In March, the grass is green and the birds are singing.

This is a very romantic season.

The auditions are only one day long.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this audition is just a gimmick, and in a sense it is also a means of publicity.

Originally, unless there was a big director, a big production, and big-name stars joining a movie audition, it would be impossible for many people to pay attention to it.

But this time it's a little different.

The judge of this audition is Lu Yuan, and this is a movie that Lu Yuan personally wrote and starred in. At the same time, many famous actresses in the circle have also expressed their interest in this movie, which has invisibly added a bit of anticipation to the audition of this movie...

The Internet is very uneasy.

Every fan of the young actress was very excited.

There were even many cases of fans starting to verbally attack and criticize each other online, and traces of their fights could be found on major forums and Weibo.

They regard this audition as a competition arena, and whoever's star is chosen will be the winner.

They feel that their star cannot possibly lose to anyone else.

Of course, in the eyes of those spectators, this audition is actually nonsense. They think that no matter what, the final winner of the audition will be among these young actresses. As for those other little-known stars and those college students who have just graduated from college?

Well, these people are just supporting roles.

Do you really think they can be elected? What a joke!

Not only the netizens who were just watching the show thought so, but even those who were waiting and watching thought so.

Only a few of the candidates' real audition information is sent to the "remote" company.

After all, who in this society likes to be a supporting role? Who likes to do such a thankless job?

There were even a few who signed up and dropped out midway to audition for Shen Lianjie...

Why?

It seems that Shen Lianjie is really having an affair with Lu Yuan. He also held an open audition today, and the audition requirements are almost exactly the same as Lu Yuan's.

There's a lot of tension between the two of them.

Compared to Lu Yuan's side, these little stars feel that they have a better chance of winning by going to Shen Lianjie's side. After all, Shen Lianjie's side does not have any particularly big-name contestants, and it recruits a wide variety of actor types.

There are auditions on the same day. One person has a high probability of being selected, while the other has a very low probability of being selected, which is almost zero. So which place would you choose?

Is there any need to ask?

The choice must be Shen Lianjie.

You must be crazy to choose Lu Yuan.

So although there were a lot of people on Lu Yuan's side, most of them were journalists from news media and people from some online portal live broadcast platforms. As for the real little actors and little stars, there were actually very few of them...

Media reporters and live broadcast platform staff are naturally crazy and excited!

They came running over happily, thinking that this audition would undoubtedly be a grand event with many flowers and scenes!

There are so many beautiful actresses, so many famous stars in the circle, and the gimmick of Lu Yuan, the traffic king.

The freshness of this show is bound to explode!

So how could they not come? Even if their legs were broken, they would frantically crawl over with their hands for fear of missing out on a good spot.

In everyone's opinion, Lu Yuan's audition was undoubtedly quite successful, and it even had the feel of a variety show.

What about Shen Lianjie?

Compared to Lu Yuan, Shen Lianjie felt very miserable.

There are so many contestants coming to participate. Even after screening according to certain conditions, there are still more than a hundred contestants...

There are many contestants, but there are not many journalists and staff of the live broadcast platforms, and they can basically only maintain a passing level.

There were big-name actresses, but not many, and they were all pre-selected stars with whom Joaquin had a good relationship and came to support the show.

After comparing the grand occasion on Lu Yuan's side, Shen Lianjie couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the actors queuing in rows, he forced a smile.

In fact, this is not what he wants, and it has never been this.

He recently secured another investment of 30 million.

Including Sun Peng's and other scattered investments, the total amount is almost 70 million, which is twice as much as the previous budget!

With such a huge investment, he can naturally hire some popular stars at high prices to support the factory.

Unfortunately, perhaps because his first two films were flopped, he found it difficult to invite those stars.

These stars don't seem to be interested in money...

This left Shen Lianjie speechless.

When did you become so noble?

All right.

When he learned the truth, he felt like tears were about to fall.

All these people went to Lu Yuan's side...

And the people who came to audition here...

They are not his ideal people.

This made Shen Lianjie inevitably feel a little cold and uneasy.

But now that the situation has been created, I have to grit my teeth and continue to do it, right?

Lu Manzi!

I'll remember this grudge!

…

Shen Lianjie was not very happy, and Lu Yuan was not happy either.

All this was completely different from what he had imagined in his plan.

These media reporters and countless audiences gave Lu Yuan a headache.

This is what is called the star effect.

In fact, this is not important to Lu Yuan at all.

Important!

Am I so fucking unappealing now?

What about those ambitious young women who have just graduated from college and want to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry? What about those young stars who have dreams and hope to become famous overnight?

Are you so short-sighted that you look down on my audition?

After all, I am the creator of two miracle box office movies, why do you look down on me like this?

Lu Yuan looked at the young actresses sitting in the nanny car and preparing to get off in the distance, and suddenly felt a little desperate.

Now this has invisibly pushed Lu Yuan to a peak that he cannot accept at all.

This peak made it very difficult for Lu Yuan to step down.

He looked through the pay of these young actresses, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

This feeling is no less than the feeling I had when I saw those Lamborghini and other luxury cars before.

It feels really bad.

It’s easy to add up to tens of millions.

Aren't you trying to kill me?

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he felt extremely aggrieved.

But he has no way out now.

What has been said has been said. So many people have come to audition. Can I really drive them all away?

Although Lu Yuan is not very smart, at least he is not mentally retarded.

Of course, no one thought Lu Yuan was unhappy.

At least Fatty Wei and all of Lu Yuan's lackeys felt that Lu Yuan should be very happy and have a sense of superiority.

They felt that their President Lu’s planning was very good. He was worthy of being a man who often made the headlines. A casual operation could become a very eye-catching publicity!

Li Qi even secretly glanced at Lu Yuan, who was drinking tea and had an expression that seemed a little indescribable.

He didn't know what Lu Yuan was thinking.

He just thought that Lu Yuan was amazing. This amazingness was a recognition of his popularity and appeal. At the same time, Lu Yuan integrated these resources quite perfectly.

It doesn’t cost much money to create such an amazing variety show.

Is this easy?

This is not easy at all!

It even gave Li Qi a sense of a master who could achieve great results with little effort!

"Mr. Lu, can we start?" Li Qi looked at the time and then looked at Lu Yuan.

"Is everyone here?" Lu Yuan turned and looked at Wu Tingting.

"Mr. Lu, all these people have not arrived yet...more than ten are missing..." Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

There weren't many people to begin with, and now there are more than ten fewer people.

Is this a joke?

“Why are there so many people missing?”

"This... Mr. Lu... they..."

"Don't hesitate, just speak your mind!"

"Mr. Lu, these people should have gone to Shen Lianjie for the audition, and they probably won't be able to come. But don't worry, Mr. Lu, these people are all unknown little actors, basically those who are dead-end supporting roles or those who just graduated from college. As for those little actresses who are a little famous in the circle, all of them came on time... It won't affect us." Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan.

"Oh, okay..."

Lu Yuan's heart sank.

Did they all run to Shen Lianjie's side?

He seemed to feel an endless sense of critical strike.

He felt that he was slapped in the face by Shen Lianjie.

He is not happy.

Then he began to regret it.

Why did I have to go through all this nonsense before? Couldn't I just choose someone carefully?

"Can we start now, Mr. Lu?"

"Isn't it eight o'clock? It's still early now. Let's wait a little longer. We have to follow the rules and procedures and cannot violate them." Lu Yuan shook his head after facing everyone's eyes. Then he silently picked up the tea beside him and drank it, his eyes occasionally looking at the entrance in the distance.

It's not the last moment, but at least there is still hope.

…

Eight o'clock arrived quickly.

Lu Yuan waited impatiently, but the dozen or so contestants never showed up.

They still extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Lu Yuan's heart.

Life is always so painful.

"Mr. Lu, the time is up, then..."

“Let’s get started!”

"Okay!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, tried to adjust his attitude and showed his signature smile.

Actually it’s not that bad.

It doesn't matter if there are only a dozen people missing. At least there are more contestants coming for the auditions than just those actresses, right?

There is still a chance.

After comforting himself in this way, Lu Yuan felt a little better.

Just as everyone was preparing for the audition to begin, there was a sudden clamor and noise from the crowd in the distance...

"What's going on?"

"I'll go check it out!"

"Um."

Wu Tingting frowned, then walked away. After about a few minutes, Wu Tingting came back.

"It's a college student who came for the audition but was late... I asked the security guard to send him away. Okay, then let's officially start the audition... Next, please..."

"Wait a minute!"

"Boss Lu, do you have anything else to say?"

"Let that college student in..."

"Mr. Lu, she's late, which doesn't comply with the rules..."

"How late was she?"

"About a minute late..."

"Let her in first. I want to know why she is late..."

"Boss Lu, this... this is not good... you just said that we have to follow the rules and procedures, this..."

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with that? Just do as I say first. I believe no one likes to be late for no reason. I think there may be a reason. One minute is not a capital crime. And I don't think we can kill the dreams of these young people." Lu Yuan suddenly became serious, without any feeling of slapping himself in the face.

"Oh... okay." Wu Tingting nodded.

She couldn't understand what Lu Yuan was thinking.

dream?

This seems a bit far-fetched.
