"Yes, Director Xu, how did you know? I came to the audition with a classmate today, and she was right behind me!"
Upon hearing Xu Lu's words, Lin Xiaoxin replied with a surprised expression.
In fact, she was even more puzzled as to why the famous Director Xu would ask such a strange question.
Lin Xiaoxin wasn't surprised if the other party asked about things related to acting, and she could even understand if they asked about family matters.
But why would someone ask themselves if they came with friends? That's so unexpected!
In fact, Zhou, the assistant director sitting next to Xu Lu, also felt that his director Xu's question was quite absurd.
At this moment, Old Zhou had some doubts in his mind:
"Director Xu has been sitting next to me the whole time. He doesn't have the list of actors who came to participate in the audition today. How did he know that Lin Xiaoxin had a friend who came with her?"
Moreover, judging from Director Xu's expression just now, he clearly didn't recognize this Lin Xiaoxin. As for why he gave her a supporting role, it's actually quite unbelievable..."
Leaving aside the two bewildered individuals, Xu Lu smiled and nodded after receiving the answer, saying:
"Okay, I understand. Lin Xiaoxin, you can go out now."
Oh, and remember to grab a document from the staff member next to you before you leave.
"Oh, thank you, Director Xu. I'll be going now."
Lin Xiaoxin nodded, puzzled, and obediently accepted a document before turning and leaving.
Then, she soon ran into her good friend 'Zuzu' who was waiting outside, bored out of her mind.
Before she could even speak, the group leader who saw her come out greeted her with his hands behind his back, saying:
"See? I told you it was hopeless, but you still insisted on coming. But even if it's hopeless, you can't forget the big meal you promised!"
“Group leader, what are you saying? What do you mean no chance? I have good news for you. I got a supporting role.”
Seeing that the other person was about to pull her outside, Lin Xiaoxin quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, 'Group Group' also appeared quite surprised and exclaimed loudly:
"What? You got the audition?"
As soon as she said this, many people outside cast envious glances at Lin Xiaoxin.
Lin Xiaoxin nodded, both excited and a little proud, and said:
"Hmm, a supporting role with a name. Oh right, group leader, you should also go in and audition."
Director Xu just asked me specifically if I had any friends with me, and I told him about you…
'Zuzu,' who was about to leave, was half-dragged and half-pulled into the audition room by Lin Xiaoxin.
Then... she also saw Xu Lu and the others.
Now that they were all inside, the "group leader" finally straightened out and began to introduce himself in a serious manner:
"Hello directors, hello Director Xu, I'm Wang Zuxian, here today for an audition... for the female lead..."
Actually, Wang Zuxian still felt a little guilty when she mentioned the words "female lead".
Don't be fooled by her nonchalant attitude when she came in; it's because she never thought she would be chosen.
But standing in front of the industry's hottest director, Wang Zuxian felt much more nervous than usual.
However, something unexpected happened soon afterward.
Just as Wang Zuxian was about to continue, Xu Lu suddenly spoke two words:
"Can!"
"Wh...what?"
Wang Zuxian's thoughts were interrupted, and for a moment his mind couldn't quite process what was happening.
What did she just hear?
The director on the other end of the line seemed to say "okay," and it didn't sound like he was on the phone; it sounded like he was speaking directly to her.
But the key point is that after she walked in, she only said one sentence during her self-introduction: "Can I do what?"
Are auditions really that easy now?
Or is it that... this audition was just that casual?
Wang Zuxian felt like her brain was a complete mess, with all sorts of thoughts rushing in, making it impossible for her to think.
She had auditioned for other film crews before, and the process was incredibly complicated.
Moreover, the reputation of those other film crews is nowhere near that of Director Xu.
If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting opposite me was the famous Director Xu.
Wang Zuxian must have thought he had been scammed by some kind of fraud gang.
Actually, she wasn't the only one at the scene who was completely bewildered.
As the assistant director, Lao Zhou was equally baffled at this moment.
He felt that there was something wrong with his director Xu's decision to make Lin Xiaoxin a supporting actress.
Now Director Xu is suddenly saying that this girl in front of him can be the lead actress. Isn't that a bit too casual?
Before Lao Zhou could even speak, Wang Zuxian asked the question himself:
"Director Xu, what...what did you say?"
"Didn't you come here to audition for the lead role? I mean you could be the lead."
Xu Lu nodded with certainty and then said:
"According to the plan, once the entire crew is assembled, filming for 'A Chinese Ghost Story' will begin immediately."
So I hope you can finish taking care of your business in the next few days.
"I'll be filming on set for the next few months, so my schedule might not be as flexible..."
Although Xu Lu explained it very clearly.
But upon hearing this, Wang Zuxian felt even more confused.
What's going on here? How did I become the main character?
Moreover, the most important part of the audition, the acting part, hasn't even started yet. How can you think I can be the lead actor?
After a long while, Wang Zuxian finally came to his senses and said:
