"All your bonuses for this year will be deducted. Go down and write a self-criticism," Xi Wei really didn't want to see him. The person he had taken a fancy to at first sight was snatched away by someone else. The reason was still his own fault. The one who snatched away the opportunity was the studio of the movie star whom Luo Zhu admired the most.
I feel like there is no future ahead of me, and I'm so angry.
Cheng Luozhu signed the contract successfully and was assigned an assistant and an apartment to live in on the same day. The official WeChat account was also operated simultaneously, and his agent was Lin Su.
Although everyone in the studio is very experienced, the protagonist has a lot of gossips about him, and if it is not handled properly it may bring trouble to the studio, so it is better for him to take care of it personally.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you bring one person or two people.
The Zhulu crew later called Lin Su and said that the leading role had not been decided yet. There were only two candidates in total, and the decision would be made after re-audition.
The news of the re-audition spread quickly, but the two places surprised everyone.
Zhou Xintang, from his own studio.
Cheng Luozhu, from Zhou Xintang Studio.
Originally, everyone wanted to criticize Cheng Luozhu, who didn't know where he came from, and how he had the nerve to snatch the role from their actor Zhou, calling him another vase.
However, when they saw the studio, everyone was a little confused. They were really scolding them directly as if they were the children of the Lord.
Their Lord's contracted competitor can't be making things difficult for himself, right? Doesn't that mean he is really extremely powerful?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhou Xintang updated his personal information. He took a selfie with Cheng Luozhu, both of them were smiling, with the caption: "New friend, please take good care of me in the future."
Cheng Luozhu's homepage also authenticated Zhou Xintang's studio, and reposted the message with a shy smile.
Judging from their interactions, the relationship between the two is really good. However, in the nanny car going to the crew, last week's actor had a polite smile on his face, and Cheng Luozhu sat obediently. Although he was almost suffocated by his idol being in front of him, he was going to compete with his idol for the same role, which was extremely embarrassing, but he really wanted that role.
Zhou Xintang didn't say anything, so Cheng Luozhu could only tentatively say, "Senior Zhou, those slanderous words about you in the past were just my youth and ignorance. I didn't understand the entertainment industry and just said random things. Actually, I really admire your acting skills."
Lin Su admired his behavior of not making excuses but choosing to take the blame for the original owner. Even if the young master of the Cheng family was a bastard, Cheng Luozhu was the one who occupied someone else's body and identity. Living well was important, but taking responsibility was equally important.
"I don't know if what you said is true or not," Zhou Xintang's smile faded a little. He was always a little cold towards strangers, and even with Lin Su, he didn't open up to him from the beginning. "As a senior, I just hope you can live up to your profession as an actor. As for whether what you said is true or not, let time prove it."
This was a bit rude, but Cheng Luozhu relaxed a little and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely not let you down."
Lin Su didn't say a word the entire time, not even glancing sideways. Zhou Xintang narrowed his eyes, kicked his shoes with his toes, and said, "Aren't you really afraid that we'll start arguing and then all the auditions will be canceled?"
"You two are both professionals and wouldn't make such a small mistake," Lin Su said with a smile, shifting his feet. "Besides, Xintang, you are a senior. How could you be so petty as to pick on a junior?"
This tone made Zhou Xintang feel that they were extremely close, and the slight anger in his heart disappeared in an instant: "How do you know?"
"If you are really angry, just suppress him with your acting skills and win the role. You will definitely feel very relieved when you let out that anger," Lin Su said with a smile.
"What if..." Zhou Xintang stopped talking mid-sentence. He glanced at Cheng Luozhu and said, "Fight fairly and let me see your strength."
"Yeah," Cheng Luozhu chuckled and nodded, looking at the two of them and said, "You two have a really good relationship."
Lin Su remained calm, but Zhou Xintang's smile froze. He pinched his earlobe uncomfortably and said, "Not bad."
This kid is also quite good at talking.
There weren't too many people at the re-audition. In addition to the few people from the last audition, there was also a very ordinary-looking bald man and a man in a suit who looked no less than a top star.
The bald man may seem inconspicuous, but he is the screenwriter of this film, Liu Er, a golden hand in the circle. His screenwriting works can be as delicate as spring water or as vast and magnificent as the ocean, with varied styles. When he first appeared, many people were guessing about his gender. Some people thought he was a graceful woman, until he showed up in person, with messy hair, a T-shirt and big shorts, and a pair of black-framed glasses, his standard otaku image surprised everyone.
Of course, Liu Er's hair was very thick at the beginning, but later he became bald due to excessive brain use, so this golden hand shaved his bald head completely.
Such a high status also means that he has considerable power in the selection of roles for this film.
As for the other one, she is Cheng Luozhu’s official partner, Xi Wei, the president of Xi Corporation.
In the original world line, he fell in love with Cheng Luozhu at first sight, and fell in love with her again. Unfortunately, he was cheated by an employee of his own company, which caused the road to chasing his wife to go from one point of difficulty to ten points, which was very miserable, although it may be even worse now.
When Lin Su thought of the president's wife-slave image in the original world, he wanted to laugh at the image of him in a suit and tie who seemed very abstinent.
It’s nothing, the contrast is just too great.
But no matter what happens to them in the future, his appearance here now is thought-provoking. Xi's is the largest investor in Zhulu, and Xi Wei has other thoughts about Cheng Luozhu. It is natural for him to want to support the person he likes.
If Zhou Xintang and Cheng Luozhu perform at similar levels, the director team probably won't object too much to Xi Wei wanting to designate the leading role.
Zhou Xintang and Cheng Luozhu both love acting, so later Zhou Xintang lost the person who also loved acting and shared the same passion, and had no choice but to leave the circle and never appear in front of the camera again in his life. The combination of these two things was a fatal blow to him.
There are two reasons why he had to leave this circle. One is that the quality of subsequent films could not keep up and his foothold was unstable. The other is that no one protected him and he could only let the dirty water fall on him.
Cheng Luozhu clearly spotted Xi Wei's figure. He glanced at her and then turned around and whispered, "That's Xi's president. He seems to have some opinions about me. He's also a rival of Brother Zhou's former company. We have to be careful."
Zhou Xintang also saw the person, but he just glanced over and raised his eyebrows. He was a professional actor who always paid attention to his image and posture at all times, and he smelled a similar feeling in the president of Xi Group.
The elegant gentleman in every move is not acted, but that cold temperament... is pretended.
He is the complete opposite of Lin Su. Lin Su looks kind and gentle, and will not slander or criticize anyone casually. He has a sunny smile, but the more this is the case, the colder and more difficult it is to approach him.
If he and his agent didn't share the same problem and he offered a little help, his agent might not have the same good relationship with him as he does now.
