"Sometimes you have to admit that luck plays a part. Look at Yu Xiangfei, after his group disbanded, he was the one who fared the worst."
"And now, someone else has climbed up to Sister Yan's ladder. It really is like rising to the top in one step."
At this point, the actor leaned close to Zheng Shiming's ear and whispered something.
"I heard that he has already been cast as the male lead in this movie. Luckily, I only got a small role in my audition."
"Those who came to audition for the male lead really came up empty-handed."
"By the way, I didn't know you were here to audition for what role."
Zheng Shiming glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "Male lead."
"Uh..." The male actor looked somewhat embarrassed and finally waved his hand awkwardly.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!"
Zheng Shiming ignored him, and the other person seemed to feel too embarrassed and didn't come any closer.
Zheng Shiming was lost in thought.
If you want to stay by Hua Rong's side, then you definitely have to get rid of Yu Xiangfei.
Besides, in his view...
Hua Rong, a woman with a cold personality and power, may not necessarily protect Yu Xiangfei out of love.
Maybe they just don't want what belongs to them to be looked down upon by others.
"But we can't rule out the possibility that she developed genuine feelings."
After all, putting yourself in Hua Rong's shoes, you would never do something reckless for a man.
"This matter needs to be carefully considered; we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
"Number 666".
Just as Zheng Shiming was lost in thought, Liu Qin's voice rang out.
Zheng Shiming took a deep breath and stood up.
The actor who had just spoken to him was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "This number is really awesome."
Upon entering the audition room, Zheng Shiming immediately spotted Yan Huarong.
She wore a long white dress and had her long hair flowing over her shoulders. At first glance, she looked like a fairy from heaven.
But soon, Zheng Shiming realized that Hua Rong was not a fairy.
The other person had delicate features and fair skin, as if they had used a beauty filter, but their expression was indifferent and aloof.
The way she looked at him was as if she were examining an object.
Even though Zheng Shiming was prepared, he still felt humiliated by that look in his eyes.
In Hua Rong's eyes, it was as if he was completely transparent, giving him an urge to rush out the door.
Hua Rong ignored Zheng Shiming and turned to Leng Youxing, asking, "How is it?"
Leng Youxing frowned and looked Zheng Shiming up and down, then down and up again.
The disdain in their eyes was impossible to hide.
Zheng Shiming felt like his head was about to explode, and he wished he could slap these self-important people across the face.
"It's barely usable, but you'll have to lend me your Ah Fei."
Leng Youxing sighed, still quite disappointed in Zheng Shiming.
However, the fact that Hua Rong was willing to let him be the chief director already shows him a lot of respect.
He even specified only one male lead, leaving the rest of the actors to be chosen according to his ideas.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Rather than being an assistant director under Niu Cheng, he wanted to direct a film himself.
Since Hua Rong has given him this opportunity, he should be grateful and not ask for too much else.
Moreover… a glint flashed in Leng Youxing’s eyes as his gaze fell on Zheng Shiming.
If the male lead's performance is subpar, then as the director, he also has the right to rewrite the script.
"By the way, why didn't you want Ah Fei to be the lead actor?"
Leng Youxing knew that Yu Xiangfei was definitely more than just a pet to Hua Rong.
If that's the case, why not promote him?
Leng Youxing had seen Yu Xiangfei perform in Niu Cheng's film crew before, and had also seen him perform now.
His progress in just a few months was so great that he felt he had discovered a treasure.
He couldn't wait for his brilliance to be seen by everyone through his lens.
Hua Rong glanced at Yu Xiangfei.
Yu Xiangfei, who looked incredibly innocent and childlike in front of her, seemed to remain the same as always.
But Hua Rong always felt that the other person was becoming more clingy.
She rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Afei isn't popular enough yet, and this leading role in a big IP isn't suitable for him. I'll keep an eye out for other scripts for him in the future, and I'll personally promote him when the time comes."
Leng Youxing nodded, glancing at her with a hint of envy.
“If you start learning from Teacher Li Shitian now, you will definitely surprise those who mocked you in the future.”
Li Shitian is a true veteran performing artist.
He is the king of Huang Guo opera, and also a legendary director from ten years ago.
Whether they are actors or directors, they all consider it an honor to learn from him.
He never expected that Master Li Shitian, who hadn't taken on any apprentices for three years, would accept Hua Rong as his student.
If he were teaching acting, he probably wouldn't be surprised.
But Teacher Li Shitian is going to teach Hua Rong how to act!
He taught Hua Rong, an actor known in the directing world as "the actor with the least talent for directing in Huang Guo," how to make a film!
Those who know the inside story say: Teacher Li Shitian's lifelong reputation will be ruined by Yan Huarong.
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow. "You're the first person in the industry to think so highly of me."
Leng Youxing smiled meaningfully: "Because you are the first person who dares to put such a big IP in my hands. If I don't believe you, wouldn't that be like not believing in myself!"
Hua Rong replied, "You're the first person I can entrust with such a major IP with such peace of mind!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Youxing smiled slightly and turned her head away.
His expression regained its composure as he looked at Zheng Shiming, who was still standing there in a daze, and said:
