During auditions, the time allotted for reading the script, understanding the character, and interpreting the character in one's own way is very short.
Even though Gu Hanyin had already decided that the role was Cen Yu, He Ci could still feel that inexplicable nervousness when she looked back at the audition.
Cen Yu is not a professionally trained actor and has never acted before. Although Yunxing has acting classes, He Ci knows that expecting an idol's acting skills to improve after taking these classes is as unrealistic as hoping that a junior high school student who has only taken an information technology class can immediately get a job at a big company.
He sat there, watching Cen Yu in the audition clip, and felt a sense of shared tension.
It wasn't until Cen Yu put down the script and said that he was ready that things began.
—Because it was an audition clip, the camera didn't use any special techniques; it was simply left there to record everything.
But when Cen Yu transformed into Qian Aige and stared at the casting director and others, He Ci understood through the lens why Gu Hanyin chose Cen Yu.
They even released the video directly, using a real-life example to explain to them why they chose Cen Yu to play Qian Aige.
Gu Hanyin was so cautious, as if he wasn't some genius director, but rather a fledgling web series director who desperately wanted top stars to star in his low-budget productions and wanted to use concrete examples to convince his agency.
This was also the first time Yan Chongning had seen the audition footage from back then...
"I think after you've seen this, you'll all understand why I chose Cen Yu."
After all of Cen Yu's audition clips had finished playing, Gu Hanyin finally spoke.
“The filming period for Dog Journey will be at least three to four months,” Gu Hanyin said. “My requirement is very simple: actors are not allowed to film multiple projects at the same time.”
"There is a fixed rest time every week. During the rest time, you can go out to pick up business or do your team activities, as long as it does not affect the filming."
Cen Yu, of course, had no objection to this.
Anyway, apart from making mini-albums and singles, this group spends the rest of their time doing nothing. Only the more popular members get their own resources.
And by getting on Gu Hanyin's fast track, Yunxing's internal evaluation of Cen Yu will rise sharply... He Ci certainly understands this principle.
The two sides discussed the details briefly, and then Gu Hanyin's studio would liaise with He Ci. Gu Hanyin herself didn't handle these minor details much.
"Everything will be kept secret until the official announcement."
Before leaving, Gu Hanyin glanced at Cen Yu again and said, "Your look needs to be changed soon."
...
Every Monday is the time for the famous paparazzi "Big Hammer" to release all sorts of new scoops.
At 10 a.m., while the worker was still drowsy and wishing he could slack off until noon, Da Chui immediately posted a headline with a rather sensational impact—
Cen Yu was seen walking with a strange man, then mysteriously and hastily departed!
In the scene, Cen Yu and a bespectacled man appear to be on intimate terms as they enter a room together. Then, Da Chui's voiceover says that he has been waiting outside for four hours before he sees Cen Yu, wearing a hat, and the mysterious man hurriedly leaving in a van.
The onlookers immediately felt like they'd just stumbled upon a juicy juicy story! But some observant people took a closer look and realized that the so-called mysterious man looked very familiar... They even posted pictures below, proving that this person was right next to Cen Yu at the airport and was clearly his assistant!
[I can't believe it! What a mysterious man! Isn't that Cen Yu's assistant?!]
[...This room is Yunxing's styling studio; she always gets a new look done here.]
[I wasn't wearing a hat when I went in, but I made a point of wearing one when I came out... Is this because of the new look I'm preparing for the new mini-album?]
[This is what lured everyone in.jpg]
[But why can't Yunxing let her assistant debut? I think this assistant is quite attractive!]
Although the video was filmed secretly and had a watermark blurred, you could still clearly see Cen Yu's profile and the assistant next to him who was slightly taller than Cen Yu.
The two seemed to have a good relationship. They were chatting before entering the studio, and then the assistant seemed to say something, and Cen Yu suddenly smiled.
The assistant adjusted his glasses and followed Cen Yu into the studio.
Compared to the almost baseless and boring news from Cen Yu, what the general public is more concerned about is that the official Weibo account of the movie "Dog Journey," which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became active.
Although only a concept poster was released, everyone felt that this indicated that Gu Hanyin had some new moves in mind.
Currently, the official Weibo account only follows a few production companies and individuals such as Ji Hengyun and Gu Hanyin.
And one anonymous forum even created a long thread—
[Place your bet now! Who will win the bid for Aegis World Cup?! hot]
[Subject: Wait, this "Dog Journey" movie looks like it's about to start filming, so why haven't they announced who Qian Aige is yet? First of all, I'm a complete casual viewer, just curious about this big project on your forum. Hopefully, after all this hype, it won't flop at the box office and with critics, and Gu Hanyin will go crazy!]
[1L: After seeing the OP's following, let's all move on. It's just another case of people getting impatient because they can't get their hands on a pancake.]
[2L: Who told Gu Hanyin to be so cruel, rejecting both older actors and those with slick acting skills? Haven't you seen that since this standard came out, Gu Hanyin has become the most worthless director in your forum? (shakes head)]
[6L: Didn't XY go to the audition before? He was even photographed leaving Gu Hanyin's studio, so why didn't anyone vote for him?]
[20L: Cindy, that's enough. Why are you pretending to be a nobody and subtly bringing up his audition again? Everyone on your forum with a bit of influence has gone to auditions!]
[67L: xy, zkl, huj... these guys have all secretly claimed the auditions, right?]
[100L: I really hope my newbie who just debuted can be on this list too (praying)]
[101L: CY fans? No problem, you can go hang out in the neighbor's sister-in-law's building (laughs)]
[106L: Speaking of Cen Yu, have he and the top star really become good friends?? The show preview even shows them living together!]
[120L: It's just wheat bran, you actually took it seriously (rolls eyes)]
[130L: Please pay attention to Mu Fengyin's new album "xxx". Before gossiping, why not support him first!]
[2103L: Okay, back to the main topic, how long is Gu Hanyin going to keep us in suspense?!]
[2200L: Breaking news! DogTrip's official Weibo account is active again!!! New follower: TINONE-岑郁V.]
