Chapter 96: Wen Yu, we have a long way to go
When Director Zheng heard the word "newcomer", he said "Oh" in disappointment.
Wen Yu's death was a big blow to the group of directors who had worked with Wen Yu. After all, there are very few actors in the entertainment industry who are as talented, humble and hardworking as Wen Yu.
They all have good scripts and want to work with Wen Yu.
What a pity...
God is jealous of talented people.
Thinking of the news of Wen Yu's death, Director Zheng's voice became low. "Does he want to audition for the role of the Regent? I heard you say he's a newcomer? Then I advise him not to hold out too much hope, because Su Xingye also has his eyes on the role of the Regent..."
Wen Yu: "!"
He was already interested in the role of "Regent", and now that he heard that Su Xingye also took a fancy to this role, Wen Yu's attitude towards the role of "Regent" changed from interest to determination.
Song Shinian noticed the change in Wen Yu's expression.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about something.
Director Zheng on the other side continued, "Actually, Su Xingye originally had his eye on the role of the Third Prince. Before you officially returned, I had initially chosen him as the Third Prince. Now that I've reserved that role for you, he's settled on the role of the Prince Regent. Su Xingye's acting has improved greatly over the years. If your friend is a newcomer, I'd advise him to find another role. Auditioning is a waste of time."
"Let's try it."
Song Shinian smiled and said, "I believe my friend."
When saying the word "believe", Song Shinian's tone revealed an unprecedented firmness.
"That……"
Song Shinian had said so much, and Director Zheng had no reason to refuse, so he sighed and said, "Since you've asked me in person, I'll give your friend a chance. The audition will be next Friday, and the entire audition will be live broadcast. Is your friend okay with this?"
It was Director Zheng’s idea to broadcast the entire audition live.
The name of this script with two male protagonists is "Fu Jiang Shan". Some characters have more important roles and some characters have less. Director Zheng was worried that netizens would be dissatisfied with the roles of his own stars and spread unnecessary rumors such as "contextual discussion" and "partiality" on the Internet, so he came up with the idea of live broadcasting the entire audition process.
If fans disagree with the casting, they can watch the live replay, which allows netizens to see everyone's performance on the spot.
"able."
Wen Yu mouthed the word "can" to Song Shinian.
Seeing this, Song Shinian's smile deepened: "Yes."
Director Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Originally, after hearing the word "newcomer", he had no hope for Wen Yu, but now seeing Song Shinian's reaction, Director Zheng couldn't help but look forward to Wen Yu's performance.
He believed in Song Shinian's vision.
"Then have your friend come for the audition next Friday."
Song Shinian had already said this, so Director Zheng could only choose to believe him: "I'll send you the audition location later."
Song Shinian responded with "Okay".
Director Zheng, feeling sorry for the name "Wen Yu," said, "The role of the Prince Regent is a hot topic in 'Overthrowing the Empire.' The Third Prince has already chosen you, so they're all pinning their hopes on the Prince Regent. I know of over a hundred people auditioning for the role. Su Xingye has the best chance of success, but the others' acting is also good. So tell your friend to be mentally prepared. Even if he doesn't get selected, don't be discouraged. After all, from what you've described, he's still a newcomer. His life has just begun, and there will be more excellent roles waiting for him in the future."
"Thank you, Director Zheng."
Song Shinian could sense the kindness in Director Zheng's words, so he said to him, "I'll pass on your words to him."
"good."
After confirming that Song Shinian would play the role of the "Third Prince," Director Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he asked, "Are you free next Friday?"
"have."
Song Shinian replied.
Since he has decided to take on the script of "Fu Jiangshan", he will devote all his time to "Fu Jiangshan".
"I'd like you to come over next Friday to judge the auditions."
Before Song Shinian could say anything, Director Zheng further explained, "Everyone recognizes your acting skills. If you can be a judge for 'Fu Jiang Shan', I believe the audition results will be more convincing."
"Aren't you afraid that I might be partial?"
Song Shinian joked with a smile.
"No."
Director Zheng said without hesitation, "Who doesn't know that you are the most fair person in the entertainment industry? I feel very relieved to have you as a judge with me."
Song Shinian's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly.
The premise of Director Zheng's words is that the people who auditioned are not important to him, but if his guess is correct, then he cannot guarantee that he will not be partial.
Director Zheng had no idea what Song Shinian was thinking.
Seeing that Song Shinian didn't refute him, Director Zheng assumed that he had agreed to be a judge. He spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice: "I will send you the location of the audition later. Be sure to come."
"good."
Song Shinian nodded in agreement.
The audition is now settled for the time being.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yu set his eyes on Song Shinian.
When Song Shinian was on the phone, his voice was playing out loud. There were only Wen Yu and Song Shinian in the box, and Wen Yu heard the whole thing.
After learning that Su Xingye was also going to audition for the role of the Regent, Wen Yu's mood became visibly cheerful. He looked at the handsome Song Shinian and said with a somewhat teasing smile: "If my acting skills are not up to standard, will Teacher Song be partial to me?"
"meeting."
Song Shiyong said in a young voice.
Wen Yu frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that Song Shinian would say "no" coldly, but he didn't expect the other party's answer to be "yes".
Wen Yu couldn't help swallowing.
He didn't know if it was Wen Yu's illusion, but he always felt that Song Shinian's eyes were looking at him differently than before...
Wen Yu forced himself to suppress this strange feeling.
"Um... the barbecue is here..."
Wen Yu stiffly changed the subject: "It will get cold if you don't eat it."
In fact, the barbecue has been served for a long time.
Wen Yu's method of changing the subject was a bit clumsy, but Song Shinian did not rush to expose him. Instead, he curled the corners of his thin lips.
Wen Yu, we have a long way to go.
