Chapter 052: Waiting for the Audition
Qi Luo had not had much contact with Yu Man, and only now did he find her quite interesting. As a contracted artist of a small company, there are not many people as bold as her who dare to say this about He Xin, a senior who is on the rise and has Dynasty Film and Television as his backer.
But she didn't expect that the character of Sang Zhu had such a past.
Originally they wanted He Xin to play the role but he was rejected. After the rejection, he came back to fight for the role and even went so far as to set up a public audition. What was the reason for He Xin's change of attitude?
It can't be that he suddenly felt like acting again.
Qi Luo put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to speak softly as there might be ears on the other side of the wall.
She is not afraid, but Yu Man is not very famous and is signed to a small company. If she is really targeted by someone like He Xin who has a powerful backer, she will probably have a hard time making a name for herself.
Yu Man was stubborn and said bluntly, "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of being overheard if I say it. Luoluo, I can't beat He Xin in terms of acting skills and background. You have to perform well and try to suppress He Xin! I hate people like her who abuse their power to do whatever they want!"
Although she said this, Yu Man still kept her voice very low, probably because she was afraid of implicating Qi Luo.
"You can't compete with me, do you think I can? We have filmed a movie together, you know how good my acting skills are?" Qi Luo said with a smile.
"You don't have acting skills but you have a background. You have Ancheng Entertainment behind you. That's your confidence!"
Wow, now I’m just going to use the background.
"The background of Dynasty Film and Television is no smaller than that of Ancheng Entertainment."
Yu Man suddenly lost his temper: "That's right. With the momentum of Dynasty Film's development, anyone can see that there is a big boss behind it."
"Don't worry, just try your best and act better. I may not be as good as He Xin in acting, but I am miles ahead of her in appearance. What if the director, producer, and screenwriter are just obsessed with looks? Sang Zhu is the hero's biological sister, and her appearance is stunning in the original novel."
"Do you have a grudge against He Xin?" Qi Luo couldn't help but ask.
The main reason was that her targeting of He Xin was too obvious.
"I don't have any hatred, I just don't like her."
Facing Qi Luo's smiling eyes, Yu Man sighed: "Well, I do have a grudge against her. I have a friend who likes her. She and my friend had developed to the point of confirming their relationship, but she suddenly dumped my friend because someone who could give her resources offered her an 'olive branch', you know, that kind of 'olive branch'."
Qi Luo nodded.
I understand. It's about keeping someone. It's not uncommon in the circle.
"My poor friend fell in love with someone for the first time, but he was hurt so badly that he left the country and got away from this sad place."
"That's fine. Everyone has their own aspirations, and we can't use our own standards to demand others. But you don't know that just a few days ago, He Xin's sponsor seemed to have met someone who was more interested in her. He Xin was facing being abandoned. I don't know where she got the contact information of my friend, and she actually called him to cry about her grievances. He Xin hurt my friend like that, how could she still have the nerve to call my friend to cry about the grievances she suffered from her sponsor!"
Yu Man was so angry that she wanted to rush over and beat He Xin up right away.
It turns out that she is facing being abandoned by her sponsor. No wonder she suddenly wants to play a role that she has rejected.
"Fortunately, my friend was still sober and didn't fall for her trick. But my friend was also very upset and couldn't help but call me to complain. He also reminded me to stick to my original intention in this circle and not be easily assimilated by this chaotic and decadent world. Just kidding, if I didn't stick to my original intention, with my face, I would have become a top star eight hundred years ago. I didn't take that shortcut before, and now I'm a seasoned veteran, so why would I take it again?"
"Your friend is very kind to you and truly cares about you."
Qi Luo did not make many comments on the chaos in the entertainment industry out of hatred. As Yu Man just said, everyone has their own aspirations. Moreover, we cannot say that everyone who takes shortcuts wants to go astray. Maybe that was not their original intention at the beginning, but they could not resist and ultimately had to choose to obey.
She once struggled in the entertainment industry without any background, so she can understand the feeling of being forced into a corner. With such a face, many people stare at her, and because of rejection, she has lost many good resources that were already in her hands.
If she hadn't been "ignorant" and always offended people, how could it have taken her ten years to reach that height? So she can understand these people who are forced into a desperate situation.
After all, not everyone has her beauty, acting skills and brains. It is difficult to make a name for yourself if you are always so "unwise".
"Of course, I really care about him and feel sorry for him from the bottom of my heart."
"By the way, the original author of "Immortal Demon Chaos" is the screenwriter herself. This is not the first time that Lou Zhi has served as the screenwriter for a film or TV adaptation of her novel. The previous adaptation that Lou Zhi served as the screenwriter was also a huge hit. Her skills are recognized to be very strong."
"I heard that Lou Zhicai is 26 years old and is a beautiful and cool lady. Unfortunately, there are no photos of her circulating on the Internet. I have only heard about her appearance. I have read many of her novels. I am her fan. If I can meet her later, I will definitely ask her for an autograph."
As he was speaking, there was a noise.
Following the sound, I saw a man being surrounded by several people.
"Look, He Xin is here, what a big scene!" Yu Man's dislike for He Xin was evident in his words.
"She is worthy of being the one favored by Dynasty Films. The managers, assistants and bodyguards of others were all stopped outside, but she was able to come in with a large group of people."
This "grand and majestic" is somewhat ironic.
There were many people coming for the interview. Before He Xin arrived, many people stared at Qi Luo. Some of them, like Yu Man, must have heard the rumor that the role was originally given to Ancheng Entertainment, and she was the only artist from Ancheng Entertainment who came to audition today, so she knew that the role was originally given to her; some of them must have been simply attracted by her superior looks; and some of them must have seen the sensational news online and were curious about her.
After He Xin came, He Xin became the most popular person.
He Xin walked along without looking around. When someone greeted her, she just nodded in a "cold" manner as a response, with a very arrogant attitude.
To be honest, in the ten years in the entertainment industry, Qi Luo has rarely seen people like He Xin who are so arrogant regardless of the occasion, who don't give anyone any face and don't leave any way out for themselves.
Few people who can make it in the entertainment industry are stupid.
There are people who dare not offend you, and naturally there are also people you cannot offend. If you don't care about the consequences and never give others face, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later, because no one knows whether those seemingly insignificant people may be hiding someone you cannot afford to offend.
He Xin walked over and stopped in front of them.
Qi Luo thought that she and Yu Man’s friend were a couple before, and she should be here for Yu Man, but she didn’t expect that she would directly skip Yu Man and look at him: “Su Qi Luo?”
