Chapter 42: Movie Audition
The next day, Liu Lan kept Taozi's instructions in mind and arrived at the entrance of Galaxy Building just after nine o'clock.
The Galaxy Building is the headquarters of Galaxy Film Co., Ltd. It has 37 floors in total.
As famous movie stars often appear here, the security here is very strict to prevent fans from entering randomly. Each entrance has a special security guard and electronic access control system.
As Liu Lan approached the gate, a security guard in black uniform came over to stop her.
"No outsiders are allowed to approach this place, please stay away," the security guard thought she was a young star chaser.
"I'm here for an interview," Liu Lan said.
Coincidentally, Xinghe Films had just finished its campus recruitment for the new year. The security guard said impatiently, "Don't make excuses to lie to us. The campus recruitment is over and we haven't received any new interview notices."
The security guard's words also confused Liu Lan. She opened WeChat and confirmed that there was no problem with the address. She then said to the security guard, "Professor Qiu Jing asked me to come."
When the security guard heard Qiu Jing's name, his expression changed immediately. He looked at Liu Lan and said, "So you are here for an audition. Why are you here alone? No one brought you here? Did you come here on foot? Where did you park your car?"
...
...
Liu Lan said, "I don't have a car, I came here by subway."
"That's weird," the security guard muttered, and then said, "You're here too early. But it's better to come earlier. Come and register with me."
Liu Lan followed him into the security office and wrote her information on the registration form. The security guard took out a card from the drawer and said, "This is a temporary access card. You can go in."
"Thanks!"
Liu Lan took the card and walked through a small square to the entrance of the building. On both sides of the entrance was a huge parking lot filled with various valuable business cars and nanny cars, as well as several rare sports cars.
It was working time, and many employees were walking into the building. They all looked capable and mature, full of elite temperament.
Liu Lan mixed in with them and entered the elevator.
When she reached the 37th floor, she walked out of the elevator and stepped on the soft carpet. She looked around, not knowing where to go.
A young woman who also came out of the elevator looked back at her, recognized her, and asked tentatively,
"Are you Liu Man?"
"Yes, I am."
"I remember Mr. Qiu and the others set the time at 10 o'clock. Why are you here so early?"
Liu Man smiled and said, "I think it's better to come earlier."
Her smile still carried the simplicity and shyness of a student, as well as a hint of caution. Having seen so many young women currying favor with the powerful and bossing people around, I had a crush on her.
"Come with me first."
The young woman was wearing very thin high heels, but she walked very fast. Liu Lan quickly followed her. As they walked, she said to Liu Lan, "I am Mr. Qiu's assistant, Zhou Qian. I will arrange for you to stay in Conference Room 4. I will notify you when Mr. Qiu and others arrive."
"Thank you, Sister Qian."
"No need to thank me, this is my job," Zhou Qian felt very happy with Liu Lan's sweet words.
Zhou Qian had heard of Liu Lan a long time ago. Qiu Jing had mentioned this girl to her more than once and had also shown her Liu Lan's photo, so Zhou Qian was able to recognize her at once.
Since the film "Listen, the Sound of the Wind" was successfully approved, the company has focused all its attention on it. Qiu Jing turned down other work and took full responsibility for the progress of the project. Now the basic preparations for the film have been completed, except for the supporting role to be played by Liu Man and the selection of the second female lead.
Today's audition was not actually prepared specifically for Liu Lan, but was mainly for the casting of the second female lead.
Liu Lan sat in a corner near the window of the conference room and waited quietly. The side of the conference room facing the corridor was made of fully transparent glass and there were no curtains, so people outside could see the room clearly.
Ye Zian and an investor came over and saw the girl in the meeting room at a glance.
The girl was wearing a light grey slim-fitting coat. She sat very straight, with her upper body straight, keeping her clothes neat and tidy without any wrinkles. Her legs were together and sideways, her hands were folded, and her posture was very natural, without any deliberate look. At this moment, she was looking out the window with her head tilted, revealing a very classic bun on the back of her head. There were two sparrows standing on the window sill, attracting all her attention.
