The restroom of the production crew was cleaned very clean, Shen Liang'an sat on the toilet, staring at the white door panel, eyes full of helplessness.
This is a completely unfamiliar situation, and it is different from entering Weiran for the first time.
In Weiran, if he didn’t understand something, he could always go to the president’s office and directly ask his best teacher—Ji Chengzhou. Even if he was a complete novice, Kexin was always at peace.
But here, he is an investor and producer, and it is impossible for him to admit that he does not understand the terms that are repeatedly mentioned by everyone. More importantly, Liu Yue cannot give him a sense of security.
"If you go to the bathroom, come out quickly. The casting will start in 5 minutes. If you miss it, you don't have to regret it."
The field manager in charge of the outfield shouted outside the bathroom door with a loudspeaker.
Instead, it woke up Shen Liang'an. There was no point in procrastinating. Going back after it started would only make people affirm his unprofessionalism.
Shen Liang'an washed his face with clean water, and walked out of the bathroom after the drops of water on his face dried up.
Many extraordinary-looking entertainers had already gathered outside the door. Some of them were holding scripts and standing by themselves, while some were accompanied by two or three assistants.
Shen Liang'an walked from the bathroom to the small room for the interview. He was about to unlock the door when his wrist was slammed down.
"The interview hasn't started yet. If you go in and disturb the director and the others, then your visit today will be in vain." Shen Liang'an was stopped by a well-proportioned man with a cropped head.
Among a group of creamy niche students with dyed blue, silver, and pink hair, this one in front of him is considered fresh and refined.
"At first glance, he looks like a little-known country bumpkin. He doesn't even know the interview process, and he doesn't have an assistant to remind him. I said Jiang Ye, it's too kind to care what this kind of person does!"
Another boy with delicate facial features came out of the crowd. He had delicate makeup painted on his face, but the makeup was not heavy, but light, which highlighted his cuteness.
When talking to the two of them, the little boy raised his chin with arrogance.
The entertainers in the entertainment industry are all good people. On the surface, two entertainers are close friends, but in private they are enemies who want each other to have a big scandal. It is quite normal.
The artists who didn't want to cause trouble before the interview turned their heads early, pretending not to see the people who had the dispute.
Shen Liang'an looked at the short-haired man with a cold expression, then at the young boy with an arrogant face, and suddenly understood the current situation.
Hey, wait, they seem to have misunderstood something...
"I..." Shen Liang'an wanted to explain.
"It's none of your business, just stay where it's cool." The little boy was annoyed for some reason.
He wanted to push away the young man standing in front of him, but Shen Liang'an was 1.8 meters tall, and his figure was much stronger than the boy.
The young man with slender arms and legs was not much stronger than a girl, and Shen Liang'an stood on the spot, as steady as a rock.
"Hey, you, what's your kid's name? Don't you know what it means to respect seniors?" The young man was so angry that his cheeks flushed.
I approached the young man forward, but found that my height was too different from the young man's, so I silently took a few steps back.
The appearance of the young man baring his teeth and claws reminded Shen Liang'an of the felines besieged by the enemy in the animal world, breathing fiercely, just to cover up his panic in a weak position.
After being made such a fuss by the boy, the depression in his heart was completely wiped out.
"Okay, Xiaobai, no matter what, I'm still your senior brother. Give me face, don't make trouble here, if it gets bigger later, none of us will have a good fruit to eat."
There were also several bigwigs sitting in the room.
His recent workload has been cut in half, and the amount of fan attention is also decreasing. He has to rely on this movie to earn some good name, which is also a huge help in cementing fan loyalty.
He didn't want to be kicked out of the set for disturbing important people in it.
"You're lucky kid." Leaving a vicious look in his eyes, the boy finally left under the pull of his assistants.
"His name is Bai Luo, he is 26 years old, and he has been in this industry for nearly eight years."
"Can't you see that this kid can be 26 years old? That baby face is his advantage. Many of his fans like cute and innocent teenagers. Fortunately, his face has not changed over the years."
The man extended his palm friendly, "My name is Jiang Ye, and I'm here to interview for the role of the third male."
"Ah, hello, my name is Shen Liang'an."
When talking to Jiang Ye, Shen Liang'an felt at ease with his fellow workers.His intuition told him that Jiang Ye was a sincere and friendly person.
"You don't look very old. Is this the first time you've faced this kind of situation, and there's no one from the brokerage company following you?" Jiang Ye asked with concern.
agency?He is not an artist star, how could he be accompanied by an economic company.
Shen Liang'an complained silently, rolling his big eyes around, thinking about how to answer so as not to reveal his secrets.
"Then what about you, why isn't there an assistant following?" He didn't want to lie, he just avoided unanswerable questions.
Choked by the young man's rhetorical question, Jiang Ye smiled wryly, "I've been in the industry for nearly ten years, and I haven't made a name for myself. I was abandoned by the agency long ago."
"Since I haven't made any progress in this industry for so many years, have you considered doing other jobs in the past? I heard that many celebrities now go to live broadcasts to sell goods, and at least they can earn living expenses." Leaning against the wall, Shen Liang'an sincerely Advise each other.
In Shen Liang'an's philosophy, there is no distinction between high and low jobs, as long as they can fill their stomachs and support their families, that's enough.
"No, I can't give up." Jiang Ye smiled wryly, leaning his head against the wall, "Want to hear my story?"
I always feel that Jiang Ye has a unique temperament, and Shen Liang'an is also interested in listening to it.
"I have been in love with acting since I was 15 years old. In fact, I studied well at that time. It was no problem to pass the exam, but I just like acting, and I am not in the mood to concentrate on studying. My family is just an ordinary office worker. I My parents want me to get into a good university, find a local job after graduation, and be stable for the rest of my life.”
"But I'm not reconciled. I used the lucky money my parents saved for more than ten years to apply for the art test training class. After working hard for more than a year, I was admitted to the nationally famous Central Film Festival. I was so happy that I was crazy. I feel that I will be able to play the role I like in the next second."
"My parents were angry with me. They also refused to send me off on the day of the report. I left my hometown alone to study in Yangying. I was fine at school. The teachers always praised me for being serious and hardworking. My grades in the graduation drama every year were also excellent.
"After I came out of school and interviewed the first crew, I realized the cruelty of reality. I am not a child of a rich family, and I have no relevant family background. I interviewed more than 20 crews, and no one would hire one or anything. The young boy who doesn't understand is the protagonist."
"Later, in order to survive, I worked as a group performer for nearly five years. Later, a friend asked me to try shooting an advertisement. It was an advertisement for a big brand. I successfully interviewed. Because of this ad, I got the first batch of fans and signed with the current company.”
"Perhaps I don't quite adapt to the current brokerage company. Over time, the company signed more interesting young artists, and gradually marginalized me, an old waste. Today's interview opportunity is still the information I submitted myself. The manager probably has already left artists like me behind."
Jiang Ye's body has a sense of loneliness that is incompatible with the surrounding environment, sad and full of artistic atmosphere.
"Don't be like this, maybe your chance will come today. Perform well and seize the opportunity." Shen Liang'an patted the man's back lightly, three times, twice lightly and once heavily.
This is Shen Liang'an's habit of comforting others.
At least it's useful for his small group.
"You too." Jiang Ye, who was slapped on the back, widened his eyes and looked suspiciously at the young man from top to bottom.
What is the background of this guy?This is simply not like being able to hang out in the entertainment industry.
Could it be that this is another rich young man who came to the entertainment circle to experience life?
"Haha, brother, did you hear that? These [-]th-line starlets even joined the group to keep warm."
"An old guy in his 30s who hasn't made it to the big screen yet wants to act in a movie directed by Jing. It's interesting. It's so interesting."
Some people in the crowd laughed, and many people looked at them with some disgust and ridicule.
Shen Liang'an looked like a brat with no social experience. Bullying such a newcomer lacked some fun, and most people targeted Jiang Ye.
Where there are more than two people, there is a line, and artists with works look down on older artists with no achievements.
Over the years, Jiang Ye has often received blank stares and ridicule, and he has heard even the worst words.
He chose to ignore it, grabbed the young man's wrist, and was about to walk away from the crowd.
"Hey, sir, do you know what it means to respect others? Today everyone is here to participate in the casting, everyone is equal, how can you humiliate others!"
Jiang Ye's palm was freed.
The young man, who thought he was a well-behaved boy, rushed into the crowd, picked out the man who mocked him the loudest, and reprimanded him without fear.
Jiang Ye knew the man with the earrings.
He is the face of an idol group that only debuted half a year ago. This idol group has maintained its popularity. Not long ago, there was news that this face was in and out of a bar with a pretty woman.
Now the film and television industry is really messed up, and even small idols who are not from majors want to get involved.
Not wanting to see the kid he just met get involved and lose this good opportunity, Jiang Ye stepped forward to persuade, "Forget about Xiao An, someone will come out to issue number plates in a few minutes, and those who make trouble will definitely be punished by work." The personnel were expelled, forget it.”
"Okay, brat, you have to apologize to Jiang Ye, otherwise..." Waving his fists, Shen Liang installed a vicious look on his face.
If I had known, I wouldn't have sent my assistant out to buy him coffee.
Little Star regretted his impulsiveness very much.
But he is famous after all, let him apologize to the losers who have been marginalized by the entertainment industry in front of these dozens of eyes.
Do you want to save his face?
The two stalemate for a long time.
"What's the noise? I can hear your outside voices from inside the room." The young man wearing a crew hat poked his head out of the door.
Shen Liang'an knew him. He was the assistant director Zhang Chao who was in charge of assisting the director.
Whether it is an actor, a star, or a singer, they all need good opportunities to gain the recognition of the audience and gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.
But this time, the well-known director Jing Xuan announced that he would audition for the lead team, which is a rare opportunity.
Those present knew very well that they would benefit a lot from being able to participate in Director Jing's film once, even if they were the third or fourth male.
No one wants to be kicked out of the crew before even entering the interview stage.
The onlookers dispersed one after another, and followed their managers or assistants to the corner.
As soon as the people dispersed, Shen Liang'an, who was holding his collar, became very conspicuous, and Assistant Director Zhang also saw the young man who caused the commotion from a distance.
The young man also happened to glance in the direction of the man. As the assistant director of the theater, the well-informed assistant director Zhang immediately received the young man's meaning.
He straightened his chest and said with a serious face, "That one over there, yes, that's right, it's you, come with me." Pointing to the two people in the middle of the hall.
The little idol, who knew that something had happened, turned pale from fright and retreated into the crowd. Shen Liang'an was delighted at Assistant Director Zhang's intelligence, able to understand him in time, and smiled brightly.
Being paid special attention by the assistant director of the film crew, and still being indifferent, should I say whether this child is innocent or...
Jiang Ye stopped in front of the young man with worried eyes.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Shen Liang'an grinned and patted the man's shoulder, "Prepare well, I have a feeling that you will definitely get what you want today."
Missing the man's shoulder, Shen Liang'an walked into the small interview room in full view.
"Heh, don't be ashamed to say it, hey, when he is kicked out of the theater later, help me secretly take a picture, and let a few marketing accounts of our company write about today's events."
Having just been warned, the little idol didn't dare to be too high-profile, and just whispered in the ear of his assistant.
------
"Mr. Shen, all the documents you need are here."
Director Jing has his own set of standards for selecting actors. He is not only interested in the professional ability of the actors, but his personal life is also one of his considerations.
For everyone who participated in the interview, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find a professional team to do background information investigation.
It's not a problem for Shen Liang'an to get to know anyone.
"Well, sorry to trouble you, put it here."
There were several folders on the desktop, and Shen Liang'an took out the thinnest file among them, and scanned it carefully.
Jiang Ye, 32 years old, has been in the industry for nine years and three months.
The roles he has played are either supporting roles with no lines, or group actors who have no face at all, but every film he has participated in is a good film praised by the majority of the public.
Because he is too transparent in the circle, the information is only a thin page.
The profile of the other person was different.
Zhai Xing, 22 years old, entered the existing economic company for training at the age of 12, and debuted for one year.
His year was much more exciting than Jiang Ye's nine years.
Group concerts, group albums, cover songs, various representative works, participation in variety shows, cooperation with well-known seniors in the circle, and countless activities.
According to the data, this person seems to have a very good relationship with the marketing director of his economic company. They were photographed several times at the same dinner, but Zhai Xing never responded directly to his relationship with the man.
"These two people don't seem to meet Director Jing's standards." Liu Yue casually glanced at the information in the young man's hand, and then had an answer in his heart.
One was over 30 years old, with a gentle temperament, and he didn't look like an athlete at all.
One was too young, his arms and legs were as thin as bamboo poles, soft and weak, and he couldn't even touch the role of an athlete.
"Not necessarily so."
In Jiang Ye, he felt the tenacity of being in trouble and not yielding to fate.
Once such a person is given an opportunity and a platform, this person is bound to use his best abilities, and the strength accumulated over the years will be returned to the role.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu, Director Jing said that it's almost time. If the two of you are ready, then shall we officially begin?"
"Ah."
Director Jing's strictness in selecting actors is well-known in the circle.
Seeing the seniors at the front of the team who were from majors and had classic works all walked out of the gate dejectedly, the candidates who were already nervous were even more at a loss.
Whether it is a proud little idol or a second- and third-tier actor who is doing well in the industry, they are all ordinary people who pray for success in their hearts and worry about being eliminated.
"Hey, tell me, can I be selected? Even those seniors failed, I..."
The little idol Zhai Xing, who had been arrogant and domineering just now, turned pale, and eagerly sought the approval of his assistants.
The little assistant took out a thermos from the bag, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to his own artist, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, didn't the director promise to help you say hello to the leader of the crew."
People in the circle knew about dragging people, looking for connections, and going through the back door, but it was a disgraceful thing after all, and the voice of the little assistant was always kept at the lowest level.
That's right, I didn't come here for the male lead, I'm just a male third with few scenes, and with the director's private operation, it should be easy.
Thinking of the people behind him, Zhai Xing's face softened a little.
"No. 23, Zhai Xing of Juzhou Culture."
His calves were sore from standing, and the assistant director of the crew finally called Zhai Xing.
"Mirror, give me the mirror." Zhai Xing shouted, skillfully putting on a light-colored lipstick for himself.
He is an idol who relies on his face to make his living. His advantage is his delicate face, so he has to pay attention to his image no matter what.
Through the mirror, he saw a few slightly strange sights.
A few losers who came out of the interview room gathered together, unlike the others to leave the set as soon as possible, these people gathered together, sneaking a glance at Zhai Xing behind the crowd.
As soon as Zhai Xing turned his head, several people held their heads up again, talking about their next work as if nothing had happened.
"Are those people watching me all the time?" Zhai Xing still felt strange.
"Okay, okay, you think too much, go in quickly, you can't let the big leader wait too long."
The assistant quickly put the extra things from his artist into the backpack on his chest, and pushed the little idol to the assistant director.
"You are Zhai Xing?"
Zhang Chaoren is tall and burly, with a fierce face when he is not smiling, it is easy to think of the cold killer in the movie.
Zhai Xing was a head shorter than him, looking into the man's eyes from bottom to top, the oppression increased.
"Ah, yes, yes."
He was obviously just an assistant director of the film crew, but he couldn't stand upright under the gaze of the other party.
"Well, come with me, remember, keep quiet."
The man explained to him very seriously, as if through this door, he would see something that made him scream.
But he didn't have the guts to question the cold assistant director, and followed him one meter behind with lowered eyebrows.
The other end of the room is not a place full of big names, nor is it the scene he imagined where a bunch of scary men in black are standing, but it is enough to make Zhai Xing doubt life.
The room surrounded by white walls is very quiet, only the footsteps of the staff walking around and the shutter of the camera, people are concentrating on their work.
Only the few gentlemen sitting in front of the long table were pointing at the paper documents at hand while chatting and laughing with the people around them.
The identities of the people who can sit at that table are not simple. These "successful people" always carry an unattainable and alienated temperament.
except one...
The young man sitting in the middle of the table grinned at him, Zhai Xing could see the hidden meaning behind this seemingly innocent smile.
Following the young man's wagging fingers, Zhai Xing's sight came to the nameplate in front of the table.
Shen Liangan.
It seems... this is the name mentioned by the young man when he introduced himself.
"Ahem, why don't you introduce yourself first, Zhai! Sir! Sir!"
The words of the young man reached Zhai Xing's ears, his whole body became cold, and his soul instantly fell into the most terrifying hell on earth.
"Don't waste time, there are still many actors waiting behind." Liu Yue urged vigorously by patting the table.
According to Zhai Xing's performance, he has already been excluded from the scope of movie role selection.
Director Jing will never allow the actor in his film to be a waste who can't make a big scene.
It's a pity that Zhai Xing, whose inner defense line was completely broken, was unable to analyze the current situation, and his brain was completely rigid.
Later, someone kindly asked him if he could continue the interview, but Zhai Xing kept silent.
In order not to delay the casting, Liu Yue ordered the on-site assistant director to take him out of the room.
In sharp contrast to Zhai Xing's performance, it was Jiang Ye who had also met Shen Liang'an in the waiting room.
He just froze for a while when he entered the door, and soon got into the mood. His performance in the audition was remarkable, and when asked about his career, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
After the whole scene, Jiang Ye left a deep impression on Director Jing.
The audition of these dozens of people actually lasted until early in the morning, and in the second half, Shen Liang'an was dizzy, and his footsteps when he walked out of the crew were also dizzy, like someone who had drunk too much.
"Are we going to have a late-night snack, together?" Liu Yue trotted to the young man energetically.
It is not easy for Shen Liang'an to do a job. For example, Liu Yue beside him, his eyes are red from exhaustion, and he has to keep up his energy to eat and drink with these 'night owls'.
With Ji Chengzhou's habit of going to bed before eleven o'clock every day, Shen Liang'an just wants to go home quickly and lie on his big soft bed.
"I……"
But these directors and screenwriters looked at him expectantly, and Shen Liang'an couldn't refuse.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a tall man in a black suit came out, "Mr. Shen, the boss is still waiting for you to go back."
Liu Yue couldn't be more clear about who the boss the man mentioned was. He didn't dare to rob his boss.
"Liang... Liang'an, if you have something to do, go back first, we just go and have a bite." He took the initiative to stand up and rescue the young man.
After Shen Liang'an got into the car, he finally didn't have to brace himself and slumped on the back seat.
"Go to sleep for a while, and I will wake you up when I get home."
"Mr. Ji specifically told me to wait for you outside the door, Mr. Shen, I have never seen the boss care so much about anyone."
"The boss asked me to tell you that Aunt Zhang has prepared your favorite dish for you..."
Surrounded by the man's deep voice, Shen Liang'an lay on his usual seat, hugging the Jingdong cat pillow that didn't match the low-key and luxurious temperament of the whole car, and fell into a dream.
In the dream, he didn't know what he dreamed of, but the corners of his mouth never drooped.

The author has something to say:
I don't follow stars and I don't know anything about the entertainment industry. The plot may be inconsistent with the reality. It's a parallel world, so don't delve into it.
ps: Two chapters and one chapter today, the next update will be at [-]:[-] on Monday night.
This is a completely unfamiliar situation, and it is different from entering Weiran for the first time.
In Weiran, if he didn’t understand something, he could always go to the president’s office and directly ask his best teacher—Ji Chengzhou. Even if he was a complete novice, Kexin was always at peace.

"If you go to the bathroom, come out quickly. The casting will start in 5 minutes. If you miss it, you don't have to regret it."
The field manager in charge of the outfield shouted outside the bathroom door with a loudspeaker.
Instead, it woke up Shen Liang'an. There was no point in procrastinating. Going back after it started would only make people affirm his unprofessionalism.
Shen Liang'an washed his face with clean water, and walked out of the bathroom after the drops of water on his face dried up.
Many extraordinary-looking entertainers had already gathered outside the door. Some of them were holding scripts and standing by themselves, while some were accompanied by two or three assistants.
Shen Liang'an walked from the bathroom to the small room for the interview. He was about to unlock the door when his wrist was slammed down.
"The interview hasn't started yet. If you go in and disturb the director and the others, then your visit today will be in vain." Shen Liang'an was stopped by a well-proportioned man with a cropped head.

"Can't you see that this kid can be 26 years old? That baby face is his advantage. Many of his fans like cute and innocent teenagers. Fortunately, his face has not changed over the years."
The man extended his palm friendly, "My name is Jiang Ye, and I'm here to interview for the role of the third male."
"Ah, hello, my name is Shen Liang'an."
When talking to Jiang Ye, Shen Liang'an felt at ease with his fellow workers.His intuition told him that Jiang Ye was a sincere and friendly person.
"You don't look very old. Is this the first time you've faced this kind of situation, and there's no one from the brokerage company following you?" Jiang Ye asked with concern.

This is Shen Liang'an's habit of comforting others.

"An old guy in his 30s who hasn't made it to the big screen yet wants to act in a movie directed by Jing. It's interesting. It's so interesting."

The young man, who thought he was a well-behaved boy, rushed into the crowd, picked out the man who mocked him the loudest, and reprimanded him without fear.
Jiang Ye knew the man with the earrings.
He is the face of an idol group that only debuted half a year ago. This idol group has maintained its popularity. Not long ago, there was news that this face was in and out of a bar with a pretty woman.
Now the film and television industry is really messed up, and even small idols who are not from majors want to get involved.
Not wanting to see the kid he just met get involved and lose this good opportunity, Jiang Ye stepped forward to persuade, "Forget about Xiao An, someone will come out to issue number plates in a few minutes, and those who make trouble will definitely be punished by work." The personnel were expelled, forget it.”
"Okay, brat, you have to apologize to Jiang Ye, otherwise..." Waving his fists, Shen Liang installed a vicious look on his face.
If I had known, I wouldn't have sent my assistant out to buy him coffee.
Little Star regretted his impulsiveness very much.
But he is famous after all, let him apologize to the losers who have been marginalized by the entertainment industry in front of these dozens of eyes.
Do you want to save his face?
The two stalemate for a long time.
"What's the noise? I can hear your outside voices from inside the room." The young man wearing a crew hat poked his head out of the door.
Shen Liang'an knew him. He was the assistant director Zhang Chao who was in charge of assisting the director.
Whether it is an actor, a star, or a singer, they all need good opportunities to gain the recognition of the audience and gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.
But this time, the well-known director Jing Xuan announced that he would audition for the lead team, which is a rare opportunity.
Those present knew very well that they would benefit a lot from being able to participate in Director Jing's film once, even if they were the third or fourth male.
No one wants to be kicked out of the crew before even entering the interview stage.
The onlookers dispersed one after another, and followed their managers or assistants to the corner.
As soon as the people dispersed, Shen Liang'an, who was holding his collar, became very conspicuous, and Assistant Director Zhang also saw the young man who caused the commotion from a distance.
The young man also happened to glance in the direction of the man. As the assistant director of the theater, the well-informed assistant director Zhang immediately received the young man's meaning.
He straightened his chest and said with a serious face, "That one over there, yes, that's right, it's you, come with me." Pointing to the two people in the middle of the hall.
The little idol, who knew that something had happened, turned pale from fright and retreated into the crowd. Shen Liang'an was delighted at Assistant Director Zhang's intelligence, able to understand him in time, and smiled brightly.
Being paid special attention by the assistant director of the film crew, and still being indifferent, should I say whether this child is innocent or...
Jiang Ye stopped in front of the young man with worried eyes.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Shen Liang'an grinned and patted the man's shoulder, "Prepare well, I have a feeling that you will definitely get what you want today."
Missing the man's shoulder, Shen Liang'an walked into the small interview room in full view.
"Heh, don't be ashamed to say it, hey, when he is kicked out of the theater later, help me secretly take a picture, and let a few marketing accounts of our company write about today's events."
Having just been warned, the little idol didn't dare to be too high-profile, and just whispered in the ear of his assistant.
------
"Mr. Shen, all the documents you need are here."
Director Jing has his own set of standards for selecting actors. He is not only interested in the professional ability of the actors, but his personal life is also one of his considerations.
For everyone who participated in the interview, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find a professional team to do background information investigation.
It's not a problem for Shen Liang'an to get to know anyone.
"Well, sorry to trouble you, put it here."
There were several folders on the desktop, and Shen Liang'an took out the thinnest file among them, and scanned it carefully.
Jiang Ye, 32 years old, has been in the industry for nine years and three months.
The roles he has played are either supporting roles with no lines, or group actors who have no face at all, but every film he has participated in is a good film praised by the majority of the public.
Because he is too transparent in the circle, the information is only a thin page.
The profile of the other person was different.
Zhai Xing, 22 years old, entered the existing economic company for training at the age of 12, and debuted for one year.
His year was much more exciting than Jiang Ye's nine years.
Group concerts, group albums, cover songs, various representative works, participation in variety shows, cooperation with well-known seniors in the circle, and countless activities.
According to the data, this person seems to have a very good relationship with the marketing director of his economic company. They were photographed several times at the same dinner, but Zhai Xing never responded directly to his relationship with the man.
"These two people don't seem to meet Director Jing's standards." Liu Yue casually glanced at the information in the young man's hand, and then had an answer in his heart.
One was over 30 years old, with a gentle temperament, and he didn't look like an athlete at all.
One was too young, his arms and legs were as thin as bamboo poles, soft and weak, and he couldn't even touch the role of an athlete.
"Not necessarily so."
In Jiang Ye, he felt the tenacity of being in trouble and not yielding to fate.
Once such a person is given an opportunity and a platform, this person is bound to use his best abilities, and the strength accumulated over the years will be returned to the role.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu, Director Jing said that it's almost time. If the two of you are ready, then shall we officially begin?"
"Ah."
Director Jing's strictness in selecting actors is well-known in the circle.
Seeing the seniors at the front of the team who were from majors and had classic works all walked out of the gate dejectedly, the candidates who were already nervous were even more at a loss.
Whether it is a proud little idol or a second- and third-tier actor who is doing well in the industry, they are all ordinary people who pray for success in their hearts and worry about being eliminated.
"Hey, tell me, can I be selected? Even those seniors failed, I..."
The little idol Zhai Xing, who had been arrogant and domineering just now, turned pale, and eagerly sought the approval of his assistants.
The little assistant took out a thermos from the bag, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to his own artist, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, didn't the director promise to help you say hello to the leader of the crew."
People in the circle knew about dragging people, looking for connections, and going through the back door, but it was a disgraceful thing after all, and the voice of the little assistant was always kept at the lowest level.
That's right, I didn't come here for the male lead, I'm just a male third with few scenes, and with the director's private operation, it should be easy.
Thinking of the people behind him, Zhai Xing's face softened a little.
"No. 23, Zhai Xing of Juzhou Culture."
His calves were sore from standing, and the assistant director of the crew finally called Zhai Xing.
"Mirror, give me the mirror." Zhai Xing shouted, skillfully putting on a light-colored lipstick for himself.
He is an idol who relies on his face to make his living. His advantage is his delicate face, so he has to pay attention to his image no matter what.
Through the mirror, he saw a few slightly strange sights.
A few losers who came out of the interview room gathered together, unlike the others to leave the set as soon as possible, these people gathered together, sneaking a glance at Zhai Xing behind the crowd.
As soon as Zhai Xing turned his head, several people held their heads up again, talking about their next work as if nothing had happened.
"Are those people watching me all the time?" Zhai Xing still felt strange.
"Okay, okay, you think too much, go in quickly, you can't let the big leader wait too long."
The assistant quickly put the extra things from his artist into the backpack on his chest, and pushed the little idol to the assistant director.
"You are Zhai Xing?"
Zhang Chaoren is tall and burly, with a fierce face when he is not smiling, it is easy to think of the cold killer in the movie.
Zhai Xing was a head shorter than him, looking into the man's eyes from bottom to top, the oppression increased.
"Ah, yes, yes."
He was obviously just an assistant director of the film crew, but he couldn't stand upright under the gaze of the other party.
"Well, come with me, remember, keep quiet."
The man explained to him very seriously, as if through this door, he would see something that made him scream.
But he didn't have the guts to question the cold assistant director, and followed him one meter behind with lowered eyebrows.
The other end of the room is not a place full of big names, nor is it the scene he imagined where a bunch of scary men in black are standing, but it is enough to make Zhai Xing doubt life.
The room surrounded by white walls is very quiet, only the footsteps of the staff walking around and the shutter of the camera, people are concentrating on their work.
Only the few gentlemen sitting in front of the long table were pointing at the paper documents at hand while chatting and laughing with the people around them.
The identities of the people who can sit at that table are not simple. These "successful people" always carry an unattainable and alienated temperament.
except one...
The young man sitting in the middle of the table grinned at him, Zhai Xing could see the hidden meaning behind this seemingly innocent smile.
Following the young man's wagging fingers, Zhai Xing's sight came to the nameplate in front of the table.
Shen Liangan.
It seems... this is the name mentioned by the young man when he introduced himself.
"Ahem, why don't you introduce yourself first, Zhai! Sir! Sir!"
The words of the young man reached Zhai Xing's ears, his whole body became cold, and his soul instantly fell into the most terrifying hell on earth.
"Don't waste time, there are still many actors waiting behind." Liu Yue urged vigorously by patting the table.
According to Zhai Xing's performance, he has already been excluded from the scope of movie role selection.
Director Jing will never allow the actor in his film to be a waste who can't make a big scene.
It's a pity that Zhai Xing, whose inner defense line was completely broken, was unable to analyze the current situation, and his brain was completely rigid.
Later, someone kindly asked him if he could continue the interview, but Zhai Xing kept silent.
In order not to delay the casting, Liu Yue ordered the on-site assistant director to take him out of the room.
In sharp contrast to Zhai Xing's performance, it was Jiang Ye who had also met Shen Liang'an in the waiting room.
He just froze for a while when he entered the door, and soon got into the mood. His performance in the audition was remarkable, and when asked about his career, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
After the whole scene, Jiang Ye left a deep impression on Director Jing.
The audition of these dozens of people actually lasted until early in the morning, and in the second half, Shen Liang'an was dizzy, and his footsteps when he walked out of the crew were also dizzy, like someone who had drunk too much.
"Are we going to have a late-night snack, together?" Liu Yue trotted to the young man energetically.
It is not easy for Shen Liang'an to do a job. For example, Liu Yue beside him, his eyes are red from exhaustion, and he has to keep up his energy to eat and drink with these 'night owls'.
With Ji Chengzhou's habit of going to bed before eleven o'clock every day, Shen Liang'an just wants to go home quickly and lie on his big soft bed.
"I……"
But these directors and screenwriters looked at him expectantly, and Shen Liang'an couldn't refuse.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a tall man in a black suit came out, "Mr. Shen, the boss is still waiting for you to go back."
Liu Yue couldn't be more clear about who the boss the man mentioned was. He didn't dare to rob his boss.
"Liang... Liang'an, if you have something to do, go back first, we just go and have a bite." He took the initiative to stand up and rescue the young man.
After Shen Liang'an got into the car, he finally didn't have to brace himself and slumped on the back seat.
"Go to sleep for a while, and I will wake you up when I get home."
"Mr. Ji specifically told me to wait for you outside the door, Mr. Shen, I have never seen the boss care so much about anyone."
"The boss asked me to tell you that Aunt Zhang has prepared your favorite dish for you..."
Surrounded by the man's deep voice, Shen Liang'an lay on his usual seat, hugging the Jingdong cat pillow that didn't match the low-key and luxurious temperament of the whole car, and fell into a dream.
In the dream, he didn't know what he dreamed of, but the corners of his mouth never drooped.

The author has something to say:
I don't follow stars and I don't know anything about the entertainment industry. The plot may be inconsistent with the reality. It's a parallel world, so don't delve into it.
