Chapter 16 Audition
Chapter 16 Audition
Ling Xia arrived at the underground parking lot, found her car, and got in.
"Sister Zhao, you have no idea I almost fell for the unspoken rules of the industry. I met a really disgusting person," Ling Xia said excitedly, tugging at Sister Zhao's sleeve.
Sister Zhao put down what she was doing and looked at Ling Xia anxiously, "Are you alright? How are you? Are you hurt? It was that ungrateful person who bullied me."
"He was a disgusting, fat-headed Pigsy (from Journey to the West). Luckily, I almost got groped. A mysterious man saved me."
“The Huating Hotel has a lot of powerful backing, and ordinary people won’t cause trouble for you. I should have gone with Tian Tian. That way, there wouldn’t have been any danger. It was my oversight. It won’t happen again.” After saying that, Sister Zhao hugged Ling Xia’s trembling body, trying to warm her somewhat cold heart and soul.
Tian Tian sent Ling Xia out to buy local specialties so they could eat back at the hotel.
Ling Xia leaned on Sister Zhao's shoulder to calm herself. She should practice martial arts so that she wouldn't be in a passive position if she encountered any unspoken rules.
However, the man who saved her was very handsome. If you said he was a popular celebrity, you would believe it. After all, fans are very fond of good looks. But when Ling Xia searched her memory for celebrities, she couldn't find this person.
Judging from what Sister Zhao said, Huating Hotel has a powerful background. He shouldn't be bullied, right?
And then there's that scoundrel Tong Yaya. She's always behind things. I shouldn't be so lazy. I have to suppress her, otherwise I won't be able to vent my anger.
Sister Zhao patted Lingxia's shoulder gently, and felt very gratified to see Lingxia's appearance change from haggard to full of fighting spirit.
Since Lingxia injured her head, she has been in a very lazy state, lacking motivation in both work and life.
After this unexpected incident, Xia survived, which can be considered a glimmer of hope after a dark period.
The company has been acquired by Xingyao Entertainment, a branch of the Lin Group. They just issued a notice asking agents to accompany artists to meet the boss in three days. Of course, not everyone is included.
Only those with substantial work, excellent acting skills, or high popularity will be noticed by bosses.
Xia's popularity has remained high throughout this period, and if she performs well, her contract should be upgraded, and she should receive a lot of resources.
With a big tree (Lin's family) behind him, he felt good to have shade. He patted Lingxia's head and thought to himself, "You have to work harder."
……
Today is the first day of the auditions for the TV series "Strategies of the Warring States". There are a total of 2 days for the auditions.
On the first day, we interviewed the main supporting actors; on the second day, we interviewed the minor supporting actors.
The production team of "Strategies of the Warring States" generously booked an entire hotel room specifically for auditioning actors.
Multiple interview venues were conducting interviews simultaneously. This is because auditions can be conducted by invitation or in person.
An invitation means that the director team has seen some of your previous film and television clips and thinks that your image is very similar to a certain character in the play, so they send you an invitation to audition.
On-site interviews are limited to those who can only provide background actors or those with special skills.
When Lingxia received the invitation to audition, Sister Zhao made it clear that she must arrive early on the day of the audition, and she arrived at the audition venue 3 hours in advance.
But I was still shocked by the sheer number of people at the audition. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it really was a sea of people!"
The line of people waiting for on-site interviews was hundreds of meters long.
Because there were so many people auditioning, and the fans of the celebrities knew that their idols were also going to audition, they had to make a big show of it.
Fans from each group wore matching outfits and held flags and glow sticks, just like they were participating in a school sports meet.
Traffic police are already on site organizing order to prevent conflict.
Ling Xia's car couldn't drive in because of traffic restrictions, so she had to walk to the audition venue. As she walked, she saw many familiar faces in front of the TV and couldn't help but praise that "The Strategies of the Warring States" was indeed the hottest IP today.
The *Strategies of the Warring States* tells the story of the Northern Song Dynasty, a time of warring states, with the powerful states of Zhou, Wei, and Zhuang. Zhuang and Zhou secretly conspired to poison Wei at Luding, leading to Wei's downfall and the disappearance of its young crown prince. Twenty years later, a man named Ji Han arrives in Zhuang. Handsome, talented, and highly skilled in martial arts, he is known in the martial arts world as "Young Master Xiao," meaning "Knowing Everything." With the crown prince of Zhuang about to ascend the throne, various factions vie for his favor, sparking conflict.
Besides the captivating storyline, the director and cast are also exceptionally strong. The director is known to be the renowned Cheng Wanli, who has directed numerous historical dramas and won both the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards for Best Director, demonstrating his exceptional skill in filming period dramas.
The male lead has been confirmed as Lu Bowen, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner. Lu Bowen, 32, is the youngest actor in the entertainment industry to have won all three awards. He won a Best Newcomer Award at the age of 11, and since then, his performances, whether as a young emperor or a street thug, have been exceptionally outstanding. He excels in both television dramas and films. His fans are spread all over the world, and in terms of both box office appeal and acting skills, Lu Bowen is considered one of the top actors on Earth.
As a top actor, Lu Bowen hasn't filmed a TV series in a long time, and at most he only makes two movies or one TV series a year.
Lu Bowen now focuses more on script quality and doesn't care much about his salary. However, he remains the highest-paid male actor, a true legend.
