Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 124 The dust has settled
Zhang Jingyi tidied herself up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the front desk of Nanxun Culture.

"Hello, I'm the actor here for audition today. Could you please tell me where I should go to wait?"

Walking closer, Zhang Jingyi looked at the two good-looking staff members at the front desk and asked politely.

One of the staff members looked at her and replied with a smile: "Hello, you go through the public office area from here, then turn left and walk a little inside, you will see the meeting room. There are sofa seats we have prepared in advance, just wait there."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, you should."

After nodding and thanking her, Zhang Jingyi turned around, walked around the front desk, and walked towards the office area.

Today, Zhang Jingyi is wearing a polka-dot dress with black as the main color and a pair of black leather shoes, exuding a ladylike style.

When passing by the public office area, the surrounding staff subconsciously turned their eyes over and saluted the strange girl.

"Who is this actress? I've never heard of her before."

This is what many staff members think.

They naturally knew that many actors would come to the company today for the second round of auditions, but many people didn't know much about Zhang Jingyi, a relatively unfamiliar face.

But Zhang Jingyi felt that everyone seemed very busy.

Although she could feel many eyes looking at her, the work in their hands did not stop at all, and the scene was full of bustling activity.

Looking around at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that allow direct views of the outside world, I feel that the office environment of Nanxun Culture is a little too good.

This was a scene she had only seen in TV dramas before, and she also liked the decoration style of Nanxun Culture very much. The simple and elegant style made people feel particularly comfortable.

I walked through the public office area and turned left towards the meeting room. Soon I saw several people waiting in the corridor outside the meeting room.

With the arrival of Zhang Jingyi, these people turned around and looked at her.

The male actor basically looked away after taking a look, after all, there was no threat to him.

The actresses narrowed their eyes and began to observe Zhang Jingyi carefully.

Everyone had read the original novel, and when they saw Zhang Jingyi's appearance, they all felt a sudden shock in their hearts and felt a little threatened.

Zhang Yaqin sat on the sofa next to the corridor, thinking silently: "Fortunately, I auditioned for the second female lead. Not to mention Zhang Xueying, even this new girl seems to be more compatible with the female lead than she is."

Zhang Xueying and Zhao Jiamin looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

This girl is threatening.

Only Zhang Zifeng looked at Zhang Jingyi with curiosity, and walked closer to her: "You are the top freshman in Beijing Film Academy mentioned on the Internet, right? I feel that your image is very similar to An Ran."

Zhang Jingyi was a little nervous at first, and when she saw Zhang Zifeng, a child star who became famous at a young age, suddenly come over to talk to her, she was a little flustered and spoke hesitantly.

"Thank you. I'm Zhang Jingyi, a freshman in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy in 17."

"I saw a lot of people talking about you online. I finally got to meet you today. You are so beautiful."

"No, you are beautiful too."

……

Zhang Zifeng seemed very interested in her. He took her hand, sat down on the sofa, and started chatting with her.

Zhang Jingyi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This way she wouldn't be too embarrassed to be alone. As they chatted, she became less nervous.

As time passed, at almost half past nine, the audition team headed by Zhao Qian came over chatting and laughing. Seeing this, all the actors in the corridor stood up and greeted them.

"Hello Director Zhao, Hello Director Wei, Hello all the teachers."

"Hello, Director Zhao, and hello, teachers."

……

Zhang Jingyi and the other person were no exception and stood up to join the group of people greeting.

Zhao Qian and others also responded politely. Wei Shujun, who was accompanying them, stopped Zhang Xueying, who was about to sit down after greeting her, and told her to let her go in for the audition first.

Zhang Xueying had a face full of questions, but she still honestly acknowledged the request and followed Wei Shujun into the meeting room.

She probably didn't expect that it was just because Wei Shujun wanted to prove that his choice was not wrong, so he couldn't wait for Zhang Xueying to perform in front of others.

As Zhang Xueying was called in, everyone stopped chatting and began to adjust their state and prepare for the next audition.

Eddie Peng was also sitting in the corner this time, and his mentality was the most relaxed.

One reason is that he has already decided on the male lead, and the other is that Zhao Qian and the others are basically old acquaintances of the Tragedy crew, so he is not panicked at all.

So he began to take time to observe other people.

Wang Junkai? No, no, this face is too serious and does not fit the humorous atmosphere of Fengquan.

Zhang Youhao, it seems like he was auditioning for the supporting role of Mi Ge, and he seems to fit the character somewhat, not bad.

This girl, Zhang Jingyi? Oh, she's pretty, and she matches An Ran's temperament very well.

……

Basically, those who can make it here are either those with good acting skills or those whose image fits the role. After screening, there are only more than ten people auditioning.

When Lin Li arrived at the company, the audition was in progress, so he did not go, but returned to his office and continued to write the script of Feng Quan.

When Gao Wen came to inform him that the audition was over, he looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock.

He knew that Zhao Qian and others would not directly tell the actors the results after the second audition, so he invited the auditioning actors to have a meal together.

After all, they are the darlings of various platforms and three major universities. After taking a tour around, it’s time to show some appreciation.

They did so badly in the round of auditions the day before yesterday, and all the major platforms said that they would give preferential treatment to the artists they promoted, so they still have to give them some face.

"Sister Wen, have you booked a place to eat?"

"It has already been booked, Mr. Lin."

"Well, let's go meet these young actors."

Lin Li smiled, stood up from his seat, and walked out. Outside the meeting room, Zhao Qian was chatting with a group of actors and told them that they would be notified of the final audition results within 24 hours and asked them to wait patiently for the results.

A group of people surrounded Zhao Qian, and as they walked out, they chatted with him with smiles on their faces.

Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng stayed at the back of the crowd, whispering to each other.

"Jingyi, how was your performance just now? I think I might be eliminated. Director Zhao's expression is obviously not right."

"I'm OK. I think my performance was pretty complete."

"Is that also the dancing scene you're performing?"

"Yes."

"Alas, I was a little reluctant. But to be honest, I was mentally prepared for not being selected. But I didn't see Nanda from the beginning to the end, I was so unwilling. Jingyi, do you like Nanda?"

"Oh, I like it."

"I guessed that you must like Nan Da. After all, there are few people of our age who don't admire him. Let me tell you, I watched the speech video of him at the Beijing Film Academy at the beginning of the month dozens of times. He was so handsome! By the way, Jingyi, you should have been there that day. What do you think? Isn't Nan Da even more handsome in person?"

"Well, he's very handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah, I think Nan Da's temperament is so elegant and free and easy, so cool. It's a pity that I didn't get to see him this time."

"He may be in class. There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

"Alas, I wonder when I will have the opportunity to cooperate with Nanda?"

……

As they walked, they suddenly found that the large group in front of them stopped, and they all looked up curiously.

At this time, they had walked to the middle aisle of the public office area, and saw staff on both sides nodding and greeting each other in the same direction.

"Hello, Mr. Lin"

In front of them, Zhao Qian and others who were originally talking and laughing also stopped, nodded and greeted the people ahead.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

All the actors bowed and greeted respectfully.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun."

……

Greetings came one after another. As the person in front bent down, Zhang Jingyi and the other person in the back saw Lin Li and the other person walking towards them.

Today, Lin Li was wearing a slightly formal white casual shirt, black cropped pants and black leather shoes, with an elegant smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like an elite.

Gao Wen, however, was dressed in her usual serious professional attire and followed Lin Li with an expressionless face.

"Hello, Jingyi."

Zhang Zifeng was the first to react and quickly touched Zhang Jingyi's arm to remind her.

Zhang Jingyi finally reacted and bent over to greet Zhang Zifeng.

Lin Li glanced at Zhang Jingyi, then waved to the crowd with a warm smile on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhao has finished all the auditions, right?"

Zhao Qian nodded and responded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Lin, it's all over. We just need to discuss a final result based on everyone's performance."

Hearing this, Lin Li looked around at the actors present and spoke with a smile.

"In that case, I have someone book a place, and it's time for lunch. If you don't have anything urgent, how about having lunch together at noon?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if something happens, it's not as big a deal as having dinner with Teacher Nanxun."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Nanxun, you are my idol."

"I will follow Teacher Nanxun's arrangements."

……

Everyone agreed.

Are you kidding? Nan Xun invites you to dinner. Unless you are a fool, who would refuse?

This is something that many actors in the industry envy!

"Okay, in that case, I have arranged a vehicle. Let's go downstairs and set off together."

"Okay Director Lin."

"Okay, Teacher Nanxun."

"Please come in, Mr. Lin."

……

The group of people changed from surrounding Zhao Qian to surrounding Lin Li, and walked out in a mighty manner.

In just a few minutes, the reality of the circle was vividly displayed.

Of course, Zhao Qian didn't feel any discomfort.

Everything he has was given by Lin Li. He has not yet reached the point where he cannot distinguish between the big and small kings.

Zhao Qian suddenly thought of something, turned his head to glance at the young-looking girl not far behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What a lucky girl!"

From the likes of this character card, we can see that those who like Dudu are far ahead. The silent majority like the female protagonist with academic arrogance?
