Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 381 Producer? ! ! !

"It's Chen Duling!"

"Why is she here? Is she here to audition for the female lead as well?"

"No way, I feel like she doesn't fit Cheng Shaoshang's image!"

"She's already the heroine of a movie with a box office of 26 billion, and she's coming here to snatch opportunities from the likes of us! Really!"

"Why do I feel that she looks more beautiful than before?"

"Tsk tsk, they say fame brings good fortune, and now she looks different as the heroine of a movie with a box office of 26 billion."

"I'm just curious, if she wants to compete for the female lead, does Zhao Lusi still have a chance?"

"There's a good show to watch."

In the corridor, discussions were heard one after another. Although the voices were deliberately kept low, they still sounded noisy when gathered together.

These few words floated into Zhao Lusi's ears, making her already stiff expression even more unnatural.

Chen Duling glanced at the scene in the corridor and frowned slightly.

It's really noisy.

She also pretended to stop and walked straight to the door of the audition room.

"Ruth, long time no see, good luck in the audition."

When she was about to enter the audition room, Chen Duling spotted Zhao Lusi standing next to her, so she stopped and cheered her up.

"Ah? Oh, thank you, Sister Duling."

Zhao Lusi suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Chen Duling who was smiling gently in front of her, and responded hurriedly.

"Don't be too nervous, just play your best."

Chen Duling curved her eyebrows and smiled faintly at her, then raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

"Yes, I'll adjust it as soon as possible."

Zhao Lusi's arms hung in front of her, her palms clenched tightly together. She forced a smile and answered obediently.

"Well, I'll go in first, see you later."

Chen Duling saw her panic and had a rough idea in her mind, so she smiled faintly and nodded towards the audition room.

"Oh, okay, Sister Duling, please go first."

Zhao Lusi bowed slightly and said with a forced smile.

"it is good."

The corners of Chen Duling's lips curled up slightly, and then she turned and walked away.

"Whoo~"

After seeing Chen Duling walk into the audition room, Zhao Lusi's shoulders slumped and she let out a deep breath.

Inexplicably nervous!
She thought she would be able to stand up straight and deal with it calmly when she saw Chen Duling again, but for some reason, when she really faced her, she inexplicably lost her confidence.

Eh? Something seems wrong!

How come she went straight in! ?
Zhao Lusi reacted suddenly, turned her head to look in the direction of the audition room, her eyes wide open.

Not only her, but many auditioning actors in the corridor were also a little confused.

What's happening here?
The time hasn't even come yet, and you're going straight in for the audition?

Even if you have been chosen, you are too reckless!

Especially the actresses. Zhao Lusi alone already made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Now, here comes Chen Duling who is even more excessive than Zhao Lusi. So they just stop pretending?
The actresses who were preparing to audition for the female lead role secretly complained in their hearts, their eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Connections, bah!
But I’m really envious!

Everyone hates people with connections, and everyone wants to be one.

Zhao Lusi felt like she was in heaven the last second, and fell straight back to hell the next second.

But since Lin Li has already promised that she will be the heroine of Xinghan.

It shouldn’t be!

Zhao Lusi sat back in her seat silently, feeling that her mind was now a mess.

Chen Duling is already the leading lady of a movie with a box office of 26 billion yuan, so there is no need to compete with her for the leading lady of Xinghan, right?

And when Lin Li was with her yesterday, he didn't mention changing her role. What was going on?
Could it be that Chen Duling suddenly wanted to be the female lead in Xinghan today, and then Lin Li agreed?

Zhao Lusi felt that if it was someone else, Lin Li would not agree, but if it was Chen Duling...

It doesn’t seem impossible!

Zhao Lusi sat in her seat anxiously, hugging her knees tightly, her face changing from gloomy to happy and her mood complicated.

She wouldn't be... replaced temporarily, right?

In the audition room.

After Chen Duling walked in and took a quick look around, she found that the room was about the size of a classroom, with a camera and an LCD screen next to it.

The audition footage will also be broadcast here in a while, allowing the audition team to see the performance from two different angles: live and in front of the camera.

The members of the audition team sat in two rows, front and back, with a long table in front of them, on which were placed the auditioners' information and short script excerpts, which would be used for the auditioning actors to perform the excerpts.

"Hey, Producer Chen is here, please take a seat here."

Chen Chao, who was chatting with Lin Yufen, saw Chen Duling out of the corner of his eye and greeted her warmly.

Chen Duling curled the corner of her mouth slightly and walked towards him.

"Mr. Chen, your way of greeting is a little too conspicuous."

Walking closer, Chen Duling smiled and joked with him.

"Isn't this a sign of respect for our producer Chen?"

"By the way, let me introduce you to everyone. I believe everyone knows this beautiful lady in front of me. Yes, she is Chen Duling, the heroine of our film "The Lost Tomb" which grossed 26 billion yuan at the box office."

"Of course, she has a new identity today. Ms. Chen will join our audition team as the producer of our Star Han Canlan. She will also represent our production team and President Xu who is far away in Shanghai and can't make it back to participate in our auditions in the next few days."

Chen Chao first greeted Chen Duling familiarly, then turned around and introduced Chen Duling's new identity to the audition team members in front of him.

"Hello everyone, I am actor Chen Duling, and also a new producer. Please take care of me and give me your advice."

Chen Duling bowed and greeted everyone in front of him, then stood up and spoke in a generous manner.

"Hello, Producer Chen. Please take care of me in the future."

Lin Yufen smiled brightly and responded first.

"Haha... I didn't expect that Producer Chen is not only a good actor, but also a producer. He is truly an all-rounder! Awesome! I hope I can have the opportunity to work with Producer Chen more in the future."

The man who was talking was about 30 or 40 years old, wearing a black suit, with a slicked-back hair and a pair of triangular eyes that made him look particularly wretched. Chen Duling pursed the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, kept smiling, and nodded to indicate that he had received it.

"This is Mr. Wei Jin from Huayi. Producer Chen, please take a seat first."

A trace of disgust flashed across Chen Chao's eyes. He disliked Wei Jin from the first moment he met him. He had a mean look and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.

If we weren't cooperating with Huayi now, we would have given him the cold shoulder long ago.

"it is good."

Chen Duling smiled politely at the others and then sat next to Chen Chao.

As the director, Lin Yufen sat in the center of the first row, Chen Chao sat on her right, and Chen Duling sat on Chen Chao's right.

On the table in front of her, a horizontal nameplate stood there, with "Producer" written on it.

Now, she is producer Chen Duling.

There are two rows of nine seats for the audition team. There are eighteen people in the entire audition team, and they are all here now.

"Is Producer Chen nervous?"

Chen Chao looked at Chen Duling beside him and teased.

"Shouldn't the actors who are waiting be the ones who are nervous?"

Chen Duling shrugged and smiled peacefully.

"Your movements are so similar to someone else's. So when two people are together for a long time, they will really influence each other. Tsk tsk tsk."

Chen Chao looked at Chen Duling's actions and smacked his lips in admiration.

"Have it?"

Chen Duling naturally knew who Chen Chao was talking about, and asked curiously.

"Of course, the tone, expression and movements are so similar. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you can grasp him so well."

Chen Chao had a gloating expression on his face.

"No way, how did I control him?"

Chen Duling felt that she was wronged and denied it flatly.

"Dudu, you don't understand. He treats other people differently than he treats you."

"For example, this bastard sent me here for an audition today, and pretended to be a model student in school!"

"And the reason is that you told him not to skip classes and study hard, and I can't refute it!"

"So I don't have to study hard?"

Chen Chao looked at her with resentment and cursed.

"Oh, I think I said that."

Chen Duling smiled, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

"You...sigh~"

Seeing this, Chen Chao wanted to say something but stopped, and finally let out a long sigh.

He found that he couldn't win the argument with either Lin Li or Chen Duling, and it was really hard for him to remain calm.

Lin Yufen and others present at the scene saw Chen Chao and Chen Duling chatting in low voices in a familiar manner, and with Chen Duling's sudden new identity as a producer, they all understood a little more.

It seems that I have to be polite to this person from now on. Who knows, maybe this person is the future hostess of Nanxun Culture?

Seeing that everyone was seated, Chen Chao, as the host, nodded to the staff beside him: "Let's get ready. The audition will start in ten minutes."

These ten minutes are for the actors to clear their minds and get into the performance state.

After the staff left, Lin Yufen sat behind the table and looked through the actor information of today's auditionees.

Looking at the pictures one by one, ten minutes passed in a flash.

Chen Chao asked politely: "Director Lin, shall we start?"

"Ah."

Following Lin Yufen's response, Chen Chao nodded to the staff.

After about a minute, the door opened and a girl with a round face and long hair walked in.

She looked quite nervous, especially when she saw the large crowds of people in front and behind her. She swallowed unconsciously.

After walking stiffly to the place where the cross tape was on the ground, she looked with some surprise at all the examiners, including Chen Duling, who were facing her with silence and scrutiny, and bowed deeply.

"Hello, Director Lin, and hello to all the audition teachers. I am Su Xiaotong, I am 20 years old, and I am studying in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy."

"I am 166cm tall and weigh 44kg. I am auditioning for the role of Cheng Shaoshang in this film."

……

As soon as she said this, she was almost sentenced to death.

Because everyone knows that Cheng Shaoshang was left for Zhao Lusi.

However, the people present were all veterans, so it was natural that they would not show anything unusual on the surface.

After hearing her self-introduction, Chen Chao nodded to one of the two production managers who were in charge of taking over the show today.

One of the stage managers said, "Now please act out Cheng Shaoshang's confession of love to Ling Buyi. Here is the script. You have three minutes to prepare."

After saying that, he handed over a piece of paper in his hand, and Su Xiaotong quickly took it.

Three minutes passed in a flash and the show began.

In the corridor, many actors only saw the actors who were auditioning coming in and out like a cursory visit, with extremely high efficiency.

After a while, Yuan Bingyan, who was number seven, walked out with a dejected look on her face. They knew that this person probably had no hope.

"Next, number eight, Ms. Zhao Ruth, please enter the audition."

The staff shouted at the door.

"coming!"

Zhao Lusi, who had been in a state of confusion, didn't pay any attention to the previous situation. She stood up, replied, took a deep breath, and walked in.

At this point, she could only choose to trust Lin Li!

"Hello, Director Lin, hello, examiners. I am Zhao Rusi, an actress from Galaxy Cool Entertainment."

After Zhao Lusi entered the room, she first bowed in the direction of Lin Yufen, then stood up and introduced herself with a sweet smile.

But when her eyes fell on the face with a graceful smile not far in front of her, her expression suddenly froze.

Why is she sitting there!?
When he lowered his eyes, he saw a horizontal nameplate in front of her desk with the dazzling words "Producer" written on it, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Producer?
She is Xinghan's producer?!
