Inferior females become internet sensations across the entire galaxy

Chapter 189 Changing Teams

Seeing Deng Zimo's repeated entanglements, Thompson also became somewhat impatient.

"Excuse me, please leave."

In that instant, all the persistent light in Deng Ziming's eyes went out. He knew that there was no point in continuing to pester him.

He could only bow sadly and leave.

As a pure human being, this wasn't the first time he'd been turned away.

But this was the first time he had the opportunity to audition for a role.

Despite his humble origins, he had a passion for acting out stories and even practiced acting in front of the mirror when he was young.

As he grew older, besides working as an extra, he would also record some imitation clips on the StarNet.

However, he never imitates the script verbatim; instead, he interprets the character in his own way.

For ten years, he pursued his dream day after day, but to no avail.

It's not that no directors appreciate him, but they all give up on casting him because he's purely human. At most, they give him a minor role with one or two shots, and that's it.

To prove that his body could really handle it, he has been doing heavy and tiring work for the past few years.

To be honest, even these physically demanding jobs are hard for him to find.

Because under the same circumstances, the basic principle is that the orcs are physically stronger, rather than the seemingly weak pure humans.

If he hadn't only asked for one-tenth of the salary, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a job at all.

During the day, I do hard and tiring work to build up my physique, and at night I take on academic problem-solving jobs on the StarNet to earn money to buy medicine.

In my spare time, I also have to find time to work as an extra.

So he was really busy and tired, and sometimes he didn't even know what he was persisting in.

Whether it was resentment or genuine affection, even he himself couldn't tell.

I originally thought that with my limited abilities, I could at least get a minor supporting role in this lifetime, which would be pretty good.

After all, supporting characters have fewer scenes, so even if something really happens to him, the loss of replacing him wouldn't be too great.

But there are still risks involved. If they weren't on good terms with him, no director would be willing to give him such an opportunity.

Even for a minor supporting role, good acting is just icing on the cake, while poor acting is not a big deal.

There's no need to add unnecessary risks.

So he came to the audition today knowing that the chances were slim, but people just won't give up until they hit a wall.

Thinking that the chances were slim anyway, he didn't choose to play a supporting role.

Instead, he followed his heart and chose the role he liked best, Cheng Yong.

Excitingly, his performance was recognized.

What's devastating is that he is purely human.

A reason for his refusal that would warrant a death sentence.

After leaving the gates of Tianwen Entertainment, Deng Zimo didn't know where to go next.

I was thinking of giving up and going on strike to stop doing that exhausting work.

Yet, self-discipline is ingrained in their very bones, and the thought of going home and lying around doing nothing makes them feel uncomfortable all over.

In the end, he composed himself and returned to his post.

***
The auditions here are still ongoing.

After Deng Zimo left, many male actors auditioned for the role of Cheng Yong.

However, because of the excellent performances that came before, everyone felt that the male actors who came after were always lacking in expressive eye acting.

Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, the assistant director joked, "I think that actor named Lucy was quite good."

The truth is that he accepted a bribe from the male actor in exchange for saying a few good words about him.

As for whether they will be selected, that cannot be guaranteed. After all, Lan Yuyan had already warned them that no one was allowed to interfere with Jiang Qin's work.

Even if there are situations where we need to give face to our partners, we can't just make arrangements directly. We have to communicate with them first, and then they can communicate with Jiang Qin.

If anyone acts on their own initiative, they should take responsibility for handling it themselves; Tianwen will not intervene.

Therefore, he didn't dare to make any definitive statements about accepting the benefits this time.

Thinking about this made him a little irritable.

As an assistant director, his salary and bonuses were not high to begin with, and he relied on these kickbacks to maintain his high level of consumption.

Most other people turned a blind eye to this situation, since everyone else did it this way.

Surprisingly, someone who wasn't allowed to make money ended up being assigned to this position.

If he hadn't been so optimistic about this project, he would have made an excuse to run away long ago.

Thompson also had some impression of Lucy, "She's really good, her acting skills are fine, she has a lot of fans, and she has a stable fan base."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Qin and asked, "What do you think, Miss Jiang?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qin said, "Let's not decide on Cheng Yong yet, let's finalize the other roles first."

She handed the list she had just selected to Thompson.

"You guys get the other chores ready first. I'll pick out the role of Cheng Yong."

Then comes filming. This film is crucial, so I'll be filming the entire process.

Thompson was surprised by this turn of events and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything to her face.

He turned around and went to find Lan Yuyan.

"President Lan, a team can only have one person in charge; having two will cause problems."

I can understand Ms. Jiang's emphasis on her work, but how to film it is the director's business. Her interference in that is going too far.

Either you assemble her your own team, or I step aside and you take the lead.

Lan Yuyan explained, "She didn't mean to interfere; she was just filming."

Then, if there are any parts that aren't filmed well, I hope you'll listen to her advice, after all, she's the original creator and knows her work better.

"Even so, I still can't accept that I've been making films for thirty years and no one has ever taught me how to make them."

I've always been the one instructing others on how to take photos.

Now you're asking a junior, especially a woman, to teach me how to make movies? Isn't that a joke?
I'll say it again: either replace me, or tell Ms. Jiang to stop interfering with the filming.

"I can let her decide on the casting, but how it's filmed is up to me, the director."

Lan Yuyan remained silent.

Knowing he couldn't persuade Thompson, he could only sigh regretfully, "So you're leaving with the team?"

"Of course, I will take my people with me. If you want to play along with the mistress, then find someone yourself. We will not accompany you."

It's just a pity about that good script.

"That's settled then. I'll form another team, and you can arrange your own work from now on."

Although time was running out, Lan Yuyan still showed no intention of compromising.

Thompson made a mistake; it wasn't that he was just playing along with the female lead's antics.

Instead, it was his mistress who was helping him ascend to the heavens.

The works that Tianwen is preparing to compete for on the charts have already been prepared. Although they are not bad, they are mediocre and do not resonate with people as deeply as "Dying to Survive".

If it weren't for him, Jiang Qin wouldn't have needed to deal with all this trouble.

So, this movie can't be without her, no matter who else is missing.

She's in charge of her own work, and if someone isn't willing to cooperate, then she'll replace them.
