Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Chen Mo pushed open the door and came out. Wang Yanlin and Deng Lun saw him come out and immediately came over:

"How's it going, buddy? What was the director's reaction?"

"It's alright, they told me to wait for their notification."

"I heard that Director Wu has very strict requirements."

Wang Yanlin stroked his chin. "However, you seem quite confident, so you must have performed well."

Deng Lun also looked over, his eyes questioning.

"I've done my best; the rest is up to luck."

Chen Mo smiled, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now. I wish you all the best in your auditions."

"Thank you for your kind words!"

Wang Yanlin waved his hand, "If I get selected, see you on set!"

See you on set.

Chen Mo left the lounge and walked out of Building 3.

In late September, Beijing had a clear blue sky and perfect sunshine.

The audition is over, and everything that needed to be done has been done.

Now, all we can do is wait for the results.

On his way home, he received a message from Li Qin: "How did the audition go?"

"Just finished, feels okay, waiting for further notice."

"That's good. Let me see if I can inquire about the situation for you."

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

"You're welcome."

Chen Mo put down his phone, leaned back in his car seat, and closed his eyes.

The audition scene was replaying in my mind.

The first paragraph is filled with sunlight, the second with darkness.

He felt he had performed well.

But this industry isn't something you can succeed in just by relying on acting skills and looks.

Background, relationships, and luck are all indispensable.

The phrase "[The Smile of Lady Luck]" is about to come in handy.

……

Back at his apartment, Chen Mo had just stepped inside when his phone rang.

It was Wang Lihua calling.

"Chen Mo, is the audition over?"

Wang Jie's capable voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Just got back, Sister Wang."

"I have a few things to report to you."

Wang Lihua speaks very quickly, but her points are clear and logical.

"First, the business license for the studio has been obtained, and the official seal and financial seal have been made."

"Great, Sister Wang is really efficient."

"Of course."

Wang Lihua paused for a moment, then said, "The second thing is that I've finished coordinating with Yang Mi's team and reviewed all the business invitations they've sent you so far."

Chen Mo walked over to the sofa and sat down: "How was it?"

"To be honest, the quality is not high."

Wang Lihua was very direct: "These are all promotions for small brands or endorsements for micro-businesses. The prices are low, but the requirements are high. Some even require you to cooperate in selling goods. I think taking on these jobs now will lower your status."

"What's Sister Wang's suggestion?"

My suggestion is to not accept the call for now.

Wang Lihua analyzed, "You now have two dramas waiting to be broadcast, 'Three Lives Three Worlds' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' especially 'Three Lives Three Worlds,' which will be broadcast at the beginning of next year."

"Once the show airs, your popularity will definitely rise, your market value will be different, and the quality of collaborations you can negotiate will be much higher."

She added, "Of course, this will result in the loss of some short-term income. But in the long run, it will be more beneficial to your image and development."

Chen Mo thought about it and felt it made sense:

"Sister Wang is right, let's do it your way. Let's politely decline these invitations for now and see how they go after the show airs."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo leaned back on the sofa.

Wang Lihua is indeed professional; she handled things in an orderly manner.

With such an executive agent, he can save a lot of trouble.

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

This time it's Bai Mengyan.

"Chen Mo! Have you finished your audition?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was as energetic as ever.

"Just got home after the audition."

"That's perfect!"

Bai Mengyan said excitedly, "Yitong finished filming today and went back to Beijing. How about the three of us have dinner together tonight? I've already made a reservation!"

Chen Mo was taken aback: "Yi Tong is back?"

"Yes, she arrived this afternoon and just called me."

Chen Mo glanced at the time: 4 PM.

"Okay, what time?"

"6:30! I'll send you my address later, don't be late!"

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo got up and washed his face.

She changed her clothes, wearing a light gray sweatshirt with black casual pants, a simple and refreshing look.

He took a taxi and set off at 5:30.

……

Meanwhile, the meeting room of the "Princess Agents" production team was filled with smoke.

After a day of auditions, all the candidates for the main roles have been met, and it's time to make a decision.

Director Wu Jinyuan sat in the main seat, with a pile of actor information and audition records spread out in front of him.

The producer, screenwriter, casting director, and investor representatives sat on either side.

"Now that everyone has seen the actors who auditioned today, let's finalize the roles."

Wu Jinyuan stubbed out his cigarette. "Yuwen Huai, Wang Yanlin did a good job. He had that ruthless streak, but not too much."

The casting director nodded: "I also think Wang Yanlin is suitable. He handled the scene where he humiliated Yan Xun in his audition very well."

"Then it's Wang Yanlin."

Wu Jinyuan ticked a box on the list. "Where's Xiao Ce?"

"Deng Lun, the image fits the role. He portrayed that dashing yet unassuming character perfectly."

"Princess Yuan Chun, Li Lin, right? Her audition scene a couple of days ago, where she played a character who turned to the dark side, was very intense. Plus, she looks good in period costume and is quite popular with the audience."

"Yuan Song..."

"The seventh day of the month..."

As the roles were gradually assigned, the atmosphere in the meeting room became subtle.

Only Yan Xun's case remains undecided.

Wu Jinyuan flipped through the last two documents: Chen Mo and Dou Xiao.

"Yan Xun, choose one."

He looked up and around. "What are everyone's opinions?"

The producer spoke first:

"From a commercial point of view, Dou Xiao has higher brand recognition. She debuted in 'Under the Hawthorn Tree' and has film works, which guarantees high viewership ratings."

The investor representative then spoke:

"But Dou Xiao's offer was much higher than Chen Mo's. Chen Mo is a newcomer, so his price is cheaper, and he has two dramas waiting to be broadcast, 'Eternal Love' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."

By the time our "Princess Agents" airs, his two dramas should already be airing, and their popularity should be quite high.

Wu Jinyuan nodded and looked at the screenwriter: "What do you think?"

The screenwriter pushed up his glasses: "In terms of character suitability, I think Chen Mo is more suitable."

Yan Xun's character undergoes a significant transformation from his early to later stages, and Chen Mo portrayed that change very naturally during his audition.

Especially the scenes after the Nine Nether Terrace, the despair and hatred were portrayed with great depth.

She paused: "Dou Xiao's audition, he played the sunny and cheerful character well in the early stages, but the parts after he turned to the dark side..."

It's a bit superficial; it's ruthless, but it lacks the pain and struggle.

The casting director chimed in, "Chen Mo's acting is indeed better. Moreover, his period costume look is outstanding, exuding a noble air that suits the identity of Prince Yan Xun."

The producer frowned: "But Chen Mo doesn't have any works airing yet, so we don't know how the reaction will be. This is a big production; isn't the risk too great?"

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Wu Jinyuan lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled:

"Alright, let's vote. Raise your hand if you agree with Chen Mo."

He raised his hand first.

The investor representative quickly raised his hand:

"The biggest advantage is that it's cheap."

The screenwriter hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand: "I choose Chen Mo; he has a deep understanding of the character."

The casting director raised his hand: "The acting is better, and the image is a better fit."

The producer looked at everyone, and seeing that all eyes were on him, he finally raised his hand helplessly:

"Then what else is there to say? Let's go with him."

It passed unanimously with five votes.

Wu Jinyuan made the decision: "Then it's Chen Mo. Notify him to sign the contract as soon as possible."
