Curiosity is the driving force behind human progress, but it can also be a harbinger of decline.

The simple audition allowed director Chen Jiajia to glean many insights.

His initial idea was to assign the role to Mingbei.

His performance on set was indeed satisfactory.

Of course, he won't say it directly now; everyone is leaving some room for maneuver.

However, even if Mingbei isn't cast in the role of An Shigeng, Chen Jiajia would probably still force him into the role to add color to the film.

After the audition, the four of them sat down and chatted.

"Mingbei, where are you from?"

Deng Chao took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

Judging solely from his accent, it's difficult to discern Mingbei's background; however, his Mandarin is quite standard.

The dialogue delivery skills I demonstrated during the audition were quite good.

"Oh, I'm from Guangdong..."

Oh?

Upon hearing this, Chen Jia immediately put down his cup.

Are you from Guangdong?

Guangdong and Hong Kong are closely connected, and generally speaking, people from both places have a fairly close relationship.

Looking across Guangdong Province, which place doesn't have a few relatives in Hong Kong?

Moreover, many of the older generation of people on Hong Kong Island fled from Guangdong Province back then, so their roots are actually the same.

So, if you meet them outside, you can still feel a sense of familiarity.

Chen Jia had no idea about Ming Bei's background before, he only knew that someone recommended him, saying that he was a good person, and that the requirements for their villainous role were not low, so he let him give it a try.

After trying it, the results were indeed quite good.

Now that I've heard about Mingbei's hometown, the relationship feels even closer.

The two then started chatting in Cantonese, during which Mingbei also told him about meeting the casting director for Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

"Wow, Mingbei, you've even landed a role in Stephen Chow's movies!"

After listening to Chen Jia's introduction, Deng Chao looked at Ming Bei with amazement.

"I've been in the industry for so long, and I've never had any contact with Stephen Chow!"

Mingbei thought to himself, "There's no need to rush this, because in a few years, you'll become the male lead in Stephen Chow's movies."

Liu Yifei was also very surprised. It can be said that Mingbei has brought her a series of shocks today!

"It's not decided yet, it's completely undecided," Mingbei shook his head.

"It's too early to say for sure..."

He wasn't being modest; it was indeed the case.

The reason for asking was mainly to see what suggestions Chen Jiajia had.

"Sing-jai is an imaginative and exceptionally talented person," Chen Jia said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

"Even if the role isn't very big, he can still turn something ordinary into something extraordinary!"

"If you have some free time, I think you could learn a lot from him on set!"

Mingbei scratched his face, thinking that if Stephen Chow were a woman, he would rush up to her and then break up with her, and he could probably become a top actress and director in China overnight.

After all, Stephen Chow's acting skills are undoubtedly top-notch, and his directing ability is equally outstanding.

Even if it's just half, that's enough for Mingbei to run rampant in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, he was a man.

Actually, the best way to use the breakup system is to target older female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

For example, Qing Nai's ability to reap rewards is definitely not low.

Mingbei just didn't want to compromise himself. He could accept someone older, but he couldn't accept someone from a generational gap!

A gap of more than one generation is truly unbearable!

He can't force himself to do something just to gain the skills and wealth he's allocated!

"It's too early to say; we'll have to see how things develop," Mingbei replied.

"It's very difficult to meet the requirements of Stephen Chow's movies; I might get rejected outright?"

That's not impossible, after all, no one can guess what Stephen Chow is thinking.

"Yes, that's true," Chen Jia nodded.

"Relatively speaking, aside from female characters, his works rarely feature stunning male actors; rather, it's more likely that character actors will shine in his films..."

Chen Jiajia couldn't offer any substantial advice on this situation, since their collaboration had been a long time ago.

I don't fully understand Stephen Chow's current directing style and personnel strategy.

After chatting for a while, Mingbei didn't linger.

Strictly speaking, the three people in this story are the director and the male and female leads; he can't really get involved for now.

If he were present in certain parts of the story, it would be difficult for people to discuss them.

So he was quite sensible; after the audition, he chatted briefly and then left.

As for paying the bill after leaving, of course he can't do it!

After he left, the three people in the tea room started talking about Mingbei.

Although it's not good to talk about someone behind their back, they couldn't hide their curiosity about Mingbei.

"Director, what do you think?" Liu Yifei asked proactively.

"Can he meet An Shigeng's requirements for the role?"

"His eye acting is very good," Chen Jia also gave his honest evaluation.

"For someone his age to possess such skill is truly rare!"

He paused, then continued,

"In terms of role fit, he should be able to portray the feeling I want, but I just don't know if he can maintain that kind of expressive eye acting for a long time without his performance weakening..."

Some actors may rely purely on intuition when acting, and can unleash a strong ability under certain circumstances.

However, acting is influenced by many factors, and it is extremely difficult to complete a scene in one take.

Sometimes, a shout from a bystander can completely interrupt your flow.

In this context, actors need to try out a particular scene multiple times in order to achieve the best acting performance.

This isn't a problem for normal actors, because they're used to it.

However, for talented actors, the long retakes might cause them to develop a sense of aversion, which in turn affects their performance.

"Probably not," Deng Chao said thoughtfully.

"Judging from his appearance, it's not like he lacks the ability to control his acting!"

"And," he added with a laugh, "that's also..."

"Didn't he act in a movie before, and filming wrapped up smoothly?"

"If he were truly acting purely based on emotions, filming shouldn't have wrapped up so quickly!"

Liu Yifei also offered her opinion, "When I was acting with him, I felt a maturity beyond his years, which is truly rare!"

Their words did indeed make sense and moved Chen Jiajia.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with Mingbei.

If there are no further issues, this role will fall to Mingbei!

......

Mingbei was, of course, unaware of their discussion.

He also had important business to attend to at this time. He was currently carrying a fortune of tens of millions of yuan and was preparing to go to a university in Shanghai.
