Yunhai Hotel.
Xiao Zhan, together with Wen Sining, pushed open the door of the audition site with the audition invitation letter in his hand.
At this moment, there were no fewer than twenty people standing in the long corridor. All of them were dressed up in fancy clothes, and their makeup was even more exquisite than that of Wen Sining, a woman.
After they went in, a staff member came over. After checking the invitation letter in Xiao Zhan's hand, the staff gave him a number tag and a piece of A4 paper. There were only a few lines written on the paper:
Wu San, the son of Steward Wu. He grew up with the eldest young master of the Lin family since childhood and accompanied the eldest young master of the Lin family to study abroad and return after completing his studies.
These two short lines, without a proper beginning or end, made Xiao Zhan frown.
He first debuted as a singer. Although he had acted in several TV dramas, he had only played some unimportant supporting roles. Only a TV drama in which he played the second male lead a few months ago suddenly became a hit and thus made him popular.
As a non - professional actor, he was really at a loss when facing such a strange audition. And this time he was auditioning for a new drama directed by a titan in the director circle. Moreover, the confidentiality measures for this drama were very strict. So far, there was no news about the script of this drama on the Internet, which made him even more nervous.
Wen Sining beside him also saw the words on the paper. She patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. Being able to audition for Director Wu Ming's drama already proves your strength. You just need to bring out all your strength. No matter what the result is, at least we won't leave any regrets."
Wen Sining's words were like a sedative, instantly calming his flustered heart. He smiled helplessly and reached out his hand to pat her on the head, "Well, you're right. As long as we don't leave any regrets."
Wen Sining quickly tilted her head to avoid his hand.
"Don't pat. You'll mess up my hairstyle." As she said, she fluffed up her messy bangs.
"Yo, I wondered who it was. Isn't this Xiao Zhan? So, you also received Director Wu's invitation letter? With your acting skills, you'll only hold back Director Wu's drama, right?"
At this time, a boy in a gaudy fluorescent green coat came over and said in a sarcastic tone.
This was a former member of Xiao Zhan's group before he went solo. His name was Guo Zitao. Like Xiao Zhan, he was also involved in both singing and acting. After Xiao Zhan went solo, he signed with the rival company of the media company where Xiao Zhan used to be. He had always regarded himself as Xiao Zhan's rival.
Whether it was releasing songs or acting, he always wanted to compete with Xiao Zhan.
Coincidentally, this time they both received the audition invitation from Director Wu.
However, the difference was that Guo Zitao had confirmed through some means that he was auditioning for the role of the second male lead. At the same time, he had also obtained in advance the part of the play he was going to audition for. He had practiced it countless times at home overnight. It could be said that this role was basically a sure thing for him.
Xiao Zhan gave him a non -chalant glance and ignored him.
Guo Zitao wasn't angry either. He casually stood beside Xiao Zhan. With a kind smile on his face, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Xiao Zhan, I heard that you signed with Moxin. Hehe, you found a new backer so soon. But I heard that the boss of Moxin is also a daughter - in - law of the Lu family. How is it? Is it especially different to be with a daughter - in - law of a wealthy family?"
In the eyes of others, he was just simply greeting his former teammate. No one would have thought that the words he said were so vulgar.
Xiao Zhan instantly clenched his fists and was about to retort subconsciously. At this time, Wen Sining, who had been standing beside him, grabbed his hand and popped out her head with a smile, looking at Guo Zitao.
"Ha, sorry, Mr. Guo. Your voice is too loud. It's hurting my ears. But I think you're really funny, Mr. Guo. Why do you think that just because you're a certain kind of person, others must be the same as you? Mr. Guo, you seem to be so resentful. Could it be that your backer didn't satisfy you?"
"You..." Guo Zitao's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to get angry, Wen Sining slowly put a finger to her lips.
"Shh, Mr. Guo. There are so many people here. Be careful that there are ears on the wall. You don't want tomorrow's hot search to be about you and your backer, do you?"
"I don't know what you're talking nonsense about! If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that I'll sue you for slander!" Guo Zitao was so angry that his face turned red.
"Hehe, whether it's true or not, you know it yourself, Mr. Guo. Oh, right. Here's my business card. If you think I've damaged your reputation, you're very welcome to sue me."
At the sight of Wen Sining's name on the business card, the color on Guo Zitao's face faded extremely fast and his face instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
He really didn't expect that the woman in front of him was the mysterious founder of Moxin and also the daughter - in - law of the wealthy Lu family.
Thinking of the power of the Lu family, Guo Zitao's legs went weak.
Only a few people in the circle knew about his being kept by a backer. But if it was the Lu family, they would definitely have a way to make this matter a big deal. If his being kept was exposed, it would definitely be a devastating blow to his career.
Moreover, the most important thing was that recently, his backer had been losing interest in him...
He took a few deep breaths and forced a smile.
"So it's President Wen. I've long admired you. It's almost my turn. I won't catch up with you. I'll leave first."
Guo Zitao ran away as if there were ghosts chasing him and returned to the place where he had been standing at first.
"Ha, I thought he was so brave. He got scared so quickly. No wonder his backer doesn't want him anymore."
"Sining, how do you know about Guo Zitao's things?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously.
He knew that Guo Zitao had told him about being kept when he came to show off. But Wen Sining had never had any dealings with Guo Zitao. How did she know about these dirty things?
Wen Sining laughed, "Haha, did you forget that you're my artist now? Can I not go and understand your interpersonal relationships in the circle? Guo Zitao is the key target of investigation. I've already investigated all his affairs thoroughly."
When he heard Wen Sining say that he was her artist, he couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth and showed a somewhat silly smile.
This little episode passed quickly. Xiao Zhan waited for about two hours. Finally, the staff called his number tag.
Wen Sining couldn't go in, so she could only pray outside the door that Xiao Zhan's audition would go smoothly.
After a while, Xiao Zhan came out. He had taken off his coat and hung it on his arm. The buttons of his shirt inside had been undone to the third one, revealing a small part of his lean chest.
"How was it?" Wen Sining asked impatiently.
Xiao Zhan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Wen Sining patted his shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. It's just a role. Don't take it to heart. You'll meet more suitable roles in the future."
