Chapter 281: The Central Figure
The whole entertainment circle was abuzz with Hua Ying’s apology. Some people even said that the entertainment company would reshuffle the lineup soon. This was the central figure of that incident after all.
Everyone knew that the young lady in front of them had a strong backer and could not be offended. She must have gone through the back door to come to the audition.
After taking a look, everyone stopped paying attention to her and started chatting about the upcoming audition.
On the other hand, Fang Hua smiled and waved at her, looking like she was very familiar with her. “Sheng Sheng, come over here.”
Sheng Xichen sat beside her and whispered, “This lady really entered.”
Director Chen had chosen people without opening the back door for anyone. Those who had come were people who had caught his eye and gained relative recognition from him. This young lady was not bad!
Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen were sitting in a separate s.p.a.ce in the center of the venue. There was no one around them, as they had all deliberately left s.p.a.ce for them.
The two of them were old comrades who had been friends for more than 10 years. There would not be any rumors about them sitting together.
During an audition with Chen Mo, no matter how big of an actor one was, one would not receive any special treatment. There was no private lounge either, so they all sat in the auditorium and waited.
Ling Sheng did not care what others thought of her. She ran over excitedly, her eyes crinkling as she smiled. “Hi, Teacher Fanghua. Hi, Senior Sheng.”
“Why am I a senior and she is a teacher?” Sheng Xichen joked.
“Hi, Teacher Sheng.” Ling Sheng changed the way she addressed him.
“Sit.” Fang Hua patted the seat beside her.
The gazes around them changed again.
Luo Xin’s eyes were cold as she looked ahead. After all, she was managed by Huo Ci’s Studio. The way people treated her was indeed different. Even the Best Actor and Best Actress had to give Huo Ci some face.
Ling Sheng did not stand on ceremony. Despite how her father was at home, he was like a fish in water when he was outside. Everyone in the entertainment circle was his friend, so they had to give him some face. It just depended on how close their relationship was.
Coincidentally, the two people beside her had excellent personalities and work experience. They were the kind of people who could be good friends with her father and be second only to her uncles. There were autographed photos of them on the wall at home.
When she’d heard that Chen Mo had invited her over and the strange person she had met at the conference had been Chen Mo, she had been shocked.
“Sheng Sheng, is what you said true?” Fang Hua’s expression was conflicted.
“I’ve met Director Chen Mo a few times. Although we don’t have a close relationship, logically speaking, I should be able to recognize him.” Sheng Xichen was a little embarra.s.sed that he had not recognized him.
He had clearly said that he had tried to lose weight, change his style, cut his hair, and shave, but the difference was huge. Who would dare recognize him?
“I can understand that. I didn’t recognize him either. He said he grew a big beard in the past to make himself look more serious. He was fat because he had been taking steroids. He stopped taking medicine for half a year and started exercising, so his weight decreased as a result.” Ling Sheng helped explain with a smile. “However, the change is really big. He’s like two different people.”
The three of them were chatting amicably. Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen had not expected the young lady to be so extraordinary despite her young age. She was lively and adorable, and she knew how to speak nicely. She was also very likable.
At 10 o’clock sharp, the audition officially started. The order in which they were called was random, and the names just rolled on the big screen. Whoever saw their name roll on the screen would get on the stage. There was no time to prepare beforehand, nor was there time to prepare mentally. This tested the actors’ ability to adapt on the spot and challenged their mental fort.i.tude the most.
