Bai Yueguang returns to China, don't be a spare tire, divorce Lin

Ye Wanqing's seat was right next to Zhao Jinyu. As the young master of Morning Star Group, this drama was a project funded by Zhao Jinyu himself. Therefore, at today's casting meeting, Zhao Jinyu naturally sat in the core position.

To the left of Zhao Jinyu is the general director of the play, and to his right is Ye Wanqing, the chief screenwriter.

After Ye Wanqing sat down, not only did the actor who had spoken rudely to her before look embarrassed, but even the two female auditioning actors who laughed a few times looked a little uneasy.

The two main male and two female characters in the play have been confirmed, and today's focus is on selecting several key supporting female and male roles.

Director Ruan Lu is known in the industry for his rigorous directing style. He earned a high reputation for directing serious dramas in his early years. However, a few years ago, Ruan Lu suddenly changed his style and began to devote himself to the filming of idol dramas.

Although Ruan Lu is famous for directing serious dramas, he has also achieved remarkable results in idol dramas, especially in the actors' performances and image design. Therefore, the first two idol dramas directed by Ruan Lu were widely loved by the audience.

Ruan Lu's casting standards remain unchanged, which is that the actors must appear without makeup and choose a script to perform on the spot.

Today's casting event also followed this tradition. The actors on the stage all appeared without makeup, wearing jeans and sweaters, and their hairstyles were kept simple and consistent. Whether they could be selected depended entirely on their acting performance on the spot.

In addition to changing into the uniforms prepared by the crew in advance, the actors participating in the audition only wore a number plate representing their number, and even their names were not made public. Their agents and company representatives could only watch the entire audition process in the designated area.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed unusually quiet. Ruan Lu glanced at Zhao Jinyu lightly, then asked, "Boss Zhao, can we begin now?"

Although Ruan Lu was not interested in the power of capital, he could feel that Zhao Jinyu's respect for him was sincere.

Zhao Jinyu visited him three times and sincerely invited him to direct this work, and did not interfere too much in the casting process. Even when it came to the choice of the protagonist, Zhao Jinyu only made his own suggestions, and the final decision was left to Ruan Lu.

Therefore, Ruan Lu had no complaints about Zhao Jinyu attending the casting in person today.

Zhao Jinyu smiled gently and replied gently, "Director Ruan, you are fully responsible. You are the real decision maker for today's casting."

These words made Ruan Lu feel very satisfied. He narrowed his eyes, showed a comfortable smile, and then signaled to his assistant that he could start the audition.

The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and when they came on again, an actress wearing the number 1 tag was standing in the center.

Each auditioning actor had only eight minutes to show himself, and the actor No. 4, who had previously had a bad attitude towards Ye Wanqing, chose to play the role of the second female lead.

The second female lead is a female character with a strong personality. She looks indifferent on the outside, but is actually passionate on the inside. She appears arrogant to the outside world, but shows a gentle side on the inside.

Actor No. 4 chose to perform a scene in which he protected the heroine. After watching it, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Actress No. 4 felt a little uneasy standing on the stage. Not only did she mispronounce her lines, but she also seemed a little absent-minded. Her overall performance did not meet expectations.

Ruan Lu was obviously not satisfied with this, so she asked her to try another role.

Actor No. 4 was obviously not fully prepared and only looked at the script at the last minute, resulting in a disorganized performance. Ye Wanqing gave her own score directly on the score sheet.

Under the guidance of the staff, actor No. 4 left the stage somewhat disappointed, and then other actors came on stage one after another for audition.

The entire audition process lasted nearly two hours, and by the time all the actors had completed their auditions, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

Ye Wanqing submitted her own scoring form. In order to ensure the fairness of the entire casting, the list of selected actors will be announced ten minutes after everyone's audition is finished.

As for whether these actors can get the roles they want, that requires further consideration. After all, it depends on the director to make the final allocation decision based on each person's expressiveness and temperament.

Soon, the casting results were announced to the public. Ye Wanqing quickly glanced at the list and found that the results were roughly in line with her expectations. She put away the pen in her hand, picked up the mineral water bottle next to her, and took a sip.

Zhao Jinyu turned around, looked at Ye Wanqing with a smile, and asked, "Miss Ye, do you have any different opinions on this result?"

Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly and replied, "No, I respect Director Ruan's choice."

When Ruan Lu heard Ye Wanqing's answer, he couldn't help but feel more respect and affection for Ye Wanqing, who was both the original author and the chief screenwriter.

As the results were announced, the atmosphere on the scene became complicated. Some actors were happy because they were selected, while others were depressed because they were not selected.

After all, most of the actors who came to audition today are newcomers who have just made their mark, and Director Ruan Lu is well-known for his ability to discover and promote supporting actors. If they can get a more important role in this drama, they may become famous overnight.

It is natural for those actors who are successfully selected to be ecstatic, but it is understandable that those who fail to make the cut feel disappointed and sad.

Ye Wanqing picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and was about to get up and leave, but Zhao Jinyu gently held the bottle in her hand and suggested:

"Miss Ye, if you don't mind, could you please have dinner with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he politely let go of his hand. Although his movements were a little hasty, he still maintained proper politeness.

Ye Wanqing frowned slightly and was about to politely decline when suddenly a sharp female voice broke the silence:

"This result is so unfair!"

The one who spoke was the actress auditioning number 4. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she clutched the score sheet tightly in her hand. She walked up to Zhao Jinyu and Ruan Lu in agitation and protested loudly:

"Director Ruan! President Zhao! This result is unfair to me!"

Her agent tried to step forward to stop her, but when he saw that she had already rushed to Zhao Jinyu and Ruan Lu, he had to give up. He might have felt unfair that his actor did not get the opportunity he deserved.

Actress No. 4's voice was exceptionally loud, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Some actors who have been successfully selected have not left yet, while some actors who were not selected have chosen to stay, hoping to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of Zhao Jinyu. After all, the young master of Morning Star is the object of everyone's favor.

Ruan Lu did not show any displeasure in the face of the accusation from Actress No. 4. Instead, she asked with a smile:

"Number 4, can you tell me specifically what you think is unfair?"

Actress No. 4 pointed at Ye Wanqing without hesitation: "She! She gave me a low score on purpose!"

This sudden accusation made Ye Wanqing the center of everyone's attention. Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but smack his lips softly:

"Why would she give you a low score on purpose?"

Actress No. 4 seemed to have thrown her mind into it and spoke bluntly: "I misunderstood her as an actress auditioning and said some inappropriate things. She must be holding a grudge and is taking this opportunity to get back at me!"

When her agent heard these words, he almost fainted from anger.

Actress No. 4 is well-known for her hot temper in the entertainment industry, which emphasizes tact, but she directly accused the chief screenwriter of deliberately giving her a low score.

Regardless of whether Ye Wanqing really did it on purpose, Actress No. 4's blatant noise has basically cut off the possibility of her joining the crew again.

If this scene today were to be spread, her future career would probably be even more difficult.

"Oh my God, my lady, what are you talking about! How could Miss Ye be so stingy!"

The agent frantically tried to explain himself.

When Zhao Jinyu heard these words, he raised his brows slightly and recalled some things that happened last night.

Feeling Zhao Jinyu's gaze, Ye Wanqing turned her head to look at him, then turned to Actress No. 4 and said:

"I don't"

She paused, then turned to Ruan Lu: "Director Ruan, the scoring form should still be there. We can compare it to see if I really gave her a low score on purpose as she said."

Ruan Lu admired Ye Wanqing's calmness and composure very much, so he signaled his assistant to bring the judges' scoring sheets.

After getting the form and comparing it, I found that Ye Wanqing's score for No. 4 was not the lowest, but the highest.

Although there were no names written on the form, the judges' positions were marked and Ye Wanqing's score was clearly visible.
