Traveling through Thailand

There were a lot of people who auditioned, and I saw people with all kinds of styles. But among so many people, only a few were successfully selected. After all, the film and television adaptation of this novel only has the four main characters, and there are only a few roles with more screen time for others.

Fortunately, none of this had anything to do with them. Arriving at the scene, I called and soon someone came out: "Sawadee ka, I'm Ben, the director's assistant. You must be Mr. Sky, right? I'll show you in today."

Xiao Yi looked slightly plump, but with a perpetual smile on his face, not giving off a nasty vibe. "Well, my first impression is pretty good. This director must be good too," he said.

Before opening the car door, Xiao Yi was fully armed and dressed, looking like a big star. So Ben, who came to pick him up, thought that this was the newcomer that the investors wanted to promote, and he naturally thought that the others were his team.

Seeing that he had recognized the wrong person, the agent immediately stepped forward and said, "Sawadee ka, this gentleman is Sky, the one who is auditioning this time. I am Sky's agent - Jake."

Ben looked embarrassed, but after all, he was an old man who had been around for a long time, so he immediately corrected his expression: "Oh, sorry, so this is Mr. Sky. Now, let's go in first. The director and editor have already started casting, you may need to wait a little while. They are now selecting the leading role."

I followed him into the building. Since we were walking through a private passage, I didn't run into anyone else along the way. When we reached the corner, Ben stopped and said, "Turn right here and you'll reach the lobby. There are a lot of actors auditioning there. I'll take you there. This is your audition number. Just wait until your number is called and go in."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

Sky and the others walked into the hall, where many people with numbers were sitting on chairs waiting for their numbers to be called.

"There are so many people here, I don't know when it will be our turn." After looking around and finding that there was no seat available, he found a place with few people and leaned against the wall and said lazily.

Jake checked his phone and said, "About half an hour."

"Ah."

Because they came from another passage, few people noticed them. Even if three or two people noticed them, they just glanced at them casually and continued to look at the manuscript in their hands.

The wait wasn't long. After his number was called, Sky took a deep breath and walked into the audition room, watched by their cheering eyes. The wait was long. After Rain had been circling around for many times, Phayu, unable to bear it any longer, pulled him to his side. "Don't worry, wasn't he acting really good during training? This is just a formality." Reassured, Rain glanced towards the audition room. The worry in his eyes hadn't diminished much, but at least he had calmed down.

After someone finally came out, Rian immediately stepped forward: "How is it? How is it? What did the director say?"

Sky held his head high: "If this doesn't work, wouldn't all that practice time be wasted?!"

The audition was a success. While there were external factors involved, it was also his acting skills that convinced the director to give him the role. Xiao Yi looked at the two people chatting happily up ahead, and followed Phayu side by side. Not long into the walk back, a voice called out from behind, "Wait, wait a moment."

He stopped and turned to look at the pursuer. Agent Jake stepped forward and asked, "Assistant Ben, what are you doing?"

Ben, who was catching up with him, said directly, "Our director wants to treat you to a meal. Are you free?"

Inviting me to dinner? After a quick thought, I knew this was a normal social interaction, so I didn't refuse. After giving my agent an okay look, he replied, "Send me the time when you've set it. I'll be there on time tonight."

"Okay, I'll go back and reply to the message. I'll let you know as soon as we set a time."

After they left, Rain hugged Phayu's arm and said, "Isn't it said that those famous people in the entertainment industry are all arrogant? I think this person is quite kind."

Phayu looked at him gently and said, "This is because Yi is the investor. Even if the directors are doing well, they are still inferior to the investors."

"Is that so?"

"Well, if it weren't for Yi's protection, I might not be able to play that role." Sky agreed with this. He was not a newbie and knew something about those hidden rules.

Rain was very happy walking down the path, imagining Sky filming and him following behind to watch their performance. Thinking about it, the smile on his face became even more unbearable. Phayu had to hold him back in time several times to prevent him from falling flat on his face.

Walking onto the main road, those who had finished their interviews were walking out in groups of three or five. Xiao Yi and the others who had blended into the group listened to the gossip among them:

"I didn't expect that the role of a uke was already decided right away, but I don't know which story it was."

"Alas, there were originally four main characters, and now that one has been decided, the competition rate for the remaining three will definitely be higher."

"Who said it wasn't? But fortunately, I have self-awareness. I'm auditioning for the classmate of the protagonists. Hahaha, there are still a few lines."

"You look so excited. Were you chosen on the spot?"

"No, they told me to go back and wait for news, but I feel like my chances of getting this role are very high. After all, I'm not very handsome, but I'm not ugly either, and my acting skills are good. I also have experience in filming, so my chances of getting selected are definitely much higher."

When the people around heard him say this, they were speechless: "That's it? It's as if we are not the same."

"Yes, yes."

After walking for a while, the crowd had already dispersed considerably, as we had used a different mode of transportation. Since I had an appointment that evening, I dropped Rian and the others off first, then drove downstairs to the apartment building to change cars, and took Sky to the coffee shop we often frequented to kill time.

Maybe it was fate, but after placing the order, Xiao Yi saw Tai. However, there was someone sitting opposite him. He was wearing a white coat and looked handsome, but of course he couldn't compare to him. When he got closer, he could hear what they were talking about. But it would be a dull conversation.

What, are you a writer?

Ok.

Amazing.

Wait to hear their conversation.

After Sky had chosen the flavor he wanted to drink, he saw that Yi was standing there without choosing a seat, so he walked over and asked, "Yi, why didn't you choose a seat and sit down?"

Hearing the familiar name, Tai looked over here, saw the man in the black hat and black mask, and looked at the familiar phoenix eyes: "Ah, Yi. You came to drink coffee too."

Xiao nodded. It was then that he saw the face of the man in the white coat and the name on it: Shiliwei Pet Home. So he was an employee of the shop across the street. He hadn't run into them in the past.

"Your friend?" Xiao glanced at the person sitting opposite him.

Tai shook his head. "We're sharing a table. The guy next to you is the one I've been wanting to introduce to me—Sky?"

Xiao nodded: "Yes, it's him."

"Then who's the one opposite him?"

"Looking at his coat, he must be a doctor, and the only place around here that resembles a doctor is the pet hospital across the street."

"Oh, is that the one that rescued Doubao?"

"Ah."
