Chapter 498 - 498 Don’t Give Me That!

498 Don’t Give Me That!

Yiwu even said: “I have a lot of confidence in your acting skills. You will definitely perform better than the pre-chosen actress.”

As Yiwu said that, he kept glancing at Mingguan.

Ji Cheng continued to raise his hand. “Me too! I think so too!”

He had no choice, he was the youngest among them.

Yiwu was also on very good terms with him, and even helped him out before, even solving his most urgent problems.

When they were filming “Red Tiger,” they had already started filming, but there was still an actor who stood him up at the last minute.

It was all thanks to Yiwu who had introduced Lu Man to him that he did not have to delay the filming because of the actor.

Later on, Lu Man even helped to promote “Red Tiger.”

The reason why “Red Tiger’s” box office was so high at that time, other than the quality of the filming itself being excellent, it was also because of Lu Man’s actions to promote it.

And all of this had started because Yiwu had gone to look for Lu Man for help first.

Ji Cheng had always remembered how good Yiwu was, and his relationship with Yiwu had always been especially good.

Therefore, Ji Cheng spoke slowly on purpose.

After Yiwu was done, he then raised his hand to indicate, “Me too, me too.”

Mingguan was furious. He stood up and said angrily, “You two don’t trust my character that much? You actually dare to threaten me?”

Yiwu and Ji Cheng actually had a good relationship with Mingguan, so they were not afraid that he would be angry.

Yiwu even said directly, “I’m just afraid that you’ll choose Su Youlan.”

Mingguan rolled his eyes in anger. “I wouldn’t have chosen Su Youlan if her acting skills were bad, but now that the difference between good and bad is so obvious, I wouldn’t choose her! What kind of person do you two take me for!”

“I, Li Mingguan, have been in the industry for so many years. Although I’m not undyingly upright and outspoken, and I do have to lower my head when I need to, I’ve never been vague about the general direction!” Mingguan waved his hand in annoyance. “Don’t give me that!”

“Hahahahaha!” Yiwu patted Ji Cheng’s shoulder. “Deng Xu and Zhang Kangw.a.n.g really didn’t recommend you wrongly! These two are worthy friends! They did not scam me, and the person who they recommended is reliable!”

Yiwu gave him a thumbs up.

Ji Cheng smiled honestly.

Mingguan rolled his eyes in anger.

These two were still acting with him.

“Ahem!” Jiang Xun cleared her throat and confirmed. “Director Li, does this mean that I’m the one who’s going to be playing Luo Niannian’s role? You won’t change it, right?”

“Yes, I confirm that you will be playing the role.” Mingguan nodded. “I don’t dare to change it. If I change it, these two will expose the audition video!”

However, that was Yiwu and Ji Cheng. There was also Mufeng. That was the person he could least afford to offend!

When Yiwu and Ji Cheng heard that, they laughed out loud.

Ji Cheng cupped his hands at Mingguan. “Old brother, don’t stoop to your little brother’s level. Little brother is also eager to see talent.”

“Go, go, go!” Mingguan waved his hand in a bad mood, but he also laughed after that.

Mingguan took out a script and handed it to Jiang Xun. “Little Jiang, take this back. This is the latest version. I’ve confirmed it with the screenwriter. If there are any changes, it’ll be after the cameras start shooting. It won’t be changed before that.”

Yiwu raised his wrist to look at his watch, then turned to ask Mingguan, “There’s no one else in the morning, right?”

“There’s no more.” Mingguan held two folders in his hands. “There are a few more auditions in the afternoon. After the auditions are over, let’s have a meeting to discuss and decide on the actors.”

Mingguan handed the two lists to his a.s.sistant. “Keep these two lists. One is the list of candidates for the audition. We’ll have a meeting tonight to discuss it. The other is the list of people who failed to get chosen.”

The a.s.sistant took it and put it away.

After the audition in the morning, Mingguan, his a.s.sistant, and Jiang Xun went out together.

Other than Qiyao and Youlan, who were waiting for Jiang Xun’s results, everyone else had left the lounge.

When they saw Mingguan and the others come out together, Qiyao and the others immediately stood up. “Director!”

Mingguan and the other two smiled and greeted them. “You guys haven’t left yet?”

“We’re waiting for Jiang Jiang,” Qiyao smiled and said. “Director, how was Jiang Jiang’s audition?”

Youlan also walked over. “Director, how did my audition go? Is there anyone else auditioning for the role of Luo Niannian this afternoon?”

“That’s all. Jiang Xun was the last one to audition for Luo Niannian.” Mingguan was still thinking about how to tell Youlan when Yiwu said, “Since everyone is here, Old Li, why don’t you just tell them now? That way, they won’t have to go back and wait.”

Everyone turned to look at him.

“Director Sun, do you mean that the results are already out?” Zhang Jian asked.

“Not all of them,” Yiwu said. “But the few of you already have your results.”

Mingguan had a headache and thought that Yiwu was really giving him a difficult problem.

He hadn’t thought of how to tell Youlan yet.

For some reason, the scene of Jiang Xun and Mingguan coming out together reminded Youlan of the audition for “Path of Life.” Jiang Xun had also come out with Haoulun.

The shadow of the past attacked Youlan.

Mingguan sighed. He would have to face it sooner or later, so he said, “You’ve all pa.s.sed the auditions for your roles. Go back and prepare. The new script will be sent to your manager by tomorrow at the latest. Especially Xiangyou, your performance this time was beyond my expectations!”

“The rest of them are professional actors. Their performances are within the range of their abilities. It’s not right if they don’t act well,” Mingguan laughed and said. “On the other hand, you’re the one who started out as an idol and started acting halfway. I didn’t expect you to act so naturally.”

It could be seen that Zhang Xiangyou’s company had carefully selected his role.

They were sure that this role was suitable for Xiangyou, and Xiangyou would definitely be able to play it well.

“Thank you, Director.” Xiangyou heaved a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t very confident that he would be selected, even though the company had already chosen the role that he was most confident in.

After all, he was not a professional actor, so he had always lacked confidence in this aspect.

This time, he had only done his best, but he had not expected to be chosen.

Xiangyou’s eyes lit up in surprise, with the vigor and innocence of a young man.

“Director, Luo Niannian’s role…” Youlan couldn’t help asking.

Seeing that all of them had pa.s.sed the audition, Youlan couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Zhang Jian and Shao Yuxi were still fine. Ever since Lu Xiuse’s fall, Yuxi had taken over her position and became one of the top flowers.

Her acting skills were not too bad either. She was able to play a role in a group film like “Under The Starry Sky,” where she did not have many scenes, so she was up to it.
