Chapter 58 - 58 The Newcomer
58 The Newcomer
Yu Han was not a newcomer in the industry. Of course, she knew that there were such people everywhere. She just sighed casually. “Don’t worry, this is acting. It’s my job. I’ll definitely take it seriously.”
The two of them walked into the audition building together as they spoke.
What they did not know was that there was a person lying on a chair on the other side of the bushes. After seeing them leave, he sat up from the chair. He was the director of this movie, Bai Chao.
Bai Chao stroked his rather sparse hair and put on a sun hat. He looked in the direction of the audition building and smiled roguishly. “A third-rate director?” Hmph, then he would let her see with her own eyes how impressive he was as a third-rate director.
However, the other girl had a good attitude. He wondered how her acting was.
After they all entered, Wei Wei’s manager suddenly ran out of the building anxiously. Then, he looked around and his eyes suddenly lit up. He ran towards a MPV.
“Hello, CEO Zhao. This way, please.” He opened the car door with a fawning expression and welcomed a middle-aged man.
CEO Zhao patted his stomach and asked him, “Is Weiwei alright today?”
The manager smiled bitterly. “She’s just having a tantrum.”
CEO Zhao didn’t mind. “She’s still young and delicate, so she’s a little impatient. Keep an eye on her.”
“Yes, yes. I didn’t look away from her at all. It’s just that she’s not willing to listen to me.” The middle-aged man was a little helpless.
“It’s fine. I’m here. I’ll comfort her and bring her to greet the director. Make sure she’s comfortable on set during this period of time.”
The manager wiped his sweat and looked happy. “I’m much more at ease with you around. Weiwei listens to you the most.” Of course, this was a lie. Although Wei Wei had gained a lot of benefits by relying on CEO Zhao, she actually didn’t think much of him and said a lot of disdainful words to her manager in private.
It was just that she could not climb up to a better status now, so she had no choice but to feign civility and continue to flatter CEO Zhao.
But CEO Zhao didn’t know. He really thought that he was very charming, so he was very satisfied with this flattery. After all, which sugar daddy didn’t want his little lover to miss him?
He waved his hand. “Let’s go find Weiwei.”
In the audition hall, Yu Han sat in her seat and looked at the people around her curiously. All of them were handsome men and beautiful women who were fighting for a role. They were gathered here, anxiously waiting for an opportunity in a small web drama that even an unpopular celebrity like Wei Wei did not fancy.
He Meng saw her looking around. “Are you nervous about your first audition?”
Yu Han shook her head. “No, I’m just a little curious.” After all, she was a hacker in her previous life. She was just an amateur who played minor roles. She was not like the others who carried their dreams as they rushed to audition in various production teams.
A minor character like her who had no desires, could just wait for the group leaders to assign her work. If there was work to do, she would do it. If there was nothing to do, she would stay where she was.
He Meng nodded to show that she understood. “It’s your first time, so everything is new. You’ll get used to it after you go for more auditions.” After that, people would easily become numb to auditions. After all, there were only so many resources in the industry, and so many outstanding art school candidates appeared one after another every year. Hence, very few people could get important roles through the auditions. Many dramas had even been divided up by the various investor platforms before they were exposed.
Only these smaller production teams were not that involved, so they could give newbies with no background more opportunities.
“Hello, do you have any tissues?” A girl behind her suddenly called out to Yu Han.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Yu Han turned around and saw a delicate girl with a small palm-sized face that had some baby fat. She was holding her stomach with both hands and frowning with a tolerant expression.
“I’m nervous and have diarrhea, but the cleaning lady seems to have forgotten to change the tissues in the bathroom on this floor.” She was embarrassed to say that she had just run to the toilet several times and used up all the tissues in a few cubicles.
Yu Han hurriedly took out a packet of tissues for her. “Then go quickly.”
After the girl took it, she thanked her and quickly ran out. It was obvious that she was very anxious.
Yu Han smiled. “Looks like she’s about the same as me. She’s a newcomer who just stepped into this industry.”
Unexpectedly, the girl ran back quickly and leaned against the back of her chair. She looked at her with sparkling eyes and suppressed her excitement. “Excuse me, are you Yu Han?”
