No matter how angry and irritable Director Sun was, his anger did not affect Jiahe Entertainment at all.
After last night’s battle, the movie “Overnight Riches” gained popularity. Some people were still hesitant to audition for this movie, but now they were actively signing up, afraid of missing the opportunity.
Some people with connections were inquiring about the movie’s situation through various channels within Jiahe Entertainment. Even Zhang Mingen received calls from acquaintances.
With Su Lingwei’s approval, the preparation team for the movie “Overnight Riches” was quickly formed.
They received a large number of audition materials every day.
The preparation team did not have specific requirements for the actors to be selected, whether they were new actors, actors with a certain reputation, or amateurs who had never acted before.
As long as they submitted their materials, they received audition notices.
Su Lingwei had her own thoughts on doing this. She wanted to gather all the actors from the movie “Overnight Riches” from her previous life, but she couldn’t remember who exactly was in the movie.
So, she wanted to use this method to attract more people to audition, maybe she would meet the people she wanted.
The hot search on Weibo was doing well, and there were many people submitting audition materials. Su Lingwei roughly looked through those materials and actually found several familiar faces.
Not bad, not bad.
Su Lingwei was very satisfied with this result. She had selected these people, and now she only lacked the female lead and three or four other key actors.
The day of the audition arrived quickly, and many people came. Su Lingwei, along with director Han Zhiguo, male lead Xu Dingjun, and assistant director Jiang Yinglong, were responsible for the auditions.
Among the people Su Lingwei had selected before, there were supporting actors who had acted in several plays, film academy students who had never acted in a play, and extras who had purely worked at major studios.
However, their audition results were just as good as Su Lingwei had imagined, completely in line with the character settings in the movie.
Director Han Zhiguo also agreed with Su Lingwei’s ideas and quickly finalized the cast.
After nearly a day of auditions in the morning and afternoon, Su Lingwei and the others finally finalized most of the satisfactory actors, leaving only the female lead to be selected.
After the last audition, Su Lingwei made a mark on the materials and asked the staff next to her, “Are there still people outside?”
The staff member went out to check and came back, saying, “No, everyone who came today has finished their auditions.”
Su Lingwei nodded and said, “Then let’s end it here for today. Everyone has worked hard.”
She glanced at the time on her phone, it was already past six in the evening, and then continued, “Director Han, let’s have a meal together later and discuss the issue of the cast. What do you think?”
Han Zhiguo immediately agreed. It wasn’t easy for him to earn Su Lingwei’s appreciation. He cherished this opportunity and was eager to work actively to repay Su Lingwei.
Not to mention having a meal and discussing the cast, even if he was not given a meal and asked to work overtime, he would be willing to do it.
Xu Dingjun and assistant director Jiang Yinglong also immediately agreed. Everyone was very enthusiastic about their work.
“Let’s go. I have reserved a table at Fumanlou.” Su Lingwei led everyone out.
The audition venue was on the third floor meeting room of Jiahe Entertainment. Su Lingwei, Xu Dingjun, Han Zhiguo, and Jiang Yinglong walked out of the meeting room and headed towards the direction of the elevator.
The elevator came up from the lower floor and stopped on the third floor.
Just as the door opened, a girl with a ponytail, wearing a white printed T-shirt on her upper body and jeans on her lower body, rushed out of the elevator.
She looked like she had come from a long way, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
With an anxious expression on her palm-sized face, she hurried forward, not even looking ahead, and bumped into Su Lingwei who was in the front.
“Sorry, sorry.”
The girl accidentally bumped into Su Lingwei and quickly apologized to her.
“It’s okay.” In the instant she raised her head, Su Lingwei saw a pretty face.
On the palm-sized small face were bright almond eyes, eyebrows like distant mountains, a straight and delicate nose, and a red cherry mouth without any artificial traces, completely natural.
What surprised Su Lingwei even more was that she recognized her.
This girl was none other than the female lead, Yu Wanyuan, who starred in the movie “Overnight Riches” in her previous life.
It’s really lucky to get something without any effort.
Su Lingwei was overjoyed in her heart, and there was more smile in her eyes as she asked warmly, “Are you in such a hurry to come for the audition?”
Yu Wanyuan saw that Su Lingwei was beautiful and capable, and there were several people behind her. One of the men she had already recognized was Xu Dingjun, who played the male lead in the movie “Overnight Riches”. Presumably, the man next to him who was about the same age must be director Han Zhiguo.
An idea popped into Yu Wanyuan’s mind. If she guessed correctly, the beautiful woman standing in front of her was Su Lingwei, the president of Jiahe Entertainment.
This was a rare opportunity, Yu Wanyuan thought to herself. She must try her best to perform well and leave a deep impression on Su Lingwei.
Thinking like this, Yu Wanyuan nodded hurriedly and explained the reason for her lateness to Su Lingwei.
“My name is Yu Wanyuan, I came from Yuncheng to participate in the audition. The plane was delayed today, so I came late.” Saying this, Yu Wanyuan looked at Su Lingwei anxiously and asked, “Has the audition already ended? Can I have another chance?”
Su Lingwei smiled at her.
Before she could speak, she heard Yu Wanyuan say eagerly again, “President Su, can you just give me five minutes?”
Hearing Yu Wanyuan calling her President Su, Su Lingwei’s eyebrows raised slightly, showing more interest, and she asked, “How did you recognize me?”
Yu Wanyuan glanced at Xu Dingjun behind Su Lingwei.
The expression on her face already explained everything. “At first, I didn’t recognize you, but I recognized him. He is Xu Dingjun, the male lead you personally selected. There are videos of him singing online, and I have watched them many, many times. I’m deeply impressed by him.”
Su Lingwei couldn’t help but laugh. She turned to Xu Dingjun and said, “Male lead, you have left a deep impression on people.”
Han Zhiguo and the others also laughed. Xu Dingjun’s handsome face also showed a smile.
“It’s my honor to be remembered.” Xu Dingjun said generously and friendly.
“You are really handsome.” Yu Wanyuan said seriously.
“Thank you.” Xu Dingjun politely smiled.
Su Lingwei couldn’t help but smile beside them, thinking that Xu Dingjun really had the talent to be a male lead and even an award-winning actor. Just by his looks, he could leave a lasting impression on people. This was really a gift from heaven.
