In the entertainment industry, I only like making movies.

Chapter 55 The Crushing Blow of the Big Flower

.......

Audition room.

Fang Yi gently smoothed a corner of the script in his hand. Zhao Wenzhuo had just received a candidate evaluation, and although he tried his best to suppress his excitement, he still revealed some flaws.

The martial arts practitioner used a little force to crumple the A4 paper.

It really suits Jiang Fang.

Fang Yi murmured to himself, deciding to look around some more. If he couldn't find anyone he was satisfied with, he would settle on Zhao Wenzhuo.

He checked the time and waved for an actor to come in.

Donnie Yen, Sun Honglei, Yu Rongguang—one after another, stars auditioned for leading roles and then left.

Some people wait for three to five minutes, while others wait for ten minutes or more.

Until 11 a.m., about 20 male celebrities came to Fang Yi one by one, giving him the feeling of being called upon to command troops.

Each character has a different image and performance style, ranging from masculine to feminine, domineering, refined, charming, and roguish, encompassing almost all the characteristics of men.

Among so many actors, only Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Ruofu, and Zhang Hanyu received a score of six or higher and were selected as candidates for the male lead.

Fang Yi had made up his mind. Ignoring Wang Zhonglei, who was praising Zhang Hanyu, he took advantage of the remaining time to audition for the female lead.

Xiao Wang and Zhang Hanyu are good brothers; they forged a deep friendship together on the set of the TV series "Endless".

Xiao Wang put in a lot of effort to get Zhang Hanyu a role in "Assembly" (集结号).

When Feng Xiaogang saw this, he thought, "Well... capital chooses people, and I, as the director, can't just stand by and watch."

They directly chose Deng Chao to play the second male lead, Zhao Erdou, squeezing out Huang Xiaoming, who was originally slated for the role at Huayi Brothers.

The rivalry between Deng Xiaoping and Xiaoming for the top spot became known to the outside world around this time.

Fortunately, neither of them were aggressive, so they did not become enemies because of this. Instead, they used the competition to rise to the top and become one of the pillars of the Chinese film industry.

Fang Yi had no problem with Zhang Hanyu, but felt that his voice was too deep and that he lacked height and explosive power.

……

Knock knock knock...

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Fan Bingbing pushed open the door and walked in with a bright smile.

"Director, Eighth Master, Young Master Wang, Director Chen, Director Li."

Sister Fan stood three meters away, greeting everyone with a natural and confident demeanor, as if she knew the place well and was completely at ease.

That's true, auditioning at Huayi is pretty much the same as auditioning at home.

"Bingbing, why do you look like you're here to have fun?"

"Your attitude isn't right."

When Wang Zhonglei heard her address him as "Little Boss Wang," he pretended to be angry and gave her a sidelong glance.

Chen Ran and Li Bing remained unmoved, having become immune to this guy's words. Whenever an artist from Huayi came in, Xiao Wang would always be the first to say a few words.

Whether affirming or joking, they seemed afraid everyone wouldn't know the visitors were from Huayi Group.

Fang Yi was speechless, thinking to himself that Xiao Wang was really a pest, always up to his little tricks.

Since we're both in Huayi, I'll take care of him if I can.

He glanced at Sister Fan and cut to the chase: "Just finished playing a pretty face, got hooked?"

"hey-hey.."

Fan Bingbing puffed out her chest, blinked her foxy eyes twice, and said with unusual confidence, "Director, didn't you want a great beauty?"

What do you think of me?

Fang Yi exclaimed that he couldn't take it anymore, as the words had a double meaning.

Fairy!

Wang Zhonglei, Chen Ran, and Li Bing all wore ambiguous expressions, especially the two women, who looked quite strange.

Everyone says that the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses are bold and far ahead of other female stars, and seeing them today, I can confirm that they are indeed extraordinary.

She flirted with the director during the audition; what a heroine!

Master Yuan remained calm and composed, his eyes half-closed, displaying an attitude of indifference that it was none of his business.

Deep down, he was also shocked by Fan Bingbing's actions.

Damn it...

Even female celebrities in Hong Kong aren't this bold. No wonder she's called Bingbing; she's a worthy opponent to Cecilia Cheung and the like.

Fang Yi took a light breath and stared at Fan Bingbing: "You've really decided to play Yan Qingwu?"

"That's right, I really want to act!"

Fan Bingbing looked confident, thinking to herself, "Who would want to play a pretty face? If it weren't for getting on your boat, I'd still be sleeping in at home right now."

Fine!

Fang Yi nodded, took out the entire script for the female lead Yan Qingwu and gave it to her, too lazy to bother with the audition.

"Visit the kindergarten when you have time, and learn how to be a good mother."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back, Director."

Fan Bingbing took the script, waved and bowed in thanks, then turned and left with a smug look on her face.

"Wait a moment!"

Fang Yi called out to her, pointing to a stool: "Sit for a few minutes before you leave."

"Boring."

Fan Bingbing was indignant; all she wanted was to go out and show off, making those beauties outside envious and jealous.

Fang Yi laughed and pointed out, "It's good to keep a low profile."

"clear."

Fan Bingbing let it go in one ear and out the other, clearly not taking it in.

In her view, the world of female celebrities should be this direct, and they should be arrogant when they gain power.

Rather than being bullied and trampled by your opponents when you are in power, it is better to enjoy the joy of victory when you are in power.

If you have the opportunity, crush your opponent; if you don't have the opportunity, create one to crush your opponent.

Women are different from men; they cannot forgive and forget with a smile.

Celebrity best friends are nothing but fake friendships.

These words are regarded as golden rules by Fan Bingbing and more than 80% of female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

.......

Ten minutes later, Fan Bingbing exuded an aura of power and strode out of the room with the gait of a queen.

In the hallway, a group of assistants were waiting, and they quickly avoided her gaze when they saw her come out.

Her assistant rushed over and asked, "Sis, how is it?"

"Got it, let's go!"

"YES!"

The assistant cheered and escorted his boss through the crowd, behaving himself properly and without any of the bad habits of abusing his power.

The other assistants looked at the two of them, sighing inwardly and their faces full of regret.

Their boss was eliminated before even auditioning!

"The next audition role is for the second female lead, Li Mingyue."

The staff's voices came through, and the assistants snapped out of their daze, looking towards the large conference room, awaiting their boss's decision.

Should I take the role of the second female lead?

Splash...

In the large conference room, a large group of popular female stars got up and left.

Playing a decorative role is fine, after all, she's the female lead in a 5000 million yuan production. But a supporting role is not acceptable; they can't afford to lose face.

Soon, only young and beautiful female celebrities who weren't famous enough remained in the large conference room.

Qin Lan, Zeng Li, Yan Danchen, Tang Yan, Tong Lei, Jiang Xin, and Yang Xue, an artist from Huayi.

The seven actresses looked at each other, none of them daring to be the first to audition.

If Chen Ran and Li Bing were to see this scene, they would probably shake their heads in disbelief.

That's nothing compared to Fan Bingbing!

Seeing that no one moved, he grabbed Chen Zhixi, who was guiding the female artists through the audition, and came in to call out.

"Qin Lan, you're the first to audition!"

"Received, it's here..."

Qin Lan was taken aback, picked up her small bag, stood up, and walked out of the conference room, leaving behind a fragrant breeze.

.......

The audition ended around 4 p.m.

Aside from the dazzling and enjoyable feeling that the young female celebrities gave Fang Yi, he was exhausted during the day's work.

He packed his things, instructed Chen Hui to book a hotel, arranged for the actors to stay and study the script, and then walked out of the audition room with a shoulder bag on his back.

Chen Zhixi and Qian Fei were waiting, chatting idly.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm off, time to go home!"

Fang Yi walked over and gave a reminder, then stretched and left.

"Mr. Fang."

The two women followed, and Chen Zhixi held the elevator button for them, saying, "Lin Yi told me that she has selected a group of promising new employees these past few days and asked when you would have time to interview them in person."

"The people selected this time all have relevant film crew work experience. One of them studied law and is a very good artist. Lin Yi said that this person can draw storyboards and is the kind of art talent our studio needs."

Studying law or art/painting?

Could that bastard be Guo Fan...?

Fang Yi thought about it and became interested, so he decided to go and see for himself.

"Let's do it the day after tomorrow. Have her send a notice to these people, telling them to be at the studio at 2 PM the day after tomorrow. Latecomers will not be accepted."

"OK!"

Chen Zhixi took out her phone and called Lin Yi, who was still at get off work, to inform her of Fang Yi's decision.
