In the actor area, sisters Qin Xiaoyuan and Qin Xiaorou sat together, with the Shen Qingfeng siblings beside them.
These two sisters were the "Four Young Flowers" of the film and television industry.
Besides Zhang Qingyun, they had the highest status present.
Therefore, many people around cast curious glances at them.
Everyone speculated that these two sisters were definitely going for the female lead role.
However, whether the sisters would compete for one role or each get a role, they couldn't be sure.
"Sister, are you sure you want to audition for Lin Yue Ru?" Qin Xiaorou whispered into Qin Xiaoyuan's ear.
"If you don't want to, I can not go," Qin Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm auditioning for Zhao Ling'er, and 'Brother Xiaoyao' ultimately chose me, meaning I won in the end," Qin Xiaorou chuckled.
"I really didn't mean to compete with you..." Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned and quickly said.
After the incident before, the sisters had a good talk and their relationship had mended. However, Qin Xiaoyuan was still a bit cautious when interacting with her sister.
"I was just joking. We're good sisters. It was my fault before for being stubborn. I've figured it all out now, so don't be so sensitive, Sister..." Qin Xiaorou said with a hint of annoyance.
"Alright then, I'm going up," Qin Xiaoyuan said, amused that her sister was comforting her instead.
"Good luck. I want to be in the same production as you, Sister," Qin Xiaorou said.
"Don't worry, your sister is known for her acting skills," Qin Xiaoyuan said with a confident smile.
Although she was called a "traffic star," she had been acting since she was a child star, making her a veteran. Her acting skills were always her pride.
Qin Xiaoyuan's acting skills were indeed good.
She had also studied the characteristics of the character Lin Yue Ru, so during her audition, she portrayed two styles of Lin Yue Ru: early and late stage.
Gu Qianqian, due to her best friend, didn't particularly like Qin Xiaoyuan. However, from the director's perspective, she fully affirmed Qin Xiaoyuan's acting skills.
Su Yu also nodded in agreement. Qin Xiaoyuan's appearance was impeccable, and her acting was also very good. She had her own understanding of the role of Lin Yue Ru, and at present, she was very suitable.
"Hehe, thank you, Master. Thank you, Director Gu." Qin Xiaoyuan called Su Yu "Master," which she learned from her fiancé, Shen Qingfeng. This also showed respect to Gu Qianqian.
This brought a smile to Gu Qianqian's face.
Next was her sister Qin Xiaorou's audition.
She passed very smoothly.
Her acting skills were no less than her elder sister Qin Xiaoyuan's.
These two sisterly beauties were both talented actresses who had studied their respective roles diligently.
After their auditions were approved.
It was time for the final male lead, Li Xiaoyao's role.
Zhang Qingyun's face finally showed a smile.
He stood up from his seat and yawned.
The female leads were the Qin sisters, and he was even more determined to get the male lead role.
Moreover, he was the only one auditioning for the male lead on-site, so there was no suspense.
Under everyone's gaze, he walked onto the stage with a confident smile.
"Hello, Director. My name is Zhang Qingyun." He looked at Gu Qianqian and then winked. He felt much more relaxed inwardly.
When a young girl is the director, on set, he would be the one calling the shots.
He could add some intimate scenes then, and cut out tiring scenes. Such scenes were more comfortable to film.
"Uh... please begin your performance." Gu Qianqian felt a wave of nausea upon receiving his wink.
Although Zhang Qingyun was good-looking, he was nowhere near Su Yu's level.
Furthermore, Gu Qianqian knew his reputation in the industry, such as using body doubles for back shots and relying on post-dubbing for lines he didn't memorize, which made her even more disgusted with him.
Of course, Zhang Qingyun on stage didn't notice her discomfort.
Instead, he coughed twice and began his performance.
"My name is Li Xiaoyao. I... I want to be a hero." Zhang Qingyun originally remembered Li Xiaoyao's lines, but in a daze, he forgot a lot.
However, he didn't take it seriously and just casually acted out a few scenes provided by his assistant.
He had put in effort this time, and he believed the director and the people from Xinghui had seen his sincerity.
"Stop."
Suddenly, Su Yu put down the actor's profile he was holding and stopped Zhang Qingyun's performance.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qingyun asked Su Yu doubtfully after stopping.
He recognized Su Yu as the hottest producer right now, with immense influence in the Chinese music scene.
Although they were not in the same circle, Zhang Qingyun still smiled at Su Yu.
Perhaps he would develop in the Chinese music scene someday, and then he could have Su Yu write a song for him. With his popularity, he could immediately establish himself in the music industry.
"I'm sorry, you're not suitable." As Zhang Qingyun's thoughts drifted to accepting an award on the stage of the Chinese music scene, Su Yu's voice rang out.
Zhang Qingyun was stunned.
"What did you say?" He thought he had misheard.
"I said you're not suitable." Su Yu frowned. Did this person have hearing problems?
Thinking this, he directly drew a cross on the profile.
Su Yu's decision caused a stir in the room.
"No, did you make a mistake? I'm Zhang Qingyun." Although Zhang Qingyun found it hard to believe, he still introduced himself with a smile.
I am the current hottest top-tier celebrity.
You're telling me I'm not suitable?
Are you kidding me?
"I know," Su Yu nodded.
He had seen this person's profile.
"Then why do you say I'm not suitable..." Zhang Qingyun suddenly thought of something. "Is it about the salary? I can reduce it to 150 million."
"150 million?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
He quickly picked up the stack of actor profiles again and looked at the salary column.
Salary: 180 million
Upon seeing Zhang Qingyun's desired salary, he instantly lost his composure.
He had dismissed Zhang Qingyun directly after seeing his terrible acting skills earlier, without paying attention to his salary.
Now, seeing this, he felt like cursing.
Was this guy trying to rob them?
Xie Hao, who had auditioned for Jiu Jian Xian earlier and was an experienced actor with explosive skills, only asked for over 800,000, and this guy dared to ask for 180 million?
However, Su Yu's actions were interpreted differently by Zhang Qingyun. He thought Su Yu was surprised by his generosity, and then he smiled and explained, "Actually, I really like this role, so the salary can be negotiated..."
Before he could finish, Su Yu interrupted him, "No need, you're really not suitable."
Zhang Qingyun was completely dumbfounded.
Why wouldn't he agree even after he offered to reduce his salary?
"You're not the director..."
Before Zhang Qingyun could finish, Gu Qianqian interrupted him again, "You're not suitable."
This time, he completely lost face and turned to Zhao Yuan next to him, "Ms. Zhao, you guys..."
"If he says you're not suitable, then you're not suitable."
Zhao Yuan doted on Su Yu immensely.
Before Zhang Qingyun could finish speaking, Zhao Yuan coldly interrupted him.
She didn't give him any face.
The actors below had recovered from their brief shock, and a clamor and discussion erupted.
Zhang Qingyun, the popular top-tier star of the film and television industry, was rejected by the Xianjian production crew!
Moreover, he was rejected even after he voluntarily offered to reduce his salary!
Three consecutive "you're not suitable" not only stunned Zhang Qingyun but also bewildered the actors who were auditioning.
This production crew seemed different from what they understood!
