That afternoon.
Shang Lu was taking a nap when he suddenly received a call from Meng Zhichuan, saying that two endorsements and film and television drama resources were bundled and delivered to his door.
This fantasy idol drama is adapted from a well-known novel IP, and the production team can say that it will at least be a small hit once it is filmed.
Shang Lu initially thought that if the schedule was not a problem, she could consider it, after all, she had never played the leading female role in such an idol drama.
After seeing the next two endorsements, Shanglu felt something was wrong.
I searched on Baidu and found that it is indeed a merchant's industry.
Obviously, they also gave her the leading female role.
Although Shang Lu didn't understand what happened on Shang An's fiftieth birthday, she refused without hesitation.
Meng Zhichuan's voice was puzzled: "Why? Don't you consider such a good resource?"
Shang Lu was too lazy to talk to him about the mess at home. After all, she herself didn't understand it very well. She simply said, "No schedule. I should be joining the team next month. I still need training before joining the team."
Shang Lu lowered his head, raised the corners of his lips, and did not hide his smile.
The fairy-tale idol drama mentioned earlier was thrown out of Meng Zhichuan's mind. Even with two endorsements, it seemed unattractive. Originally, it was indeed a good resource that young actresses would fight over, but compared with Song Zeqian's movie! It's nothing! Anyone with a brain would know what to choose!
The next second, the call was hung up.
After successfully auditioning, she was so happy that she was busy studying the script every day and forgot to tell Meng Zhichuan.
The new movie has caused a huge sensation online since the official Weibo account was established. I don’t know how many media companies are eyeing this piece of fat meat and want to get their own artists in, even if it’s just to use their looks.
The call was hung up directly.
One minute later.
But this is also a very crucial challenge for Song Zeqian. No matter how brilliant his past achievements were, if this movie is still unsatisfactory, two consecutive flops will be the time to pull him down from the altar.
[When I prayed to Buddha at the beginning of the year, I made a wish that your career would be smooth this year. It seems to have really come true! I am leaving! I am going to fulfill my wish! ]
Although they don't have ranking problems... But that's Song Zeqian's movie! The protagonist among protagonists! What does this represent? Once the film festival nominations are given, Shang Lu will be the best actress. Shang Lu's performance will directly crush all the young actresses of the same age. Even five or ten years later, few stars can be compared with her.
Meng Zhichuan jumped up from the sofa excitedly.
On Friday night.
But Meng Zhichuan patted his head to make sure he was not dreaming and asked, "Is it Song Zeqian's new movie Evil? You are not playing one of the five protagonists, are you?"
Wait, she said that she always felt like she had forgotten something recently.
This is equivalent to Song Zeqian's "last stand", he can only win and not lose, and everyone has high hopes for it.
Shang Lu yawned while lying on the bed and asked, "What are you doing?"
Meng Zhichuan's voice trembled: "Haven't you already turned down Han Cheng's play? What group are you going to join next month? How come I didn't know? Did you find a new agent outside without telling me?"
Shang Lu seized the opportunity: "It's Song Zeqian's crew."
This series of questions left Shang Lu silent.
Shang Lu: “?”
Song Zeqian’s studio posted a Weibo post stating that he would be absent from the recording of the tenth episode of “The Most Hated Her and Him” due to schedule reasons.
*
“Beep—”
Why did it hang up again? What was the reason this time
Meng Zhichuan sent a WeChat message soon.
Meng Zhichuan stopped his chattering and had a very familiar expression on his face. Most people could not roll their eyes at this kind of mockery that came from the depths of their souls.
Shang Lu nodded and said, "I will play the youngest sister."
Meng Zhichuan said seriously: "I want to make sure that you are Shang Lu, not some scam information. You are not going to tell me that I need to pay millions of training fees before joining Song Zeqian's crew? Although you are Shang Lu, oh, you may not be, now the scam methods are said to be able to forge videos..."
Song Zeqian has always been low-key and does not like publicity.
She will not let Song Zeqian down, nor will she disappoint Meng Zhichuan. She will make her fans even more proud. She wants to be and will become a good actor.
As someone who has read the synopsis, he naturally knows that the role played by Shang Lu is simply the protagonist among protagonists.
Meng Zhichuan on the other end of the phone got anxious: "You accepted it yourself? What job? Which crew? Is it reliable? Have you signed the contract? Don't sell yourself out and let others count the money. Can you please not make such an impulsive decision? Discuss anything with me first... cough cough!"
Shang Lu could only explain: "I don't have a new agent, I took the job myself, it's..."
Meng Zhichuan called again, this time via WeChat video.
that side.
She will definitely give her all.
Meng Zhichuan: “…”
Not to mention the official photos, his movies usually only release one photo right before they are released, and the protagonist may not even be on the screen.
Before going to audition with Song Zeqian, Shang Lu was worried that he would not be chosen, so he naturally did not make a big fuss about it and did not tell Meng Zhichuan.
Although the itinerary was not explicitly stated, netizens already had an idea of it.
Shang Lu: “???”
At this time, Shang Lu finally realized that what Song Zeqian said during the first recording of "The Most Hated Her and Him" was not arrogance, but that he had the ability to do so in the film industry.
Shang Lu rolled his eyes.
[Because Director Song is busy casting! This means the new movie is really coming this time! ]
[I am so excited that tears are about to flow out, Director Song, the film industry depends on you to save it! ]
[Director Song's work has been accumulating for several years. I will buy a ticket no matter what.]
Some people are also curious about what kind of actors will be involved in Song Zeqian's movie this time.
The comments section was full of speculation based on the recruitment announcement from the official Weibo account of "Evil", ranging from best actresses and best actors to the most outstanding freshmen in the film academy in recent years.
At this moment, the number of followers of the official Weibo of "Evil" suddenly increased from zero to four, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
[All his attention]: Song Zeqian V, Shang Lu, Jiang Jing, Xu Ze.
The marketing account will move it immediately.
Entertainment Daily V: "Evil" has four new followers, and the actors chosen by Song Zeqian for his new movie are actually these! [Picture]
Netizens: “!!!”
[Is this what I understood? Is this true? ]
[As an old fan of Director Song, I can tell you that Director Song’s movies will not have any official announcements before the release date is confirmed. Generally, apart from Reuters, the official blog only focuses on the cast list.]
[So this is the cast list? Jiang Jing, Shang Lu, Xu Ze? They are all familiar faces! ]
Some people have raised questions about Shanglu.
[I can understand Jiang Jing, her ability is beyond doubt. Xu Ze should also change his role. He had a rural TV series before, although he only had a few episodes, his acting was pretty good. My dad loved watching it. As for Shang Lu... I'm not saying that her acting is bad, it's just that she's not suitable.]
[She is a natural born princess, how could she possibly play such a lowly character well?]
Most of the doubts about Shang Lu are not about his acting skills, but about his suitability for the role.
Because whether it is Jiang Jing or Xu Ze, they both have very famous "little man" type roles, but Shang Lu does not.
Donut directly threw out a collection of Shanglu’s acting clips from earlier years.
She has played the roles of a hairdresser and a nanny. Although her acting skills were not superb when she first debuted, she did a great job in paying attention to details.
With timid eyes and a gentle and flattering smile, her eyes were red from being scolded by the guest, her hands were trembling slightly, but she dared not speak, and could only wipe away her tears silently when she turned around. Lying in the nanny's room of the host's house, counting the few red banknotes sandwiched in the English book, thinking that she could save enough money to take the college entrance examination again, her eyes were filled with hope for the future.
These characters were all played very well, but because the TV show itself is not well-known, not many people pay attention to it.
Eat a Donut V: You said Shang Lu can't act? I think you are looking at her with a stereotype.
The fans also became angry.
[When it comes to Shang Lu’s acting skills, we’ve never been afraid!]
[The actor's works and roles are the strongest rebuttal. Shang Lu was chosen by three directors, Han Chengyue, Qi Song and Zeqian. What are you questioning?]
Passersby also had a better impression of Shanglu because of this video collection.
[Shang Lu is indeed a better actress than I thought... Her performance is really immersive. The scene where she hid the money almost brought tears to my eyes. I felt like I was seeing a girl’s desire for the future.]
[I believe in Song Zeqian’s casting. Even when his script failed in his last movie, the actors didn’t fail.]
[Song Zeqian: Are you polite?!]
Among these comments, there is one that seems abrupt and out of place.
Han Cheng V: “?”
Comment and forward.
[Director Han Cheng? What kind of reaction is this? Is there something fishy?! ]
[Does Director Han think this casting is inappropriate? ]
Some black fans appeared and started to speculate and stir up trouble.
[Does anyone remember that screenwriter Yu Qi once said that she wanted to work with Shanglu again, but Han Cheng’s new drama is about to start filming and there is still no news from Shanglu]
[She must have regretted it later when she realized Shang Lu was not good enough, so now she can’t understand why Song Zeqian still uses her]
[I said Xu Ze and Shang Lu are not good enough, but Director Song has also started to use traffic. The domestic entertainment industry is doomed! ]
Han Cheng quickly responded to this with a Weibo post.
Han Cheng V: Last Friday, Shanglu rejected my new drama. I was depressed and went to Song Zeqian for dinner and drinks, and asked him whether I should try Shanglu again. Song Zeqian persuaded me for a long time and told me that Shanglu was not suitable for my new drama. I listened and believed it. But today I found out that this grandson sent his new script to Shanglu that night without my knowledge [smile]
The comments were all hahahaha.
[Help me, Director Han Cheng, do you feel like you’ve been fooled?]
[My Unfavorable Friend and I, starring: Song Zeqian & Han Cheng (in no particular order)]
[Director Song, it turns out that Shang Lu was the woman you got by using dirty tricks, hahahaha]
[Director Han Cheng showed us what it means to make careless friends! ]
To this.
Song Zeqian also replied, as aloof as ever.
[You are a director, not an actor, so you can have less scenes. I just gave her an audition opportunity.]
The implication is also very simple.
He just gave her an audition opportunity, and in the end Shang Lu was chosen to perform because of her own efforts.
However, because of Han Cheng and Song Zeqian's responses, netizens also grasped the key point.
[Some people actually said that Shanglu is not worthy of Director Song’s movie. I laughed so hard. They are slapped in the face.]
[Han Cheng doesn’t dislike Shang Lu, he just likes him too much, understand? ]
[That is to say, even if Shang Lu can't get Director Song's movie, her retreat is Director Han's TV series. Damn, I can only say that Shang Lu is awesome]
[So most of the main actors are annoying people! Where are you guys doing team building? ]
[It feels more interesting! Looking forward to the behind-the-scenes footage of the crew! ]
*
the other side.
Merchant.
After learning that all the resources he sent were rejected, Shang An frowned and asked, "She acts impulsively. Is her company also so stupid?"
How could you be willing to refuse such film pay and endorsement fees
The assistant lowered his head, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Shang An sneered again and said, "She just wants to save face. You should go there more often to give her this step. It's hard for an actor of her level to get access to better resources than this."
Shang An also got to know his daughter a little bit. She had been playing supporting roles recently, even the second female lead in a movie. She guessed that the company did not give her any good resources.
The assistant mustered up the courage to say, "It seems that the young lady's new movie has been confirmed. The director is a very famous director in the industry, so... the young lady should really not accept our drama."
Shang An naturally didn't believe it, and just asked: "What director? Can't we give her something better?"
The assistant replied: "Song Zeqian, we contacted him five years ago and wanted to cooperate with him in film investment, but... he was rejected at that time."
Shang An's expression turned cold. He looked at the medicine on the table and said after a long while, "Get out."
*
There was a lot of discussion about this matter on the Internet. The next day, the tenth episode of "The Most Hated Her and Him" was officially recorded. Song Zeqian was absent due to casting, but his three leading actors had arrived early and even discussed the script before the official recording began.
Ye Lu grinned and said, "Lin Yanyan, you are so good! Look! You are being excluded by them!"
Lin Yanyan threw a pillow at Ye Lu without hesitation: "Get out! You too!"
Ye Lu was still proud and confident, saying the famous line from the first episode: "I am an idol, not an actor."
[Hahaha, so Ye Lu is the only one who has not forgotten his original intention in this show? ]
[Not necessarily. The flag is set up to be brought down. I bet Ye Lu will act sooner or later.]
[Director Song's flag fell a long time ago. In the first episode, he said that no one except Jiang Jing would appear in his crew. He would never use such a popular artist. But now he not only used her, but also used two at once. Hahahaha]
[Director Song: Fortunately, I didn’t come this episode]
[The real reason why Director Song didn't come has been found!]
Lin Yanyan: “…QAQ?”
Ying, what Ye Lu said seems to make sense.
So what Ye Lu said was actually right. She was the only actress who was not selected by Song Zeqian.
Lin Yanyan actually went to read the script of "Evil". She liked it very much, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to act in it.
Since the filming of "Sweet Cherry" was finished, she has specially invited a teacher to come back to guide her performance, but unfortunately... it seems a little too late.
Most of the time, Lin Yanyan's attitude towards venturing into the entertainment industry was just to have fun as a hobby. At this moment, she began to truly regret wasting time over the years. Although she now knew Song Zeqian, she couldn't even say "give me a chance to audition".
It wasn't that she was afraid of failure, she had never thought about success, but she still felt that compared to others, just trying was embarrassing.
Lin Yanyan pursed her lips, obviously a little disappointed.
Shang Lu noticed it, walked over, held Lin Yanyan's hand, and said, "There will be a drama festival in City A next year. Do you want to go and play some small roles together? It should be fun."
Hearing Shang Lu's words, Lin Yanyan showed a hint of anticipation. She also held Shang Lu's hand and asked, "Can I really do this?"
Shang Lu said: "Of course, but they are just small roles and there is no pay."
Lin Yanyan nodded vigorously: "It doesn't matter, I just... I just want to act."
Lin Yanyan thought about her family. Her father did not approve of her entering the entertainment industry and even said directly that he hoped she would quit the industry as soon as possible and go home to learn financial knowledge.
Lin Yanyan always felt a little unconvinced, but because she was brought up in a pampered state, she knew that her father was just talking and would not really interfere with her choice, so she never took it too seriously.
"Sweet Cherry" has released several different trailers, and Lin Yanyan has also read the reviews about her online.
Many fans and passers-by praised her for her improved acting skills. Some people even said they were a little interested in the show and would watch a few episodes. This made Lin Yanyan very happy.
It turns out that if she works hard, she will be recognized and praised for her progress, which can bring her such a great sense of satisfaction.
It's even happier than... being praised for being pretty. This feeling is really good.
Lin Yanyan held Shang Lu's hand, and her smile suddenly froze.
She looked down, then her expression turned into horror, and she looked at Shang Lu again.
Shang Lu: “… ?”
Shang Lu followed Lin Yanyan's gaze and saw the ring on his index finger.
Because she had a video call with Xiaomi last night, she put on the ring on purpose and forgot to take it off in the morning.
Shang Lu almost never wears any ornaments on her hands, and seldom even has manicures, so the presence of such an ordinary-looking ring is more likely to attract everyone's attention.
Lin Yanyan stretched out her hand to block the ring, but Ye Lu asked first: "Shang Lu, why are you wearing a ring today?"
Shang Lu originally planned to give everyone Xiaomi's gifts after the recording was over, but since it was mentioned, he simply distributed them on the spot and said directly: "These are gifts from the children at home."
Everyone naturally understood, and after receiving the gifts, everyone put them on happily. Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu were even childishly comparing whose necklace was better looking.
Netizens also understood.
[Is it Xiaomi? This “little friend” must be Xiaomi!!!]
[Did Ou Yi almost let something slip in the last interview? The information matches! ]
[Hahaha, Ye Lu directly asked, "What gift does Xiaomi want?" Thank you, Ye Lu, my real slip-of-the-tongue man! ] [Wow, so Shang Lu really took Xiaomi home. I am happy, but who knows?]
Although Song Zeqian was not present in the recording of this episode, everything went on normally.
But everyone always feels that something is missing.
After getting the multiplication table wrong during the game, Ye Lu slapped his head and said, "Why doesn't anyone say that my IQ is above the level of an elementary school student at this time? I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable with this."
"Yeah." Lin Yanyan also knocked down the building blocks, and then said: "No one has mocked me for being clumsy these two days, and I feel like something is missing."
Shang Lu: “…”
Are you masochists
But for some reason, she actually felt a little strangely uncomfortable.
Jiang Jing picked up the chewing gum on the table and said with a smile, "This is what Song Zeqian likes. He took some with him before he left last time."
Even when Xu Ze poured water for everyone, he habitually poured six cups.
The extra cup was placed empty next to it. After the rest of the water was drunk, it was still full, which seemed so abrupt because there was one person missing.
[Hahaha, the first day that Director Song is away, all the annoying members: I miss him]
[I also feel that without Director Song, the show seems to have no soul. Shang Lu’s comments are also interesting but not as toxic.]
[Because Shanglu is a bit polite, although only a little bit]
[The little annoying guests all have different roles. Missing any one of them is like missing a piece of a building block. They are all incomplete! None of them can be missing! ]
[Wow, Director Song, please come back soon! We miss you! We miss you too! ]
Seeing this, the director team said, "It seems that everyone misses Song Zeqian very much. In fact, the recording of this episode has not yet ended. We have a special event, which is to visit Song Zeqian who has not yet finished the audition! Are you happy?"
There was silence at the scene.
Lin Yanyan: "There's a sad drama at 9 o'clock tonight. I've been following it for a long time."
Ye Lu: "There will also be live broadcasts of overseas racing at 9 o'clock! Watch the live broadcast!"
Lin Yanyan: "Watch a sad drama!"
Ye Lu: "Racing cars! So cool! Let's watch the racing cars!"
Shang Lu asked sincerely: "Is there only one electronic device left in this world?"
So what's all the fuss about
Both of them were silent at the same time.
Too.
Jiang Jing was a little hesitant: "I want to go home to be with my daughter."
Shang Lu even declined directly: "I haven't memorized the script yet."
Xu Ze didn't say anything, but he turned around and looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, and his attitude was very obvious.
[Little annoying: It seems like there is some team spirit, but not much]
[Although everyone seems to miss Song Zeqian, forget it if you have to work overtime]
The director's expression was full of embarrassment. Seeing that everyone was so uncooperative, he said directly, "The contract states that we can only leave at 8:30. No one can leave before that time!"
But usually, I would get off work when the session was over, and I had never been so strict about time.
[Hahaha Director: You guys aren’t going to act? Then I won’t act either! Everyone, come visit the set! ]
[Director Song: I hope your program is okay [folded hands]]
Due to work regulations, everyone got on the bus with a "reluctant" expression.
Lin Yanyan suddenly touched her arm and said, "Why am I a little nervous?"
Ye Lu said directly: "After all, I haven't heard him scold us for half a month."
Shang Lu was speechless: "If you were a little more normal, he wouldn't scold you."
As soon as Shang Lu finished speaking, he saw Ye Lu open the loving dinner that the program crew had prepared for Song Zeqian.
Lin Yanyan picked up the cheering banner prepared for Song Zeqian and draped it over herself, then held up a mirror to look at her pretty face and said happily, "This red color makes me look fairer! Do I look like a beauty pageant winner?"
Shang Lu: “…”
How should I put it? It’s not Song Zeqian’s fault. If she were Song Zeqian, she would also scold them. They are really more naughty than each other.
The director team arranged their arrival at a specific time so that the live broadcast would not affect Song Zeqian's normal work, but also would not cause him to miss it.
When six people meet.
Song Zeqian frowned directly: "Why are you here?"
Others: “We don’t want to either.”
[I never expected this scene]
[Shouldn't everyone be so moved and hug each other and say "We can't be apart for even a moment", why are you all so cold? ]
[Even Jiang Jing, she brought some chewing gum for Song Zeqian, but she didn't even take it out? ]
Song Zeqian looked at Lin Yanyan. She was still wearing the red banner, but she was also wearing a light green sportswear. So he said, "The fashion industry needs talents like you."
Then Song Zeqian's eyes fell on the rice on Ye Lu's nose, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Your fans praise you for being as innocent and kind as a child? I think your IQ and actions are about the same."
He looked at Xu Ze.
"Your sudden smile is really a bit scary. The first time I saw you, you were more suitable for my role in the script. If you stay with them, I will have to consider changing my male lead."
Then he looked at Shang Lu.
"Why are you squatting on the roadside and watching the ants? Do you think you can pretend that you don't know them? Shanglu, what era is it now? Are you still trying to cover up your mistakes?"
Finally, Song Zeqian looked at Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing instantly took out a piece of chewing gum from her pocket and handed it to him. She escaped the disaster, but received a reply saying "Go back and read the script. If the performance is not as good as "The Road to Life", we can talk about it again."
[Director Song: I attack each of you equally]
[Within two minutes of getting off the bus, everyone was scolded. It was absolutely amazing]
Lin Yanyan was not angry, but asked in surprise: "Why do I feel like I'm suddenly in a better mood?"
Ye Lu agreed: "Yes, it feels like a stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."
They both looked at Shang Lu, hoping that the only one with brains among the trio would reveal the truth to them.
Shang Lu tore the last bite of bread into crumbs for the ants to carry, then stood up and summarized for them: "The recording of a variety show is incomplete without being scolded by Director Song, just like a sentence must be followed by a period."
Ye Lu & Lin Yanyan: "!!!"
I see!
Song Zeqian: “…”
If you are sick, go to the hospital!
Lin Yanyan immediately handed a corner of the banner to Ye Lu, then pulled the banner back and forth, and the two of them unfolded the banner together and faced Song Zeqian.
Song Zeqian asked directly: "What is this?"
Shang Lu reminded them from behind: "It's the opposite."
Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu worked in perfect harmony and moved the banner up and down together.
Shang Lu: “… the direction is wrong.”
Two people:"?!"
This time the banner was finally placed upright, facing the direction of Song Zeqian.
It says-
All the staff of Little Nasty wish Director Song a smooth casting for his new movie! Good luck with the start of filming!
[The program team also gave up on themselves and accepted this nickname]
Song Zeqian's face darkened.
Shang Lu suddenly understood why he was confronting everyone today: "Is the casting not going well for you?" Song Zeqian did not answer, which meant he agreed.
Shang Lu pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and said with emotion: "It is so sad that you actually took your anger out on us because of something like this, wuwu..."
Song Zeqian looked at her with a fake smile: "Shang Lu, if you dare to act like this when the filming starts, I will definitely change you."
Shang Lu immediately stopped crying and bowed: "I'm sorry, Director Song."
[Shanglu, it turns out that you are the contemporary master of face-changing! ]
[One second you are a dramatic actor, the next second you are sorry, you are worthy of being me]
Song Zeqian looked at them and said, "Come in."
Ye Lu held the lunch box in his hand and said very seriously: "This half is for you. I didn't eat a single bite, really."
Song Zeqian looked at him: "Don't give it to me, eat it all, or I will press it on your face."
Ye Lu was waiting for this sentence, so he just ate while walking, doubling his sense of happiness.
[I can see that Director Song is really irritable hahaha]
[Director Song, calm down! Most of your actors are here.]
Ye Lu came forward again and asked knowingly, "I heard that you asked Shang Lu, Xu Ze and Jiang Jingjie to act in your new movie?"
Song Zeqian didn't even look at him, and just said, "I have never used idols in acting."
Ye Lu said proudly: "Who said I want to act? I just think that after all, we have known each other for such a long time, I will give you a favor. If you want to invite me to the OST of your new movie, I can reluctantly do it..."
Song Zeqian suddenly asked: "How do I contact Yu Su? Are you a team responsible for the handover?"
[Yu Su is really hard to invite]
[But since Shang Lu is in the cast, if Ye Lu were to sing, I think Yu Su would agree]
Ye Lu: “?”
Wasn't he recommending himself? Why did he suddenly mention Yu Su
So Ye Lu added: "Yu Su is very good at writing lyrics and composing music, but I am the lead singer of our group."
Song Zeqian looked at him, and seemed a little hesitant but still said, "Someone has already made an appointment."
Ye Lu: “!”
Who is one step ahead of him
Ye Lu was unwilling: "When did he come?"
Song Zeqian replied: "Ouyi, he came here when he saw the trending search."
Ye Lu: “?”
Why is it him again
[《Fated Rival》]
[Perhaps this is the enemy]
Ye Lu tempted her, "I can give you a discount! We are so familiar with each other, 50% off!"
Song Zeqian chuckled and said, "He's free."
Everyone was silent.
Has Ou Yi reached this point
Ye Lu was also shocked. Ou Yi was free? If he wanted to compete, would he have to work for nothing? That was inappropriate!
Wait, that’s not right. Products at the same price point can compete fairly.
So Ye Lu said: "Then... Then I'll be free too!"
He can compete with Ou Yi in singing skills!
Song Zeqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Deal, it's you."
Ye Lu felt a little embarrassed.
Under the same circumstances, Song Zeqian chose him instead of Ou Yi. Does it prove that in Song Zeqian's eyes he is better than Ou Yi
This is what Ye Lu thought and asked.
Then, Song Zeqian gave him the friendliest smile of his life.
Then Ye Lu heard the devil suddenly speak.
Song Zeqian: "No, because I lied to you. Ou Yi never contacted me."
Ye Lu: “?”
Everyone: “!”
[I'll translate for Song Zeqian. Even though I lied to you, you already promised me it's free. Hahaha]
[Ye Lu's face shows confusion and reflection on this world and human nature]
[But when Song Zeqian said this, no one doubted it (referring to the guests + everyone in the live broadcast room)]
[I am a fan of Ouyi, and I only realized it after Song Zeqian admitted it. Ouyi and his group’s concert will start next week. They are obviously in closed training recently, so it is impossible for them to contact Song Zeqian! This is a lie full of loopholes! ]
[Ou Yi is truly the annoying seventh person, and coupled with his blind worship of Shang Lu, this sounds like something he would do.]
Next, Song Zeqian took them to visit the place where he was working today.
Shang Lu took away a few packets of biscuits as he walked, and ate them openly under Song Zeqian's cold gaze.
Until the end of today's recording.
The staff of the program team finished their work and went back, but Song Zeqian looked at them and said, "Since you are here, take a look at the audition video and give some suggestions."
Shang Lu, Xu Ze, and Jiang Jing: "… "
This shift was added so suddenly, but I can't leave.
Ye Lu just left.
Nonsense, his racing is live! It will be too late if he doesn't go back!
Lin Yanyan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should leave or not.
Shang Lu waved at her: "Yan Yan, wait for me."
"Okay." Lin Yanyan's eyes brightened, and then she hurried over to sit next to Shang Lu, hugging her arm tightly.
Song Zeqian played them a few audition clips for the remaining two roles and said very directly: "These two roles don't have many scenes. I have already compromised my standards, but I still don't see any candidates that satisfy me."
According to the originally scheduled start time, they had to go for training half a month in advance, so the time for selecting actors was very tight.
Jiang Jing didn't quite understand and asked, "I think the actresses who played the second daughters are all pretty good, and they all have a good reputation in the industry. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Song Zeqian looked at Shang Lu and said directly: "You answer it."
Shang Lu: “?”
Ah? Isn't she a spectator? Why did she suddenly add another topic
In an instant, Shang Lu recalled the fear of being determined by a question during the interview that day.
Under Song Zeqian's cold gaze, Shang Lu's brain was working rapidly.
In fact, she also wanted to ask Jiang Jing the same question just now, so from the moment the third actor appeared, she began to pay close attention to comparing and finding their similarities and common shortcomings.
Shang Lu hesitated and said uncertainly, "The reason why this character was spotted by a scout just by working as a waitress is that she has been in the entertainment industry for so long and the company has always established rich second-generation characters without anyone doubting them. She must be like a born eldest daughter, otherwise she wouldn't have been so successful in deceiving everyone. Just like the movie deliberately focuses on the current situation of the five people instead of their tragic childhood at the beginning, in order to separate the past from the present, and they all focus too much on playing the silly and innocent side, which makes them seem a little... stupid and ignorant."
"That's right." Song Zeqian's expression finally eased a little, and then he said, "So they are all unqualified."
Shang Lu thought for a moment and concluded, "You want a woman who can act naturally as a silly and innocent girl, who looks like a rich second-generation, but is actually poor."
Song Zeqian: “…?”
