Chapter 48 Regret, Gratitude

Some of the artists from Jaywalk Studio who hadn't auditioned yet posted photos of Xin Cheng in the group chat.

I tagged Zhang Yunlong directly, wanting to ask if he knew the person.

If they remember correctly, they seem to have heard this name before.

He seems to be the male lead in "Hello, Old Times"!

This time, Zhang Yunlong didn't attend the audition; he had his eye on the second male lead in "Goodbye My Princess".

I wanted to focus all the rewards on this one character, without getting distracted by preparing other characters.

Compared to other artists, he is still the ambitious type.

"Zhang Xincheng!?"

Zhang Yunlong was surprised when he saw the picture.

He quickly realized that Zhang Xincheng was a student at the Central Academy of Drama, and it was obvious that he was delivering food.

I couldn't help but think of the person who followed my lead when we were on set, and I couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

It's obvious that Zhang Xincheng is now replicating his previous situation, trying to get closer to Director Chen.

The problem is that he didn't participate in the audition, allowing this person to get there first.

The only reason I feel better is that Zhang Xincheng is only a freshman, and he might have to face some punishment from the Central Academy of Drama.

It is obvious that Zhang Xincheng did not participate in the audition for "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming".

This made me feel a little better, especially since I just needed to successfully join the cast of "Goodbye My Princess".

There is plenty of time to build a closer relationship with Director Chen, especially since he has already recognized Dilraba as his elder sister.

Thinking this way, Zhang Yunlong felt much better!

Coincidentally!

Inside the auditorium of the Central Academy of Drama, there was another acquaintance of Chen Jingyuan, namely Zhu Yilong.

"eLong, didn't you work with Tianhe Studio before?"

A face with sharp angles leaned close to Zhu Yilong and spoke.

This is Zhang Ruoyun, Zhu Yilong's good friend from Beijing Film Academy. The two agreed to audition together.

Zhu Yilong began to rise to fame after starring in "With You".

He now has more options in terms of resources, but he chooses only the better scripts.

Try to maintain this hard-earned reputation.

As for Zhang Ruoyun, she gained a lot of attention a few years ago for her role as Liu Zhihui in "Snow Leopard".

The problem is that there haven't been many outstanding works in the past two years.

Both of them had their eyes on Tianhe Studio's drama "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming".

Unlike before, when Tianhe Studio was relatively unknown, it gained considerable fame after the success of "With You".

With its built-in Tencent Video tag, it's hard to ignore.

The explosion of the online drama era has made people in the Chinese entertainment industry pay more attention to video platforms.

"I didn't have much interaction with Director Chen before."

Zhu Yilong couldn't help but show a hint of regret on his face.

When he starred in "With You", Tianhe Studio had just been established.

In addition, time was tight at that time, and this person's time on set was still not very long.

Taking all factors into account, he barely exchanged a few words with this person.

Seeing Zhang Xincheng's familiar face now makes me feel like I missed out.

Zhang Xincheng was the male lead in Tianhe Studio's previous drama, and it's obvious that he has a special relationship with Director Chen.

On the other hand, Chen Jingyuan was unaware that he had become the subject of much discussion.

"Xincheng, how is the Central Academy of Drama handling your situation?!"

Chen Jingyuan asked with a look of curiosity on his face.

Having worked together on set before, and with this person intentionally trying to curry favor, we were already quite familiar with each other.

He wouldn't proactively ask about his reputation, but encountering him now is a different matter.

When asked by Director Chen, Zhang Xincheng recounted the current situation with a bitter expression.

"No results yet, waiting for 'Hello, Old Times' to air!?"

Chen Jingyuan remained stunned and murmured softly.

I didn't expect the Central Academy of Drama to be so "humane," with the punishment to wait for the broadcast of "Hello, Old Times."

"Actually, schools should lift the restrictions now."

"One should become famous as early as possible!"

Xu Ang, standing to the side, bluntly stated that he didn't care much about his alma mater.

Although he couldn't take on acting roles during his freshman year, it had nothing to do with his directing major.

However, this regulation has caused quite a few problems for the Central Academy of Drama.

Hearing Director Chen and his senior's words, Zhang Xincheng felt quite comforted.

"Don't worry, there's no way they'll punish you."

"There's no doubt that 'Hello, Old Times' will be a huge hit after its release."

"Now you can just wait to become famous overnight."

...

Chen Jingyuan added a few more words.

The number of views for "Hello, Old Times" has exceeded one billion, and the number of reads on Weibo has exceeded two billion.

Even if it airs a little earlier, it will still become a huge hit.

It's only a matter of time before Zhang Xincheng becomes famous.

However, Zhang Xincheng clearly does not have the same confidence as Chen Jingyuan.

Even projects that seem promising can still fail before they air.

"Director Chen, thank you for your kind words!"

Zhang Xincheng smiled broadly as he spoke.

At least it still gives people a good impression!

Zhang Xincheng did not stay to disturb Chen Jingyuan and the others' meal, and soon left with Zhou Mohan.

"Xincheng, I didn't expect to get to know Director Xu and Director Chen so easily."

After walking out of the auditorium, Zhou Mohan thanked Zhang Xincheng.

Zhang Xincheng waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't necessary, as his roommate usually took good care of him.

I only mentioned it briefly; it's hard to say what specific use it will have.

What's more, they are only freshmen at the moment.

at the same time!

Chen Jingyuan and others continued auditioning, which lasted for two full days.

Xu Ang selected a group of candidates.

First of all, the male lead was chosen to be Zhang Ruoyun, who has been in the industry for a few years and has pretty good acting skills.

Chen Jingyuan had no objections; relatively speaking, he was more suited to the role.

The second male lead was given to Gao Weiguang, an artist from Jaywalk Studio.

There was some connection involved, and Director Xu Ang was quite accommodating.

As for the specific role, Chen Jingyuan was not very familiar with it.

After the results came out, many actors were notified, and Jaywalk artist Gao Weiguang was very excited.

Just like Zhang Yunlong back then, he seemed not to have expected to be chosen as the second male lead.

I've been chosen for the second male lead role.

Thank you, Sister Honey! Thank you, Sister Dilraba!

Gao Weiguang immediately sent a thank-you message in the Jiaxing chat group.

This could be an opportunity to increase your fame or even become an overnight sensation.

Besides Gao Weiguang, some other artists also got important supporting roles.

Although not as good as the second male lead, it's already much better than before.

They all sent thank-you messages in the chat group.

They were self-aware enough to realize that their acting skills weren't exceptionally good compared to other auditionees.

It must be relationships that played a role here.

Otherwise, how could Jaywalk Studio have selected so many artists?

Yang Mi and Dilraba both saw these thank-you messages, and Dilraba forwarded them to Chen Jingyuan with a thank-you note.

You're welcome, you're already mine.

After seeing Dilraba's message, Chen Jingyuan smiled faintly and replied with a message.
