It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

"What happened to that actor in it?"

All the actors outside were shocked to see that only people were coming out of the set and no one was going in.

Including Natalie's two friends who were also stunned outside - because they didn't see Natalie coming out of the set! Five people went in, but only four came out.

This is the first time this has happened!
"No!" Someone stood up, his eyes fluctuating wildly, "Natalie's performance must be very good to be kept here. Even if her performance was bad, she would not be left alone and scolded!"

A director who can make a movie in Kuiguang Group, even if he is not a very famous person, must be at least experienced. What kind of actors has he not seen?

No matter how bad Natalie's level is or how poor her performance is, it is impossible for her to be so bad that the director would stop by and scold her. The most she could do is not get a green card and leave in disgrace.

So, since he was not kept back due to poor performance, there is only one possibility.

"Natalie won't really get the role of the heroine, right?!"

"I don't know. Let's go check it out."

In foreign culture, people are relatively open-minded and don't care about anything. Many people have gathered around, waiting for this only exception to give them some surprises.

After seven or eight minutes of intense discussion, the door to the studio was opened again.

With a loud noise, all the eliminated, shortlisted, and waiting actors around turned their eyes inside, and some even wanted to go inside the set to see what was going on.

Natalie walked out of the gate with an excited look on her face and a green card in her hand.

Sure enough... Just as everyone guessed, Natalie was safely sent to the next round of screening.

"congratulations!"

"What just happened in there?"

"That's awesome, sisters."

Natalie wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of situation. She smiled and said to the people around her: "Everyone will succeed, too. Come on!"

At this time, the director inside the set also noticed the situation outside, and with a stern face, he told the people in line to go in quickly and not waste time.

So the crowd quickly dispersed, and Natalie returned to her two friends.

"Natalie, you really did it, amazing!"

"Oh my god...are you the first actor to be kept on the set by the director because of your excellent acting skills?"

"Ahem." Natalie knew her own situation and couldn't explain it to the others, but she didn't intend to hide it from her two friends. "Actually, I wasn't kept here because of my great acting skills."

Friends joked, "Ah, what's the reason? It can't be that the director likes you, right?"

Natalie glanced at Yang Ruoqian who was sitting in the stands in the distance, shook her head and said, "In fact, at the beginning, the director felt that my acting skills were just barely acceptable. Even if I got a green card in this round, I would most likely be eliminated in the next round."

The two immediately understood what Natalie meant, their pupils widened: "Ah? In other words, the director gave you a chance not because your acting is so good, but because your acting just happened to be stuck at the point where they were struggling, so they gave you another chance?"

"Not really... There's no limit on the number of green cards in the first round, so the director shouldn't have a hard time with it." Natalie smiled, "It's just that they felt that my temperament and acting skills were more suitable for another role than the one they asked me to audition for, so they gave me another chance."

"Is this even possible?! Which role do they think you are suitable for?!"

Natalie didn't say anything this time, but returned to her seat and retrieved her personal belongings.

Then she unfolded the promotional brochure that Kuiguang Group sent to the actors and pointed to one of the most eye-catching characters on the poster in the brochure.

She is the leading actress of this movie.

The three-person team was silent for a moment.

"You, you, you?! Really? Don't lie to us!"

Natalie moved away a little, looked up at Yang Ruoqian again, nodded and said seriously: "It's true, I said it a long time ago, I think I am very suitable for this role."

"I mean, are they really willing to give such an important role to poor guys like us?"

"Why are you talking so harshly? We have jobs, okay?"

"That's amazing. Does that mean the production team has decided to give you the lead female role?"

Natalie held the green card tightly in her hand and shook her head slowly: "How can it be so simple? If it were true, the card I was holding might not be a green card but a card of another color."

It is true that the director gave Natalie a chance and she seized it...

But there are so many actors waiting for audition behind her. Maybe the director can find one that suits his taste among these actors?

And who knows, maybe just like what his friends said, what if a big-name star wants to join the crew with conditions that no one can refuse?
Just two auditions were far from enough for Natalie to prove that her abilities could cover the first two.

"Who cares? At least you got the green card. As long as you perform better later on, even if you can't get the female lead role, you can always get a minor supporting role."

"With this resume, it will be much easier for you to find a job on other sets in the future."

Natalie glared at her two friends and said, "What do you mean, you have no confidence in me? If I can get the green card this time, I will definitely get the female lead role, so just wait and see!"

"Very confident. Good! But first, show us what a green card looks like. Let us open our eyes."

Speaking of this, Natalie quickly stretched out her right hand.

She didn't even notice that she had been holding the green card tightly from the beginning and had never let go.

"No one is robbing you, so take a look! Let's see what prizes the noble finalists can get."

As they spoke, the three of them looked in the direction of the green card.

Although it is called a green card, in fact, this color is more like a combination of dark green and dark blue, and it does not look as discordant as pure green.

There is a personal photo of the actor and a personal number unique to the actor on the nameplate. It is obviously a card that was made temporarily after the crew decided who to shortlist.

"There's an introduction on the card... With this card, you can enter and exit the crew's B-level area at will. When you swipe the card to enter the crew, you must face the camera. It's pretty high-tech."

"This card will be discarded after the filming of the movie is completed, but everyone can keep it as a souvenir."

"Thank you to all the actors for supporting our film!"

Looking at this card, the three of them were stunned - this card doesn't need to be recycled?

If Natalie succeeds, can she sell it on the second-hand market in the future?
"Don't think about it!" Natalie suddenly pushed another friend's shoulder, "There's a sound coming from your phone. Check to see if it's the crew notifying you to audition... If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another chance."

The friend looked at her with disdain and said, "Natalie, I can tell you didn't read the relevant regulations carefully... Even if you accidentally miss the queue, just press the button to apply for postponement, and the crew will automatically put you in the back row." "Because no one knows when it will be their turn. If someone happens to be in the toilet and doesn't have time to rush over, it would be too pitiful."

"Anyway, in this crew, I only saw three words: humane. This is much better than those crews that claim to be humane but are actually full of unspoken rules."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at her phone and waved to her two friends: "Then I'll go over first, see you later!"

"..."

……

Yang Ruoqian watched the entire audition in the audience. After the last contestant left the set, he yawned and prepared to leave the audience.

The reason he had been sitting here the whole time was not because he wanted to watch these repetitive auditions, but because he was worried that if he was not there, there would be some unexpected changes in the cast.

If someone comes to your door, you will be the only one who can handle it.

Now that things are basically settled, we can go eat.

Mag, who was standing beside him, saw that Yang Ruoqian was about to leave, and asked, "Sir Yang, what do you think of Natalie? Is she suitable to be the female lead of this movie?"

Mr. Yang, who was either in a daze, looking at his phone, or chatting with Luo Ruying, was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

It’s hard to remember foreign names, let alone there are so many actors auditioning here.

"That's the only one who auditioned twice!" Mag reminded, "What do you think?"

Oh...that one.

To be honest, I still have some impression of Yang Ruoqian, but I really didn't care about the details.

"Uh, I think it's OK, right?" Yang Ruoqian said casually, "But leave this kind of professional matter to the director. I won't interfere with the crew's decision."

Mr. Yang's only purpose in sitting here is to make sure that every actor fits the character in the movie and that the "correctness" of the movie doesn't conform too much to the local culture.

Mr. Yang really doesn't care whether the role is suitable or not.

It would be best if it is not suitable and the whole movie could just flop, which would be most in line with Mr. Yang's needs.

"Really?" Mag stood up and left the set through the exclusive passage with Yang Ruoqian. "I have received several emails saying that someone wants this position. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

Someone wants the starring role, and someone who can contact Mag...

I guess he is not an ordinary person, at least he is very rich.

There are only two situations. One is that the actress is very popular and has a group of loyal fans who will watch any movie she makes. As long as she joins the cast, the box office will definitely increase.

Or they may be new talents that a company wants to focus on training. They come with large amounts of money and only ask the crew to put their people in the leading roles so that they can become famous immediately.

Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need to watch it... Or if they want to come, they can sign up for the audition themselves and go through the same process as other actors."

In order to accommodate those who couldn't make it, there were two auditions on the set.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, almost no one will audition in the second round.

Although the director has no quota for the first round of screening, it is better to arrive early than late - for example, if an above-average performance arrives early, the director will most likely give the green card.

But if more and more people have this kind of performance, the director's expectation threshold will be raised and he may not issue green cards in the future.

"Okay, that's how I'll reply to them."

Yang Ruoqian waved his hand: "Go ahead, and by the way, we can announce our cast."

"The cast?" Mag was stunned. "But hasn't our cast been confirmed yet?"

"That's fine. Let all the actors who got green cards take a photo and promote it." Yang Ruoqian used the same trick he used to fool the secretary to fool Mag. "These actors have come thousands of miles to our theater to film a movie. If they are eliminated in the second round, it would be a waste of time."

"Give them some publicity and arrange for the local standard hourly wage during the audition, which can be considered as a little compensation."

Mag was stunned again: "Sir Yang, can you explain what the 'standard' hourly wage is?"

Either the lowest or the average, what does this standard mean?
Where do these standards come from and who sets them?

Yang Ruoqian sighed and said, "Just a little higher than the average, that's the standard."

"Okay, okay... Sir Yang, you are so generous."

"..."

While the two were chatting, Mag also assigned relevant tasks to his subordinates.

Before long, related information began to appear on various social media platforms - the Kuiguang Group, which produced the "The Boys" series and the AI ​​masterpiece "The Redeemer", is about to begin preliminary preparations for its new film.

The cast has also been tentatively finalized.

Recently, the "Liuguang" has been sailing in various Asian countries. Luo Ruying has become a global top star, and the name of Kuiguang Group has gradually entered the public's field of vision.

As soon as these promotions came out, they attracted countless eyes.

These include other film companies, talent agencies that want to recruit a leading actor, and some unspeakable groups.

"Boss, come and have a look, the cast of Kuiguang Group's new movie has been announced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people immediately surrounded him and began to look at him with the most vicious eyes.

In the past, the Kuiguang Group mainly operated in the mainland market, so no matter how they jumped around, it was useless... But this time, they have a lot of room to play.

There are wolves even when there is no wind. Isn't it easy to catch them?

But apparently, they still overestimated their opponents a bit - because this cast is really not "diverse" enough.

Looking at the beauties and attractive actors on the promotional page, the scene was suddenly filled with laughter.

"Great! With this cast, we're in for a big deal this time."

"Hurry up, let's make a guide document and let them modify the movie according to this guide. Then we can sell it to them for at least 200 million US dollars! If they don't buy it and don't modify it, haha..."
