Chapter 79 It’s so enviable
  While Wang Shu made an appointment with Mei Ting, Yan Danchen also met with Xu Huanhuan.

Xu Huanhuan is a pretty girl, but she is never popular.

"Danchen." When Xu Huanhuan saw Yan Danchen coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him politely.

Yan Danchen felt a little strange in his heart when he felt the kindness of his classmates.

"Huanhuan." Yan Danchen walked over with a smile on his face.

It was very cold in Beijing in winter, and the two of them were eating hot pot in a restaurant.

While eating, they chatted about past events in school. When they talked about Zhao Yanzi, the two of them looked envious at the same time.

Yan Danchen's popularity has increased greatly due to "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", which is slightly better.

Xu Huanhuan was particularly envious.

After talking about Zhao Yanzi, we talked about Huang Xiaoming again.

Xu Huanhuan sighed: "Dan Chen, I really envy you for knowing Director Wang."

"Ah?" Yan Danchen was a little surprised when he saw Xu Huanhuan lamenting. Even if she was selected by Wang Shu to play the role of the nine-tailed fox, there was no need to be like this, right?
  There are many directors in the entertainment industry.

Not so much.

Not really.

Xu Huanhuan looked at Yan Danchen's confused look and then said: "Directors in the industry are different."

"Although Director Wang is young, he is...more popular than many senior directors with higher status."

"Compared with those big directors, the actors in the industry want to get to know Director Wang more."

Yan Danchen was not a newcomer either. Hearing what Xu Huanhuan said, he vaguely understood.

"Let's talk about our old classmate Huang Xiaoming." Xu Huanhuan seemed to start talking, "I heard that he can get the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

"It's not because Director Zhang likes him, but because the money is available."

Yan Danchen said nothing. She had also heard such rumors, and at the same time she tended to believe them.

because
  "There is also Liu Yifei. I heard that Director Zhang changed his mind and chose her to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. In addition to the investors choosing Liu Yifei, it was also because Director Zhang obtained the shares of Liu Yifei's agency, Hongxingwu."

"How do you know this?" Yan Danchen was a little surprised when he heard this.

"The circle is so big, how can there be an airtight wall? As long as someone spreads the word, it will be known." Xu Huanhuan took a sip of wine and said.

After he finished speaking, he continued, "Now you understand what I said before why there are so many directors in the circle. We actors want to get to know Director Wang more, right?"

"Compared to those directors, Director Wang is more pure."

"For example, in the previous casting of "The Tuner", open casting means open casting. Whether you can be selected or not depends entirely on your personal ability. There are no various ways."

"I heard that some people wanted to take a role and give money to Director Wang, but Director Wang refused."

Xu Huanhuan glanced at Yan Danchen and said, "As for your performance in "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", except for Yang Wei, who was Director Wang's friend and was arranged by Director Wang, and Zhang Hanyu, all the main characters were Was he chosen through an open casting call?"

"As the heroine in the play, you should know it better than me, right?"

Yan Danchen nodded when he heard this and said, "The first male lead is played by Director Wang himself, and the first female, second female, and second male roles were selected by Director Wang. As for the other roles, Director Wang didn't want to waste time and packaged them directly for the Rays." Take responsibility.”

"The first female, second female, and second male roles, these roles were not obtained because someone sent money to Director Wang or because of other transactions, right?" Xu Huanhuan asked with a bright smile.

Yan Danchen heard this and said with certainty: "I can't guarantee the other crews. In the Nine-Tailed Fox crew, I, Dong Xuan, and Li Guangjie were all selected by Director Wang through auditions. There are no other behind-the-scenes deals."

"Neither did the crew of "The Tuner"." Xu Huanhuan said with a smile.

After speaking for a moment, he then added, "Although there may be some tricks in the selection of some supporting characters, it has nothing to do with Director Wang."

"Because there are many characters in a play."

"Director Wang usually only auditions some major roles himself, and leaves the remaining roles to others."

"It's possible that one of these remaining roles will appear." Yan Danchen nodded. She also knew this. This was how the Nine-Tailed Fox audition was.

Xu Huanhuan took another sip of wine and murmured, "This is why many actors in the industry want to get to know Director Wang compared to other more famous directors."

"because."

"In Director Wang's place, there are no such secret operations."

"Anyone, even if they are just an unknown actor in the industry, can get a chance as long as they are noticed by Director Wang."

"And in someone else's place."

"If you want to get a good role, you have to give something."

"The capital is not enough, and there is not even a chance."

He had never had such a clear personal experience before. This time when he heard Xu Huanhuan say this, Yan Danchen suddenly realized that this was really the case.

Although, there are some directors in the industry who select actors through auditions, not all of them are related to profit.

But, it depends on what kind of resources it is.

With resources of Wang Shu's level, there is nothing but interest exchange in the industry. A young actor with no money or power would not have a chance.

"Oh." She sighed and said proactively, "That's the way the industry is. If I hadn't been selected by Director Wang to play the role of the Nine-tailed Fox, I probably wouldn't be very popular now."

"You are much better than me. I am..." Xu Huanhuan shook his head and didn't want to say any more.

Seeing this, Yan Danchen felt pity and immediately said, "I'll call Director Wang and ask him what he is doing."

With that said, under Xu Huanhuan's expectant gaze, he took out his cell phone and dialed Wang Shu's phone number.

Wang Shu had already finished his meeting with Mei Ting. The chat between the two went smoothly. After reading the script, Mei Ting readily accepted the invitation to play the role of Concubine Hua.

The drama of investing 5000 million W already made her excited.

What's more, after reading the script, she knew that Wang Shu's script was mainly about people, and even if he was not the protagonist, he could still perform well.

"Hello." Wang Shu was walking back. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Yan Danchen, and answered it immediately.

"What are you doing?" Yan Danchen was very familiar with Wang Shu, and there was no half-baked politeness in his words.

"On the way, getting ready to go home." Wang Shu told the truth.

"Ah? Then you have no work at hand?" Yan Danchen asked in surprise.

"Yes." Wang Shu's voice sounded.

Hearing Wang Shu's reply, Yan Danchen was even happier. She quickly said, "Do you want to come and have hot pot?"

"There is no one else here, just me and my classmate Xu Huanhuan."

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought that he had not had dinner yet, so he asked, "Where are you? I'll be there right away."

"At *********." Yan Danchen reported an address with a joyful voice.

"Okay, I'll be right over." Wang Shu responded and immediately hung up the phone.

Yan Danchen received Wang Shu's affirmative reply and said with a joyful expression: "Director Wang said he would be here soon and that he would be able to see his face soon."

When Xu Huanhuan heard this, he was both excited and envious.

The excitement lies in being able to meet Wang Shu in person and perhaps seize the opportunity.

Envy, out of this phone call to Yan Danchen.

With just one phone call, he can make an appointment with Director Wang, whom countless actors in the industry want to make friends with.

This network of connections is really enviable.
