The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 268 Taking shortcuts

Regarding the choice of Li Xian'er, whether it was her queenly look when threatening the protagonist with a series of explosive charms, or her coquettish look when calling the protagonist "Master" one after another, Yang Mi performed better than Tang Yan.

So now Han Jiadong is basically determined to let Yang Mi play this role.

As for Pu Yao...

Although there is no particularly satisfactory candidate yet, Tang Yan is really not a good choice. Even if she is pretentious, she cannot act like a fearful villain.

After another round of auditions, the male lead was finally chosen Zhu Yilong, the female lead Xiao Guo chose the fresh-faced Dilraba, and the senior sister Li Fengying chose Liu Tao.

After she was eliminated in the audition of Pu Yao, she participated in the audition of the senior sister and successfully impressed Han Jiadong with her heroic performance.

The actors for Pu Yao and senior brother Wei Sheng have not been decided yet.

Fortunately for Pu Yao, at least there are several candidates such as Chen Kun, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, and Zeng Li.

Senior Brother Wei Sheng doesn't even have a candidate to be a candidate yet.

"Why is it impossible? Hasn't he already chosen you to be the heroine?"

Yang Mi reminded: "It's impossible for him to let you be his girlfriend, let alone marry you, and he won't even announce it to the public. How can you accept it?"

……

"You mean you want to go, but you don't know how to find him?"

"No, no! I didn't mean that."

"Reba, first of all you have to understand what an actor's foundation is!"

"Um???"

"Then have you ever gone to see him?"

I’m afraid I’ve already agreed to it thousands of times, right?
I was too embarrassed to say it out of fear of losing face.

Yang Mi said with a serious face: "What? Even a great director like Han Jiadong can't get your attention?"

Sure enough, it was not easy for that guy to want a woman. No woman in the entertainment industry could refuse that guy.

"Ah? Then...Sister Mi, what do you think I should do?"

Dilraba shook her head even more like a rattle, then lowered her head and said unconfidently: "I mean, how could Director Han Jiadong like me?"

Yang Mi suddenly put on a serious face and lectured: "It's acting! Only acting can allow us to stand firm in this industry, so don't always think about taking shortcuts."

"I don't even have his contact information..."

But when she heard what she said, Dilraba did not feel happy. Instead, she lowered her head with a complicated look on her face, trying not to let Yang Mi see her expression.

Dilraba still shook her head: "No."

"???"

"That's not necessary. Since the role has been given to you, you should perform well. But if someone wants to misbehave with you...you must firmly refuse!"

Dilraba hesitated and shook her head.

Yang Mi curled her lips secretly, even though she was talking about this, she didn't even refuse.

"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Han Jiadong?"

Dilraba waved her hands quickly. She just wanted to say that it was impossible for her and she didn't even have a chance to see Han Jiadong.

Yang Mi raised her chin with her index finger: "Then if Han Jiadong falls in love with you, will you be his woman?"

Dilraba hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded.

Yang Mi looked at Di Lieba in front of her.

Or a newcomer without any filming experience? !
Dilraba looked at her with big innocent eyes: "It really doesn't matter."

"No no."

In her opinion, Han Jiadong often goes to Shanghai for work reasons, and Reba goes to school in Shanghai, so there are too many opportunities to interact alone.

Dilraba looked at her in confusion: "Sister Mi, do you mean to ask me to give up?"

Dilraba looked at Yang Mi for help.

With Han Jiadong's status, if Reba was asked to hang out alone, Reba would not dare to refuse.

As the boss, she was even Han Jiadong's woman, so she got a second female lead.

"Then do you still want to act?" Yang Mi asked again.

Yang Mi still didn't believe it: "He didn't come to see you when you were in school?"

Yang Mi said and touched Reba's head: "Don't worry, the company will be your solid backing."

But one of his own artists got the female lead?

"I...I know."

Yang Mi asked back: "Do you think you really got this role based on your own strength?"

After the results of the latest round of auditions were announced.

Dilraba's eyes widened and she stammered: "I...I never thought about it, I don't know, how is that possible?"

……

at the same time.

Zeng Li, who successfully entered the next round, received one call after another before he could take a breath.

They all want to seek cooperation.

There are advertisements, endorsements, commercial performances...

For the first time, she felt personally how influential Han Jiadong was.

"This is just one or two more rounds of auditions, and there are so many more announcements. If I get the role..."

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again.

This time it was my friend and classmate Yuan Pan who called.

"Congratulations! Lizi, you are finally coming out after all these years."

"I just passed two rounds of auditions, but I still may not get the role... No, I definitely won't get the role."

Zeng Li originally wanted to be modest, but after carefully thinking about the other candidates, he could only smile bitterly.

Yuan Chan was puzzled: "Why? I think you have high hopes."

She herself also auditioned for the third female role this time, but was eliminated in the first round.

"Look at the other candidates, Chen Kun, Fan Bingbing, and Zhang Ziyi. There is no comparison between me and them."

"Then why don't you think about why Director Han kept you, a little transparent person, until the end with those big stars?"

"why?"

"Because you must have advantages that they don't have! Director Han retained them probably because of their reputation, but what about you? What do you have that Director Han values?"

"have what?"

Zeng Li subconsciously asked, originally she thought her fame was a disadvantage, but after hearing what her friend said, how could it become an advantage?

"Then I don't know. I'm not the roundworm in Director Han's belly."

Yuan Chan asked, "Do you have any ideas of your own?"

Zeng Li shook his head: "What advantage do I have? Even if I don't compare with fame or acting skills, I can't compare with a few of them. They are almost too weak to win awards, and I haven't won any important awards."

Yuan Can guessed: "Is it because you are beautiful?"

"In terms of looks, I may not be able to compare to Fan Bingbing!"

Zeng Li said helplessly that the entertainment industry lacked everything except beauties. She didn't think she could attract the talented director just by her looks.

"Maybe Director Han likes this one of yours!" "Don't talk nonsense, how old am I as a Korean director?"

"It's not too old to be in your early thirties!"

Yuan Pan teased: "What? You don't still want to fall in love with that great director, do you?"

"What are you talking about?"

Zeng Li shook his head helplessly: "I just want to say that my hope of getting the role is indeed slim."

Yuan Pan comforted: "Don't be too pessimistic. I think that even if you are not the first choice, you can at least be ranked second."

"why?"

"Because I think Chen Kun and Zhang Ziyi are definitely not as hopeful as you."

"Ok?"

Zeng Li was even more confused: "Why do you think so?"

Yuan Chan started to analyze it with her.

"Let's talk about Chen Kun first. He is the only man left among the candidates, right? For a male character, there is only one man among the final candidates. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so weird about this?"

"Of course! This shows that Director Han prefers to use actresses! In other words, from the very beginning, a male role will be auditioned by both male and female actors, which already shows that Director Han prefers to use actresses."

Zeng Li nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about Zhang Ziyi?"

"It's even simpler for our old classmate. You see, Director Han has made so many movies, and Zhang Ziyi has been the top actress in China for a long time. In this case, Director Han has never worked with her. Now it's a TV series that Zhang Ziyi has never been involved in. Zhang Ziyi has just finished the scandal of "Triple Door" and is filming a movie directed by Wang Jiawei. How could Director Han use her at this time? "

Yuan Can concluded: "So the final candidate must be between you and Fan Bingbing."

Zeng Li originally thought there was little hope, but when she said this, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, but he said: "What's the use of being second? It's not the same if you can't get the role."

"So you have to work hard!"

"How hard do you want me to work?"

"There are many ways! For example, find someone to inquire about Director Han's ideas and preferences, or simply invite Director Han out to talk about it yourself."

"Go, what's your idea?"

……

……

After chatting with Yuan Can, even though Zeng Li was not very career-minded, he couldn't help but get interested.

However, her connections in the entertainment industry were really limited, and she was not familiar with Director Han Jiadong, so even though she thought a lot about it, she could only pick up the original novel and read it again.

As a result, that afternoon, she received a call from Han Jiadong himself, asking her to meet at a hotel.

"What does Director Han mean by this? Could it be..."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li immediately thought of what his friend Yuan Can said to him, and subconsciously wanted to call Yuan Can to discuss it.

As soon as she found Yuan Pan's number from the call history, she hesitated again.

"With Yuan Pan's character, he will definitely encourage himself to go. Should he go by himself or not?"

"If you don't go, the role will most likely be gone."

"Go, what will Yuan Pan think?"

After some entanglement, Zeng Li gave up discussing with Yuan Can.

But she was still unsure whether to go or not.

If you don’t go, there’s still a high chance that you won’t get the role.

Go... I just finished the audition yesterday, and today I asked myself to go to the hotel alone. What does Director Han want to do?
Is he really interested in me?
Thinking of this, Zeng Li found that his heart was beating faster.

I jumped faster than I did when I found out I had a chance to get the role.

"No matter, let's go and take a look first. If you don't go, you won't be able to get the role. If you go, you can deal with it randomly depending on the situation."

After making a decision in his mind, Zeng Li prepared to put on makeup. He just picked up the makeup, put it down again, picked up a change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

Soon, there was the sound of water running in the bathroom.

After taking a shower and putting on makeup, in order to better fit the character, she also changed into a men's suit.

When we arrived at the hotel, it was almost half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and no one from Han Jiadong had arrived yet.

Zeng Li followed Han Jiadong's instructions, took the room card at the front desk, went into the room and waited.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Han Jiadong arrived.

"It's been a long time coming."

Han Jiadong simply said hello, took off his coat, and raised the air conditioning temperature in the room several degrees.

"No... uh."

Seeing Han Jiadong's move, Zeng Li's heart suddenly lifted.

Han Jiadong was already looking at Zeng Li.

She has a cool and charming appearance and a sense of grandeur, which will give people a sense of surprise at first glance.

With a height of 1.7 meters and a slender figure that is not that of an ordinary woman, she has an aura that ordinary women do not have.

Paired with the men's windbreaker she wore, it perfectly explained what it means to be beautiful and sassy. Even a woman would probably have a hard time resisting her charm.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" Han Jiadong asked.

Zeng Li felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, but he still tried his best to make himself look less abnormal and said: "Because of the role?"

Seeing that she understood, Han Jiadong stopped talking nonsense: "Take off your coat."

Zeng Li didn't expect him to be so direct and didn't even ask for his opinion. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, secretly annoyed by Han Jiadong's domineering attitude, but after hesitation, he still took off his coat.

Han Jiadong took a look and continued: "Take off your sweater too."

Zeng Li gritted his teeth secretly and slowly took off his black sweater.

Her hair was messed up a lot, and it was let down, adding a bit of strange charm.

Han Jiadong looked at her underwear and saw that it was not too high. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still confirmed: "What kind of cup do you have now?"

Zeng Li was stunned again, his ears were already red, but he still said truthfully: "B."

Han Jiadong understood that if it were a petite woman, such as Tong Liya, B would already be very stylish.

But for someone with a broad chest like Zeng Li, it is not so obvious after they are spread out.

However, Han Jiadong still planned to confirm it with his own eyes.

"Go to the bathroom and take off your clothes, then put on your coat."

Zeng Li didn't understand what he meant, but he still took his coat and entered the bathroom.

Once inside, she leaned against the door and almost collapsed to the ground.

"What exactly does Director Han mean? He asked him to take off his clothes as soon as he came up, and he didn't do anything to him. Now he asked him to take off his clothes and only wear a coat... Doesn't he have any special quirks?"

Although he was several years older than Han Jiadong, Zeng Li found that he was as weak as a child in front of Han Jiadong, unable to resist and allowed to be bullied by Han Jiadong.

After struggling for a while, she took off her inner clothes. After a moment's hesitation, she simply took off her pants as well, to save herself from trouble later.

After putting on her coat, she wrapped it tightly around herself before opening the bathroom door and going out.

Han Jiadong looked her up and down and said, "Let go."

Zeng Li didn't move: "Director Han, after that, are you sure that the role of Pu Yao will be given to me?"

When she said this, she was mentally prepared for something.
