They were all so into the drama!

Mr. Cai is very resolute, and even when borrowing money, there is no ambiguity at all.

Huo Mingjie had just drafted the IOU when he received the bank's account information on his mobile phone.

Seeing Huo Mingjie sign his name on the IOU, Mr. Cai smiled slightly and said:

"Okay, I've lent you the money, so let's just settle down and film for the time being. Regarding endorsements, I estimate that your market price will increase by the end of the year!"

Several unit dramas of "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" have almost been filmed now. Together with the post-production editing, the broadcast time is probably the end of the year.

Whether it is for the interests of the company or for Huo Mingjie, we really should not be too anxious to accept endorsements and commercial performances and waste our own economic value.

Huo Mingjie heard this and agreed with a smile.

In fact, Huo Mingjie knew very well that many of the seemingly tender actions of Mr. Cai in front of him were actually not pure and always had some purpose.

But he had to admit that after he entered the entertainment industry, apart from taking advantage of his nephew, she was the one who helped him the most.

This alone made Huo Mingjie truly grateful.

After solving the money problem, Huo Mingjie took a tour inside the company under Mr. Cai's warm invitation, and also satisfied the request of some company employees to sign autographs and take photos.

Finally, after having a work meal here, Huo Mingjie left the company.

He didn't have a place to stay in the capital, and he didn't want to go to the trouble of moving into an apartment prepared by the company, so he simply rested in a hotel outside for a day and flew directly to Yanjing.

Sister Yan Juchen, who had known for a long time that Huo Mingjie was coming to Yanjing for an audition, took some time off to hide with Huo Mingjie in the small apartment in Yanjing.

Speaking of which, because my grandmother was seriously ill last year, the eldest sister insisted on going back to take care of her family, and even directly turned down a female lead role that she had already obtained.

And since her grandmother passed away, she seemed to have completely turned away from fame. She didn't pursue fame too much, and even started to live a life of filming when there was a movie and lying down when there was no movie.

Huo Mingjie stayed in this small apartment for half a month before leaving to attend the audition.

After all, it's Yang Ma's drama. Even though it's a remake of a classic, and it's bound to have very controversial themes when it's aired, there are still actors in the industry who want to try it out.

Today's audition is for the role of "Xu Xian". The actors invited by the show to audition, plus those who took the initiative to fight for it after knowing the news, totaled more than a dozen people.

Huo Chengyin, who personally led his second uncle here, looked at the crowded audition hall and muttered a few words:

"Good guy, there are so many people..."

"Second uncle, are you sure?"

In fact, all the roles that Huo Mingjie had shot before, except for the rather silly Boyikao who just went through the motions, were all cast without auditions.

This is also his first official audition, competing for roles with so many actors!

Huo Mingjie swept his eyes across the hall and saw many familiar faces.

I even caught a glimpse of Pan Yueming, who was still looking like a pretty boy from a distance, standing there holding the audition script.

To be honest, if someone took a still of Hu Bayi and said that this is what Pan Yueming will look like more than ten years later, I am afraid not many people would believe it...

Uncle and nephew, there is no need to play those imaginary things.

Huo Mingjie shook his head and said truthfully:

"I'm not sure, I can only try my best!"

Pan Yueming, who played the role of Xu Xian in the original version, has already had connections since his debut. He has participated in several major productions of Yang Ma in his early years. He was nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in his twenties, so his acting skills can withstand the test.

I'm afraid it won't be that easy to snatch the role from him, and Huo Mingjie isn't completely sure!

After saying that, Huo Mingjie ignored the worried look in his nephew's eyes, went straight to a quieter corner in the hall, and opened the audition script.

In fact, compared to others, Huo Mingjie also has his own advantages!

The audition script is different from the complete script, although the character's personality is written in it and the general plot line is sorted out.

But the incomplete script is not enough to give the auditionees a clear understanding of the character.

But Huo Mingjie had watched the original TV series. Although his memory was a little blurry, the edited videos of "Xu Xian Ceiling" he had seen were enough to make him know the character better than anyone else!

Compared with the 1992 version of Xu Xian, who was pedantic and a bit cowardly, this version of Xu Xian is very different.

On the surface, he seems submissive, ignorant, and even a little clumsy.

But in fact, this version of Xu Xian is extremely transparent on the inside.

He had even discovered something was wrong with Bai Suzhen, because he felt that "there is never anything in the world that does not ask for anything in return."

But even so, Xu Xian always pretended not to know, feeling a little confused.

On the outside, he looks like a weak scholar with weak hands, but on the inside he is so firm and affectionate.

Such a role is extremely brilliant if played well. Huo Mingjie must strive for it with all his strength!

In the past half month, Huo Mingjie has been hiding in his small apartment, except for in-depth communication with his eldest sister, and spent his free time thinking about the role.

The audition script was densely written, filled with Huo Mingjie's analysis of the character's emotions and his own annotations to interpret the character.

Huo Mingjie looked down at the script in front of him and gradually began to adjust his state, preparing himself to completely step into the role of "Xu Xian".

After waiting for a while, when it was time for the audition, a staff member came out and brought all the audition participants in, while the accompanying agents and assistants were blocked outside.

Huo Mingjie and a group of artists who came to audition were taken to a conference room.

The audition room is right next door. According to the reminder from the staff, the number will be called later according to the order of the crew.

After waiting for a while, another staff member walked in and shouted:

"Has Huo Mingjie arrived?"

Huo Mingjie didn't expect that the first actor called for audition by the crew would be himself.

But that's fine. With Huo Mingjie's understanding of the character, this first impression can also establish a huge advantage!

The next moment, Huo Mingjie folded up the script in his hand, then stood up warmly, nodded politely to the staff member, and said warmly:

"I am here!"

When he spoke, his whole person could not help but exude an elegant and modest bookish air, which made everyone present look at him with side eyes...
