Chapter 347 - An Invitation From the General Manager



Chapter 347: An Invitation From the General Manager

“Perfect.” Xie Manliang gave a very concise comment, “Why did you choose such a way to express it?”

He was the one who gave the subject of the audition. Each person got three emotional words. They could use their imagination as the room of imagination assigned was vast.

It could be a classic character, or maybe their imagination, or even a life experience...

“There is no reason behind it, just the inspiration on the spur of the moment.” Yun Xiangxiang replied in standard English.

Since she had Ai Li, she always used English to communicate with Ai Li to improve her pronunciations.

Xie Manliang nodded and did not say anything to Yun Xiangxiang, but called in the next person.

She also did not ask anything, just bowed slightly, and left calmly.

“How do you feel?” He Wei waited for her outside. He handed her some water once he saw her emerge.

“Thank you, Brother Wei.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled sweetly and drank some water before replying, “I feel like I performed excellently. Director Xie Manliang should be quite satisfied. However, he still has to make his decision.

“He is a cautious person. Even if he meets someone that he is satisfied with, he will look at everyone to see if there is someone he is more satisfied with.” He Wei appreciated Xie Manliang’s work style, “It is also a way of showing respect to those who prepared with all their heart.”

Regardless of whether they were good or not, they prepared actively and mustered the courage to face a challenge. It would be disrespectful of Xie Manliang if he did not at least give them a chance to perform.

Yun Xiangxiang also agreed with this approach, “We will wait for the notice, but I still like my chances.”

Even though the audition had quite an unexpected format, she still felt confident.

There was an age limit for this role. Many actresses in the entertainment industry did not consider their age for a role. It did not matter if they were older. However, Xie Manliang was a foreigner. His style of dealing with something was different from the directors in China.

He had an age limit for the auditioners. It was from fifteen to twenty-two years old. This limited the number of auditioners.

Otherwise, there was no telling how many A-listers would chisel their way to get such a good chance of coming into contact with a Hollywood director.

In the beginning, this request was opposed by several major investors. It was not that they wanted to insert anyone into the mix but instead felt their options were too limited.

They were also not confident in the acting skills of the younger generation in China. This was a huge investment. It was better to find an older actor who was a safer option than being dragged behind by a younger one. At most, they would reprimand the older generation a little.

Xie Manliang was persistent. He knew that a good actor could act mature, even if they were young, and mature actors could act youthful.

However, since this was a series film, the heroine was not just done after one film. Having good acting skills was indeed, the unbending requirement. But he also needed someone who could fit into reality naturally.

Of course, if they did not manage to find a suitable actor within the age range in the end, they could do nothing but consider the latter option.

Because of this, Yun Xiangxiang thought that her skills were just enough to be compared to the A-listers, and surpassing her peers of the same age range by a lot.

“I have complete confidence in you.” He Wei liked her confidence.

Even if she was not under him, or belonged to Huan Yu Century Entertainment, she could have been selected based on her resume alone without auditioning.

Everything has its pros and cons. Because of his relationship with Xue Yu, Yun Xiangxiang wanted to take down this role on her own.

“I like fair competition better.”

If she won, she would feel more fulfilled. If she lost, she could find the reason for her failure.

“Oh right, “Magic” wants to schedule an interview with you. It can be arranged to be within these two days, do you want it?” He Wei switched the topic to business.

“Magic” was the best magazine in China. It also had some influence overseas. It had a clear division of labor and interviewed not only actors in the entertainment industry.

Other famous people could be interviewed. Appearing in “Magic” was a symbol of popularity in China.

“Sure, you can arrange it, Brother Wei.” She just had some free time in those two days.

To broaden her path internationally, Yun Xiangxiang accepted interviews from foreign magazines. There was no reason to reject interviews in her own country.

“Okay, I will give them an answer.” He Wei nodded towards Xu Qin, who immediately arranged it into He Wei’s schedule. Turning his head, he told Yun Xiangxiang, “There should be nothing left today. Go back and accompany your parents.”

There were not that many days to spend time with them, since Paris’s delay was too long before.

“Goodbye, Brother Wei.” She waved before walking to the other side.

When she reached the elevator, she met He Shen’s very polite secretary, “Miss Yun, the general manager invited you to stop by.”

Yun Xiangxiang was wondering. He Shen was still at the place of audition just now, and he sent someone to stop her so quickly. He must have watched her go and followed.

She did not know what was so important that he would miss the audition halfway to see her. Based on the situation, it seemed to be hiding at He Wei’s back, too.

He Shen stood in front of the floor-length windows in the general manager’s office, back facing the door. He was wearing a set of well-tailored dark blue suit.

His figure was big and tall. Outside the window was half the city of Beijing. Since this was the twenty-something floor, it gave a vibe akin to a higher-up mountain gazing at smaller mountains.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, He Shen turned around and pointed to the sofa, “Please take a seat.”

After Yun Xiangxiang sat down, he asked in front of the secretary, “Would you like coffee or tea?”

“It’s alright, general manager. I just had some water.” Yun Xiangxiang politely refused.

He Shen was not forceful. He nodded at his secretary, and she left.

After the door closed, He Shen said straightforwardly, “The reason I looked for you is for a lawsuit against The Era of Stars.”

Yun Xiangxiang suddenly realized that she did not pay attention to it anymore after entrusting Ren Yulin entirely.

He Wei was busy with all the materials that needed to be submitted, and she vaguely remembered that the court hearing would be held in two days.

It turned out that Che Junjie had not given up his efforts to reconcile, so he did not want to go to court with her.

No wonder He Shen had to carry He Wei on his back because He Wei was strong. He Shen and He Wei were in different positions.

He Shen was the general manager of Huan Yu Century Entertainment, and his position was to benefit the entirety of Huan Yu Century Entertainment.

He Wei was the agent of Xue Yu and Yun Xiangxiang. Even if he were one of the major stakeholders of Huan Yu Century Entertainment, he would show favor to his actors.

Yun Xiangxiang did not say a word, Just like when she was in France. It was better for her not to refuse when facing He Shen and He Zhen.

But He Shen was a master of hitting the nail on the head in a commercial arena, “I have already heard about your issue in Paris. You were willing to take a step back when they almost sold you off. Why not this time?”

“Because I don’t like going beyond the law to solve anything.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled lightly.

“Is this really the case?” He Shen questioned.
