Chapter 709: Chapter 708 Uncomfortable Feeling_1 Chapter 709: Chapter 708 Uncomfortable Feeling_1 After Wei Yanyuan and Lao Feng left, Huayi immediately started preparing for their new film “City of Paintings”. The plot and setting of the movie were incredibly attractive, making Huayi’s intentions to promote Jiang Kai clear. Of course, another reason was to compete with the Lan Family.
A few days ago, Huayi started the casting process for “City of Paintings”. As soon as the roles were set, filming would begin, and by the time the movie was finished and released, it would be just in time for the film festival awards season.
No matter how you look at it, Huayi still maintains its impressive prowess of yesteryear. Both its capital and strength are remarkable.
This time, Huayi even invited all the major actors in the circle to play various roles in the movie.
For TV stars, this was a perfect opportunity. By starring in this movie, they could potentially make the leap to the big screen, greatly benefiting their acting careers.
As such, Shen Ruyin and Xie Yurou, who have been acting in TV series, responded. The two leading ladies arrived at Huayi Company at 10 a.m., attracting quite a few paparazzi outside the gate.
Of course, Chen Lanjun and Xuan Li also arrived simultaneously. This was, after all, a movie produced by Huayi Company, the top dog in the industry. Naturally, they were not about to miss it.
Everyone could see that this movie could potentially follow a commercial style, and if nothing unexpected occurs, it should have good box office prospects.
Qiao Xiaren quickly arrived at the entrance of Huayi Company. Coincidentally, she ran into Chen Lanjun at the entrance.
Chen Lanjun had just got out of the car wearing a hat and sunglasses, concealing herself quite thoroughly.
“Let’s go in, Sister Lanjun.” Qiao Xiaren nodded at her, and they walked in side by side.
“It’s been a while, are you here for the audition?”
Qiao Xiaren nodded lightly, her eyes shimmering: “I suppose I’m a paratrooper. I was recommended here by teacher Wu Xinghui. However, since Huayi demands a showcase of acting skills, you could say that I’ve earned my place.”
She wasn’t too worried about her acting skills. If she didn’t audition, it might create rumors about her using connections to get the role.
Chen Lanjun glanced at Qiao Xiaren and laughed, “Good news really does make one cheerful. I noticed something fishy between you two at the wrap-up party for ‘Who Rules the World’. I didn’t expect you to announce your relationship so suddenly. Even Best Actress winners aren’t as daring as you, bagging a tall, rich, and handsome in just over a year.”
“It wasn’t intentional. When you meet the right person, you’ll understand.”
“I haven’t met anyone good, so I’m still single.” Chen Lanjun shrugged, half-joking, “We’re in the entertainment industry, so we meet many male actors. And you know them too, they are all looking for pure girls outside the circle, and they might only want to play with us. As for men outside the industry, we don’t get the chance to meet them often.”
This is the downside of the entertainment circle and of men in general.
While they were chatting, they had already reached the third floor of Huayi Company where Xie Yurou, Shen Ruyin, and others were already present.
Both of them were big-name actresses of the same league. They had been involved in building their hype and stirring up scandalous rumors, and had seldom appeared on the big screen in recent years, mainly acting in TV series.
As soon as Huayi issued their casting call, the agents of Xie Yurou and Shen Ruyin hurriedly brought them to audition. Big-name actresses generally have high self-esteem, naturally aiming for the lead role or roles with significant screen time.
When Shen Ruyin heard the noise and leaned back for a look, her face turned a bit gloomy.
She had already suffered once from this woman during the shooting of “Slayer of Immortals”, practically serving as a stepping stone for her. Facing her once again, she felt an uncomfortable sensation in her heart.
