Chapter 347: 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 .
