They had heard that several A-list Hollywood actresses were competing for the role.
But they didn't expect Chen Ke to get it.
By now, everyone's expression had changed.
She was going to play the role of Steven. And it wasn't a supporting role, but a main role.
This meant that Chen Ke was one step closer to becoming a superstar.
At first, Zhou Xiaonan had thought that Chen Ke had said that she had her own connections to protect her reputation.
But now it seemed that she had underestimated Chen Ke's connections.
After all, Zhou Xiaonan was the head of an entertainment company. She knew very well how complicated it was to choose a main role in a movie.
It was a game that concerned the company and the exchange of interests.
It wasn't a role that could be obtained by selling one's body.
Forget about Hollywood, just look at the domestic entertainment industry.
Some actors relied on unspoken rules to get a role that wasn't popular.
But the main role would never rely on unspoken rules to get a role.
"Ah Ke, the three of them are here for the audition too. Why don't you take them to see Mr. Steven?"
"Sister, you're making things difficult for me."
What a joke. She had just gotten the role herself.
Taking three irrelevant people to see Steven?
She wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if she ate a bear's heart or a leopard's gall.
It would leave Steven with a feeling that he didn't know when to advance or retreat.
And a director hated actors who didn't know when to advance or retreat.
Zhou Xiaonan knew that her request was a little too much.
But she couldn't do anything about it.
After all, her connections were all in China.
When she came to Hollywood, her connections were of no use at all.
Now that she had brought three male actors, she could only submit their resumes to Steven's studio.
Although it was an arranged audition, Steven wouldn't be doing it himself.
Instead, it would be done by several assistant directors. These assistant directors only had the power to send them to the next audition, but they didn't have the power to decide whether they would stay or not.
Of course, the three male actors she brought this time were also of a certain standard.
Li Qingyang, 28, used to be a popular male idol in China. After his popularity gradually declined, he changed his profession and took on many roles that tested his acting skills, but he had never returned to his peak.
Wang He, 27 years old, was still a popular newbie. He was extremely popular in the country and was also the company's money-making king. Even Chen Ke had to concede defeat to him.
Zhang Mao, 26 years old, had won the Best Supporting Actor award at a local film festival. His fame and popularity were not high, but his acting skills were the best.
As this was a Hollywood audition, popularity in the country was basically useless. Therefore, the three of them were considered to be on the same starting line.
Then, Zhou Xiaonan brought them to the set.
The first round of auditions was very easy, and the three of them easily passed.
Actually, the first round was not really an audition.
As long as one had some aptitude, it would not be difficult for them to pass the first round.
The second round was a makeup audition, and the third round was Steven's personal audition.
After leaving the set, the three of them relaxed.
"Don't run around. Go read the script when you get back to the hotel and prepare for the second round of auditions the day after tomorrow," Zhou Xiaonan said.
"Got it, Sister Nan."
When the three of them returned to the hotel, Wang He was the first to be unable to sit still.
"Qingyang, let's go for a walk?"
"But Sister Nan doesn't allow us to wander around randomly. Have you already prepared your script?"
"Why can't we walk around? We're not kids."
Wang He had come from a wealthy family since he was young, so he could not sit still in the country. As long as he was not working, he would go out to drink and have fun. There were no reporters taking pictures of them overseas, so he was even more carefree.
"But we're not familiar with Los Angeles."
"I'm familiar with it. I've been studying here for four years."
"Then where are we going?" Li Qingyang asked.
"Call Zhang Mao. I'll bring you to a high-end restaurant. It's the favorite restaurant of Hollywood celebrities."
"Oh? You're saying that we might have a chance to meet a Hollywood star? "
"It's possible. When I was studying, I came here a few times and met one."
"Then what are we waiting for? Call Zhang Mao."
The two of them knocked on Zhang Mao's room door. Li Qingyang said, "Zhang Mao, let's go out to eat."
"Ah? Didn't we just eat not long ago? "
"Just now, the hotel provided food. I didn't eat much at all. Is that for humans? I'll bring you out for a good meal, "Wang He said.
Zhang Mao was soon convinced. The three of them left the hotel together, hailed a cab, and headed straight to Marina Restaurant.
"Wang He, can we really meet a Hollywood star at Marina Restaurant?"
"That Marina Restaurant was originally opened by a Hollywood star, Nafa Twain."
"F * ck, Nafa Twain?"
"Nafa Twain? I really like his movies. "
"Then if we go to that restaurant, can we meet Nafa Twain?"
"How would I know? I've never seen him in person."
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, they realized that there was already a long line.
"F * ck, why are there so many people?"
"Watch me." Wang He walked up and stuffed a hundred US dollars into the waiter's hand. "Hey, can you let me and my friend in first?"
"Sorry, no. Please line up," the waiter said coldly.
Wang He's expression froze and his expression turned ugly.
He had wanted to show off in front of Li Qingyang and Zhang Mao.
But he ended up getting slapped in the face by the waiter.
However, he quickly calmed down. After all, this was not China.
The three of them could only line up obediently.
"Why don't we go to another restaurant?" Wang Mao was the least famous, so he took the initiative to ease Wang He's awkwardness.
"No, let's go here. I told you to bring someone for a good meal. That's the restaurant's rules. I've gotten used to staying in China and forgot about the rules here," Wang He explained.
"Since we're overseas, let's follow their rules. Don't embarrass our countrymen," Li Qingyang said.
However, at this moment, an Asian man who looked like them walked past the line and went straight to the front of the service counter.
Then, that person spoke a few words to the waiter at the service counter.
The waiter was very respectful to the Asian man. After a few words, the Asian man walked straight into the restaurant.
Seeing this scene, Wang He was instantly enraged.
If everyone did things according to the rules, he would not have a single word of complaint.
But why did others get to go in first while he had to line up here?
Was it because he was not rich enough? Or was it because his status was not high enough?
