Chen Ke glanced at Zhou Xiaonan and then at Wang He, Zhang Mao, and Li Qingyang.
"The person I'm taking you to see is my cousin."
"Biological?" Zhou Xiaonan subconsciously thought that Chen Ke had recognized him. Maybe they had some secret relationship.
"Yes, but we're not that close," Chen Ke said.
"Can your cousin help them with the audition?"
"Mr. Steven didn't plan to participate in James's Animal Mart, but the director of God of War, which was released at the same time, offended my cousin, so my cousin asked Mr. Steven to help James suppress the box office of God of War." What Chen Ke said was what James had told her.
Hearing Chen Ke's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
They didn't expect Chen Ke to have such an important connection.
No wonder she could get such an important role.
"He's a bit overbearing," Chen Ke said. "Don't get into conflict with him whether you get a satisfactory answer or not."
"Of course, Ah Ke. I'll be grateful to you whether it works or not."
"You're welcome."
Actually, Zhou Xiaonan had to pay a price for Chen Ke's help.
In exchange, Zhou Xiaonan had to promote Chen Ke in China.
After all, the domestic entertainment industry was Chen Ke's root. Only if she had enough popularity and appeal in China could she have enough confidence in Hollywood.
After all, Hollywood blockbusters couldn't ignore the Chinese market.
If Chen Ke could have enough influence in China, she would have a higher chance of getting a role in Hollywood.
Chen Ke brought everyone to Mirror Lake.
"The scenery here is so beautiful."
"That yacht over there is so big and beautiful."
"Mr. Steven gave it to my cousin," Chen Ke said. "He's the godfather of my cousin's daughter."
Everyone became more and more nervous. They didn't know what kind of big shot it was.
"That villa is so beautiful too."
"It's so big."
"I really want to build a villa here too."
"Don't think about it," Chen Ke said. "My cousin owns all the land within 20 square kilometers. If you want to be his neighbor, I'm afraid you'll have to get his permission first."
Everyone's heart tightened again. They were even more in awe of the cousin they'd never met.
The car stopped in front of the villa and Chen Ke got out with the others.
Chen Zhao walked out of the room half-naked.
When everyone saw Chen Zhao, they were all surprised.
On the other hand, Wang He's expression turned into one of horror.
How could it be him?
Why him?
"Chen Ke, who are they?" Chen Zhao glanced at Zhou Xiaonan and the others. He also recognized them as the people from the morning audition.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Xiaonan also cried out in surprise.
"Cousin, this is the boss of my company, Sister Zhou Xiaonan," Chen Ke said.
"He's your cousin? That's not right. He went to the audition himself, and he auditioned for a small role. "Zhou Xiaonan was very suspicious of Chen Ke's words now.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
"I just went for the audition. Is there a problem?"
Zhou Xiaonan felt that she had been deceived, and her face immediately sank.
"Ah Ke, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Sister Nan … wait …"
Zhou Xiaonan didn't give Chen Ke a chance to explain. She turned around and got into the car with her men.
He directly left Chen Ke on the spot and swaggered off.
"I really didn't think that Chen Ke would make up an identity for her cousin just to deal with me. That's too much." Zhou Xiaonan was very angry. "Am I that easy to trick?"
"That guy was clearly the one who went for the small role today. If he really knew Steven and had such connections, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to audition," Li Qingyang said.
"Exactly," Zhang Mao added. Zhang Mao echoed, "I think Chen Ke is lying to us on purpose. She makes it sound like she has a lot of connections in Hollywood."
Only Wang He didn't say anything.
He didn't know if Chen Ke knew Steven.
But he was sure that Steven did have a lot of power in Los Angeles.
He didn't want Chen Zhao to hear what he said, so he remained silent while the others were complaining.
Zhou Xiaonan was angry, but Chen Ke's wings were already set.
If she canceled the contract with Chen Ke, she would be the one at a disadvantage.
Therefore, she could only suffer in silence and pretend that nothing had happened.
"You guys better work harder. Don't be as ungrateful as some people."
…
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Chen Zhao shrugged and said helplessly, "Steven, that old b * stard. He wanted me to pretend to be an ordinary actor and observe the auditions."
Chen Ke was completely speechless. She didn't expect such a thing.
"Don't tell anyone," Chen Zhao warned. "If you do, you can forget about your role."
After all, it was a movie he'd invested in. Chen Zhao didn't want to mess it up.
"They're all from your company?"
"Yes."
"They're all local actors?"
"Yes."
"Look at them. Which one is suitable for the role?"
Chen Ke glanced at Chen Zhao. "If I tell you, you won't remove me from the role, right?"
"Do I look that unreasonable?"
"Yes."
"All three of them have their own strengths. Li Qingyang is 28 years old. He has both acting skills and popularity. Wang He is 27 years old. His acting skills are a little lacking, but he's extremely popular. Zhang Mao is 26 years old. He graduated from an acting school and his acting skills are the best. He has won a domestic award for best supporting actor, but his domestic popularity is a little lacking."
"I think Wang He is the most suitable," Chen Zhao said.
"Why?"
"He's the most handsome and most like me."
"If I roll my eyes now, will I lose my role?"
…
It was time for the third audition. Today, there were not only auditions, but also many reporters.
They all wanted to know the results as soon as possible.
Of course, it was impossible for the reporters to enter the audition studio.
"How are your preparations?" Zhou Xiaonan asked.
"Sister Nan, I'm ready."
"Me too."
"Me too. I've been memorizing lines for the past three days. I haven't even left the hotel." It wasn't that Wang He didn't want to go out, but he didn't dare to. He'd studied in LA before.
But he'd never felt that America was so dangerous.
"Today's main examiner is Mr. Steven and Mr. Rasfa, the president of PLM, one of the Big Six. You guys have to give your best. Don't embarrass me."
By the time they entered the audition studio, it was already filled with actors who were auditioning.
They were all looking forward to performing in front of Steven.
Of course, most of them were nervous.
A while later, Steven and Rasfa arrived. The crowd immediately became restless.
But the audition didn't start, which made the auditions even more restless.
"Why isn't it starting?"
