"The three of us are sitting here, so we don't want to hear any objections," Steven said in a calm tone. "You can call me a tyrant, or you can call me a dictator. Since you're standing here, it means that you've accepted this rule."
Chen Zhao picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Don't listen to this old b * stard. I'm actually not that petty."
Perhaps some people present would believe Chen Zhao, but Wang He definitely did not.
That day, Li Changyu had offended Chen Zhao at the audition and was still lying in the hospital.
"Okay, the audition begins now," Chen Zhao said. He picked up the list and glanced at it. "Mr. Ban Ke, please come up."
Hearing Chen Zhao call his name, Ban Ke immediately panicked.
He'd made ample preparations, but after Chen Zhao sat down, he was completely flustered.
He was in a mess. Chen Zhao saw that Ban Ke was panicking.
"Do I need to arrange you later? Or give you more time to prepare? "Chen Zhao asked.
Everyone could feel that Chen Zhao was taking care of Ban Ke.
Zhou Xiaonan and the others all had complicated expressions.
If they could build a good relationship with Chen Zhao, they might be able to receive his care.
Unfortunately, they'd missed such a good opportunity just like that.
Zhou Xiaonan was very annoyed, but it was too late now.
She could only hope that Chen Zhao wouldn't make things difficult for her during the audition.
Right now, Zhou Xiaonan really wanted to call Chen Ke and ask her to be more understanding.
However, Zhou Xiaonan had also offended Chen Ke that day.
She hadn't given Chen Ke any face at all.
Although it was all a misunderstanding, Chen Ke had brought them to see Chen Zhao out of goodwill.
However, Zhou Xiaonan had given her a cold shoulder. In the next few days, Chen Ke hadn't called at all.
Ban Ke sorted out his emotions and shook his head. "No need, Teacher. I'm already prepared."
"No need to call me Teacher," Chen Zhao said. "You can call me whatever you want," Chen Zhao said. "We know each other. There's no need to avoid it."
Ban Ke was touched. Steven said with a smile, "Vincent was recommended by Chen. Although he's not a professional, he has a good eye. You can see it from Vincent's performance, so we trust Chen's judgment."
The audition staff were in an uproar. Of course they knew Vincent.
A lucky taxi driver became famous overnight because he starred in Steven's movie.
Many of the people present had actually set Vincent as their development goal.
Now that they heard that Chen Zhao had recommended and recruited Vincent, many people looked at Chen Zhao differently.
"Alright, tell me your identity and the role you're auditioning for."
"I'm a student at the University of Southern California's film school. I'm a senior this year, and I've already taken on a few small roles. This time, I'm competing for the role of the villain, the hacker."
"Okay, start your performance."
After that, Ban Ke began his performance. It couldn't be said to be outstanding, but it was quite stable. It was considered to be average, and because he was trained in acting, his lines were very good. In addition, his appearance was very compatible with the character.
Chen Zhao, Steven, and Rasfa started discussing in low voices.
"Steven, if he can't do it, you don't have to take care of my feelings. You're still in charge of this audition. Rasfa and I are just here for fun."
"He's very good, and his performance is above the passing mark. He can sign the role," Steven said. "Also, since he's been approved by Chen, there's no need to hesitate. The role is his."
"Kid, do you have a manager?"
"No."
"You need to find a management company and have them arrange a manager for you. It can save you a lot of trouble, especially after you act in my movie. This is my advice to you. My studio's legal department will discuss the contract with you. You can go now."
The crowd was in an uproar again. Ban Ke's role wasn't No.1 or No.2, but it was very eye-catching. There were many special scenes.
After all, a hacker in a movie would usually leave a deep impression.
Moreover, this role was a hacker in Steven's movie.
This was a very valuable character, which caused many people to reveal looks of envy and jealousy.
Especially the actors who were playing the same role as Ban Ke.
Following that, a few character actors began to perform on stage one after another.
However, apart from Ban Ke, only one actor had successfully gotten a role.
"Now, all actors playing No.1 Asian male, please step forward," Steven said.
More than ten people stood up. They were all actors from China, Japan, and Korea.
Zhou Xiaonan was even more nervous than Wang He, Zhang Mao, and Li Qingyang.
The main show was coming! She didn't have much hope for this role at first.
But at this moment, she began to worry about her personal gains and losses.
Regret and hope at the same time.
"Chen, what do you think at first glance?"
"That, that, that … and that … they're not suitable."
Chen Zhao wasn't a professional. He'd just eliminated a few based on his first instinct.
Among them were Zhou Xiaonan's artists, Li Qingyang and Zhang Mao.
Zhou Xiaonan was in despair. Chen Zhao's revenge had indeed come.
"Why?" Steven asked.
"That actor looks a bit childish," Chen Zhao said, pointing at Zhang Mao. Then he pointed at the others. "The others are too mature."
Some actors were born with a mature face. They looked like this when they were twenty, and they still looked like this when they were forty.
It wasn't that being mature wasn't good, but different roles had different roles.
"Okay," Steven said. "The rest of you, introduce yourselves and then start acting out the script in your hands."
Wang He took a deep breath. He didn't feel so nervous anymore.
He didn't think he could be chosen.
Because the person sitting there was Chen Zhao.
Therefore, he was extremely relaxed and waited for his name to be called.
Then, he'd draw a perfect ending to this audition.
Soon after, Wang He went onstage and began his performance.
From start to finish, the three examiners didn't say the result.
When the last actor finished his performance, the three of them gathered together again and began to discuss.
"Chen, who do you think is suitable?"
"I think one of the Japanese actors is very nervous. There's also another Korean actor. Did he forget his lines? As for the Chinese actor, Wang He, I don't know if he's good or not, but I feel comfortable."
