The corners of Mo Liuxi's mouth froze.
Did he just smile?
No, he didn't.
"Don't get distracted. Let's watch the show," he said to Li Ming seriously.
Li Ming was speechless.
What the hell? Who was distracted?
More than thirty actors showed up for the audition. Some of them had flown all the way here. Mo Liuxi preferred old-school actors, who were good at acting. The producers liked popular actors.
After a simple lunch at noon, when a group of people sat together to talk about the third male lead, He Jian received a call and came back to say, "There's news from the investors. Shi Xiang will be playing the third male lead."
Everyone was stunned. Director Li's face darkened. "We were just talking about Pan Qingfeng, the third male lead. He is popular and good at acting. He wants to change his career, so they offered him a lower salary."
"Exactly." The assistant director nodded. "There was news about Shi Xiang acting like a big shot. To be honest, I can't stand my actors acting like that."
He Jian was a little embarrassed. "I can't help it. The investors strongly requested it. They're the biggest investor of the new show. I can't say no. Also, I have to remind you that we hired a Korean team for the production. If you don't agree, I'm afraid they'll leave."
Director Li's face darkened. Mo Liuxi frowned. He was familiar with Shi Xiang's name. He had forced Chu Jiu to change the game's spokesperson. He didn't expect to see him again. "What's Shi Xiang's background? Didn't the Internet say that he was born in an ordinary family? He made his debut in Korea and returned to China to develop his career?"
Yang Meng sneered. "Can you believe what the Internet says? Is he really that naive to stand out and become famous?"
He Jian said helplessly, "It's just the third male lead. Director Li, you didn't agree with the second male lead that was recommended by the investors, and there was already a conflict. This is the third male lead. It's a 120-minute movie, and he'll only appear for about ten minutes. It won't make much of an impact, and the audience won't pay much attention. Shi Xiang called me himself and said that he won't act like a big shot. Those are just rumors. The studio will listen to you. To be honest, no one has ever dared to act like a big shot in front of you, Director Li."
Mo Liuxi sneered. "I'm sorry, but I've seen him act like a big shot."
Director Li glanced at him.
Mo Liuxi added, "The company where he was replaced as the spokesperson is owned by my friend's father."
He Jian hurriedly said, "Even if they used to be arrogant, no one dared to do so in front of you, Director Li. There's really no need to shed all pretense of cordiality with the investors at this time. Now that all the preparatory work is ready, the longer we delay, the more it will cost us. Even if we find new investors, other investors will also propose to bring people into the crew."
Director Li heaved a long sigh and said, "Nowadays, the trend is getting worse and worse. That's why there are so many bad movies nowadays. Fine, fine, fine. I'll be the third male lead. I'll try my best to reduce his scenes."
Mo Liuxi pressed his thin lips together to show his displeasure.
"Shi Xu will come for the audition later. Just treat it as a formality. Don't make it too difficult for you guys," He Jian reminded them.
At half past one in the afternoon, Shi Xu was the first to enter.
He was a little different from his usual image. This time, he had cut his hair and revealed his eyebrows. He was wearing a denim shirt and had a stubble. He looked like a ruffian and was a little similar to the third male lead in the drama.
