Afterwards, Hai Rui announced the auditions for the male lead of 'The Forensic Concubine'. Mo Ting was indeed the CEO of Hai Rui; his eyes were sharp and accurate. Apart from Lin Sheng and Bei Chendong, these two people had the biggest impact in Beijing. One was Long Xing and the other was Lu Yiling.
Both of them were popular candidates for Best Actor.
So, Mo Ting's task was to find the most suitable one.
Of course, Mo Ting was actually more inclined towards Long Xing. Compared to his appearance, he always placed more emphasis on his abilities. But, what if Lu Yiling's acting skills were triggered when he acted with Tangning?
However, when the day of the audition arrived, neither Long Xing nor Lu Yiling turned up for the audition.
One of them rejected Hai Rui's offer because his schedule was full, while the other said he needed to rest for 6 months due to health issues.
Yet, these two popular candidates actually rejected Hai Rui's offer with excuses!
When their managers came to Hai Rui to explain, they looked helpless, "Our Long Xing really can't shift his schedule. I'm so sorry, Assistant Lu, our Xiao Xing really wants to act, but as an artist, we have to be honest. We can't reject a film that we've already agreed to, so..."
"Assistant Lu, this is Lu Yiling's medical report. Due to overworking his body, his stomach and liver can no longer take it, so the agency has arranged for him to take 6 months off. After all, his health is more important than anything else. We're so sorry."
Although Lu Che didn't know why the two men rejected Hai Rui's offer, he did not expose their excuses. After all, no one knew what was going on behind their backs.
"President, that's basically what happened. Both of their managers personally came to Hai Rui to apologize. From the looks of it, they didn't want to offend Hai Rui, but they had no choice," Lu Che placed the documents on Mo Ting's desk. Lu Che placed the information on Mo Ting's table and continued, "I've verified this information and it was indeed as the manager said. But, we all know that information like this can be deliberately faked."
"Give me a new list of actors and lower the requirements," Mo Ting instructed without lifting his head.
"Right now, we are in a period of shortage of actors. Bei Chendong and Lin Sheng can be considered, but they've already worked with the Madam. Plus, Bei Chendong isn't suited for ancient costumes. As a result, there aren't many actors that can take on the role."
"In such a big entertainment industry, there aren't even a few qualified actors."
"There are some unknown actors with good acting skills and looks, but they are the type that will never become famous no matter how hard I try, so I don't want to take the risk," Lu Che handed over the resumes of a few other actors, "If you have time, you can take a look."
It didn't take long for Tangning to hear that neither male lead turned up for the audition. But, what did Hai Rui have to offer? There were actually people who refused. It could be imagined that the sinister person behind the scenes must have offered even more generous conditions.
What other reason could there be to stop the audition for the male lead? This meant that no one in the industry could meet the high standards of 'The Forensic Concubine'.
Everyone knew that casting for a good script was also very important. This was also one of the deciding factors for the success of a film or TV series …
After coaxing the babies to sleep, Tangning took the opportunity to pick up the script for 'The Forensic Concubine'. In reality, this was more to her liking!
…
Everything started from the moment Bai Yu heard that Long Xing and Lu Yiling were both going to star in 'The Forensic Concubine'.
Since Mo Ting and Tangning had their eyes on them, she was going to think of a way to snatch them away from Tangning's hands.
So, she arranged to meet with Long Xing and Lu Yiling separately. Her words were very tempting.
"If you guys take on 'The Forensic Concubine', it will simply be a female drama. In the end, the only person that will shine will be Tangning. But, it will be a waste of your time and will not help you in your fight for Best Actor. You should know that Tangning is Mo Ting's treasure. If you were to actually join the cast, do you think you would still have any human rights?"
"But, if you sign with my agency, things will be different. After all, you will have a place in Hollywood and will be able to connect the two of you to the international scene. But, will Hai Rui do that for you?"
Although Bai Yu's actions were despicable, Long Xing and Lu Yiling had to admit that there was nothing wrong with her words.
Of course, appearing in 'The Forensic Concubine' would bring them popularity, but they no longer lacked popularity. What they lacked was certainty. So, if they went overseas to gain experience, they would have a natural advantage. By the time they returned home, they would be international superstars and their careers would rise by a few levels.
So, they rejected the audition for 'The Forensic Concubine'.
As a result, there was no suitable male lead for 'The Forensic Concubine'.
Mo Ting and Tangning were people that pursued perfection. Even if they had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, they would still do their best and not randomly pick someone to take on the role.
...
7pm. Mo Ting returned home. Seeing Tangning in the kitchen preparing dinner, he immediately wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"Why are you so tired? Are you worried that I don't have a male lead? "
"It's not like Hai Rui can't even find a male lead," Mo Ting replied in a deep voice.
"Then, why aren't you happy?"
"I simply want to deliver the best into your hands."
Tangning rolled her eyes as she put down the spatula and turned to face Mo Ting, "If you really want to deliver the best into my hands, I think I have a suitable candidate. I'm just afraid you won't agree."
Mo Ting looked deeply into Tangning's eyes. He could guess what she was thinking, so he shook his head, "I don't know how to do it."
"Don't give me that thought. Grandfather already told me..." Tangning immediately retorted. "I've already asked grandfather. If you are willing to take on the role, grandfather is willing to temporarily manage Hai Rui. He won't think about running the company."
"I've never thought about doing this. I'm actually very resistant to it," Mo Ting replied honestly.
After hearing this, Tangning nodded her head and comforted Mo Ting, "It's OK. If you don't want to, then forget it. We can find someone else. I simply feel it's a pity. I thought your ancient costume would definitely be stunning, but you don't like it. "
Mo Ting did not say a word, but he tightened his grip around Tangning.
"It's OK, it's really OK. I've always been forcing you."
"Things haven't reached that stage yet. I promise you, if we really can't find a male lead, I will be the substitute."
"How could you be a substitute..." Tangning immediately retorted.
"But, I really don't know how to act."
Tangning thought for a moment and nodded her head, "OK, there's finally something that President Mo doesn't know how to do..."
Then, Tangning pondered to herself.
As if I'd believe you!
