The event hosted by Dynasty Entertainment this time is especially grand, it's not just about casting roles.
Perhaps hidden among them is the next film emperor or empress, superstar king or queen.
Therefore, quite a few third and fourth-tier artists from the entertainment circle are also participating.
Naturally, the trends growing well should be given priority attention.
The general person in charge was just holding the list and leaving when they bumped into someone head-on.
Shen Bingxi.
Shen Bingxi is a first-tier artist under Dynasty Entertainment, she has played the second female lead in several popular TV dramas and the main role in some small-budget youth web dramas; she's quite well-known nationally.
It's heard she is also interested in playing a part in Director Su Mou's new series.
Characters like Shen Bingxi naturally don't need to go through any competition to get a chance to audition. However, Director Su Mou has publicly stated that he will boldly use newcomers to find his ideal lead actress. He temporarily won't consider choosing artists who are already famous in the entertainment circle, extinguishing most top-tier artists' hopes.
But for the second male and female roles, there's still room for contest.
Big director, big production, even playing a small supporting role could lead to fame.
"Isn't Sister Shen supposed to be on set, why have you suddenly come to the company?"
"You're asking knowingly, isn't Director Su Mou auditioning these days? The company even went to great lengths to organize a competition, clearly showing how much they value it."
Shen Bingxi is not very old, but she became famous quickly after entering the circle, having more status than most people present.
"These are the company's decisions; we're just responsible for executing them. Besides, it's not just to find actors for Su Mou's script, the entertainment circle also needs to inject some fresh blood and discover some potential artists."
Whether it's acting or singing careers, these will be for the company to earn money in the future.
"What are you holding in your hand? The special attention list of this competition?"
The person in charge moved the list behind him.
Shen Bingxi saw through his intention at a glance.
"Forget it, would I not understand such rules? Making such a fuss." After speaking, she walked away.
The person in charge also breathed a sigh of relief; Shen Bingxi is truly not someone to mess with. Her acting skills are genuine, and her habit of suppressing newcomers is also true.
As long as things aren't blown out of proportion, the company turns a blind eye.
After all, that's the survival rule of the entertainment circle.
Shen Bingxi entered the elevator and turned to instruct the assistant beside her. "I don't care what method you use, I want the list in Han Jiang's hands." Han Jiang was the previous general person in charge.
Shen Bingxi's idea was simple; inevitably, some newcomers would emerge from this competition. The circle is only so big, resources are only so abundant. When there are more people, and the food isn't enough, those hungry will certainly find a way.
At least before this, she must defend herself against some newcomers who are about to emerge.
If they can be used by her, great, if not, then she'd have to stomp them into the ground before they grow.

On the other hand, knowing Ying Jing was going to participate in the competition, Weiyi specially took her out for a celebration.
"My sister is so beautiful; the initial selection will definitely be no problem. By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask, what program have you prepared for this competition?"
Ying Jing took a big bite of sausage and froze.
"You're not going to tell me you haven't prepared a program, are you!"
"Who said that, I've long prepared one."
Weiyi had an expression like she didn't believe it.
Ying Jing did prepare, but she accidentally prepared too much and didn't know which to choose.
When she got home in the evening, she grabbed Zhao Qingran who just returned from a walk.
After watching her perform, Zhao Qingran had only one thought.
Beautiful.
Amazing.
She can't bring herself to feel jealous of such a dazzling presence.
Some people just stand there and seem like they've finished performing a movie.
This sentence was also said by paparazzi Abu.
Some people are born with the world feeding them, not to mention Ying Jing has the experience from her previous life; her change of expression can instantly shift from innocence to the desperate struggle of an aging old woman.
Ying Jing bounced, danced, and performed until she lay on the floor after ending the show.
"Which program do you think is good?"
All the programs are good, but if one must be chosen.
"Performance, I really liked the scene you just did. Instantly stirred up my emotions." But Zhao Qingran really couldn't see which movie scene Ying Jing was acting out.
Of course she didn't know.
Ying Jing acted randomly; that film hasn't come out yet, she just happened to think of it and improvised, it's a scene she really likes.
"However, for initial selection competition you definitely can't go and perform, it still has to be focused on singing and dancing."
This time Zhao Qingran gently reminded.
"Then why not combine singing and dancing?"
"Starting with such a high difficulty?"
"For the initial selection, the judges certainly wouldn't watch for long, and if the ranking is low, they might even get aesthetic fatigue. You just need to present the best segment and impress the judges!" Zhao Qingran was very serious when she said this, analyzing the pros and cons of each aspect for her.
Ying Jing was greatly shocked after listening.
"Qingran, you're too amazing! Awesome."
Just go according to what she said.
After saying goodnight to each other, Ying Jing dived headfirst into training.
Luckily, Mrs. Ying sent her to learn dance for a few years when she was young; the foundation is still there, although not as good as professional dancers, combining it with singing for the initial selection would be a highlight.
This back and forth took several days, she completely threw the matter of chasing her husband to the back of her mind.
This led a certain individual in the office to go from checking his phone three times a day to frequently checking it now.
Zhang Yang who knew the situation didn't dare to breathe heavily, cautiously following the general manager.
One day, he couldn't stand it anymore and tentatively reminded Wen Fucheng.
"Miss Ying might be busy, maybe you should call her personally and ask."
The little girl said she would chase him, is this the way of chasing by putting people aside?
Second Uncle is angry.
Angry, but also a little missing that little rascal who forgot about him.
"Book me a ticket to Hu City."
Just came back a few days ago and going again, truly treating tickets as if they're free!
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Yang stepped out to finally breathe, just in time to see Xie Weisi coming over, upon hearing Wen Fucheng was heading to Hu City, he immediately shouted to go too.
At this time, Ying Jing is at home waiting for the notification of the initial selection competition, but even as it is about to end, she hasn't received a call from the program crew.
"Weren't they supposed to notify the date and day of the competition three days in advance? It's ending tomorrow." Weiyi especially came for her affairs.
She visited the Hu City competition area and found the staff, but the person responsible for distributing the numbers personally checked several times and said they haven't received Ying Jing's registration form.
The machine-entered contestant roster didn't have Ying Jing.
She couldn't believe the luck of losing just her registration form among so many.
Evidently, it was too late to register now, and nobody would offer a privilege to open a special channel for her.
This loss she must bear herself.
Returning home, Ying Jing said nothing; Weiyi was ready to comfort her when she saw Ying Jing's eyes reddened.
Tears were about to fall, yet stayed nestled within her eyes, unwilling to drop.
She clenched her teeth.
"I won't admit defeat."
No one in this lifetime dares bully her; she'll crush whoever tries.
But this doesn't hinder her from wanting to act spoiled.
Thus, after three days of restlessness, the big boss Wen finally received a call from the little princess five minutes before boarding.
"Second Uncle, I was bullied."
Oh, Wen Fucheng's heart!
Instantly elevated by her words.
"Wait for me."
Wait for me to come over and back you up, my princess.
