How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 149 Capturing Everyone
In the evening, Zhang Wen happily returned to the company with nine trainees.

The audition went more smoothly than expected, and everyone got a role in the movie "Silent Love". Although, apart from the four male and four female characters, the other characters did not have many parts, for the newcomers who had no acting experience, it exceeded their expectations.

As the old saying goes: Contentment is the greatest happiness.

They are very content now.

"Teacher Zhang, can we be considered to have officially debuted now?" Wang Yuxin said excitedly in the elevator, her eyebrows curved into crescents.

The crew auditioned for the fourth female role today, and she was finally chosen, so she is the biggest winner today.

Zhang Wen thought for a moment, then said, "Strictly speaking, your official debut will only be when your first work is released."

The entertainment industry produces many movies every year, but many of them cannot be released due to various reasons, so it is too early to be happy now. Once an actor is banned due to bad behavior, the movie cannot be released and cannot meet the audience, doesn’t this mean that his debut has failed and he has collapsed midway?

"Teacher, do you have time in the evening?" Wang Yuxin asked again.

"Don't you know whether I have time or not?" Zhang Wen asked back.

Wang Yuxin was stunned. The teacher needed to go back to the art exam training center to take special training classes in the evening and seemed to have no time.

Zhou Chuyuan, who was standing by, felt annoyed by Wang Yuxin's nagging, so she nudged her with her elbow and said, "Teacher, thank you for helping each of us get a role. We'd like to treat you to dinner tonight as a token of our gratitude."

Wang Yuxin nodded in agreement. This was exactly what she meant.

Although the opportunity was given by Director Xu, they knew very well that if it were not for Teacher Zhang's sake, Director Chen of the Film and Television Production Department would not give them the chance to audition for important roles such as the fourth male and fourth female roles, and the director would not replace the originally decided roles with them.

So on the way back to the company from the hotel, they discussed on WeChat how to thank Teacher Zhang. After much discussion, they finally decided to treat Teacher Zhang to a meal.

The reason I didn't give a gift was, on the one hand, that I couldn't judge the value of the gift, and on the other hand, I was worried that Teacher Zhang would not accept it.

There was once a trainee who, after seeing Teacher Zhang’s phone screen broken, bought a new model of Apple phone and gave it to Teacher Zhang after the special training class. However, Teacher Zhang sternly refused the gift, saying, “I’ve already paid the tuition, and accepting a gift is shameless.”

In the end, the phone was never delivered.

"Okay."

Zhang Wen heard this and said, "There's a bun shop across from my training center. Let's go there after get off work. After we finish eating, you can go to my special training class."

"Bun, bun shop?"

The nine trainees just stayed where they were, not even reacting when the elevator stopped, until they saw Teacher Zhang walk out, then they quickly followed.

They knew the soup dumpling shop opposite the training center. They had been there many times before. They could eat a full meal for only 20 yuan per person, and they could have a very sumptuous meal for 50 yuan per person.

The problem is that they wanted to thank Teacher Zhang very formally. At least they should find a larger restaurant or treat him to a meal at a bun shop to express their gratitude, but it sounds like they lack sincerity.

"Teacher, the bun shop is too small and doesn't even have a private room. I remember there seems to be a Grand Hyatt Hotel nearby. Shall we go there?" Zhou Chuyuan asked.

Zhang Wen stopped and turned to look at the person who was speaking. "You're already spending money lavishly before you even become a big star? When you get paid for the film, you can treat me to a nice meal."

Zhou Chuyuan and others were embarrassed at first, but after hearing what he said later, they immediately realized that Teacher Zhang was thinking about them, and their hearts were filled with emotion.

"Okay, teacher, we'll listen to you. A bun shop is a bun shop."

"Okay, dismiss. Remember what I said to you in the car. You must..."

"Low key!"

"Yes." Zhang Wen returned to the training department. Just as he sat down at his workstation, he saw Director Xu walking out of the office and looking at him.

"Teacher Zhang, how was the audition?" Xu Qingyu asked with concern.

As the head of the training department, she naturally hopes more than anyone else that the trainees in the department can make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. This is related to her bonus and her status in the company.

"Director Xu, Wang Yuxin and He Wenqi won the fourth female and fourth male roles respectively. The other seven trainees also won some roles in this audition." Zhang Wen said truthfully.

There's no way, the team's record is so strong that there's no need to brag.

"Huh? Really?"

Xu Qingyu was worried for the whole afternoon, fearing that Ai would not perform well in his first team leadership after becoming the head of teaching, thus affecting his future work.

What happened? She was overthinking it, and it gave her another surprise.

"Well done, Teacher Zhang! You not only completed the task, but also exceeded the target. This has never happened before. You're amazing!"

Xu Qingyu gave a thumbs up and deliberately praised loudly so that all the employees in the office could hear it, in order to establish the prestige of Teacher Zhang.

Who made this person so young? I was always worried that he wouldn't be able to convince the public.

"It's mainly because Director Xu provides good leadership." Zhang Wen said after listening.

This is not modesty or flattery, but truth from facts.

If Director Xu had not promoted him to the head of teaching and given all the resources to him, would he have had the opportunity to lead the team to audition?

Director Xu's wisdom lies in knowing how to employ people, which was the case with most wise rulers in ancient times.

Xu Qingyu smiled even more happily. Although she knew that this matter had little to do with her, she was still very happy with the other party's attitude. She did not act like Gu Chunyan, who was taking advantage of her seniority.

"Teacher Zhang, make good use of those resources. Our training department's performance this year depends entirely on you." Xu Qingyu patted the other person's shoulder, and his respect for him was evident in his words.

"Please rest assured, Director, I will seize every opportunity to allow the trainees in our training department to leave the company and enter the entertainment industry." Zhang Wen vowed.

"Well, I believe you."

As soon as Xu Qingyu left, colleagues immediately surrounded him.

"Teacher Zhang, it's you who has to win two auditions and nine roles. That's incredible."

"Teacher Zhang, I originally thought you had strong professional abilities, but I didn't expect your business abilities to be so strong as well. At the rate you're releasing trainees, our training department will be able to recruit new trainees very quickly."

"..."

Everyone was praising him, everyone had a look of admiration on their faces, almost kneeling down to him.

"It's not that I'm strong," Zhang Wen said suddenly. "It's because of you guys. It's your silent dedication behind the scenes that I've achieved my current leadership results. Without you, what can I do as a commander without any troops?"

When everyone heard this, their mentality collapsed.

In the past, when the training teacher led a team out, he would take all the credit on one person when he came back, but now, Teacher Zhang’s words directly captured everyone’s heart.

They are all training teachers, why is there such a big difference between them?
