Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Isn't this the actor I've been looking for?

He wrote Lambeau's name on a piece of paper—he had already written down several names before this, all of which were actors he had his eye on.

They were all ordinary people, with no famous actors.

In Bai Qianqu's opinion, "Crazy Stone" is more suitable for grassroots actors to perform. It's not that those famous actors are bad at acting, but that their idol halo and stereotypes are too heavy, which makes the audience feel out of place as soon as they see them.

Bai Qianqu wanted to contact the other party, but he didn't know their phone number, so he called Xavier.

"Hello? Teacher Bai? What's up?"

Xavier spoke quickly, sounding as if he were very busy.

Bai Qianqu didn't waste any words and directly expressed her desire to contact the group of people on the paper, including Lan Bo.

Xavier paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, then quickly said, "No problem, I can help you find a way to contact them. You want them to participate in the audition, right? Okay, no problem."

Xavier agreed readily, which pleased Bai Qianqu greatly.

The reason Xavier did this was mainly because Cao Dawei had already given instructions that any request Bai Qianqu made, as long as it wasn't too unreasonable, should be met as much as possible.

Inviting actors to audition was not an unreasonable request, so Xavier agreed without much thought.

Time flew by, and a few days later, Xavier called to inform Bai Qianqu that the audition was on and hoped she would attend.

Without saying a word, Bai Qianqu immediately got up and set off.

Auditions are very important for actors, so he naturally couldn't skip them.

Soon they arrived at the film set, and Xavier led him to a room. The so-called audition room was very simple, with just a long table, four chairs, and a small, makeshift stage in front of it.

Cao Dawei and another petite girl were already sitting in chairs. When Bai Qianqu came in, Cao Dawei nodded to him, while the girl looked Bai Qianqu up and down, seemingly very interested in him.

Xavier immediately introduced, "This is our production producer, Ms. Furnessa, who is also an S-class actress in Destiny."

Furna interrupted Xavier: "Thank you, Xavier, but let me introduce myself."

She stood up, bowed dramatically, and then spoke in an exaggerated tone.

"Hello, Mr. Bai. I, Fu Ningna, as the producer of this film, am very pleased to welcome you as the screenwriter. The script you provided is excellent, and I sincerely hope that we can work together closely in the days to come to make this film a perfect success!"

It wasn't until Funina extended her hand that Bai Qianqu snapped out of her daze and awkwardly shook hands with her.

He never imagined he would see her here!

Instead of being a proper Fontainebleau water god, you've come here to be an actor and producer?

Do all these gods have nothing better to do?

However, it's not surprising that the other party is an S-level actress, after all, Funina does have a lot of acting talent.

However, it was indeed unexpected that she would become the producer of Cao Dawei's film crew.

This puzzled Bai Qianqu.

He shook hands with the other person and then sat down. No matter how complicated his inner thoughts were, he didn't show it on the surface.

Fu Ningna watched Bai Qianqu sit down expressionlessly, feeling somewhat speechless.

She's an S-class actress!

They are very well-known!

The other person didn't react at all when they saw me!

This inexplicably gave Funina a sense of frustration.

Could it be that his popularity has declined because he hasn't performed for over a year?

She glanced at Bai Qianqu and, finding that he was no longer looking at her, sat down somewhat dejectedly.

Once everyone was seated, the audition officially began.

The actors came in one after another, introduced themselves, and then were assigned different types of roles based on their age and gender, allowing them to improvise. Sometimes Cao Dawei would also make one or two requests for the actors to perform impromptu.

Throughout the entire process, Bai Qianqu and Xavier remained silent; Cao Dawei and Fu Ningna hosted the entire event.

One actor after another came in and out, and soon it was time for Lambo.

Today, Lambeau was unusually dressed in a rather formal outfit, which was also the most expensive piece of clothing he could afford.

To be honest, he was completely stunned when he received Xavier's call.

He originally thought it was a film crew looking for him to play a minor role, but from what they said, it turned out they wanted him to play a more important role.

This flattered Lambo, and then he was overjoyed!

After playing minor roles for so many years, is he finally going to make it big?

He was so happy that he jumped right off the bed in his rented room in the urban village, almost collapsing the creaking, broken bed.

Lambeau immediately vowed that he would seize this hard-won opportunity!

Arriving at the scene today, Lan Bo stood on the makeshift stage, looking at the four people in front of him. He seemed quite nervous, and his legs even trembled slightly.

Although he was somewhat prepared, he had never auditioned before, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Seeing this, Cao Dawei frowned slightly and was about to say something when Bai Qianqu, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Chapter 318 Opening Ceremony (Happy New Year's Eve!)

"It's okay, relax. There are no requirements. Just act like an ordinary person."

Seeing that Bai Qianqu had made a request, Lan Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Playing a nobody?

That's his specialty!

He recalled his previous experience playing minor roles and quickly got into character.

The audition process was short and ended quickly.

Afterwards, Cao Dawei's expression was not good.

Most of the actors who participated in the audition were people he knew and had worked with several times; they were actors he knew very well.

However, he was very dissatisfied with the result of this audition.

The actors' acting skills were fine, but when they performed certain scenes from the script, there was always a very subtle, indescribable sense of incongruity.

Fu Ningna shared this feeling, and she pointed out incisively, "It feels like they were acting rather deliberately and unnaturally when performing the characters in the script."

Xavier nodded in agreement.

“However, there were a few actors who really caught my eye,” Fu Ningna continued. “For example, that guy named Lambo, his performance was very pleasing to the eye, and I couldn’t find anything out of place in it.”

"You invited Lan Bo, Lao Bai, right?" Cao Dawei looked at Bai Qianqu. "I have to say, you have a good eye. This Lan Bo is perfect for playing the role of Hei Pi in the script."

“There are a few other actors who are also very good,” Fu Ningna quickly added, looking at Bai Qianqu with curiosity. As far as she knew, these actors with good acting skills seemed to have been invited by Bai Qianqu.

His ability to find suitable actors so accurately goes beyond mere luck.

It seems this screenwriter is quite talented.

Originally, the producer of "Crazy Stone" was not Fu Ningna, but someone else.

However, by chance, Fulina saw the script for this movie and was quickly captivated by it, especially by some of the plot points that made her burst out laughing.

How could I miss such a fun movie?

She approached Cao Dawei and expressed her desire to act in the film.

Originally, Cao Dawei should have been very happy to have an S-level actress like Fu Ningna volunteer to participate.

However, there wasn't a suitable role available. The only one who might be somewhat suitable was the female passerby on the cable car at the beginning.

Funina was clearly very dissatisfied with this minor character who only made one appearance.

Since she couldn't become a main character, she had to find another way, and eventually, Funina became the producer of the production team.

This can be considered another way to participate in filmmaking.

She had always wanted to meet the screenwriter of this movie, but Bai Qianqu hadn't been on set before, so she hadn't had the chance.

She finally met him today, and found that he had not disappointed her.

He's a very interesting person.

It seems that my decision to insist on participating in the filming of this movie was indeed the right one!

Previously, her agent had tried to stop her, saying that participating in this kind of movie would affect her image.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to her.

Fu Ningna is even more excited for this movie!

After his audition, Lambeau became even more nervous.

Although he had performed quite well during his audition, he noticed that there were many actors around him, including some of the more famous ones.

Do I have to compete with these people for a role?

His newly acquired confidence vanished again.

However, the results came out quickly, and Lambeau was surprised to find that he had actually been selected!

Although he was just a supporting character named "Blackie," he had far more screen time than his previous bit parts, and he was thrilled to discover that he finally had lines! He no longer had to be a mute!

He clenched his fists excitedly.

This time, he's going to prove himself to everyone!

Soon, it was the end of March.

The film is finally about to begin shooting, thanks to Cao Dawei's rich experience and thorough preparation. In addition, the film's investment cost is relatively small, so there is not much need to prepare, which saves a lot of time.

Some high-budget films may not be ready even after a year of preparation.

Bai Qianqu didn't rest during this time either; he continued to eat a lot of bread, to the point that he was really sick of it.

However, he felt that he still hadn't absorbed enough knowledge. The ocean of knowledge was simply too vast, and he dared not say that he knew everything.

There's a saying that goes something like that, and Bai Qianqu feels it makes a lot of sense.

A true master always has the heart of an apprentice.

Therefore, during this period, he was very patient and had a proper attitude when interacting with the crew and actors on set. He did not act arrogantly just because he was the screenwriter.
