Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

The Shanghai Theatre Academy specially arranged several large classrooms for the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" production team for auditions and waiting.

In the waiting area, the actors sat together in groups, mostly from their respective companies or schools.

Among them, Jiaxing Media was the most eye-catching, with Dilraba Dilmurat, Zhang Bingbing, Gao Weiguang and others all present.

Compared to the students from those colleges, the artists from Jiaxing Media were already quite famous. When they saw these seniors, the students felt both envious and excited.

Dilraba sits in a core position at Jiaxing Media. With Tang Lou's high regard for her, Yang Mi has already regarded Dilraba as a key newcomer to be cultivated, treating her as both a mentor and a friend.

Dilraba put in a lot of effort for the role of Bai Fengjiu. Although Tang Lou is the producer of this project, the director is Lin Yufeng, and there are many other investors involved. Therefore, Dilraba is not sure if she will definitely get the role, and she still needs to be good at it herself.

This also gives Tang Lou sufficient reason to support him.

Zhang Bingbing, Gao Weiguang, and the others were also cramming at the last minute, still looking at the audition scripts and studying the characters.

In 2015, these individuals were still relatively unknown and considered third-tier "small karaomi" (a term used to describe lesser-known, less established individuals), and they were filled with anxiety.

"Sister Mi, since you value this drama so much, we must work hard to get the role."

With an investment of nearly 300 million yuan and directed by Lin Yufeng, we might just become an overnight sensation with this drama.

Gao Weiguang really liked the character of Donghua Dijun in the script, especially the white-haired look. The production team invited him to audition for the role, which was exactly what he wanted.

Besides Jiaxing Media, two newbies were also invited to audition.

Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong entered hand in hand. They had been staying together for the past few days to prepare for the audition, and their relationship had quickly warmed up.

"Sister Chaoyue, I'm a little nervous. Do you think I can do it?"

Zhou Jieqiong was only seventeen years old and had never seen anything like it.

Compared to Zhou Jieqiong, Yang Chaoyue is much better. After the experience of "Produce 101", she has become much more composed.

"Jieqiong, don't be afraid. The boss thinks we can do it, and we definitely can."

"Think back to when I went straight from a sock factory to the stage of 'Produce 101.' I was even more nervous and scared than you are now, but I still made it through."

To encourage Zhou Jieqiong, Yang Chaoyue whispered in her ear:

"Don't forget, we're the boss's people. We have to give him face. As long as we're not too bad, it'll be fine."

Thinking of Tanglou, Zhou Jieqiong was still a little worried: "But this time, Director Lin Yufeng isn't in charge of the interview; there are other teachers too. Can the young boss really be that effective?"

Yang Chaoyue patted her chest and assured him:

"That's because you don't know how capable the boss is. When I first participated in the recording of 'Produce 101,' the mentors Huang Zitao, Zhang Jie, and Show Lo came in and all gathered around me to chat. They even gave me high fives to encourage me."

"Back then, the other trainees all thought I was the Cool Cat Princess, and they were all very polite to me during the subsequent recordings."

The more Yang Chaoyue recalled her previous competition history, the more she felt Tang Lou's invisible hand pushing her to the night of the final competition.

His impression of the young boss was that he was exceptionally talented and had a huge influence; in the projects he led, the boss had the final say!

After hearing this, Zhou Jieqiong felt a little more relaxed and made up her mind to stick close to Tang Lou.

...

Industry insiders at the scene were somewhat hostile and skeptical of Yang Chaoyue's audition.

Despite feeling the malice and ridicule around her, Yang Chaoyue didn't care at all.

Instead, Zhou Jieqiong was a little unhappy, glaring angrily at those gossiping people.

"Sister Chaoyue, they're so mean! Why can't we audition?"

Yang Chaoyue was used to this: "Let them talk. I'm just lucky, but I know that we must seize any opportunity that comes with luck."

"My boss pays me a salary, so coming to auditions is my job. No job is without its share of unfair treatment. What they say won't affect me."

Seeing how mature and composed Yang Chaoyue, who was about the same age as her, Zhou Jieqiong understood why she had succeeded.

Sister Chaoyue has a real charm; she's down-to-earth, resilient, and has Tang Lou as a benefactor.

Zhou Jieqiong also stopped listening to the chatter around her.

"We're Tang Lou's people, we don't care what you think. So what if we've never acted before?"

Two young girls sat together, waiting for their numbers to be called so they could go in for their interviews.

After most people had arrived, the artists from Tianyu Media finally arrived late.

Zheng Shuang came in with her assistant, and Yu Menglong mingled among Zheng Shuang's assistants, walking in somewhat humbly.

Zheng Shuang can be considered the biggest star in this audition. She became famous at a young age and reached the peak of her career right from the start, which made her very arrogant.

After Zheng Shuang came in, she looked around. Since they were the last to arrive, there weren't many empty seats left; they were just scattered around.

"You two move over, we're taking this area."

Zheng Shuang was somewhat bossy. Besides telling Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong to move, she also pointed to the people next to her.

"You all go to the back too. I don't like too many people around."

After Zheng Shuang finished speaking, her assistant began to take action.

Yu Menglong, somewhat embarrassed, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Yang Chaoyue and the others, speaking gently:

"Excuse me, sisters, please make way. Our Shuangjie prefers a quiet environment."

That's just how the entertainment industry is; whoever is popular has the power.

Zheng Shuang has been doing very well these past few years, and Tianyu Media is one of the investors this time. She also has a very close relationship with Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi.

Those third-tier actors, seeing Zheng Shuang's grand entrance and her status, dared not offend her.

These people even wanted to curry favor with Zheng Shuang.

"Sister Shuang, please. We'll go to the back."

"I never expected to be able to participate in today's audition with Sister Shuang. I feel so honored. Sister Shuang, can I take a picture with you?"

"Sister Shuang, you look so beautiful."

"Sister Shuang, are you here to audition for the role of Bai Fengjiu?"

...

These people saw that Zheng Shuang took her demands for granted, and Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong, who had been kicked out, were completely forgotten.

These people in the entertainment industry already looked down on Yang Chaoyue, and kicking her when she was down was a common occurrence for them.

"Little factory girl, get out of the way for Sister Shuang, hurry up and go to the back."

Zheng Shuang felt at ease about the bullying of Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong by those around her. Given her status in the entertainment industry, it was only natural for her, a senior, to ask several newcomers to give up their seats.

Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong were somewhat embarrassed by Zheng Shuang's team's aggressive approach.

The two people stood up and looked back. Since Zheng Shuang's team had occupied this area, the people who had left earlier had taken over the remaining spots.

If the two of them leave in a moment, there won't even be a place to sit. Are they supposed to stand in the aisle?

Just as the two girls were feeling a bit wronged and didn't know how to handle the situation...

Dilraba stood up: "Yang Chaoyue, come over here, let's squeeze in together."

Reba knew Tang Lou somewhat and knew that Yang Chaoyue was one of his people, so how could she sit idly by at a time like this?

Moreover, she naturally felt some aversion and dislike towards Zheng Shuang.

"Weiguang, Bingbing, move over so the two younger sisters can sit down."
