Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Tang Lou's audition at the Shanghai Theatre Academy was naturally taken very seriously by the school's leadership.

The last time was when the crew of Tanglou's "Eternal Love" came to audition. At that time, it was Tanglou's first self-produced drama project, and Tanglou was still a newcomer.

Vice Dean Ou's initial consideration was largely due to Coolcat's investor background, but this time it was completely different.

Tang Lou has already proven his talent and vision through several projects, especially the groundbreaking innovation of the Mist Theater, which has earned him high prestige and recognition in the industry.

Vice Dean Ou greatly admired Tang Lou's boldness; the first person to take the plunge is always worthy of respect.

Therefore, the school was very supportive of Tanglou's preparation for the second high-quality suspense drama of the Mist Theater, and arranged the venue and helped with promotion well in advance.

At the same time, the school also encourages students to participate in auditions.

In addition to director Xin Shuang, Liao Fan, a senior alumnus, also came to the audition to accompany Tang Lou.

Dean Ou was very surprised to see Liao Fan standing respectfully beside Tang Lou.

Liao Fan's background and status are extraordinary, and he is also very proud. If Tang Lou hadn't really been capable, how could he have been treated this way?

Dean Ou admired the young man more and more, and came up with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Tang, welcome back to the school for another audition."

"It's only been a few months, but I didn't expect you to have already made Coolcat's self-produced dramas and variety shows so popular that they are leading the entire industry. I really admire you."

"President Tang, please give our students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy a lot of guidance in the future."

Dean Ou knew very well that Tanglou's productions were a guarantee of quality, and being selected for the production team by him would definitely allow an actor to fully demonstrate their potential.

Schools naturally want as many of their students as possible to become famous, as this greatly benefits the school's reputation and the future development of its students.

With the bond of alumni, collaboration becomes easier.

Therefore, Dean Ou very much hopes that Tanglou can select more students from his school this time.

In addition to students from the school, actors from other film and television companies and universities were also invited to this audition.

In terms of investment, this drama is still a low-budget production with a very concise plot. Therefore, with the main characters already cast, the supporting characters don't have many scenes.

However, many actors still came to compete for the role. Of course, they valued more than just this drama. They hoped to have the possibility of working with Cool Cat in the future. More precisely, they hoped to leave an impression on Tang Lou.

What if we get selected if there's a chance for collaboration later?

Tang Lou has a very good reputation in the industry now, and his principles for hiring people are admirable to the actors.

Tang Lou never said he would use the same few fixed actors. He was truly only responsible for the script and the role, and he chose the actors who he thought were the most suitable.

Moreover, everyone has also noticed that Tang Lou is really good at discovering the qualities and potential of actors. Basically, the roles he invites to play seem to be tailor-made for the actors.

This is why Tanglou is always able to create hit shows and make its characters go viral.

Besides actors recommended by entertainment companies, students from other universities, including the Shanghai Theatre Academy itself, were also eager to participate.

Dormitory for the 2016 freshmen.

Tian Xiwei and her roommate Zhang Yaqin were putting on makeup and chatting at the same time.

"Xiwei, the cast and crew of Cool Cat's 'The Silent Truth' are coming to our school to cast roles. Are you going?"

"The head of this team, Tang Lou, is said to be a top producer in the industry. If you can catch his eye, your show might just become an instant hit."

These roommates were all prepared to try their luck, but they also knew that with their looks and acting skills, they basically had no chance.

The most likely candidate is Tian Xiwei, the darling of their dorm.

Although Tian Xiwei has only just enrolled, she has already been featured in multiple media outlets during military training due to her stunning looks, and her enrollment photos have been widely circulated online.

Since Tian Xiwei has chosen the path of acting, she certainly cannot give up such an opportunity.

Moreover, Tian Xiwei also paid attention to Cool Cat's Tanglou. How could she not admire such a handsome and wealthy producer?

"Of course I'll go. Whether I get selected or not, it'll be good to make an appearance."

"Ideally, this time I could have some contact with Tang Lou and get to know him."

Tian Xiwei secretly looked at the few photos of Tang Lou that were available online, and the more she looked, the more she admired him.

"I wish I could be noticed by President Tang too."

Zhang Yaqin chimed in from the side:

"Who can disagree? President Tang is truly amazing. Look at what he's done for Yang Chaoyue. She went from a factory girl to a member of Rocket Girls, a celebrity guest on a variety show, and now gets all sorts of acting opportunities."

"He also directly propelled Dilraba and Jing Tian from being relatively unknown to becoming top-tier celebrities."

"Yeah, and Qin Hao too. He went from being a heartthrob in arthouse films to becoming a new top star in suspense dramas."

When Tang Lou's achievements were mentioned, the two girls perked up and became more and more admiring.

"I wish I could debut under such a big shot."

Zhang Yanqin's eyes were sparkling.

Tian Xiwei also had some fantasies and aspirations. What little girl wouldn't want a handsome, talented, and well-connected mentor to guide her?

After getting dressed, Tian Xiwei and Zhang Yaqin went to the audition waiting room together, feeling both nervous and expectant.

It has to be said that the appeal of Tanglou and Cool Cat is too strong. Even though the lead actors have already been confirmed, many actors have already come to audition for the supporting roles.

Among them are some actors who already have some fame.

Given their status, other production teams and producers simply wouldn't come.

Undoubtedly, everyone came for Tang Lou this time, hoping to leave an impression on him.

Perhaps the next time they're working on a new project in a tenement building, they'll think of themselves.

When Tian Xiwei and Zhang Yaqin arrived, the two complete novices chose to sit in an inconspicuous corner.

While they waited, Tang Lou led the audition team to greet and thank the participating actors.

Unlike the last time when Lin Yufeng took command, this time everyone greeted Tang Lou warmly.

Director Xin Shuang, who was essentially just a tool, was also very self-aware. She simply smiled and gestured to the actors, while all her attention was focused on Tang Lou.

When Tang Lou greeted the actors, he immediately noticed Tian Xiwei, his biggest target this time.

Tang Lou walked up to Tian Xiwei with great pleasure and greeted her specially.

"Oda, you're very welcome to audition. Do your best! Good luck!"

Tian Xiwei's delicate face flushed instantly. She never expected that Tang Lou would recognize her and even come to greet her.

Tian Xiwei's heart was pounding, her mind went blank, and all she could think about was how handsome and stylish the man in front of her was.
