Chapter 54 The Dream of 4 Million Girls
Having just finished auditioning for a supporting role in an unknown film crew, Zhao Liying was preparing to return to her rented apartment.
Just then, she received a phone call.
The voice on the phone sounded somewhat familiar, but what the other person said left her frozen in place.
In just a moment, Xiaoyuan's face was covered with tears.
No one knows how many auditions she did or how many supporting roles she played before she became famous.
Even though playing Qing'er in the new My Fair Princess made her somewhat famous, it was only a minor fame, and it was difficult for her to get a leading role.
Now, playing the second female lead in a top-tier production is a huge opportunity and the best resource she can access right now.
"Okay, Director Li, I'll go right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Liying wiped away her tears and revealed a resolute look in her eyes.
It's not time to be happy yet. We have to wait until filming is finished, the show airs smoothly, and we reap the benefits of the show's success before we can indulge ourselves a little...
"Go for it, Zhao Liying, you can do it!"
……
When she arrived at the star-studded building for the second time, she still felt as if she had been transported to another world.
The lobby, which was bustling just two days ago, is now deserted, with no one else besides the front desk staff.
Before she could recover from the momentary noise, several people suddenly arrived outside the door.
Sun Yizhou, Lin Gengxin, and even Mao Xiaotong were with them.
It's obvious that these people are also here to sign contracts.
What puzzled her was why Mao Xiaotong was there too.
When Zhao Liying saw them, the group of people who had just entered also saw a round-faced girl standing in the hall, looking on with emotion.
They used to be curious about who beat Mao Xiaotong to get the second female lead, but now they know.
This round-faced girl, I think she played a role in the new version of Huan Zhu Ge Ge, right...?
Especially Mao Xiaotong, from the first moment she saw Zhao Liying, she knew that this was the person who beat her to get the role of the second female lead.
Because they are actually the same type of actress, both of them are sweet and charming.
Thinking about this, she suddenly understood the feeling of "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
But she was a professionally trained actress who had heard about similar things countless times both in and out of class, and being a respectable person, she quickly adjusted her emotions.
So upon seeing Zhao Liying, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, my name is Mao Xiaotong. Are you here to sign a contract too?"
Zhao Liying nodded slightly. Still unclear about the situation, she chose to remain silent and observe.
When Mao Xiaotong saw her like this, he immediately understood.
"Don't worry, you signed a contract for the second female lead. I lost!"
"But at least I got a third female lead role, so it's not a complete loss."
"Won instantly"
Admit defeat openly; there's nothing shameful about losing.
Her dignified and generous actions instantly won Zhao Liying's favor.
"My name is Zhao Liying. I'm glad I got into this project. After all, there were so many people auditioning the other day. Getting in requires both skill and luck."
Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she beat me to get this role; she really has something special."
This shows that everyone got in based on their abilities, but it also suggests that I might have had a bit more luck.
Sure enough, none of those who have risen through the ranks without a professional background are easy to mess with!
At this moment, Sun Yizhou and Lin Gengxin also stepped forward and said, "Hello, we are also here to sign a contract."
After everyone introduced themselves, Lin Gengxin said, "By the way, you're probably not in the group. Add me as a friend, and I'll add you to the group!"
Before Zhao Liying could reply, Sun Yizhou pulled Lin Gengxin behind him and said, "Beautiful lady, this guy just wants to add you, don't fall for his tricks!"
"Hey, Old Sun, why are you just like those monkeys from Mount Emei!"
"You and your partner are doing great in your relationship, while I'm still single!"
Lin Gengxin said with dissatisfaction.
However, this amused Zhao Liying and Mao Xiaotong, the two lively characters.
"Alright, you two, stop bullying her."
"Come on, add me after you're done, I'll add you back!"
After saying that, Mao Xiaotong added Zhao Liying on QQ and pulled her into a group chat.
Besides her, Lin Gengxin, Sun Yizhou, and Qiao Renliang were also present.
At this point, Zhao Liying also realized what kind of group it was.
Most of these people have specialized degrees, so you can always get in touch with them through various channels.
And who knows if these people shared the news in other groups after the audition?
At that moment, Zhao Liying suddenly understood the value of a professional school education.
But she's not one to give up easily. If she can't compete in terms of connections, then she'll compete in terms of ability and hard work!
After joining the group, Zhao Liying asked who Lin Gengxin was in the group.
But to their surprise, the group burst into laughter.
"This is him, the dream of 1.4 billion girls!"
As Sun Yizhou was speaking, Lin Gengxin covered his mouth, but it was to no avail.
Zhao Liying raised an eyebrow and, sure enough, found the person whose name the group admin had changed to "The Dream of 1.4 Billion Girls".
"Added you, nice to meet you!"
As she spoke, Zhao Liying reached out her hand to Lin Gengxin, which made Lin Gengxin momentarily dazed.
At that time, he was still quite green.
However, some things end before they even begin.
"Don't overthink it, I've added other people too!"
With a snap, Lin Gengxin felt his heart shatter.
"Stop pretending, I know you too well!"
"Stop talking!"
Amidst the bickering, the receptionist had already made a phone call to her superiors.
When Li Mugo went downstairs, he saw the people who had successfully auditioned playing around.
His face immediately darkened. Could he really act well in this drama?
Seeing the person calling out numbers through a megaphone during the audition, the group finally calmed down.
"My name is Li Mugo, and I'm the executive director of this production. I'm here to take you up to sign the contract!"
After saying that, he turned around and led everyone upstairs.
Behind him, several people exchanged glances.
I thought it was just a regular call-out, but it turns out it was an assistant director or even an executive director...
This made them immediately afraid to say more; it was best not to make any rash moves before figuring out their personalities.
Time passed in silence, and after being led into separate conversations, each person emerged with a contract in their hand.
This trip is just to confirm the contract. Those who trust it can sign it directly, while those who are more cautious can take it back to have a lawyer review it.
Although all of them wanted to act in the show, they all ultimately decided to take the matter back to their lawyers.
Those without brains in this industry won't survive to the end.
"If you don't have a lawyer here, let's go together!"
Before leaving, Mao Xiaotong said to Zhao Liying.
Sun Yizhou explained from the side, "How much we earn right now doesn't matter to us. The most important thing is to get good roles and make a name for ourselves!"
These words instantly opened another door for Zhao Liying.
Although she was signed by Huayi Brothers when she debuted, the company basically left her to her own devices, and she knew nothing about the industry's operations.
This led to a difference in understanding between her and the other professionals.
At this moment, Zhao Liying did not refuse their kindness.
Firstly, it allows me to access knowledge from the mainstream circles; secondly, refusing now would make things more difficult later, since we still have to work together for a while.
Therefore, when Zhao Liying went with the others to see a lawyer to review the contract, she felt a mixture of unease and anticipation.
But overall, everyone expects more, and the others feel the same way.
They all hope to use the roles they've worked so hard to get to boost their popularity and then gain more leverage later on.
