The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

Unfortunately, this time it was the same as last time.

Yin Xiaotian's acting skills are decent, but his fit with the character is really not high. The simplicity of the character Kuang Yumin can hardly be acted out by acting alone.

"Alright, go back and wait for our notification!"

"Yes, Director Lin!"

Yin Xiaotian left the room in disappointment.

He knew very well that saying "go back and wait for notification" was just a disguised rejection. If the other party really considered him, they would say something ambiguous even if they didn't sign him on the spot.

Seeing Yin Xiaotian emerge from the audition room with a disappointed look on his face, the people outside almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ye

Next, Liu Ye entered the room and left a few minutes later with a disappointed expression.

It would be unfair to say that Liu Ye has no acting skills, but his acting skills are genuinely not very good, and he always acts stiffly when he acts.

Hu Bin, Nie Yuan, and Lu Yi then entered the room one after another, and left with almost the same disappointed expressions.

Among the four popular young actors, Hu Bin's acting skills are arguably the worst. He's okay at acting in idol dramas or domineering CEO roles, but domineering CEO dramas aren't popular these days.

Nie Yuan's acting skills are also good, but his appearance does not match the role.

In fact, for some movie roles, it's not just about acting skills, but also about appearance; in some ways, appearance is even more important than acting skills.

Poor acting skills can be improved, but a mismatch between appearance and acting ability is the most fatal flaw.

"Write down Lu Yi's name!"

Lin Bufan turned his head to look at Shen Ao.

Lu Yi's image is quite suitable for the role of Kuang Yumin, but his acting skills are somewhat lacking. However, it's not a big problem. If there's really no other way in the end, we can just film it a few more times after the movie starts shooting.

"Yes, Director Lin!"

Auditions continue!

After many male actors were eliminated, only Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei remained.

"Tong Dawei!"

"They're here!"

Tong Dawei entered the audition room, first introducing himself, and then following the same procedure as everyone else, he had five minutes to prepare with the script.

"Alright, go back and wait for our notification!"

Lin Bufan looked at Tong Dawei expressionlessly.

"Yes, Director Lin!"

While Tong Dawei was disappointed, he also felt a glimmer of hope. He wasn't sure if he would be eliminated, but what if he was selected in the end?

Unfortunately, he didn't see that right after he turned around, Lin Bufan drew an X over his name.

Tong Dawei's acting skills are actually quite average, neither high nor low, just watchable, but nothing to be surprised about.

"Hello, Director Lin!"

This wasn't the first time Huang Xiaoming had met Lin Bufan.

"Xiaoming, you're the last one. I'll give you a little more time to prepare!"

Lin Bufan nodded to Huang Xiaoming.

It's widely acknowledged in the industry that Huang Xiaoming has high emotional intelligence and knows how to handle situations, and this is undeniable.

Since the two met, Huang Xiaoming would send a lot of fresh seafood to Panhai International every holiday.

In his words, he is from Qingdao and lives by the sea, which is convenient. Moreover, seafood is not very expensive, so he just wanted to try something new.

The seafood was not only a gift for Lin Bufan, but also for Liu Yifei.

He and Liu Yifei were co-stars in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and Huang Xiaoming took good care of Liu Yifei on set.

The seafood wasn't supposed to be expensive, but it included lobsters and king crabs, and each time he delivered seafood, it was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Of course, tens of thousands of yuan is not much money for Huang Xiaoming.

But this friendship must be appreciated.

"Thank you, Director Lin!"

Huang Xiaoming carefully studied the script.

Since Lin Bufan had given him time, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to waste this opportunity.

Huang Xiaoming truly became a household name in mainland China starting with "The Emperor of Han Dynasty," where his performance was indeed remarkable.

In terms of his image, he is quite a good fit for the character of Kuang Yumin.

After Huang Xiaoming finished his performance, Lin Bufan simply nodded to him and told him that he would be notified of the follow-up.

"Who do you think is more suitable, Huang Xiaoming or Lu Yi?"

Lin Bufan rubbed his temples and looked at the two people beside him.

To be honest, he wasn't particularly satisfied with either Huang Xiaoming or Lu Yi. If we're talking about appearance, Lu Yi was better, but his acting was a bit stiff.

Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are decent, better than Lu Yi's, but his suitability for the role is slightly lacking.

If we were to score them out of 100, they would both score around 80, which is definitely passing, but not yet meeting Lin Bufan's expectations.

However, he really couldn't think of anyone in the industry more suitable for the role.

"Alright, I'll think about it again!"

Lin Bufan saw that the two of them were silent and waved his hand.

"Xiao Bai, call Sun Yiyin and ask if he'd be willing to sign with Kyoto Animation. If he is, he can play Liang Runsheng!"

Before leaving, Lin Bufan gave Bai Bing a word of instruction.

He thought about it again and realized that although Wen Zhang was a good actor, he was not trustworthy in terms of character. Moreover, in terms of the fit of the role, who could be more suitable for the role of Liang Runsheng than Lü Xiaobu?

In a sense, the two are similar, mainly because Sun Yiyi has not yet signed with a company.

"Yes, boss!"

……

"You two, when are you coming back to Shanghai? Let's go together!"

Outside the Kyoto Company, Lei Jiayin looked at Li Jiahang and Sun Yiyi.

Lei Jiayin and Sun Yiyi were students at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in 02 and have now graduated. However, they are both basically in Shanghai. After all, if you really think about it, they should belong to the Shanghai entertainment circle, but they are both minor figures and can't really be considered part of the circle.

However, since both of them are from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, they have slightly more opportunities in Shanghai than in Beijing.

Li Jiahang is from the class of 06, which is the freshman class of the Shanghai Theatre Academy this year.

"Speaking of which, your junior is quite bold, coming to audition right after starting university."

Lei Jiayin looked at Li Jiahang and patted him on the shoulder.

"hey-hey!"

Li Jiahang scratched his head.

Since we've decided to enter this industry, no one is a fool. Learning is important, but the role is even more important. This is such a rare opportunity, so we definitely have to give it a try. Even if we fail, it doesn't matter. But what if we succeed?

If it's something with zero risk and high returns, I should definitely give it a try.

"Who do you think will ultimately get the role of Liang Runsheng?"

Sun Yizhou looked at Lei Jiayin and Li Jiahang and started gossiping.

"It's hard to say, there are so many people..."

Lei Jiayin shook her head.

It's hard to say, after all, there are so many people auditioning, and he doesn't know most of them. But in his opinion, they have almost no chance.

"What a pity, I wish I could have gotten this role..."

Sun Yi shook her head with some regret.
