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

"Yuri, how did it go?"

Seeing Quan Youli walk out with a smile, Lin Yun'er hurriedly stepped forward and asked with some concern.

Both of them are in the same group, so if Kwon Yoo-ri can get the role, it will also benefit her.

"Eliminated!"

Kwon Yoo-ri shook her head, but there was no sadness on her face.

"What a pity!"

Lin Yun'er sighed, feeling sorry for Quan Youli. She had seen her come out with a smile on her face and thought it was a done deal.

"Next!"

Just then, Zhang Tian'ai stood at the door and continued calling out numbers.

"I'm number 3!"

Yang Chenglin picked up the number, walked up to Zhang Tianai, confirmed the number, and went into the audition room.

The camera then cuts back to the audition room.

"Hello, Director!"

Yang Chenglin entered the audition room. Although she was a little reserved, she was much better than the previous two.

Let's begin!

Gong Li nodded to Yang Chenglin.

"yes!"

Yang Chenglin responded and began her performance.

"Alright, Ms. Yang, we'll contact you if there's any further news!"

After Huo Wenxi finished speaking, Yang Chenglin politely bowed and took her leave.

"How so?"

Lin Bufan glanced around.

"Next one!"

Gong Li and Leonardo DiCaprio both shook their heads.

The meaning is clear: those destined to be eliminated don't need to be scored.

"good!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

Following that, several other people, such as Lu Jingshan, Zhong Jiaxin, Wang Ziwen, and Kan Qingzi, auditioned, and the result was the same: no scoring was required.

Neither their appearance nor their temperament fit the character of A'Ruo.

"Hello director, I am Chen Yanxi, number 8."

Chen Yanxi walked in and stood in the middle to greet everyone.

Let's begin!

As soon as Chen Yanxi entered, Gong Li and Xiao Lizi, including Lin Bufan, also had their eyes light up.

All I can say is that Chen Yanxi's image and temperament at this moment are excellent.

"Okay, director!"

Chen Yanxi does have acting skills.

The later actress who played Xiaolongbao simply didn't choose the right role; she just wasn't the kind of classical beauty.

"I'd give it a 7!"

After Chen Yanxi finished her performance, Gong Li looked at Lin Bufan and ultimately gave him a score of 7.

Her image and acting skills are good in all aspects, but she is still lacking something, so Gong Li gave her a score of 7.

"7.5 points!"

After careful consideration, Leonardo DiCaprio gave the score a moderately high one, but not low either.

"good!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, then put a checkmark next to Chen Yanxi's name and marked the score as '21 points'.

Lin Bufan felt that Chen Yanxi was qualified, but she was still a bit short of the A'Ruo in his heart, so he gave her a score of 6.5.

"Hello director, my name is Guo Caijie!"

"Hello director, my name is Lou Yixiao!"

"Hello director, my name is Song Tie!"

Guo Caijie was too short, Lou Yixiao's temperament was off, but Song Tie was alright. In the end, the three of them gave her a total of 22.5 points.

"Hello director, my name is Wang Xinling, and I'm from Taiwan!"

Wang Xinling's sweet voice rang out.

After a brief introduction, Wang Xinling began her performance.

Initially, Lin Bufan, Gong Li, and Leonardo DiCaprio had high expectations for her, after all, her appearance was definitely up to par, and her temperament was quite suitable.

However, once Wang Xinling started performing, the entire scene instantly fell silent.

Wang Xinling's acting skills can be described as the worst among all the people Lin Bufan and the others auditioned for.

It's understandable, though, since she started as a singer and acted in idol dramas in Taiwan, which don't require much acting skill.

"Ms. Wang Xinling, we will contact you again if needed."

After Wang Xinling left, it was time for the scoring.

"Next one!"

Lin Bufan, Gong Li, and Xiao Lizi shook their heads almost simultaneously.

"Hello director, my name is Yuan Shanshan!"

The next person to enter was Yuan Shanshan, who had already worked with Lin Bufan.

"Okay, let's begin the performance!"

Lin Bufan said expressionlessly.

He knew Yuan Shanshan's acting skills well; the role of A'Ruo was definitely not one she could handle.

Sure enough, after Yuan Shanshan finished her performance, everyone present frowned.

It's one thing if their image and temperament are wrong, but the key issue is that their acting skills are also lacking.

"Director Lin..."

Yuan Shanshan looked at Lin Bufan, trying to get closer to him.

From Yuan Shanshan's perspective, she did work with Lin Bufan, albeit as a minor supporting character.

"Alright, Shanshan, this role isn't suitable for you."

Out of respect for Yang Mi, Lin Bufan waved to Yuan Shanshan.

"Okay, fine!"

Yuan Shanshan felt somewhat disappointed.

"Next!"

"Hello Director, hello Ms. Gong Li, hello Mr. Leon, hello Ms. Huo, my name is Huang Shengyi." After Huang Shengyi walked in, she greeted each of them in turn.

Looking at Huang Shengyi in front of him, Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

If it were in her early years, when Huang Shengyi played the mute girl, the role of A'ruo would have been practically tailor-made for her.

It can be said that Huang Shengyi squandered a winning hand.

She rose from an unknown in the industry to become a top-tier actress in the Chinese entertainment circle overnight thanks to her role as a mute girl.

Having risen to prominence overnight, she seems to have forgotten the path she came from.

I don't know if it was because Stephen Chow was harsh on her or for some other reason, but she actually made such a big fuss, which was a huge loss for her.

The entertainment industry is a place where personal relationships are very important.

Huang Shengyi, you've gone to such extremes. Who would dare to hire you in the future?

Yes, Stephen Chow may not be very popular in the industry, but one thing is the same: they are all directors and bosses.

No director or boss would like someone like Huang Shengyi.

As for her relationship with Lin Bufan, although something happened between them, it was all about physical intimacy, not feelings.

"Ms. Huang Shengyi, we will contact you if we need anything in the future."

After Huang Shengyi finished her performance, Huo Wenxi said calmly.

She has acting skills, and her appearance is acceptable, but her eyes don't lie.

The most difficult part of acting is conveying emotion through the eyes.

Huang Shengyi's eyes couldn't move anyone present, so she was definitely not suited for the role.

"Next!"

"Hello director, my name is Mao Xiaotong!"

The moment Mao Xiaotong walked in, everyone's expression lit up.

It can only be said that in the "good girl" category, Mao Xiaotong is almost overwhelmingly superior, and her eyes are very clear.

This trait is something that only Zhang Jianing has exhibited so far.

Let's begin!

Gong Li looked at Mao Xiaotong with a gentle tone.

"yes!"

Mao Xiaotong took a deep breath, recalled her idea, and then began to perform.

Born in 88, her age is very suitable, and she graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, so her acting skills are definitely capable of supporting the role.
