Chapter 51: Act VII: Fan Letter (3)

Tan Yiming's understanding of musicals was pretty close to nothing. However, because he often dubbed movies, he had seen many musical movies.

In recent years, the country had introduced musical movies more frequently. Even in animated films made for children, the protagonist had to sing and dance. It was a pity that Tan Yiming was born with incomplete five-tones. Every time he dubbed this type of film, he needed a special singer to accompany him and be responsible for singing publicly for the protagonist.

After he learned that Xiang Cai was actually a musical actor, Tan Yiming felt it was unexpected.

But remembering all the details when he was chatting with Guess five years ago, in fact, it could have been seen.

The Guess at that time was a "pop song insulator". Every time he sang a song at a festival, it was a musical score. If he was not related to this profession, it would probably not be so familiar to him.

It was just that Tan Yiming was so careless at that time, and he didn't notice the truth that the boy tried to cover up.

Tan Yiming had too many questions and was too curious about Xiang Cai.

He desperately wanted to know him, to understand the bits and pieces of the past five years that Xiang Cai had experienced alone.

Think of it ... from the standpoint of a friend.

Taking advantage of being his own boss, he openly deserted his working responsibilities.

He went and searched for the musical, Fan Letter, which Xiang Cai starred in at the age of 20.

Unfortunately, there was no full version of the official musical on the Internet. He could only piece together the appearance of 20-year-old Xiang Cai through a few drafts and a few behind-the-scenes interviews.

This was a work that came out of a small theater in South Korea. When it was played in South Korea, it was well-received. After being reproduced into the Chinese version, it attracted countless musical actors.

Xiang Cai's ability to stand out from so many candidates was an inspirational story.

Although the musical theatre industry was also part of the entertainment industry, it still had a very different mode of operation than the entertainment industry.

Unlike ordinary artists, many of the musical actors had not signed a contract with a company, and naturally there was no agent or propaganda team to handle the work for them. Most of them did it alone, and when they saw that a certain musical theatre crew was recruiting actors, submitted their resumes to audition. After passing the audition, it took months of rehearsals before performing on stage.

If the cooperation went smoothly and the performer worked hard, they would have "put their name" on the director's and the producer's hearts. When there was any good script and role next time, they would be given first preference to audition.

Twenty-year-old Xiang Cai was only a freshman who had just stepped into the university gates. After learning about the selection from his teacher, he submitted his resume to audition.

What a coincidence, the producer of this musical was actually the director Tang Fengyu, Xiang Cai had once met!

In front of the computer, Tan Yiming opened the interview with the director released by a certain media—

—Director Tang Fengyu once directed the Chinese version of Out of My World. When talking about Xiang Cai, who was a leading male actor for the first time, he was full of praise.

"Actually, I met Xiang Cai when he was seventeen years old. At that time, I thought that the child had a very good aura. I didn't expect that his growth would bring me such a big surprise after just three years. When he came to audition, I immediately decided that he would play Shixun.
