Chapter 26--Film Contract Dispute

CHAPTER 26—The Film Contract Dispute

As soon as Xie Yu came out of the room, he saw Zhou Cheng who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Cheng asked him how things went, wanting to know how Xie Yu felt about the audition.

Xie Yu only shrugged, saying that he didn't get a positive response from the crew.

"Jiang Yike will be here soon, tsk..." Zhou Cheng rubbed his neck and took Xie Yu back to his room, "Fortunately, the results will be available within three days."

Xie Yu raised his eyebrows, understanding the meaning of Zhou Cheng's words.

The further back an actor is in an audition, the greater the impression they can leave on the crew and judges, which can naturally affect the decision-making meeting after the audition.

For top actors, if their professional ability is not outstanding enough, they won't ever be able to escape the life of cannon fodder.

Xie Yu wasn't worried about this though. In fact, he was more thoughtful.

Regarding the cooperation between a crew and an actor, in addition to the consideration of acting skills, there were many other factors, including the actors' connections, their own image positioning, their ability to drive traffic, and the final remuneration they'd receive. (TL: 'drive traffic' means to attract attention and popularity)

It would be too idealistic for him to think that he could rely solely on the audition to decide who would get a filming contract.

"Three days? Is it so fast?" He thought of his previous filming experiences where audition results would never come out so quickly.

But, when it came to the Interstellar Era, he could see how efficient the audition process was.

They walked down the corridor of the hotel and saw other residents from a distance, so they lowered their heads slightly to avoid their sight.

Fortunately, the guests in the distance didn't pay any attention to them, so Zhou Cheng and Xie Yu slowed down, and when the corridor was empty, they quickly opened the door and entered their room.

"It was agreed upon to start up the drama this month. If Tengfei delays it, Shen Qi won't agree." Zhou Cheng explained to Xie Yu.

Once he entered the room, he first got a glass of water for Xie Yu, and then a glass for himself and poured it down his throat.

After drinking, he continued talking, "Director Shen's net worth has skyrocketed in the past two months. Investors think highly of him, producers favor him, and actors all hope to use him to raise their status and get nominations... he should have numerous good opportunities at his fingertips, but he fell in love with <Blood Wanted>."

Xie Yu smiled without saying a word, sat on the sofa, and wanted to continue reading the script, but was stopped by Zhou Cheng.

"Someone on the Star Network broke the news that we came to the audition. Just don't respond." Zhou Cheng sat next to Xie Yu, took out his light brain, and pulled up the news page to show Xie Yu.

Xie Yu poked his head over and saw the two large characters of the word "vase" in the title at a glance.

—— Xie Yu, a large vase with a Golden Toilet, is said to be auditioning for <Blood Wanted>! ! ! (TL: a 'vase' is an actor who only has their looks going for them and has no talent in acting)

Xie Yu narrowed his eyes slightly without showing any irritation, and then leaned further over to read the text.

"Recently, the tourist season on Terran is at its peak. I came to Terran for sightseeing and I'm staying in an excellent hotel in the capital, Minglan City. I went to eat at a buffet today, and it seemed like I saw someone suspected of being a celebrity in the dining area. While eating, I overheard what the table next door was discussing—they talked about the <Blood Wanted> production team using a conference room at the hotel to hold auditions, and then revealed the names of many stars, including Xie Yu!"
