[BL] Accidental Mark

Chapter 25

Cheng Xia was the last person to participate in the audition today. The moment he went out, the staff at the audition scene started to pack things up. An entire day of auditions made everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Pei Shaoze actively suggested, "You have worked hard. I will treat you tonight. Let's have a meal together."

Zhang Fan had already booked a nearby restaurant. Pei Shaoze called all the cast creators over and closed the door to chat while eating.

It was decided that Qin Nian would be played by Cheng Xia and no one had any opinion. After all, Cheng Xia's performance was really remarkable. The author, President Pei and the director really liked him. As for other roles, Pei Shaoze asked, "Who do you think is more appropriate to play Lu Fengyang, the protagonist?" He glanced at the author Lemongrass. "Teacher Lemongrass, do you have any actors you like?"

Lemongrass recalled it carefully and shook her head. "To be honest, there are many alphas who auditioned in the morning. They are more handsome than the other but I don't have any special impression of them."

The same was true for Liu Xueyi. He took out his notebook and took a look. Then he spoke with a bitter expression. "I have scored every actor. The alphas in the morning were even messier than the afternoon. Lu Fengyang's personality is a bit bad-tempered but most people played him as a third-rate gangster!"

Pei Shaoze thought to himself, 'It is no problem for Cheng Xia to play the protagonist but who will play with him? If Lu Fengyang's role isn't chosen well it will be very embarrassing if they can't cooperate well enough.'

Pei Shaoze didn't particularly like the alphas in the morning. The ones who impressed him most in the audition were Ye Mingqian and Cheng Xia.

Ye Mingqian's acting skills were really good but his appearance was too inconsistent with a cool and handsome alpha. Pei Shaoze thought for a moment before suddenly suggesting, "If it doesn't work, look for someone from the outside. I have watched a lot of school dramas recently. Director Liu, what do you think about the alpha who starred in the drama 'Classmate Next Door' that you filmed the year before last?"

Liu Xueyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect President Pei to watch the small drama he made two years ago. He thought back for a moment and asked tentatively, "President Pei, are you talking about Shen Kai?" Liu Xueyi saw Pei Shaoze nodding and immediately frowned. "Shen Kai was a small, unknown star when filming with me. His acting skills are very good but he is very Buddhist. He had no works for over a year."

Obviously, he didn't expect President Pei to pay attention to this type of 18th tier unknown star. In fact, the reason why Pei Shaoze knew was because he watched many school dramas to find a suitable person to play with Cheng Xia like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Pei Shaoze said, "Shen Kai has worked with you once. If you cooperate again then you will be more tacit. Cheng Xia is a newcomer. If the protagonist who plays with Cheng Xia is also an inexperienced newcomer, the filming will often NG. This will delay the crew's schedule."

Liu Xueyi quickly understood. "President Pei, you mean to choose an alpha actor who has already worked with me for Lu Fengyang's role and let him lead Cheng Xia so the filming will be smoother?"

Pei Shaoze nodded. "What do you think, Director Liu?"

Liu Xueyi thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.

In a drama, if the two main characters were newcomers with no experience then the risk was too great. If one of them had already worked with the director and had tacit understanding then Director Liu would be able to play more smoothly. Shen Kai was now a small star and wasn't expensive. He also had good acting skills and this was the most appropriate when thinking carefully.
