I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

Five minutes passed quickly.

This group of auditioned actors began their performance.

What surprised Lu Ming was that among the actors who auditioned, there were two who performed very well before Zhong Yu appeared on the stage.

He didn't decide immediately, but put it on hold.

While others were performing one after another, Zhong Yu was still staring at the script.

It was not until it was his turn that he put down the A4 paper in his hand with ease.

The performance segment that Zhong Yu drew was the one where the male protagonist wrote the letter on the medicine box before his death.

He walked to the open space in the middle facing the three directors, and then lay down on the ground without hesitation.

He lay down without any hesitation, nor did he consider whether the ground was dirty.

Before this, some people had auditioned for this segment, but they all just acted it out.

"Let's start." Lu Ming said to Zhong Yu in the field.

He was looking forward to seeing Zhong Yu's performance.

As Lu Ming started, Zhong Yu's expression suddenly changed.

Weak, distracted, and yet forced to concentrate.

His mouth was moving, but no sound came out. However, from his lip shapes, he was saying "pen".

Then, he acted as if someone had really handed him a pen.

He half-propped himself up and wrote carefully, stroke by stroke, with trembling hands.

After writing the last stroke, he placed the "medicine box" containing the words on his chest. After two or three seconds, he closed his eyes, and a crystal tear slowly slid down from the corner of his eye.

The room was quiet.

The remaining actors who had not auditioned felt the hairs on their backs stand up.

The assistant director and casting director had extremely complicated expressions.

Surprises and struggles take turns.

Lu Ming didn't pay attention to these. He looked at Zhong Yu, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little: "Okay!"

This was the first time Lu Ming had said such direct words of praise since the audition.

When it came to the two of them before, he just told them to go back and wait for notification.

After hearing Lu Ming's word "good", Zhong Yu got up from the ground without brushing off the dust on her body or wiping the tears from her face.

He bowed slightly to the three directors and waited quietly.

He was actually very nervous.

Ever since that person made the statement, no crew in the industry has even invited him to audition.

He suddenly received an audition invitation a few days ago and he couldn't believe it.

After repeatedly confirming that he was really invited, he finally came.

He wasn't sure if the crew would want him, but he didn't want to miss any opportunity.

Now, his performance is over, and he doesn't know what consequences he will face next.

He expected a good result, but was also prepared for a bad result.

"You can ask your agent to negotiate the pay." Lu Ming said to Zhong Yu.

Hearing this, Zhong Yu's eyes were immediately filled with surprise.

At this time, the assistant director beside him reached out and tugged at Lu Ming's sleeve.

Lu Ming tilted his head in confusion.

The assistant director came over immediately and whispered something to Lu Ming.

Seeing this scene, the surprise in Zhong Yu's eyes disappeared little by little.

Lu Ming noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhong Yu's eyes were becoming disappointed.

The voice that reached his ears let him know the reason for Zhong Yu's disappointment.

The agency that Zhong Yu signed with is Manxing Media.

What is the approximate status of this company in the entertainment industry?

Well...half of the entertainment industry.

This company has not only signed contracts with many popular stars in the entertainment industry, but also controls an online streaming platform and hundreds of cinema chains.

Somehow Zhong Yu offended the boss of Manxing, who actually made him personally announce that Manxing would never cooperate with anyone who dared to use Zhong Yu.

Such words as banning naturally have no deterrent effect on Manxing’s mortal enemy.

But Zhong Yu is Manxing Media's own artist, and an unknown artist. There is no need for them to tear their faces with Manxing for Zhong Yu.

As for some directors and producers, they are not sure whether they will have to cooperate with Manxing's artists, and they have no reason to never cooperate with Manxing for the sake of Zhong Yu.

But for Lu Ming, it had almost no impact.

If nothing unexpected happens, his dramas will most likely be broadcast on Xie Youxun's online streaming platform.

As for his future movies, he is not afraid that Manxing will strangle him in the theaters.

If Manxing’s cinemas don’t show his movies, naturally other cinemas will.

As long as the quality of the movie is good, no one should have a problem with the money.

Before the assistant director told him this, he wanted Zhong Yu to play his leading male role.

After the assistant director said this, his rebellious psychology came up.

Damn it, he hates this kind of shit in the entertainment industry the most.

But Lu Ming was not reckless.

I still have to ask Xie Youxun about this.

Xie Youxun treated him as a relative. He gave him money and people when he needed them for filming. He couldn't cheat Xie Youxun.

He really recognized Zhong Yu's acting skills.

But if Xie Youxun's brother doesn't want to compete with Manxing, then his drama will probably have nowhere to be broadcast.

Isn't that just a waste of time?

Changing Zhong Yu's ending does not necessarily require him to film his own drama.

But he insisted on letting Zhong Yu film his movie, and his directorial career might be ruined.

I'd better ask Xie Youxun first.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming turned his head and looked at Zhong Yu.

At this moment, Zhong Yu's face was calm, but his eyes were dead silent.

It seems like he has accepted a certain reality.

The words that Lu Ming was about to say suddenly stopped coming out.

After sighing, he still said, "Let your agent negotiate the pay."

As soon as these words came out, the assistant director next to him immediately turned his head and looked over.

Zhong Yu, whose eyes were already filled with death, looked at Lu Ming a little slowly.

"Me?" He raised his hand and pointed at himself, asking in disbelief.

"Besides you, is there anyone else?" Lu Ming asked back.

Zhong Yu's eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.

"Thank you, thank you director, I will definitely do my best!" Zhong Yu suddenly became incoherent.

Lu Ming looked at Zhong Yu's face which was gradually filled with a smile and eyes full of hope, and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, this hopeful look suits him best.

As for Xie Youxun, Lu Ming thought about it carefully and felt that there should be no problem.

It is impossible that the person Xie Youxun went to invite didn’t know that Zhong Yu had been “banned”.

He also invited Zhong Yu to audition, which showed that there was no problem.

To put it another way, even if there really is a problem, we can always deal with it later.

He really can't bear to see some truly talented actors being oppressed by capital.

After Zhong Yu signs the contract with the crew, ask him how he offended the boss of Manxing.

Perhaps this is the reason why he chose to commit suicide.
