Chapter 141: Stereotype

The name of An Xin and Feng Bin’s script was simple and easy to understand. It was called “Cycle.”
The audition for the actors of “Cycle” was scheduled for half a month. Yuan Shao only went for the audition after his filming was completed.
Actually, there were only a few people who had a lot of scenes. Other than the male and female leads, the old criminal police officer, and a middle-aged couple, the others did not have many scenes. Yuan Shao was auditioning for an anime-liking otaku. He was considered one of the people who had more scenes. In addition, his age and appearance were compatible, so the chances of him being chosen were very high.
There were five people sitting in a row in the waiting room. Yuan Shao’s performance was relatively stable and he even performed the small bit he had prepared.
An Xin looked at the 18-year-old boy in front of him and was generally very satisfied. His acting skills were not bad, mainly because his appearance had the youth he wanted. He had to get the character’s image right first before looking at his acting skills. “Go back and wait for the notice. I’ll give you an answer in a week at the latest.”
Yuan Shao smiled and bowed. “Thank you, Director An.”
His small bit just now had used some props, so Yuan Shao still had to spend a few minutes packing.
The staff had to wait for the venue to be completely empty before they could call for the next person. The ones doing the casting could take it as a few minutes of relaxation.
Feng Bin looked at An Xin and asked, “There are quite a lot of people auditioning. Can we finish the auditions in half a month?”
An Xin felt that time was a little tight, but he also wanted to start filming as soon as possible. “If we really have to, we can only add another five days at most. Jiang Huai said that quality is the priority.”
Feng Bin thought of Jiang Huai’s request and nodded in agreement. Then, he smiled and said, “I feel that An’an wants to join the production team. She asks me every two days if we have chosen the time to start filming.”
An Xin chuckled. “Speaking of An’an, I thought she was a university student. She seems very young and doesn’t look like a mother at all. The only thing I’m worried about is how her acting is. Actually, her aura is very compatible with the female lead image we portrayed back then.”
Feng Bin recalled the impression he had of Tan Ming that day. “She does look like a sunny little girl next door.”
Yuan Shao didn’t expect to hear this big news in just a few minutes!
He quickly packed his things and left the audition venue.
When he returned to the company, Yuan Shao looked down at his phone, hesitating if he should tell Tan Si.
Yuan Shao bumped into Tan Si’s assistant, Dong Ling. “Sister Dong Ling, why are you here? Sister Si is back from the production team?”
Dong Ling was carrying a pile of things. When she heard someone calling her, she looked over. “She is not back yet. I came back to help her bring some things over.”
Yuan Shao nodded. “Oh.”
Dong Ling could tell that Yuan Shao had something to say to Tan Si, so she asked, “Do you have something to say to Sister Si? Do you want me to help you pass the message?”
Yuan Shao suddenly didn’t want to say it. Tan Si was indeed the most popular artist under Zhou Yun previously, but the situation was different now.
Moreover, Jiang Huai was behind An’an. Why should he take the risk of offending Jiang Huai?
Yuan Shao shook his head. “It’s nothing. I was just asking.”
Dong Ling looked at Yuan Shao’s hesitant expression and felt that something was wrong. “Yuan Shao, this box is too heavy. Can you help me move it to the car?”
Yuan Shao took it. “No problem. Is the car parked in the underground parking lot?”
Dong Ling smiled and replied, “Yes, sorry to trouble you.”
As the two of them walked towards the elevator, Yuan Shao replied, “It’s no trouble. You helped me a lot before.”
Dong Ling smiled. For the rest of the journey, she would talk to Yuan Shao from time to time. After all, he was an 18-year-old youth. No matter how scheming he was, he was still inferior to someone who had a few years more work experience.
In the end, Dong Ling found out that Jiang Huai had invested in a drama, and An’an was the female lead in it.
When Yuan Shao placed the things in the trunk, he kept reminding her, “Sister Dong Ling, I know Sister Si and An’an don’t get along, but Jiang Huai’s power in the industry isn’t to be trifled with. Don’t leak it. I don’t want to cause trouble.”
Dong Ling smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. Besides, this isn’t any confidential information. After some time, everyone will find out. Sometimes, you’re too cautious..”
