Crimson Studio is a temporarily rented office building. After solving the casting problem, everyone left separately. Luo Yuan and the other three found a restaurant nearby to eat.

"what do you think?"

At the dinner table, Xia Ran looked like he wanted to take credit: "The acting skills of my classmates should all be on the line. Among the students from Jinghua Film and Television Academy, our class is second only to Xiao Ai's class in terms of strength."

Luo Yuan nodded.

The original owner was a directing student in college and didn’t know much about Xia Ran’s acting classmates. Although Ai Xiaoai and Xia Ran were both acting students, they were also placed in different classes. The friendship between the three was

It started in junior high school.

The food is served.

The three of them chatted while eating.

Halfway through the meal, Ai Xiaoai suddenly pointed to the direction of the cabinet and said, "Xia Ran, what a coincidence, that is your classmate, the actor who auditioned for Ren Yifan this morning..."

"It's really this guy."

Xia Ran looked up and muttered: "I just asked this guy to have dinner with me, but he refused to agree. He said he had something to do. It turned out that he had a dinner with other people..."

"It should be called He Mingxuan."

Luo Yuan smiled and said that the role of Ren Yifan is relatively important. He is the best friend of Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai in the play, so he was deeply impressed.

At this moment, He Mingxuan was checking out.

With He Mingxuan was a man wearing a suit and black-rimmed glasses. Judging from his attitude, He Mingxuan was quite respectful to that man.

"He Mingxuan."

Xia Ran directly called the other party's name.

When He Mingxuan heard someone calling him, he immediately turned his head. When he saw Xia Ran and the others, their expressions seemed a little unnatural. After saying a few words to the man with black-rimmed glasses, the man with black-rimmed glasses nodded and left first.

"Director Ren, Xiao Ai, Xia Ran."

He Mingxuan came over and greeted the three of them one by one, very politely: "That was a friend of mine just now. I haven't seen him for a long time. I invited him to have a meal."

Ai Xiaoai said: "Would you like some more?"

He Mingxuan shook his head and said: "No, I'm full. You guys eat first. I'll send my friend back first."

Xia Ran nodded.

After He Mingxuan left, Ai Xiaoai said suspiciously: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always think this guy is a little weird. Xia Ran, are he familiar with you?"

"I know everyone well."

Xia Ran was complacent there.

Luo Yuan also admitted this. Xia Ran was a well-rounded person and was very good at using his own advantages to mingle with others. Otherwise, he would not be able to gather more than a dozen actors with professional backgrounds at once.

This personality is quite suitable for the entertainment industry.

Xia Ran asked Ai Xiaoai: "What do you think of Zeng Yi's play?"

Ai Xiaoai flipped up her bangs: "I contacted their crew yesterday. There should be a schedule conflict, so I am no longer the third female lead."

"I knew it."

Xia Ran holds his forehead, but he is angry and does not fight.

The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce that it can be described as a blow to the head. Ai Xiaoai, who clearly has a great opportunity but is willing to give it up for her friends, is simply a weirdo from the Cretaceous Century.

"Pity."

Xia Ran sighed.

Luo Yuan said: "Xia Ran, shake your little head."

Xia Ran complied with the instructions inexplicably, and when he was about to ask Luo Yuan why he asked him to shake his head, Luo Yuan said: "Did you hear the sound of water in your brain?"

"puff……"

Ai Xiaoai, who always had a low point of laughter, couldn't help it.

It took Xia Ran a few seconds to react. He blew his nose and glared: "You two have just lost your mind. Am I wrong? Ai Xiaoai has given up on many roles..."

"A lot of people are grabbing it."

Luo Yuan finished the recent platitudes for Xia Ran, and slowly took a bite of the dessert: "But follow me, and I can make you two win a statuette within three years."

"Fooling."

Xia Ran pouted: "I won't believe a single punctuation mark of what you, Luo Yuan, said. Before filming "Love Waltz", you said that I would soon become famous all over the country and become a national idol."

Luo Yuan: "..."

He really couldn't remember this kind of trivial memory. I dare say the original owner was better than him.

——————

The time soon came to three days later.

The actors who passed the audition a few days ago came to Crimson Studio one after another to sign contracts. By the afternoon, the matter was almost settled. According to the provisions of the contract, "Welcome to School Together" will officially start filming tomorrow.

"There's still someone who hasn't come yet."

Ai Xiaoai, who was in charge of signing the contract, shouted.

Xia Ran heard Ai Xiaoai's voice and came over to ask, "Who else hasn't come? Have you forgotten that today is the day to sign the contract?"

"He Mingxuan."

Ai Xiaoai looked at the list.

At this time, an actor looked strange and said: "Xia Ran, He Mingxuan just sent me a message saying that he will not play the role of Ren Yifan..."

"What?"

Xia Ran suspected that he heard wrongly: "Are you mistaken? Didn't we agree before? Why did we say that we won't act if we don't act?"

"I know."

Wu Xuan, who plays 'Lin Luoxue' in the play, said: "Looking at the WeChat post posted by He Mingxuan yesterday, it was a photo with the casting director. He said he was the third male lead who signed a contract for a new play directed by Wu Jinsong."

"Wu Jinsong?"

If people outside the industry hear the name Wu Jinsong, they will definitely feel unfamiliar. After all, the audience's attention to a drama will focus more on the actors.

But the actors are different.

The focus of actors' attention is on the directors in the circle. Wu Jinsong is a relatively famous online drama director. His last work "Pure Love" was very popular. Many young actors who have just debuted want to work with such a high-profile director.

Object……

"No wonder."

"It turns out I'm climbing a high branch."

A group of actors talked softly with different expressions.

Xia Ran glanced at the circle of friends that Wu Xuan showed everyone, and suddenly sneered: "Isn't this casting director the same person who had dinner with him before?"

"Let me see."

Ai Xiaoai also took a look at the Moments posted by He Mingxuan on Wu Xuan's phone. After reading it, her face darkened. The person who appeared in the photo with He Mingxuan was indeed, as Xia Ran said, the person he bumped into in a hotel three days ago.

As far as the man in a suit having dinner with He Mingxuan - the truth is already clear.

"He is using our crew as a backup."

Xia Ran sneered and said: "While we hold the role of Ren Yifan in our crew, we secretly fight for roles from other crews. Once the roles are settled, we will kick our spare crew away."

Someone asked innocently: "What if there is no agreement over there..."

Ai Xiaoai closed the list: "If there is no agreement there, He Mingxuan will pretend that nothing has happened and settle for the next best thing and choose us as a backup crew."

Everyone gradually reacted.

It turns out that He Mingxuan had already planned it?

They thought that someone was looking for Ren Yifan to take part in Wu Jinsong's new drama, so this guy suddenly changed his mind. Unexpectedly, He Mingxuan still used a double insurance trick!

"Eat the food in the bowl and look at the food in the pot."

Zhang Xingchen shook his head disdainfully: "This guy has a big problem with his credibility, and he is destined to have little future prospects."

Everyone nodded.

They are all students who have just left school and have just entered the entertainment industry. These people are basically relatively simple and not so utilitarian. They are inevitably filled with indignation at He Mingxuan's behavior.

"What's next?"

Wu Xuan blinked: "We will start filming tomorrow, should we find new actors temporarily?"

"yes……"

"What to do next?"

"Do we have to wait for a while before filming?"

Although other people's scenes could be filmed first, many of the crew's original arrangements were bound to be disrupted, and the crew was prone to making mistakes when it was messed up. Only then did everyone realize that He Mingxuan's sudden death had directly affected the crew's start-up progress.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"I'll call him."

Xia Ran was stunned and immediately took out his cell phone. However, what made Xia Ran jumpy was that He Mingxuan seemed to have expected that Xia Ran would settle the score with him and had already turned off the phone in advance.

"Depend on!"

Xia Ran cursed.

Luo Yuan had already received the news at this time. He came over with a very calm expression, as if He Mingxuan's matter could not affect him at all.

"The shooting starts tomorrow."

"But He Mingxuan..."

"Don't worry, I can handle it."
