After nearly a year of preparation and publicity and promotion starting in early 2011.
The actor selection activity for "Da Qin" in China has entered the second half.
The first two rounds of selection have been completed, and more than 50 people from across the country have been shortlisted for the final battle.
To be honest, this number of people is indeed small, after all, Nanaya needs to recruit actors for more than ten roles.
Although it is the final audition, the ratio of choosing one out of five is really too high.
However, there are no big stars among these actors. Basically, they are either extras or students from film and television academies.
If any of these people are suitable for the role in "Da Qin", Nanaya will accept them directly.
If there are still roles without actors after this group of people have gone through their rotation, Nanaya will look for well-known actors based on the character's image.
Many people, including Washimine, did not understand what Nanaya did.
In fact, Nanaya was planning to create a star.
Washimine certainly cannot build such a large theme park like Disney to please the Chinese top leaders.
So we can only start from other places.
Cultivating stars, investing in movies, and providing special effects technology are things that Nanaya plans to gradually implement.
In addition to leaving a good impression on China, Washimine is also showing its intention to develop the Chinese market in the long term.
In this way, Washimine will be able to gain more support from the Chinese government.
It is always more reassuring to open a shop than to sell it on the streets.
Therefore, regardless of whether or not the more than 50 candidates selected from this audition will become actors of "Da Qin", Washimine will train them.
This is also the reason why Nanaya does not plan to choose from already famous stars. It would be okay for those people to just make a movie, but they will definitely not follow Washimine.
Among these more than 50 people, Nanaya saw several familiar faces.
For example, the girl named Xiao Jie Mo who tried to seduce Nanaya; and her good friend Qin Jue; and Cameron's little fan Gao Chang Gong.
These people are currently rushing to Shanghai from all over the country to participate in the final round of auditions.
Dragging their suitcases, Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue walked out of the exit amidst the crowd, mechanically following the crowd.
Although both of them are from the north, this is not their first time in Shanghai.
During the second round of auditions, they came to Shanghai once.
But even so, the two still felt at a loss when they got off the plane.
The unfamiliarity brought by different cities made them retreat a little.
Listening to the various southern dialects coming from his ears, Qin Jue, who had already walked to the exit of the airport terminal, felt panic and anxiety in his heart.
Suddenly, she had the urge to turn around, buy a return ticket, and go back to school.
If it weren't for her best friend holding her hand all the time, Qin Jue might have really done something like this.
Despite choosing film and television as her major, she was never a very confident girl.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so ecstatic just because Nanaya said a few words to her.
But in order to protect her best friend, Qin Jue could only follow Xiao Jie Mo and move forward mechanically.
Compared to Qin Jue, whose uneasiness was written all over his face, Xiao Jie Mo seemed much more confident.
But this is just her appearance. Deep down, she is not much better than Qin Jue.
Although he and Qin Jue stood out from the previous selection and successfully entered the final round of the auditions.
When the results of the second round of auditions came out, Xiao Jie Mo felt more confident than ever before.
I even had the idea that I could get a role in the FGO movie without doing anything.
But this delusion is still a delusion after all.
After she calmed down, she immediately realized one thing: just passing the second round of auditions was not safe at all.
If she wants to be 100% sure of getting the role, she must give something.
After all, it was me who proposed to use my body as a bargaining chip.
If I fail to fulfill my promise, I believe that the director will be angry and take revenge on me.
Not to mention men, what everyone hates most is deception.
When a person feels that he has been deceived, his revenge on the person who deceived him will definitely be more terrible than that on an ordinary enemy.
Although Little Wasabi left no evidence that night.
Similarly, the other party should not have any leverage over me.
But given Kiryu Nanaya's status, he doesn't need this kind of evidence if he wants to take revenge on himself.
With just one sentence, he can make it difficult for others to make a move in the entertainment industry.
[I heard that man will be participating in this audition. I wonder if he will ask me for anything? ]
Little Wasabi sighed softly, she realized that she had been tricked by herself.
If she had known that she could get this far with her own strength, she would not have put forward any conditions to Kiryu Nanaya.
In fact, it would be fine if it was just me, but what should my best friend do?
Even though Qin Jue had said that he would stand by her side through thick and thin, she didn't want to push her into the fire pit.
I didn't consider her when I made this choice.
[As long as I behave myself, the great director will probably let Yu Yu go, right? ]
Little Wasabi was caught in a dilemma.
Two girls, full of worries, followed the crowd out of the terminal.
With just one glance, Xiao Jie Mo saw a sign with her and Qin Jue's names printed on it among the crowd of people waiting to pick up guests at the airport.
She quickly pulled Qin Jue through the crowd and came to the sign.
The other person was a young man in a neat suit. He was dressed so formally in the summer in the south that Xiao Jie Mo felt a little sorry for him.
"Hello..." Little Wasabi pointed at the sign and said, "We are Jie Yu and Qin Jue."
The other party nodded, and then said in not very fluent Chinese: "Hello."
Then he took out his mobile phone, looked at the photos saved in it and compared them.
After confirming that everything was OK, he bowed slightly and said, "I am an employee of the Chinese branch of Washimine Entertainment. My name is Yamada. Please follow me. I will take you to the hotel."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Xiao Jie Mo, who originally thought that the other party was a little neurotic, immediately became more cheerful when she heard that the other party was Japanese.
"Just us?"
Qin Jue asked curiously.
Yamada immediately responded, "Only the two of you ladies have arrived today, and a few more candidates will arrive tomorrow. Then it will be your audition day."
"Um...can we meet Director Kiryu?" Qin Jue asked excitedly.
The calm expression on Yamada's face changed. He didn't expect Qin Jue to ask this.
However, he still replied: "I don't know Director Kiryu's schedule, but he will audition, that's for sure."
"All right."
Qin Jue looked a little lost. She lowered her head and muttered a few words under her breath.
Little Wasabi felt a little strange, so she asked secretly when they got in the car.
"Do you want to ask for two more signatures?"
"No." Qin Jue shook his head, "Didn't he make a promise to you before? Don't you want to know the result?"
"Hmm…"
Little Wasabi's face turned red all of a sudden, like a hot teapot of boiling water.
"It doesn't matter." Little Wasabi said with forced calmness.
"Really? Aren't you worried at all?"
Qin Jue looked at Xiao Jie Mo, who was absent-minded and had wandering eyes, and asked with a bit of amusement.
"What is there to worry about?" Xiao Jie Mo said with a look of course, "I know what you are worried about, but that director must know his limits."
"Is that so~~~"
Qin Jue dragged out the last word and deliberately asked, "Do you think he will let you go?"
"What do you mean by letting him go?" Little Wasabi said angrily, "I made the choice myself in the beginning. As long as he is willing to make a promise, what does it matter if I give myself to him?!"
"That's not what I meant..."
Qin Jue pinched her temples. She felt that her best friend was a little too extreme.
[I hope everything will be alright. ]
Qin Jue thought so as he watched the street scenes flashing past outside the car window.
————————————————————————
Two days later, a special audition was held in the Chinese Washimine Building.
The person who led this audition was none other than the currently very popular director Nanaya Kiryu in China.
But our director Nanaya Kiryu was looking at the person sitting next to her in astonishment.
There was an indescribable look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Why...are you here?"
"I came to see if there was anything wrong with my future work colleagues?"
Lily, who was dressed in casual clothes, replied with a smile on her face.
"Besides, I am quite interested in Chinese actors and I am very curious about their acting skills. I will take this opportunity to visit and learn from them."
Of course, if Lily hadn't been looking through the list of female candidates with a murderous look in her eyes as she said this, it would have been very convincing.
"I'm telling you... you're being too suspicious, aren't you?"
There was a strong sense of helplessness in Nanaya's tone.
"Please don't misunderstand me." Lily raised her head and smiled brightly, "I'm just trying to prevent Nanaya from not tying his belt tightly and doing something to let my sister down."
"How is it possible..."
There was a flash of panic in Nanaya's eyes.
But in less than a second, Nanaya immediately turned back into his usual gentle and refined director.
[This girl...]
The corners of Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly.
Although Nanaya didn't expect anything in particular, when Lily mocked him, he couldn't help but think of the woman who took the initiative to take advantage of him.
However, Nanaya knew that it was completely impossible for him to take action.
Shion had long been eyeing the woman named Xiao Jie Mo and her best friend Qin Jue.
From the moment they passed the second round of auditions, they became Washimine Entertainment's main stars in China.
In this situation, Nanaya's attack on them would basically be like asking Shion to spank him.
Nanaya thought about it and felt that he was quite a failure. It was obvious that he had already won almost all the trophies that a director could get.
But up to now, Nanaya has never taken advantage of any actress.
"How come it's gone?"
Hearing Nanaya's sigh, Lily said with contempt.
"What did you say?"
"My sister was able to become the protagonist of the movie 'Camelot'. Wasn't it because you took advantage of her?"
"…"
Nanaya suddenly found that what Lily said made a lot of sense and he couldn't refute it.
