Chapter 742: Becoming Competitors

Murong Qiao had accompanied Ning Xiunian and Chi Hanjing to the award ceremony, so she was very familiar with it.
Seeing that the award ceremony was coming to an end, Murong Qiao yawned slightly and walked out with Chi Hanjing and Ning Xiunian, preparing to leave. At this moment, many people were walking out like them. Murong Qiao, who was mixed in the crowd, sent Huo Yichen a message that she was preparing to go back. In the end, almost bumped into someone when she looked up.
“I’m sorry, Boss. I was just about to remind you.” The person in front of her was Ning Xiunian’s manager.
When the other party signed the contract with CG, he jumped over with him. They had also met when they signed the contract previously, so Murong Qiao had some impression of h.im
“There’s good news,” the manager said.
He originally wanted to habitually leave Ning Xiunian hanging first, but now that Murong Qiao and Chi Hanjing were also beside him, he said it directly. Under Ning Xiunian’s gaze, the manager said, “Didn’t I say that Director Zhang has a scene to film? I just received news that he invited you to the audition this time.”
That was…
Not long ago, the three of them had discussed this topic. Murong Qiao and Nmg Xiunian looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. “I’ve postponed the other arrangements for you. Focus on preparing for the audition in the next few days.” The manager looked even happier than the person who received the news.
That was Director Zhang.
Even if Nmg Xiunian received the other party’s invitation in his current position, it could be considered a top-notch resource.
When Murong Qiao heard this news, she was also happy for Ning Xiunian. After all, the other party had just won an award and was now receiving this opportunity. It could be said to be a double blessing.
Because of her schedule, Chi Hanjing parted ways with the two of them.
“You just won the Best Male Lead award. As far as I know, other than you, there are four other people who’re going to the audition.”
The manager explained the information he had investigated one by one. “I’ve checked their information. Only—”
“Only Yang Ming is more troublesome?” Ning Xiunian helped him finish his sentence.
The manager was stunned for a moment. “Looks like you know.”
“I just saw his smug look. It’s difficult not to know,” Ning Xiunian replied lazily. Then, he glanced at the person in the crowd who was a few steps away from them on their right.
Yang Ming seemed to be dealing with the media. They could vaguely hear them asking questions about the audition.
“Come, let’s talk in the car.” The manager frowned when he saw the other party and pointed at the car not far away.
Although they were far enough from the reporters, in order to prevent certain words from being deliberately distorted by the reporters and being posted online to attract attention, it was safer to talk in the car.
“Then I’m going home too.” Murong Qiao had her own car and was not returning with them. “When are you auditioning? Send me the time. I’ll go with you.”
This was the first artiste in the company to receive an audition to film a Hollywood movie. Murong Qiao also showed 100% attention and attitude.
If he really succeeded, their company would rise to a new height.
Ning Xiunian nodded and didn’t say anything else. He followed the manager into the car before continuing the topic.
“When is the audition? There’s also the script. I’ll take a look at it tonight.” Although Nmg Xiunian felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of coming into contact with Yang Ming, he still took his work seriously.
The more familiar he was with this script, the higher the possibility of getting the role. Even though Ning Xiunian had been praised higher and higher all these years, he had never forgotten his heart for acting.
The manager patted his shoulder. “When you just participated in the award ceremony, I’ve already confirmed with the other party that the audition will be the day after tomorrow.”
‘TH get someone to prepare the script. It’ll probably be sent over when you get home later. Take a good look.”
While the two of them were discussing the audition, the news on the Internet also began to spread. Director Zhang’s new movie had already been confirmed to start filming and he was preparing for the audition for a supporting role. [I heard that Yang Ming is going this time too. Then isn’t the outcome stable? What’s there to audition?]
You can’t say that. I heard through the grapevine that they contacted a few people this time.”
“What was the use of recruiting so many people? A certain someone’s backing is awesome. The audition is just a surface process.”
“I hope that some people won’t bark like dogs there. Being able to take down this role is also a symbol of strength being recognized. Why would you say that he has a backer?
“Someone’s anxious. I won’t say who it is.”
“On the surface, it’s an audition, but in fact, isn’t it just dragging a few people along to accompany him? Wouldn’t they just directly choose the person they had decided on from the beginning?”
Although many of the comments didn’t specify who the person was, anyone with half a brain and some fans could tell that they were talking about Yang Ming.
Not to mention anything else, he had previously participated in a movie by Director Zhang. Although he had only acted as a supporting role in it and had only shown his face once, this relationship still made many people guess and conclude.
Amidst the discussion, Director Zhang quickly released the relevant announcement.
However, the announcement only explained the movie that was about to be filmed. It didn’t mention what everyone was discussing or the few actors who had caused a heated discussion.
However, the confirmation of the movie was enough for the group of people on the Internet to argue in full swing. There were even people who directly named each other and began to fight with each other.
Keyboard warriors could appear at any time and anywhere and get involved in any invisible war.
Looking at the fans who were defending their idols on the Internet, Gu Yan, who was staying at home, took a sip of the fruit tea in her hand.
“Yang Ming that fellow… Tsk.” She recalled that person’s annoying face and couldn’t help but frown and make a dissatisfied sound.
When she entered this circle previously, she had formed a grudge with the other party, so she found this person annoying now.
Therefore, after thinking about Yang Ming, she sincerely prayed that the other party wouldn’t be chosen. Otherwise, when they met again one day, the other party would definitely show off in front of her.
More than one person saw the news on the Internet. Yang Ming, who had just returned from the event location after participating in the award ceremony, also paid attention to some of the comments on it under the reminder of his manager.
“These people are so shallow.” Yang Ming couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw the comments that said that he was bad and that he was relying on connections.
This action was really different from his usual elegant and gentle image.
Only he could do this in private without caring about his image. If his fans saw this, he would probably lose his fans.
The manager, on the other hand, stared at the tablet as usual, paying attention to the direction of the discussions on the Internet.
The manager’s tone was indifferent. “When the time comes, go for the audition and perform normally. These people on the Internet won’t be able to cause trouble. I’ll watch over them.”
If there was really someone causing trouble, they could just hire a water army to resolve it. Now, these bad reviews could be used.
When the matter was over and Yang Ming was chosen, they could use the bad comments to increase the number of fans.
“Alright, alright, alright. I understand.” Yang Ming nodded casually.
The script was on the coffee table in front of him, but Yang Ming didn’t reach out to take it. Instead, he held his cell phone and chatted about something..
