Interview (1)

  "Why are you suddenly so anxious?" Ye Sumang asked, not waiting for Liu Yifei to speak.

  Just now in the hall, he found Liu Yifei's abnormality. The girl was sitting quietly on one side without making a sound, but Ye Sumang occasionally discovered her anxiety. Her fingers were constantly stirring, her lips were tightly closed, and her eyes were also very dull, obviously hiding her worries.

  "I'm just...I'm just afraid I won't do well." Liu Yifei said in a low voice, her eyes slightly cast down.

  Although she was eager to act, when a real opportunity presented itself, she hesitated, fearing that she couldn't do it perfectly.

  But in Ye Sumang's eyes, the girl's anxiety was completely unnecessary worry.

  "Don't think too much about this kind of thing, no one will ask a newcomer to be perfect." Yeshu Mang comforted with a smile.

  "Oh, I see... well... goodbye... and, I had a lot of fun today, Yezi, thank you!"

  "Alright! The script will be delivered tomorrow, you should take a look too."

  "Got it, bye!"

  "Good night."

  After waving goodbye to the girl, Ye Sumang hurried back to the company and found that the lights were still on at this moment. Walking in, it turned out that Huang Bo was concentrating on the answers.

  The just-ended college entrance examination, Ye Sumang and Huang Bo both participated. Ye Sumang was not afraid of this exam, his grades were even more than enough to get into a top-tier university, passing the admission score line for an art school was almost a sure thing.

  But for Huang Bo, who had long returned his knowledge to the teacher, this exam was even more difficult than crossing the Himalayas. Even with Ye Su Mang's occasional guidance, and even though he only needed a small number of points to pass the vocational class, he still felt uncertain in his heart. Especially in these few days after finishing the exam, he had to repeatedly check the answers to estimate his score.

  "Neck, you're still looking, even if you look again, it's impossible to get extra points out of thin air." Ye Sumang took two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Huang Bo, taking a glance at his answers on the way, and said with a smile.

  "Alas, Yezi, I'm really at a loss! Forget it, I won't look anymore, whatever. " Huang Bo pushed away the answer in his hand, picked up the mineral water and took a big gulp.

  "Ah!" Huang Bo, who was drinking water, slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "Ye Zi, I forgot to tell you, we received a call from Cai's place, they've already started preparing for the hype of 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy', asking about the selection of the female lead, let's find a time to interview her."

  "This is just a short time and you're already rushing me. This woman is really troublesome." Ye Sumang rubbed his hair, saying in an ill-tempered tone.

  "Otherwise, how can she become a female strongman and a female boss? If she has such a dependent personality, wouldn't she have been eaten alive by society long ago?" Huang Bo teased, while also secretly worrying about Ye Su Mang, after all, cooperating with such a strong woman, his little brother's future life in the crew would likely be quite difficult.

  The next morning, Ye Su Meng handed the script to Liu Mama's hands. In the afternoon of that day, Ye Su Meng received a call from Liu Mama, who finally agreed to let Liu Yi Fei audition for the female lead in The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

  Due to the small office space of Tianxia Film and Television Company, the audition was finally held in Tang Ren's Beijing office building.

  This audition also gave Ye Sumeng a good understanding of Tang Ren's connections in the film circle.

  It's no wonder that after developing for several years, the old company has become a hot spot for investment in new plays. As soon as it was heard that Tang Ren wanted to invest in a new play, many brokerage firms brought their own artists to audition, even if it was just an unimportant role. As long as they could have lines and show their face, it was enough to make them pay a great price.

  When Ye Sumang walked into the corridor, he was still subjected to not a few hostile glances from male artists, apparently taking him as a competitor for this interview.

  "Hey, which company's new recruit is he? How did he just walk in like that? He won't be scolded out of there after a while." A male artist looked at Ye Sumang walking into the interview room with schadenfreude and said to his companion beside him.

  "Hmph, no vision, that's the director of this TV series!" The male artist had just finished speaking when a burst of cold laughter erupted. A passing staff member stopped in his tracks beside them, also looking at him with a mocking gaze.

  "Director!?" The male artist was stunned for a moment, and many of the surrounding auditioning artists also looked at this staff member in surprise.

  "You'll know once you go in anyway." The staff member coldly threw out a sentence and turned to leave, leaving the people in the corridor with endless speculation.

  Ye Su Meng walked into the interview room, unaware of the discussions about him outside. This time, he had only two purposes: one was to see if the actors were satisfactory, and the other was to hand over Liu Yi Fei's ancient costume photos to Cai Yi Nong and Yao Zhuang Xian.

  As a costume drama, the actor's ancient dress and appearance must be of high standard.

  Some actors are handsome and beautiful when acting in modern dramas, but once they wear ancient costumes, they look awkward. This requires taking some photos of themselves wearing ancient costumes before the audition, so that the director and producer can see if they fit their ideal image.

  And these ancient costume photos of Liu Yifei were taken by Ye Su Mang himself.

  For this, Ye Su Mang specially borrowed a top-notch camera and chose a location that was full of ancient charm - a garden.

  The way of taking pictures, Ye Su Mang was also very careful not to directly choose the kind of posing in a few specific postures, but instead tried to let Liu Yi Fei naturally make a series of movements, and then capture the most brilliant flashes in the dynamic, making the girl in the photo appear more radiant, lively and full of soul.

  Ye Su Mang spent the entire afternoon taking over a thousand photos of Liu Yi Fei, and only selected the most satisfactory ten to bring over. Now it seems they're really good.

  After receiving the photo, both Yao Zhuangxian and Cai Yinnong couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. The ancient costume in the photo was simply too beautiful. Moreover, with just one eyebrow raised and one smile, it could give people a strong sense of infection, as if looking at the girl's expression in the photo would change one's mood along with it.

  "Su Mang, does this girl have an agency?" Cai Yi Nong asked tentatively while sighing.

  "Don't dream on, Cai Jie. Her financial affairs have long been taken care of by someone else." Ye Su Mang twirled her pencil, looking at the actor's information in her hand, but her eyes kept glancing at the other two people, especially after seeing Cai Yi Nong change his mind earlier, she felt even more pleased with herself. At the same time, she ruthlessly crushed Cai Yi Nong's idea without hesitation.

  "What a pity! Good seedling, really good seedling." Cai Yinan sighed regretfully, her eyes fixed on the photo in her hand, reluctant to part with it.

  "This girl is really good, as long as her acting skills are passable, let's confirm her as the female lead." Yao Zhuangxian on the side also looked at the photo with appreciation, and the more he looked, the more he liked it.

  "Who took this photo?" Suddenly, Cai Yinan looked at the few photos in her hand with some confusion. Having worked in a film and television company for many years, she naturally had some involvement in photography as well.

  At first, she was shocked by the girl in the photo. After the shock passed, she noticed the difference in the photo. The application of light and shadow is simply like a masterpiece from those world-renowned photography masters. At least none of their company's so-called top photographers have such skills to take photos with such vitality.

  Compared to recruiting Liu Yifei, she now wants to pull this photographer into her own company, but Ye Sumang's casual gesture shattered her hopes.

  "How can it be you again?!" Cai Yinan's face was filled with incredulity.

  "Why can't it be me? As a director, it's not strange that I also take photos." Ye Sumang responded with a smile.

  "Wow, he can direct, write screenplays and take photos. He really lives up to what Yao said, 'Heroes emerge in their youth.'” Cai Yinan looked at Ye Sumang with a mix of admiration and regret.

  Because she knew this talent was impossible to recruit under her flag.

  "Haha, Xiaoye is really good and very talented." Yao Zhuangxian didn't understand photography, but he could also tell if a photo was beautiful or not. When it came to Ye Sumang, he never hesitated to give his praise.

  At this time, a staff member walked in and reminded Ye Sumang and others that the time was almost up. The three of them only then realized they had been chatting for so long, and all calmed down their emotions to prepare for the interview.
