"It's really not bad," Fu Xiuyuan said seriously. "Otherwise, do you think I could eat it all?"
"Then I'll make it again next time?"
Fu Xiuyuan held her fingers. "Mm."

There was an audition the next day.
Shi Jin arrived at the audition venue early.
After the plagiarism misunderstanding, more artistes came to audition this time.
Many of them had seen the conceptual promotional video and heard the soundtrack, so they were confident in the crew's aesthetic.
People in the industry were different from outsiders. Most outsiders just watched the show.
People in the industry valued the director's ability to express more.
The artistes who auditioned this time were also slightly more famous than the previous time. It was probably because Shi Jin knew Ji Hanxue, Director Ji, that they had changed their impression of the overall ability of the production team.
After Shi Jin went through some of the scenes, Yao Jiahong had something to discuss with her. She walked out to talk to Yao Jiahong.
A moment later, Little Song rushed over and said, "Shi Jin, there are two artistes. You must want to meet them."
"Who?"
"The ones you mentioned last time, Jian Liang and Xiao Ming. Weren't you sorry they didn't come for the audition last time? Here they are."
"I'll be right there," Shi Jin said.
Yao Jiahong asked, "Which companies are these two from? You seem to care about them?"
"I don't know them either. I was just asking," Shi Jin said, remembering that in her previous life, the two of them had been the main characters in Phoenix Tree. This movie had become extremely popular, and so did they.
She'd thought a lot had changed in this life. She couldn't force it.
She did not expect that Xiao Ming and Jian Liang would still come for the audition even though the original main leads left.
It was as if many things were destined.
Shi Jin hurried back to the audition venue.
Liang Han said in a low voice, "It's Jian Liang and Xiao Ming's turn."
"Okay."
Shi Jin sat down. Xiao Ming was the first to arrive. He was thin, and his bone structure was very clear on his calm face. He had an excellent and photogenic face, but he had always acted in ordinary television dramas and movies before. He was hardly famous.
"Let's draw a segment," Liang Han said.
Xiao Ming quickly drew a segment and went on stage when he was ready.
An intense emotion quickly appeared on his calm face, but this emotion was extremely restrained.
Liang Han nodded gently and wrote something by his name.
Jian Liang, on the other hand, was a thin, ordinary-looking girl. Like Xiao Ming, she looked ordinary, but her expression when she got into character was not ordinary at all. Her emotions were in place.
She did not have any representative works before, so she was unknown.
Liang Han asked Shi Jin, "What do you think?"
"I think they're great. If there's nobody better, we can settle on them both."
"You've seen them act before?"
"A bit, and I was impressed," Shi Jin said with a smile. "But even the best actor needs a good cast and a good director to support each other."
Liang Han laughed. "I agree with your words completely."
Jiang Liang couldn't contain her delight. She'd auditioned for the second female lead knowing that the first female lead in this movie was given to Shi Jin.
It was just that she had expected that she might not be able to get the role. Even if she passed the audition, she might not be able to play the second female lead. She might even be pushed to play random no-name roles.
This current result was the best.
Xiao Ming recovered from his great joy and said to her, "Congratulations."
"Same to you."
When the car drove back to the set, the agent had already finished communicating with the company.
Xiao Ming and Jian Liang, together with their agent, were invited to Liang Han's office by the production team's assistant.
"Director Liang! Director Song!" The agent came forward to shake their hands.
Little Song said succinctly, "Congratulations to Xiao Ming and Jian Liang for passing our audition. This is the contract. You can see if there are any problems. If not, we can sign it."
The manager was shocked by their efficiency again. The director actually had so much power without communicating with the producer and the investor
behind him!
No doubt such rights were really a guarantee of efficiency.
After the manager read it himself, he sent the contract back to the company's legal department.
With his previous communication with the company, the legal department was ready. They read it quickly and gave it back.
After both parties had amended some minor details, the contract was finally settled.
Jian Liang and Xiao Ming signed the contract. They had not calmed down yet.
Thinking about the people who auditioned with them, they were all of higher status than them. The two of them were not particularly outstanding in all aspects...
