So after Ark Culture announced the casting for its new drama, there was an overwhelming number of actors who submitted their resumes to Ark Culture.

In order to stand out from the crowd, many actors attach performance videos to their resumes.

After screening the resumes, the Ark Culture crew sent out audition invitations and notified them of the audition time and location.

…

July 25th.

Donghai Film and Television Base.

Ark Culture rented an activity room next to the film and television base to use as an audition venue.

It's nine o'clock this morning.

Many actors came after hearing the news and gathered outside the audition venue.

At the door of the audition venue, a sign with the Ark Culture logo was placed there, with a few large characters printed on it: "The Casting Site of "Nirvana in Fire"".

None of these actors were invited to audition, but after receiving audition news from Ark Culture, they took the initiative to gather here to try their luck.

The acting industry is very complicated.

Not to mention the lowest-level supporting actors, even slightly better special actors sometimes audition for hundreds of crews a year and still don't get a single role.

Therefore, for these actors, gathering outside the audition venue is actually trying their luck.

Ark Culture staff maintained order at the door, and actors without audition invitations were not allowed in.

After all, the venue is so big, and there are hundreds of people crowded outside the door, so it's impossible to fit them all in.

The casting director took a loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to audition.

"Actors who have been invited to audition should report to me, and actors who have not been invited to audition can give me their resumes.

"After the previous auditions are over, if there is still time, the director will select a few more actors to audition.

"However, there are too many people today, and I'm going to be the first to say that I can't guarantee that everyone will have a chance to audition.

"Sorry, everyone, if you brought your resume, you can submit your resume here now."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people crowded forward and handed over their resumes printed on A4 paper.

…

Since the audition venue is right next to the Donghai Film and Television Base, many of the actors who come here to try their luck are extras.

Every extra actor has a dream of playing the leading role.

Of course, there are very few people who can succeed. After all, not every group actor can become Wang Baoqiang.

The casting director collected more than two hundred resumes, put them in front of Fang Xing, and said, "The resumes were collected at the door."

Most of these resumes are printed on A4 paper, and some of the more special ones are handwritten on letter paper.

There are also some that have taken great care and used color printing.

If it is kept in a folder, it is considered a high-quality resume.

Fang Xing looked at these messy resumes and didn't dislike them.

However, auditions are about to begin, and it is impossible to read through more than two hundred resumes at this time.

So, Fang Xing held it up and handed it to the assistant director next to him, and said, "Screen through it, look carefully, and pick out the ones with potential. After the auditions of the invited actors are over, pick a few and try them out."

The assistant director nodded and started reading the resume.

With the development of the company, the size of Ark Culture's crew is also getting larger and larger.

The director team has also expanded to eight people.

In addition to Zhang Yigao, there are two executive directors, two assistant directors, and two casting directors.

At half past nine.

There was a commotion outside the door.

A nanny van was parked outside the film and television base. An actor, accompanied by his agent and assistant, got out of the van and walked towards the audition location for "Nirvana in Fire".

When hundreds of people outside the audition venue saw a celebrity coming, they immediately turned to look.

"It's Wang Kai!"

Someone soon recognized the identity of the visitor, who was none other than Wang Kai, a popular actor from Huahuo Media.

"It's really him. He must have been invited by Director Fang to audition."

"He is so popular now. He became famous after starring in one of Director Fang's dramas. He is so lucky."

The actors guarding the door all cast envious glances at Wang Kai.

Among the hundreds of people guarding the door, most came here to try their luck, and some were specially invited actors.

One of the special actors has played many film and television roles with lines. When he saw Wang Kai, he was a little embarrassed.

Because Wang Kai was once a special actor like him, and they often auditioned for the crew together two years ago.

Later, Wang Kai signed with a talent agency and gradually took on more roles, but they were still small roles.

Until Wang Kai was noticed by the crew of "The Pretender", and then he skyrocketed.

When Wang Kai came over, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

"Wang Kai, I really like your play." Someone in the crowd shouted to Wang Kai.

"I would also like."

Wang Kai waved hello to them and responded politely: "Thank you, thank you..."

Fang Xing stood in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the crowd of people outside.

It's already the end of July, it's summer, and it's not even ten o'clock yet, but the sun is already very bright.

Fang Xing looked at the crowd below and said to the assistant director behind him: "Are they planning to wait outside all the time?"

The assistant director nodded and replied: "The actor industry is like this. When the weather gets better, some people may leave, but I guess most of them will still wait here."

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "Let's do this. Buy a batch of sun umbrellas and stools and ask someone to deliver them. From now on, our crew will arrange it this way for auditions and situations like this again."

"Okay, I'll move it right away." The assistant director agreed and called two crew members to buy sun umbrellas together.

After making arrangements, Wang Kai knocked on the door and walked in: "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's still early."

Fang Xing closed the window to block out the noise outside and prepared to start the audition.
Chapter completed!
