Chapter 354 Start-up and Publication
The notification call came after five o'clock, and Reba had already returned to the school dormitory at that time.

My heart was in turmoil and I was full of random thoughts.

Tao Hui was similar, except that her expression was slightly worried.

During the audition, she bravely paid attention to the expressions of several judges. Jiang Heng always had a serious look on his face, and her performance did not seem to impress him.

But the eyes of the others were obviously more eager.

The problem is that the roles in Director Jiang’s new film must be decided based on Director Jiang’s opinions, and other people probably won’t be able to get a say!
Did I just miss it like that?

Compared to the glamorous and wealthy big stars, the life of a small clerk is really boring.

She is just a freshman in college and has never thought about these issues before, but because of this audition, she is eager to enter the entertainment industry.

The cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the dormitory.

Tao Hui first looked at the phone beside her pillow and found that it was not her ringing. Her face turned pale instantly.

"Hello, I'm Dilireba. Signing a contract? Really, that's great. Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow. Thank you, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Reba felt dizzy, as if she was in a dream.

The other girls also came over with a look of surprise on their faces, "No way, Reba, you, you really got chosen?"

"Well, that should be it. That's what they said on the phone!"

"Oh my god, you're going to be a big star!"

"It's hard to say, maybe he's just a little actor!"

"You must be joking. Director Jiang, his film is being screened worldwide. Don't forget about us in the future!"

Seeing her roommates gathered around Reba, Tao Hui felt extremely jealous but she didn't even dare to say a mocking word.

She might become a big star soon, and I might even need her help in the future. If I play a small role, I will definitely earn more than an ordinary person, right?

Just as she was feeling emotional, Tao Hui's cell phone rang.

"I am, you, what did you say? I was also selected? Director Jiang's new film...Oh, it's just signed with the company, no, no problem, I will be there on time tomorrow, thank you, thank you!"

The other girls in the room were stunned and didn't understand what was going on with Tao Hui.

After hanging up the phone, everyone turned around and asked what happened.

Tao Hui got out of bed leisurely and said calmly, "Oh, the company thought I had good qualifications, so they signed me as an actor and will arrange for me to act in movies and TV series!"

"Ah, Huihui, you are so awesome, I told you that you can do it!" Li Fei was extremely excited.

The girl next to her said, "Huihui, you, are you going to be a star too?"

Tao Hui chuckled and said proudly, "I can't say I'm a big star, I'm just a small actor. If we talk about big stars, it has to be Reba. From now on, we will both be on iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, so you have to protect me!"

After saying that, he put his arm around Reba's shoulders, looking very intimate.

Reba smiled and said, "We are good sisters, we will definitely support each other!"

Tao Hui was happy, "Come on, I'll treat you, let's celebrate!"

Reba hesitated, "Let's talk about it another day. I need to go to bed early tonight because I have to sign the contract tomorrow morning!"

Tao Hui said quickly: "Yes, yes, you are really thoughtful!"

Li Fei said: "How about we buy some food and come back to eat!"

The girls thought this was a good idea, so they went out together to a small restaurant outside the school to pack up some dishes and bought a few bottles of beer to eat and drink.

The next day, Dilireba and Tao Hui came to the hotel together and found that there were two other girls who had come to audition yesterday. The four of them signed the contract together. Dilireba had to ask for leave from school and go to the company for a simple training before joining the crew. After the filming of this drama is finished, she will basically go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy to study.

The other three girls will focus on their studies for the time being. iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video will find training teachers for them and set up simple training classes.

Training is required every evening and weekend.

During the winter and summer vacations, you will have the opportunity to join a crew and act in film and television dramas.

The girls all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they were just small actors, not big stars.

It is still difficult for them to give up their studies and go to film without hesitation, but it is good like this now.

Reba left, and after finishing her school affairs, she flew to Beijing as soon as possible.

iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video arranged an apartment, an assistant, an agent, and a driver for her. She was also assigned a car. Although it was only an Audi A4, it still surprised her.

She is still just a small actor and hasn’t even joined the crew yet. She didn’t expect iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures to be so generous and give her a “big gift package” after signing the contract!

For this reason, Reba asked her assistant in a slightly "humbly" manner why the company gave her such a high salary when she was not famous yet!

The female assistant smiled and said, "You will definitely become famous if you act in Director Jiang's movie. Even if you can't become a first-tier star, you will at least be a second-tier star. In this case, the salary can be arranged in advance!"

Di Lieba had an expression of "I see", and her favorability towards iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video instantly soared to the peak.

It was not until the following afternoon that she had the chance to meet Jiang Heng and discovered that Director Jiang was even more handsome than she had ever seen him on the big screen. His smile was very contagious and his attitude was even gentler.

First, he asked whether she was used to the food and accommodation, and then briefly talked about the company's development plans for her.

At the end, she was handed a script and asked to go back and think about it. A special teacher would give her training later.

After leaving Jiang Heng’s office, Di Lieba felt dizzy.

"How does it feel?" The female assistant smiled meaningfully.

"very good!"

"Are you moved?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"

The female assistant said frankly: "No need to hide it, it's normal to be moved. Director Jiang is so good, who wouldn't be moved! But you are at least qualified, people like us can only think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Di Lieba couldn't help but fantasize, and then shook her head, as if trying to shake this horrible idea out of her mind.

"Haha!" The female assistant was overjoyed.

When the crew of "Under One Person" was auditioning the actor for Xia He, the actors for the other roles were also being carefully selected.

In addition, the shooting locations, costumes, and props were all prepared in an orderly manner.

In early April, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video officially announced that they would hold a new film launch ceremony and press conference in Beijing, and then took the crew to Jiangxi to officially start filming.

During this period, the comic company acquired by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video has been working day and night to produce the comics, and the first volume of the single book will be available to readers in mid-April.

These comics were completed under the guidance of Jiang Heng. The final draft before publication was naturally different from the previous version, but fortunately there is not much difference.

It’s not like Jiang Heng drew it himself, so we can’t be too harsh on him.

In a blink of an eye, a few days had passed and the single volume of "Under One Person" had been sold at magazine sales outlets and bookstores across the country. Because it was marked with the words "Jiang Heng's original movie comic" on it, it was sold out as soon as it was released.

Many readers initially bought this magazine out of curiosity, and did not want to become addicted after just one read. It would not do to wait impatiently for updates, so they must recommend it to their friends!

As sales become increasingly popular, Jiang Heng’s new film is also beginning to be anticipated by more people!
