Chapter 98: Little Flowers Gathering
Tang Yan doesn't sound very confident, but she is an example of someone who is brave enough to venture into the entertainment industry.

Originally, at the age of 18, she won the championship in the national television finals of the rd Shulei Century Star Beauty Pageant this winter.

However, this time, because there is an audition for the female lead in Jiang Heng's new film, she is not planning to participate in any beauty pageant.

After all, even if they win, there won't be much benefit.

If she is chosen to be the heroine of Jiang Heng's new film, she will be able to reach the top overnight.

After school, Tang Yan went to a photo studio first, took a few photos of his daily life, and then went home to prepare a resume.

The next day, accompanied by my best friend, I went to the Shanghai Preparatory Office for the "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" female lead audition to submit my information.

Looking at the densely packed queue in front of her, my bestie was stunned: "There are too many people, right? Are all the girls in Shanghai here?"

"There should be more than just people from Shanghai. I guess there are also people from Suzhou and Hangzhou!" Tang Yan judged.

For this audition, applicants have two ways to submit their information. One is to mail it directly to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video in Beijing. The other is to submit it on-site at the preparatory offices in the five cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu.

Those who are too far away from these five cities basically choose the first option.

For those who live in the five cities or nearby areas, most of them choose to have their goods delivered in person.

After all, it was a major event that concerned their future and destiny, so the girls naturally felt that it was safest to hand in the materials in person, resulting in long queues and overcrowding at the preparatory offices in various places.

Tang Yan and her best friend waited in line for more than an hour before arriving and handed over their information respectfully.

The preparatory office will not dismiss people on the spot, that would be too hurtful.

The girls were only asked to make a simple self-introduction and show off their bodies to see their true appearance and figure. If they were good, they would make a mark on their file bags and put them in the cardboard box for those who passed the inspection. Those who failed were put in a white plastic bucket, which was also a clear distinction.

"Hello, teacher. I am Tang Yan, a flight attendant major from Shanghai Tourism and Business College. I am 18 years old...!"

Tang Yan is in her youth, has a sweet smile, is 172cm tall, and has received professional training as a flight attendant. Compared with most of the girls present, she stands out from the crowd.

The person in charge of the preliminary selection of the Shanghai Preparatory Group was stunned for several seconds, and then showed a look of surprise, "Ms. Tang, can you sing?"

"I know a little!"

"Whose songs do you like?"

"From Wang Fei and Zhang Xueyou!"

"Sing it for me!"

Tang Yan hesitated for a few seconds and sang Wang Fei's "Obsession" a cappella, "Whose heart can I use to experience and truly feel the surroundings? Even if I am tired, I can only be obsessed and not regret..."

Tang Yan's voice and singing skills are not the best, but her condition is inexplicably infectious. The person in charge of the preparatory group made three marks on the file bag before putting it into the approved cardboard box.

"Ms. Tang is excellent in every aspect. Go back and wait for the call!"

"Thank you teacher!"

Tang Yan smiled sweetly, bowed and left.

The girls around her clearly felt the appreciation of Tang Yan by the organizing committee, and said indignantly: "Why did others ask her to sing when they only asked a few questions?"

"It can't be that he has been selected internally!"

"It's hard to say!"

People around were talking about it, but Tang Yan ignored them and went shopping with her best friend, sharing the joy of the moment.

"You think I will be chosen?"

Tang Yan asked while eating an ice cream cone and looking at the Huangpu River. Her best friend ate even less elegantly, showing off with her mouth wide open, and said vaguely: "Of course I can. If I can make Director Jiang crazy, don't forget to ask him to take care of me!"

"Nonsense! He's so powerful, how could he possibly fancy a little girl like me?"

"Yes, the airport...!"

"Ah, I'm going to strangle you...!"

In the afterglow of sunset, on the Bund street, two girls were laughing and playing carefreely on the side of the road.

In Beijing, Jiang Heng, who was staying at iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, checked the faxes sent by several preparatory offices. The contents included the number of people who passed the preliminary selection, as well as the details of the relevant personnel they were more optimistic about.

Jiang Heng also saw many names that would be familiar to him in the future, including Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Wang Ou, Qin Lan, Sun Li, Ma Shu, Song Jia, Tong Liya... Many actresses who were born around the 80s and debuted around 2001 have submitted their information to participate in the audition for the female lead in his new film.

"There are too many talented players. It would be interesting to see them compete against each other!"

At this moment, there was no successful talent show in the country, and the future popular "Super Girl" would have to wait until the second session in 05.

In 04, only the third place winner Zhang Hanyun had some traffic, but the others didn’t become popular.

Jiang Heng didn't expect to make much money from the talent show, but he thought that in ten or twenty years, when these actresses become famous, he would look back at their audition performance videos and their expressions would be very interesting!

In fact, it’s not just female stars, the art exam performances of male stars are also very interesting, such as Huang Bo and Zhang Jiayi.

Unfortunately, the school’s video equipment at the time was not very good, so when we watched it again ten or twenty years later, the image quality was too blurry.

But Jiang Heng had plenty of money, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it seemed to him. He decided to use a film camera to record the scene during the "finals" of the auditions in Beijing.

At this time, an assistant came over and said that Sammo Hung and Jennifer Yan had come together.

"Oh, please let them in!"

Soon, the assistant brought the two men into the office.

"Brother, Adam, how come you have time to come here?" Jiang Heng stood up and said with a smile.

Hong Jinbao went forward to hug him, then sat on the sofa and said casually: "Adan always said he wanted to thank you. If you hadn't invested in "SPL" and made him popular again, he would have wanted to quit the circle!"

Thanks to Jiang Heng's guest appearance and vigorous publicity, as well as help with review, "SPL" was successfully released in China during the summer and took in 100 million yuan at the box office.

The film also sold over 30 million in Hong Kong, and its box office performance in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia was good.

With its fist-fighting, dark and fatalistic film style, "SPL" has become the hottest action movie this summer, just like it has copied the success of "Ong Bak".

Zhen Zidan also successfully became popular again and became a new kung fu superstar.

Although he received many film offers quickly after he became famous, and many big film producers tailored kung fu films for him, the quality was not very good because the preparation time was too short.

Zhen Zidan wanted to come over and ask about Jiang Heng's work because he remembered his favor, but there was nothing he could do to help with the new film.

"Mr. Jiang, I want to come and play a role for free!"

Jiang Heng laughed and wanted to say, I still need your salary for my filming!
When the words came to my lips, I suddenly felt that this was a bit hurtful.

"Well, as long as you have this intention, it won't be a zero-pay job!"

Zhen Zidan smiled innocently, "I just feel that Mr. Jiang really takes care of me. I don't know how to repay him!"

Jiang Heng said: "Making a good movie with all your heart and not treating the audience like fools is the greatest reward!"
