Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt? Whattttttttt?

Chapter 176 : The Audition (2)

As Shen Jingwei sat on the carpeted floor in the waiting room, he came to ponder Feng Jietang's words just now.

Was that true?

Could no one succeed without having any backup?

That being said, were auditions nothing but a facade? The actual battle took place off the stage, where giants rubbed shoulders with giants in an attempt to secure a glorious spot for their "champions".

Shen Jingwei let his gaze drift from one hopeful face to another, all of them budding talents trying to make a breakthrough.

10,000 people vying for a single spot.

That's 0,01% chance for every single person if they did not ride on any other benefits.

One person was going to get this role in the end, while 9,999 other people were going to go home in tears.

How many more of such auditions must one go through to finally get a role? Ten thousand?

If that was the case, might as well retire early, go to a village, and become a farmer.

"Brother Shen."
