The audition for the first Pokémon movie began.
Many people received the news in advance, after all, the entertainment industry is a small place.
Sometimes, when you look up an actor’s information, you’ll be surprised to discover she is someone’s wife.
There were naturally many actors eager to join the cast.
After all, once the 15% viewership rating came out, everyone had a new understanding of the Pokémon IP – a mega-hit!
And it was a movie, which sounded very high-class.
Moreover, it was said that one of the female roles had a significant amount of screen time, even surpassing the role of Ash Ketchum played by Zhao Jin Mai.
In the entertainment industry, this was like finding a piece of Tang Monk’s flesh.
Yang Mi even planned to offer her “first time” for the role.
However, the requirement for the female lead was – under 13 years old.
Damn, I almost forgot, none of the main characters in this series are over 15.
But fortunately, there were still two main supporting roles to be cast.
One was a muscular man with a sturdy build.
The other was a mature beauty with an intellectual and elegant aura.
This made many female stars light up, “That's me!” they thought.
…
…
Unfortunately, Yang Mi received a text message from Su Yi Huan before she arrived: “Don’t come, you’re not suitable.”
Yang Mi immediately called Su Yi Huan.
Su Yi Huan thought Yang Mi was going to berate him.
Unexpectedly, the sister asked in a voice that could make one’s bones melt, “Brother ~ Why not ~”
Sss ~
As expected of someone who would later become a frequent collaborator and consistently maintain her position at the top of the industry.
If it were Liu Yi Fei, a straight-forward girl, she would either give you the silent treatment or directly ask “Why”.
“You can’t handle this role.”
Su Yi Huan quickly calmed down and responded.
Although Yang Mi’s current acting skills hadn’t deteriorated to the level of her future “Yang Boss” with lines like “懂?” (Got it?),
She was barely passable.
She could handle playing a vase character who only appears for a few episodes.
But as for Commander Koga?
She truly couldn’t handle the role.
The only common ground between her and Koga would probably be her large breasts.
“Dog man, go die!”
Okay, Yang Mi, who had yet to evolve into “Yang Boss”, was truly broken.
I’m already a near A-lister, and you reject me!?
“Mai Mai, we’re here.”
Zhao Jin Mai and her manager got out of the car in front of the office building where Su Yi Huan’s office was located.
As the actor playing Ash, she had quickly returned after completing the filming of The Earthquake, which took less than ten days.
On one hand, as the male lead, he needed to get the script and familiarize himself with the character in advance from Su Yi Huan.
On the other hand, her manager hoped to have Zhao Jin Mai sign with Su Yi Huan’s studio as soon as possible.
After all, during the filming of the Kanto Arc finale, there were rumors that Su Yi Huan was hesitant about whether to continue with Ash as the protagonist in the second season or switch to a new lead.
This scared Zhao Jin Mai and her management agency to death.
Especially seeing how popular the series had become, it was even more stressful.
“Mai Mai’s here! Su Dao is upstairs.”
The receptionist waved to Zhao Jin Mai with a smile. Of course, she didn’t need to ask if she had an appointment.
“Thank you, sister.”
Even though she had become popular, Zhao Jin Mai still maintained her cautious personality.
“Let me tell you a secret, Mai Mai. There are many female stars upstairs, including some A-listers.”
As soon as the receptionist said this, Zhao Jin Mai instinctively felt three words arise in her mind: Fox spirit!
…
…
When Zhao Jin Mai went upstairs, she found many people already standing outside Su Yi Huan’s office.
Among them were many sexy women wearing stockings.
Of course, these were mostly C-list or even 18th-line actors.
As for those within the top three tiers, they would leave “waiting” to their managers.
They would simply stay in the lounge drinking coffee and wait.
After all, everyone who had watched the series felt that Su Yi Huan seemed to dislike using big-name stars.
The Kanto Arc had a bunch of unknown actors: Zhao Jin Mai, Zhang Zi Feng, Peng Yu Chang… Damn, I don’t even know who they are.
The biggest names were Su Yi Huan himself, Jia Jing Wen, a semi-retired beauty, and Liu Tao, who was out of the spotlight for years...
Zhao Jin Mai didn’t recognize the managers and 18th-line actors lining the hallway.
But one person caught her attention.
Wasn’t that the fairy sister’s mother?
This aunt still looked elegant and had a high recognition factor. She was arguably the most famous manager in the entertainment industry. Whenever Liu Yi Fei appeared on camera, she would be within three meters.
That’s why Zhao Jin Mai recognized her.
“Su Dao is here!”
Zhao Jin Mai was thinking about whether to greet the aunt when someone suddenly shouted.
Zhao Jin Mai immediately turned around.
Well, let’s just look at the distant Uncle Su, guys.
Su Yi Huan, who appeared at this moment in the eyes of everyone, was like a character who suddenly entered the summit war in the One Piece world.
It exuded a sense of sophistication.
“Hmm? Mai Mai’s here.”
Su Yi Huan reached out and touched the little girl’s head, which hadn’t grown up yet.
“Yeah, yeah, I want to take a look at the script in advance and get to know the character.”
Zhao Jin Mai narrowed her eyes like a little cat.
This feeling of being favored… so good!
Seeing Su Yi Huan and Zhao Jin Mai together… many celebrity managers and 18th-line actors sighed in their hearts.
Why didn’t I have a big shot like this when I was ten years old?
Aunt Liu’s expression was also a bit strange.
She seemed to see… a second Liu Yi Fei.
Or rather, she saw the same qualities in Zhao Jin Mai as she had seen in Liu Yi Fei back then. To summarize it in four words –
A king bomb start.
