Chapter 20: Just Exaggerate A Bit
But Jiang Qi’s audition this time didn’t go too smoothly.
Wang Zhaoqiu should have informed Qiu Heng in advance. When Shen Lei and Jiang Qi arrived at the audition set for “Jiao Si”, it was Qiu Heng’s assistant, Huang Haofan, who personally came out to greet them.
Qiu Heng was a director from Hong Kong, and so was his assistant. Before they even approached, Huang Haofan smiled and said, “Mr. Shen.”
…Normally, Shen Lei should have responded with “Mr. Huang,” but he felt awkward saying it that way, so he just said, “Assistant Huang.”
“Director Qiu is waiting inside.” After Huang Haofan greeted Shen Lei, he glanced up and down at Jiang Qi. During this time, who hadn’t heard of Jiang Qi’s name dominating the headlines? Who wasn’t curious? Huang Haofan was naturally no exception, his gaze filled with interest as he smiled slightly. “Let me take you over.”
The three of them went to the audition set together. Qiu Heng was a man in his late thirties, unmarried, tall and slender. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his sharply defined face, and even in the noisy set, he wore a suit as if he were attending a formal dinner.
Most Hong Kong men were good at taking care of themselves, and Qiu Heng looked like he was in his early thirties at most. He exuded a delicate, rigorous, and meticulous feeling.
He stood up and shook hands with Shen Lei, but only nodded at Jiang Qi. In the entertainment industry, there was a clear distinction between seniors and juniors, as well as between superiors and subordinates. Qiu Heng clearly understood this principle well. He exuded an imposing aura in front of his juniors.
In the industry, Shen Lei and Qiu Heng’s positions were actually quite similar. Qiu Heng had won more awards, but Shen Lei had stronger box office performance. But compared to Qiu Heng, Shen Lei was much more affable.
