Chapter 2398 - 2391: Encountering Xu Hao Again
"Do you know who he is?" Xu Hao pointed at the man with the ID badge and said.
"I’m all ears." Wang Dadong replied casually.
Xu Hao cracked a smile and said, "You don’t even know him, yet you dare to come for an interview?"
"Offending me, Xu Hao, you’ll never make it in the entertainment industry for the rest of your life!" Xu Hao shook his head sympathetically, then said to Little Zhang, "You know what to do, right?"
"Don’t worry, Brother Hao, I understand." Little Zhang, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, shamelessly called a youth in his twenties "brother."
It was quite laughable.
"Oh my, is that Young Master Xu?" At this time, the girl beside Uncle Da exclaimed.
Upon hearing the scream, Xu Hao turned around.
"Wow, it really is Young Master Xu, so handsome!"
"Not only is he handsome, he can act too! Truly incredible."
"Young Master Xu, can we have an autograph?"
"Uncle Da, is Young Master Xu the person you want to introduce us to?"
"Thank you, Uncle Da!"
A group of girls swarmed around Xu Hao.
"Hello." Initially, Xu Hao didn’t bother acknowledging these fangirls, but thinking of Wang Dadong nearby, he immediately smiled and cordially greeted the girls.
Xu Hao had acted in several plays; firstly because he had a solid foundation, and secondly because his father owned a major film company. Even without acting skills, he could still play the male lead.
Add that to his handsome looks and he had plenty of female fans.
Most importantly, catching him meant having the whole entertainment company as your backing, making fame worry-free.
"Brother, my apologies..." Uncle Da walked over to Wang Dadong, his expression slightly embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected to run into Xu Hao here.
Wang Dadong waved it off, indicating it was alright, since there were plenty of actresses.
"Hey, finish getting the autograph and come over here; the person looking for you is him." Uncle Da, slightly irritated, called out to the girls.
However, those girls only had eyes for Xu Hao and didn’t heed Uncle Da’s words.
At this moment, Xu Hao’s face beamed with satisfaction, as though he had finally overshadowed Wang Dadong.
Of course, not all the girls surrounded Xu Hao; two still followed behind Uncle Da.
Wang Dadong nodded towards the two girls.
"Hello, I’m Song Jia."
"I’m Zhou Quan."
Uncle Da explained the situation, and the two girls shook hands with Wang Dadong.
Wang Dadong was quite pleased with these two girls.
They looked nice and were very courteous.
"Sorry, Young Master Xu, we have other things to attend to, let’s hang out another day." The girls were somewhat reluctant, but since they had some connection with Uncle Da, they couldn’t be too rude.
"Oh, what else do you have to do?" Xu Hao asked, curiously.
After all, he was well-aware of his appeal to women and never had a woman leave him first.
"Oh, Young Master Xu, it’s like this..." The girl clattered and explained why Uncle Da had invited them for auditions.
Listening to the girls, Xu Hao nearly burst into laughter, pointing mockingly at Wang Dadong, saying, "Auditioning with him? You must be joking, haha, this is killing me."
Only after a while did Xu Hao stop his laughter and then said to the girls, "When you go in for the interview later, mention my name; even though it isn’t our Tianyu Entertainment, they will still give me face."
"Really? Young Master Xu?" The girls were pleasantly surprised.
With Xu Hao’s help, their chances of success in the interview were much higher.
"When have I, Xu Hao, ever failed to deliver?" Xu Hao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Young Master Xu."
"Young Master Xu, we love you."
The girls were excited, almost willing to give themselves up right away.
Actually, Xu Hao had no interest in helping these girls; he merely intended to undermine Wang Dadong.
"Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to some directors." Xu Hao seemed to feel he hadn’t hit Wang Dadong hard enough.
"Xu Hao, you’re the best!" Upon hearing that he’d introduce some directors, the girls were overjoyed.
The directors mentioned by Xu Hao were certainly not ordinary ones.
At least they were somewhat reputed directors.
The girls felt as if they were about to become famous, eagerly following Xu Hao away.
As they left, Xu Hao turned back and made a hand gesture implying Wang Dadong was low-grade.
Although these girls were merely auditioning with Wang Dadong, having your girls taken away in such a manner was surely a face-smacking thing.
"Brother, I’m really sorry..." Uncle Da was even more regretful.
Generally, these actors who couldn’t even be rated as third-tier would never catch Xu Hao’s eye; who knew what made Xu Hao behave like this today?
Even these minor actors were appealing to him.
Uncle Da didn’t know the dynamics between Wang Dadong and Xu Hao, so it was understandable why he didn’t get it.
Actually, not only the girls following Xu Hao but even the two remaining girls were full of envy.
This was an opportunity to get acquainted with Xu Hao.
If they could cling to Xu Hao, future dealings in the acting world would be smooth sailing.
Even if Xu Hao acted on a whim, the benefits to them would be significant.
Opportunities like these were scarce.
But they had no choice as they had promised Uncle Da first.
Wang Dadong also noticed the desolation in the eyes of the two girls.
This was undoubtedly a good opportunity, and they likely felt they were just being casted for some web dramas with him.
So those girls unhesitatingly chose to follow Xu Hao.
Even if Wang Dadong could promise them roles, they would only be temporary, whereas partnering with Xu Hao promised longevity.
If they could win over Xu Hao...
That would basically mean soaring to great heights.
Just then, Wang Dadong suddenly received a call from the Female CEO, saying there was an urgent matter for him to handle; she was on the set and couldn’t leave.
"Sorry, I have to deal with something, see you in a bit." After hanging up the phone, Wang Dadong apologized to the two girls.
"It’s okay," the two girls shook their heads, although they initially had no high hopes.
Yet the disappointment on their faces was clearly visible.
"Since you’re here, why not audition; you never know, it might work out. I’ve heard today’s actor recruitment involves major productions, including one that’s been heavily hyped recently, ’Full-time Bodyguard’. If you get selected, even for a minor role, the potential future benefits are immeasurable." Uncle Da advised the two girls.
Indeed, for an actor to become famous, the basic requirement is exposure.
Although ’Full-time Bodyguard’ hasn’t premiered yet, it has seen huge spending on advertisements in its early stages, plus it’s adapted from a popular online novel, boasting a massive loyal fanbase.
Moreover, it’s led by Feng Dagang, guaranteeing box office success once released.
