At this moment, the corridor outside the conference room was in an uproar!
"What’s going on?"
"What are they doing in there?"
"How long has it been? Why haven’t they come out yet!"
Everyone present was staring at each other, completely clueless about what was happening inside.
Yet, it had only been a few minutes since Yang Hao went in for his audition!
They had just been betting on how quickly Yang Hao would sheepishly emerge!
But unexpectedly.
The main point was that such a long time formed a stark contrast to the rapid eliminations before!
This gave everyone a bad feeling!
But no one was willing to believe it!
After all, the current younger generation in China was there for all to see – lacking in skill and acting ability, with nothing much beyond a group of fans!
What’s more, Yang Hao had spent four years in Hollywood!
Now, everyone’s thoughts were focused here; if Yang Hao got this role, they suspected it was Lee Ji-eun somehow pulling strings behind the scenes!
With her influence, she could indeed make it happen.
Especially Pǔ Dàguó!
He had already given hints, and if he wasn’t chosen, it would be a complete embarrassment.
At this moment, he was expressionless, his eyes fixed on the conference room door, lost in thought!
Beside him, a group of people who had also been eliminated were murmuring in confusion:
"Brother Pǔ, what do you think is going on in there?"
"It’s unbelievable, it’s been almost three minutes and he still hasn’t come out!"
Another person stared at the door and speculated:
"Could it be that this kid, feeling ashamed after being rejected, secretly slipped out the back door?"
"You kid, does this conference room even have another door?"
.....
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, voicing their opinions.
Only Pǔ Dàguó waited silently, saying nothing!
He wanted to see what the result would be!
If there was any foul play, he wouldn’t mind exposing them.
"Creeeak!"
At this moment, a sound was heard, drawing everyone's attention!
The stagehand walked out, but people weren’t looking at him; instead, they were looking at the space behind him!
After waiting for a long time, no one emerged from there!
"Huh? Where is he?"
"That shouldn’t be. Did he really slip out the back door? No, there’s only one door here!"
"I just saw Lee Ji-eun go in. Won’t he wait until everyone else has left before sneaking out?"
The people present began to guess wildly.
"Everyone!"
At this time, the stagehand raised his arm and pressed it down, signaling everyone to quiet down!
The scene instantly fell silent.
Then, he surveyed the crowd and said:
"Thank you all for your hard work. The role of the male lead has been decided as Mr. Yang Hao. Today’s audition is concluded, please disperse."
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken!
The entire venue erupted!
The male lead was Yang Hao!
A Chinese person whom they had looked down upon the most!
How was this possible!
Was Yang Hao’s acting good? If his acting was good, why would he have been inactive in Hollywood for four years?
Was the director blind?
It was impossible; casting a Chinese person as the male lead carried such great risk.
It could even ruin his career!
So...
There must be something fishy!
Yes, there definitely is!
"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!" Pǔ Dàguó exclaimed loudly.
Then he walked out from the crowd!
If it had been another senior from the industry today, he could have endured it!
After all, hidden rules were still rules, and sometimes one had to accept such things in the entertainment industry.
But he never expected that this man would be so despicable and shameless.
Actually using Lee Ji-eun’s influence to help himself!
After all, his idol was her!
It was because of her that he gradually transitioned from a singer towards an acting career.
To think that she would be ruined by such a man.
"Yes, there must be something fishy!"
"How is it possible? Even if we can’t compare to others, can’t we compare to Chinese actors?"
"Exactly!"
Under his lead, everyone started chattering.
"We’re sorry, we mean no offense, we just want an explanation to clear our doubts!"
Naturally, he recognized Pǔ Dàguó and asked:
"Then what kind of explanation do you want?"
He replied coldly:
"It’s not that we don’t trust your company. We believe that because of Lee Ji-eun, Yang Hao’s past as a Chinese artist has been revealed to us!"
"We only have a few questions to ask now!"
"First question, is Yang Hao still inside?"
The stagehand nodded and replied:
"Of course, he’s still inside!"
"I want to go in and see, can I?" Although it was a question, Pǔ Dàguó’s tone was unquestionable.
"This..." The stagehand didn’t have that much authority!
However, the conference room door wasn’t closed, and Pǔ Dàguó took this opportunity to walk right in!
The stagehand couldn’t stop him!
As Pǔ Dàguó entered, he saw the director and Yang Hao discussing something with smiles on their faces!
This made him suspect something was amiss!
He had originally thought this was a fair audition.
He never expected that in the end, it would still be a case of pulling strings and back-door dealings.
No!
He had to get an explanation, otherwise, they were finished!
"Why are you coming in here?" the director frowned and asked.
"Director, I just want to ask, why did this person get the role of the male lead!"
"If you don’t provide an explanation, it’s hard to be convinced!"
"You also know that over the years, I’ve been an actor who has appeared in several movies. While I admit my acting still needs improvement, no matter what, it must be better than his!" he stated directly.
What’s more, Lee Ji-eun was present today!
He had to expose his hypocritical facade.
The director frowned. Although he had great authority, Pǔ Dàguó, as a rising actor in South Korea, had considerable resources and fans behind him!
There was no need to offend him!
Moreover, Yang Hao had no notable works to his name before, making it difficult to convince everyone.
However, there were no cameras here, so he couldn’t produce any evidence. He then looked towards Yang Hao.
This further solidified their suspicions.
Yang Hao raised his eyelids, his tone calm:
"Who do you think you are? Why should I prove anything to you!"
Yang Hao doesn’t bully others, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold grudges.
Does this Pǔ Dàguó really think he’s just a small celebrity who can do whatever he wants!
He’s thinking too much!
"You..." He never expected Yang Hao to speak like this!
This is too arrogant!
Does he think this is China?
"How about this, let’s make a bet!" Yang Hao continued in a steady tone.
