Jiangnan City's Sports Center on Saturday could literally be described as a sea of people. Ever since Zhang Menglong announced that the auditions for "Three-Body" would take place here, the young people of the city went crazy. Of course, not everyone came for the work "Three-Body"; many were there to see their beloved idols. According to incomplete statistics, among the people coming to audition today, there were dozens of popular stars, and former top actors and actresses were emerging in droves. To put it dramatically, today was practically a gathering of half the entertainment and film industry! Early in the morning, passionate fans had already gathered outside the venue, causing the staff who came to open the doors to almost think there had been a terrorist attack, nearly calling the police. To prevent chaos, hundreds of security guards pulled up long security lines, but still couldn't extinguish the fans' fervent hearts. "They're coming, they're coming!" With a burst of cheering, the somewhat weary fans finally started to boil over with excitement. "Dozens of Rolls Royces? That's quite a statement, isn't it?" "I wonder which actors or actresses they are!" "You guys are out of the loop, right? Those cars aren't for the actors coming to audition; they're sent by Zhang to pick up people from the airport!" "Damn, dozens of Rolls Royces, does he own the company or what?" "This...bro, you're not wrong, it's not entirely impossible!" "Isn't that Brother Shimmering Light?" "After a few years of doing game endorsements, hacking down dozens of brothers, the movie star has finally returned!" "Gu Tianluo! My male god!" "They're among the few people in the world who could threaten my looks!" "Look at the male stars nowadays, none of them has a manly vibe, none at all. This is what a real man looks like!" Explore more at empire "Sob, my goddess! Wow, she's over forty but still looks younger than me!" "Excuse me, excuse me, I don't deserve to be a woman." "Such an all-star lineup, it's something that probably only happened over a decade ago, right?" "Truly worthy of Director Zhang, so lavish. Any other person wouldn't even be able to afford their salaries!" ... He sighed with a wry smile. After all, he was in his forties now, and his body wasn't as nimble as in his younger years. Though he had taken on many roles over the years, his fees were not high, not even close to one-tenth of what popular artists made. Such income couldn't support his charity work any longer. He had come to try his luck because he had heard the investors were wealthy and generous. It seemed that he could no longer compete with the younger generation of fresh-faced actors. "Mr. Gu, you'll know if you go," the girl said. "Alright, I'll rest tonight and head back tomorrow. The fee for that film might be low, but it should still be enough to build a few more school buildings," Gu Tianluo said, turning to the girl. "Then please lead the way." The hotel was just across the street from the sports center and happened to be the largest one nearby. But strangely, the girl didn't take him and his agent-cum-assistant to a room to rest, but instead to a space that looked like a conference room. Inside sat two young men in their early 20s, one of whom had a girl about the same age standing behind him, seemingly his assistant. "You are..." Gu Tianluo didn't surf the internet much. Aside from charity and acting, nothing else really appealed to him or caught his interest. "Mr. Gu, my name is Zhang Menglong, one of the investors for 'Three-Body,' and this is Wang Ling, the chairman of Wanda Film Production Company, which is organizing the shooting plan for this film," one of the young men said. "Hello," Gu Tianluo greeted, somewhat surprised to see such young investors. He had heard that not only had they invited the most outstanding special effects team, but the director and screenwriter lineup were all top-level. The people with such financial backing turned out to be just two young men. "Mr. Gu, we cordially invite you to join our film crew as the lead male actor, Wang Miao," Zhang Menglong earnestly invited. "Ah?" Gu Tianluo was stunned. Wasn't he supposed to have been eliminated? Even if they really did favor him, shouldn't the decision have taken longer? He was just the first to audition, and there might be others more suitable than him yet to come. If it weren't for his faint recollection of Zhang Menglong's name, he might have even suspected a scam. "You've decided just like that, without further consideration?" "All the directors believe you are the most suitable candidate, so there's no need for further consideration. Now, we just want to hear your choice," they said. "Willing—I am, of course, willing!" Gu Tianluo knew all too well that even though he was past his prime, this was still the lead role. The other party might skimp on his fee, but it wouldn't be too outrageous. With this money, he could probably invest in a few more schools. "Then here's to a happy collaboration!" Zhang Menglong shook hands with Gu Tianluo. "Hong Yi, make the payment!" "Yes, Mr. Zhang." "Mr. Zhang, we haven't discussed the fee yet, this..." "Gu-zai!" Before Gu Tianluo could finish, his assistant interrupted him, then showed him the screen of her phone. "1... 100 million?"
