"Hey, What the hell happened at the audition?"
An employee of the marketing team asked a producer as he entered the room.
"Hehe, you are curious, right. I will just say that it was really amazing."
"Don't keep me in suspense. I heard that the CEO, even Director Fu was all smiles after the audition. What happened in it?"
"What do you think would have happened. We finally got someone to play the role of Yiren and I am sure that the viewers will be shocked by it."
The marketing team employee widened his eyes when he heard that as he exclaimed.
"That rookie actress was that great. I thought she would be only on the level of okay."
"You are underestimating her too much. She was much better and something else was better than her acting."
"Something else? What was it?"
The marketing team employee asked in a confusing and the producer made a meaningful smile as he said.
"You will know once the drama airs. I think that someone from our drama can surely earn a award."
"Award? Is it Xin Ren or Chen Mei? No, are you talking about the rookie actress."
"You will know once it airs but it would surely be difficult."
"Oh, yes now the casting is finally finished, when are we going to announce it."
The marketing team employee said changing the subject. He felt that he would never be able to sustain his curiosity as the producer was just making round conversations.
"We are planning to announce it after Whiz stars aired. We were going to use it's momentum to make some hype."
"Hey, isn't the Whiz stars broadcast tonight."
The marketing team employee said as he widened his eyes in surprise.
"Yeah, we are going to reveal it tonight."
The producer said as he started making coffee with a happy expression.
"I bet there would be mix reactions about it as Ren is still considered a rookie in the industry."
"Yeah, people will call him hasty but they will also feel curious about it, we will use it as our weapon."
"Yeah, but I think their thoughts will change after the drama airs. I saw his audition and his acting was great."
The marketing team employee hadn't seen Xiao Rin's audition but he had seen Ren's and he quite liked his acting.
"Yeah, I was not that enthusiastic at first but now, I think our drama will be a memorable one."
"A memorable one? For what?"
The marketing thing employee said as he tilted his head and the producer said as he made a bright and meaningful smile.

'It's a familiar feeling.'
Ren thought as he glanced at his surroundings. He was currently in the PR Team office, waiting for the premiere of Whiz stars.
On the table, there were various snacks and chicken. There were also cans of beers and juices.
The reason Ren get a familiar feeling was because he felt the same when «Secret spy» was going to premiere.
Although he was slight nervous, he was feeling more anticipation this time. He quickly wanted the broadcast to start as he waited with expectations.
"I am very nervous."
Ren glanced at his side when he heard that. Xiao Rin was sitting there with a bit of nervousness in her eyes.
It was late and she should be in her dorm but there was a reason she was here, just yesterday the results of her audition had come out and she had passed it with flying colors.
She was not just a trainee now, she was an actress who was going to debut soon. That's why she was here.
She had requested Director Zhao to have her watch the premiere in the PR Team office and he had agreed as he thought nothing much of it.
"Why are you nervous? Your audition results have already came out."
Ren said as he thought about her figure which was very nervous while she was waiting for her results.
It was another thing that after her results came out, she was hardly able to believe it and her eyes were even a little red.
"Not because of that. I am worried about the broadcast."
"You are not even a part of it. Why are you nervous? The one who should really be nervous is me."
"I, I am just feeling nervous."
Xiao Rin said as she slight shuttered.
"Hehe, you are really unique. You are acting like White bear over there."
As they were talking, Director Kang interrupted them as she pointed at White bear who was nervously eating the chicken and snacks with one hand while he was checking the forums with the other.
"At least, she's not eating like a glutton just because she's nervous."
"Yeah, it's true but you are not looking very nervous. Why are you so calm?"
"Should I be nervous instead."
Ren said as he joked with a smile and Director Kang giggled hearing it.
It was not like Ren was not nervous, he was nervous and even a bit anxious as his whole family was watching the broadcast.
His cousins had even announced it in their school and a lot of people will be watching the broadcast because of Ren.
Ren felt nervous because of that but he didn't show it on the face as he was slowly getting used to this nervousness.
"Brother Ren, it looks like there are many people waiting for the broadcast to start."
Xiao Rin said as she showed him a tablet in which a forum was opened and people were excitedly talking about Whiz stars.
-Ah, can't wait for the broadcast to start.
-It's my favorite show currently.
-I am excited about Jiang Hae and Wu Qing. I am a big fan of them.
-Yeah, there is also Sun Yan, Rapper Shake, Li Xinru and Xin Ren.
-Xin Ren? Is he the one who appeared in «Secret spy»
-Yeah, I saw the promo and he was good in the show.
-Really, I wonder what his real personality would be like.
-He wasn't looking like a crazy person in the promo.
-Ah, I wish to see Shake rap on the show.
There were various comments on the forums as people were waiting for the broadcast to start in anticipation.
"It looks like there are many people waiting for the broadcast."
"Yeah, I even told my family to watch it."
Ren widened his eyes in surprise when he heard that and said.
"Thank you for your help."
"It's okay, Brother Ren have also helped me a lot. "
Xiao Rin said as she shook her head.
"Oh, yes, have you told your family about the drama?"
Ren asked a question he was curious about and Xiao Rin again shook her head as she said.
"No, I will inform them on my holiday."
"Ah, they will surely be surprised."
Ren said as he thought about his parents reaction when they saw his movie. He was sure that her parents would be shocked still by the news.
Their daughter would be making her debut, it would be a proud moment for her parents.
"Hey, the broadcast is starting."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard Director Kang voice from the side and they both titled their heads towards the screen in the middle of the office.
"I wish the ratings would reach at least 2%. Chief Jiang said he would treat us to expensive dinner if it happened."
White bear said as he focused his attention on the screen.
Jiang Wan was not with them in the office as he had some work to do but he had told them that he would treat them if the ratings exceeds his expectations.
"It's finally starting."
"I can't wait anymore."
With those mutterings in the office, the broadcast of Whiz stars finally started.
