"Let's start with the audition!" Wang Yang stood up and moved to the camera. He turned on the machine and, having never observed Daniel Wu's camera presence and acting while personally controlling the camera, this was effectively a full-fledged new actor audition. He watched Daniel Wu through the camera monitor and issued his request, "Daniel, give me a left profile; um, OK, right profile..."
Daniel Wu complied, turning and making various movements and expressions as instructed; meanwhile, Joshua, standing beside Wang Yang, watched intently, studying every move. Casting auditions naturally fell under the purview of the producer, but at the moment, Wang Yang was the sole decision-maker for the lead roles in the film, while the selection of some supporting roles was delegated to other producers and casting directors.
