Zhang Ming seemed to want Ren He to play King Treasure, but Ren He didn't think so. Shaking his head with a smile, he said, "Director Zhang, if I take on the role of King Treasure, it will be tough for me to keep a low profile in the future. You know that's not the life I'm looking for. Coming here to experience the life of an extra, not to act in a film outright, speaks to my attitude."
Zhang Ming laughed, "Just kidding. There are still 11 candidates for the role of King Treasure. Let's take a look together next Monday."
Ren He sighed in relief. If Zhang Ming hadn't prepared any candidates for King Treasure, it would have been clear that he was being pushed to play the role, which would have been quite awkward.
If described in workplace jargon, such behavior would be called "forcing the hand."
The role of King Treasure was crucial. Ren He thought for a moment and said, "Let's expand the audition scope. I want to see more."
"Sure," Zhang Ming nodded in agreement.
