The smile at the corner of Murong Qian’s mouth deepened, “I was not referring to you. Some people, shouldn’t feel called out.”
“You… you despicable person!”
Yu Youlan grinded her teeth, subconsciously raising her right hand, preparing to slap her, but her fair wrist was caught in mid-air by Murong Qian.
“What’s wrong? Are you so angry you’re embarrassed? Are you not afraid that the media will see and distribute this ugly look of yours?”
Murong Qian finished speaking and violently shook off her hand.
“Heh, the media wouldn’t dare write indiscriminately!
Yu Youlan snorted coldly, confident and fearless.
Knowing that she has a strong power behind her, no one would view her lightly, so Murong Qian was used to this kind of rhetoric from her.
Seeing Murong Qian remaining silent, Yu Youlan couldn’t help but mock her, “Get your hopes down, as for Director Desen’s film, the investor is Tang Xin Entertainment. Even if you go to audition, you are only making up the numbers. Of course, if you are willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I could talk to the company and give you the role of the third female lead. The third female lead is a seductive country wrecker, which I think suits you well, completely in line with your nature. How about it?”
“Hehe!”
Murong Qian gave a dry laugh, with no laughter in her eyes, “I appreciate the kindness, Miss Yu. But, I, Murong Qian, will only kneel to my parents and elders, as well as to those ancestors who have passed away. And you, who do you think you are?”
“You ”
“If your spirits are not well, you should see a doctor. It’s best to seek early treatment for illnesses!”
After she spoke, she walked past her, striding toward the audition room.
Her agent quickly followed.
Watching her swaying silhouette, Yu Youlan clenched her palms tightly, “Damn Murong Qian, I will never let you go!”
Standing at the door of the audition room, Murong Qian took a deep breath before pushing the door to enter.
In there sat five judges, including Director Desen, two assistant directors, a producer, and…
Seeing the man dressed in a suit sitting in the centre, behind the frameless glasses, casually looking at herself, Murong Qian finally realized.
It seemed that the opportunity to audition was not because Director Desen placed great emphasis on the quality of the work, but because of the man in front of her…
He was sitting in the center, presumably the investor, and surely, his investment share was definitely more than Tang Xin Entertainment!
“Beautiful young lady, please introduce yourself.
Seeing Murong Qian staring at him blankly, Lu Cong adjusted his glasses, lazily stretched his legs, and his deep voice was laced with a hint of charm that scratched through Murong Qian s heart.
Murong Qian recovered her senses, politely bowed to everyone, and said sweetly, “Hello, everyone. My name is MUMU, and I want to audition for the scene where the female lead, Luo Ying, dances with the sword in the wind and snow.”
“Sure.”
Director Desen nodded, “However, we have no props here, you have to perform without physical objects, OK?”
“No problem.”
Murong Qian gave a bright smile.
Director Desen looked at her radiant smile and was somewhat satisfied.
He was highly reluctant when Tang Xin Entertainment forced him to predetermine Yu Youlan, but they were the biggest investors, he had no choice. Luckily, the Lu Group sent someone to contact him stating that they highly appreciate this script and hope to become the biggest investor, but on one condition, that is to select the role fairly.
He was more than willing, so at the risk of offending Tang Xin Entertainment, he agreed immediately, resulting in today1 s audition.
After interviewing dozens of actresses, none met his aesthetic for the female lead. Luckily, this MUMU looked okay, at least in terms of appearance and temperament.
At this moment, Desen decided that if her acting skills were not irreparable and ultimately had no better options, he would choose her.
Murong Qian wasn’ t aware that she had already been placed on Director Desen’s list of potential options even before she started to perform.
She took a moment to prepare before immersing herself into the character.
Luo Ying, the young lady of Snow Sword Villa, practiced swordsmanship from a young age.
She could have grown up happy and carefree, but at fifteen, her family was destroyed by enemies, and the villa was completely wiped out.
The sword dance Murong Qian performed was precisely the scene where the film switches from an innocent little girl transforming into a young woman bearing the grudges of bloodshed; from innocence to pain, to forbearance, to eruption…
She brilliantly handled every emotional shift in each frame, immersing the audience in the scene, unable to recover for a long time.
“Great!”
Someone took the lead, and the five people present all applauded unanimously.
“Thank you.”
Murong Qian bowed again, then wiped the corner of her eye.
Director Desen curiously asked, “May I ask, what roles have you played
before?”
“I’m a singer, I haven’t acted before.”
Murong Qian answered honestly.
The people present exchanged glances, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes. “It seems Ms. MUMU is a natural-born actress, dedicated to this line of work.” Lu Cong hooked his lips. His deep gaze was fixed on her beautiful face, unwilling to move away.
Murong Qian responded lightly, “Thank you for your compliment.”
“Ms MUMU, I am very satisfied with your performance. However, as there are more actors participating in the audition after you, I can’t give you an answer right now. I hope you can go home and wait for news, thank you.”
Director Desen’s attitude was extraordinarily amiable.
“Ok, thank you.”
Murong Qian smiled slightly, bowed gracefully, and left the room.
“How did it go, how did it go?”
The agent waiting outside approached her immediately as he saw her.
Murong Qian pursed her lips, calmed her messy emotions, winked playfully, “I think it went well, but, let’s wait for the notification, so we don’t celebrate prematurely.”
“Right.”
The agent nodded approvingly.
The two left together.
After Murong Qian got in the car and was about to close her eyes to rest, the phone in her bag suddenly vibrated.
She took a look, it was a WeChat message from Lu Cong: [Did you enjoy meeting me, was it a surprise? Let’s have dinner together tonight?] Murong Qian: [I’m not happy, very surprised! I’m on a diet, not eating.] Lu Cong: [Alright, if you don’t accompany me, I won’t eat either. Poor me, I flew straight here to watch your audition without having any food the entire day, might as well starve.]
Murong Qian:”…”
On the other side, at the Mo Group.
In the president’s office, Mo Shiting sat in the large office chair, looking at the uninvited guest sitting opposite him, he asked coldly, “I wonder what brings Count Allen here?”
“To deliver an invitation.”
Murong Si gave a light laugh, but his eyes did not smile.
Mo Shiting frowned, seeing him take out a clearly maltreated invitation from his suit pocket and place it on the desk.
“It’s for Uncle Gu’s birthday banquet, he specifically asked me to invite you! Heh, I guess Little Pear didn’t invite you to come with her, did she?”
