The other actors were montarily taken aback, then, almost instinctively, they joined the assistant director in applause, though still sowhat bewildered.
ng Xue’s smile had barely had ti to fade before it froze on her face, utterly unable to comprehend the turn of events.
She watched as MO Yishan greeted Si Fuqing with warmth, even going so far as to take her luggage with a respectful deanor.
MO Yishan was a special guest star; otherwise, as an award-winning actor, he certainly wouldn’t normally partake in a television series.
Before she joined the cast, Brother Zhou had repeatedly emphasized how beneficial befriending MO Yishan would be.
There was a clear divide between the movie and television industries, with TV actors often striving to break into film.
After all, breaking into the international scene typically required film roles.
Yet now, MO Yishan was actively welcoming Si Fuqing!
ng Xue, of course, heard the assistant director’s comnt and felt numb all over.
Si Fuqing was the female lead of “Crossing the Demon Realm”?
So, the ti she and Feng Peizhi encountered Si Fuqing at the audition site, Si Fuqing was actually auditioning for a major role and even secured the lead?
But how could this be?!
Gu Zhinan was an award- winning actress; how could she lose the lead role to Si Fuqing?
ng Xue’s mind buzzed, halting all thoughts.
Over two years ago, when the Starry Star Girls debuted abroad with her as the leader, the other four mbers rely served as her backdrop.
She never considered Si Fuqing a rival, even when Si Fuqing removed her makeup in front of the whole internet to reveal her true face, ng Xue saw her as nothing more than a pretty face.
ng Xue could console herself that Si Fuqing’s endorsent by RM was due to luck and a heroic act that caught RM’s attention.
She had used every connection and effort to secure a role in a drama directed by Tang Haiqiu, but Si Fuqing was the female lead in a drama that focused on the female lead.
Faced with such a stark disparity, ng Xue could no longer console herself.
Lin Wansu was in no better state.
The last ti she encountered Si Fuqing in Sijiu City’s film base, when the director had Si Fuqing demonstrate acting for her, Lin Wansu didn’t take it seriously.
After all, it was just a small laughable scene.
But “Crossing the Demon Realm” was different.
The female lead’s journey from a mortal to the celestial realm, then being torn and tornted in the demon realm, and her trials back in the mortal world before returning to the celestial realm, represented a trendous growth.
Growth narratives are notoriously difficult to execute, even veteran actors can’ t guarantee success.
Si Fuqing, only 18 and new to acting, how could she land such a significant lead role?!
Lin Wansu’s eyes reddened.
Had there not been so many people around, she might have already rushed forward with questions.
But she wasn’t the only one harboring such thoughts.
Many in the industry still viewed Si Fuqing rely for her beauty, often overlooking her other qualities.
Aside from ng Xue and Lin Wansu, everyone else was applauding.
“Teacher Si, we’ve finally awaited your arrival,” MO Yishan said with a smile.
“We have many scenes together, please go easy on .”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “You weren’t so rciful at the start, Teacher
MO Yishan, recalling the script, felt silent.
He regretted agreeing to play the role of the Celestial Ruler, a character he now realized was deeply flawed as a playboy.
To the point where now the mont he looked at her, his had a fear of being taphorically skewered by Si Fuqing’s sword.
Sang Yanqing also shook hands with MO Yishan, “Teacher MO, you’re too modest. Our Qingqing is still a newcor and will benefit much from your guidance.”
MO Yishan, caught off guard, hastily responded, “Not at all, it’s I who should seek advice from Teacher Si.” Sang Yanqing gave Si Fuqing a aningful look, clearly askingWhat have you done?
“I had a friendly exchange with Teacher MO during the auditions,” Si Fuqing replied calmly. “I learned a lot from him.”
Hearing this, MO Yishan broke into a cold sweat.
Tang Haiqiu, in order to save his old friend’s face, hadn’t released the footage of their confrontation scene, which was tense even for just a few seconds.
MO Yishan had to admit, so people were simply born to act.
“You want to learn from Teacher MO,” Sang Yanqing remarked, oblivious to the tension. “In terms of role importance, the Celestial Ruler is indeed a leading male character.”
But Tang Haiqiu’s dramas never focused on romance.
He valued the thes of national integrity and the growth of the underdog more.
MO Yishan didn’t speak.
Is she mocking him?
“Alright, everyone, let’s get ready,” the assistant director clapped, signaling the beginning of the ritual. “We’re about to start the ceremony and pay our respects to the gods..”
