Chapter 549: 258 Change of Ownership (Second Update)
Ye Zhen picked up the pen and began to fill out the form seriously.
“Lan Huixin…” The staff mber read out the last na on the list.
“Is Lan Huixin here?” The staff mber picked up the pen, ready to cross off the na.
A good actor puts great importance on basic qualities, and punctuality is the most important.
What a pity to miss such a good opportunity, the staff mber sighed in their heart.
“I’m here.” Lan Huixin hurriedly ca over. “Hello, I’m Lan Huixin. Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, and it delayed .”
The school was quite far from here. She had left at five o’clock in the morning, only to be late.
Seeing her flushed cheeks and slight sweat on her forehead, the staff mber could tell she was in a rush on this cold winter morning.
The staff handed her the form and pen: “Good luck.”
Any of these girls could be the future movie queen.
Lan Huixin quickly thanked the staff mber and went to the side with the pen.
Li Tingting rushed over anxiously: “What about ?”
The staff mber looked at her suspiciously: “What’s your na?”
“My na is Li Tingting, and I was introduced by Mr. Wu.”
The staff mber glanced over the list again and shook their head: “I’m sorry, but your na isn’t on the audition list. Unauthorized people cannot stay here, so you’d better leave as soon as possible.” The staff mber turned and walked away.
Li Tingting was stunned. How could her na not be on the list? She rushed in front of the staff mber and said, “That’s impossible. Mr. Wu introduced . How could my na not be here? You can ask Mr. Wu if you don’t believe .”
The staff mber looked at her determined eyes, unsure what to do. Since there were various behind-the-scenes interests for these actresses, he decided to make a call: “Please wait, I’ll call and ask.”
The staff mber walked to the side with his phone to make a call. Li Tingting glanced at Lan Huixin, who was filling out the form with her back against the wall.
She suddenly rembered the form Lan Huixin filled out on the computer last night. She was already preparing then. Li Tingting had never seen such a scheming woman.
Wu Chao was close by and overheard the conversation. “Li Tingting? I don’t know her. Tell her clearly… never mind, I’ll go out and handle it myself.”
Wu Chao saw Li Tingting and frowned. “I’m Mr. Wu. You said I introduced you here? Sorry, but I don’t know you. Taking shortcuts won’t work. Please leave as soon as possible.”
Li Tingting’s face turned pale. She knew she had been deceived, but she didn’t want to admit it.
“No… Mr. Wu, please give a chance, please? I will perform well.”
Wu Chao frowned, waved his hand impatiently, “Security, take this troublemaker away.”
“Mr. Wu, please give a chance. I won’t let you down…” Li Tingting was dragged away by two security guards, each holding one of her arms.
Li Tingting saw Lan Huixin’s silhouette and shouted: “Lan Huixin, don’t be so smug! Just you wait!”
Lan Huixin’s hand holding the pen paused for a mont, then she continued writing without hesitation.
The others, who had witnessed the scene, were deeply moved.
As long as they auditioned, there was a chance to soar high today.
Wu Chao snorted, “Now anyone can impersonate and ruin my reputation. If I find out who it is, I’ll skin them alive.”
Wu Chao turned around and suddenly noticed a girl in white. Everyone else was busy filling out forms, but she just sat there quietly.
Wu Chao asked the staff mber, “Isn’t she here to audition?”
The staff mber shook their head: “Everyone on the list is here, but not her.”
Wu Chao touched his chin, not here to audition?
He approached her and asked in a gentle tone, “Miss, aren’t you here to audition?”
Ming Jing looked at Ye Zhen beside her and smiled, “I ca with my sister.”
Ye Zhen’s hand holding the pen quivered slightly.
Sister…
Wu Chao asked the staff mber for a form and handed it to Ming Jing. “Since you’re here, why not give it a try? With your appearance, it’d be a waste not to join the entertainnt industry.”
The others who had been eavesdropping instantly beca anxious again upon hearing this.
Ming Jing didn’t take the form, shaking her head: “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.”
Wu Chao shook his head, “What a pity.”
If she entered the entertainnt industry, Luo Ziyin’s title of the first beauty would be taken away.
But it seed that her ambition was elsewhere.
After all, the entertainnt circle was like a dye vat. A gentle and clean girl like her better stay out of it.Wu Chao left with his hands behind his back.
Lan Huixin finished filling out the form and finally noticed Ming Jing, her eyes widening in surprise.
Ming Jing raised his index finger to his lips and grinned, shaking his head.
Lan Huixin’s gaze fell on Ye Zhen and recognized her.
She was Ming Jing’s senior.
That night at the Huangguan Club, the impression that Ye Zhen left on her was too deep.
At this mont, the staff began to call people in for the audition, and the air instantly beca tense.
Lan Huixin walked over to Ming Jing and said sincerely, “Ming Jing, thank you for giving this opportunity. I will definitely perform well.”
Ye Zhen glanced at her, took a wet wipe from her bag, and handed it to her: “Wipe off your eyebrows and lipstick.”
Lan Huixin was stunned.
Li Tingting only saw the freckles on her face and thought she was bare-faced. She had drawn her eyebrows and used light-colored lipstick to enhance her complexion, which she didn’t expect would be found out.
“Director Yu is a master of aesthetics, and an important criterion for selecting actors is naturalness. You can be less strikingly beautiful, but you must be natural. Any trace of refinent destroys the beauty,” Ye Zhen explained.
As if to corroborate Ye Zhen’s words, the door opened and a female actress ran out in tears.
Soone stopped her and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
The actress sobbed, “Director Yu asked to remove my makeup on the spot. I refused and was scolded by him. I have lost my chance completely.”
Everyone exchange glances. Her makeup was already very light, and they were all taken aback when Director Yu still scolded her. Everyone suddenly felt threatened.
Duan Xiaoxiao was touching up her makeup, and her face stiffened. She stared at her delicate makeup in the mirror, feeling annoyed.
Lan Huixin imdiately took the wet wipe from Ye Zhen’s hand and began wiping her face without hesitation.
Everyone else also took out their mirrors to remove their makeup.
“Who are the judges?” soone asked the crying girl.
The girl, too straightforward for her own good, answered, “Director Yu, Mr. Wu, and Zhou Zhengru.”
There was a collective gasp of surprise, “Is he the male lead?”
It was almost a foregone conclusion.
Who wouldn’t dream of making a movie with Zhou Zhengru as the male and female leads?
The girl continued, “And Qu Feitai.”
There was a mont of dead silence, like the calm before the storm.
“Is he going to make a movie too? God, a film emperor and a top singer, I’d be satisfied with just one of them on my side.”
“No way, Qu Feitai never makes movies.”
“Who knows, this is Yu Dawei’s movie after all…”
Lan Huixin and Ye Zhen looked at Ming Jing at the sa ti, but Ming Jing’s eyes were half-closed, ignoring the lively discussions around him.
“There’s also a young man, I don’t know who he is, but he’s so annoying and venomous,” said the girl, her fists clenched and her face full of indignation.
This made everyone even more uncertain.
Ti silently slipped away, and almost everyone ca out in tears.
Gradually, no one spoke, and all were imrsed in the tense atmosphere, like soldiers about to go to battle.
Duan Xiaoxiao walked out with a pale face. She didn’t believe the warnings and refused to remove her makeup, but today, Yu Dawei taught her an unforgettable lesson.
Arrogance cos with a price.
“Next, Ye Zhen,” the staff read out the na.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and glanced at Ming Jing.
“Do your best,” Ming Jing said softly.
Ye Zhen nodded, subconsciously touching the Buddhist beads on her wrist before getting up and leaving.
Standing in front of the door, she closed her eyes, and the life of Liang Yanran flashed through her mind like a rapidly flipping book.
She had once been unknown, then reached her peak, only to end up in the mud. Her brief life abruptly ended on that rainy night.
All the regrets and resentnts disappeared along with Liang Yanran’s death.
The door opened, and she saw the light.
