Chapter 405:1 Want to Act as the Female Lead
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After being harmed by Qing Chuan once, An Nuo naturally learned her lesson.
She finally saw what kind of person Qing Chuan was.
“I originally thought that he had already broadened my horizons when we were
at the bar.” An Nuo even complained bitterly to Murong Qiao.
After all, she really believed in Qing Chuan before she went.
It was nighttime now. Because of An Nuo, Murong Qiao had also taken a day
off. It was rare for the two of them to rest and slack off.
Murong Qiao glanced at her. “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
No matter how good-looking a bag of rotten bones was, it was still rotten, especially someone like Qing Chuan.
“I originally planned to teach him a lesson, but in the end, when I went to class today, I heard many people say that he had dropped out of school,” An Nuo muttered.
Murong Qiao lowered her eyes, as if she was looking at the computer screen, but she knew better than An Nuo what the ending would be for Qing Chuan.
After all, that was a lesson she had taught the other party.
Since the other party ignored her warning, Murong Qiao had also posted all the things she had found out on the forum. He was a student of Hui University. The impact of such a thing being exposed was huge. The instructor immediately talked to him and made him drop out.
The exposed post was naturally thrown into the sea by the administrator of the forum, and all students were forbidden from discussing it.
Fortunately, An Nuo was not affected by this matter. At most, she scolded Qing Chuan a little and was even in the mood to stuff herself with a mouthful of cake.
Murong Qiao was naturally happy to see her like this, but seeing how she was eating without any scruples, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Aren’t you acting recently? I remember you have to manage your figure, Murong Qiao pointed out.
An Nuo ate the second piece without any burden. “My stomach is clearly very flat!”
Moreover, this cake was so small that she could take one piece at a time. The calories were not high either. At most, she would train and burn them away later.
“Then don’t suck in your stomach.” Murong Qiao exposed her.
The two of them bickered every day. After chatting for a while, they prepared to sleep. An Nuo still had a lot of work to do tomorrow.
As for Murong Qiao, she had to start doing something big recently. That was, she had to start filming the production of her third novel, “Three Thousand Realms”.
Coincidentally, the director was Liu Cheng, who had worked on “Fearless before. He was an old friend.
The casting was publicized. For the convenience of the venue, it was decided to be Murong Qiao’s CG company. She also wanted to nurture her own talents and give everyone a chance.
The casting time was set for noon. Murong Qiao was used to arriving early, but when she arrived at the venue for the casting, he realized that many people had already arrived.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so no one recognized her. Murong Qiao pushed open the door inside and met Liu Cheng s eyes.
“You’re here? The casting will begin later. These are the actors’ information.” Liu Cheng was already familiar with her and handed her a folder with a smile. After all, it was a book written by Murong Qiao. As the author, she was also a part of the screenwriting team. The casting this time was decided by her and Liu Cheng.
Murong Qiao pulled out a chair and sat beside him. “I don’t know much about the actors. If you have any recommendations, you can tell me.
As she spoke, she casually opened the folder and hurriedly glanced at most people. Her eyes occasionally lingered on them, making it impossible to tell her preferences.
“I have a recommendation for the male lead,” Liu Cheng really said.
He took out a few documents. “I think they suit your novel character. In addition, these actresses’ acting skills are not bad. I’ve worked with them before.”
Murong Qiao took a look. The male actor’s name was Zhanrong. He seemed to be a capable actor. There was nothing to say about him being calm and quiet.
Of the other two actresses, one was called Bai Yi, an artist in her company. Murong Qiao did not have much of an impression of her. The other was Shang Rou, a very famous female celebrity in the industry who had acted in many movies.
Murong Qiao stared at the information of these two people for a while. “Forget
it, we’ll know after the audition.”
She was neither a director nor an actress. It was impossible to tell from just looking at the files.
Liu Cheng didn’t say anything when he saw this. He nodded and said a few words to Murong Qiao before getting someone to come in and say that they could start the audition.
“Hello, my name is Bai Yi.” The little girl came in and greeted them first.
Murong Qiao supported her chin with one hand and studied Bai Yi s appearance, her expression unreadable.
There was no doubt that Bai Yi was very beautiful. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have entered her company. She was pure and fair, making people feel that she was innocent, soft, and clean.
just from her looks, she suited the role of the female lead very well. Murong
Qiao added one point to her in her heart.
The audition’s performance was a scene of emotions erupting. Although Bai Yi looked soft, she instantly entered a state of acting. From her eyes to the various small details of her body, she seemed to have become a different person. Even if she didn’t have a physical partner, she acted well.
Murong Qiao suddenly had an idea. “Do you know how to act out these two scenes?”
She chose the other two more difficult scenes for Bai Yi. This was also a last-minute idea.
“..Yes,” Bai Yi replied after reading it.
Bai Yi did not dawdle. After answering, she performed. Her lines were all correct. Moreover, she seemed to have gotten into character immediately. She had probably practiced a few times before.
Murong Qiao was watching very seriously, and Liu Cheng guessed something.
She felt that Bai Yi’s position as the female lead should be secure.
The audition after that was more ordinary. The male lead was Zhan Rong, who Liu Cheng thought highly of. However, when it was Shang Rou’s turn for the audition after that, it was a little different.
It was said that people were like their faces. Shang Rou was the exact opposite. Her personality was domineering and arrogant. When she walked in, she looked a little arrogant.
It was all because of her mysterious intuition. Murong Qiao didn’t like her at first glance, but she still patiently watched Shang Rou’s average performance. “The female lead will be Bai Yi.” Murong Qiao decided.
Liu Cheng agreed. “Bai Yi is quite good. When the time comes, she’ll come to the production team to polish herself. But I have some thoughts about Shang Rou.”
“Huh?” Murong Qiao looked at Liu Cheng and waited for him to continue.
Liu Cheng took another path. “I feel that she’s quite suitable for the villain supporting actress in the script. Her acting is 80% similar.”
“…That’s true.” Murong Qiao’s expression was complicated.
If Shang Rou heard that the director had such an evaluation of her as an actor, her expression would definitely be ugly.
However, after thinking along Liu Cheng’s line of thought, she felt that it was really feasible.
“Why don’t you ask her? You can choose the supporting role.” Murong Qiao happily decided to throw the matter to Liu Cheng.
She had sat here for the entire day and was about to memorize the scenes from the audition. Moreover, some of the artistes’ acting skills… were hurting her eyes.
When Shang Rou received the notice that she was not going to act as the female lead, her expression immediately changed.
“A supporting actress? And a villain?” Shang Rou was in disbelief.
She threw the script to the ground in almost disgust. “Only a fool would act in it!”
There were so many projects that wanted her for the female lead, but they actually said that she was more suitable for the supporting role? Were they blind?
“Don’t. This is the Moon Goddess’s drama!” The manager picked it up.
Fearless and Wulin Universe had been so popular previously. This time, many people had fought tooth and nail to be selected for Three Thousand Realms. Therefore, even if it was a supporting role, the manager felt that it was quite good.
If she wanted to gain fans, the popularity from being on the show would definitely not be bad.
“I can go, but I only want to play the female lead,” Shang Rou crossed her arms and requested rudely..
