Chapter 73 - Imitate Me
Chapter 73: Imitate Me
The stage supervisor ignored the girl’s confrontational words and gave Qin Shuang a number plate. He let her sit outside and wait for the number to be called.
The first girl to come to the audition went in and came out very quickly. She did not even talk about the piano. After all, she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She said generously, “The assistant director said that my image is unsuitable, so there’s no need to try playing. However, I met Cen Bai!”
As soon as she said this, everyone exclaimed, “Wow, quickly, tell us about it!”
The girl smiled and said, “Cen Bai is even more handsome in real life than on TV! He is very slim and tall, and his face is especially small and exquisite. I just don’t know why his forehead is bruised.”
“Ah, what happened to Brother? Did someone hit him?”
“How can that be?! Who dared to hit Cen Bai?! Are they tired of living?”
Qin Shuang, who wanted to just die, felt a little guilty. She coughed and nervously looked at Xue Xi. “My husband won’t recognize me later, right?”
Looking at her appearance after she’d removed her makeup, Xue Xi said firmly, “I can’t even recognize you!”
Qin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.
Xue Xi then turned to look at her and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”
There were many people who were working behind the scenes when it came to filming. Since Cen Bai knew her, he would not reject her request, right?
As she thought about this, Qin Shuang shook her head. “This role is very important. It’s my husband’s first love. It must be played by someone capable!”
Most importantly, she came to the audition because she wanted to see her idol again.
Hearing her say this, Xue Xi did not insist.
The first round passed.
It was finally Xue Yao’s turn. Everyone could hear the sound of the piano from outside. When Xue Yao walked out, there was a look of pride on her face.
Seeing her like this, Li Hanlei asked, “Did you get the role?”
Xue Yao smiled and lifted her chin. “The assistant director told me to wait outside for news, but he said that I’m the best at the moment.”
Li Hanlei nodded.
Only Qin Lu and Qin Shuang remained.
Qin Lu was in front of Qin Shuang. She was called and walked into the audition room.
In the room.
The assistant director, Cen Bai, and two other staff sat there. The collar of Cen Bai’s shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his sexy collarbones. He sat there looking devilish, and the mole under his eyes was exceptionally alluring.
However, at this moment, the man’s forehead was covered in bruises. His fox-like eyes looked a little impatient. “Who are these people? They don’t have any acting skills!”
The assistant director sighed. “Among everyone, the previous one was the most photogenic, but she is missing that slimness that’s needed.”
The girl playing the piano should be skinny. Xue Yao’s face was a little round and did not fit the character design. However, she was already third from last among the auditionees. If there was no other choice, they could only let her have the part. Hence, the assistant director told her to wait outside for the results.
Just as he was thinking this, the door was pushed open and a graceful figure walked in.
The twins, Qin Lu and Qin Shuang, looked exactly the same from their appearance and figure.
When he saw Qin Lu’s face, the assistant director’s eyes lit up.
Having chosen actors for so many roles, the assistant director could tell that this was a face that was naturally suited for acting. He asked excitedly, “Do you know how to play the piano?”
Qin Lu nodded obediently. “Yes.”
There were countless people in the school who knew how to play the piano, and this role did not require any good piano skills. After all, in the later stages, there would be people who specialized in voice-overs, and the actors only needed to play the part.
Qin Lu sat in front of the piano and played a piece.
The assistant director was still a little dissatisfied. This person had a good image, but there was a difference in her temperament and character. However, this was already the best he had seen today. He nodded helplessly. “Alright, it’s you!”
Qin Lu did not expect the assistant director to make the decision on the spot. She widened her eyes in excitement and was about to speak when a lazy and evil voice sounded. “Why did you already decide? Isn’t there another person?”
Cen Bai was the one who spoke. He glanced at Qin Lu and retracted his lazy gaze. There was a sense of oppression in his voice. “You should at least respect every auditionee, right?”
The assistant director thought that this was an international school and that all the young ladies from the wealthy families were here for the audition today. Hence, he turned to Qin Lu and said, “Then you go out first. Let’s go through the formality, but this role is probably yours!”
Qin Lu nodded and was certain that it was hers.
After all, she suited the role of the unattainable flower very well! As for Qin Shuang… she did not worry about her at all. That person had been a prick since she was young and her overall aura was stronger. She was completely different from such a role!
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a staff member entered. Hence, the assistant director’s words were heard outside.
Everyone outside, who had been waiting for the news, instantly stopped speculating. However, they did not leave. After all, what if they could meet Cen Bai again?
Qin Lu walked out and saw Xue Yao glaring at her angrily.
Qin Lu’s eyes flickered and she said, “Sister Yao, I heard from the assistant director that this role needs to be played by someone who looks weaker. You’re too beautiful, so I’m more suitable than you.”
Qin Lu admitted that she was inferior to her on the spot and Xue Yao gave her face. “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether I get the part or not.”
Qin Lu smiled and walked up to Qin Shuang. “Sister, Cen Bai praised me just now. He said that my image is suitable for this role.”
Qin Shuang clenched her fists tightly and felt as though her heart was being squeezed. It was stuffy and painful.
Her… her idol… actually praised Qin Lu?
Qin Lu understood her too well and knew what her weak spot was. She smiled and said, “I know that you are Cen Bai’s fan. If you want an autograph, should I help you ask for it when I’m filming with him?”
Qin Shuang was usually sharp-tongued, but when it came to her idol, she did not dare to speak because she was afraid of hurting his reputation. At this moment, she was so angry that she could not speak. And then, an indifferent voice sounded. “No need. She will ask for it herself.”
Qin Lu paused and met Xue Xi’s dark eyes. She nodded and said, “That’s true. If my image is suitable, then so is Ah Shuang’s. It’s just that you’d have to imitate me. After all, I’m similar to this unattainable flower character. You’d have to be more gentle to suit her, but you blaze too strong~”
Qin Shuang’s face instantly turned pale.
If she wanted to take this role, she would have to imitate the Qin Lu she hated the most since she was young? How could she tolerate this?!
Qin Lu really understood her too well. Every word she said hit the nail on the head!
The stage supervisor urged, “Do you still want to audition? Stop wasting time!”
Qin Lu smiled. “Ah Shuang, if you don’t want to imitate me, why don’t you give up?”
Give up…
Qin Shuang had this thought. She could not face her idol’s disappointed gaze, but she could not imitate Qin Lu’s disgusting face.
Just as she was hesitating, Xue Xi grabbed her arm and said coldly, “Don’t imitate her.”
She spoke slowly but firmly. “Imitate me.”
