Chapter 47 - 47 Interview
47 Interview
Luo Ying went to the bathroom and touched up on her makeup.
According to her memory, Lin Su had originally fought hard for Su Ran to land this role. However, Lin Lu, who had a more powerful backer, beat him to the punch. The recording of Su Ran’s audtion was soon uploaded to the internet.
Lin Lu soon relented under the pressure of public opinion. Su Ran found her breakout stardom after this incident.
Later on, a director took a fancy to her acting skills and invited her to star in a TV drama. The female lead of that TV drama was a national idol.
Luo Ying practiced her smile in front of the mirror. She was going to overthrow the original plot..
Luo Ying’s timeslot was ahead of Su Ran’s and behind Lin Lu’s.
Luo Ying sat in the preparation area and looked at Lin Lu.
Lin Lu was a mediocre performer. She was tone-deaf when she sang, and her dancing was barely satisfactory. Although she was very beautiful, she always had a blank expression. There was no sense of identity in her movements, and she was not particularly bright either. She did not look like she had the quick wits needed for interviews and hosting.
It was no wonder that Su Ran’s fans had attacked her so thoroughly.
The music center’s producer, Zhang Yong, was sitting on the judging panel. To his left was Lin Su, to his right was a man with a big belly, and behind him was a delicate-looking woman.
That should be the legendary sugar daddy of Lin Lu.
After Lin Lu finished her performance, she bowed to the judges.
Both Lin Su and Zhang Yong frowned. The big-bellied man said to Zhang Yong, “What do you think? My recommendation to you isn’t bad, right?”
Lin Lu opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yong innocently.
Zhang Yong forced a smile. “Mr. Wu, Ms. Lin Lu is so popular. She is bound to receive have a lot of acting offers. It’s a waste of her talent to grace our stage.”
The big-bellied man laughed and said, “How so? This job is much better than filming. No, no, I think this job is a perfect fit for Lin Lu.”
The two of them went back and forth for a while before Zhang Yong called out the next person’s number.
Zhang Yong was a veteran producer, and the variety shows he produced were all big hits in the book. It was the same for the host of the music center. All his picks went on to be major stars.
He was originally very picky about the host and guest selection, but in the past few years, due to the pressure from various forces, he had grown disillusioned and no choice but to use subpar material.
Luo Ying walked to the front of the judges and smiled at them.
Lin Su found an excuse to get up and leave.
The other judges on the judging panel also turned their faces away. How did a person like Luo Ying, who couldn’t do anything, get a spot for the interview?
“Our interview will be divided into two segments. One will be a stage that is prepared in advance, and the other will be an impromptu speech. Are you ready?”
Luo Ying nodded.
She had already prepared her own song for the stage. It was a song that she had used to make a name for herself on a talent show.
She was dressed very youthfully today, and when she jumped up, her hair bounced up and down animatedly.
What was even more shocking was that she sang with no visual aids or filters.
The dance for this song was very difficult and also very physically draining. It was filled with jumping movements, but after the entire song, she wasn’t even panting, and even had the time to school her expression.
The judges and staff in the audience were all stunned. A few of them even took out their phones to record her singing and dancing.
Zhang Yong nodded. Luo Ying did have potential. She had been wasted in soulless TV shows for so many years. It was really unfair.
“I hope your company still has plans to release a solo album for you.” Zhang Yong said.
The large-bellied Wu Wei shot a venomous glare at Luo Ying.
This woman was probably Lin Lu’s biggest competitor, but why didn’t he notice that there was such a stunner in the entertainment industry? If he had the chance, he would like to try this woman out.
Luo Ying noticed Wu Wei’s eyes, but she only glanced at him indifferently.
“Alright, let’s move on to the next segment.”
The next segment also went very smoothly. Luo Ying had been a host before, so she was very familiar with the entire process and could also improvise some interesting jokes according to some situations.
Zhang Yong nodded and found it a pity. If it wasn’t for Wu Wei, Luo Ying would have been his pick.
