Chapter 1298 A Bit of Fun
"Niki, you sound as if I've bullied you." Jiang Mubai looked at her with a half-smile, "I've always been a person who won't offend others unless they offend me. If you act well, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you dare to play any tricks again."
Jiang Mubai paused deliberately, his eyes instantly becoming fierce: "I promise you will regret it."
Niki was frightened by Jiang Mubai's eyes and subconsciously hid behind Qin Yuanqing.
"Okay, stop standing there and start the audition." Lin Lin looked at the scene in front of him, and he already understood in his heart that Qin Yuanqing obviously wanted to use Niki to replace Jiang Mubai, but he didn't even think about it. With Niki's acting skills, is she worthy of being compared with Jiang Mubai?
"Jiang Mubai, you go first. Let's start from page 5 of the script, the scene where the heroine is injured."
Jiang Mubai nodded, walked to the center of the room, closed his eyes, and quickly got into the state.
A tear fell from the corner of her eye. Her voice trembled, full of despair and grief: "Why...why do you treat me like this...what did I do wrong?"
Her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul, and her whole body exuded a heartbreaking sense of fragility.
Lin Lin watched Jiang Mubai's performance with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She was indeed an actress of the film queen level. Her control of emotions was simply perfect. People couldn't help but want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
Lin Lin clapped excitedly: "Good! Very good! Jiang Mubai, your performance was amazing! I'm sure you are the best choice for the heroine of this drama!"
Qin Yuanqing's face suddenly turned a little ugly. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to be so capable. It seemed that it was not so easy to replace her easily.
"Producer Lin, thank you for your praise. I still need to work harder." Jiang Mubai smiled modestly, but his eyes were full of confidence.
"Niki, you come and try it too." Lin Lin turned to look at Niki, his tone calm, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Niki took a deep breath, walked to the center of the room, and tried hard to recall the contents of the script, but for some reason, when she thought of Jiang Mubai's wonderful performance just now, she felt inexplicably nervous and her mind went blank.
“I…I…” Niki hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t get into the state.
"What's wrong with you? Can't you even remember your lines?" Qin Yuanqing's face became more and more ugly. He didn't expect Niki to be so disappointing and fail at the critical moment.
"I...I was too nervous..." Niki bit her lips aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Why are you so nervous? This is a good opportunity for you to show your ability. Perform well!" Qin Yuanqing lowered his voice, his tone full of warning.
Niki took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and tried to get into the state again, but no matter how hard she tried, Jiang Mubai's face full of confidence and sarcasm was always in her mind.
"I...I can't do it." Niki finally broke down, covering her face and ran out crying.
"Niki!" Qin Yuanqing's face turned pale. He stood up suddenly and wanted to chase Niki, but was stopped by Lin Lin.
"Boss Qin, you should worry about yourself first. I won't use an actor who can't even remember his lines for this drama." Lin Lin looked at him with a half-smile, "I won't use an actor who can't even remember his lines for this drama."
Qin Yuanqing's face was gloomy. He knew that Lin Lin was trying to intimidate him, but he had nothing to say. After all, Niki's performance was really too bad and she was not qualified for the role of the heroine at all.
"Producer Lin, don't be angry, I..."
"Mr. Qin, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lin Lin didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so she interrupted him directly and turned to leave the room.
Qin Yuanqing looked at Lin Lin's leaving back, clenched his fists tightly, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes. Jiang Mubai, just wait for me, I won't let you have it easy!
"Mr. Qin, look." The assistant asked cautiously. He knew that Qin Yuanqing had invested a lot of money this time and wanted to make Niki famous through this drama. Now that the plan had failed, he was worried that Qin Yuanqing would vent his anger on him.
Qin Yuanqing walked out of the audition room with a gloomy face, and Niki followed him crying like a frightened little bird.
"Cry, cry, just cry! It's no use!" Qin Yuanqing waved his hands impatiently, and Niki's tears suddenly fell like beads from a broken string, and she cried even harder.
The assistant observed her expression, handed her a tissue, and whispered, "Ms. Niki, Mr. Qin is doing this for your own good. This drama is a rare opportunity for you."
"Opportunity? It was all taken away by Jiang Mubai!" Niki glared at the audition room with hatred and said through gritted teeth, "It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, the leading actress' position would have been mine!
Qin Yuanqing's face became even uglier. How could he not know that it was Jiang Mubai who ruined his good deeds? However, he had to listen to Lin Lin's words. In this circle, you can offend anyone but not the director and producer.
"Alright, stop crying, what a shame!" Qin Yuanqing interrupted Niki's crying impatiently, "I have my own way to deal with Jiang Mubai, you just prepare well and try to get the role of the second female lead!"
Niki stopped crying after hearing this and asked timidly, "Mr. Qin, do you really have a way to deal with Jiang Mubai?"
Qin Yuanqing sneered, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let her have an easy time!"
He just couldn't believe that he, the eldest son of the Qin family, couldn't deal with a mere actor?
……
Jiang Mubai successfully won the leading female role in "The Fallen City" with her outstanding performance in the audition, and became the talk of the town for a while.
"Sister Mu Bai, you are so amazing! Producer Lin praised you highly and said that you are the heroine in his mind!" Xiao Ai waved the script in her hand excitedly, wishing she could start filming right away.
Jiang Mubai smiled faintly, took the script, flipped through it, and said calmly: "It's just luck."
Xiao Ai retorted dissatisfiedly: "What good luck? It's obviously strength! You don't know that Niki, the one brought by Qin Shao, has terrible acting skills. She can't even speak her lines clearly. She's worse than an extra!"
Jiang Mubai chuckled and said nothing. She knew that Niki's acting skills were not that good, otherwise she would not have been suppressed by her in her previous life.
"By the way, Sister Mu Bai, guess what? Niki's role has been replaced!" Xiao Ai suddenly said mysteriously.
"Oh? Who has it changed to?" Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows, with a playful light in his eyes.
"Ren Xueer!" Xiao Ai said word by word, her tone full of surprise and disbelief.
"Ren Xueer?" Jiang Mubai was slightly stunned, then smiled knowingly. It seemed that the good show was about to begin.
