Chapter 132 A rare opportunity, not to be missed.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know once you take it out for a spin.
The assistant director understood what Director Liu meant; they were planning to wait for Jiang Xinghe.
He braced himself with his hands behind his back: "No problem, we are indeed going to stay a little late today anyway, I'm looking forward to a big meal!"
Director Liu: "..."
Damn it, what's the point of constantly reminding him? Are you afraid he'll forget?
Assistant Director: To be honest, I was indeed a tiny bit scared...
Time passed second by second amidst Lu Yining's comments.
[Oh my! It's finally Lu Yanke's turn! Lu Yanke is going to play the female lead! Now that Huang Qingyu isn't here for comparison, I feel Director Liu will still choose Lu Yanke as the female lead in this drama.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, if Director Liu had chosen Lu Yanke as the female lead, then this drama would be hard to predict.]
Lu Yan is the female protagonist of this world; she has a halo around her, but she also has a lot of scandals. Once her scandals are exposed, her halo will weaken, inevitably triggering a series of side effects.
Although she is not yet clear about the specific side effects, it will definitely affect the drama they are currently filming.
Director Liu: "..."
Thank you. His heart isn't blind. He knew what kind of person Lu Yanke was from the wilderness survival show. Later, he overheard Lu Yining's thoughts and roughly knew what Lu Yanke had done.
He would not let Lu Yanke play the female lead in this drama unless absolutely necessary.
Lu Yining didn't know what had happened to Lu Yan inside, but she knew that Lu Yan went in smiling and came out crying. Her red eyes made it clear to anyone with eyes that she had been scolded by Director Liu.
There were still some people queuing outside the audition venue. Seeing that Lu Yanke had come out crying, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. If Lu Yanke was being scolded as a result, wouldn't it mean that they, the extras, would only face certain death if they went in?
Instantly, many people felt a sense of hesitation.
As they passed each other, Lu Yan glared angrily at Lu Yining, her eyes seeming to ask, "Fine, are you satisfied now?"
Lu Yining smiled slightly, satisfied. Of course she was satisfied; seeing Lu Yanke get the short end of the stick made her happy.
After the audition, someone passed by Lu Yining and glanced at her with a puzzled look, wondering what she was still doing there. But seeing that she kept looking out the window, the person paused for a moment and then didn't ask her the question.
After everyone had left, Lu Yining strode into the audition room, grabbed a chair, sat down in front of the three men, and looked at Director Liu without any politeness: "Have you ordered milk tea?"
Director Liu felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "I've ordered it all... You'll be able to eat it soon, so don't ask anymore!"
I'm so annoyed.
Have you ordered everything?
Lu Yining noticed the key point.
Her eyes sparkled, her pupils suddenly becoming much brighter: "Besides milk tea, what else?"
Lu Yunjie smiled and listed the items for her one by one, then added, "Our Director Liu has really gone to great lengths today."
Director Liu is so generous!
Lu Yunjie glanced at Director Liu; he was only being generous today, he was usually very stingy...
Half an hour later...
The four of them sat at the table, each taking a sip of milk tea and a bite of barbecue, their mouths greasy and their hearts filled with joy.
Just as the group was enjoying their meal, a man limped in. Upon seeing Director Liu, his eyes lit up with joy. "Great! Director Liu is still here!"
But after his eyes swept around the set, they dimmed a little. There was no one there, either inside or outside the set, and Director Liu and the others were still sitting on the stage eating, so the audition must have ended.
Director Liu is always very principled; once something is over, it's over, and no more auditions are allowed. Besides, he was late today, and Director Liu dislikes people who don't follow principles, have no sense of time, and are always late.
But he was unwilling to accept it!
He wanted to try again!
Because someone suddenly barged in, the people who were happily eating on the stage all turned to look at the person standing blankly at the door.
He stood there like a wooden pillar, not moving an inch, his waist slightly bent, one foot lightly touching the ground, while the other foot remained perfectly still.
[Oh! It's Jiang Xinghe! Jiang Xinghe is here!]
Lu Yining took a bite of pizza, then sipped her milk tea, and looked at Jiang Xinghe with interest.
Seeing the man standing dumbfounded at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, Director Liu finally spoke up: "You're here to audition?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghe seemed to wake up from a dream and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Director Liu, I came here to audition. I should have arrived earlier, but there were some minor issues on the way, so I'm sorry for the delay."
Director Liu nodded, without scolding him, and said calmly, "Okay, then you can get ready first. Just let me know when you're ready to start."
"what?"
Jiang Xinghe suddenly looked at Director Liu, "That's it?"
Should we not scold him?
Aren't you going to say anything else?
Why don't you kick him out?
So smooth?
Jiang Xinghe was prepared to be scolded by Director Liu, and he had figured out how to fight for the role he wanted. But no matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that Director Liu would say those words to him so calmly.
But he was only stunned for a moment. After that, an overwhelming joy flooded his body. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Director Liu, I'll start preparing now."
This is a rare opportunity, and we cannot afford to miss it.
Jiang Xinghe walked to the table, picked up the script, selected a scene, and began to read the lines.
After a while, Jiang Xinghe put down the script and said, "Director Liu, I'm ready, but I need someone to help me."
Director Liu: "Which scene are you going to act in?"
Jiang Xinghe answered truthfully: "It was the scene where he was intimate with the second female lead, Shen Zhuxin, in the forest, which provoked the second male lead."
"Oh." Then Director Liu waved to Lu Yining: "Put the pizza down and go over there."
Lu Yining, who was enjoying her meal, said: "..."
She took a big gulp of milk tea, grabbed a tissue, wiped her hands, and then stood up to walk off the stage. But halfway there, she stopped, giving the three people still eating on the stage a warning look.
"Don't eat it all, okay? I hope there will still be food waiting for me when I get back."
The assistant director shook his head: "It's hard to say."
Director Liu chimed in, "It's really hard to say."
He spent so much money, shouldn't he eat more to get his money's worth?
Lu Yining glared at Director Liu and the assistant director through gritted teeth, then turned her gaze to Lu Yunjie. Lu Yunjie instantly understood, quickly picking out a bunch of food and placing it within his safe range.
Only then did he slowly take a slice of durian pizza and take a leisurely bite.
