Chapter 383: Chapter 383 - 383: The Choice of Female Lead! Impressive Acting (1)

Translator: _Min

Does she think she could compare to Meng Xue?

Feng Peizhi clenched her bag tightly, her voice cold and cutting, “Hurry up and come back with me. Stop embarrassing yourself here.”

“Whose dog cage was left unattended, letting you out?” Si Fuqing turned back, feigning realization, “Oh, sorry, I shouldn’t insult dogs.”

Little Bai poked his fluffy head out of the bag, snorting disdainfully.

How could it be compared with her?

Feng Peizhi’s face flushed with anger, “Si Fuqing! You, you…”

The commotion attracted the attention of other artists and agents nearby, who watched with varying expressions.

Thanks to “Survival 66 Days,” a survival reality show heavily promoted by the Great Xia TV, Si Fuqing’s fame had significantly risen.

The public knew of her as the divine beauty.

Yet, no artist saw her as a competitor for today’s role.

This was acting, not a stage performance for popular idols.

“I said, go back now!” Feng Peizhi shouted angrily, “I haven’t even settled with you over ‘Youth With You’ and ‘Survival 66 Days,’ and you still want to act in TV dramas? You—”

Her words were cut short as a slap landed on her face.

Feng Peizhi’s ears buzzed, stunned by the impact.

Si Fuqing stretched lazily, shaking her hand, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”

Meng Xue, completely unexpected of Si Fuqing’s action, furrowed her brows, “Si Fuqing, that’s too much. Weren’t you the one who I always ran around for overseas? How could you do this?”

Si Fuqing didn’t even glance at her, shouldering her bag and walking away, “Stay away from me, less bothersome.”

Feng Peizhi, infuriated but unable to retaliate, stood helplessly.

“Sister Feng, don’t stoop to her level,” Meng Xue said, pressing her lips together, “The group is disbanding soon anyvvay. I won’t have to look after her anymore.”

“That’s right,” Feng Peizhi said, trying to calm her anger, “Once the group is over, I’ll make the company freeze her career. Don’t worry, Meng Meng. We’ll use her as your foil and drain whatever value she has left.”

Meng Xue just smiled, saying nothing.

She looked up nonchalantly, her red lips curving into a smile, only to see Si Fuqing heading to the left.

“Sister Meng, she’s not really here for the audition, is she?” Meng Xue’s heart skipped a beat.

While it was an open casting, but still a recommendation was needed. Tang Haiqiu was only responsible for interviewing the female lead, as well as the second and third female leads.

The rest were handled by the assistant director.

But the direction Si Fuqing headed was clearly where Tang Haiqiu was conducting his auditions.

“Her?” Feng Peizhi laughed dismissively, “Does she even have acting skills? Even if she really came to audition, would the director be so blind as to choose her?”

Meng Xue felt reassured by this.

Si Fuqing might handle variety shows, but TV dramas required real acting skills. Without formal training or a company-hired professional teacher, like the case for Meng Xue, how could she pass the audition?

Feng Peizhi glanced at the time, ‘Meng Xue, go in. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Meng Xue, wearing sunglasses, headed to the audition for the fifth female role.

There were over a hundred artists auditioning for the same role.

Even Meng Xue felt a bit anxious.

But with Tianle Media backing her, she wasn’t worried about losing the role to someone else.

Meng Xue exhaled in relief and started browsing the news on her phone.

“Crossing the Demon Realm,” the drama, had already released information about its main and important supporting characters online.

The focus of discussion was the lead female role.

Xianxia dramas were already rare, and ones with a female lead even rarer.

Most dramas revolved around male achievements, while those centered on females were inevitably about romance and domestic trivialities.

Tang Haiqiu, however, was breaking new ground, and his casting choices had already garnered much anticipation online.

[It’s not that current xianxia dramas are uninteresting, but xianxia itself is dying. In the past, it was all about grand ideals and righteousness. Now, it’s all about love causing upheavals in the three realms, losing brains over romance.]

[Tang Haiqiu wouldn’t make such shallow dramas. A lead female drama without romantic plots, I’m really looking forward to it.]

[Gu Zhinan is actually auditioning! She once played an empress and can definitely carry the lead role!]

[Wow, really? If Gu Zhinan is the lead, this drama is bound to be a hit!]

There was also an online poll, “Who is your most anticipated Sui Yan?” and Gu Zhinan was leading by a large margin.

Tang Haiqiu had just finished Gu Zhinan’s audition. He tapped the script, his brow furrowed, remaining silent..
