She swallowed her saliva and dismissed the idea.

No matter what, I’ll deal with it when the time comes.

She might have misheard!

After finishing her breakfast, Gu Wan’an went to Shengshi Entertainment.

Director Zhang Che was already in the office.

She knocked lightly on the door and walked in.

“You’re here.” Zhang Che smiled. “Please have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

“Have you read the script?”

Gu Wan’an nodded.

Zhang Che said, “Tell me about your thoughts and comments on this drama.”

Gu Wan’an:”…”

Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?

What kind of evaluation did a drama like this need?

She racked her brain to think of something polite to say. “Novel, different, and unique.”

Zhang Che raised his eyebrows. “You really are different, and you agree with me!”

Gu Wan’an coughed lightly, secretly spitting.

There was really something wrong with his eyes. Couldn’t he tell she was making it up?

Zhang Che poured her some tea and handed it to her, full of enthusiasm. “What do you think is the likelihood of this drama becoming a hit?”

Gu Wan’an scratched her head. “Forty, Fifty %.”

Zhang Che frowned. “This low?”

Gu Wan’an pursed her lips and smiled dryly. “Better to be humble and low-key.”

“That’s right. You’ll be the female lead. It’s the audition for the male lead in a while, you come too.”

“Good.”

The audition for the male lead was at two o’clock in the afternoon.

When they passed by the corridor, Gu Wan’an took a glance. There were about 40 actors.

However, they were all newbies and she had never heard of any of them.

“The production team has limited funds, so they can only lower the actors ‘salaries. The second-rate and third-rate actors won’t like this drama either. They will definitely do a lousy job if they think it’s too bad.” Zhang Che explained.

Gu Wan’an:”…”

What an honest director!

To be honest, she was losing confidence in this drama.

Next, the audition began.

The requirements were very simple. Appearance, height, personality, acting skills, none of them could be missing.

With forty male actors, the auditions took a whole afternoon.

Zhang Che stretched lazily. “Anyone you like?”

Gu Wan’an thought carefully, “There’s Gu Shijia. 1 think his acting skills are pretty good.”

Zhang Che nodded. “I’ll think about it again. If it’s confirmed, I’ll call you.”

“Alright.”

Before Gu Wan’an could leave Shengshi Entertainment’s building, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID.

Zhang Qigang.

She picked it up with a puzzled face; “Hello, Director Zhang.”

“Have you heard of ‘The Legend of Concubine Qin’?” Zhang Qigang was still on set, his voice muffled by the noise around.

“Yes, why?”

“The director and 1 know each other. I’ve recommended you. There’s an audition tomorrow morning at Emperor Entertainment. Eight o’clock. Don’t be late.”

Gu Wan’an was stunned.

Then, she said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to participate. I’ve just decided to sign a contract for an online drama, and I can’t fit it into my schedule.” “What nonsense are you talking about? Wake up! This is Xu Anhua’s drama. There are so many people who want to squeeze in. Also, do you think you can get selected just by going to the audition? Dream on!”

“I’ve already reported your name. It’s eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Don’t be late!”

Gu Wan’an:”…”

When she returned to the Gong residence, she called Qin Dan and told her about Zhang Qigang’s audition for ‘The Legend of Concubine Qin’.

“It’s a good thing. It seems that he values you very much. This means that your acting skills have conquered him.”

“Which role should I audition for?”

“It mainly depends on what you like and are good at.”

“Okay, then I’ll study the script later and think about it.”

“Sure, but don’t have high hopes.”

Gu Wan’an:”????”
