Chapter 549: 258 Change of Ownership (Second Update)
Ye Zhen picked up the pen and began to fill out the form seriously.
âLan Huixin...â The staff member read out the last name on the list.
âIs Lan Huixin here?â The staff member picked up the pen, ready to cross off the name.
A good actor puts great importance on basic qualities, and punctuality is the most important.
What a pity to miss such a good opportunity, the staff member sighed in their heart.
âIâm here.â Lan Huixin hurriedly came over. âHello, Iâm Lan Huixin. Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, and it delayed me.â
The school was quite far from here. She had left at five oâclock in the morning, only to be late.
Seeing her flushed cheeks and slight sweat on her forehead, the staff member could tell she was in a rush on this cold winter morning.
The staff handed her the form and pen: âGood luck.â
Any of these girls could be the future movie queen.
Lan Huixin quickly thanked the staff member and went to the side with the pen.
Li Tingting rushed over anxiously: âWhat about me?â
The staff member looked at her suspiciously: âWhatâs your name?â
âMy name is Li Tingting, and I was introduced by Mr. Wu.â
The staff member glanced over the list again and shook their head: âIâm sorry, but your name isnât on the audition list. Unauthorized people cannot stay here, so youâd better leave as soon as possible.â The staff member turned and walked away.
Li Tingting was stunned. How could her name not be on the list? She rushed in front of the staff member and said, âThatâs impossible. Mr. Wu introduced me. How could my name not be here? You can ask Mr. Wu if you donât believe me.â
The staff member looked at her determined eyes, unsure what to do. Since there were various behind-the-scenes interests for these actresses, he decided to make a call: âPlease wait, Iâll call and ask.â
The staff member walked to the side with his phone to make a call. Li Tingting glanced at Lan Huixin, who was filling out the form with her back against the wall.
She suddenly remembered the form Lan Huixin filled out on the computer last night. She was already preparing then. Li Tingting had never seen such a scheming woman.
Wu Chao was close by and overheard the conversation. âLi Tingting? I donât know her. Tell her clearly... never mind, Iâll go out and handle it myself.â
Wu Chao saw Li Tingting and frowned. âIâm Mr. Wu. You said I introduced you here? Sorry, but I donât know you. Taking shortcuts wonât work. Please leave as soon as possible.â
Li Tingtingâs face turned pale. She knew she had been deceived, but she didnât want to admit it.
âNo... Mr. Wu, please give me a chance, please? I will perform well.â
Wu Chao frowned, waved his hand impatiently, âSecurity, take this troublemaker away.â
âMr. Wu, please give me a chance. I wonât let you down...â Li Tingting was dragged away by two security guards, each holding one of her arms.
Li Tingting saw Lan Huixinâs silhouette and shouted: âLan Huixin, donât be so smug! Just you wait!â
Lan Huixinâs hand holding the pen paused for a moment, then she continued writing without hesitation.
The others, who had witnessed the scene, were deeply moved.
The actress sobbed, âDirector Yu asked me to remove my makeup on the spot. I refused and was scolded by him. I have lost my chance completely.â
Everyone exchange glances. Her makeup was already very light, and they were all taken aback when Director Yu still scolded her. Everyone suddenly felt threatened.
Duan Xiaoxiao was touching up her makeup, and her face stiffened. She stared at her delicate makeup in the mirror, feeling annoyed.
Lan Huixin immediately took the wet wipe from Ye Zhenâs hand and began wiping her face without hesitation.
Everyone else also took out their mirrors to remove their makeup.
âWho are the judges?â someone asked the crying girl.
The girl, too straightforward for her own good, answered, âDirector Yu, Mr. Wu, and Zhou Zhengru.â
There was a collective gasp of surprise, âIs he the male lead?â
It was almost a foregone conclusion.
Who wouldnât dream of making a movie with Zhou Zhengru as the male and female leads?
The girl continued, âAnd Qu Feitai.â
There was a moment of dead silence, like the calm before the storm.
âIs he going to make a movie too? God, a film emperor and a top singer, Iâd be satisfied with just one of them on my side.â
âNo way, Qu Feitai never makes movies.â
âWho knows, this is Yu Daweiâs movie after all...â
Lan Huixin and Ye Zhen looked at Ming Jing at the same time, but Ming Jingâs eyes were half-closed, ignoring the lively discussions around him.
âThereâs also a young man, I donât know who he is, but heâs so annoying and venomous,â said the girl, her fists clenched and her face full of indignation.
This made everyone even more uncertain.
Time silently slipped away, and almost everyone came out in tears.
Gradually, no one spoke, and all were immersed in the tense atmosphere, like soldiers about to go to battle.
Duan Xiaoxiao walked out with a pale face. She didnât believe the warnings and refused to remove her makeup, but today, Yu Dawei taught her an unforgettable lesson.
Arrogance comes with a price.
âNext, Ye Zhen,â the staff read out the name.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and glanced at Ming Jing.
âDo your best,â Ming Jing said softly.
Ye Zhen nodded, subconsciously touching the Buddhist beads on her wrist before getting up and leaving.
Standing in front of the door, she closed her eyes, and the life of Liang Yanran flashed through her mind like a rapidly flipping book.
She had once been unknown, then reached her peak, only to end up in the mud. Her brief life abruptly ended on that rainy night.
All the regrets and resentments disappeared along with Liang Yanranâs death.
The door opened, and she saw the light.
