Jiang Li ignored her. Instead, she turned to the disappointed director and said, “Since Lu Ling isn’t willing to work with us, then we’ll have an audition for the female lead.”
Jiang Li said that calmly, and a glint seemed to flash across her eyes.
The director trusted Jiang Li and did not refute her.
“That’s right. There will definitely be a few good seedlings during the audition. It won’t be too late for us to wait and see when the time comes.”
Just like that, the two of them held an audition for the female lead.
However, since the director was like cancer to the box office, and the film crew did not have much popularity, there were very few people who came to the venue to compete.
Jiang Li’s gaze swept across the surroundings.
They were all unfamiliar faces. Other than some unpopular celebrities, there were also young girls who had just graduated from university.
However, Jiang Li was not that picky about these people. In her eyes, as long as her acting skills were good, that was enough.
A person who was originally staying in the corner clenched her fists tightly when she saw Jiang Li’s appearance. She stepped forward to block Jiang Li’s advance, and her tone was a little arrogant.
“You are also here to compete for the female lead? I advise you not to waste any more effort. The female lead will definitely be mine! A person like you should go back to where you came from!”
She gritted her teeth in her heart. ‘This woman was so good-looking and has a cold aura about her. She’s definitely here to compete for the female lead!’
‘Forget about the others who had just graduated. They definitely wouldn’t be able to compete on their own, but this woman…’
The little celebrity’s tone was even sharper.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?! If you know how powerful I am, you should get out of this production as soon as possible. Otherwise, when I become the female lead and become popular, you won’t be able to find a place to cry!”
When Jiang Li heard her words, her expression was indifferent, and she even yawned lazily.
When the light landed on her face, her facial features became more exquisite, and her movements became more casual.
“You can do whatever you want. Anyway, a person like you won’t be able to do much.”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she lifted her feet and left. This kind of despicable person was not worth her effort.
The little celebrity stared at Jiang Li’s departing figure and said fiercely, “Heh, don’t act so aloof now… When you lose the selection, you will have to cry!”
The little celebrity still had Jiang Li’s arrogant attitude in her mind, and she had made up her mind to fight for the female lead.
Even the time she waited was spent carefully studying the script and thinking about the female lead’s attitude, again and again, just to step on Jiang Li.
However, when she walked onto the stage confidently and was about to introduce herself, she saw Jiang Li sitting steadily on the judging panel.
When the female star received Jiang Li’s gaze, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
‘This woman… Why is this woman in the judging panel!?’
‘She was actually a judge!?’
When the little celebrity saw Jiang Li, she started to stutter, “Hi… Everyone, I… I’m here to… run for the female lead this time… I… I want everyone to give me a chance…”
When he heard what she said, the director frowned.
“I originally thought that she was the most competitive one among these people. I didn’t expect that she couldn’t even maintain her poise in front of everyone.”
Jiang Li saw that the director was discussing with her and nodded. She evaluated objectively, “Indeed. She doesn’t have the psychological qualities that an actress should have. She’s indeed not good enough.”
The conversation between the two entered the little celebrity’s ears, and her gaze became even more vicious.
Jiang Li was constantly staring at her, so she always forgot her lines during the performance, and even her expression became a lot stiffer.
Jiang Li saw that she had finished this round and said in a low voice, “Your ability is not good enough.”
When this kind of completely objective evaluation fell into the ears of the celebrity, it was like naked sarcasm. When she learned that the production crew had given the position of the female lead to a recently graduated acting student, she felt even more unsatisfied.
She returned to her place in a huff. Seeing that the sponsor was waiting for her, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, acting coquettishly.
“Dear, I’ve been bullied. Someone in the film crew has a prejudice against me, so they let me lose the election…”
When she said this, the sponsor’s heart immediately ached. “Good baby, I’ll stand up for you.”
With that, he made a phone call impolitely. “Director? Give this movie to the star who failed to get it, or I’ll make sure your show doesn’t get broadcast!”
