Chapter 174: Audition Crisis
Subsequently, Li Sha’s assistant walked over as well. “Miss Qiao, this is the audition venue. You shouldn’t be here. Don’t even think about snatching the role from Li Sha!”
Qiao Xi sneered. “You’re auditioning for Shen Li?”
Her favorite character in the script is Shen Li. She was a woman with a tragic fate. After many betrayals and getting abandoned several times, she eventually turned evil. The character was full of emotions and also a dark horse in the drama.
She only agreed with Zhou Guanjin to come to the audition because she wanted to choose a good actress to play this role.
However, Li Sha said that the character was definitely hers?
Li Sha was smug. “Qiao Xi, I have a backer, so Shen Li is definitely mine! Don’t even think about competing with me! If you don’t leave, I’ll get someone to chase you out!”
Subsequently, Li Sha’s assistant looked displeased. “Miss Qiao, if you don’t leave now, don’t blame us for falling out with you! If this gets on the news, you’ll be the one losing your reputation!”
With a wave of her hand, several bodyguards rushed up and surrounded Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi laughed lightly. “Li Sha, are you sure you want to go against me?”
After she finished speaking, Qiao Xi directly walked past everyone and left.
Li Sha cursed. Her agent and assistant hurried to reassure her.
“Why does Qiao Xi think she can be arrogant? Does she have a backing? Even if she does, she can’t be more powerful than President Liu!”
After taking a few deep breaths, Li Sha said in a low voice, “Although the Gu family is an investor, President Liu has invested 50 million. He has the right to decide on a supporting role. In order to get his investment, the director will definitely give this role to me!”
…
Qiao Xi walked around and entered the audition venue.
The director had never seen Qiao Xi before and knew that she was Zhou Guanjin’s woman. He glanced at her but didn’t say anything.
After looking at a few actresses who were auditioning for Shen Li’s role, they were all not suitable. Qiao Xi scanned through the list of names and couldn’t help but smile.
Li Sha’s name was written on it.
At this moment, when Li Sha heard her manager call her, she hurriedly took a deep breath and walked into the audition venue. When she saw Qiao Xi, the smile on her face instantly vanished.
Why was Qiao Xi here?
She actually got to know the director before she did? Damn it!
Before the director could say anything, Li Sha was furious and scolded, “Qiao Xi! How the hell did you get in? Director! You promised to give me the role of Shen Li. Why is that b*tch by your side? What tricks did she play?”
Qiao Xi remained silent. The director and the other crew members took a deep breath before saying, “Stop talking. Li Sha, hurry up and audition!”
The manager quickly tried to calm Li Sha down. She finally calmed down and auditioned messily.
“The role of Shen Li must be mine. Don’t blame me for being heartless if anyone tries to compete with me!”
The director and staff: “…”
The director lowered his voice. “What the hell? And you call yourself an actress?”
The assistant director was helpless. “President Liu invested 50 million. If we don’t let Li Sha act as Shen Li, then don’t think about getting the 50 million. We’re put in a difficult spot!”
The director thought about it for a while. “Let’s decide on Li Sha for the role of Shen Li. If she can’t act, we can use a substitute and try to change it.”
The assistant director nodded. It was just a villain role. It didn’t matter who acted in it. The key was to get the 50 million.
Seeing that the director and staff were discussing, Li Sha went up to them and said, “Director, President Liu said that he’ll treat you to dinner tonight. When the time comes, the 50 million will be transferred directly to your account.
“President Liu has already called me. He also said that if Qiao Xi participates in this movie, he will immediately withdraw his investment,” the director said.
Lisa covered her mouth and laughed. “President Liu really dotes on me. I’m not such a petty person. When the time comes, let Qiao Xi act as my subordinate.”
Ten minutes later, the director announced, “The role of Shen Li will be given to Li Sha.”
“Wait!”
Qiao Xi suddenly spoke as she looked coldly at everyone.
“Shen Li’s character is complicated. Love and hate are intertwined. The actress needs a mature actor to convey it. Everyone has seen Li Sha’s performance just now. There were no fluctuations in emotions. She can’t even remember her lines. It really doesn’t match the Shen Li in my memory at all. I don’t think she’s good enough for the role of Shen Li. Change it!”
The huge audition venue instantly fell silent.
Li Sha was stunned for a moment before she cursed, “Shut the f*ck up! Who the hell are you? The director has already agreed to let me act as Shen Li. What right do you have to object? Do you have the right?”
The assistant director cleared his throat. “Miss Qiao, we’ve already decided on Shen Li’s role. Don’t get involved. Take a step back.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm. “I can’t step back. She can’t act as Shen Li!”
Li Sha’s anger flared, and she slammed the script onto the floor.
“Qiao Xi! If you have the ability, why don’t you find a man to invest in your film? If you can’t, then shut up! President Liu likes me the most. He’s going to invest 50 million for my role! Who do you think you are?!”
