Jiang Zhi’s expression did not change as she said calmly, “So what if you’re a newbie? Gold will shine wherever it goes.”

Bai Man secretly pursed her lips, her eyes revealing disdain and arrogance.

A newbie was this adamant on snatching the female lead from her?!

1

She was overestimating herself!

Raising her chin, she glanced at Yu Wan scornfully and took the lead in the audition.

Facing the camera, she screamed at the top of her lungs and cried. Her lines and body movements were extremely exaggerated, trying to create a tragic and miserable atmosphere in the script.

However, she overdid it, and instead, people found it weird and exaggerated.

Before she could finish acting, the director interrupted impatiently, “Next!”

A trace of unwillingness flashed past Bai Man’s eyes as she walked to the side indignantly..

Seeing that Yu Wan was about to go on stage, she said sourly, “You only have to rush up and embarrass yourself.”

Jiang Zhi only smiled faintly and did not refute.

She was very confident in Yu Wan. After all, in her previous life, Yu Wan was extremely famous.

Yu Wan went on stage without crying or making a scene. She first knelt down and leaned against the straw mat that was wrapped around her “Father”‘s corpse.

The director raised his eyebrows slightly and sat up straight.

Yu Wan lowered her eyes. At that moment, she seemed to have really become an orphan who had lost her parents. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and deathly stillness.

Someone walked past.

She timidly raised her head and a trace of struggle flashed across her face. However, when she swept her gaze across her father’s corpse, she hesitantly tugged at the corner of the other party’s clothes. Her voice was like a mosquito.

“Young master, buy… buy a maidservant? I’m very cheap.”

That person flung her away in disgust. “Scram! Cry your eyes out, Bad Luck!”

As she fell, her self-esteem shattered inch by inch, as if tears were about to flow down her face.

But she did not cry.

She still had many things to do.

Another person walked past.

She wiped her tears with great force, knelt down again, and tried hard to put on a smiling face. “Miss, do you want to buy a maidservant? It’s only 500 dollars.”

She smiled ingratiatingly.

Her father was dead, but she had to smile. Only then would someone be willing to buy her and not complain about her bitter face.

She was smiling, but her eyes were as sad as death.

The venue was silent.

Director Zheng looked at Yu Wan on the stage, and a flash of light flashed across his eyes.

This girl… was really too pure…

Her performance was immersive and did not have the rigidly drilled skills of those academics. Every action and expression was a simple expression of emotion…

“Yu Wan, right? You’re it.”

Director Zheng immediately patted the table and left Yu Wan’s information behind. The rest of the people dispersed.

The others widened their eyes in surprise.

How was this possible!

Director Zheng actually selected a newcomer?!

Yu Wan, who had passed the audition, was still immersed in her emotions in front of everyone. She was in a daze.

Jiang Zhi went up and helped her down. She curled her lips slightly and looked at the resentful Bai Man at the side.

“It seems that the director is not shunning new actors, but the lack of ability? Without ability, no matter how old you are, you are just an old cameo.”

Bai Man’s face turned green.

She wanted to get angry, but with so many people watching, it was extremely embarrassing. She could only leave the set dejectedly.

..

When Yan Zhang learned that his own people had failed to get selected for ‘Beacon’, he frowned.

“You didn’t say anything to Director Zheng. Did I send him over?”

The smile on his assistant’s face became even more awkward as he whispered, “I did.”

Yan Zhang’s face instantly turned ashen.

It was said that the director of this movie was difficult to deal with, but Yan Zhang didn’t believe it before.

There was no such thing as sticking to one’s roots and strictly abiding by professional rules. It was just that the money hadn’t been spent properly.

However, this was the first time he had kicked an iron plate.

Yan Zhang felt greatly humiliated.

However, he had long set his sights on the role of the third female lead. He had also informed her beforehand that most entertainment companies would avoid that role during the interview.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Whose artiste got this role?”

The assistant lowered his head and wished that he could immediately disappear from the spot. “It’s… It’s madam…”

Yan Zhang did not react for a moment. “What did you say?”

The assistant looked even more troubled and said softly, “It’s Miss Jiang Zhi’s.”

“Jiang Zhi?!”

Yan Zhang’s voice rose by half an octave and his eyes were filled with disbelief. “She brought an artiste along?”
