Chapter 710: Chapter 709: Not to Be Underestimated_1 Chapter 710: Chapter 709: Not to Be Underestimated_1 Xie Yurou felt there was something off about the surrounding environment, a glance was enough to involuntarily tighten her grip on her fingers.
She’d been acting in television dramas for at least five or six years. Qiao Xiaren’s experience was certainly not as rich as hers, yet she wanted to break into the film industry so quickly?
She was in such a hurry that she wasn’t even afraid of a catastrophic failure!
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange. Chen Lanjun and Qiao Xiaren appeared oblivious to it, chatting casually and comfortably.
“Come, Xiaren, sit here.”
It was really unheard of for two competitors to shake hands and sit together happily.
Shen Ruyin and Xie Yurou both looked uncomfortable, although they didn’t rip each other’s faces when they first arrived, they did have a sharp exchange of words.
“Ms. Chen, Miss Qiao.” The scriptwriter personally came to greet them, shaking hands, “Welcome to the audition. The director and team are setting up the audition hall. We believe it will be ready within five minutes.”
Qiao Xiaren shook hands, smiled politely: “So kind of you.”
This audition seemed more formal than before. Several professionals, and other experienced directors from Huayi personally supervised to ensure no favoritism.
One of the reasons why Chen Hong insisted on rejecting Qiao Xiaren’s version of Di Ge is because she would be completely out of her depth among these big names; she couldn’t just decide which role Qiao Xiaren would play.
Moreover, she genuinely did not think that Qiao Xiaren could handle the role of Di Ge.
The character transitions from a well-bred young lady to an empress, and then to a queen. The psychological age and appearance of the character drastically changes during this process.
Generally, only experienced individuals can handle such characters, unless she was extraordinarily talented, she wouldn’t be able to master the role of Di Ge.
Xie Yurou thought that Qiao Xiaren would at least try to build some rapport, but to her surprise, Xiaren completely disregarded her and only occasionally conversed with Chen Lanjun sitting beside her.
The audiences consisted of personnel from Huayi and auditioning actors. Their gazes alternately shifted between the three women.
Aside from Chen Lanjun, the other three were all big names in the TV industry. Shen Ruyin and Xie Yurou had considerable experience in TV, but Qiao Xiaren…
They heard rumors that Qiao Xiaren rejected the role of ‘Concubine Liang’ and set her sights on the lead role, Di Ge.
It was said that the scriptwriters and directors did not consider her suitable for the role, yet Qiao Xiaren stubbornly insisted.
Wasn’t she in a hurry to break into the film industry? She hadn’t appeared in any films after “Who Rules the World”.
She suddenly decided to star in a Huayi blockbuster and arrogantly claimed the lead role, Di Ge.
Despite the flooding glances from her surroundings, Qiao Xiaren’s demeanor remained calm as she glanced at the audition card handed to her by a staff member.
“Miss Qiao, you’re next up. Ready to go in as soon as the person before you leaves.”
Qiao Xiaren acknowledged it, glanced at the audition list, and was surprised to see the important roles listed. Jiang Kai, the chief director of “City of Paintings”, and the art director and movie producer of Huayi Company were all present to evaluate the auditioning actors.
That took her by surprise.
Qiao Xiaren suddenly realized that this audition was not to be underestimated.
