Chapter 711: Chapter 710 Audition_1 Chapter 711: Chapter 710 Audition_1 Within less than two minutes, the person auditioning was already out.
To Qiao Xiaren’s surprise, the star standing before her was none other than the A-list actor, Qin Su.
“It’s Qin Su! I can’t believe he’s also auditioning.” Someone whispered nearby in a tone mixed with surprise and excitement.
Qin Su was known as a committed method actor in the film industry, with a ruggedly handsome appearance, and he had starred in many critically acclaimed and commercially successful films.
His manager was renowned for having an astute eye, picking roles that invariably ended up making waves in the industry.
The fact that he was pushing his client for a role in Picture City showed his immense confidence in the movie.
Qiao Xiaren’s faith in the quality of Picture City grew stronger. The worst thing for an actor is to find themselves stuck with a lousy role or a flop movie.
As Qiao Xiaren gets up to enter, she brushes past Qin Su. They exchange glances, both of their eyes holding a subtle yet warm smile, though unfamiliar.
Qiao Xiaren looks at the audition script in her hand, her brow furrows without thinking.
The lines given were clearly those of the Princess Consort.
So, the crew really did plan for her to audition for the Princess Consort.
In the minutes leading up to her entrance, Qiao Xiaren read the three lines of the script rapidly, carefully pondering the psychology of the character.
The Princess Consort was a decent role indeed, but Qiao Xiaren couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing, while the role as the Empress seemed more challenging indeed.
Why not fight for it?
If they didn’t see her true capabilities, and she missed the chance to be the Empress because of it, that would truly be a pity.
With this thought in mind, Qiao Xiaren resolved on the spot to put away the Princess Consort’s lines.
“Miss Qiao, why aren’t you going in? Are you not satisfied with your role?” Xie Yurou’s voice came from behind, her tone leisurely.
Qiao Xiaren turned to look at Xie Yurou, her clear eyes filled with a cold glint. She gave her an indifferent and emotionless sweep before turning her head away.
She could not stand it when someone buzzed around her ears like a fly.
Despite her many years in the industry, Xie Yurou was taken aback by this glare. It was chilling, inducing a sense of shock and fear.
Without bothering to engage her in conversation, Qiao Xiaren turned her head directly. Xie Yurou lingered on her straight back, before she finally snapped out of her daze, astonished that she was intimidated by the gaze of a junior.
As she stepped in, she thought that stare was unlike a young girl’s.
Upon entering, Qiao Xiaren saw that several men were seated at a long table, murmuring to each other.
“Hello, director. Hello everyone,” Qiao Xiaren greeted, prompting the director to brighten at the sight of her radiant beauty.
Her elegant figure brought a dazzling presence to the audition.
A female judge on the side watched her, without taking her eyes off her.
“Miss Qiao, right? You were given the lines for the Princess Consort. Although recommended you to us, I actually believe in your acting abilities, because you’ve done well in previous films. The role of the Princess Consort should suit you pretty well. Good luck! I hope you won’t disappoint our expectations,” Director Jiang Kai spoke in a warm tone. After all, he had heard about Qiao Xiaren’s acting skills and admired them.
Qiao Xiaren nodded. The audition started soon.
“Since you wish for death, shall I oblige you?” Enacting the Princess Consort, Qiao Xiaren recited her lines.
The truth is, she didn’t memorize the lines. She had been preoccupied with the role of the Empress.
Additionally, she didn’t have extra time to read them earlier.
