Chapter 101: Chapter 102: Lackluster _1
A staff member came over to invite Qiao Xiaren to audition. Seeing the staff member earnestly invite Xiaren, Ye Qing felt her fingers involuntarily tighten.
A look of annoyed jealousy emerged in her eyes, giving rise to a poisonous flower unfurling in her heart. The toxic vines reached the depths of her being, gnawing at her heart and mind.
“Alright, Qingqing, focus on the audition,” Bai Xinran seemed to sense her unease and quickly left after a slight tug at her sleeve.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xiaren paid no attention to the two of them. She stood up and followed the staff member to meet with the director.
As she walked closer to the director, the breaths of the onlookers became more ragged. The epitome of beauty, she was so enchanting that even the picky Li Li had nothing to say. Her unparalleled looks would make up for any acting or emotional shortcomings.
There was a brief pause, and then everyone registered who she was. It turned out to be Qiao Xiaren, the newcomer model who had taken pictures with the renowned actor last time.
“Holy crap, it’s her, no wonder she’s super attractive. I knew I recognized her from somewhere…”
“Oh gosh, she’s even prettier in person than in the photos, flawlessly gorgeous from every angle, such fair skin, and so good-looking.”
Her tender face looked all the more innocent and pure because of her youth.
“Ahh, she’s adorable! I think I’ve become a fan!”
Her arrival stirred the crowd, yet Qiao Xiaren’s demeanor remained serene and noble. Beneath her exquisite, light makeup, there was a touch of natural elegance and grace.
“Hello, my name is Qiao Xiaren.”
“Hello, I’m Li Li.” He skimmed her with a glance and nodded approvingly.
Having seen countless handsome and beautiful faces from the entertainment industry, Li Li didn’t lose his composure. Instead, he ordered the makeup artist to take her to the dressing room to change.
The assistant director ran over, panting heavily, only to be met with Li Li’s disgruntled look, “Take a breath, speak slowly.”
“Director, it’s not…” The assistant director wiped the sweat off his forehead, “It’s Luo Hong… Luo Hong agreed to play the role of Demon Immortal in “Slaying Immortal”, but she wants to be the female lead in Yeqian’s new MV.”
“What? She wishes!” Li Li, infuriated, roared like a lion, “She wants to feature in Yeqian’s MV just so that I elevate her stardom once more. Absolutely not!”
“Calm down, Director Li, it’s merely a MV. The critical part is the role of the Demon Immortal in “Slaying Immortal,” which is incredibly challenging for an actor. If we can’t get Luo Hong, to lose her would surely be a regret!”
The assistant director thought this deal would be a breeze since Luo Hong’s brilliant acting skills were well recognized in the industry, only her pride was the major hindrance.
As of now, there didn’t seem to be any alternative better than offering Luo Hong the opportunity to star in Yeqian’s new MV in return for her role as the Demon Immortal in “Slay”.
Just as Li Li was about to respond, he noticed a sudden silence, followed by a collective gasp from the crowd. He lifted his head and froze in shock.
Click, click, click—the sound of high heels echoed.
As he followed the noise, silence fell over the room.
Under the dim light, people were first drawn to her dress, which emerged from the darkness, giving an eerie sense.
A tall, slender figure, much like a princess sauntering out of an ancient castle painting.
She had a fresh, cheeky, and cute appearance. Her hair was piled up at the back held together by a loosen hairpin, except for a single playful lock of hair that fell across her forehead.
All else seemed dull and colorless in comparison. She was the only color left.
