Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Amanda Luo Lili
“Finding the Leading Lady” production team released six short videos online, where the first three were victorious, and the latter three were eliminated.
It wasn’t because the latter three were inferior to the first one; in fact, in terms of quality, they were even better than the first video.
It was simply because all the votes went to the second and third videos, and everyone had only one vote, resulting in no chance for the last three videos to stand out.
The only reason the first video had a chance was that some people were impatient and cast their votes immediately after watching it.
Each video featured three little girls, so in the end, nine girls advanced to the next round of the competition.
This competition was a collaboration between the “Finding the Leading Lady” show and another talent search program, which selected eight girls from eighty-eight sixteen-year-old girls to debut and form a group as idol artists.
Now, the talent search program was in its final stages, with only sixteen contestants left.
Little Taotie was dressed in a black tailcoat, tiny as a butler in a comic, carrying a tray with perfect poise.
It was now the role-playing segment, and she had drawn the role of a butler.
In the center of the stage stood a plump host who was quick-witted and famous in the industry.
“The little girls have already drawn their roles; now it’s the turn of the older girls to draw their roles,” the host said, “The audience as judges will vote to choose between two to four people to partner up and improvise a scene.”
As the host finished speaking, seventeen beautiful sixteen-year-old girls stepped onto the stage, some dressed playfully cute with hair dyed in various colors; others took a mature approach with big wavy hairstyles, wearing black dance skirts and high heels, showing off their long legs seductively; some adopted an androgynous look, with short hair, thick brows, dressed in menswear, their every move akin to boys…
“Welcome eighteen beautiful girls of the flowering season!”
Right after the host’s words, an anxious voice from the director came through the earpiece, “There are only seventeen!”
Seventeen? The host was puzzled.
Then he heard a long sigh through the earpiece from the director, “One of the contestants has committed suicide.”
After a moment of silence, the host corrected himself, “Welcome seventeen beautiful girls of the flowering season, please draw lots!”
Luo Lili wore a custom-made gown, her long hair dyed the color of seaweed blue, sporting high heels adorned with broken diamonds, she held her head high with pride, like the proudest peacock.
Amanda gave her a couple more glances, eyeing her with a complex look, filled with caution and guard.
That day, it was the two of them who escorted Yinuo home. Yinuo was clearly just drunk, but the next day news came of Yinuo’s suicide, that she had passed away.
She had a feeling that something was not right about it all; Luo Lili tagging along to send her home felt wrong. Amanda had already offered to take her home, and given Luo Lili’s character of indifference, it was unlikely she would have offered, yet that day Luo Lili did.
Luo Lili drew a card, flipped it over, and it read: You are a beautiful visitor.
Luo Lili twirled around, showing off a signature smile to the camera, “I don’t need to change, do I? Don’t I look like a beautiful visitor now?”
After consultation between the directors of the two programs, to achieve a win-win outcome, the show would be live-streamed online before being edited into a program.
The barrage swiftly scrolled: [Luo Lili is the most beautiful! Luo Lili is the best! Luo Lili is irreplaceable!]
[Lili, make your debut! You are the best!]
[Lili is perfect just like that, no need to change outfits! You already are the most beautiful visitor!]
“Next up, please Amanda draw a lot,” said the host.
Amanda stepped forward to draw, and the card she pulled read: You are an honest and beautiful maid.
[This must be the fate of a maid, right?]
[Amanda used to do extra roles, always playing a maid or a nanny!]
