Chapter 28: Audition

XXVIII:

"There's no need for that." Ling Qing said, "If he loses this male lead, then whoever plays him will hold a grudge, instead of letting him hold a grudge against someone else, it's better to let him hold a grudge against me, after all, I'm the one-sixth owner of this company aren't I?"

"One sixth?"

"Little Fish, Qi Huo, and Han Xu, Little Fish is one-third, and as his spouse, I naturally take half, not one-sixth."

He Yun : ...... Are you trying to say that you are the boss lady of the company?

"That's why it's most appropriate for me to pull this hate."

"Besides," Qing Ling said calmly. Qing Ling said calmly, "The company's investment in this drama is not small, and it's clear that it wants to promote people, but who can guarantee that the next one to be promoted won't be another Hongming Chen? Only I won't, because I'm one-sixth of the company's boss."

It was true, He Yun thought, even if he divorced Chen Yu later, the property would have to be divided equally, as he earned more, he would get more, and there would be no harm in that.

"Then you have to be prepared to be remembered and envied by others."

Qing Ling leaned back in her chair and smiled in a cloudy and unconcerned manner, "Isn't holding grudges and jealousy the last thing the entertainment industry needs?"

"This incident will only look like a newcomer parachuting into the cast of March Peach Blossom Smile to the rest of the world, with the crowd lifting the sedan chair, and those who don't know it will think that I saved Morning rise's boss, and that's why Morning rise holds me in such high regard."

He Yun didn't expect him to be so open-minded, smiled, and replied, "You didn't save the company's owner, but you are yourself."

"So, outsiders will only think I'm lucky. What I'm more concerned about now," Qing Ling looked at her, her smile carrying some probing, "is that if I were to play Zhaoyang He, then Hongming Chen's fans would definitely not let me off the hook, and would say that I stole their brother's role. At this point, what are you going to do?"

"By the sound of your voice, you seem to have a solution?"

"There is some, but I want to hear you say it."

He Yun thought to himself that this was a test.

As she looked at Qing Ling, she had thought that he was just a vase and was acting to satisfy her vanity, but to her surprise, the other party was much smarter than she had imagined.

Not only is he smart, but he's also open-minded and bold.

This kind of character is a surprise to He Yun.

She leaned in close to Qing Ling and whispered a few words, briefly explaining her proposal, "Do you think it's okay?"

Qing Ling looked at the confidence in her eyes and laughed, "It's no wonder Hongming Chen became popular, I was just thinking, how can someone like him who is short-sighted and doesn't do things meticulously enough become popular so quickly? It seems that you deserve a lot of credit."

He Yun still has that gentle look, "I'm just working for someone."

"Then do as you say."

"Good."

As she finished, she looked at the man in front of her, and for some reason, it suddenly struck her that Morning rise's future might rest with this man.

He is more handsome than Hongming Chen, smarter and more ambitious than Hongming Chen, and most importantly, he and Chen Yu are one.

So he shares Chen Yu's hope that Morning rise will have a better future.

It was just after two o'clock when Qing Ling, led by He Yun, headed to the audition site.

The reason for this audition is simple: the movie is invested by Morning rise.

The second is that Hongming Chen himself has not signed a contract with the theater group, but all parties basically defaulted to him, and not many people know about Chen Yu's temporary replacement.

Even Hongming Chen himself doesn't know.

He also plans to take one last bite of Morning rise's cake before he leaves, plays Zhaoyang He, and then leaves in style.

It's just a pity that he's not destined to eat this cake now.

Qing Ling waited for the first three people to finish their interviews before he walked in.

He pushed open the door, and in the midst of the silence, he met the director of March Peach Blossom Smile - Director Li.

It was only in the past few days that director Lee realized that his male lead had been replaced; he's been in the business for many years and has long been an established commercial film director.

So he knows his job very well - he's only responsible for shooting the movie, as for who to choose, that's up to the producer and the investor to decide, he takes the money and just needs to shoot the movie well, the rest, no need to ask more questions.

Moreover, he did not like Hongming Chen either. After the drama team decided to cast Hongming Chen, they invited her to audition for the movie more than once, but Hongming Chen said there was no need to do so due to her popularity.

"It's already been decided that it's me, so what's the point of auditioning? Don't toss it, I've been busy lately and I'm too lazy to waste time on such things."

After hearing this at the time, director Lee was a bit upset with Hongming Chen, the male lead he had yet to meet.

No director would like an actor who plays a big game, and the same goes for director Lee.

So he didn't have any complaints about this change, the male lead would still be the same job for him no matter who he changed to play, but if the new male lead was humble and polite and acted well, then he would have earned it.

Thinking that he could cast an actor with the best acting skills in a limited range, Director Li was unconsciously a little happy.

After all, only the capital likes the popularity of flow actors, the director likes always the acting skills of the actors.

As for whether or not the actor was a hit, it wasn't something he cared about.

When Qing Ling walked in, Director Li had just scored the last one to go out, and when he looked up and saw him, he did light up.

Qing Ling's looks were superior, with picturesque brows and vaguely sharp, aggressive good looks, like an arrow.

Director Li looked at him, smiled, and asked, " Qing Ling right?"

"Yes." Qing Ling bowed politely, "Greetings."

"You've read the script, haven't you, so let's act out the part where Zhaoyang He first enters Suizhou."

The director finished and threw the fan he had in his hand in passing.

Qing Ling lifted her hand to receive the fan, and with a "wow" sound, she opened the fan, gently fanned it, smiled at the director, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

His eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a three-point flow for no reason, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile, which instantly changed the look on his face, as if he had changed into a different person, just like Zhaoyang He in the book.

Qing Ling's audition took a little longer than He Yun thought it would, and she was a little worried, walking around outside the door.

After a long time, the door opened.

Qing Ling walked out with a fan.

He Yun rushed over and asked, "How is it?"
