The next morning.
Song Qingyou personally brought Shu Ling to the set ofâ Spiritual Pearl.â
As soon as they reached the door, the two of them heard a few staff members chatting about how the main leads were late.
âItâs fine if the male and female leads are late. Theyâre already A-list celebrities, so they have the right to put on airs. The key is that Zhu Jiao also does the same thing. Every time, the people in the dressing room are busy.â
âIn any case, it has nothing to do with usâ¦â
Before they could finish speaking, they saw Song Qingyou and Shu Ling and immediately shut up.
After a while, someone reacted.
âEh? Isnât that Song Qingyou?â
Song Qingyou turned her head, and the surprised little girl laughed awkwardly. âTeacher Song.â
âWeâre looking for Director Yang. Can we trouble you to lead the way?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo problem.â
The little girl patted her chest and led the two of them into the filming area.
Along the way, she tried to find out what the two of them were doing here.
Song Qingyou replied with âan auditionâ and brought Shu Ling to Yang Hongcai.
If it werenât for the post-production special effects, Yang Hongcai wouldnât have given him the chance to audition.
However, after seeing Shu Ling, he nodded. âYour appearance is not bad.â
Shu Ling had a bright and beautiful appearance, and she was more of a mature older sister type, which matched the female duo in âSpiritual Pearl.â
Because of this, Yang Hongcai suddenly changed his mind and directly stuffed the script of âSpiritual Pearlâ into Shu Lingâs hands, letting her improvise a part.
Only after Shu Ling had officially started her audition did Yang Hongcaiâs expression become even more serious.
He had to admit that Shu Lingâs acting was much better than Zhu Jiaoâs.
Other than having more fans and a higher status, Zhu Jiao had no other advantage!
At the same time, Zhu Jiao arrived late.
She had just taken off her sunglasses and stuffed them into her assistantâs hands when she heard someone say the words âauditionâ and âSong Qingyou.â
Zhu Jiao walked straight towards them. âWhat are you guys talking about?â
The little girl who had been leading Song Qingyou was shocked. âNothingâ¦â
âI heard you mention Song Qingyou? Did she come here for an audition?â
âThis⦠We are not sure either.â
Zhu Jiao snorted and was about to say something when she heard Yang
Hongcaiâs voice not far away, âNot bad! Thatâs what 1 want!â
Director Yangâs voice was filled with surprise.
Zhu Jiao couldnât sit still anymore and quickly walked over.
In the entire drama, only her role had not been decided yet.
Could it be that Director Yangâs audition was for her role as the second female lead?
When she saw Song Qingyou, her heart skipped a beat.
âDirector Yang.â
Yang Hongcai nodded at her.
âDirector Yang, what do you think of the person I recommended?â Song Qingyou asked.
âVery good.â
Hearing this, Zhu Jiao turned to look at Shu Ling, whom she had deliberately ignored.
Seeing Shu Lingâs figure and appearance, Zhu Jiao immediately knew what Song Qingyou was up to.
At the same time, she felt relieved.
It was just a stranger. In terms of fame, she was not as good as her. In terms of acting skills, she did not believe that this person could win!
Zhu Jiao laughed mockingly and confidently walked in front of Song Qingyou, then said to Yang Hongcai, âSorry, Director Yang, Iâm late.â
With that, she instructed her assistant to call the makeup artist over.
But who knew that the next second, Yang Hongcai just casually said, âNo need for that.â
âDirector Yang?â Zhu Jiao turned around stiffly.
âShu Ling is very suitable to be the second female lead in this drama. Thereâs no need for you to audition anymore.â
It was a simple sentence, but it was as if he was announcing that he was going to throw people into the abyss.
Zhu Jiaoâs thoughts were in turmoil. She opened her mouth for a long time but could not say a word.
Song Qingyou gave Shu Ling a look.
The latter slowly stepped forward and extended her hand. âSister Zhu, nice to meet you.â
From Zhu Jiaoâs point of view, Shu Lingâs cold expression clearly showed that she didnât care about her at all!
Zhu Jiao slapped her hand away. âHappy? Of course youâre happy!â
âDonât be hypocritical. Get lost!â
Pushing Shu Ling away, Zhu Jiao looked at Yang Hongcai, âDirector Yang, didnât you say that 1 was the second female lead during the first audition? Now that itâs time for the final audition, you want to go back on your word. Do you know how much loss this will cause me?â
âAre you questioning me?â Yang Hongcai frowned and was very unhappy.
âAs far as I know, Miss Zhuâs audition was only two days ago.â Song Qingyou smiled.
âMiss Zhu hasnât been to the production team for the past two days. Although thereâs a loss, it shouldnât be much. Director Yang, why donât you pay Miss Zhu according to the salary of an extra for a day?â
Zhu Jiao clenched her fists and shouted angrily, âDonât insult me with the extra tag! How much is my appearance fee? How many extras were there? IWo daysâ worth of salary? Ha, are you trying to send a beggar away?â
Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. âIt seems that Miss Zhu doesnât need any compensation.â
Zhu Jiao was speechless.
Yang Hongcai took the opportunity to say: âSince you donât need compensation, please leave. 1 remember that you only signed a confidentiality agreement, not a contract.â
Two days ago, Zhu Jiaoâs audition was successful. Yang Hongcai wanted her to sign the contract, in case she stopped filming at the last minute.
However, Zhu Jiao rejected the contract after auditioning for two other shows.
She had always done this in the past, but she did not expect to shoot herself in the foot this time.
Zhu Jiao gritted her teeth, but she knew that there was no turning back.
âWho cares!â
Hence, she didnât even say goodbye and turned around to leave.
Song Qingyou stood in her path and reminded her with a faint smile,
âIf you donât want people to know, donât do it.â
âIf Miss Zhu didnât do anything, 1 would have forgotten about you.â
Zhu Jiao instantly thought of the Internet Water Army that she had spent money to buy some time ago.
She straightened her neck. âI donât know what youâre talking about! Assistant Liu, hurry up and catch up! Youâre dilly-dallying. Do you want to quit?â
Song Qingyou didnât follow her. She just felt that Zhu Jiaoâs guilty look was a little funny.
When she returned from the set of âSpiritual Pearlâ, Chen Lan sent her a screenshot of the chat.
It was the chat history of Zhu Jiao and He Jun.
Zhu Jiao felt that Song Qingyou only knew that she had hired a troll because the troll studio had leaked the news to outsiders and wanted to demand compensation.
He Jun said that it was absolutely not leaked
After all, Song Qingyou wasnât an outsider.
Moreover, the matter of Zhu Jiao hiring trolls was not made public, so she could not produce evidence that the studio had leaked the news.
The two of them argued for a long time because of this matter.
Song Qingyou found it funny and immediately replied:
[ Ask He Jun to make another deal with her. Just say that you can help her spread the news of what happened today.]
Chen Lan: [Zhu Jiao signed a confidentiality agreement with the production team. She shouldnât be so stupid, right?]
Song Qingyou: [Who knows? We only give suggestions and collect money.]
Chen Lan: [Okay. (Speaking from the bottom of my heart.jpg)]
Song Qingyou: [Sister Lan, are you mocking me for being heartless?]
Chen Lan: [Iâm not saying that you donât have a conscience. Iâm saying that youâre black-hearted.]
Chen Lan: [Chen Lan withdrew a message.]
Song Qingyou lowered her eyes and chuckled. In order to confirm her dark evaluation, she quickly typed:
[Your bonus for this month is gone..]
