490 I Meant Give It A Try At The Audition

“Otherwise, she wouldn’t have defeated Su Youlan in the audition for ‘Path of Life.’” Mingguan laughed dryly. “It’s just that the acting style of movies and TV shows is different. Su Youlan isn’t very familiar with TV shows, but she’s very clear about the acting style in movies. Therefore, Jiang Xun is at a disadvantage in this aspect.”

Mingguan secretly wiped his sweat and couldn’t help but criticize in his heart. With Mufeng’s protective attitude, would he dare not to choose Jiang Xun?

He hoped that Jiang Xun’s acting was as good as Haolun had said.

[Merit points +1]

Jiang Xun was confused.

Who gave her the merit point?

Mingguan?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The system said, “According to the system’s inspection, the merit point is from Li Mingguan.”

“I didn’t even say anything, why is he apologizing to me?” Jiang Xun didn’t understand.

The system replied, “Host, although you didn’t say anything, you’re the main person in Mufeng’s words. Li Mingguan’s target of merit points naturally became you.”

Jiang Xun was speechless.

It wasn’t bad.

Mingguan chatted for a while. He couldn’t stand the pressure from Mufeng.

It was easy for him to have stomachache when he ate under Mufeng’s eyes.

Mingguan took his leave. “CEO Qin, Jiang Xun, CEO Zhou, CEO Gao, CEO Wang, I still have my appointment. I can’t leave them hanging, so I’ll go back first. Let’s have a proper appointment next time.”

Mufeng had achieved his goal. He didn’t care whether Mingguan stayed or left. He only said,”Director Li, don’t forget to make it clear to Su Youlan when you get back.”

Mingguan was surprised. Did Mufeng know who he was having dinner with tonight?

However, he felt that it was within expectations.

Mufeng was Qin Yang’s boss. Since Mufeng knew that he would be having dinner here tonight, he must also know who he was meeting.

“Of course, I’ll tell Su Youlan when I get back,” Mingguan said. “This time, Luo Niannian’s role will be a fair competition through the audition.”

With Mingguan’s firm attitude, Mufeng nodded and let him go.

Mingguan went back to his original dining room.

Seeing that Mingguan had returned, the crowd put down their chopsticks.

“Director Li, you were gone for so long,” Youlan couldn’t help but say.

Mingguan smiled faintly and said, “I went to chat for a while. I couldn’t just go and say hello. Little Su, you’re not such an ignorant person, why would you ask this question?”

Youlan choked and looked at Mingguan with uncertainty.

Why did it feel like Mingguan’s attitude had changed after he came back from?

“Come on, come on, let’s continue eating.” Mingguan said with a smile.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks again. Youlan and Sister Ran were very curious about who Mingguan had gone to see just now, but they couldn’t ask directly.

At this moment, Mingguan said to Youlan, “Little Su, the day after tomorrow is the audition for Luo Niannian’s role. You should come for the audition at 10 o’clock. The audition will include the languages as well, so you should go back and prepare.”

“We have to test for language as well? But I just learned that I have to speak multiple languages.” Youlan was shocked.

“You’re supposed to speak in multiple languages, but there aren’t many lines that will be in foreign languages. You can make it if you prepare well,” Mingguan said.

“Director, why don’t we focus on the acting first? There’s still some time before the shooting starts, so I can use this time to learn some foreign language lines,” Youlan said with a smile.

However, Mingguan said, “That won’t do. You must pass for the foreign language lines during the audition. Otherwise, when we start shooting and realize that you haven’t practiced your foreign language lines well, it’ll be too late for me to find another actor to replace you.”

Sister Ran could tell that there was something wrong with Mingguan’s tone and asked, “Director, didn’t Youlan get the role of Luo Niannian a long time ago? I think the audition is just to see Youlan’s performance and let the director know what to do, right? After all, Youlan’s acting skills are well-known in the industry, and it isn’t her first time working with you. You know Youlan’s acting very well. As for the language, Youlan will definitely master it.”

“It might not be possible to familiarize yourself with the language in a short period of time, but for those fixed lines, after repeated practice, she can definitely do it,” Sister Ran smiled and probed.

Since it was already decided that Youlan would be playing Niannian, it didn’t matter if she went for the audition or not. It wouldn’t affect the results.

At most, Youlan would be the one to audition, and on the surface, it would seem like Youlan had been chosen through an audition.

Mingguan shook his head. “Little Su, you have to take this audition seriously. The role is not certain to be yours. If you don’t perform well in the audition, the role of Luo Niannian can’t be given to you.”

“Director, why is this different from what we agreed on?” Youlan’s face changed.

Sister Ran quickly grabbed Youlan’s arm and stopped her from talking. She smiled at Mingguan and said, “Director, you know how good Youlan’s acting is! There’s definitely no problem. Don’t worry, director, Youlan definitely won’t let you down.”

Sister Ran lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She then asked Mingguan, “Director, what Youlan said wasn’t wrong. We had agreed that Youlan would play the role of Luo Niannian. Why would there be a sudden change? Is there someone else who has taken a fancy to Luo Niannian’s character?”

Sister Ran almost reminded Mingguan that CEO Yao was behind Youlan!

“There are indeed many actors who are interested in the role of Luo Niannian.” Mingguan’s hand, which was holding the chopsticks, paused. He put his arm on the side of the table and seemed to think for a moment. Then, he leaned over slightly and said to Sister Ran, “So, let’s have everyone come to the audition to see who is more suitable for the role of Luo Niannian.”

“I know. CEO Yao strongly recommended Little Su to play the role of Luo Niannian, but no one is sure if she will suitable for the role before the audition,” Mingguan said. “So we still have to carry out an audition. Youlan, if you don’t like the role of Luo Niannian after the audition, you can try other roles!”

“Director, that’s not what you said before. At that time, I was sure that Luo Niannian’s role was mine!” Youlan said.

“As I said before, you can try out the role of Luo Niannian,” Mingguan said. “By ‘give it a try,’ I meant, give it a try at the audition.”

“Besides, we all know about Youlan’s acting skills. When CEO Yao recommended you, I was very confident in you and thought you could act well,” Mingguan said. “I also think that with your acting skills, if nothing goes wrong, the role is a sure-win for you.”

“As long as you act well, there won’t be any problems,” Mingguan smiled and said. “In the end, we still have to look at actors’ abilities to choose the cast. But Little Su, you’ve already gotten a lot more information than the others. Many people didn’t even receive the script. You have a bigger advantage than the others, so it won’t be right if you fail the audition.”
