Chapter Fifty-Seven p1
Since Assistant Xu was the one handling the investment in the production team, Bo Chi wasn’t worried at all that her “private visit in disguise” would be recognized by the director and the others.
After getting the number plate, the audition hadn’t started yet. Bo Chi and Yu Zhao reviewed the female lead’s character settings, and were discussing which part of the plot the director would ask them to perform later, when another woman walked in through the door.
The woman looked pure, her walking posture graceful, and there was even a small assistant behind her, holding her bag and water.
Bo Chi glanced over, and before she could recognize who she was, she heard the people around her gasp, as if a pot had exploded, and exclaimed: “Tao Su? Why would she come to audition for this low-budget drama!”
“It really is Tao Su, as gentle and weak as she is on TV.“
“This isn’t right, isn’t the female lead in ‘Rise of the Phoenix’ a resilient and stubborn character? This is completely different from the type of roles Tao Su has played before. With her current status, she wouldn’t come to audition for the second or third female lead, would she?“
“And the female lead’s face is also of the gorgeous and disastrously beautiful type, which doesn’t match her pure appearance and temperament, does it…?“
The murmuring gossip made Bo Chi suddenly realize something. She turned to look at Yu Zhao beside her, and saw that the other party’s cold face showed obvious disgust and hatred, her hand unconsciously clenching into a fist, looking like she really wanted to slap Tao Su.
Bo Chi knew the plot of this world, and understood the grudge between her and Tao Su very well. Previously, she had been so focused on Yu Zhao that she forgot to teach Tao Su a lesson and vent her anger for her wife.
Now that Tao Su had taken the initiative to come, she smiled instead, just waiting for Tao Su to go in for the audition, and then she would follow and slap her in the face.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Tao Su asked her assistant to get the number plate, but she came to Bo Chi and Yu Zhao accurately, and smiled softly at Yu Zhao: “What a coincidence, Sister Yu, I didn’t expect you to enter the entertainment industry too, and we’re even auditioning for the same drama.“
She drew out her voice, with a deliberately delicate posture, her gaze moving from Yu Zhao’s face to Bo Chi’s face, and then from Bo Chi’s face back to Yu Zhao’s face. The jealousy in her heart was like a venomous snake sticking out its scarlet tongue, bubbling with sourness.
It was said to be a coincidence, but in fact, she also received the company’s order temporarily. When she learned that the company wanted her to audition for such a simple and unknown small production team, she was so angry that she threw a tantrum, and after smashing who knows how many things, she calmed down and became the delicate and weak ‘little jade girl’ again, coming here obediently.
When she first entered the room, she saw Yu Zhao at a glance.
Not only because they were ‘sisters’ from the same orphanage, but also because her nightmare had come true – Yu Zhao had been beautiful since she was young, and whenever parents came to choose children, Yu Zhao was always the first to be chosen.
If it weren’t for the fact that many cases of child molestation had been exposed during that time, and the director was worried and didn’t dare to let go, and Tao Su deliberately grabbed Yu Zhao, crying and refusing to let others take her away, Yu Zhao would probably have been adopted long ago, and become a rich and powerful young lady.
Tao Su’s jealousy of Yu Zhao started from a young age. She hated Yu Zhao’s beauty, and resented that she was only average-looking, with plain features and flaws, and could only become a ‘little jade girl’ bit by bit through makeup and minor plastic surgery.
And Yu Zhao? She didn’t need to do anything, just enter this circle, and she could get a lot of resources because of her appearance.
How could Tao Su not hate her?
On the first day she entered the circle, Tao Su was afraid that Yu Zhao would also follow.
Now that her nightmare had come true, she was both angry and hateful, but she still had to play the role of a good person in front of outsiders, so she could only smile and say: “Long time no see, how come you’re wearing Nobility’s clothes? Their clothes start at five figures, and aren’t you still an orphan?“
Hearing ‘five figures’, the onlookers immediately stared at Yu Zhao in surprise.
After looking for a while, the group silently looked away, and whispered: “Are these really five-figure clothes?“
“How would I know? Don’t all clothes look the same?“
“I heard that big-name clothes have unique logos.“
“I can’t even tell the difference between BMW and Audi logos, and you want me to recognize clothing logos? Aren’t you making things difficult for me?“
A bunch of lowlifes!
Tao Su gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart for a long time.
Anyone who wanted to lead the public to look at Yu Zhao with strange eyes, but in the end, was defeated by the public’s innocent ignorance of even having heard of the brand, would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Tao Su really couldn’t stand these stupid onlookers anymore, and put on a smile again, preparing to personally tear off Yu Zhao’s fig leaf.
Bo Chi spoke at this moment, and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect Miss Tao to only be able to afford three-figure clothes, but to be so familiar with five-figure brands. That’s right, Ah Zhao is indeed a poor orphan. As soon as she earns money, she sends it back to the orphanage, and doesn’t have any money to buy clothes. The reason why she can afford five-figure clothes is because her rich girlfriend bought them for her.” Tao Su subconsciously repeated: “Rich girlfriend? Hmm? Girlfriend???“
Bo Chi said shamelessly, praising her profusely: “Yes, her girlfriend is very good to her, and bought her a truckload of clothes, shoes, and bags. These five-figure clothes are nothing among them, so Ah Zhao doesn’t care about them at all.“
Tao Su’s smile stiffened, and she said reluctantly: “There’s such a thing? That’s really surprising. But two girls being together definitely won’t last long, right? Maybe after a few years, the rich woman will change her mind and not want Sister Yu anymore, what then?“
The more she spoke, the smoother she became. In the end, she even added: “Being a kept woman is not a good thing. It’s not good for you two sisters to say it so blatantly, what if others hear it?“
“It’s not being a kept woman.” Bo Chi said leisurely: “The rich woman and Ah Zhao have already decided to get married in two years. At that time, the rich woman’s billions of assets will all be shared with Ah Zhao.“
Tao Su’s breathing suddenly quickened, her fingers digging deeply into her flesh, and her voice hoarse: “Billions of assets? Are you kidding? How can it be so much?“
Bo Chi admired her face that couldn’t hide her jealousy, and said with a smile: “It’s precisely because it’s so much that she’s called a rich woman.“
Tao Su’s mentality cracked, and the others also felt envious, jealous, and hateful.
The group of people who were just indifferent and aloof immediately came over honestly, and said with smiles: “Little sister, I’m the number before you. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I have plenty of time, why don’t we switch number plates and let you audition first?“
“Me, me, me, I’m first, I’m number one!“
“Sister, what will you do if you two girls are together and don’t have children? How about this, I’ll be your daughter! If that doesn’t work, I can also be your granddaughter!“
“Rich woman, hungry, hungry, food.“
Once upon a time, Tao Su had desperately longed to be surrounded by everyone, to be the only pearl under the spotlight, and for everyone in the world to praise her generously.
But the reality was cruel!
She wasn’t even as good as Yu Zhao, who had just entered this circle. She was clearly a somewhat famous actress, and in this unknown production team, she was considered a dimensionality reduction attack, but these people were all fawning over Yu Zhao, and ignoring her!
Tao Su’s heart was twisted with hatred, and just as she was trying to add fuel to the fire, the closed door on the side suddenly opened, and a gentle-looking woman walked out, and said with a smile: “The audition will officially start in five minutes, please get ready, number one.”
As she spoke, she looked around the room, saw Tao Su with some surprise, nodded, and then glanced at the crowd surrounding Yu Zhao, her eyes filled with confusion.
But she didn’t say anything more, and quickly returned to the room and closed the door.
After number one switched number plates with Yu Zhao, he tactfully stepped aside, and even pulled the others, saying: “Don’t disturb the rich lady, give her some time to prepare.“
The others glared at him, cursing him for his scheming, and said sullenly: “We know, we know, we just haven’t had time to leave yet.“
The crowd dispersed, and Tao Su didn’t have any more time to cling to Yu Zhao, so she could only sit down aggrievedly and snatch the number plate from her assistant’s hand.
Her nails were long and sharp, and accidentally scratched a long mark on the assistant’s arm. The assistant hissed in pain, but didn’t dare to say anything, and could only continue to twist the bottle cap and hand her the water.
Theoretically, only one person could enter the audition at a time.
But who was Bo Chi?
She was the sponsor of the entire production team!
She didn’t need to be present at all, just send a message to Assistant Xu, and she could naturally enter the room with Yu Zhao. And the two people in the room didn’t complain at all, and the gentle assistant director even gave Bo Chi a stool.
The director was a young-looking man surnamed Wei. Bo Chi remembered that his resume said that he had just graduated from school not long ago, but looking at his somewhat sparse hair, her eyes gradually deepened – It seemed that this Director Wei had signs of premature balding.
Director Wei’s temper wasn’t very good, but in front of Yu Zhao, he was very humble, without any airs of a director: “Miss Yu, just choose a part of the play you like and perform it, Assistant Director Fang and I will give our evaluation seriously.“
“Okay.” Yu Zhao nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes reddened, her eyes burning with fire: “Ten years of marriage, and you break it off just like that? Has the General’s Mansion forgotten that without my father’s support, your Xie family would have been wiped out ten years ago, where would your glory today come from?“
“Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side, don’t bully the young and poor! I, Ye Canghua, swear here that I will achieve the Great Dao in the future, and return all the shame the Prime Minister’s Mansion has suffered today to Xie Ze!“
This was the beginning of the plot, where the male supporting character, Xie Ze, was found to have dual spiritual roots, and came to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to break off the engagement.
The female lead’s father couldn’t bear the humiliation, and spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. The female lead then lifted the curtain and came in, her eyes red as she supported her father, and said these words word by word.
A big female lead drama was very demanding on the actress playing the protagonist. It was very important whether she could vividly interpret the female lead’s resilience and unyielding spirit. Yu Zhao’s acting skills were undoubtedly good. After spending a lot of time studying the script and analyzing the character, she not only successfully portrayed that unyielding spirit, but also acted without any awkwardness.
Now that ‘don’t bully the young and poor’ had become a joke, she successfully used her acting skills to bring everyone into the scene at that time, not only moving their hearts, but also making them feel genuinely excited.
