Chapter 1297 Strive for excellence
"Okay, I got it. I will be there on time tomorrow." Jiang Mubai suppressed his inner excitement and tried to answer in a calm tone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai couldn't calm down for a long time. Since her rebirth, she has been focusing on talent shows and has not considered taking on film and television dramas. This audition opportunity is undoubtedly a huge surprise for her.
The next day, Jiang Mubai dressed up carefully and arrived early at the company where the "Alluring City" crew was located.
As soon as he entered the company's gate, Jiang Mubai felt a strong artistic atmosphere. The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with various movie posters and stills, including some promotional posters for international blockbusters.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, tried to calm his nervous mood, and followed the signs to the audition room.
There were already several young actresses sitting in the room, all of them dressed up beautifully and with delicate makeup, and it was obvious that they had prepared carefully.
Seeing Jiang Mubai come in, several actresses cast curious glances at him, with a hint of scrutiny and hostility in their eyes.
Jiang Mubai ignored them, found an empty seat, sat down, and began to recite the script silently.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the audition had not started yet. Just when Jiang Mubai was getting a little impatient, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a tall woman wearing sunglasses walked in.
The woman was wearing a black business suit, with her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, delicate makeup on her face, fiery red lips, and a strong aura.
"Sorry for waiting, everyone. I'm the producer of this show, Linlin." The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lin Lin? Jiang Mubai was shocked. Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Lin Lin was a famous "venomous" producer with an extremely picky eye. All the projects she handled, from actors to scripts, had to go through layers of screening to achieve perfection.
It seems that this audition is not as simple as I imagined, Jiang Mubai thought to himself.
Lin Lin's eyes swept around the room and finally landed on Jiang Mubai, the smile on her lips deepened a little.
"You are Jiang Mubai, right? I saw your performance in 'Star of Tomorrow'. It was very spiritual and very much in line with the image of the heroine in my mind." Lin Lin walked up to Jiang Mubai and said in a gentle tone.
There was a hint of surprise on Jiang Mubai's face. She didn't expect that Lin Lin would pay attention to a talent show like "Star of Tomorrow", and she didn't expect that Lin Lin would speak so highly of her.
"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Linlin." Jiang Mubai responded politely.
"You don't have to call me Sister Linlin, just call me Linlin." Linlin smiled, then motioned for Jiang Mubai to follow her to the next room for the audition.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and followed Lin Lin into the room. There was only a table and two chairs in the room. Lin Lin motioned for Jiang Mubai to sit down and handed her the script.
"Take a look at the script first. We'll start in ten minutes." After Lin Lin finished speaking, he turned aside and started looking at his phone.
Jiang Mubai took the script and quickly skimmed through it. The script told the love story between an ancient female general and a prince of an enemy country. The heroine came from a general's family, had practiced martial arts since childhood, had a heroic character, and dared to love and hate.
Jiang Mubai was very interested in this role. She had a very heroic temperament, and she had participated in talent shows during this period, which enriched her stage experience. She believed that she could handle this role.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Mubai put down the script, raised his head and looked at Lin Lin, his eyes full of confidence.
"Linlin, I'm ready."
Lin Lin put down her phone, looked up at Jiang Mubai, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Very good, let's get started."
Just as Lin Lin finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a familiar figure appeared at the door.
"Linlin, long time no see."
The person who came was none other than Qin Yuanqing!
Jiang Mubai was startled, and a bad premonition came to his mind. Why did Qin Yuanqing appear here? Could it be?
"Boss Qin, why are you here?" When Lin Lin saw Qin Yuanqing, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but his tone remained calm, without any disturbance.
"Is it not okay for me to come and see my fiancée?" Qin Yuanqing curled up the corners of his mouth with an evil smile, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of interest.
Fiancée? Jiang Mubai was stunned. What did he mean? His fiancée was Zhang Ya?
Qin Yuanqing's arrival made the originally professional audition scene suddenly seem to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
He glanced at Jiang Mubai provocatively, then turned to Lin Lin and said with a smile, "Do you mind if I bring someone here to watch and learn? My fiancée Zhang Ya is the biggest investor in this drama. She hopes that the drama can go on smoothly, and also hopes that..."
He deliberately prolonged his tone, looking back and forth between Jiang Mubai and the timid girl behind him: "Give the newcomers some opportunities."
The girl looked young, and her eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Jiang Mubai, especially her harmless and pure look, which was simply a replica of Jiang Mubai when he first debuted.
Jiang Mubai sneered in her heart. Qin Yuanqing's trick was really clumsy. He wanted to disgust her by finding a substitute?
"Niki, come over and say hello." Qin Yuanqing waved his hand, and the girl obediently walked to his side and bowed timidly: "Hello, Producer Lin, I'm Niki."
"Niki? I seem to have seen you somewhere?" Lin Lin repeated, looking Niki up and down, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Niki's eyes flickered, and she seemed a little nervous: "I... I played a little maid in "Fighting Legend" before, you may not have any impression of me"
"Oh, I remember now. It's the one who stole the show and was scolded by netizens?" Lin Lin nodded in sudden realization, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Niki's face suddenly turned red and white, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Producer Lin, please don't say that. Niki is still young and her acting skills need to be honed. She came here this time to learn from Teacher Jiang, don't you think so, Niki?" Qin Yuanqing said, putting his arm around Niki's shoulders and pushing her towards Jiang Mubai.
Niki bit her lip and looked at Jiang Mubai timidly, but a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes: "Teacher Jiang, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have snatched your role. This time I will definitely learn from you obediently. Please don't be angry with me."
Jiang Mubai looked at the pretentious girl in front of her and felt only amused. Of course she knew that Niki was referring to what happened last time on the set of "Fighter Legend". At that time, Niki relied on the fact that she was inserted by Qin Yuanqing and targeted Jiang Mubai everywhere, even deliberately stealing the show in order to embarrass her.
