Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Unless they don’t want to live anymore, who would dare compete with Miao Ke’er!”
“Even if someone else was chosen, with Miao Ke’er’s background, how would they be able to pass their days well?”
The spectators whispered to each other and even drew back a little, afraid that they would be affected by the battle.
Miao Ke’er couldn’t hold back her joy. She looked at Lu An and Xiang Quqi with even more disdain.
After a long time, no one dared to step forward. Miao Ke’er said with a sympathetic gaze, “I’m sorry, Boss Lu. You even went to all the trouble to set this up. I’m afraid the female lead can only be…”
“Me!”
Suddenly, a clear and loud voice rang out.
A girl dressed in a very plain grey outfit stepped forward.
It wasn’t difficult to tell from her clenched fists at her sides that she was actually a little nervous, but her posture was upright and confident.
Under the black streaks on her face, fair white skin could be seen. Her pitch-black eyes were bright and clear, and seemed to glow. She said calmly, “I want to audition for the female lead!”
“Wow!” How brave!
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Many even gave her a thumbs up.
Miao Ke’er, who was interrupted: “…”
…
After finding the female lead, the audition proceeded in an orderly manner.
The production team actually didn’t want someone popular like Miao Ke’er, and chose an unknown person?
A large group of low-level actors seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and their spirits were greatly lifted!
Lu An sat next to the judging panel, a notebook and pen in her hands. Every time someone came up to act, she wrote down a name.
Her father, Lu Xiao, sat beside her. He looked at her focused gaze and earnest face. In his heart, he thought, “My daughter is so cute~”
Not far away, a certain person, or certain people, who looked calm, thought inwardly, “My little sister is so cute, ahh~”
The first person to step forward was a girl around 15 or 16 years old.
She was dressed in an emerald green traditional outfit, and was auditioning for the role of the maidservant of the female lead, Luo Ming, who had returned to the capital. She had the right figure, but her makeup was a little thick.
After the audition, Xiang Quqi wasn’t very satisfied, and directly sent her out.
“Wait!”
Lu An stopped the girl.
The girl’s black eyes were already filled with tears. She looked back at Lu An in confusion.
Everyone, including Xiang Quqi, didn’t know why Lu An suddenly stopped her.
There clearly wasn’t anything special about her. Her movements and delivery were rigid, and she was just a minor character.
Lu An smiled slightly and said, “Remove the makeup on your face. Take a deep breath, then act out the scene you most want to perform.”
“Oh, oh!”
The girl quickly did as she was told.
Initially, she thought that she had no chance. Now that she was suddenly cued, she would even remove her scalp, to say nothing of her makeup!
The girl quickly took the makeup remover and wiped her face vigorously. Then, she washed her face with clean water which the production team had prepared beforehand. Taking Lu An’s words to heart, she took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said, “Miss, are you going to fly a kite?”
It was a clear and somewhat immature voice, and she sounded as if she was frightened by how mischievous the young miss she served was.
The girl was tense and her clenched fists trembled nervously. She pursed her lips tightly and her round and fair little face puffed up. She was a little afraid, and her eyes glistened with tears.
That act of wanting to persuade the young miss, but not daring to – compared with her earlier stiffness, it was as if she had turned into a completely different person!
