Chapter 28

Best Actor Zang Senyan
Someone realized that something was wrong. She frowned as she looked at her back. “That’s not right. She came after me. Why did she go in so early?”
“Perhaps… She came long ago, but she went to the toilet halfway?”
“No! She didn’t come that early.”
Seeing that the girl was so sure, everyone was puzzled. They couldn’t help but glance at the tightly shut door again, each having their own plans.
The audition room was a temporary classroom. The tables and chairs in the room had been moved out. There were tables and some cameras in front of the podium.
Director Guo looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a baseball cap and sitting in the middle. He had deliberately grown a beard of about one centimeter under his nose. Above his nose was a pair of silver-framed glasses. His eyes were filled with anger because of the few people he had just interviewed.
This Director Guo was really like the rumors said. When he was angry, strangers should not approach him.
Ning Mengmeng sighed in her heart. She turned around and saw a man sitting next to him. Her pupils constricted instantly.
Best Actor Zang Senyan!
This… Wasn’t he Pei Yuchen’s sworn brother?
The man’s peach blossom eyes were slightly raised. He was only wearing a simple white T-shirt, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. It was a stark contrast to Director Guo, who had a dark expression on his face.
When he saw Ning Mengmeng enter, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. Tsk, Second Sister-in-law~
Ning Mengmeng took a deep breath and greeted everyone as if she didn’t see him.
“Hello everyone, I’m Ning Mengmeng. I’m a second-year student in the performing arts major. Today, I’m going to audition for the role of the third female lead.”
Director Guo sized up Ning Mengmeng. Seeing her elegant and generous manner, coupled with a wild aura, his gloomy expression eased a little.
However, a mere rookie dared to challenge this character… He sized her up without batting an eyelid. “You’re quite bold.”
Although she was the third female lead, she was a very bright character. She would not attract any negative comments. As long as she acted well, she would definitely be likable. Therefore, in the director’s heart, the choice of the third female lead was more important than the second female lead. The second female lead was the first villain, but the third female lead was the friend that the female lead cherished with her life. The third female lead could not attract negative comments for the female lead.
Ning Mengmeng smiled. She didn’t mind Director Guo’s attitude. He was a sharp-tongued man, and Ning Mengmeng had experienced it in her previous life. Besides… The two of them actually had history.
She was acting with Ning Yushi when Director Guo happened to notice her. Director Guo wanted her to act for him, but when Ning Mengmeng thought about how Su Zihang did not like actors, she suppressed the throbbing in her heart. After that, her heart ached for a long time.
Ning Mengmeng’s eyes gradually returned to calmness as she pulled herself away from her memories. It was alright. God was willing to give her a chance in this life. The man who loved her was also so supportive of her career. She was very satisfied. She looked up at Director Guo. “Can I start the audition now?”
“Yes, let’s try the scene of being abandoned by the male protagonist before she dies.”
Ning Mengmeng nodded. She had already guessed that the director had asked her to try out this scene. This scene could be said to be one of the highlights of the script. The ups and downs of the third female lead’s life ended here. In the original novel, when the third female lead died, many people felt sorry for her. Some people even suggested that the third female lead should be the female lead and asked the author to change it and publish a new book about the third female lead. Because the third female lead never slept with the emperor in the drama, and when she was with the emperor, there was not even a kiss, so she could start a new book.
Ning Mengmeng came back to her senses, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, slowly getting into character.
“Wait a minute.”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out. Ning Mengmeng opened her eyes abruptly…
