Chapter 26 - Not Even One?

"Of course, if you're not convinced, you can stay and try again."
After he finished speaking, Xiang Quqi completely ignored Miao Ke'er. He said to the entire crew, "Spread the word: anyone who thinks that they or their friends are capable enough to take the role of the female lead, and are interested, immediately come for an audition.
"Also, regarding the other roles, even the second male lead whom I think is insurmountable, if you think there's a role that you or your friends would do better at compared with the cast that has already been selected, you can all come and fight for it.
"From the main cast to the extras, I won't ask about your background, age, or education; as long as you're outstanding enough, the role is yours. No one will doubt you!
"What are you all waiting for?"
"Oh, y- yes!"
This sudden notice caused an uproar in the entire production team!
"Ahhh, does my daughter have a chance?"
"Can our kid come and audition?"
"Can our family's Mingming come too?"
One by one, the staff members almost went crazy with excitement. They immediately took out their phones and started making calls.
Most of those who worked in this industry, other than those who really liked it or had no choice, dreamt of becoming an actor, or that someone from their family would. They dreamt of being selected by the director one day to perform a world-shaking masterpiece, and then become world-famous!
But every opportunity which seemed to be right in front of their eyes was given to so-and-so because of some connection or an investment of tens of thousands of yuan; the opportunity that seemed within reach was forever beyond them!
As it happened over and over again, many people became disheartened and left the industry. However, there was still a group of people who blindly held on, working day and night. They even forgot why they had entered this industry back then.
Until now. This was a real opportunity! An opportunity!
Regardless of age, background, or education, as long as you were outstanding enough!
Outstanding!
What a moving phrase!
Miao Ke'er's face was indescribable. She wanted to see who would dare take her role as the female lead!
…
Very quickly, the show began.
Xiang Quqi ordered people to set up an audition tent. Everyone was already waiting for the first round of auditions.
The first audition was for the female lead.
Xiang Quqi asked directly, "Anyone who wants to audition for the female lead can step forward!"
The onlookers stirred, but after a few minutes, there was no one.
"Ha!"
On the side, Miao Ke'er curled her lip in disdain. Dressed in a luxurious ancient court robe, the fresh pink color complemented her exquisitely made-up face, making it look several times brighter. Her bright black eyes were crafty as she stood on the side, exuding a foxy charm.
Compared with her usual demure and obedient look, there was a wild air about her at the moment. It was unexpected and amazing!
The onlookers gasped!
Quite a number of people discussed it among themselves. "As expected of a popular starlet. Even if we have a chance to audition for the role of the female lead, who would be able to beat her?"
There were sighs one after another.
The corners of Miao Ke'er's lips curled up slightly as she looked at the judging panel. Her gaze passed over Lu An, and she waited to see what they would decide.
Lu An didn't say anything. She glanced around, then asked, "Does anyone want to try for the role of the female lead?
"Not even one?" Lu An frowned slightly in disappointment.
