About half an hour later…
"Sorry, I'm late."
Finally, He Shanshan and Wang Qiaohui came strutting haughtily in.
He Shanshan had invested time and effort on her hairstyle and makeup to achieve a more mature look. She was even wearing a professional suit from a luxury brand that had cost her at least 100,000 yuan. It seemed like she had spared no effort that day.
Even her aunt, Wang Qiaohui, had transformed into a glamorous upper-class lady.
"You brought your family to the audition?"
One of the actresses studied He Shanshan and Wang Qiaohui with a frown.
"What has that got to do with you?" retorted Wang Qiaohui coldly.
How could these people be compared to them?
Her daughter Shanshan, had Lin Shuya's support. Lin Shuya had arranged for this audition personally.
"Ha ha… This must be Miss He. Don't worry, take a seat." Feng Anhua instantly rose with a bright smile on his face when he saw He Shanshan.
"Thank you."
When He Shanshan noticed the fawning attitude of the producer, all traces of her doubts were dispelled. She turned haughty and cold.
She had never imagined that Sister Shuya would have such power. To think that even the producer was so courteous to her!
Wang Qiaohui became more confident and arrogant.
The actresses who were also here for the audition began to survey Wang Qiaohui and her daughter in a new light.
Who were they exactly? Even the producer, Feng Anhua, seemed to be buttering them up.
In that case… Do they still stand a chance today?
On the other hand, Jiang Yiming was famous for cherishing talent and emphasizing on acting skills. He shouldn't go against his own principles regardless of the connections behind this mother and daughter.
Lin Yan was sitting on the rightmost row, a considerable distance away from her aunt and cousin. Hence, they didn't notice Lin Yan.
"Lin Shuya has such a strong influence?" Lin Yan frowned.
Although Lin Shuya was supported by both the Lin and Han family, which were indeed influential, she couldn't possibly stretch her influence so far…
Soon, the auditions began.
There was a bed in the middle of the hall and a mannequin that was supposed to be the male lead.
This scene was simple. The male lead had collapsed after a setback. The female lead, who was his foe, was at the hospital to negotiate with him.
There were indeed many applicants vying to land the role, so the competition was intense. All of them possessed excellent qualifications and prerequisites.
The first to audition was a new actress who had become popular recently.
The mannequin lay quietly on the bed.
The new actress seemed rather nervous as she inhaled deeply. "I can do this!"
Jiang Yiming spoke. "Begin!"
The actress nodded and took another deep breath. She walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Then, she started to adjust the clothes of the mannequin. She tried her best to suppress her emotions as she gazed at the silly-looking mannequin.
The actress snapped out of her reverie when the director cleared his throat softly. She finally said her lines.
"You… Are you alright?"
Jiang Yiming's face fell. He interrupted her performance by bellowing, "Can't you act unless your opponent is a real person? Is the mannequin so funny? Why are you here then? How many times have you almost burst into laughter?"
Jiang Yiming, who was known for his vicious tongue, spared no thought for other people's feelings.
As soon as he finished talking, the actress went pale. The other actresses were all guffawing with laughter.
Lin Yan was speechless…
'This is too scary!'
'Let me out!'
Her acting skills were dreadful to begin with, so she definitely couldn't handle this complex character. Besides, the mannequin looked really funny and silly. This was way too difficult!
If this had been a real person, at least there would have been an interaction so that she could immerse herself in her role. However, acting with a lifeless mannequin was too awkward, as it couldn't respond.
Lin Yan's eyes darted left and right, looking for a chance to escape. Unfortunately, the doors had been locked earlier on.
The auditions went on.
Within an hour, three more actresses had had their turn. In general, they were all better than the first actress. However, they couldn't bring out the essence of the domineering female president. They merely seemed fiercer but fell short of Jiang Yiming's expectations and the ideal character.
Jiang Yiming massaged his temples. "Next."
At that moment, Wang Qiaohui glanced at her daughter. "Shanshan, their acting was horrible. How could they even dream of competing with you? What do they have?"
He Shanshan curled her lips and smirked in a conceited manner.
After some time, Feng Anhua stood up and turned to Wang Qiaohui and her daughter. With a fawning smile, he said, "Miss He, it's your turn."
"Okay."
He Shanshan nodded and deliberately rose gracefully. She strode towards the center of the room.
He Shanshan eyed the mannequin haughtily. "Don't feign death. Get up! I want to talk to you. We should come to a consensus…"
"Shanshan, you were great!" Wang Qiaohui instantly clapped loudly.
…
Jiang Yiming inhaled deeply.
She was a student of the prestigious Capital City Drama and Theater School?
Even if she had been an ordinary person, her acting would still have been considered passable.
However, now that she was a student of this prestigious drama school, things were different.
Could she be a domineering female President?
What was He Shanshan acting like? Was she a pampered, unreasonable princess?
What was she trying to portray?
If it hadn't been for President Pei, Jiang Yiming swore that he would have chased both her and her annoying mother out this very minute!
"How was it? Did you see that? This is real acting and true talent!" Wang Qiaohui glanced at Jiang Yiming and Feng Anhua.
Feng Anhua, who knew that Jiang Yiming was about to erupt, pressed his arm furtively and whispered, "Be calm… Think of President Pei!"
At last, Jiang Yiming suppressed his fury and swallowed his words.
"Miss He's acting is excellent!"
"Not bad. Miss He's acting is admirable!"
Suddenly, the eliminated actresses stood up to applaud for He Shanshan.
They were no fools, so they had noticed Jiang Yiming and Feng Anhua's attitude. This girl definitely had an influential backer.
Anyway, they had already been eliminated. They might as well pander to her and perhaps strike a friendship with this girl.
When He Shanshan saw that these actresses who were beginning to gain fame were all treating her with respect, she curled her lips.
"Excellent. Miss He has a strong foundation and fits this role well. Thus, we have decided to give this opportunity to her," said Feng Anhua with a smile.
"Congratulations, Miss He!"
"Miss He, can we exchange numbers?"
Several actresses approached He Shanshan quickly.
Before He Shanshan could speak, Jiang Yiming spoke, looking unhappy. "There is one more actress. Number 33, it's your turn."
