Ivy sat in a room that was twice the size of her studio apartment. The walls occupied large movie posters. All had one thing in common and that they are from the same production house. From beginners to big names, the banners displayed details of major castings that Ivy stared at them longingly. She watched to hope that someday hers would also get added to the collection.
Intruding her vision, a man entered the room, his grey hair and an aggressive appearance greeted his guest with a courteous smile.
"Ivy," he gaped, straightaway, his smile showed his aged wrinkles under his hooded eyes and on the forehead. His fleshy nose sloped down to smell anticipation in the room, for he expected Ivy's early visit. His thin lips kept displaying a smug smile behind which it seems to behold surprise news.
Ivy stood to greet as well, and the two took their respective seats.
"Mr. Finn, I assume that I'm not disturbing your day! I had time, so I arrived early."
"Oh, please! It was me who called you here."
Ivy returned a polite smile.
Tim Finn, the owner of the production company, called Ivy out the following day after Halloween. He did not mention any other details but frankly expected her to be present.
Upon returning to his seat, Tim worked in his computer, typing along hastily while Ivy waited.
Finishing his little note-taking shortly, Tim finally turned his attention to the guest. Looking at Ivy and studying her face, his courteous smile observed her angst, acknowledging the dark circles and dried look.
"Are you even sleeping properly?" he asked, concerned.
Ivy faintly nodded, posing a friendly smile to assure her stable condition.
"Making movies is a difficult job, especially for a director- and us, producers," Tim pointed at himself with a laugh.
Ivy couldn't agree more to his words. However, she was not visiting Tim to share the weight of working in this industry.
"So, what do you think?" Ivy asked.
Finn's face became tense all of a sudden, startling his guest, who began to sweat in the fully air-conditioned room.
"Oh, please, Mr. Finn. You know how scary it is to sit on this seat and wait for your reply," Ivy cried.
Her appeal cut through Tim's stern face, and a burst of laughter broke into the room.
"Fine!" he yielded lastly.
Ivy returned to look at him eagerly and waited for his voice.
"The script is good. I like it."
Only after hearing Tim's voice did she released her breath, leaning back into her seat, feeling half of her stress vanishing already.
Finn watched her animated face change to his verdict.
"You did a great job!" he praised Ivy to her sentiment.
"Alright! We can proceed with this project. Congratulations, Ivy. Your first director debut for a feature!" Finn said to clap his hands.
"Mr. Finn, you know very well how tough this job is. Congratulate me after the movie hits theater!" Ivy sighed.
"That, I will do!" Tim laughed.
"Let's talk about auditions, now," he added on a serious note. His producer's face stood facing his guest.
"We need to cast actors. What do you have in mind?" Tim asked.
Ivy expressed her desire to let the casting director handle the auditions while she notified that the co-writer of the script would be there to observe the actors.
"You don't want to sit for auditions?" Tim asked concernedly.
There are times when directors don't necessarily sit for the auditions and request for tapes, leaving the matter at the hands of the casting director. However, since it is Ivy's first feature film, Tim hoped that she would join the auditions. His judgment failed as Ivy explained the reason to make such a call. David and Ivy wrote the script for this feature together, and David took the liberty to develop the characters to their perfection. Therefore, Ivy hoped that he would be fitting to stay while she could focus on other tasks.
Tim heard her wish and considered her reasons to allow it. 
The discussion went all afternoon, and they decided auditions dates and documents required for the actor's references.
Concluding, Tim informed Ivy about the film contracts and called in one of his assistants to bring out the papers.
"Read it to your comfort and sign it. In case you have doubts or negotiate terms, let us know!" Tim informed.
Ivy agreed.
Reaching home, she passed on the good news to her team. It was a surreal moment for all to digest the fact they are going to make an actual feature film. Bethany almost cried while Parker centered his attention on testing with his equipment. David received the news about joining the auditions. At first, he rejected the idea and hated Ivy for deciding on her own. He preferred not to take responsibility from sheer stress.
It took Ivy an effort to convince David and make him realize that he would be the right choice.
"You don't have to worry because I make the final call. You only have to see the performances and decide if they could play the part. If so, then remember their names!" Ivy suggested.
Hearing her idea did persuade David to an extend of vaguely agreeing to it.
"Don't be such a wuss, David. You wrote this script too! It makes sense for Ivy to choose you," Bethany roared from watching him have a meltdown.
"Easy for you to say, your job is pretty much with the computers," David fought back.
His comments triggered the young lady who took her profession with pride, thus provoking to fight back and soon turn to an argument.
"Excuse me, examining auditions sounds like a piece of cake compared to an editor's job!"
Before they could get intense, Parker alone glanced at them- a fierce gaze is enough to shut the two at once. Bethany is afraid of turning on Parker's anger switch while David didn't want to get scolded by someone younger than him. He finally agreed to Ivy, and everyone returned to their posts.
Ivy signaled at Parker for his help.
"Let's do this properly!" he gestured.

Lucy finished her recent show in Paris and was heading back to the states when Frank called her out to discuss another new project.
Ever since the breakup, all Lucy did was countless jobs, one after the other without any break or vacation. Indulging herself to work made it easy for her to cope up with the rejection. Frank, who could visibly see the desperate efforts of Lucy's, made sure to keep her schedule occupied, but did not put too much on her plate.
Reaching home, Lucy quickly changed her outfit to leave again to meet Frank.
...
It was quite late into the evening, and they decided to dine together.
Frank informed Lucy about a new opportunity that he received just a few hours ago.
Lucy agreed instantly, thinking that it was another one of those magazine photoshoots or runway shows. However, Frank paused before continuing.
"It's for a movie!" Frank said.
Lucy lifted her gaze, perplexed.
"You mean acting?" she asked.
Frank shared the news about the new movie audition that the agency received and suggested Lucy take a look at it. Ivy, almost bewildered from hearing that she received an acting opportunity, could not believe it to her ears.
"Are you serious?" she gaped at Frank.
"The female protagonist is a model, and so, the director requested that the role, if played by a real model, could have more impact."
Ivy still couldn't believe what she is hearing and found it to be a fiction.
"Are you sure that they asked for me?" she asked again, unsure of the situation.
"Yes. Since you worked so hard until now, our agency hoped that you would meet for the requirements," Frank said.
He added that another model from the same agency also received the invitation. Ivy appeared speechless. She could pose for hours, but acting is something different. To be able to bring a character into life, go through the journey, and tell a story- all seems hard.
"I don't think I can become an actor!" she whispered from the fear.
"If I jump to movies and leave my current job as a model, who knows what would happen if I fail. I'm too scared, Frank."
Frank heard and saw her panic. He did not force her again but still shared the details with Lucy about the auditions, suggesting to broaden her skill by considering new possibilities.
"If I thought you couldn't do it, then I would have declined without telling you a word, but- I saw potential in you. Think about it, and let me know by tomorrow," Frank said and gave her the time to choose wisely.
They ate dinner together, never to follow the discussion further, but had other chats about work. 
Frank's words did stir Lucy and made her rethink her decision.

After actor number thirteen came out from their audition, a staff member called Ji Yi's name and gestured for her to come onto the set.
Each actor had their own acting methods. To prevent people from being influenced by other actors, only one actor at a time was allowed on set.
Whether it was the investments or the cast, Director Liang's new movie had to have the best, so aside from the production staff, influential people from the industry were also invited to judge the auditions. This included producers, co-directors, and some investors.
Four years ago, after Ji Yi became famous overnight, she quickly gained a lot of experience with acting and going onstage, so she wasn't the least bit nervous about this situation. When she saw director Liang signal for her, she stepped in front of the judging panel with unbound elegance. She held a perfect smile and stood naturally as everyone assessed her appearance.
As everyone checked her up and down, her eyes scanned the people in the studio. There were some people she met in the past, and some were completely new faces. In the end, her eyes fell on director Liang. Her expression froze slightly when she accidentally caught sight of the person sitting next to him from the corner of her eyes. She didn't take a close look, but she could tell it was him... He Jichen, who she hadn't seen for several days.
What's he doing here? What's more, why's he sitting next to director Liang...? Ji Yi's mood was inevitably affected by He Jichen's presence, but she knew just how important today's audition was, so she quickly composed herself. She pretended he wasn't even there and calmly introduced herself to everyone in the room. "Hello everyone, I'm Ji Yi."
After hearing her introduction, an expert and senior in the industry asked, "Miss Ji Yi. What role are you auditioning for today?"
Without any hesitation, two words slipped from Ji Yi's mouth, "Little Nine."
These two casually spoken words stirred commotion in the room.
In director Liang's movie, Little Nine had a total of five lines of dialogue. She wasn't even considered an insignificant female role, let alone a supporting female character. At most, she was fodder for the camera.
The main female character was already confirmed for the movie, but there were still positions available for supporting female characters two and three. Most of the candidates that day were auditioning for the second and third female role; this was the first time an actress auditioned for such an inconspicuous character. It was perhaps the first time they'd encountered something like this in their entire history of holding auditions.
Everyone's attention was suddenly on Ji Yi.
From the beginning of auditions that day, director Liang seldom shared any thoughts, but this time, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you choose this character?"
"Because I quite like this character." Ji Yi's answer was very conservative, but she spent a few days analyzing the characters from director Liang's movie. It wasn't that the other characters weren't good, but Little Nine's character was odd in all the right ways. She liked the main female character, she went crazy for love, and even turned corrupt for love. In the end, she made a huge sacrifice for love. Even though she rarely appeared in any scenes, she was an exquisitely intriguing character.


Time stopped at eighteen for Ji Yi, and now all she wants to do is pick up from where she left off. Her career depends on it, and on top of that, she has to survive a fake marriage turned real! Some missed opportunities are irreplaceable, and some misunderstandings between them have proven near-fatal, but for He Jichen, he isn’t just a pretty face—he’s an opportunist. They may have lost their prime years together, but He Jichen is more than willing to spend his remaining years with her. If only she would just trust him… Will Ji Yi be able to find true love in this life? Can she outmaneuver all the snakes plotting her downfall? Only time will tell...

A series of questions were asked, all of them filled with concern.
Guan Xi winked at Bai Xiaomi. "I think it's okay. "
Mu Yixun asked simply, "the results? "
Guan Xi said, "okay! "
Bai Xiaomi:"..."
The two of them were a little lost in their conversation.
But if XI XI said it was okay, would it work?
Guan Xi was the sixth person to audition, and the seventh person should go in next. Previously, the person in front came out, and the person behind immediately went in.
However, when Guan Xi came out this time, the staff did not call the seventh person to go in.
At this moment, the discussion in the audition room was also in full swing.
Yun He changed the gloomy expression he had when he saw the audition. He looked at the producer and director Li and said firmly,
"There's no need for another audition. Yuyao will choose that Guan Xi from before. "
The producer did not have any objections to the decision of Guan Xi. After all, Guan Xi was the Emperor Shang's own person, and it would be best if she could go on.
However, he still did not understand. After the first audition, Yun he was very excited. After the second audition, even director Li was also excited.
"Teacher Yun He, is that Guan Xi really that good? "
The second segment was the scene of Princess Yuyao's death. Although the girl just now was very good at crying, to be able to make teacher Yun he so strongly request to use her, it was really quite curious.
"good, that's simply too good. "
Yun He said, "you don't know that in my book, 'city-toppling Beauty' , although Yuyao is not the female lead, she is the most painstaking and outstanding role. "
The producer was puzzled. "But shouldn't the most outstanding role be the female lead? "
"No. "
Yun He shook her head "Nowadays, when it comes to literary creation, most of the time, in order to cater to the public's tastes, the female lead is portrayed in the same way. In order to match the IP address, when I wrote about the female lead, I had also changed my face. However, the female supporting role is different. It's highly malleable. In 'city-toppling one' , the most flesh-and-blood character is Yuyao. "
A naive and unruly little princess who stood high and mighty. In the later stages of the movie, the character had undergone a huge change.
The change in her mood was also huge.
As for Guan Xi, she acted perfectly in both of the auditions.
In the first scene, she could see an innocent little princess.
The second time, Yun he remembered that Guan Xi's eyes were slightly red. She stared coldly at the air and slowly asked, "Ah Mu, have you really never loved me? "
It was clearly a cold tone, but it made one's heart ache for no reason. The despair and madness in her eyes were perfect.
Her superb acting skills were only so-so.
Yun He looked at director Li. "Director Li, the Yuyao in my heart is her. What do you think? "
Director Li also liked Guan Xi in his heart and was very satisfied.
However, just like Guan Xi's understanding of Director Li, this director was always striving for perfection. Since she had called for ten auditions today, she would finish all the auditions.
"there are still four left. "
Director Li said, "let's see if there are still four left. If there aren't any more outstanding ones, she will be the one! "
Yun He did not object when she heard this.
Guan Xi would be the one to be chosen.
It was impossible for there to be any more outstanding ones.
Soon, the remaining four auditioners went in one by one and came out after the auditions.
The remaining four auditions were very fast. After about ten minutes, the people outside did not hear the director's angry voice anymore.
After the ten auditions were over, the staff told them to wait outside.
They waited for the few people who were auditioning to discuss the results.
The few people who were auditioning were a little surprised.

[ it's over! ] His face was expressionless and cold. This was the evaluation of Xiao Jiuyan from the entire s nation.
As for Guan Xi, other than the above points, this man was also a pervert who liked to bully others.
Guan Xi felt that the most unlucky thing in her life was that she had a face that looked exactly like Gu Wenxi's and married Xiao Jiuyan for Gu Wenxi.
She thought that she would be able to get a divorce in two years. Who knew that this man would spoil her so much!
Guan Xi said, "Master Jiu, I... We should be able to get a divorce, right? "
"Huh? " The man narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Guan Xi was terrified. "9th Master, please let me be your wife forever. "
This little wife of his was a fool!
[1V1, Gao Tian Chong Wen ]

"Oh... Thank you"

"I'm sorry, but I saw the brand on the armband. Are you by any chance a dancer?"

"Yeah..."

"That's cool! Do you know that there are several idol auditions today? Even GWO Entertainment Company are taking in trainees!"

"Oh, I'm auditioning..."

"Wow! You can sing! I'm also going to audition! That makes us instant friends! I was worried I'd be the only one and suddenly face a large number of competitors! I really wanted a friend who might just say 'Good Luck!' Well, do you think the auditions might be hard?"

"Yeah..."

"Same! I'm really scared too! I heard there will be several participants who are from acting schools and competitions!"

"Oh..." Lucas's mood darkened. He knew it'll be hard, but immediately being exposed to the fierce vying made his confidence sink slightly.

"Well, I have a small advantage though, that is, I'm 14! I finished my compulsory education and ran away! I can enter a training program for 2 years, debut when I'm 17 and bam!"

Lucas suddenly went full-concentration mode.

I've been dancing for a long time, so I can say I'm quite flexible and I can perform a lot of complicated dance moves.
Stage fear... that's fine.
Coordination, I don't know... I've never danced with someone else...

I should go practice too... my muscles feel tense suddenly...

.

...
....
"I'm Jason, nice to meet you!"
"What's your name?"

"Your name?"

"Ah-what?"

"Sorry, I was talking too much. The name's Jason, your name?"

"Ah, Lucas..."

'Cool! Oh wait, where are you staying?"

"Mapel Water Hotel..."
"That's where most of the people auditioning stay! You're so well-informed! But I can't accompany you, my aunt has a house in the capital, I'm staying there. See you later! Good luck on the auditions!"

"Good luck..."

"Bye-bye!"

"Bye..."

"Byeeee!"

"..."

"Bye Lucas"

"..."

Jason waved happily and ran away. 

And Lucas after a barrage of thoughts...

What the heck... just happened?

The moment he woke up, Eric's head felt as heavy as a mountain. He shook it a few times to get rid of the feeling, and once he had taken note of his surroundings, he smiled as he sat up. It was already past nine in the morning.
 
This was the Williams' residence second-floor bedroom, the blazing summer sun rays were streaming unhindered through the south balcony's French doors. It was already August and you could feel Los Angeles' warmth way before noon.
 
It's been half a month since his rebirth, and Eric had been busy with all sorts of things. He hadn't even had the time to act as a tourist before jumping into the Hollywood circle.
 
He laid back down and looked around him.
 
The bedroom was large, more than thirty square meters. Even if you included his bed, wardrobe, desk and some random antiques, it still felt empty.
 
Ralph had wanted to divide it into two separate rooms but refrained since only their father and son duo lived there. Until death, he had never attempted to remarry either.
 
Eric wondered if all drinking addicts were the same, burdened by similar heart-rending pasts.
 
When he got down from the second floor, it took him half an hour to tidy up the mess in the living room from yesterday's party, and after taking his breakfast, he drove out.
 
He spent several hours visiting music shops and finally settled on a Strauss piano. He left behind his address to have it delivered and purchased a thick stack of books on music arrangements from the bookstore nearby.
 
It wasn't done on a whim or because Eric wanted to become a singer, it was to prepare for future movies' soundtracks. He had so many classic movies in mind, and if he wanted to replicate them to perfection, he couldn't neglect that point. He had to at least understand arrangements to some degree or he'd be a laughing stock among those music professionals.
 
Hollywood was different from China. In China, directors would often just find a musician, listen to his works, and if they liked something, they'd shake hands and be done with it.
 
But in Hollywood, original soundtracks were an integral part of movies. Not just the background music, but even the theme songs were enough to become classics. Like "Unchained Melody" from Ghost, "New Divide" from Transformers, "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic, "Young and Beautiful" from The Great Gatsby, "Let it Go" from Frozen, as well as Juno's entire album.
 
He returned home with his new books. The delivery men soon arrived and the piano was set up in the study at the west side of the living room. Well, although it was called a study, there wasn't a single bookshelf there, just a large desk and other miscellaneous stuff. It used to be Ralph's, and he never had a reading habit, so all of Eric's books were in his room upstairs.
 
After the piano was in place, he had to tune it. As Eric sat on the bench and placed his fingers on the keys, the delivery men didn't try to hide the ridicule in their eyes. He ignored them and started playing "Happy Birthday". After playing for a while, he glanced at the amazed delivery men. Even in his past life, Eric's piano skills could be considered great.
 
As revenge for their contempt, he cut their tips in half. The several delivery men didn't notice that and the tall white one muttered to himself once they were in the car: "Strauss, ah, Strauss! That's worth at least 20,000 US dollars." His voice was heartbreakingly wistful. If Eric had heard it, he would've probably felt ashamed at his earlier gesture. 
 
...
 
"Audition? What audition ?" Eric asked in puzzlement: "Penny, hasn't my role already been decided ?"
 
For a few days, Eric studied music every day and practiced basketball. Three days after he had gotten used to this routine, he received a phone call from Penny Marshall.
 
"Of course, Eric. What I meant was for you to be present during the auditions of other roles. After all, you're the writer, you could offer some advice, right ?"
 
Eric knew he would only be able to give his opinion and that the final decision wouldn't be his, but he still readily agreed to Penny's offer, this was a good way to earn some experience.
 
Driving to the Fox studios, he saw Penny and James. The casting was a really important part, so of course, the director and producer had to be present. There were also several other staff members, but Eric was the youngest.
 
It was still a good ten minutes before the beginning of the auditions, so Penny Marshall took the initiative to chat with Eric about some 17 Again matters.
 
"With BIG's success, the Twentieth Century Fox has high hopes for this movie, they've given us a budget of 20 million US dollars. They'd like to release it by Thanksgiving, so we have two weeks to make all our necessary preparations and finish the filming before the end of the school holidays."
 
Eric thanked the staff member who gave him the list of auditioning actors, then said to Penny: "If everything goes smoothly, three months should be enough to wrap everything up, the movie has barely any CG, so it shouldn't take that long."
 
Penny Marshall nodded: "Indeed, but we also need to set aside some time to promote the movie."
 
"Right, Penny, for which roles are they auditioning today?" Eric asked.
 
"We've invited Dan Aykroyd and Susan Sarandon for the adult Mike & Scarlett O'Donnell, and James recommended a friend for the role of Ned. Today it's mainly about Mike's children, as well as several other teenagers, so I think we should let you take a look."
 
Although Eric already knew the final decision wouldn't be his, when he heard that most of the actors had already been decided, he was somewhat depressed. Fortunately, Penny told him that they kept Eric's description of the characters in mind when they chose them. As for Ned's role, James Brooks wouldn't joke around with a 20 million dollars project, so the actor he settled on shouldn't be too shabby.
 
Eric still felt a bit stifled and unwilling as he secretly vowed that he wouldn't let that happen again in the future. Being marginalized left him with a bad aftertaste.
 
He wasn't in the mood to keep chatting with Penny, but the latter didn't seem to notice his gloomy expression as she went towards James to discuss something in a low voice.
 
The auditions began, and after 7 or 8 people, Eric finally met someone he was familiar with: Brad Pitt. And he was even auditioning for the role of Alex.
 
Alex's original appearance was that of a weak and feeble guy, and Eric remembered thinking how it was hard to believe that someone like him could suddenly mysteriously shine on the court.
 
He reckoned that the only reason they chose a skinny boy instead of a tall and handsome male, was because they were worried that Zac Efron would be outshined with his 1m75 stature, as it was somewhat short for a caucasian male.
 
Brad Pitt was 25 years old right now but he could pass as a high-school student without a problem. Eric pictured his tall and strong stature getting bullied, then owning everyone on the basketball court; it was at least less far-fetched than the original. Besides, Eric was convinced that his performance would not be outshined by Brad Pitt.
 
When the latter would become famous, people would still talk about how he played Eric Williams' son, how awesome was that?
 
While his lips curled into a smile, he studied the remaining list and tried to spot celebrities from his previous life.
 
He looked at the list which contained more than a dozen actresses' personal information and stopped at the first name on the list, and his chin almost fell off. Angelina Jolie! Ah, it looked like the whole family was in attendance today!
 
He remembered that Jolie should have just graduated from a performing arts school and that she would start her modeling career next year, he had no idea what she was doing on Maggie's auditions' list.
 
Caucasian women mature very early, and Jolie's profile picture was that of a thirteen-year-old slim blonde-haired girl with iconic lips, who exuded a type of wild aura. Eric wasn't looking forward to her performance as she was seriously too young, she probably only got to audition thanks to her father, Jon Voight.
 
While he kept searching, Eric found a very interesting girl.
 
"Hey, Penny," Eric turned around and asked: "What's up with Drew Barrymore? You know, after how she's been behaving for the past couple of years… I don't think she's suitable for a campus comedy ?"
 
Penny Marshall smiled helplessly: "Steven recommended her. That other woman shamelessly kept begging him so many times that he was tired of it, so in the end, he recommended Drew. He also implied that we don't have to take his recommendation into account when she auditions."
 
"Steven Spielberg ?"
 
Penny Marshall nodded: "Yeah, he is Drew's godfather."
 
Eric sighed, the woman Penny mentioned with an undisguised tone of disgust should be Drew Barrymore's greedy mother. In those short few seconds of conversation, Eric was able to get a better understanding of Hollywood. It wasn't anything like how the media or people had described it in his past life; fair and transparent. Here, it was all about connections.
 
Penny Marshall patted Eric's shoulder and said: "Alright, Eric let's start."
 
Eric had the list of the line up in hand as he waited for the auditions to start.
 
He initially thought he would just sit down and provide additional comments, eventually even ask some symbolical questions, he didn't expect that when the first actor came in, Penny would face him with a smile and say: "Eric, you go and perform this scene with Mr. Wolfson."
 
Eric shrugged, glanced at the script, and stepped forward.
 
...
 
Once the fifth actor was out of the audition room, Eric sat back in his seat and jokingly complained: "Penny, when you called me to be a referee, I didn't think it would be on the basketball court."
 
"Ha, nice analogy! Alright don't be mad Eric, it was James' idea. He kept whining about how I canceled your acting classes, and so he thought of this method to make you practice your acting skills."
 
Eric pretended to be angry as he stared at James Brooks and said: "Why didn't you tell me about it?"
 
"Don't you know now?" Penny Marshall asked with a smile.
 
"Whatever..." Eric was left speechless.

An advertising director is reborn in 1988 Hollywood as an eighteen-year-old blond-haired westerner named Eric Williams.

From then on, he starts writing movie scripts and television songs, becomes skilled in directing every kind of film, wins over all kinds of female celebrities, and takes the path to becoming a Hollywood legend.

"Hello everyone, I am Li Xiaolu the antagonist for this movie. " Li Xiaolu calmly greeted the reporters in her magnetic voice with Yang Mi standing behind her. 

Excitement surgery within everyone's body. They can finally satisfy their curiosity. 

"Miss Li, have you signed a contract with Marvellous Universe? " 

" Yes. I have signed a contract with them. And Sister Yang Mi is my manager. " Li Xiaolu replied. 

"Miss Li, you are really very beautiful. Which designer is this dress from? " 

Li Xiaolu smiled, "Actually it's a new designer called LX. It's her design... " 

LX?  Now, who is this person? We never heard of it before. Almost, everyone wanted to know more about this designer who made such a beautiful gown. 

"Miss Li, is it the truth that this is your first movie and you have never acted in any movie before? " a reporter asked. 

When Li Xiaolu heard the question, she glanced at Li Roulan who was glaring at her. If looks could kill, then Li Xiaolu would have been probably dead by now. 

Giving a small laugh she nodded, "Yes, This is my first time acting in a movie. I have never acted in any movie before. "

"Miss Li, you were mentioned in a recent post online. What are your thoughts about that? " Looking at Yang Mi's cold eyes the reporter asked carefully. 

"The thing written in that post is all lies. I did go for the auditions and because they recognized my acting they selected me for this role and not for any other reason. " 

From the sides, Xifeng glared looking at Li Xiaolu. She signaled the reporter and he nodded his head in understanding. 

"Miss Li so the rumors of you sleeping with the higher-ups are all false? " the reporter asked. 

"Yes, they are all false...." 

"But Miss Li why would someone say such things about you in a post if it is not the truth?"

Li Xiaolu looked at the reporter sharply. It looks like somebody paid him to make things difficult for me. 

"You mean to say that if anybody posts anything online, then it would become truth. How ridiculous!!" 

"Then why would somebody try to slander your name, even when you are not even famous? " he asked. 

Everybody nodded their head at his question. Yeah, when you are a famous actress then if something like this comes up then one could say that somebody is trying to frame them. 

But, when you are a newbie and have no competition then why would someone try to slander you? Unless what they have said is all true? 

"Yes Miss Li, you have not even started your career then why would someone try to frame you? " 

"I think that post must be the truth, she surely must have slept with someone... " a fan commented. 

"Just looks at that face of hers, don't you think she looks like a vixen. She must have seduced somebody to get the role. " 

"Or maybe she is some rich man's mistress..."

Hearing all the comments from the crowd Li Roulan smirked. Slut, even if you try to become an actress, it is not that easy? Only a slut like you would do this kind of degrading things. 

Li Xiaolu smiled hearing all the comments while Yang Mi was furious. She wanted to shout at every one of them but she controlled herself. 

" Miss Li what do you have to say? Did you really sleep with someone forgetting the role?" he asked harshly. 

Li Xiaolu swept her gaze across everyone and smiled, " I would like to ask everyone, do you all think that the artist under Marvellous Universe needs to sleep with someone to get the role? " 

Everybody shook their heads. They clearly knew the answer. It was a big NO! 

" So Miss Li are you trying to say that you used power to get the role? Don't you think it's a bit unfair? " 

"Miss Li you are a rookie with no acting experience but there were others like Miss Xifeng at the auditions. I think they are much more experienced and talented than you. Using your power to snatch their role, don't you think it's unfair to them? " 

"Also, this particular role is very tough to portray. Don't you think it would be unfair to all the people who are going to watch this movie? "

"Would they like somebody with no acting experience to do the main antagonist role of the movie? " the reporter fired questions one by one at Li Xiaolu.

"No... we do not want a rookie to acting this role. Change the actress. " 

"Yes, we do not want these kinds of people here. Give this role to Miss Xifeng. We want justice for her. " 

Li Xiaolu remained unfazed under all of their accusations while two people were enjoying seeing her in plight. 

Narrowing her eyes Li Xiaolu looked at the reporter, " Mr. Reporter can I ask you something? " 

Looking at Yang Mi's cold eyes he felt nervous for a bit but he nodded, "Yes Miss Li?" 

"You keep on saying that I have slept with someone to get the role or I have used the power of Marvellous Universe to get the role. Do you have any proof? " 

"The person who had posted such false accusations, I would like to ask him. Does he have any proof? "

On the day of her marriage, Li Xiaolu was forced to watch her beloved younger sister marry her fiancé. 

Betrayed by her love, her family, she was killed. However, she is reborn to three years before where it all began. She aims to take her revenge while also fulfilling her dreams at the same time. 

Still one day, she falls for her sister's underhanded schemes where she meets the domineering CEO. 

Zhe Han: "You dare to run away after sleeping with me?"

Li Xiaolu: "Umm... can you consider it a one night stand?"

Zhe Han: "Take responsibility."

Li Xiaolu: "What???"

Zhe Han: "Marry me.."

Li Xiaolu: "....."

Qiao Moyu asked with uncertainty, "Sister Wu, are you sure they were asking me to audition? There's no mistake?"

"Yes, they invited you. They specifically mentioned your name." Sister Wu further explained, "The official blog for 'First Light of Dawn' has been updated. Go and check it out."

"Alright." After hanging up, she used her phone to search up the official website for the drama.

The journalist, Guan Wei wrote: "The drama 'Light Before Dawn' will be directed by Feng Xuan and will begin production by September 1. Starting next Monday, casting auditions will officially start, and will be held for the following acting positions: Female no.1, female no.2, Male no.2, and all supporting actors. The male lead's actor has already been confirmed. His name will be announced together with the actress playing Female no.1 once the auditions are completed. We welcome auditioners and ask that you follow the posted schedule."

Not only were the novel fans raging from excitement, there were also many actors who posted to show their support.

And the director, Feng Xuan, boasts a great reputation in the industry. He's famous for releasing a smash hit drama every year, and every one of his productions outshines the ratings of all other TV dramas that run within the same time period. As a super producer, he became sought after by actors looking to get their big break.

However, he was very demanding when selecting actors for his works. Rather than focusing on a star's fame, he checks to see if his or her skill is suitable for the role.

Sometimes, the person who passes the audition is an unknown actor, who soon jumps into the entertainment spotlight because he or she was chosen for the role.

Qiao Moyu transmigrated into this world just recently. Although she had heard of Feng Xuan's name on passing, she never thought that other stars could be so crazy about him.

As she scrolled down the rows of comments, she found that all of them were comments posted by front-line stars.

"Replying to the comment above, Film Emperor Ye shouldn't be able to pick up another drama series. He said the reason why he chose 'Sheng Shi' was because he and the writer were friends."

"I hope the leading actress is Xing Wanshuang. There's no better choice, her acting has been great since her debut as a child star!"

Feng Xuan said with curiosity: "I'd like to hear about it in detail."

Father Ye tapped his fingers on the table: "You can add more ambiguous scenes between the male and female leads. What you have right now is good, but it's still a bit lacking.
