Chapter 518: I’ll Grant Your Every Request
Li Beinian, admittedly, used as much strength as she could muster.
However, Mu Xichen didn’t even flinch. He leaned towards her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’m not tired.”
“F*** off!” Li Beinian couldn’t help cursing. “Who gives a damn if you’re tired!”
“I’ve got a lot of energy in me still.”
Li Beinian was speechless.
She shut her eyes and turned her back on him, ignoring him. Then, she lowered her head and drank some soup.
Unexpectedly, he moved closer and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll grant your every request.”
Almost choking on the soup, she placed the bowl back down on the table and wiped her mouth.
Did he mean grant her every request, or fulfill his every desire?
Seriously!
She realized that the longer she was with him, the filthier her mind was becoming.
Mu Xichen, on the other hand, said with an innocent expression, “What’s wrong?”
“Get lost if you’re done eating!”
Drawing back his lips, the man went back to eating.
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Mingye was almost in tears.
Mom, I want to go home… T_T
…
“Stinging Vine” was a huge investment not only because it was a military theme production.
Director Du Ceng was well-known for being harsh and a nit-picker. He also had a foul mouth.
Rumor had it that countless actors had almost given up acting because of his harsh words. There had also been a few classic examples of actors who had fallen into depression from suffering his cruel scoldings.
But even so, a perpetual stream of young actors desired to work under his direction.
Even if it was only a small role. But those who survived him were definitely strong players.
If an actor could even be an insignificant extra in Du Ceng’s cast, he would no doubt be highly valuable anywhere else he went.
The prerequisite was, of course, one had to survive the man.
Whether by one’s own strength or by luck, once they had completed the movie, their position in the circle would be raised significantly.
Liu Wei had been collaborating with Du Ceng for years, and between them, they had won multiple awards. They were both exceptional heavyweights in the circle.
Apart from the female lead, Du Ceng was still selecting the actors for the rest of the roles.
Everyone knew he had high standards, so those who didn’t have enough substance easily kept away from even trying.
Li Beinian, however, didn’t expect to run into an all-too-familiar person during the auditions.
Li Xueqing had a new assistant who seemed bright and competent. However, standing next to each other, of course, the latter was completely overshadowed.
Obviously, Li Xueqing was a lot more outstanding.
When Cheng Su saw Li Xueqing, he whispered, “Why is she here? She’ll never make it given her acting skills.”
Bai Yuan felt the same way and replied, “How long do you think she’ll last?”
“Two minutes.”
“Three minutes.”
The two of them said in unison and exchanged a look. Finally, they decided to ask Li Beinian.
She drew back her lips and said casually, “We’ll find out.”
Today’s audition was completely confidential and random.
The casting director would select the actor, who would then be called into the audition room. It seemed that there would be ten sets of scripts for the actor to pick at random. The actor would be given half an hour to understand the script and five minutes to provide an interpretation.
With such prerequisites, few would meet the director’s standards.
Of course, Li Xueqing noticed Li Beinian’s presence as well.
She looked across from behind her sunglasses. Li Beinian clearly saw the disdain on the other woman’s face, just by the twitching of her lips.
Following the popular broadcast of “Legend Of The Dragon Pearl”, as well as Dawn Entertainment’s huge promotion efforts, Li Xueqing was now much more valued than Li Beinian as an actress.
This sort of value was, however, just an illusion.
Li Beinian’s target, in this instance, was the supporting role.
Of course, Li Xueqing also had no interest in any other role.
