The audition this time was not publicized. Only the actors invited were qualified to get notified of the location to perform.
Other than Ning Xiunian and Yang Ming, three other male actors were also involved.
Murong Qiao was very concerned about this matter, so after she returned home, she looked for Ning Xiunian’s manager and asked for information about his opponents.
This was to prevent an awkward situation from happening when she arrived at the event location and couldn’t recognize the artistes.
Ning Xiunian and Yang Ming were both capable actors with honors. They were also the only two young people among the five of them.
As for the other three, they were all seniors among the capable actors. Although they were not as popular as the current Ning Xiunian and Yang Ming, they were slightly stronger than them.
Murong Qiao arrived at the event location at the agreed time and waited for him. When she took the elevator to the corresponding floor, there was a young man sitting on the chair on the left.
Murong Qiao originally wanted to walk over and greet him, but when she approached and saw that the other party seemed to be reading the script seriously, she dispelled this step and glanced around.
The first person she noticed was naturally Yang Ming, whom she had met at the award ceremony previously.
The other party seemed to be prepared this time. He had changed into a completely different style of clothes from the other day. He was wearing a long gauze-like robe and his makeup was also a little exquisite, seemingly accentuating the feminine and delicate look in his face.
After looking around, Murong Qiao originally wanted to sit beside Ning Xiunian, but she felt a very straightforward and undisguised gaze on her. Hence, she looked in the direction of the source and met Yang Ming’s gaze.
The moment the two of them looked at each other, Murong Qiao seemed to vaguely sense from the other party’s arrogant expression why Ning Xiunian didn’t like him.
At least in her heart, she still couldn’t bear Yang Ming’s bold probing gaze.
“Ignore him.” Ning Xiunian’s voice suddenly sounded beside her.
Murong Qiao subconsciously turned around. Ning Xiunian, who had left the script at some point, had broken free from his previous state.
Ning Xiunian seemed to be used to this. “From the beginning, he’s been looking at me twice every minute.”
“It must have been difficult for you to sit here and read the script for so long.” Murong Qiao’s words were sincere.
At the very least, if she had to read anything with such gazes on her, she would most likely not be able to concentrate.
Ning Xiunian sat on the chair and leaned back slightly, looking a little relaxed. “I’m used to reading scripts in all kinds of environments, so I don’t care about this.”
If he couldn’t focus when being stared at, how could he be an actor?
As the two of them spoke, after Murong Qiao entered, the elevator door opened again. This time, it was a boy with a wolf tail hairstyle.
The other party was dressed in a casual black and white outfit. Coupled with his slightly fashionable hairstyle, he looked especially young and energetic.
The moment Murong Qiao saw the other party’s face, the information and name she had seen yesterday appeared in her mind.
Meng Yang.
“You’re here too?” Without Ning Xiunian saying anything, the other party rushed over to greet them the moment he saw them.
Moreover, from his tone, he seemed to be very familiar with Ning Xiunian.
Ning Xiunian raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at him. “Hello, Senior Meng.”
He had called him senior sincerely this time.
Be it in terms of age or strength, Meng Yang was slightly higher. Ning Xiunian had worked with him a few times before, and the two of them could be considered familiar with each other.
“Why are you calling me senior? You make it sound like I’m going to be buried.” Meng Yang joked casually.
After Meng Yang greeted Ning Xiunian, his gaze passed the other party and landed on Murong Qiao, who was sitting behind him. He was a little curious. “This is your new boss? Why does she look even prettier than us artistes?”
“Hello.” Murong Qiao greeted the other party.
She looked a little lively and could win people’s favor. With the other party’s dressing and appearance, he looked very young. Therefore, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but wonder if the 30-year-old man she saw in the information was the same as the person in front of her.
Some celebrities’ youthful appearances really made people doubt the authenticity of their ages.
“I thought I was the only one who came over to fill the numbers. I suddenly feel much more at ease when I see you.” Meng Yang clearly said whatever he wanted to say without any scruples.
He picked a seat beside him without any burden and sat down. Then, he saw the script in Ning Xiunian’s hand.
Ning Xiunian noticed his gaze. “How did you conclude that we’re just filling the numbers?”
At this moment, the audition had yet to begin. They didn’t even know the attitudes of the director, screenwriter, and the others. It was too childish to say that they were only here to make the numbers.
“You’re not going to tell me that you don’t know, right?” Meng Yang pursed his lips matter-of-factly, indicating for Ning Xiunian to look at Yang Ming beside him.
Those who could participate in the audition this time were not small figures. They had been in the entertainment industry for a few years, so it wouldn’t take much effort for them to know some news.
“Before the audition was announced, many people said that Yang Ming was selected for the role. Moreover, my manager clearly told me that I’m here to accompany him this time and told me not to pay too much attention to it.”
Meng Yang clearly had a rotten mentality. He waved the brand new script in his hand. “I’ll go in and act out a part later and leave immediately. I advise you not to have any hopes.”
“Are you so sure that it’s him?” Murong Qiao couldn’t help but ask when she heard the other party’s confident tone.
She didn’t deliberately want to argue with the other party, but his completely certain tone and appearance of making a wasted trip really made her feel unavoidably unhappy.
Seeing that Murong Qiao asked this, Meng Yang thought that the other party was the kind of boss who only managed the company on the surface and didn’t know much about these things.
After all, although this was the first time the two of them had greeted each other, there were not many people in the entertainment industry who didn’t know that the boss of CG Company was the daughter of the Murong Family.
He looked in Yang Ming’s direction. After confirming that the other party couldn’t hear him, he carefully lowered his voice and explained.
“He’s affiliated with the people in Director Zhang’s studio previously and has a good relationship with them. From the looks of it, victory is in his grasp this time. He most likely learned about the internal news in advance.”
“He’s just here to go through the motions. Of course, we’re also here to go through the motions,” Meng Yang said bluntly.
However, there was still a difference between going through the motions.
They had to help him put on an act. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if word got out.
Ning Xiunian, who originally wanted to read the script seriously again and prepare well, couldn’t help but show a hint of hesitation when he heard Meng Yang say this.
They all knew what the industry was like. Since hard work was sometimes in vain, why did they have to spend so much effort to do this?
He had known Meng Yang for a long time, so Ning Xiunian had always believed a little of what he said.
Hearing the other party’s words and attitude, even Ning Xiunian’s heart wavered.
“If they had already confirmed it, there would be no need to audition here.”
However, Murong Qiao said, “Since they invited everyone, it means that Director Zhang still wants to choose people.”
An audition meant a fluctuation in opportunity..
