After hearing Murong Qiao’s words, Ning Xiunian’s tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly.
“Since the audition is being held, it proves that there’s still a chance.”
Murong Qiao patted his shoulder to rea.s.sure him. “Just work hard to prepare.
Besides, even if you can’t be chosen, there’s still a lot of work waiting for you in the company.”
This slightly teasing tone made the negative atmosphere a lot better.
Seeing this, Meng Yang nodded in agreement. “I was just saying.”
The audition will be held later. I won’t disturb you from reading the script.” He made way for the other party.
Meng Yang was the last of the five to arrive. In the waiting room, the four corners were occupied. As for Yang Ming, who had previously said that he would definitely win, he seemed to be talking to another person.
The two of them were not loud. From Murong Qiao’s angle, she could only vaguely see that the person was trying to please Yang Ming.
The room was silent. About ten minutes later, an a.s.sistant pushed open the door and walked in. After looking around, he called out his name.
“Meng Yang, you audition first.” The other party directly called out to him.
Meng Yang stood up. “I’ll be right there.”
The audition period was neither long nor short, but it made the few people who were still waiting a little worried.
Murong Qiao glanced at the other people who were a little uneasy and nervous. Then, she looked at Ning Xiunian, who was focused on reading the script and preparing. She didn’t think too much about it.
Thinking about how she had come over early today to accompany him for the interview, Murong Qiao took out his phone and glanced at it. As expected, she saw that Huo Yichen had sent her a message half an hour ago.
[I have something on at the company at the last minute. I’ll go over first. I’m sorry I can’t pick you up later.]
Although it was only a few words, Murong Qiao could see Huo Yichen’s eagerness.
He was not someone who liked to skip appointments. If it was not a big deal, he would definitely not make such last-minute changes.
Murong Qiao frowned worriedly. The first thing that rose in her heart was not because she was unhappy about the other party breaking his promise, but because she was worried that Huo Yichen had encountered some trouble.
She pursed her lips. The bright expression on her face that had just encouraged Ning Xiu Nian no longer existed. In its place was the worry of recalling the news a few days ago.
Forget it, she was done with her work here. She could go to the Huo Corporation to take a look.
After all, Murong Qiao had already freed up an entire day today. With Jiang Chi at the company, there was no need to worry.
She typed a reply to Huo Yichen and saw Ruan Ying’s message suddenly appear on the top of the screen.
[Qiaoqiao, are you busy today? Shen Xi and I came out to play and even bought you a gift!]
At the same time that Ruan Ying sent the message, she also sent a selfie of herself and Shen Xi.
The two of them seemed to be in the mall. Murong Qiao opened the photo and recognized that this was the Yunkai Building beside the Huo Corporation.
Since it was on the way, she agreed.
Just as Murong Qiao was typing a reply, three people had also auditioned one after another. Now, only Ning Xiunian and Yang Ming were left.
“There’s still a lot of time. Who wants to try first?” The a.s.sistant walked in and asked.
Perhaps it was because the first three people were not satisfactory, but the audition time was far faster than expected.
Ning Xiunian put down the script and was about to say that he should go first. Coincidentally, he’d found a bit of the inspiration for the role.
However, Yang Ming seemed to have seen through what he wanted to say and spoke first.
111 do it.” He stood up with a smile and walked to his a.s.sistant. “Let’s go.” “Alright.” The a.s.sistant was not slow.
Murong Qiao, who was attracted by this voice, looked up and glanced in the direction the a.s.sistant had left, but she happened to catch the other party’s disdainful gaze.
It was as if he was saying that this was already in his bag and asking Ning Xiunian to dispel his stupid thoughts.
Murong Qiao watched the other party leave arrogantly, then looked at the calm Ning Xiunian.
Her own artistes were still the best. They were not affected by these things at all.
She felt inexplicably proud.
Meanwhile, Yang Ming followed behind the a.s.sistant. After pa.s.sing through a corridor, he arrived at the audition room.
Just start when you’re ready. The scene is here.”
The a.s.sistant brought him to the designated place and explained the situation. Then, he stood at the side and became silent.
There were three people sitting in the room. In the middle was naturally Director Zhang, who everyone was familiar with. He looked down at the script with an unknown expression. After Yang Ming entered, he didn’t look at the other party at all.
People in the arts were a little neurotic, and so was Director Zhang. This was something everyone knew.
The person sitting on Director Zhang’s right was Director Yang from Director Zhang’s studio. In terms of status, he was only inferior to Director Zhang and the a.s.sistant director.
Yang Ming walked over and frowned slightly when he saw the white scene. Clearly, he was a little dissatisfied. However, when he thought of this opportunity, he still smiled and walked to the center of the venue.
While he was preparing, he met Director Yang’s eyes. After receiving the hidden affirmation in the other party’s eyes, he relaxed a lot.
“It’s a love scene from the seventh page. Try it,” Director Zhang said.
Yang Ming recalled for a moment before entering a state of mind.
The audition room and the waiting area were separated by an entire corridor, so they couldn’t hear anything from the other side.
After Murong Qiao told Ruan Ying the time to meet later, she turned to look at
Ning Xiunian, who was already resting with his eyes closed.
“Are you nervous?” she couldn’t help but ask.
Although she was not here for the audition, sitting here with Ning Xiunian, Murong Qiao saw that only the two of them were left in the room and couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
When Ning Xiunian heard her question, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. “It’s alright.”
“To be honest, I don’t think Director Zhang will like Yang Ming.”
It was only because they were alone that Ning Xiunian dared to speak so boldly.
Murong Qiao thought of Ning Xiunian’s arrogance and disdain before he left just now and agreed with his words.
At the very least, if she was the one who wrote the script, she would definitely not choose such a person during the casting.
I still have something on later, so I won’t be leaving with you,” Murong Qiao said.
Ning Xiunian replied, “Just nice, I have to change my schedule too.”
While the two of them were discussing, they heard footsteps approaching from outside.
Probably because the audition was over, Ning Xiunian closed the script and stood up to take a deep breath to calm himself down. After adjusting his condition, he exchanged glances with Murong Qiao and reached out to push open the door to walk out.
The moment he opened the door, he b.u.mped into the a.s.sistant and Yang Ming.
Ning Xiunian said calmly, “Is it my turn to audition?”
Yes, this way, please.” The a.s.sistant gestured.
Murong Qiao saw Ning Xiunian walking towards the other end of the corridor.
Seeing that the a.s.sistant was still there, she asked.
“May I ask when the results will be out after the audition?”
There would probably be a traffic jam at noon later. Thinking of her future arrangements, Murong Qiao asked.
If the results wouldn’t take long, she would wait with Ning Xiunian. If it was going to take a long time, she would leave now.
It wasn’t that Murong Qiao hadn’t partic.i.p.ated in any auditions before, but there were only five people this time, so she simply asked.
However, before the a.s.sistant could answer, Yang Ming, who had just finished his audition, spoke up and s.n.a.t.c.hed the answer.
What’s the use of asking this? Don’t tell me you really think Ning Xiunian can
be chosen?”
