Chapter 242: Pa.s.sed The Audition
“Don’t worry. Auntie Nangong made a lot of effort to make this brand. She won’t ruin her original work for personal reasons. Given Ling Sheng’s character, she definitely won’t be an amba.s.sador.” Gu Shen was very sure. “Auntie Nangong thinks highly of you.”
Luo Xin smiled. “If you say it’s me, it’s me. We’ll have to see what Auntie Nangong thinks. By the way, I heard that Ling Sheng auditioned for ‘Secret’. Is she the female lead?”
Gu Shen thought of Ling Sheng and mocked her. “How can that be? The female lead has already been confirmed. She’s Hua Ying’s daughter, Song Xi.”
“That’s good. I was afraid that if she was the female lead, she’d ruin your reputation again.” After saying that, Luo Xin probed, “Director Chen hasn’t asked you to audition for his new movie yet?”
Director Chen’s real name was Chen Mo. He was a famous Chinese director and scriptwriter in Hollywood. At 25 years old, he had won the Best Director Award for his debut film “Valley” and had been hailed as the most talented director of the 21st century.
At 30 years old, he had filmed a landmark sci-fi film called “Big Bang in the Universe”. The global box office sales had exceeded $3 billion, breaking the global box office record.
This year, Chen Mo, who was only 34 years old, was preparing to return to his roots and film a Chinese drama. The entire lineup would be actors and actresses from China, and filming would start in a few days. Many capable actors had already received an audition invitation.
“Perhaps I don’t meet his casting requirements. Director Chen only chooses the best crew, including seniors of the film industry, and the female lead is at the level of a Best Actress. Since you’ve been invited, you must grab this opportunity.” Gu Shen was lying when he said he had no regrets.
Director Chen Mo’s films were all premium, not to mention that he had returned to China with a script he had painstakingly prepared for five years to get the highest award in the world.
Initially, he had been brooding over the fact that Director Chen had not sent him an audition invitation. Later, he had heard that the male lead was at the level of a Best Actor. His status was sufficient, but his ranking was not enough.
“Yes, I’ll do my best.” Luo Xin nodded with a determined gaze. The female leading role would definitely be hers.
She had already asked around. Director Chen was very satisfied with her appearance and had even complimented her for being a suitable female lead. Otherwise, he would not have added her to the list of Best Actors.
Becoming the female lead of Director Chen’s new movie was akin to winning the internationally-renowned Best Actress Award. She was on a different level from a Best Actress Award winner in China. After becoming the female lead, she would be able to appear on the world stage and enter Hollywood.

Lu Yubai paid for the clothes and led Ling Sheng around. They bought clothes, shoes, and bags until they were satisfied. After they paid, the shop would deliver them directly to their home.
Lu Yubai had initially decided that no matter how angry Sixth Brother was, he would go over to scrounge food and teach his eldest niece how to put on the clothes. However, he had received a call at the last minute and regrettably had to leave.
In the car, Ling Sheng received a message from Hua Ying’s drama department. After confirming that she was the female lead, she was asked to prepare. The press conference for “Secret” would be held at six o’clock on Wednesday night.
Ling Sheng excitedly showed her father her phone. “Father, I pa.s.sed the audition.”
Huo Ci took a look at the message sent by Hua Ying. That brat’s eyes had lit up. It was obvious that she was asking for praise, but he did not praise her. She had inherited his genius acting skills. If she could not even get a role, she might as well leave the entertainment circle. He let out a breath. “You’re just the female lead.”
Ling Sheng did not mind his att.i.tude. Her smile became even happier as she patted her chest. “Please call me Tang Jinse in the future!”
Xiaoqi’s big eyes sparkled as he tried to flatter her. “Mommy is the best! I wish you all the best, Tang Jinse!”
