Chapter 244: Where’s Qin Ling?
Director Zhang had already decided that he wouldn’t show any favors or partialness to his niece.
Yet, because of Xu Lei’s sudden appearance at the audition, he just broke one of the principles he established upon himself.
But now, even his niece, made him lose face!
The crew saw that Director Zhao was having trouble with his niece, the supposed second female lead in the movie, and they couldn’t help but look at the closed doors of the filming studio where the rest of the actors and actresses were waiting.
Deep inside, they already knew that Director Zhao just had lost some points in the duel for the second female lead role.
Xu Lei slowly came out of the dressing room, wearing a light blue dress. She had her hair done with hair extensions attached to her hair to make it look longer. The movie was set in a historical tone and so the dresses and hair had to match to the setting. After looking at the crowd of actors, actresses and extras at the waiting area, she walked towards a young girl in a maid’s outfit.
With a smile on her face, she asked after looking at the clock against the wall, "Hello, has the ceremony still not started?"
Mao Hualing, the third female lead, heard a euphonic voice from behind her. She looked at the person speaking to her, and nodded dazedly, "Yes, but there seems to be trouble."
Xu Lei blinked her thick, full eyelashes and asked innocently, "What trouble?"
Mao Hualing gulped and looked around her before lowering her voice. She whispered, "Meng Chen and Qin Ling still haven’t come. Meng Chen already said that she’ll be here any minute. But Qin Ling... I don’t know if she’ll arrive on time."
Mao Hualing paused and shut her mouth. She heard of the gossip in the movie during the audition. Of course, she knew that Xu Lei was here to contend against Qin Ling for the second lead role.
