The audition location was in a shed in the suburbs, which was sparsely populated. I guess the crew didn't want to attract too much attention before filming began.

The person traveling with her was Qin Siyuan. She was very nervous and her hand holding Yu Zhi was sweating. For a moment, she couldn't figure out who was the one coming for the interview.

Yu Zhi arrived early, but even so, there were more than twenty people queuing in front of her, which shows how popular this movie is.

She glanced ahead briefly, then calmly turned her head back after a moment. She said to the nervous woman next to her, "Zhu Yaxian is here too, and Xiao Lingshan is here too."

Qin Siyuan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice what she said at first. She answered automatically as usual: "Oh, it's normal. After all, Director Lin's movies are always very good. They are also..."

"What?" Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it. "What are they doing here?"

Neither of these two people has the title of Best Actress, especially Zhu Yaxian, who has won all the awards she deserves. How can we compare them?

Yu Zhi shrugged her shoulders, sat on the stool beside her, and began to study the script that was full of notes.

Qin Siyuan was standing in front of her, rubbing her hands and looking forward, expecting that the two men with big heads might have gone to the wrong place. Unfortunately, they hadn't. Not only that, Zhu Yaxian even walked into the audition room at the respectful invitation of the assistant director.

Alas, Qin Siyuan sighed, just treat it as a training opportunity. Anyway, she still has a few scripts in her hands. Although they can't compare with Director Lin's, they are not much worse.

It's not that she doesn't trust her own artists, it's just that Yu Zhi is not a professional and has no experience. It's difficult, too difficult to compete with these first-line actors.

But the little girl seemed not to care at all. No matter how many people passed by her or whose name the assistant director called, she seemed not to hear it. She was focused on doing her own thing and didn't even raise her head.

"Yu Zhi."

Finally, about half an hour later, the assistant called her name.

Yu Zhi stood up, gave Qin Siyuan a reassuring look, then walked into the house with her back straight.

The room inside was not too big. There were about ten people sitting side by side in the front, who should be the senior management of the crew.

Lin Kuisheng was in the middle of these people, and when Yu Zhi's eyes met the person next to him, she was stunned.

Why is Shi Rui here? Isn’t he still filming?

But this stunned moment only lasted for a few seconds, and the little girl walked to the middle of the display area and introduced herself in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Lin Kuisheng nodded with satisfaction, poked the screenwriter on his other side, and when the screenwriter looked over, he whispered, "How is it?"

The screenwriter seemed stunned, and after a long while, he slowly replied, "Similar, very similar."

She looks too much like the arrogant and willful Seventh Princess Lu Rou, as if the character he created walked out of the script, making it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.

Director Lin stroked the stubble that had grown from working all night and replied, "When I first saw this girl, I had the same feeling as you."

In fact, it was not quite the same. When they first met, he just thought that Yu Zhi's appearance was very similar to the seventh princess in his imagination. Adding to that the relationship between her and Shi Rui, he naturally had some good feelings towards this girl.

But at that time, she seemed to be deliberately restraining herself, showing herself only humility and obedience. Now it is completely different. She has completely released her original appearance and has become the most dazzling presence in the entire room.

Shi Rui was closer to them. After hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but lower his head and curl the corners of his mouth. His eyes were full of pride for his own little girl.

Lin Kuisheng tapped the table with his index finger and said to Yu Zhi, "Then let's start with the scene where Lü Rou scolds the civil and military officials."

Yu Zhi put the script in her hand aside, then walked to the only empty chair in the room and sat down.

This scene tells the story of how Lu Rou truly began to establish her authority. It was also from this point on that she completed her transformation from her original gentleness and kindness to a sinister and vicious person.

The little girl didn't sit very straight, and even rested her chin on the armrest beside her. But even so, people didn't think she was indecent at all. Instead, they inexplicably developed a kind of worship towards her.

She seemed like a natural superior, born with dignity.

Seeing this amazing change, Lin Kuisheng pinched the thigh of the screenwriter next to him to express his excitement.

Under the gaze of everyone, the little girl spoke her lines.

"My lady, it seems like I haven't seen this kind of scene for a long time." She spoke lazily, but her tone was full of danger.

Hundreds of civil and military officials knelt in front of her, and no one even dared to raise their heads under her oppressive aura.

Lu Rou laughed sarcastically. She didn't know what the point of keeping these useless people who were greedy for pleasure was.

Her fingers clicked on the armrest of the chair beside her, making crisp sounds that were particularly obvious in the silent hall, as if they were knocking on the hearts of the people in front of her.

Leading the way was the Prime Minister, a man over fifty years old. He wiped the sweat dripping down his face and spoke tentatively, "Princess...what do you want?"

"What do I want?" Lu Rou lifted her sleeves, walked up to him, and stared into his eyes from above. "You killed my people, so I'll give you ten lives in exchange. Isn't that too much?"

There are only ten points, and the prime minister can naturally accept them. After all, for people like them, as long as they can protect themselves, the rest of the people are probably not even within their consideration.

Lu Rou had anticipated this scene, so she spoke nonchalantly, "I heard that the Prime Minister had a son today. How about exchanging his life for mine?"

"How can this be possible?" the prime minister said excitedly, "The one who died was just a lowly maid!"

"lowly?"

Lu Rou stretched out her legs and put her foot directly on his shoulder, which was a completely insulting gesture.

"Prime Minister, why don't you tell me what is lowly? Power and wealth are noble, while poverty is lowly. What you have learned about being an official and a human being has been learned by the dog. In my eyes, I am afraid that all the people here put together are not worth her life alone."

Despite being insulted like this, no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal. Even the prime minister who was being stepped on could only express his anger by trembling.

Lu Rou sighed, like a strong person lamenting the cowardice of the weak, and said, "Remember this, whoever I say is noble... is noble."

This scene ended here. Yu Zhi almost came out of her previous emotions after finishing her lines and stood up.

But the judges did take a long time to calm down, and only then, under Shi Rui's leadership, sparse applause broke out in the room.

Afterwards, the applause became more and more uniform and louder, and even people outside the door could hear the noise inside.

Qin Siyuan, who was standing outside, tilted her head in confusion, beginning to wonder if the person auditioning inside was actually her own artist...
