Upon entering the room, Yun Shudai discovered that not only Director Zhang, but also the producer and screenwriter were present, demonstrating their high regard for the drama.
Director Zhang was clearly familiar with the boss, and said with a smile, "Miaomiao, is this one of your artists?"
"Yes, he is excellent in every way, but he just lacks an opportunity."
"Alright, let's give it a try then."
The fourth female lead in this drama is a wealthy young lady from the Republican era. She comes from a privileged background and has a proud and arrogant personality. She likes the male lead, but he doesn't like her. He only marries her to cover up his true identity.
Of course, she's not the type to turn evil just because she doesn't like someone. She's proud but not domineering. If she doesn't like someone, she works hard to improve herself and become excellent. In the end, she didn't win the male lead's heart, but she unexpectedly captured the heart of the unremarkable third male lead and went abroad with him to develop their careers.
The director asked her to try out a scene, without specifying which one. Yun Shudai immediately put on airs and acted like a spoiled young lady.
She glanced coldly at the people in the room and said, "You don't like me? That's fine. I, Lin Jiaojiao, am not the kind of person who clings to others, but I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily either. One day, I will make you unable to take your eyes off me."
Her haughty expression and confident tone, revealing a beauty tinged with resentment and stubbornness, perfectly captured the charm of a young lady from the 1930s, astonishing everyone in the room, especially the screenwriter, who saw this as the Lin Jiaojiao he had envisioned.
They had already considered no fewer than twenty actresses for the fourth female lead, and some investors had even tried to get their hands on them, but none of them had met the director's expectations. Today, they were just giving Li Miaomiao a chance to audition, coinciding with the selection of the second male lead, and they didn't expect her to give them such a pleasant surprise. Coming back to their senses, they smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. It seems you've done a lot of analysis on this role. Lin Jiaojiao is just like you. Miaomiao, she's the one."
Li Miaomiao handed Director Zhang a cigarette and said with a smile, "Director Zhang has good taste."
Yun Shudai was still a little nervous. After all, there were very few auditions like this anymore. Since she became popular, they almost always sent scripts to her, and she rarely had the chance to audition and compete for roles herself.
To her delight, the contract was signed on the spot, and the pay was quite good.
"How about it, are you happy?"
"Thank you, boss."
"Just act well and don't make any more mistakes. Just stay calm and steady for now. If you do well in this show, it will bring you some popularity."
"Yes, I know."
"There are many famous directors and celebrities at tonight's banquet, as well as many big businessmen. I'll take you to get to know them and show your face. Maybe you'll catch the eye of a businessman or director, and some great opportunities will come your way."
"Thank you for considering my needs, boss."
"No need for thanks, it's a win-win situation."
Yun Shudai smiled and thought that this boss was not only humorous but also very reliable.
That night, I took her to meet several directors and introduced her to many business leaders.
Two hours later, Yun Shudai's face was almost frozen from smiling.
I went to the restroom, rubbed my face, touched up my makeup, and when I came back, I saw the boss talking to a man with a cold expression.
Just as I was about to step forward, the boss waved me off from a distance, gave me a look, and said he was leaving first.
"Could it be her boyfriend?" Yun Shudai muttered to herself, then smiled and returned to the banquet hall. Seeing that it was getting late, she called her driver and left the venue.
