After a ten-second wait, the crew members who had been holding An Ning's hands silently released her grip and looked at the assistant director with questioning eyes.
Director Guo couldn't come today because of other commitments. Now, Deputy Director Fang has the most say here, and how this matter is handled depends entirely on Deputy Director Fang's decision.
Among those watching Deputy Director Fang were not only innocent bystanders, but also the perpetrators who attempted to cause "intentional harm" but failed, and the victims who suffered severe psychological trauma despite not being physically harmed.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on him. After much deliberation, Assistant Director Fang finally made a decision, "An Ning's audition was indeed reasonable. Under those circumstances, the actions of the patient she played were entirely plausible. Therefore, she probably didn't intend to hurt Xiao Ran, but..."
"Did you think I was going to say that you're out of the picture now?" Assistant Director Fang helped Lin Ran slowly to her feet, his voice suddenly turning sarcastic. "Indeed, you're out of the picture now, but you can't get this role."
Hearing this, An Ning already understood what was going on.
She's going to use connections, she's going to be ostracized, but it doesn't matter.
Anning almost wanted to leave on the spot rather than waste time with this person.
She's dodged the battle with capital countless times, so she doesn't even consider this mere assistant director a threat.
It wasn't Director Guo who auditioned here, but it was Director Guo himself who called to tell them they didn't need to come to the audition. Even a fool could figure out who authorized it.
It's simply that the role has already been decided beforehand, or that someone has taken a bribe and is doing it on purpose.
As for who this "someone" is... An Ning's gaze fell on Lin Ran, who stood beside Assistant Director Fang with slightly reddened eyes, making her look particularly pitiful. She thought she probably knew.
However, Lin Ran probably didn't expect that she would come after receiving Director Guo's notification, so as soon as Lin Ran found out that she had arrived, she sent her agent to pull her over to be a tool for the audition.
However, Lin Ran never expected that An Ning would actually become a lunatic.
After Fang Cheng spoke, he kept observing An Ning's reaction. He thought he would see an expression of resentment or at least anger on An Ning's face, but he was wrong. An Ning's reaction was extremely calm, or rather, there was no reaction at all.
In a very short time, Anning responded. The girl lifted her eyelids to look at the person opposite her, her lips moving slightly, "Ah? Is that so? Then I'll leave?"
Although she phrased it as a question, she didn't wait for Fang Cheng's response. Instead, she turned and walked out. Before completely leaving the audition tent, she glanced at a very hidden corner out of the corner of her eye, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
Should we refuse to let her participate?
No, she was waiting for this person to come to her door in person to invite her.
Before leaving, An Ning didn't forget to pull her manager, who was already dumbfounded.
"Let's go, our audition is over." She said, grabbing Chu Lan's wrist and leading her outside.
Chu Lan, who was lost in thought about when her little white cabbage had turned into a lunatic, was startled by a voice coming from beside her ear. Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared blankly at the person in front of her.
It seems a little unfamiliar.
"Did you really accidentally stumble upon someone's crime scene yesterday?" Chu Lan suddenly asked.
An Ning paused, turning to look at Chu Lan with amusement. "What? You don't mean I'm really going to kidnap someone, do you? Trust me, Sister Lan, I'm not lying to you."
She was telling the absolute truth, without a single lie. The man was trying to kidnap two young girls and she just happened to stumble upon it. However, she did it on purpose, otherwise she wouldn't have had to go to the police station.
But... such a consequence could plunge two girls, only twelve or thirteen years old, into a hellish abyss, a nightmare they can never escape.
So, it's just a police station, she can just go in.
An Ning's gaze was so sincere that Chu Lan suddenly snapped out of her daze. She looked up abruptly, a slightly apologetic expression on her face, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ning, I might have been possessed just now."
After saying that, she almost turned her head away in embarrassment, refusing to look at the expressions on Anning Community's faces.
She's being completely unreasonable. How could she suspect Xiao Ning? Xiao Ning has been in this industry for so long and has never done anything outrageous, let alone something that crosses the line of the law.
Thinking of this, Chu Lan felt even more ashamed and whispered an apology.
Hearing Chu Lan's apology again, An Ning felt a mix of emotions.
Was she really that crazy just now? She drove someone who trusted her so much to the point of doubting whether she had actually done something that crossed the line of the law?
An Ning didn't respond to Chu Lan's apology but instead changed the subject, "Sister Lan, what are we having for lunch?"
She thought that after saying that, Chu Lan's attention would shift from her and he would start thinking about the answer to her question. However, Chu Lan's reaction was completely different from what she expected. "What do you want to eat? Your audition failed again."
She sighed, "I'll contact Director Guo again and ask him if you're really not suitable... I thought you acted quite well..."
Her voice was very low for the second half of her sentence, as if she were muttering to herself. As she said this, she had already taken out her phone, tapped the dial pad, and was just about to press the call button.
Seeing this, An Ning quickly snatched Chu Lan's phone. "Sister Lan, let's eat first. Don't rush into the audition, okay?"
As she spoke, she turned off the screen and pulled Chu Lan toward the parking lot. However, she pushed Chu Lan into the passenger seat while she squeezed into the driver's seat and casually fastened her seatbelt.
After Chu Lan was settled and fastened her seatbelt, An Ning suddenly said, "Sister Lan, don't worry, no one is more suitable for this role than me."
After all, she's probably the only "mentally ill" actress currently working in the entire entertainment industry, right? Who else could it be but her?
Chu Lan turned her head to look at her, her eyes unreadable. "Are you so sure?"
"Yes, I'm just that sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black SUV drove away, leaving behind only a trail of exhaust fumes.
When the girl, dressed in all black and carrying two large cameras, came out, she only saw the back of the black car the other party was driving away.
-
Chu Lan didn't take An Ning's words to heart at all, thinking they were just An Ning's narcissistic words of comfort. However, she never expected that the day after An Ning finished her audition, she would see her name trending on social media again.
Moreover, the trending search terms were very eye-catching and sensational headlines. Chu Lan lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the screen, which, despite its dim light, displayed the words "An Ning" in large characters.
