"Director Kong, there are still twenty minutes before the audition. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."
Kong Shen could tell that Han Songyan was restless, and he probably guessed that it was because of Bai Qianmo.
He usually focuses all his attention on film creation and doesn't know much about these rising stars in the entertainment industry, but he has been seeing the name Bai Qianmo online frequently lately.
Unexpectedly, this girl turned out to be Han Songyan's daughter.
"Go ahead."
Han Songyan hurriedly left the audition room.
The smile on the lips of the other pianist turned cold.
"Director Kong, both of the Korean actress's daughters are auditioning for the lead role. Isn't it unfair for her to sit on the judging panel like this to the other artists?"
It is said that those in the same profession are enemies. This pianist became famous earlier than Han Songyan, but her piano skills were not as good as Han Songyan's. However, she did not think that she was inferior to Han Songyan. She always felt that she just hadn't had enough opportunities.
Therefore, if you constantly feel competition and comparison in your mind, you will unconsciously hate that person.
Kong Shen frowned and remained silent for a while: "Han Songyan is a very fair person in the professional field. In such an important audition, and given that she is the female lead of 'The Legend of 1900,' she would definitely not ruin her own performance."
The pianist pursed her lips, dissatisfied. Since Kong Shen had already expressed his opinion, she couldn't say anything more.

Han Songyan left the audition room, took out her phone, and dialed Bai Qianmo's number.
At that moment, Bai Qianmo had just arrived at the entrance of the audition when she saw that it was Han Songyan calling, and she subconsciously frowned.
"Who called?" Su Peishan looked at the phone screen curiously.
Upon seeing that it was Han Songyan, they immediately fell silent.
Why is Han Songyan calling at this time? Could it be that she also wants to stop Qianmo from auditioning...?
At this moment, Chen Feifei looked towards the audition venue and saw that many artists were already waiting there.
"Wow, it's the Korean actress! She's walking this way."
Su Peishan frowned and glanced at Chen Feifei with a look of disgust.
"What are you making such a fuss about?"
"I'm so excited! Actress Han is my idol!"
Su Peishan: "..." Just how many idols do you have, little girl?
Because Chen Feifei had a loud voice, Han Songyan, who was looking around for Bai Qianmo, subconsciously looked towards the door. When she saw Bai Qianmo, her eyes lit up and she quickly walked over.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the lounge...
Bai Xiruo had just come out of the restroom to touch up her makeup when she spotted Han Songyan.
I was about to go up and say hello, but I saw her hurrying towards the door...
“Qianmo…” Han Songyan walked up to Bai Qianmo, looking somewhat anxious.
"Is there something you need?" Knowing in advance that Han Songyan was a judge, Bai Qianmo was somewhat prepared to meet her.
Seeing that Bai Qianmo's attitude towards her was still cold, Han Songyan felt a pang of sadness.
"I just found out that you auditioned for the lead role in 'The Legend of 1900'. Do you... do you know that this film requires a very professional level of piano skills?"
Han Songyan was worried that Bai Qianmo would misunderstand that she disliked her, so she spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
Seeing Bai Qianmo give her a cold look, Han Songyan hurriedly explained, "I... I'm not afraid that you'll embarrass yourself at the audition, I'm just worried that you don't have any piano playing skills. You'll need to play a piano on the spot during the audition. Director Kong Shen is a very strict person. If you don't perform well during the audition, he might scold you on the spot. So, I'm worried about you."
As Han Songyan spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.
Su Peishan, who was standing to the side, secretly tugged at Bai Qianmo's sleeve and whispered in Bai Qianmo's ear: "I think what the movie queen said is quite right, Qianmo, it's not too late to consider withdrawing from the audition now."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Su Peishan indifferently. Having spent a long time by Bai Qianmo's side, Su Peishan instantly understood the warning in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
"Thank you for your kind reminder, Mrs. Bai. I was already prepared before coming."
After saying that, Bai Qianmo bypassed Han Songyan, her aloof figure not lingering for a moment, and headed straight for the rest area.
Su Peishan and Chen Feifei glanced at Han Songyan and hurriedly followed Bai Qianmo.
Bai Qianmo walked in front, while Su Peishan and Chen Feifei followed behind. Unable to contain her gossip, Chen Feifei said to Su Peishan, "Sister Su, I feel like Actress Han is actually quite concerned about the boss. Is there some misunderstanding between them?"
Su Peishan glanced at Bai Qianmo in front of her and lowered her voice, saying, "Who knows what's wrong with Actress Han lately? Before, whenever she saw Bai Qianmo, she was either sarcastic or mocking. She was also colluding with her adopted daughter and suppressing Qianmo at Jiashang. I saw all of these things with my own eyes..."
As the two were talking, they noticed that Bai Qianmo, who was in front of them, suddenly stopped.
They looked ahead and saw Bai Xiruo standing a step away from Bai Qianmo, blocking their way.
"Qianmo, you're here to audition for 'The Legend of 1900' too? Didn't your agent tell you that this drama requires actors to have a professional level of piano skills?" Bai Xiruo's voice was gentle and soft, like a breeze, but there was a sharp edge hidden in that breeze.
Bai Qianmo looked at Bai Xiruo coldly, her expression distant, still the same attitude of not taking the other party seriously, exuding a sense of nonchalance and laziness.
"Do I know whether or not this has anything to do with you?"
"Bai Xiruo, let's be frank. Your thoughts are as clear as day to us. Stop with the pretense. After a while, even your face seems fake," Su Peishan said coldly.
Chen Feifei agreed: "I completely agree with what Sister Su said!"
Bai Xiruo wasn't annoyed. The gentle smile on her lips deepened, and a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes: "Since you know, then just pretend I didn't say anything. I wish you success in your audition later."
Han Songyan hurried over and gave Bai Xiruo a warning look.
Bai Xiruo walked to Han Songyan's side and affectionately hooked her arm around Han Songyan's arm: "Mom, since Qianmo insists on participating in this audition, please don't stop her. Let her give it a try. You always say that it's good to try and fail a few times while you're young."
Han Songyan's facial expression stiffened, and she subconsciously tried to pull her arm back, but Bai Xiruo secretly grabbed it with her hand.
At this moment, Bai Qianmo looked at Bai Xiruo with a determined look in her eyes: "I'm taking this role today! So you're the only one who can fail."
Bai Xiruo's smile froze instantly, her gaze turning cold as she stared at Bai Qianmo.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see!"
Someone who can't even play the piano wants to compete with her for the lead role in this drama?
Hmph, that's just wishful thinking.
I want to see how you embarrass yourself in public later.
