An'an is an impatient person, while Bai Qianmo always speaks in a concise and profound way.
"Little Momo, what do you mean by saying that Fansheng has no chance?"
Bai Qianmo gave a mysterious smile: "You'll find out soon enough. That's all for today's meeting. Meeting adjourned."
Li Song, Jiang Hai, Chen Xiang, and Su Peishan didn't ask any further questions.
After these crises, they have all witnessed Bai Qianmo's abilities as their boss.
Since the boss isn't in a hurry, it means there's no need to rush.
"Sister Su, come to my office."
“Okay!” Su Peishan tidied up the documents in front of her, stood up and left the conference room side by side with Bai Qianmo.
Upon arriving at the office, Bai Qianmo put down the folder in her hand, went to the tea area, made two cups of coffee, and handed one to Su Peishan.
What time is the audition for "The Legend of 1900" scheduled for today?
Su Peishan took a sip of coffee and replied without much thought, "It's scheduled for 10 a.m. Yesterday, the assistant director from the production team called me and said that Chen Feifei should go for an audition. This time, the role of the third female lead will be decided from four actresses."
Bai Qianmo held the coffee cup in her long, slender, and fair hands, slowly took a sip, and a glint of light flashed in her calm eyes: "The audition for the female lead is also scheduled for ten o'clock?"
"Yes, at the same time... Qianmo, you're not really going to audition for the female lead, are you?"
"I'm planning to." Bai Qianmo raised her wrist and glanced at the time.
“It’s almost nine o’clock now, there’s still time. When you take Chen Feifei to the audition, I’ll go with her.”
Su Peishan was taken aback. Although Qianmo's acting skills and image were very good, "The Legend of 1900" required that the piano playing be at a professional level.
She had never heard Qianmo play the piano before, and Qianmo herself said that she had played it before, which meant that she hadn't played it in a long time.
Let alone a simple hobby, even professional pianists will become rusty if they don't play for a while.
The audition for "The Legend of 1900" was held on-site.
An assistant director, holding his phone in his hand, hurried over to Director Kong Shen.
"Director Kong, that's Producer Feng on the phone."
Kong Shen exchanged a few words with his assistant before turning around, picking up his phone, swiping the screen, and pressing the answer button.
"Hey, Director Kong, how many people auditioned for the female lead role today?"
Kong Shen frowned and replied coldly, "There are ten people in total. Eight of them were selected in the preliminary round, and the other two were chosen from the photos submitted later. Old Feng, what are you planning to do now?"
There was a laugh on the other end: "Look at what you're saying, can't I just call to say hello?"
"Who you are, I know you too well. Stop talking nonsense, I'm busy here, just say what you want to say."
"Hehe, it's like this, I'd like to send someone over for an audition today, what do you think?"
"If it's just an audition, that's fine, but the final cast must be selected by me personally. Don't try to force in any nepotisms; I don't buy into that."
"I know your personality, I definitely won't do anything to upset you. It's just a friend who asked me to do a small favor. I don't even know the name of that artist. I'm just giving her an audition. If you're not satisfied, you can just send her away."
"Okay, then I'll give her an audition opportunity."
On the road
Su Peishan answered a phone call and turned to look at Bai Qianmo, who was resting with her eyes closed beside her.
"We've already informed you. You're number 11, the last actress to audition for the lead role today."
Bai Qianmo gave a curt "hmm" without even blinking.
"Should we take another look at the script? The assessment during the audition was proposed on the spot by Director Kong Shen. The assessment theme is different for each actor, so you must memorize the script."
"Okay, don't worry, I've remembered everything."
Hearing Bai Qianmo's nonchalant tone, Su Peishan felt even more uncertain.
"Other female artists all made it to the semi-finals from the preliminary rounds. These ten female artists must all have professional-level playing skills. You haven't touched the piano in a long time. Don't embarrass yourself in public. You are somewhat famous now, and your name has been trending on social media every day recently. If you embarrass yourself in the audition, it will probably spread all over the internet very quickly. Your rivals' haters are all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."
Bai Qianmo finally looked at Su Peishan properly: "Sister Su, if you're really worried about me, why don't you go to the audition for me later?"
"I...I don't even know how many black and white keys there are on a piano, how can I help you?"
"Since you don't know how, then I'll have to do it. Don't be more nervous than me."
Su Peishan: "..."
Yeah, it's like the emperor isn't worried but the eunuch is. She's not even nervous, so why should I be?

Female lead audition room
Han Songyan, Kong Shen, and another pianist sat on the judging panel.
Staff members were preparing props on the stage.
"Ms. Han, this is the list of the eleven auditioning artists who participated in today's semi-finals. Please take a look."
"Eleven? Weren't there only ten people notified in advance?" Han Songyan asked, somewhat puzzled, taking the list and quickly glancing at it with her eyes down.
When Han Song-yeon saw the name of the eleventh artist at the end of the list, her expression changed drastically.
Shallow foam?
Why would she audition for "The Legend of 1900"?
Han Songyan was genuinely shocked to see Bai Qianmo's name appear on the list.
Kong Shen, who was standing to the side, thought that Han Songyan was bothered by the sudden increase in the number of spots, and hurriedly explained.
"The eleventh female artist was introduced by a friend of Producer Feng. It's just a formality. Our main focus is still on the eight artists who passed the preliminary round."
Han Songyan stared at Bai Qianmo's two-inch photo. The girl in the photo had no makeup on, her long hair was smooth and casually draped over her shoulders, her features were delicate and three-dimensional, and her gaze was calm and indifferent, giving people a sense of peace and detachment.
Kong Shen was also looking at the photos of the eleven semi-finalists at that moment.
"I must say, this number 11 is quite good-looking, but I wonder how strong he is."
Hearing Kong Shen's last words, Han Songyan's heart clenched.
Doesn't Qianmo know that this audition requires a professional level of piano skills?
She had never heard of Qianmo playing the piano, let alone seen her play it herself.
"This number 11 looks familiar!" another pianist murmured, letting out a soft exclamation as his gaze swept over the name column.
"Bai Qianmo? Teacher Han, isn't this girl your daughter?"
Kong Shen was also taken aback, and both of them looked at Han Songyan at the same time.
The pianist smiled and said, "So both of Mr. Han's daughters have come to audition. You are a world-renowned pianist, so your daughters must also be quite talented in the piano."
Han Songyan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
