Chapter 131 Auspicious Omen: Green Smoke Emerging from Ancestral Grave, Azure Dragon Appears.
After Yun Shu said this, everyone else fell silent for a while, and the director's expression was not good.
No one would feel good if they suddenly heard someone say they were a dead person.
"Cough cough."
The judge who spoke first gently reminded her, "Yun Shu, you're here for an audition today. Don't talk about irrelevant things. Start your performance now."
"How can it be something unrelated?"
Yun Shu looked at them in confusion. "His appearance suggests he's already dead. Even if he were still alive, he wouldn't live much longer. If the director were to suddenly pass away, it would naturally affect my work."
Even if she doesn't get the lead role, Lu Shijing still paid her to stay on set, so she still needs to make things clear and not take Lu Shijing's money for nothing.
When she mentioned the word "death," the director's expression turned even more grim.
Upon seeing this, another judge said to Yun Shu with displeasure, "The director is still sitting here perfectly fine. What are you saying about him dying? Are you cursing the director?"
He turned to the director and said, "These newcomers are too arrogant. It's true that having someone to support you makes a difference. They dare to confront the director during the audition and say such unlucky things. Do they think our crew will treat them like royalty?"
The judge's nameplate reads "Chen Qi," and his position in the production team is assistant director.
He knew that directors hated those who got in through connections, especially those who were arrogant but lacked talent. In one drama, the director even made a girl who got in with her own money cry several times.
Seeing that the director remained silent and had a cold expression, the assistant director said again, "Director, our crew can't afford to accommodate this demanding person. Let her go. If she causes trouble during filming, it will affect our filming schedule."
The director frowned, about to speak, when another judge said, "Director, she's not just here for an audition, she's also a master that President Lu found for us. She'll be presiding over the opening ceremony for the filming and will also help resolve any unexpected problems we encounter during filming."
He looked at the assistant director, stroked his chin, and said, "Chen Qi, she hasn't even started acting yet, how do you know she's definitely not good enough? Besides, this girl is a very famous metaphysical streamer online, her fortune telling and face reading are very accurate, maybe she wasn't being sarcastic, she was just telling the truth."
The judge's name tag read "Producer," and he was the one who reminded the director to watch his words when Yun Shu first came in.
Chen Qi said with a grim expression, "What do you mean by that? Do you also think the director will die in a few days? I know, you're the one who brought in Lu Shijing's investment. You don't dare offend Lu Shijing, so you're deliberately helping this woman to slander the director, right?"
The producer rolled his eyes. "Based on my understanding of President Lu, if Yun Shu's abilities are not up to par, even if we don't let her act, President Lu won't withdraw his investment. He's not that petty."
Chen Qi, it's you who's acting strangely. You haven't even looked into anything, yet you're already accusing her of having connections and judging her as incompetent. Are you perhaps trying to get that minor celebrity you recommended? Tsk tsk, I saw you and that minor celebrity leaving a hotel just a few days ago!
As soon as the producer said that, the director gave Chen Qi a cold look, clearly doubting Chen Qi's motives for saying those words.
Chen Qi quickly explained, "Director, I didn't. He has no evidence and is deliberately slandering me here! Last time I recommended Yan Ni to you, it was entirely because I had worked with her before. I felt that she worked very hard and her acting skills were also very good. I don't know her at all in private!"
Just as the director was about to say something, Yun Shu, who had been watching the drama unfold, suddenly raised her hand and exclaimed, "Director!"
The director glanced at her. "What? You saw them go to the hotel too?"
"No."
Yun Shu pointed at the assistant director with an honest expression, "He looks like he's about to die too!"
The director's lips twitched. "There are only three of us here. Are we all going to die? According to you, we can't continue filming this show!"
"No."
Yun Shu then pointed to the producer, "He's very safe, and his ancestral graves will soon be emitting auspicious smoke, with a green dragon appearing. This is very lucky, everything he does will go smoothly, and he'll make a fortune this year."
"I?"
The producer pointed to himself, incredulous and beaming, "You little girl know how to talk! President Lu was right about you."
director:"……"
Assistant Director: "..."
She can talk?
That's not what she just said!
The director glanced at the time and said, "We've talked too much about irrelevant things; we haven't even started the main business yet."
He looked at Yun Shu and said, "Act out a scene according to the script we gave you."
"oh."
Yun Shu had planned to come beforehand and had also searched for some performance techniques online to learn.
The performance ended quickly.
The director's expression softened a bit. "Your acting is a bit green, but fortunately the character's personality fits you quite well, so it's not bad."
As soon as he finished speaking, the producer's phone rang.
The producer got up and went to a corner to answer the phone, but his shocked voice echoed throughout the room, "What! My ancestral graves in my hometown are emitting auspicious smoke? And a nest of snakes was found nearby?"
director:?
Assistant Director: ?
Everyone turned to look at the producer.
He was still on the phone, saying, "Those snakes even dug a hole next to my family's ancestral grave! Aren't they disturbing my ancestors? Please help me drive them away!"
"No, we can't send them away!"
Yun Shu quickly said, "That nest of snakes is spiritual; it will find a place with good feng shui to build its nest and won't disturb your ancestors' rest. Green snakes are also known as little green dragons, which are auspicious omens; you absolutely mustn't drive them away!"
The producer was taken aback and asked his relatives back home, "What kind of snakes were those?"
The other person replied, "It's entirely bluish-green, looks like a bamboo viper, and is poisonous. I'll go find someone who specializes in catching snakes to get rid of it later."
"No, no, please don't chase them away! The master said the green snake is a little green dragon, and a snake entering the ancestral grave is an auspicious sign. There's no need to chase them away; let them stay there! While you're at it, see if they have any food and feed them some rabbits or chickens or something!"
After hanging up the phone, the producer was in a daze.
The others were also surprised.
I never expected Yun Shu to be so persuasive; what she said just over ten minutes ago has already come true.
Moreover, she was far away in the capital and had never even been to the producer's ancestral grave, yet she knew what color the snakes that entered his family's ancestral grave were!
The producer snapped out of her daze and came over to Yun Shu with a big smile. "Little sister, come sit here. Will I really have good luck this year?"
He even pulled out a chair for Yun Shu.
Yun Shu sat down naturally and said to him, "A kind heart will naturally bring blessings."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your kind words, little sister!"
The producer was incredibly excited, but the director and assistant director were utterly disheartened and worried.
The director, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask Yun Shu, "You said before that I was dead, what exactly did you mean?"
