"Master, are you going to that drinking party? That investor is disgusting, maybe we shouldn't go today."
123 was a little uneasy, fearing that its owner's arrival would lead to someone's death.
"Don't worry, I understand. In a society governed by the rule of law, we should still be good citizens who know and abide by the law."
Only then did I put my precious little heart back in my belly.
Soon, the car that was supposed to pick her up arrived. Seeing how she was dressed, he didn't say anything, but just glanced at her a couple more times. Her face was stunning; she seemed particularly eye-catching tonight.
There were already quite a few people seated at the table, including several minor celebrities like her, as well as a few investors, producers, and directors.
When Xiao Li went in, everyone was stunned. Several minor actresses felt a pang of jealousy. Someone so beautiful was trying to get such a small role. Did they even have a chance?
Xiao Li glanced at the director, who seemed to have little presence, and unsurprisingly, Feng Xu was also stunned.
This was the Ni Chang he had always dreamed of. He stared at her, completely captivated by Xiao Li's every move.
"What's your name?" Feng Xu's eyes were practically gleaming with desire.
"I am Mi Xiaoli from Xingyao Entertainment."
Upon hearing the name, Feng Xu seemed to be thinking, "She's not on the interview list, is she?"
"Do you have time for the audition at the sixth floor of Xincheng Media tomorrow morning at nine o'clock?"
"Of course, it would be my honor."
123 was dumbfounded. It's settled just like that?
Next, Xiao Li sat down next to Feng Xu, watching the minor celebrities and investors drink and sing...
An investor, oblivious to the situation, came over and asked Xiaoli to drink. Xiaoli readily drank it and then remained motionless, taking advantage of the director's presence.
She focused on eating her food, and once she was full, she put down her chopsticks and sat quietly. Feng Xu found it amusing; she was truly a clever girl.
At 10 p.m., Xiaoli returned to her apartment and slept soundly through the night.
At nine o'clock the next day, Xiao Li arrived on the sixth floor of Xincheng Media on time. At this time, a long line of people were waiting to audition. Xiao Li was not surprised to see Shui Yiyi.
Shui Yiyi was surprised for a moment by Xiao Li's arrival, but then calmed down and just glanced at her manager.
"What are you doing here? Is this a place for you? There are no announcements for you today, go back now." Li Jia's eyes showed impatience, but she still lowered her voice and told her to go back.
"oh."
Xiao Li agreed and lowered her head to straighten her skirt.
Seeing that Mi Xiaoli didn't move, Li Jia had no choice but to bring out Zou Han.
“Call Zou Han and ask him. He's the one who made this arrangement. It's no use you coming over now; you're not on the list at all.”
Xiao Li frowned; she was being too noisy.
"Go back and we'll terminate the contract."
It took Li Jia a long time to come to her senses. She angrily flung her sleeves and left.
Finally, things quieted down, and after a while, it was Xiaoli's turn.
Seated on the judging panel were the director, producer, and screenwriter. Also present was a young man, Han Licheng, who played Jiang Zhizhou, the male lead in the script for "Sword Shadow Immortal."
"Could you act out this scene? I'd appreciate it if you could help me out, Mr. Han."
Han Licheng nodded, picked up the prop sword, and walked to the open space in front.
This scene depicts the heroine Ning Nishang being stabbed by her beloved when her family is destroyed, leading to her turning to the dark side in her grief.
Yes, Xiao Li auditioned for the lead role of Ning Nishang, not the second female lead Ding Xiaorou.
Xiao Li also picked up a cloak and put it on, then got into character.
The ground was littered with corpses, all of them her family and friends. She was heartbroken, her face filled with sorrow, tears streaming down her cheeks. Finally, she found her parents, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.
At this moment, the male protagonist Jiang Zhizhou arrived with a large group of martial arts masters, demanding to know the whereabouts of the "Xiaoyao Jue" manual.
Finally, Jiang Zhizhou stabbed Ning Nishang in the chest with his sword. She was in disbelief, heartbroken, lost and confused, and tears streamed down her face.
Feng Xu clapped and cheered, while Xiao Li also composed herself and exited the state of mind.
"You're the one! We'll be shooting the costume fitting photos next week, and you'll start filming next month. Is that alright?"
"No problem, but please send me the contract in a few days."
Feng Xu nodded in agreement.
The casting for the lead role in this female-centric drama has now been finalized.
Han Licheng was also somewhat surprised. He was drawn into the emotions, as if she were that pitiful girl betrayed by her lover. He was looking forward to the start of filming next month.
123 exclaimed in its mind, "Master, when did your acting become so good?"
Xiao Li thought about it seriously, "Life is like a play, and a play is like life. You are who you think you are."
123 I have a vague understanding of what I'm talking about, but I don't really understand.
★
Xiao Li leisurely went to Xingyao Entertainment. In the morning, Li Jia called Zou Han to complain, and Zou Han came directly to the apartment to question her.
"Xiao Li, that role was earned by Shui Yiyi through her own abilities, it has nothing to do with you, can you please stop making a fuss?"
Zou Han was losing his composure; his impatience was obvious.
Let's break up.
Zou Han was incredulous and inexplicably angry. He hadn't even mentioned breaking up yet, how dare she?
Xiao Li took out a box containing Zou Han's few personal belongings.
"Take your things and get out."
Was this all prepared in advance? Zou Han was even angrier.
"Fine, let's break up. Don't regret it, hmph!"
Having dealt with this scumbag, Xiaoli is going to terminate her contract with the company. She can't stay here anymore; her agent is a scoundrel, and the company is kicking her when she's down.
When the original owner was embroiled in numerous scandals, the company chose to sideline him until the contract expired, at which point he returned to his hometown.
Fortunately, there are only three months left before the contract expires, so she can afford to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
"You want to terminate the contract? Do you know how much the penalty for breach of contract is?"
Jin Pengcheng's eyes lit up when he saw the girl in front of him. How come he had never noticed how beautiful Mi Xiaoli was before? If he had known, he could have made her famous if he had given her a proper makeover.
Name your price.
Just as Jin Pengcheng was about to speak, the phone rang.
"What? Qiwen hurt her leg? Okay, I understand."
Jin Pengcheng stroked his chin and looked at Xiaoli for a long while before finally making up his mind.
"How about this, you go participate in a variety show, and we'll waive the breach of contract penalty, okay?"
Mi Xiaoli hasn't taken on any work in the past two years, so the penalty for breach of contract wouldn't be much.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow. "A variety show, huh?"
Before Xiaoli could speak, he explained, "You should have heard of the variety show 'Three Nights in the Mountains' on Jiangsu TV. If it weren't for Qiwen's leg injury and the lack of suitable people at the moment, you wouldn't even be qualified for this show. You're lucky."
Xiao Li "..."
Well, it's good to save some money. The original owner really didn't earn any money in the past two years, and Xiao Li was even planning to use the treasures in her space to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
The variety show recording is in ten days, which is just the time to take the costume photos before going. The shooting time plus post-production editing will take about a week, so it won't interfere with the opening ceremony of "Sword Shadow Immortal" next month.
After the agreement was reached, Xiaoli left Xingyao and became a free person.
