The news of the collaboration between rising popular comic artist Xia Tian and Shengshi Entertainment has ignited the entire comic industry.
Upon hearing the news, Fang Jiaxi, one of Xia Tian's die-hard fans, immediately called Lin Chuxia and excitedly exclaimed, "Lin Chuxia, do you know? My favorite comic is going to be made into a TV series!"
"Oh." Lin Chuxia replied somewhat perfunctorily, biting her pen and scribbling in the book.
"Do you remember the comic book you bought for me last time? It's the one that's being made into a TV series."
"oh."
At this particular time, and given that it's a comic that Fang Jiaxi likes, it's not hard to guess.
"I heard that the casting process will be open to all candidates, and I'd like to give it a try. Which role do you think I should audition for?"
"You're not going for an offensive musical direction?"
Fang Jiaxi: "The music industry is also part of the entertainment industry, so it's normal for me to act in a drama as well. Besides, this is my favorite work, and it's going to be made into a TV series. If I don't try to get a role, I'll definitely regret it later!"
Lin Chuxia thought for a moment, then said, "Then you should try out for the role of Little Qin Demon. This role should suit you."
"You think so too?!" Fang Jiaxi was delighted, but her tone quickly turned somber again. "In this comic, my favorite character is Xiao Qin Yao, but this character is very important in the whole comic. I have no fame at all, so I guess they won't want me."
To be precise, Fang Jiaxi is still a complete newcomer and hasn't even officially entered the entertainment industry yet.
"It's okay. How will you know it won't work if you don't try? Didn't you just say that you'd regret it later if you didn't try?"
"You're right! No matter what, I'm going to give it a try! I have to go now, I'm going to think about the role!" Fang Jiaxi said and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
At this moment, Fang Jiaxi was unaware that Lin Chuxia was the painter "Xia Tian" whom she admired.
...
I spend every day studying, and the days pass by in a fulfilling and fast-paced way.
In the blink of an eye, half a semester has passed, and Shengshi Entertainment has already drafted the script and started casting.
On the day of the audition, Fang Jiaxi was quite nervous, so she asked Lin Chuxia to accompany her to the audition.
It was already May, and summer had begun in Jincheng; the weather was rather muggy.
Fang Jiaxi was very well prepared. She had custom-made the costume for the little zither demon herself. She was wearing layers and layers of clothes, and the hall was crowded with people. The air conditioning was practically useless. Sweat dripped down her face. Lin Chuxia felt hot just looking at her.
Fang Jiaxi's audition number was quite high, number 108. That means there would be at least 108 people competing for the role of Xiao Qin Yao.
Lin Chuxia glanced at the bustling crowd and felt a little suffocated. She felt hot even in light clothing, let alone Fang Jiaxi.
"Do you want to come out for some fresh air with me?" Lin Chuxia asked the person next to her.
Fang Jiaxi shook her head: "No. I'm afraid I might accidentally miss it."
It's only number twenty-something now, girl. However, Lin Chuxia knew that there was no point in saying more, so she simply said, "You wait here, I'll go buy two ice creams to cool off."
When she came back, she not only brought Fang Jiaxi ice cream and iced water, but also found her a handheld mini fan.
