One by one, the people in front of me went in for their interviews.
The interviews were conducted extremely quickly, typically taking less than five minutes to complete one interview.
Shi Xi guessed that she would probably only have a short scene.
Otherwise, with so many people, how long would it take to finish the interview?
Nan Wan looked at Shi Xi's gentle and quiet demeanor, feeling dissatisfied. She lowered her voice and said, "Shi Xi, let me tell you, I've already been decided as the female lead in this drama! No matter how much you memorize your lines, you won't get the role!"
Shi Xi put away the script and looked at Nan Wan.
Is that stupid?
Should I tell her something like this?
Nan Wan's lips curled slightly, her face full of smugness.
The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are well-known to those in the know.
Shi Xi glanced at Nan Wan indifferently and stood up.
Nan Wan's smile froze. "What are you doing?"
Shi Xi raised her voice and said, "Brother Han, let's go."
Han Chuan was slightly taken aback. "You haven't had your interview yet."
"Nan Wan just told me that she's already been cast as the female lead in this drama, so I'm not going to the audition." Shi Xi didn't care what the other people were looking at, picked up her bag and walked out.
The other actresses waiting for their auditions were all surprised.
"What? If they've already decided, why are they making us come for an interview? Isn't that a waste of our time?"
"I took a taxi here and it cost me over a hundred yuan, and they told me it was already decided beforehand?"
"You only spent money on transportation. I turned down other offers to come here for the interview."
"If the candidate has already been chosen, why bother with an interview? Is it just a formality?"
"..."
Although Nan Wan is famous in the entertainment industry, not everyone likes to fawn over her.
Immediately, some people threw their notebooks in a rage, while others whispered among themselves.
Some others, seeing Shi Xi leave, also got up and prepared to leave.
Nan Wan's heart stopped upon witnessing this scene.
Shi Xi actually said it out loud?
How could she do this?!
How could she say that?!
Nan Wan's agent pushed up her glasses and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Nan Wan was just joking with Shi Xi. There are no pre-selected roles for this drama."
Regardless of whether there was a pre-arranged decision or not, we cannot admit it now!
Nan Wan snapped out of her daze and quickly chimed in, "Yes, I was just joking. I didn't expect Shi Xi to take it seriously."
Shi Xi had already reached the door when she stopped and chuckled softly, "Whether it's a joke or not, you know in your heart. I won't participate in a script where I'm destined to be a runner-up."
After saying that, Shi Xi turned and left.
Nan Wan was furious. "What do you mean?!"
The agent felt helpless. When he saw someone take out their phone to record a video, he asked his assistant and bodyguard to handle it.
Does Nanwan never know what it means to be low-key?
I should have known better than to tell her that she was already slated for the lead role in this interview.
Now that the news has leaked out, it's uncertain whether things will change.
The director, who was conducting interviews inside, noticed that several people hadn't shown up and wondered, "Why are there so many empty seats?"
The staff went out to ask around and relayed the situation to the director.
The director's face darkened. "This Nan Wan! Does she even have a brain?!"

Shi Xi left the building.
Han Chuan strode up and asked, "Are you sure you're not going to have an interview?"
"I'm not going to meet her. Nan Wan looked so smug; she's probably already decided on her." Shi Xi thought with disdain.
She actually tried to steal a role from Nan Wan.
Han Chuan sighed inwardly, "Sky Blue is an S+ production, and the male lead is TV King Lu Zheng."
Unexpectedly, Nan Wan was pre-selected as the female lead.
Shi Xi also felt it was a pity, "Yes, I memorized all those pages."
It turned out that it wasn't used at all!
I'm so angry!
