In order to integrate into this world more quickly and effectively, Song Mengmeng has been spending most of her time at home watching TV, movies, and various variety shows, trying to learn as much as she can about the entertainment industry.
If she wants to become stronger faster, then quickly becoming famous and well-known to gain more faith power is a relatively easy shortcut.
Because she watches a lot of TV, she also really loves the palace dramas that Yao Anna mentioned.
So naturally, she became interested when Yao Anna mentioned it.
After breaking up with Yao Anna, she hurriedly called Yan Di.
"The audition qualifications for 'The Imperial Palace: The Legend of Mingfei'?" After listening to the little girl's rambling description, Emperor Yan was slightly taken aback. He subconsciously said, "But the female lead for this drama has already been decided."
"I don't want to play the female lead! I don't know anything yet, playing the female lead would just be ruining someone else's production!" Song Mengmeng sat on the swing set in the yard, lazily swinging her little feet. It was obvious that she didn't care at all about who the female lead was: "I just want an audition opportunity, that way I can at least get into the production and learn from the senior actors!"
“That’s not bad either.” Yan Di thought for a moment. The little girl had indeed been incredibly bored lately, so he didn’t refuse her request: “In that case, I’ll have Su Li arrange it.”
When Su Li received the message from Emperor Yan, he thought he had misheard.
Although "The Imperial Palace: The Legend of Mingfei" is indeed the best drama right now, various entertainment companies and studios are practically fighting tooth and nail to get a role in it!
However, this does not include the Imperial Star.
The director of "The Imperial Palace: The Legend of Mingfei" and Di Xing have always had a very good working relationship, so even though director Guo Zhicheng is always strict in casting, it is not difficult for Di Xing to get a role under his guidance.
Right now, all we need is an audition for a regular on-screen role...
Isn't that a bit too low a standard?!
Despite his inner grumbling, he dared not disobey the Emperor's orders. Although it was just a minor role, Su Li carefully selected three similar characters based on the character of their little wife and sent them to the Emperor's email for his review.
Emperor Yan glanced at the list and finally decided on a concubine who had a good relationship with the female lead, was innocent and carefree, but ultimately couldn't withstand the machinations and schemes in the palace and was tragically murdered.
She has a significant amount of screen time in the early stages, and more importantly, her character is very likable.
If the performance is good, it can at least earn a lot of goodwill from casual viewers.
Having secured the audition, Song Mengmeng took it very seriously. She carefully studied the materials provided by Yan Di and prepared for three or four days. After the weekend, accompanied by Su Li, she went to the agreed location with the production team for the audition.
The time Yao Anna and Song Mengmeng agreed to meet wasn't too late. The two girls were very happy to meet and, without much hesitation, chose a corner where they wouldn't disturb others, and chatted quietly.
Actually, there were quite a few artists waiting for their auditions this time, and even more of them gathered together to talk as soon as they entered.
But some people just can't stand it and insist on coming over to seek attention.
"Oh, Sister Yao is now mentoring newcomers? When did Fei Yuan fall so low?" Those who came to find Yao Anna unhappy at this moment were naturally people with whom they had a past conflict.
Now that Yao Anna's career is going well, it naturally sometimes affects other artists of the same generation.
After all, the Chinese entertainment industry pie is only so big; if you take too much, others will go hungry. Gu Panpan debuted around the same time as her, had similar resources, and comparable fan base and popularity.
At first, everyone was fighting over resources and announcements, and the battle was quite even; but recently, for some reason, Yao Anna seems to have changed her personality. Although she doesn't seem to have changed much from her previous path, she just doesn't have that pretentious air about her anymore.
Gu Panpan, who had suffered repeated defeats in bidding for resources, was naturally fed up!
Who isn't a little princess waiting to become famous?
We were all in the same boat before, so why is she the only one who's made it big now?!
"Your face is all distorted!" Song Mengmeng looked up at Gu Panpan, who was staring at Yao Anna with her arms crossed and a critical look on her face, and slowly said, "Is this the legendary true description of how jealousy makes me unrecognizable?!"
"……puff……"
Song Mengmeng's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. So, from the moment Gu Panpan came over to cause trouble, most of the girls who had been drawn in couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Laughter filled the lounge, making Gu Panpan, who was caught in the middle of it, so angry that she almost punched someone on the spot.
If she weren't still thinking that this was a lounge and that making a scene wouldn't do her any good, she would have actually attacked these two annoying women right now!
"You don't need to come over here and be so sarcastic. Mengmeng is my friend, she's not an artist under our Feiyuan Entertainment." Yao Anna smiled, seemingly polite but actually quite blunt, as she retorted to Gu Panpan, who was so angry she was practically fuming: "Whether we're all getting resources or developing our own careers, it's all about our own abilities. It's not something that can be resolved by just having a few words here!"
Instead of wasting your time causing me trouble, you should really think about the role you're auditioning for later. Otherwise, if you fail, you'll be scrambling to find a scapegoat again!
"Will she say that Anna's presence affected her performance?" Song Mengmeng asked Gu Panpan with a naive smile, as if she didn't want to miss any opportunity to stir things up.
“She’ll probably go to Weibo and cry her eyes out.” Yao Anna nodded, agreeing with Song Mengmeng’s question in a very cooperative manner, and not forgetting to kick her in the heart again in the usual way: “She might also apologize to her fans, saying that she didn’t work hard enough this time and disappointed everyone, and that she will definitely work harder next time or something.”
"Can't we try this time? Why wait until next time?!" Song Mengmeng tilted her head, her ahoge (cowlick) swaying in confusion.
Yao Anna sighed, ignoring Gu Panpan's murderous rage, and patted Song Mengmeng's shoulder with a sigh: "Because she doesn't know where to start working hard right now!"
Besides, the announcement on Weibo might not even have been posted by her! Otherwise, if it were such a genuine expression of emotion, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, using up a whole bottle of eye drops and still not finishing one crying scene!
