Chapter 37: Audition (3)

Bo Yan paused for a while and did not argue with her. He then followed her through the door. When the door closed, the discussions outside became louder. The doors of the two waiting rooms also opened and Li Yiru’s face became full of curiosity. “I didn’t expect her to come.” She must have come to snatch the role of the main female lead away.

Shang Feier remained silent. However, she called her manager over with a cold stare.

The insidious commentary outside was another matter. When Xia Siyu pushed the door open, it surprised the three people inside the room.

After the temporary shock subsided, their expressions became slightly complicated.

The first one to open his mouth was Director Wang Ju. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. The audition is over.”

Xia Siyu didn’t back down at all. She took out a promotional flyer for the audition, lifted her hand, and looked at her watch. “The timing for the audition is two to five in the afternoon. It’s four fifty-five right now.”

Her statement left the other three judges speechless.

Wang Lu scanned her from top to bottom, and his initial unhappy expression became thoughtful.

Especially after seeing how Xia Siyu came without any makeup.

In fact, Wang Ju’s ideal candidate for the main female lead was Xia Siyu. In terms of beauty, Xia Siyu had no equals in the entire entertainment industry. She was not only pretty but also innocent-looking, with a hint of stubbornness within her. Although she did not act as well as Shang Feier, she was not like those wooden beauties.

However, she was late to the auditions, and she hadn’t submitted her particulars either. Although Wang Ju did not have a good impression of her, he reluctantly gave her a chance since her image and aura suited the role.

“Then prepare your performance. Just act out the scene where the main female lead receives the call from the male lead. I’ll only give you five minutes.”

He purposefully arranged for Xia Siyu to perform the same scene as Shang Feier. He wanted to compare them and see who was more suitable for the role.

After speaking, he directly turned around and returned to his seat.

Since Wang Ju had agreed, the casting director and the filmmaker returned to their seats too.

Only Bo Yan did not move. He looked at her with an interrogative expression.

However, before Wang Ju could sit down, Xia Siyu said, “Director Wang, I want to try for the second female lead.”

Everyone, including Wang Ju, was dumbfounded.

Bo Yan stood at the side. Although he did not have any expression on his face, he had contracted his pupils, showing that he was having doubts. However, Xia Siyu confidently stood straight beside him. Even though she had argued with him not too long ago, there was not a hint of anger on her face, nor was there the usual coldness she showed him. Her confidence and easiness showed that this was not a whim. She was serious about this.

Bo Yan silently looked at her for a few seconds, then he was the first one to sit. He wanted to see if Xia Siyu’s appearance would be a surprise or a scare for them.

Xia Siyu’s words had stunned Wang Ju. He turned around and asked, “Are you sure that you’re here for the role of the second female lead?”

Xia Siyu nodded without hesitating.

Wang Ju had heard of Xia Siyu’s fierce deeds. Although she had an innocent-looking face, she was secretly a gangster. She had even appeared on the top searches a few days ago because she had beaten someone in the streets. However, for his movie, he did not care about how she was in reality, but how she was in front of the camera.

Wang Ju scanned her from top to bottom and shook his head. “Second female lead? You don’t suit the role.”
