Chapter 34: The Amazing Female Lead
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After setting the make-up and some minor negotiations, the opening ceremony started at the hottest time of summer.
Lydia arrived on time. After she was done with her make-up, a petite figure pounced on her. Lydia felt that her breathing was not smooth.
“Lucia, Lucia, don’t be so excited,” Lydia quickly pulled Lucia away.
Lucia smiled sweetly. “I’m so happy. Although it’s just a small role, I’m so happy,” she said elatedly.
Her happiness made a calm Lydia happy as well. “What role are you in?”
“Oh, Eva, the youngest daughter of the Maria family’s arch rival. She didn’t have many scenes, and died before she even lived past 20.”
Lydia immediately recalled Eva’s life events and couldn’t help but agree with the casting director’s judgment. “You’re too suitable to play Eva.”
“I also think that you’re very suitable to play Maria. Everyone is quite satisfied with the casting this time.” As she spoke, Lucia suddenly pounced down and whispered to Lydia, “I heard that Mr. Marcel will be attending the banquet tonight. Everyone is looking forward to it.”
“Is that so?” Lydia controlled her expression and tried to look calm.
Lucia said, “I didn’t expect a big investor like Mr. Marcel will come to the opening ceremony. I thought he was busy all day long.”
Lucia kept talking about the gossip she had heard while Lydia kept looking at the time. The auspicious time for the heaven worship ceremony had passed, but the people outside had not gathered together yet.
Lydia interrupted Lucia’s words and went outside to find a stage manager to ask about the time.
The stage manager was feeling extremely hot. He wiped his sweat and said helplessly, “I have no choice. Let’s wait a little longer. The female lead hasn’t arrived yet.”
“How long will it take?”
“I don’t know. We are all waiting.”
Lucia heard this and could not help but pout, “This first female lead is deliberately acting like a big shot. She made everyone wait for so long on such a hot day.”
Lydia asked, “Do you know who’s the first female lead?”
“I don’t know. Although the filming of ‘The Big Family’ had caused a commotion on the internet, the casting was kept extremely confidential. Because they didn’t want other people to choose the roles for various reasons. As for me, I’m a newbie, so I didn’t ask much.”
“Hmm.” Lydia was the same. She had been thinking about the roles for some time. Since the crew didn’t announce the list of actors, Lydia had left it alone.
However, at this moment, surrounded by the hot air, Lydia suddenly had a bad premonition.
After waiting for another hour, when everyone was getting impatient, someone outside finally shouted that the first female lead had arrived.
Lydia and Lucia were about to go out when someone came in and said, “There’s no rush. The first female lead is doing her styling.”
After waiting for another half an hour, it became lively outside. The assistant director asked everyone to go out and prepare for the incense offering ceremony.
Lydia and Lucia came to the side of the altar. Someone shouted, “Move aside! Move aside!” Everyone looked up and saw a huge parasol moving in the crowd.
As everyone moved aside, the first female lead under the parasol revealed herself.
Lydia’s pupils instantly dilated. This… Irene Dunbar? Irene Dunbar, who had such poor acting skills, was actually the female lead?
Lucia was so shocked that she almost jumped up. “Isn’t Irene Dunbar a popular celebrity? She actually wants to act in this?”
Although Lucia said it very softly, someone beside her still heard it. The person beside her snorted coldly and glared at Lucia, “You are just a sour grape.”
Lucia turned around to look at the person beside her. It just so happened that she knew him. He was a slightly famous actor, and it was said that he had a good relationship with Irene Dunbar.
As a newcomer, Lucia did not want to cause trouble, so she could only suppress her anger.
Irene Dunbar gradually walked to the side of the altar. Among the crowd, she saw Lydia at first glance.
