Chi Wan had never acted in a movie before, so this was an excellent opportunity for her. She had been in showbiz for so long and could not afford to remain in her comfort zone.
She must get this role!
She recalled the scenario and calmed herself down.
The assistant director passed the audition script to her. In the particular scene, the character she was about to portray, Que’er, had been suspected by the organization and she had to prove that she was not an undercover cop.
This role required specific skills. This opportunity was a challenge to Chi Wan because she was always used to filming TV shows.
At the bottom of the stage, Director Liu gave her some time to memorize her lines. Then, with a stern face, he snapped his fingers.
The assistant director announced, “Begin!”
Chi Wan nodded and fell on one knee. Her expression shifted at once. There was agitation and even anger hidden within the depths of her calm gaze.
“Elder Xiao, just because someone saw a person with a build like mine, you think I’m a traitor? I won’t stand for this! Two years ago, I ventured deep into enemy territory for the organization and got shot in the shoulder. Now, I can’t even move my right arm properly! One year ago, when you were trapped in the Golden Triangle, I entered that area alone and got injected with drugs. I almost died there! And I got addicted too! Traitor? Would you believe me even if I said I was one?”
She uttered each word slowly and did not exaggerate her performance. She calmly stated her character’s contribution to the organization instead.
Everyone in the audience was inclined to agree with her.
She was not a traitor!
Director Liu’s stern face began to soften. He suddenly made a gesture.
Chi Wan was about to continue acting when a voice interrupted her.
“How am I supposed to believe a one-sided story?”
It was… Huo Tianye’s voice!
Chi Wan’s heart sank. She tried to control her facial expression and stared at Huo Tianye, who walked out clad in a black outfit.
His narrow eyes were cloaked with playfulness.
He sat down on the chair in front of Chi Wan and crossed his legs. Leaning forward, he stroked her chin and said in a grave voice, “Que’er, I want you to prove it to me!”
For one moment, Chi Wan had the urge to push his hand away.
However, she could not do that, as it was Director Liu’s instruction.
She previously had never heard of Huo Tianye participating in this film! After all, it was just a second male lead!
It would be a huge joke for an A-lister like him to take on the role of a second male lead!
Chi Wan would not have joined this production had she known that Huo Tianye would be involved!
They met each other’s gaze and sparks seemed to have formed.
In the following scenario, Chi Wan had to seduce the second male lead with her beauty.
Based on the script, there was a romance subplot between the second male lead and the second female lead.
She wrapped a hand around Huo Tianye’s neck and asked him suggestively, “How do you want me to prove it, Elder Xiao…”
Huo Tianye regarded her knowingly and a determined look appeared in his eyes.
Chi Wan clenched her teeth!
She would rather fail the audition than to give in to his whims!
She was nevertheless reluctant to give up this opportunity just because of a f*ckboy!
She would wing it!
She would have no regrets even if she failed the audition!
Suddenly, sadness and grief emerged from her gaze as Chi Wan paraded towards Huo Tianye, grabbed the back of his chair with both hands and locked him in a pseudo embrace.
Her bright red lips moved closer to the man’s charming face.
“How do you want me to… Prove it, Elder Xiao? It’s been so many years. Don’t you know how I feel?”
