Very soon, it was Shen Que’s turn to audition. The director’s assistant came over and said, “Miss Shen, you need to audition a part of the female lead’s part. Please go and get your makeup and clothes done first.”
“Okay.” As she said that, Shen Que stood up and followed the director’s assistant towards the dressing room.
When the crowd heard that Shen Que was auditioning as the female lead, they naturally felt disdain. They felt that they were already lucky to be able to get a third or fourth female role.
“Hehe, who does she think she is? She’s thinking too highly of herself to audition for the female lead.”
“Is she even capable of acting? I’m speechless.”
“Let’s just watch her cry after being scolded by the director.”
Shen que did not mind the ridicule from the crowd at all. She was very confident in her acting skills. After all, the title of “Grand Slam Film Queen” did not come for nothing. When she entered the dressing room, a stylist quickly came over to help with her makeup. After the stylist finished Shen Que’s makeup swiftly, Shen Que went to change into a cheongsam. When the stylist was doing the finishing touch-ups, her gaze could not help but focus on Shen Que’s face, because she was simply too beautiful. Her beauty was to the extent that the stylist herself could not believe that this makeup was her doing!
As expected, the moment Shen Que walked into the audition hall, everyone’s eyes were unconsciously attracted to her. Her hair was tied up into a bun, coupled with her exquisite little face, and her curvaceous figure that was encased within a cheongsam, they only felt that Shen Que was like a classic beauty who had walked out of a painting.
“This is great! This is the person we’ve been looking for!” The screenwriter could not help but clap his hands in admiration.
Feeling the familiar gaze, Shen Que looked up and was surprised to find that Fan Cheng was also one of the interviewers. This man had not told her about this matter. As soon as Shen Que entered, Fan Cheng felt his breath stop. The way she looked in the cheongsam reminded him of how this little woman had moaned under him last night.
Their gazes met in mid-air. Shen Que could see in Fan Cheng’s eyes that he was stunned by her beauty. She could not help but shift her gaze away and focus on her role.
This time, she was playing the part where the female lead cut her hair and acted as a female student to save the female students from the clutches of the Japanese. Shen Que immersed herself into the role as if everything around her had returned to that era. Her eyes were filled with determination. She let her hair loose, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut at her hair resolutely. Her hair was strewn all over the place. The people watching were all moved by this scene. Some of the more sentimental girls even started to cry.
When the scene ended, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. Everyone was praising Shen Que’s acting skills. Sun Yi even decided on the spot to choose Shen Que as the female lead for this movie. Even Fan Cheng looked at Shen que with amazement in his eyes. This woman had given him too many surprises.
There were originally still some who were waiting to audition for the female lead, but the director’s assistant directly came to announce that Sun Yi had chosen Shen Que as the female lead, indicating that they could leave now.
When this news came out, everyone was shocked. They did not understand why Sun Yi had chosen Shen Que as the female lead. The film queen that had come stood up immediately, saying unhappily, “Why did you choose her directly? Don’t tell me that a film queen like me is not worthy of acting in Director Sun Yi’s movie?”
Faced with the film queen’s question, the director’s assistant smiled awkwardly and said, “But Miss Shen’s acting is really good, and she fits the image of the female lead very well.”
“I don’t care. Ask your director to give me an explanation,” The film queen said angrily.
She had read the script this time. The content of the movie was very good, and it catered to the public’s tastes. If she could act in it, she would definitely be able to attract a wave of popularity. At that time, it was not impossible for her to get another film queen award.
The director’s assistant had no choice but to lead the film queen to Sun Yi. Such a big celebrity was not someone that people like them could afford to offend..
