133: The audition ended successfully, and Da Mimi and Ying Bao were selected as the female lead of the movie

“Because of your poor character.”

Hahaha… Hee hee… Da Mimi and Ying Bao couldn't help but show a faint smile when they heard Lu Xingye's answer.

Chairman Lu, you really dare to speak your mind.

Although they didn't like Xiao Hong either.

They were even ashamed of Xiao Hong's behavior, but for the sake of her reputation, they never dared to say it out loud.

They didn't expect Chairman Lu to say what they dared to think but didn't dare to do.

And he said it publicly.

This is equivalent to ruining a celebrity.

Chairman Lu is truly a remarkable person.

However.

Lu Xingye's answer also put their minds at ease.

They could see that Chairman Lu genuinely wanted to make movies, and wasn't using filmmaking as an excuse to sleep with female celebrities… “You…”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Hong’s face instantly turned ashen.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

She never would have thought that Lu Xingye would dare to openly insult her.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Do I still need to say it?”

“You spread your legs, made seductive gestures towards me, and even invited me to a private place?”

“You were trying to seduce me, weren’t you!” Lu Xingye met Xiao Hong’s gaze, completely unafraid.

I have money and power, why would I be afraid of a female celebrity like you?

“You’re talking nonsense…”

Xiao Hong’s true colors were exposed, her face paled slightly, and her voice cracked a little.

The thing celebrities fear most is scandal; if Lu Xingye were to spread this, her career would be over for good.

“Please leave!”

“Suihuo Film and Television does not welcome you.”

Lu Xingye didn't even bother to speak to her; he simply waved his hand, and two robots escorted her out… *cough cough*… Lu Xingye lightly coughed, drawing the attention of the celebrities.

“Um… you should all be method actors, right?”

“I don’t like celebrities who resort to schemes.”

“If any of you still intend to play tricks, please have the decency to withdraw from this audition quietly.”

Lu Xingye's humorous words made the female celebrities cover their faces and chuckle again.

Hee hee… “Then Chairman Lu, you are truly a noble gentleman who can remain unswayed by temptation.”

…Next.

The auditions continued, but Lu Xingye didn't encounter any truly incisive and refreshing performances.

The auditions were now nearing their end, with only Ying Bao and Da Mimi left to try out.

Are their acting skills up to par?

Lu Xingye was a little worried.

If their acting skills weren't up to par, he would have to find new actors.

If that happened, it would inevitably delay the filming of the movie.

This was not what Lu Xingye wanted.

Ever since tianyan-1 detected the gray mist-shrouded areas on Blue Star, he had felt a sense of urgency, a pressing need to make himself stronger.

“Next, which of you two will audition first?” Lu Xingye looked at the two remaining female celebrities.

“I’ll go first.”

Da Mimi hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.

Then, in the studio, she chose a black riding suit and put it on.

She perfected every detail.

When she emerged in her changed attire, her entire demeanor was different.

Cool, cold, and with a hint of heartbreak… Lu Xingye looked at Da Mimi’s appearance, his eyes suddenly lighting up—this was it, she had the feel of the female lead in the movie… Da Mimi squatted on the ground, holding her head in her hands, tears flowing out “wah la wah la,” but without making any sound of crying.

At this moment.

A middle-aged assistant, playing the female lead’s butler, walked over from the side.

He gently patted Da Mimi’s shoulder with his right hand.

“Yinyun, your parents are dead.”

“Please accept my condolences.”

Da Mimi suddenly looked up, her tear-filled eyes chillingly cold.

“Condolences?”

“I will never accept condolences.”

That cold, bone-chilling… yet incredibly resolute voice echoed throughout the entire studio.

At this point!

Da Mimi’s audition ended… Although the segment Da Mimi performed was very short, less than a minute.

But Lu Xingye was thoroughly shocked.

What does it mean to be incisive?

This is incisive.

The four words “never accept condolences” perfectly displayed the female lead's heartbroken and resolute character.

“Hmm.”

“Well acted.”

Lu Xingye nodded slightly at Da Mimi, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Da Mimi was more suited to playing a cool female lead; although it deviated slightly from the original script, it wasn't a big problem, a slight modification to the script would suffice.

Originally, he had intended to cast the female lead directly.

But there was still one celebrity left to audition, so he decided to wait a little longer.

“Last one, it’s your turn.”

“Are you still going to audition?”

“Why not?” Ying Bao smiled sweetly and confidently.

Unlike Da Mimi, who took a cool approach, Ying Bao took a vibrant and youthful approach, like the girl next door.

Through her excellent acting skills.

And her pitiful, charming demeanor, she created dramatic impact.

It must be said.

After watching Ying Bao’s audition, Lu Xingye was once again shocked.

As a national-level celebrity, Ying Bao’s acting skills were truly superb.

In this segment, Ying Bao didn't say a single word throughout, yet she brought the atmosphere to its peak, completely immersing people in the mood.

It made people feel as if they were personally experiencing the events in the movie.

Riveting.

Empathic… Originally, Lu Xingye was going to make Da Mimi the female lead of the movie, but after seeing Ying Bao’s audition, he hesitated again.

Compared to Da Mimi’s cool and resolute character.

Ying Bao’s girl-next-door character was undoubtedly more suitable for the female lead.

This was not a matter of acting skill.

Rather, it was a matter of their performance styles.

In Lu Xingye’s eyes, both of these national-level celebrities had equally excellent acting skills… Should he let Ying Bao be the female lead?

But… if that were the case, eliminating Da Mimi would be a bit of a shame.

How about this… Perhaps he suddenly thought of something, and Lu Xingye’s eyes lit up.

Both of these female celebrities had good acting skills.

And the key was that he liked them.

So… Lu Xingye decided to revise the script of the movie [Eternal Life], keeping the general content and main plot unchanged, but altering the main character aspect.

He planned to add another female lead to the movie.

To put it simply:

He planned to change [Eternal Life] into a dual-protagonist movie.

Da Mimi and Ying Bao are both daughters of the CEO of Kangda Group. They both witness the natural death of their parents and then make different life choices.

Hehe!

A movie with dual female protagonists would definitely be more engaging, and different life experiences are more likely to resonate with people.

Immediately after.

Lu Xingye considered it for a moment, then made a direct decision.

“Congratulations, your auditions have passed.”

“From now on, you will be the female protagonists of the movie [Eternal Life].”

???

…???

Upon hearing this, Da Mimi and Ying Bao’s eyes lit up, and a surge of joy welled up in their hearts.

A moment later.

They suddenly realized a problem.

There was only one female lead in [Eternal Life], and both of them had passed the audition, so who exactly was the female lead?

Me?

Or her?

In terms of acting, they were old rivals, and naturally, they didn't want to be overshadowed by the other in the role of female lead.
