A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 182 Audition

After getting out of the elevator, Mu Yan suddenly asked, "Mr. Ning, who was that person who just greeted you at the elevator door? Looks somewhat familiar!"

Ning Shishen looked at her, eyes filled with confusion.

Following behind, Director Gong said, "That’s Manager Li from the design department, talented and accomplished. At twenty-one, she won an international jewelry design award and is a top student of Huamei. Does Miss Mu know her?"

Mu Yan gave a slight smile, "She is my senior."

"Miss Mu is also in the art program?" Director Gong was a bit surprised.

Mu Yan nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out midway."

"That’s a bit of a pity; otherwise, we might have become colleagues." Director Gong said with a smile.

Mu Yan just smiled without saying a word. Back then, she was more inclined towards oil painting, but she also dabbled in comics.

Of course, she once tried jewelry design because there was a design award with a generous prize.

Unfortunately, her completed design sketches disappeared mysteriously, and when they reappeared, they had become someone else’s work.

After leaving IOC, the group went to have lunch together.

During the meal, it was mostly Song Cheng’an and Ning Shishen talking, with Mu Yan occasionally responding.

Afterward, Song Cheng’an drove Mu Yan to the audition.

On the way, Song Cheng’an asked Mu Yan, "How did you meet Boss Ning?"

"We met once at a jewelry store when I was accompanying Luo Yao to buy a bracelet."

Song Cheng’an chuckled, "What a coincidence, he’s Ning Ze’s big brother."

Mu Yan was a bit surprised, that really was quite a coincidence.

Before long, they arrived at the audition location.

Originally set for next week, the "Immortal Sword Fate" production team suddenly decided to start earlier, so the time was changed.

Most of the actors were already chosen, except for the other female lead role.

Yes, this drama has a dual female lead setting.

Luckily, there weren’t many lines in the audition, and Mu Yan had memorized all the lines for the roles she could audition for.

The location was at another hotel, and the auditions were approaching the end.

Song Cheng’an led Mu Yan, jogging into the hotel, and took the elevator to the sixth floor where the auditions were held.

On stage, someone was auditioning while Mu Yan sat in the back rows, concentrating on the performance.

The audition scene was where one of the female leads, Song Liuli, had to leave the male lead to return to the Demon Realm, a goodbye scene with the male lead.

Though she deeply loved the male lead, there were reasons she had to leave.

Song Liuli’s character was noble, with a cold yet gentle demeanor. In the game, though she was the second female lead, her popularity surpassed the first female lead, winning over countless players’ hearts.

This was why the main actress role had still not been finalized.

The actress on stage finished her performance and was wiping away tears.

The judges sitting in the front row began scoring, and it seemed like the overall impression was quite good.

Suddenly, someone from the judges’ table stood up and shouted to the back, "Who else hasn’t auditioned yet?"

Mu Yan glanced around and, seeing no one else rising, she stood up and said, "Me!"

"Hurry up!" the person urged.

Mu Yan took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.

She turned to face the judges below, bowed deeply, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Mu Yan."

As she lifted her head, she noticed the young man sitting in the middle; wasn’t that He Jianzhou? He was a judge as well.

No, she remembered, he was the male lead of this drama.

He Jianzhou met her gaze and gave her a slight smile, appearing quite calm and friendly.

Understanding his nature well, Mu Yan just felt that his smile was not well-intentioned.

The staff, seeing that Mu Yan hadn’t started yet, prompted, "Are you ready? You can start."

Mu Yan snapped back to reality, nodded, and said, "Okay."

She took a deep breath; this was her first leading role, she had to give it her all.

She closed her eyes, merging her emotions with the lines.
