Ling Tianya smiled at the three men beside her. “Let’s get started.”
The woman’s smile made Director Kong and the others a little dizzy. He looked stupefied and nodded. “Okay, okay…”
Suddenly, Ling Tianya felt Ruan Zeyan squeeze her hand. She turned to look at Ruan Zeyan and found that the man’s eyes were still glued to the computer screen, but the corner of his mouth sank a bit and his whole body emitted coldness.
The temperature in the room dropped significantly, and Director Kong and others felt it. He quickly diverted his eyes and dared not look at Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya put her hand on her forehead in resignation. She took back the smile on her face, and the big hand that was squeezing her gradually relaxed.
The audition began with the supporting roles, some of which had been preassigned by the executives of Zhiya Entertainment, so the auditions for those roles were just a formality and Ling Tianya did not raise any objections. Usually, when a company invested in a movie, they wanted to bring in and promote new talent. Ling Tianya certainly didn’t want to be the bad guy, so as long as the new person’s acting was decent, there was no need to make a fuss about it.
The few newbies Miss Pan brought didn’t get any roles in the end. Originally she wanted them to perform well in front of Director Kong and the producer. However, their attention was totally captured by Ruan Zeyan, and their performances were a mess. Miss Pan was pissed.
Because she knew that Yi Tian was gunning for the top female lead role, the Instagram model was aware that she didn’t have the ability to compete with Yi Tian. So for the sake of insurance, she chose the secondary female lead role.
Shan Feifei’s acting was average, but she had a lot of fans and was very popular. In the end, she and another actress, who had decent acting skills but was less popular than her, were both on the short list.
Shan Feifei looked at the other actress and was secretly miffed. She began to plot a way for her to get this role.
Because Shan Feifei had a small conflict with Ling Tianya at the studio before, she was not sure if she would be the one who would stay in the end.
She couldn’t control the decisions of the judges, so she could only work on eliminating the competition.
The audition today was mostly for female characters. There were not many female characters in “Wonderland.” Furthermore, there were several roles that were predetermined, so the audition progressed very quickly.
After the options for the secondary female lead had been selected, the selection of the primary female lead was next.
The actresses who were competing for the primary female lead were all current star entertainers of Zhiya Entertainment. Ling Tianya spotted Yi Tian the moment she walked in the room.
Yi Tian’s strong confidence was laudable. She knew that Ling Tianya didn’t like her and that she had priority selection. Yet, she still came to the audition, which meant that she was quite confident in her acting skills.
The competition for the primary female lead was rather fierce. Everyone who dared to audition had great acting skills.
Finally, it was Yi Tian’s turn. She smiled and walked up, bowing deeply towards Ling Tianya.
Director Kong saw Yi Tian and his attitude was very easygoing. “Yi Tian, fancy seeing you here at this audition. Didn’t you just finish filming one of Miss Ling’s TV shows?”
Yi Tian smiled modestly. “Miss Ling’s work is just so good, and this is a collaboration with our company. Since the last one just finished, I wanted to give it a try. I really hope to work with Miss Ling again.”
Director Kong laughed and said to Ling Tianya, “Miss Ling, our Yi Tian is a loyal fan of yours.”
Ling Tianya listened to their words with an ambivalent look and did not comment.
Director Kong was rather surprised by Ling Tianya’s seemingly lukewarm attitude towards Yi Tian. But without saying anything more, he let Yi Tian start the audition performance.
Yi Yan’s enthusiasm dimmed a little. She was already so deferential, and Ling Tianya still embarrassed her in public.
