After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 150 Main Male Character Selection

"This shouldn’t be happening!"

Jiang Lingxi closed the book she borrowed from Xu Ling’an and looked up at Tong Yue, who was sitting across from her, "Sister Tong, you’ve said this eight times already, no wait, that was the ninth time!"

"I don’t want to say it either!" Tong Yue slapped the book in Jiang Lingxi’s hands, "I can’t stay as calm as you. Aren’t you worried at all? It’s been three days, not three hours. Why hasn’t the film crew sent any notice yet?"

"Wait, did something go wrong? Should I call and ask?"

Jiang Lingxi took her hand off the book, "Don’t wrinkle the book."

The perfectly tidy books she borrowed from Xu Ling’an’s room, although frequently read, showed that the little girl treasured her books dearly. It’s normal, those who love learning also love books.

She didn’t want to return them wrinkled when she borrowed them in perfect condition.

Tong Yue looked speechlessly at her hand that was pushed back and then glanced at the phone on the table, which hadn’t moved at all. "The crew next door of ’Qingcheng Legend’ even announced their filming start date. What on earth is Director Wei doing?"

Jiang Lingxi gestured at the phone, "Then make a call and ask."

Tong Yue: "..."

Despite how confidently she spoke earlier, the truth is, "I’m scared."

"What if the crew is dealing with some difficulties and it led to the delay? If I call, I’d be hitting a nerve."

"Then calm down and wait patiently."

Tong Yue sighed, "That’s all we can do."

Just as she finished speaking, a message notification sounded. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Tong Yue immediately checked her phone, but seeing it still black, she reminded disappointedly, "Xiao Xi, it seems it’s your phone that’s got a message."

Jiang Lingxi took out her phone from her pocket, it was a friend request.

Note: "Wei Minmin."

She casually clicked accept.

It seemed like the person on the other end had been holding their phone waiting. As soon as she accepted, they sent an emoji of a ’cat peeking’ over.

Jiang Lingxi could almost imagine the girl resting her chin on her hands waiting for her reply.

So, she typed back, "Where did you get my number?"

If she remembered correctly, all the communications with the ’Empress’ film crew should be handled by Tong Yue, let alone this was her personal number, which had very few contacts.

"Haha, Sister Xi, aren’t I resourceful? You’d never guess how I got your number."

Jiang Lingxi looked at this message for a full minute before replying, "Is there someone in your family named Wei Ke?"

It wasn’t hard to guess. Wei Xiao is Wei Minmin’s uncle, meaning there were at least two brothers in the Wei family, so besides Wei Minmin, there should be other younger members in the family.

And in her phone, the only person with the last name Wei was Wei Ke, whom she knew through Mr. Xu, and he was about the same age as Wei Minmin.

Tracing back to the Wei family tradition, the male members have single-character names, and the females have two-character names.

Putting together all these factors, it was hard not to guess.

But when she sent this message, Wei Minmin almost jumped off the couch.

"Did my brother tell you in advance?"

"No." Afraid that Wei Minmin wouldn’t believe her, Jiang Lingxi even sent a screenshot of her chat with Wei Ke, which showed that they last video chatted several days ago.

With such ironclad evidence before her eyes, Wei Minmin had no choice but to believe, though reluctantly, and sent back a thumbs-up emoji.

Jiang Lingxi found her emojis quite amusing, so she decided to save them one by one, thinking she might use them too.

Seeing Tong Yue, who was still frowning and seemed frustrated, an idea came to her.

"Minmin, is there any issue with the film crew?"

"Huh? No, why do you ask, Sister Xi?"

"I haven’t received the audition results, and my agent is really worried."

Wei Minmin first sent a ’cat bowing’ emoji, "This kind of thing isn’t usually disclosed privately, but considering we’re going to be future colleagues, I’ll give a little hint. Actually, it’s my uncle who’s mainly worried."

Jiang Lingxi had just saved the new emoji she sent when another message arrived, "Sister Xi, you know my uncle is incredibly picky about actors. This time he’s stuck on the male lead role. It’s been several audition days, and he hasn’t found anyone he’s completely satisfied with yet."

"Shen Moqing?"

"Yes, even the other teachers have tried to persuade my uncle to lower his standards, but it seems he’s stubbornly refusing to compromise. Now, everyone can only keep screening actors while putting the rest on hold."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She never would have guessed this was the reason.

However, if they randomly picked someone to play Shen Moqing, she might find it hard to stay focused during scenes with them.

From this perspective, Director Wei’s insistence was at least beneficial to her.

But, in this world a millennium later, is there really someone who can perfectly portray Shen Moqing?

Thinking about this, a figure flashed through her mind, and she quickly shook her head.

The person wasn’t an actor and seemed to be busy with work. Even if they had the right demeanor, they probably wouldn’t have the time.

Putting aside her thoughts, Jiang Lingxi messaged Wei Minmin back: "Director Wei’s intentions are good, don’t worry. Maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for with little effort."

Although Wei Minmin thought that with her uncle’s picky nature, it would likely be a lot more hassle, she replied anyway, "I’ll take your word for it, Sister Xi!"

Ending the conversation, instead of closing the chat screen, Jiang Lingxi handed the phone to Tong Yue.

She thought the chat might help ease Sister Tong’s anxiety.

"So, you were chatting with Wei Minmin just now," Tong Yue said as she scrolled down. "Future colleague? So, does this mean you’ve secured the audition?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded.

Tong Yue let out a long sigh of relief and continued reading, "It’s because the male lead hasn’t been decided yet. It’s been three days, and eligible actors should have auditioned by now. Could it be they’ll hold an open casting next? That would take a long time!"

Saying this, she looked at Jiang Lingxi, somewhat hesitant to speak, "I thought since you’re preparing to join the crew, I haven’t lined up work for you. If Director Wei holds an open casting for the male lead, you’ll be stuck waiting?"

"Open casting is just your guess, Sister Tong."

"True."

"Actually, regarding the male lead, I have someone in mind who would be quite suitable."

Tong Yue immediately leaned in closer, "Who? I’ll recommend them to Director Wei right away."

"Shen Yunqing."

Tong Yue: "..." She rubbed her ear, "Say it again!"

If she didn’t mishear just now, she’d never dare to recommend that person!
