Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 221 - 220 She appeared at the door of his
Chapter 221: Chapter 220: She appeared at the door of his private room Chapter 221 -220: She appeared at the door of his private room Director Jih Feng’s new film auditions were held in a five-star hotel.
Zhong Ling waited for Ming Yao at the hotel entrance.
The two entered the hotel, where it was heated, and Ming Yao took off her coat and handed it to Zhong Ling.
Underneath, Ming Yao wore a long red dress.
Her figure was enchanting, her brows and eyes seductive.
She was the spitting image of the protagonist Peerless from the movie “Peerless.”
“Ah! Sister Yao, you’re killing me with that look.”
Ming Yao curved her red lips, “Of course, today your Sister Yao is gunning for the leading lady.”
She didn’t like the entertainment industry, but the former Ming Yao loved acting, and Ming Yao planned to shoot a decent work before leaving the circle.
It would at least leave the former Ming Yao without regrets.
There were many actors who came to audition.
Ming Wan was among them too.
However, with Ming Wan’s looks, she definitely couldn’t play the charming and unparalleled main female role, Peerless.
She auditioned for the second female lead.
Seeing the strikingly beautiful Ming Yao in a red dress, immediately drawing eyes as she entered, Ming Wan felt jealous and disdainful.
If it wasn’t for usurping the favor of senior Shi Yuan, would she be living a good life now?
So what if she knows how to dress now, did her acting improve as well?
She thinks she can play the leading lady with that level of skill?
That’s simply delusional!
Since the last birthday banquet, Ming Wan no longer bothered to pretend in front of Ming Yao.
She ignored her as if she wasn’t there.
After all, it wouldn’t be long before Ming Yao would become a cast-off wife!
The leading lady Peerless in “Peerless” is a seductive and bewitching character who, to save the male lead from turning to darkness and becoming a demon, ends up sacrificing herself in the movie.
In her death scene, Peerless, tragically and beautifully, fell into the arms of the male lead, clothed in red, with blood trailing from the corners of her lips, and her stunning face still wearing a soul-stealing smile.
Ming Yao drew number six and got the part where the female lead ultimately redeems the male lead before dying.
This part, if not performed with great skill, unable to move the audience, would definitely not make her the leading lady.
Zhong Ling was full of worry.
She hadn’t expected Sister Yao to have such bad luck to draw the most difficult segment.
The actress who auditioned before Ming Yao was Qin Lianyi, a big-name star, who had her own private resting room.
Director Jih Feng auditioned several potential leading ladies back-to-back, and though Qin Lianyi did alright, she was not enough to dazzle him.
However, considering Qin Lianyi was Fourth Brother’s top actress at SY Media, he needed to show some respect for Fourth Brother.
Director Jih Feng drew a circle on Qin Lianyi’s name.
“Miss Qin, you may go back and await the news,” he said.
Seeing Director Jih draw the circle over her name, Qin Lianyi knew that barring any surprise, she was likely to be the leading lady.
When Qin Lianyi emerged, she had a radiant smile, beaming with confidence. Zhong Ni asked her, “Sister Lianyi, is it all set?”
Qin Lianyi made an OK gesture with her hand.
Zhong Ling happened to hear the conversation between Qin Lianyi and Zhong Ni.
Returning to Ming Yao’s side, she sighed and said, “It seems like the lead role is predestined for Qin Lianyi.”
Before Ming Yao could respond, the director’s assistant came out and called, “Number six can go in for the audition.”
Ming Yao patted Zhong Ling’s shoulder, “Never mind the predetermined outcome, we won’t know until I try.”
Ming Yao walked into the audition room, and Director Jih Feng, who had little hope for the subsequent actresses, was momentarily dazzled when he saw Ming Yao.
Like a flame in her red dress, Ming Yao took her place on stage as if she were the leading lady he had been seeking.
After introducing herself, Ming Yao began to perform the segment she had drawn.
Although there were no actors to play opposite her, she was not affected in the slightest and quickly entered her performance state.
After about five or six minutes, Jih Feng, the deputy director, the producer, and everyone else had been moved by Ming Yao’s performance, with a hint of red welling up in their eyes.
It wasn’t until Ming Yao bowed to the audience below that they realized her performance had ended.
Yet they were still immersed in her touching performance.
Jih Feng led the way in applauding.
“Not bad, not bad. There are a few more auditions after this; once they are all completed, the results will be announced. You can go back and wait for the news,” Jih Feng said, his eyes filled with undisguised appreciation.
After Ming Yao left, several more actors auditioned.
But none of them matched the image of Peerless in Jih Feng’s mind.
He said to the other judges, “I think we should go for Ming Yao.”
Jih Feng’s films never cared whether the lead was a high-profile star or an influencer; as long as someone fit his vision for the protagonist, he didn’t mind if they were newcomers!
He had the power to make stars!
“Brother Jih Feng, you can’t choose her!”
Yan Youling entered the audition room, and she whispered a few words into Jih Feng’s ear, “That woman once seduced Brother Ting, Brother Ting really dislikes her. You wouldn’t offend Brother Ting for her sake, would you?”
Jih Feng’s hand holding the pen paused, “Is that so?”
“Yes, she has a very bad reputation. If you choose her, you’ll face countless problems later on. Choosing Qin Lianyi would be the correct choice!”
…
In the evening,
Ming Yao hadn’t received a call from the Peerless production team.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
Rather, news had leaked that Jih Feng and the production crew had a meal with Qin Lianyi.
“I’m so angry!” Zhong Ling stormed into the office, fuming, “Zhong Ni just called to brag to me that Peerless is almost certainly going to Qin Lianyi!”
“She also said…” Zhong Ling couldn’t finish her sentence.
Ming Yao lifted her long lashes, her beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at Zhong Ling, “What else did she say?”
“She also said that you’re nothing but a bed-warmer for Fourth Master, that you have looks but no acting skills. Even if you whisper in Fourth Master’s ear, Director Jih won’t choose you!”
Ming Yao’s brow furrowed slightly.
“I’ll go ask about the situation in Jih Feng’s office.”
Ming Yao personally visited Jih Feng’s company, but Jih Feng was not in. She found his assistant.
The assistant was a young and cute girl. Ming Yao, with a smile brimming with goodwill, gave her a set of cosmetics.
After chatting for a few sentences, the girl couldn’t bear to see the pretty lady upset and revealed what she knew.
“I heard that Director Jih initially had a high opinion of you, but then he received information claiming your character was not good, that you seduced his good friend Fourth Master through indecent means. Director Jih despises actresses who aren’t pure and self-respecting, especially since Fourth Master is married.”
Ming Yao, “…”
Upon leaving Jih Feng’s office, Ming Yao wondered if Jih Feng would attend the dinner Gu Siting was having with a few close friends tonight.
Ming Yao called Lu Zhou, learned that Gu Siting and his friends were at Yonghe Pavilion, and drove there.
Upon entering the pavilion, she slipped off her coat, revealing a red dress that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
Having received her call earlier, Lu Zhou was waiting in the lobby. When he saw her, he quickly approached.
“Wife,” he greeted.
Ming Yao hummed softly, “Take me to Fourth Master’s private room.”
Gu Siting and his friends were in Yonghe Pavilion’s best private room. Upon pushing the door open, the room was swirling with smoke and filled with laughter and voices.
There were both men and women, and the atmosphere was lively.
Ming Yao immediately spotted Gu Siting seated at the card table. Each of the other men had a woman accompanying them, only he was alone, but his solitary presence did nothing to diminish his natural air of cold pride.
Ming Yao walked in on her high heels.
At the same time, many in the private room turned to look at her.
