Chapter 484: Chapter 484

Qiao Xi had almost forgotten about this matter.

Wang Li grunted in acknowledgement, "Yes, today, the audition starts at two o’clock, and I will accompany Nan Zhi in the afternoon."

Thinking of Producer Huang’s difficulties for Nan Zhi last time, Qiao Xi furrowed her brows and said, "I’ll join you this afternoon."

Although Producer Huang was not the biggest producer in the drama, he still held substantial speaking power, and she hoped Nan Zhi could secure the role.

She happened to be free today, so it was not improper for her to make the trip.

Qiao Xi went upstairs to find Shen Dang.

Upon arriving at the company, of course, there were things to deal with, and Shen Dang was looking down at some documents. When Qiao Xi entered, he looked up.

"Finished talking with the agent?"

He languidly set aside the documents in his hands.

Qiao Xi stood in front of his desk and smiled lightly, "I need to step out this afternoon."

"Nan Zhi’s auditioning, and I’m going to take a look."

Shen Dang frowned but didn’t stop her, "After you’re done, call me, and I’ll come to pick you up."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Okay."

In the afternoon, Qiao Xi and Wang Li left GK Entertainment. The driver picked up Nan Zhi, and they headed to the audition site.

The audition was at the production crew’s location.

The TV drama had started filming a few days ago, and the role of the third female lead had been settled, but something suddenly went wrong with the actress.

Due to the importance of this role, the director had trouble finding a suitable replacement and opened up auditions to the public.

Many third-tier and below actresses were desperately trying to land this role.

When Qiao Xi and her party arrived at the production crew, they found not less than seven or eight people auditioning, indicative of stiff competition.

The other artists had only brought assistants, but Nan Zhi had the boss herself in attendance.

Qiao Xi, both a popular and competent actress, caused others to feel hopeless about their chances as soon as she appeared with Nan Zhi.

Qiao Xi was now undeniably in the limelight.

With a wealth of resources being offered to her, how could they compete?

Since winning the Movie Queen award, Qiao Xi’s status had risen, garnering more respect, along with popularity among the general public.

Seeing Qiao Xi, those who knew her and those who didn’t all came up to greet her, showing warm attitudes.

Qiao Xi responded with a slight nod, polite yet distant, even her smile seemed to be perfected through practice.

At this moment, a girl ran out of the audition room, looking rather pallid.

Qiao Xi just so happened to know her, an idol turned actress not long ago, whose performances in TV dramas hadn’t made much of a splash.

A crew member came over to notify the next person to audition.

The girl who had just finished auditioning didn’t leave.

The director hadn’t announced the final result, so it was unclear who would ultimately receive the role.

Everyone was waiting and watching.

When it was time to announce Nan Zhi’s audition, Qiao Xi smiled at her, "Nan Zhi, relax."

Nan Zhi nodded her head.

The third female lead in the drama was a universally recognized beauty, so naturally, the actress had to be beautiful, surpassing the others.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t fit the character.

When the director saw Nan Zhi, his eyes lit up.

Nan Zhi was undoubtedly beautiful, delicately gorgeous, with a very moldable face, but it remained to be seen how her acting was.

If beauty and talent both were present, there would be no fear she wouldn’t become a hit!

Nan Zhi received the script.

After the two minutes’ performance time ended, the director stood up, excited, "That’s right, you are the Qiansi I want!"

Qiansi was the name of the third female lead in the drama.

The director asked, "You are Nan Zhi, right?"

It’s not easy to find such a spirited newcomer!

Standing in this place once again, Nan Zhi felt her blood boiling inside her.

She nodded emphatically, "Yes!"

In the past, she acted not for money but for fun, purely as a hobby.

Now, it was not only about money but also about an opportunity for her to stand out. Nan Zhi knew this role was stunning!

The director finalized, "You are in great shape now, go get your makeup done, we’ll shoot a scene first."

Nan Zhi exhaled, completely relaxed, "Okay, Director!"

She beamed with a smile.

The role was in the bag!

Even as the third female lead, she was content.

Suddenly someone spoke up from the side, their eyes on Nan Zhi carrying a hint of malice, "Nan Zhi was previously blacklisted by the Gu family."

This person knew someone from the Gu Family?

Nan Zhi’s face changed color, but before she could speak, she heard another say, "That news is outdated, didn’t you know that Qiao Xi’s studio signed Nan Zhi?"

Everybody knew what those two words signified.

Qiao Xi’s name had been exceptionally hot recently.

The director looked up at Nan Zhi, "You are with Qiao Xi’s studio?"

Nan Zhi nodded again, neither humble nor haughty, "Yes, Qiao Xi is my boss."

The director actually thought that Qiao Xi would be the most appropriate for the role of the third female lead, but how could she possibly take that part? Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

He hadn’t expected Qiao Xi to sign such a beautiful artist.

As for who had blacklisted Nan Zhi, he could care less.

All he wanted was an actor suitable for the role.

Besides, with her now backed by Qiao Xi and GK, what did she have to fear in this entertainment industry?

Signing with Qiao Xi’s studio was akin to grasping a powerful leg, Nan Zhi really had reversed her fortunes.

The director put down his word, "Go get your makeup done, don’t waste time."

The crew led Nan Zhi to the makeup room.

Nan Zhi signaled to them, walking confidently to Qiao Xi’s side, "Boss, the director has asked me to get made up."

She had never let Qiao Xi down.

"Good," Qiao Xi smiled at her, "then go, and put your all into what comes next."

The surrounding artists waiting for the results were stunned.

Had Nan Zhi just effortlessly secured the third female lead role?

Some of them hadn’t even auditioned yet.

Was it because of Qiao Xi’s influence that Nan Zhi was selected by the director?

Indeed, people with backing are formidable.

In an instant, the looks directed at Qiao Xi changed.

Knowing Qiao Xi was involved in the project, the director sought her out, "Boss Qiao, the newcomer you’ve signed has a boundless future."

Briefly touching, then parting.

Qiao Xi offered a light smile, "It’s a pleasure to collaborate, and I hope the director will take good care of our Nan Zhi in the future."

The director dismissed it with a wave of his hand, "Don’t talk like that, it would be even better if we have a chance to collaborate in the future."

He could predict Nan Zhi’s resurgence, even more brilliant than before she was blacklisted.

By then, it wouldn’t be Nan Zhi auditioning, but him seeking her out for roles.

Once you have fame and position, scripts come to you, and auditions are only for newcomers.

The director felt it was a pity that Qiao Xi wasn’t in the TV circle; otherwise, he would have the opportunity to collaborate with her.

Qiao Xi nodded, "There will be."

That was just a courtesy.

Nan Zhi’s makeup was not simple. Half an hour later, she emerged from makeup.

The various hair ornaments on her head were weighty and each was exquisite.

Right now, dressed in a pristine white feather gown, she looked ethereal, like a fairy.

As if she had stepped out of a painting, the very ’white moonlight’ that the male lead pined for but couldn’t have.

The director, "Boss Qiao, your judgment is indeed good."
