How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 456 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (68)
Even if that fleeting voice is really familiar, netizens will subconsciously deny that it is the correct answer.

They continued to discuss the film crew that Zhu Wen had auditioned for today.

Some even deduced the name of the hotel and the film crew based on the appearance of the hotel entrance where Zhu Wen entered.

then……

Got nothing.

Which film crew is so good at keeping secrets?

Either they are completely unknown, and even entertainment news doesn't bother to report on them.

Either they are too famous, or the reporters deliberately suppressed the news and didn't dare to discuss it casually.

Although the latter seems more likely, netizens subconsciously chose to believe the former.

after all……

Zhu Wen has only been famous for a few days?
Why would a major production team want her to audition?
Soon, Zhu Wen was called and entered the audition room.

Zhai Ling stayed with the live broadcast camera, trying to peek out from outside the audition room, but she seemed hesitant and timid.

Zhu Wen walked halfway there and saw Zhai Ling and the photographer had stopped at the door, so he calmly waved to them:
"Come in."

Zhai Ling and the photographer hesitated to move forward.

The viewers in the live stream were extremely puzzled.

Then Zhu Wen said:

"Don't worry, I asked the production team in advance, and they said they could livestream my audition process."

As she spoke, she deliberately looked ahead.

There were four interviewers at the long table at the front of the audition room.

Three of them were dumbfounded.

Only the white-haired man smiled knowingly.

He nodded in agreement:
"Yes, I personally agreed. I said that as long as you don't mind failing the audition and being ridiculed by the whole internet, you can do a live stream whenever you want."

Zhu Wen nodded:

"Oh, I don't mind."

The old man smiled:

"Hello, is this Zhu Wen? I'm Li Sheng."

Zhu Wen took the initiative to step forward and shake hands:

"Director Li, hello. I am Zhu Wen."

She showed no awareness of being selected as an auditionee and appeared relaxed and at ease throughout the process.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was taking a walk in her own backyard.

In contrast, Zhai Ling, the photographer, and hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream...

They were all in a dazed state.

However, the former was stage fright, while the latter couldn't believe their eyes.

Who? Who? Who?

I must be dreaming...

[Haha, this joke has gone a bit too far.]

[What a joke! It really is Li Sheng, Director Li! My goodness!]

[Besides screaming, I really don't know what else to say!]

So the person just now was really Cheng Qin?

【That's right! That explains it! No wonder I couldn't recognize Cheng Qin's voice after watching so many of her movies!】

This is truly unbelievable; Zhu Wen actually managed to get an audition for Li Sheng's movie in one fell swoop...

[It's just an audition, not a confirmed role, so there's no need to get so excited, right?]

[Don't you understand Li Sheng's status? Those who get personally interviewed by Li Sheng are all top-tier talents who have passed the initial screening! Every single one of them is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry! Zhu Wen being able to compete with them is already quite impressive, okay?]

What if it's just a small role in the audition? Like a minor supporting character, perhaps?

Do you think Director Li's time is worthless? He even watches auditions for minor supporting roles?

This variety show is truly amazing. First there was Xu Qing, now Li Sheng... I feel like I won't be surprised anymore no matter what happens in the future.

What? The actress is auditioning for the lead role?!

I'm numb, I'm really numb.

……

The fact that Zhu Wen auditioned for the female lead was told to her personally by Li Sheng.

He was asking Zhu Wen:

"If you were chosen to play this female lead, what would you do?" Netizens screamed in excitement.

Related trending topics quickly climbed the charts on various platforms.

The news of "Li Sheng's audition congratulations" is spreading like wildfire.

Inside the audition room, at the center of the storm, Zhu Wen remained remarkably calm.
"Do I need to do anything? I thought all I had to do was act."

Her answer surprised many people.

Oh dear, why did you answer like that! You should have expressed your gratitude!

[Exactly, just say you're very grateful to the director and that you'll carefully study the role, etc.]

Haha, look how worried you all are! Anyone who didn't know better would think they were having a job interview!

[Um... I can hardly believe it, but I still hope Zhu Wen passes the audition.]

Well, we're all family after all.

I'm different; I enjoy reading stories of underdogs achieving success in the entertainment industry.

……

Netizens are worried sick, fearing that Zhu Wen's answer will displease Li Sheng.

The other three interviewers also looked surprised.

Because none of the actors they auditioned before were as calm as Zhu Wen.

However, the female lead in their movie just happens to be...

"Hahaha!"

Li Sheng burst into laughter.

Clearly, he was more satisfied with Zhu Wen's humble yet assertive attitude than with those lengthy and eloquent words!

The other three interviewers quickly noticed that his initial liking for Zhu Wen was almost on par with, or even slightly surpassed, that of the familiar actors.

But seeing Zhu Wen's demeanor, they felt it was perfectly normal.

After all, they had a feeling the moment they saw Zhu Wen—

Their female lead stepped out of the movie.

Li Shengxing announced with great enthusiasm:
"Now, let the audition begin!"

Zhu Wen received a short biography of the character and a clip from the audition.

Zhu Wen glanced at the camera behind him:
"Don't mind revealing this?"

Li Sheng patiently explained:

"This is specifically for auditions; the actual filming is a different set."

Zhu Wen then stopped worrying and quickly immersed himself in the few lines of text.

The mirage bead inside her body was glowing faintly.

Inside the brain, a complete world is rapidly being built, active, and flowing away...

She had ten minutes.

But five minutes later, Zhu Wen put down the paper in his hand.

"I'm ready."

Li Sheng was somewhat surprised:

"Are you sure? We've only had half the preparation time left."

Zhu Wen nodded again.

Li Sheng didn't insist and gestured for Zhu Wen to begin his performance.

Zhu Wen reached out and grabbed at the void, as if he had grasped an invisible knife.

The blade's intent was chilling, causing the wind to vibrate and ruffle her hair.

Zhu Wen's face held a half-smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"To live or to die."

There is only one line.

The way she said it sent chills down my spine.

Li Sheng, as the one whose "knife tip" was pointed at by her, felt it even more clearly.

He felt as if he were being locked onto by a powerful beast; his blood seemed to slow, he was paralyzed, and fear began to spread from his heart...

Is this something that acting skills can actually achieve?

Isn't it a deterrent force that Zhu Wen himself possesses?

Li Sheng wasn't quite sure.
