The Secret of Second Marriage

Around 9 a.m., the producer, the director who finalized the cast, and the investors came to conduct the interviews.

The first three actresses went in one by one to audition.

Actually, auditioning is quite simple. You just give a brief self-introduction in front of the interviewer, and then you start to act out a role based on your script, either reciting lines or portraying the protagonist's joys and sorrows.

The challenge lies in ensuring that the acting is genuine and that every detail makes the audience feel as if they are actually there.

The three actresses came out after their auditions.

I thought I would be last in line, but to my surprise, Xia Weiwei came over with her manager just as I was about to go in.

Xia Weiwei wore a light red long dress, her hair was dyed and permed, and she had carefully styled her long, straight, coffee-colored hair like a Korean drama heroine. She also wore makeup.

She was carrying a designer handbag worth over 100,000 yuan, wearing Audi shoes worth tens of thousands of yuan, and holding a script as she walked over for an interview.

What shocked me the most was that the agent who fawned over her and tried to curry favor with her was actually my agent—Xie Xue.

This agent offered to take me under her wing, but after adding me on WeChat, she ignored me. When I asked her about some follow-up work arrangements, she didn't bother to reply. I always thought she was a very aloof person.

Unexpectedly, in front of Xia Weiwei, she was carrying her bag and getting her script, busy serving her without showing any reluctance.

Xie Xue said kindly, "Weiwei, your last short drama didn't make much of a splash, it's okay. You're a newcomer, it's your first time acting, this is already very good."

I think this script would suit you quite well.

Who made your dad rich? Who in Beijing even knows your dad's name?

I heard that your family's jewelry and restaurants are located in dozens of countries around the world, and your father has often appeared on TV. Could you perhaps have your father invest in a few of our films?

"Weiwei, when the time comes, I'll have the company allocate all its key resources to you. You'll definitely become a huge star."

Xia Weiwei smiled politely and appropriately: "Thank you. My dad often says that I am the only daughter in the family, so he wants me to study abroad and come back to directly join the company and inherit the business."

But I love acting, and my dad said he would support me in entering the entertainment industry as long as I enjoy doing it!

Before I came for the interview this morning, my dad said that if I didn't do well in the entertainment industry, I could just come home and inherit the family business; we're not short of money.

"Weiwei, Mr. Xia really cares about you! A big boss like Mr. Xia must be very busy, but he still cares about you so much. I really envy you for being born into such a good family and having such a wonderful father..."

Xie Xue had a big smile on her face, and her fawning and groveling manner was almost too much to bear.

I sneered when I saw this. It turns out that the agent wasn't supposed to be aloof; he just treated people differently based on their status.

When I first entered the entertainment industry, I had no money or power, so they wouldn't even give me a second glance.

I took a deep breath and told myself it didn't matter. In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is acting skills. I shouldn't let myself get an opportunity. Once I do, I will work hard to make everyone remember my name, Jiang Man.

Xia Weiwei walked over, glanced at me casually, and greeted me, saying, "Jiang Man, what a coincidence."

"Are you here to audition too?"

I frowned.

Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, I really like the female lead role in this drama, so don't try to compete with me. You can't win."

"I didn't intend to argue with you. I was just going through the normal interview process, Ms. Xia. Please make yourself at home."

I have a bad feeling that Xia Weiwei's role is going to be decided beforehand as soon as she appears.

This is very common in the entertainment industry; some production teams like to use these wealthy heiresses who have connections.
