Just as the weather warmed up and winter jasmine blossoms bloomed all over the streets, Stars Entertainment's advertisement for the audition came flooding in. The eight remaining female contestants who passed the audition would be able to participate in the live broadcast of the elimination round.
The top three contestants would be able to sign a contract with Stars Entertainment. Especially the top contestant, who would be able to participate in a movie right away.
In this day and age, stardom was everywhere, and there were countless girls chasing after their dreams. After a month of auditions, the final round would be held on April Fool's Day.
"What do you think?" Zhou Na asked.
Asha held two scripts in her hands. One of them was about an urban shootout, the other was about a period drama.
When she didn't respond, Zhou Na added, "From what President Wan said, it seems that he wants you to choose the period drama."
"Haha, sure!" Asha closed the script. "I'll listen to him and choose the period drama."
She knew that Wan Qingsi didn't want her to act in a movie that involved dangerous actions. Back when she was filming 'End of the World', her body was covered in bruises every day. Wan Qingsi would nag at her about it several times a day.
The period drama was light and funny. It was about a carp spirit who married a scholar in order to repay his kindness. Many love stories followed. The title of the movie was quite endearing. It was called 'Fish for Joy'.
"You'll be a judge for tonight's competition. The top contestant will be the second female lead," Zhou Na reminded her. "You don't have to think about anything else. Just make sure you like it." Asha smiled. "Why didn't you release the news earlier? If you did, there would be a lot of people sending me gifts right now!"
Zhou Na knew that she was joking. "We've kept the news a secret. We'll only announce it when the competition starts tonight. We don't want Sky Entertainment to take advantage of any loopholes."
Wan Qingsi had dinner with the TV station's executives that night. Asha went home and took a nap. After that, she ate something random. Xiao Hua called to pick her up. Asha didn't want the trouble, so she decided to drive herself. She hadn't driven the low-profile local car that Ying Qingcang had bought for her yet.
Xiao Hua had brought the dress, so she wore jeans and a cartoon bunny sweater. She also wore a cap and sunglasses. She looked like an ordinary girl. She parked the car in the underground parking lot. As soon as she got out of the car, a BMW drove up to her.
"Hey, you!" A head popped out of the BMW. "Are you a staff member?" A young girl who was dressed sexily saw the TV station pass hanging on Asha's chest and ordered her, "Help me carry something."
Asha pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, the girl jumped out of the car and stopped her. "Do you know who I am?" After saying that, she was stunned. She didn't see clearly just now, but this staff member seemed to be quite good-looking. Although she couldn't see her facial features because of the big sunglasses, her skin was fairer than hers.
"I don't think I know you." Asha took a step back. Hao Yuan said with some jealousy, "Tsk, you're here to meet rich people, right? Let me tell you, I'm the boss. Listen to me and I'll take you to see the stars later."
Asha said, "Oh, do you know celebrities?"
"So what if I'm a celebrity? I'll be a celebrity after I get first place. Isn't that Mei Jing famous for sucking up to men? My dad is rich, so he'll support me. When the time comes, I'll snatch the boss of Stars Entertainment. I'll be the big sister in the future! "
Hao Yuan said a lot of things proudly, but found that Asha's lips were curled and she didn't respond.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Take off your sunglasses. "She felt like Asha was mocking her.
Asha took off her sunglasses and looked at her coldly. "I think you should wait until you get first place before you say anything to me." She smiled. "Hope to see you at Stars Entertainment."
Watching Asha slowly walk away, Hao Yuan's eyes widened. Suddenly, she remembered. "Ah, she's Mei Jing!"
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Xiao Hua waiting for her.
"Miss!" Xiao Hua took Asha's bag. "Come, over here!"
Asha's name was pasted on the door of her dressing room, and only she could use it. Xiao Hua pushed the door open and nagged. "Young Master has prepared your favorite desserts and juice. We've also changed the sofa inside. It's very comfortable!"
"I'm just staying for a while. You guys sure know how to make a fuss." Just as Ah Sha was about to sit down, she heard a commotion outside the door.
"Sun Hui, I promised you that I'd let Zheng Gege switch with me when I bought you dinner. Now she doesn't agree. What do you think we should do?"
One of the girls said anxiously. "I … I only said that I'll try my best. I didn't promise you anything."
"I don't care. That's a seafood buffet. It's more than 500 yuan. Give me back my money."
"I don't have that much money!" The girl sounded like she was about to cry.
"You don't have money and yet you're here to participate in a talent show. A commoner like you should be a delivery man. I don't care. You either beg Zheng Gege or pay back the money. "
Xiao Hua was about to leave when she saw Asha listening to the girl's words with great interest.
"Miss, listen to that. How can people like them be celebrities?"
Asha made a shushing gesture and continued listening. The girl outside the door finally cried out. She cried and begged, "Zheng Gege, can you change with Wu Li?"
"Why?" A cold voice sounded. "You were the one who promised her, not me."
The girl's cries grew louder and louder. She cursed and scolded the girls, which finally alerted the staff. They ran over and scolded the girls. Soon, the room quieted down. Xiao Hua saw that the drama was over and hurried Asha to get changed and put on makeup.
The finals began at eight o 'clock sharp. Apart from Asha, there was also Lin Dong, the director of "Harem", and Qi Xiu, who represented Wan Qingsi.
After Asha took her seat at the judges' table, Xiao Hua came to her with her phone. Wan Qingsi was looking for her.
"Asha, I can't leave yet. I'll pick you up after the finals." Wan Qingsi's voice came through. Asha nodded. "There's no place for you to sit."
Wan Qingsi smiled. "I can take Qi Xiu's place."
"That's enough. How can a CEO come in person? Don't drink too much. Come pick me up later."
After hanging up, the host announced the start of the competition. On the stage, the eight contestants took turns to introduce themselves. Then, the host set the exam questions. The questions were all drawn beforehand, so they were all prepared.
"Who do you think is good?" Lin Dong whispered into Asha's ear.
Asha glanced at him. "Who do you think is good, Director Lin?"
"No. 6, No. 8, and No. 1."
Asha looked at the three people Lin Dong had named. She was a little surprised. One of them was the sexy girl named Hao Yuan who had stopped her in the parking lot. As for the other two, she could tell from their voices that they were Sun Hui and Zheng Gege, who had been at the door of the dressing room.
"The winner will have to act with you, so you need to think carefully before you decide." Lin Dong thought for a moment and then reminded her. "Hao Yuan can bring money into the cast."
Asha understood. She nodded without batting an eyelid. Beside them, Qi Xiu frowned when he heard their conversation.
"If you're willing to tell me, you can choose whoever you like." Asha glanced at Qi Xiu and smiled. "I don't want Hao Yuan. She'll be third. She'll bring money into the cast anyway. Just arrange for her to act in a movie."
Qi Xiu didn't ask why. He just nodded. "Got it."
On the stage, Hao Yuan regretted her decision. She had already called her father. Her father comforted her and said, "Don't worry. It's just an actress. Don't worry!"
Although Hao Yuan was nervous, she felt relieved when she remembered that she had the money. In her opinion, even if Mei Jing was now Wan Qingsi's woman, he wouldn't reject her father's investment because of her.
Later, she began to feel smug again, until the host asked the judges to announce the winners.
Lin Dong's choice was the same as before. Hao Yuan won first place, Zheng Gege took second place, and Sun Hui took third place. Asha gave first place to Zheng Gege, Hao Yuan took third place, and Qi Xiu was the same as her.
Without a doubt, the winner of this talent show was Zheng Gege! When Hao Yuan heard the result, she almost rushed to the judges' table. After that, Qi Xiu signed the contracts with the three winners.
Zheng Gege, on the other hand, was the second female lead in "Fish for Joy."
"Manager Qi!" Hao Yuan stopped Qi Xiu backstage. "My dad invested in your movie, but you gave the role to someone else. What's the meaning of this?"
Qi Xiu smiled politely. "This is a competition. That's the rules. I made it clear to Boss Hao."
Asha had just changed her clothes and was walking out. When Hao Yuan saw her, she shouted. "Miss Mei Jing! Wait a minute. "
"Miss." Xiao Hua pointed at his watch. Asha nodded and ignored Hao Yuan. Unexpectedly, Hao Yuan grabbed her hand. "Stop right there."
Qi Xiu frowned. "Hao Yuan, let go."
Asha gently pushed Hao Yuan's hand away. "Do you have anything else to say?"
"You …" Hao Yuan saw Qi Xiu's angry expression and changed her tone. "You're using your position to avenge private grudges. Do you know how much my family invested in your movie?"
"Haha!" Asha laughed. "Didn't Manager Qi tell you? Yes, your family invested in my movie, but it doesn't have to be the one I'm about to shoot. You're now an artist under Stars Entertainment. You can wait until you're in the movie. "
"As for what you said about using my position to avenge private grudges …" Asha smirked. "So what? You slandered me behind my back first. Now you want me to shoot a movie with you?"
Hao Yuan did not expect Asha to be so direct. In a fit of anger, she opened her mouth to curse. "You bitch …"
"Shut up!" A voice cut in. "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to curse at her?"
Asha's eyes lit up. She was about to turn around when she was pulled into a man's arms.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait in the parking lot? "
Wan Qingsi looked at her carefully and saw that she was still smiling. "I couldn't wait, so I came up."
"President … President Wan!" Hao Yuan called out shyly. Her heart was pounding. She had seen Wan Qingsi's photos online before. She knew that he was a handsome man, but she did not expect him to be even more handsome in person.
Wan Qingsi glanced at her and asked Qi Xiu, "Did you sign her?"
"Yes," Qi Xiu said, rolling his eyes. "Asha chose her."
Wan Qingsi did not say anything. Asha squirmed in his arms. "Alright, let's go!"
Hao Yuan bit her lip and glared at Wan Qingsi. "How dare you ignore me … Hmph. I'll tell my dad later that I won't invest in your movie."
