Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

As time went by, Lin Dai still did not return home from abroad, but the things she had entrusted to Audrey had been successfully done.

Director Shan agreed to join Guangying Zhimeng Film Co., Ltd. after careful consideration, but it has not been made public yet. He is currently actively preparing for the most important early work of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", interviewing actors, and Audrey is also busy with the preparations for "The Journey of Flower".

Lin Dai particularly emphasized the criteria for selecting actors: "The Legend of Zhen Huan" must use "old" actors with rich experience and superb acting skills to play important roles, while "The Journey of Flower" should use more young actors to play important roles at the right time.

Afterwards, when the two directors announced the information of the two TV series at the same time and publicly recruited actors, it immediately aroused positive responses from many actors, who came to participate in the interviews.

Many experienced actors took the initiative to contact Director Shan and expressed their strong interest in the play and their willingness to participate. However, Director Shan adhered to the principle of fairness and justice and treated all actors equally, requiring them to demonstrate their acting skills through auditions, and Mu Wanqing was no exception.

When Mu Wanqing's agent told her that if she wanted to play the leading female role in this play, she had to take part in the audition and only if she passed would she have a chance to get the role she wanted.

Mu Wanqing showed an expression of disbelief. It seemed that she had not participated in an audition for a long time. Since she became a movie queen and joined the Li family, she could easily get any role. Others would come to her with scripts. Now she took the initiative to deliver it to them, but was rejected.

"Sister Qing, we..." Zhang Zhe wanted to explain.

"In that case, I will go for the interview. I am determined to get this role." Mu Wanqing's eyes flashed with determination, and she didn't expect any surprises at all.

On this day, Mu Wanqing, accompanied by her agent Zhang Zhe, came to the interview location. There was already a long line outside the door, and many young and unknown actors were patiently waiting for the opportunity to be interviewed. Mu Wanqing's appearance immediately caused quite a stir. Many people recognized her, cast enthusiastic glances at her, and took the initiative to greet her.

Mu Wanqing smiled and nodded in response, and followed the guidance of the on-site staff to come to the exclusive area for interviewing leading actors, where many familiar faces of actors also gathered.

Many people couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they saw Mu Wanqing, and they muttered to themselves: Even Mu Wanqing is here, it seems that the female lead role may very well be hers, it's a good thing that I'm not interviewing for the female lead.

However, Mu Wanqing did not stop here, but continued to walk towards the interview room. This action stunned everyone. They looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but wonder: Does she have a background and don't need to queue up for the interview? But the notice clearly stated this point, no matter who it was, they had to follow the rules.

Mu Wanqing and Zhang Zhe didn't stop until a staff member came forward and politely stopped them.

Zhang Zhe quickly stepped forward to explain his purpose: "Hello, I'm Mu Wanqing's agent, and we're here to interview the female lead."

The staff member smiled and nodded: "Okay, please line up at the back for the interview."

Zhang Zhe was stunned when he heard this. Queue? They actually needed to queue? Could it be that he didn't make his words clear and the staff didn't understand?

So, he emphasized again: "Hello, we are here to interview for the leading actress of this play. This is Mu Wanqing, the actress Mu!"

The staff member still maintained a professional smile, nodded and said, "Hello, according to our interview requirements, no matter who comes to audition, they need to wait in line. And our actor recruitment clearly stated this, no matter the size of the star or the background, we must treat everyone equally and follow the rules."

Zhang Zhe was stunned when he heard this. He turned to look at Mu Wanqing beside him, only to see that she also had an embarrassed look on her face. Fortunately, she was wearing sunglasses, so no one noticed her expression.

Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said softly: "Okay, Zhang Zhe, let's go line up."

Then he turned around and walked to the end of the line, with Zhang Zhe following closely behind him. He looked around, estimated how long it might take to queue, and asked Mu Wanqing if she needed a stool to sit and wait.

Suddenly, a clear but sarcastic laugh sounded:

"Hey, isn't this Mu Wanqing? Just because you have the Li family as your backer, you think you can act like a big shot everywhere? Look, everyone else is lining up honestly, but you are special and want to cut in line and even sit and wait. You are so hypocritical."

Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice, and they saw that the person who spoke was Jiang Ran, another powerful and well-known actress in the circle. She stood quietly in the team with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a sharp edge that should not be underestimated.

The relationship between Jiang Ran and Mu Wanqing is quite complicated, and they can be described as equally matched competitors. In terms of qualifications, Jiang Ran is obviously more experienced than Mu Wanqing, and every achievement she has made is the result of her years of hard work and unremitting persistence.

However, fate always seemed to like playing jokes on her.

Every time she was just one step away from the Best Actress award, and twice she had a good chance of winning it but was intercepted by Mu Wanqing both times.

In fact, if this kind of thing happened to someone else, Jiang Ran wouldn't care too much. But for some reason, she felt that Mu Wanqing was fake and wore a hypocritical mask, and she always disliked her.

Mu Wanqing looked forward and saw Jiang Ran, who was sneer at her. She couldn't help but say in her heart, "Enemies often cross paths." Although she was unhappy, she still kept her face calm and innocent, and responded politely, "Senior Jiang, you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to cut in line. It's just that we didn't understand the specific requirements of this interview, so there was a little misunderstanding."

Jiang Ran heard this and sneered, his tone was sharp: "Really? But we all know clearly what the interview process is for this actor. It is clearly written on the actor recruitment invitation letter, and we all followed the requirements. Queen Mu, you don't know? Do you think that you are the queen of the film and have a backer, so it is natural for you to come directly for the interview and even skip the basic process of waiting in line?"

I have to admit that Jiang Ran's seemingly casual remarks accurately revealed the truth of the matter.

Zhang Zhe reacted quickly and apologized to Mu Wanqing: "Sister Qing, I'm sorry it was my mistake. I didn't carefully understand the specific process and requirements of the interview."

At this moment, a staff member stepped forward in time and gently reminded everyone to keep quiet, and order was restored at the scene.

Then, the staff member walked over to Mu Wanqing and handed them a detailed description of the requirements for each role in the actor interview. Zhang Zhe quickly took it and read it carefully. Sure enough, the last note specifically stated the requirements for the level of actors in this interview, and all were treated equally without special treatment.

However, when Zhang Zhe's eyes fell on the last signed company, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly pointed to the line of words to show Mu Wanqing: All rights of interpretation belong to Guangying Zhimeng Film Co., Ltd.

Mu Wanqing was also stunned when she saw this. She looked up at Zhang Zhe and silently asked what was going on. Zhang Zhe shook his head helplessly, saying that he knew nothing about it.

"Sister Qing, what about now?" Zhang Zhe asked worriedly.

"It's okay, we'll continue with the audition, it won't have much of an impact."

After waiting for an hour, it was finally Mu Wanqing's turn. As expected, the interviewers did not treat her differently because of her identity. When Mu Wanqing finished the audition and was leaving the room, one of the interviewers casually said, "Finally, there's someone who does a good job of playing the leading female role."

Mu Wanqing happened to hear it, and a smile appeared on her face. When facing Zhang Zhe's question, she confidently said, "Get it."

But Mu Wanqing didn't hear the following words, "It's a pity that she is only slightly better than the others, but she is not good enough to play the leading female role, and this actress is not good enough either."

Afterwards, an assistant director of the crew turned to look at Director Shan, a little anxiously: "Director Shan, the female lead has not been decided yet, and the other roles are almost ready."

Director Shan raised his hand slightly, his eyes swept across the exquisite watch on his wrist, and said in a calm and unhurried tone: "No hurry, there is still some time, wait a little longer."

In fact, Director Shan was a little unhappy. When he was just choosing the female lead, Audrey told him that the boss of the company recommended a female lead for the show. Of course, it was just to give her an audition opportunity. Whether she would be successful in the end was up to her.

When the interview time was about to end, a figure rushed into the interview room and kept bowing and apologizing.

Director Shan knew that she was notified at the last minute to come for the audition, so he did not blame her and gave her some time to prepare.

Sun Lanjin, an outdated veteran film queen, was once a popular and hot actress. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, she met the wrong person and gradually faded out of the public eye.

Today, she suddenly received a call asking her to audition for the female lead role in a single director's film. She was surprised and delighted, but also worried that it was fake. She didn't believe it until the other party said that she was Audrey. Because time was tight, she hurried over without any preparation.

Finally, ten minutes later, Director Shan smiled with satisfaction, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was ready to start filming.

With the successful completion of the final scenes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", news about the filming of the drama has emerged online. The biggest concern is the choice of actress to play the leading female role Zhen Huan. After various rumors, speculations and discussions online, everyone unanimously agreed that Mu Wanqing is the leading female role.

However, facing the overwhelming news on the Internet, Mu Wanqing seemed very anxious in her heart, because the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was about to start, but the crew had not contacted her yet. She asked her agent to inquire about the situation, but the answer she got was that the candidate for the female lead had already been chosen.

For some reason, Mu Wanqing always had an inexplicable premonition deep in her heart that this drama would be a big hit and she must not miss it.

In desperation, she asked her agent to contact Director Shan and expressed a wish: as long as she could play the leading female role, the Li Group was willing to invest 100 million yuan in the drama.

But to her disappointment, she received a cold reply: "If Mu Wanqing really had a special liking for this play, she would not be so careless and not even pay attention to the basic recruitment information. When we released the actor recruitment notice, we had clearly listed all the requirements, one of which was to reject any form of investment, adding actors or replacing actors. From this, we can see that after gaining strong background support, Queen Mu may have gradually forgotten her original intention, become self-righteous, and ignored the basic principles of the industry."

Mu Wanqing was shocked when she received the reply, and then she became furious with her agent Zhang Zhe. She thought that Zhang Zhe, as her agent, was repeatedly negligent and did not understand the matter clearly, which made her very disappointed and angry.

In the end, she decided to let Li Zhengrong replace Zhang Zhe.

In addition to being angry, she couldn't help but miss the days when she worked with Audrey, when Audrey was always dedicated and responsible and never made any mistakes.

In fact, Zhang Zhe, Mu Wanqing's agent, relied on Mu Wanqing's status in the entertainment industry and the strong background of the Li Group, and was not very dedicated in many things. He thought that with these supports, he thought that everything was easy to do, so his work seemed very relaxed. In comparison, Audrey used to be dedicated no matter what, even under such favorable conditions, which often made her feel tired.

The day before the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" started, the official account of the crew announced the full cast. When everyone saw that the leading actress was not Mu Wanqing but the veteran actress Sun Lanjin, netizens had mixed reactions, some were happy and some were worried.

Sun Lanjin's loyal fans expressed their joy and support to see their long-lost goddess return and play the role of the heroine, and they look forward to her wonderful performance in the drama.

However, some netizens expressed doubts and confusion, asking if the original female lead was not Mu Wanqing? Why was she replaced? Mu Wanqing's fans felt wronged and dissatisfied for their idol.

Among them, Mu Wanqing’s biggest fan got inside information that confirmed that the female lead was Mu Wanqing, so he kept spreading the news online to promote Mu Wanqing, but the result was...

Just as this matter continued to ferment and successfully topped the hot search list, the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" started filming as scheduled.

Mu Wanqing's fans did not give up. They continued to speak out for their goddess on the Internet and demanded a fair explanation.

Mu Wanqing also posted a seemingly ambiguous update on Weibo at the right time, which further aroused the fans' desire to protect and their feelings of sympathy, further escalating the public opinion storm.

Just as the internet was full of discussions and no consensus was reached, a Weibo account nicknamed "Professional Paparazzi" posted a video with the caption: Do you really know Mu Wanqing? The video clip of Mu Wanqing's audition is here, including the directors' comments on her. From beginning to end, they did not say that Mu Wanqing was hired to play the leading female role, but that it was just a play she directed and acted in herself.

Ten minutes later, the professional paparazzi released another video with the caption: Sun Lanjin and Mu Wanqing auditioned the same scene, and the difference was obvious at a glance.

Ten minutes later, the professional paparazzi posted another Weibo: Mu Wanqing wanted to rely on Li's investment to replace the female lead, but she didn't pay attention to the actor recruitment requirements of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and touched her reverse scale. So, fans of Mu Wanqing, do you really understand her?

Three consecutive Weibo posts completely set off a trending search on Weibo, shocking countless netizens and completely angering Mu Wanqing's fans, who all criticized the paparazzi on Weibo.

Just as the public opinion storm intensified, Jiang Ran, who was waiting for the filming to start, liked these Weibo posts and commented: Yes, that's true. I was auditioning on the set and saw with my own eyes that Mu Wanqing was acting like a big shot.

Mu Wanqing, who had already returned to the Li family, was furious when she saw the overwhelming news on the Internet and smashed her phone in anger.

Seeing this, the servant in the house hurriedly called Li Zhengrong.

After Li Zhengrong learned about this, he immediately contacted Zhang Zhe to inquire about what happened. Regarding the rumors circulating on the Internet, Zhang Zhe reluctantly admitted that the content of the paparazzi's revelation was indeed true and not groundless.

Despite this, Li Zhengrong still arranged for the company's technical staff to remove the relevant information from the Internet in order to reduce the negative impact of this incident on Mu Wanqing.

He then called Mu Wanqing again, comforted her first, and then asked her if she really wanted this role.

Mu Wanqing answered with certainty: "Yes, but they don't need me." As she spoke, Mu Wanqing began to sob aggrievedly.

"Okay, I'll find a way." Li Zhengrong put down the phone, his face became serious, and then he called Special Assistant Li to come to the office to see him.
