Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Auditioning for the Girlfriend Role

”Any day works for me, it’s up to Director Luo’s schedule.” Tong Yan spoke calmly, even though her heart was about to explode with excitement; today would be perfect.

She’s quite the good actor.

Luo Feng: ”Alright, how about today at 3 PM, same old place, Huaxia TV Building, Room 7 on the 13th floor.”

Tong Yan glanced at the time, it was already 1 PM. She immediately headed to the interview location with her sidekick Jiang Yu.

The Huaxia TV Station is a national television station, so naturally, the building is upscale and grand, located in the prime area of Beijing’s CBD, surrounded by towering skyscrapers.

Tong Yan went straight from the underground parking to the thirteenth floor, found Room 7, opened the door, and saw Luo Feng sitting there, focused on something.

Luo Feng, around fifty years old, with gray-white hair, wearing a hat and glasses, dressed in a padded jacket. He heard the sound, looked up, and saw Tong Yan, ”Miss Tong, it’s not easy to meet you.”

Indeed, it’s been a month.

Tong Yan: ”Sorry for making Director Luo wait.”

Luo Feng smiled, ”You’ve got it wrong, it’s you who’s been waiting. I watched your performance in ’Apocalypse,’ it was truly brilliant. It matches perfectly with the role in my latest movie. Miss Tong, let’s start.”

According to the timeline, the movie should be ’Thunderous Drug Squad,’ which tells the story of Huaxia police going undercover in the drug cartel dens of neighboring countries for years, continuously providing intelligence to the domestic side, and eventually cooperating from inside and out to capture a notorious drug lord, wiping out the largest drug trafficking hub.

It’s a tragedy; although the mission was successful, the undercover cop died in the fight.

This film was banned for some time domestically due to political reasons, but it gained quite a buzz abroad, especially in the surrounding small countries, and eventually even won an award.

Though it’s a male-centric movie, there’s a key character intertwined throughout the plot, which is the undercover cop’s girlfriend. Even though she exits the scene within minutes, there are many flashback scenes, making her a significant character.

She remembers the leading actor played a policeman, and it was precisely because of his performance in this film that he gained international recognition, drew the attention of international directors, and eventually won the award for Best Actor globally.

Looks like I’ll have to act with the leading actor again.

She felt happy, but the thought of the role she was going to play made her feel a bit complicated inside.

The undercover cop’s girlfriend...

As the leading actor’s girlfriend, playing someone else’s girlfriend...

The actor playing the undercover cop is called Chu Bei, a rather formidable character. He started as a child star, and at thirty, he’s already a seasoned actor with remarkable acting skills, having starred in numerous international blockbusters. His current fame even surpasses that of the leading actor by a lot. He’s most known for repeatedly being nominated for the Best Actor globally, but never winning.

What was worse was when he and the leading actor were both nominated, but... the leading actor won, and once again, he missed out, causing a worldwide stir.

Every time the global film festival takes place, it’s the highlight for the netizens, all guessing if he’ll win, with even betting pools set up.

This guy’s bad luck might just match Tong Yan’s.

After recalling all this, Tong Yan knew how to act. Since it’s a fighting scene, she might as well give it a try.

Tong Yan closed her eyes, brewed her emotions, and when she opened them again, her entire demeanor changed, exuding a sharpness like a sword drawn from its sheath.
