Yang Mi was rather vain . She believed that the only one capable of snatching the role from her was Yan Bingqing . That would be acceptable as the latter had a higher reputation and more resources .
Thus, when she learned that she had lost to a rookie with no track record, she was displeased .
When she found out that Yun Shishi would be at tonight’s gala, she decided to check her out . In the end, she had nothing to criticize about this newbie . She also realized why Lin Fengtian had insisted on this girl to have the female lead role . Yun Shishi in her white gown seemed to have just stepped out of that teen novel . She even agreed with the director’s choice to cast Yun Shishi as Yin Xiachun .
Yun Shishi could suss out the hostility in her words . She smilingly replied, “It’s kind of Director Lin to give me the role; Shishi is nervous about it, too . ”
“Hmph . Nervous?” Yang Mi laughed sarcastically . “You need not be nervous . The entertainment industry isn’t as simple as you think . You can’t make it big on looks alone . Looks without skills will only lead to elimination sooner or later . ”
Yun Shishi was unperturbed and maintained her smile . “Thank you for your kind advice, Sister Yang Mi . Shishi will keep your words in mind . ”
“Sister Yang, there you are . ”
Li Jiuxian walked over with a wine glass in his hand . He was dumbstruck by the sheer beauty of Yun Shishi, who was standing with a smile before Yang Mi .
Yun Shishi?
He had heard of her name before .
He was among the first few candidates to be considered for the male lead role in the ‘The Green Apple’ . In the end, he was given a supporting role .
Acting in this teen movie would help enhance his idol image . Besides, this film was going to directed by the great Lin Fengtian . He would accept any role, even a cameo, in it . If this were just any average movie, he would reject the role as a second fiddle .
He had already seen Yun Shishi’s audition photo but was still swooned by her in person . She was radiantly beautiful .
“Are you… Yun Shishi?” He could not hide the admiration in his eyes .
“Yes, how do you do?” she affirmed with a smile . Inside, she was awkwardly deliberating over the identity of the man .
She barely followed the entertainment news and often confused the names of artistes .
Li Jiuxian was a relative new actor, so it was hardly surprising for her not to have heard of him yet .
…
Yun Na entered the venue with He Lingxiang and eagerly followed him to meet a few directors . One had even directed a Hollywood film that was nominated in the Oscars .
This was her first time seeing such splendor and was grateful to the man despite him forbidding her to speak at all .
It seems he has lots of connections . If he introduces me to one of the directors here, getting famous is just a matter of time .
She was feeling excited and elated .
This was when he pulled her to the side and asked, “Where is your sister?”
“Ah!” She clasped her mouth in alarm . She had almost forgotten about this .
He looked at her warningly . “You’d better not forget what I’ve instructed you earlier . ”
“No, I didn’t . I was just—”
“Don’t you worry . You’ll get an appropriate reward as long as you give me what I want . ” He was getting impatient .
She nodded readily . She scanned the crowd and spotted her adoptive sister . “Director He, my sister is over there!”
“Let’s go . ”
He picked up a glass of alcohol from the counter . The corners of his mouth evoked a touch of evilness as he walked toward Yun Shishi .
