Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The female actress who heard her answer was shocked. The second female lead of the movie wasn't really good. Although the movie will be sponsored by many tycoons and the plot was really good. However, if one would want to thrive in entertainment and get a good image in front of the fans, they should aim for the best role.

Just like the first female lead of the movie, the princess who will turn into a Great Empress at the end of the movie.

"Are you sure?" the female actress asked her.

Ran Xueyi nodded: "Yes, I am sure. The second female lead might sound awful when reading the novel and the script. But I think it's a good supporting role."

The second female lead that Ran Xueyi was eyeing for was precisely the villain of the story. It was also the sister who stole the eunuch from the female lead and died in a miserable way at the end of the movie.

By taking this role, one must be courageous enough to brave the storm when the movie comes out because the role was really evil and wicked that even those who read the script and novel would want to jump inside the novel world just to beat up the villain.

However, Ran Xueyi was not worried about that.

For years, artists played several roles of a villain in a drama and movie. Each one of them expected nothing less from their role and already knew that the audience would either tear them up or praise them for their realistic acting. And Ran Xueyi was aiming for the latter.

Being a villain did not only require the basic skills of acting, they also needed a lot of preparation because they have a very vital role in the movie to make the relationship of both the female lead and male lead grow stronger and deeper.

They also keep the story very entertaining.

Thus, Ran Xueyi did not feel uncomfortable when the female actress looked at her in dismay.

"Number 12, please come in!" exclaimed the production staff.

It was the female actress' turn.

"Good luck!" Ran Xueyi waved to the female actress who returned it with a smile before entering the audition room.

Ran Xueyi watched on silently as the door closed. After several minutes had passed, the door opened once again.

The smile on the female actress was wiped away and there was a streak of tears on her cheeks.

"Oh my god... was she scolded?"

"I already expected it since she's been smiling too much since earlier."

"Yeah, I saw that too... She must have a backer. Too bad, she didn't get the role though."

The other artists in the waiting room whispered with each other. However, their voices echoed in the room and the female actress who had just left the audition room heard all of it.

She flinched at their harsh words, but didn't say anything. After all, it was the truth that she had a backer herself and that person told her that she could get a higher chance of securing the role.

Sadly, her dream of getting the role didn't happen.

When Ran Xueyi saw the female actress approach, she didn't say a word to sympathize with her. She only nodded at the female actress in silence, knowing that there was no need for the two of them to say anything to each other.

Surprisingly, when the female actress reached their seats, Ran Xueyi heard her speak to her.

"You're lucky you didn't want the female lead role." The female actress opened her mouth to speak. "Anyway, g-good luck. I hope you get the role you want."

"Thank you," said Ran Xueyi in return.

The female actress left without a word soon after she talked to Ran Xueyi with a dejected look in her eyes.

Soon after the other left, the audition continued without any trouble as if nothing happened.

Everyone waited for their turn.

As time passed by, the number of people who auditioned for the role of the female lead came out one by one with a dark cloud hanging over their heads as though the world had ended for them.

"I wonder what happened..." one actress asked. She noticed how several artists had already come out of that room without a smile on their faces.

Ran Xueyi glanced at the actress and shrugged, "I also wonder..."

Of course, she was merely saying this. Ran Xueyi could already guess what happened. And they're just like her, the veteran and more experienced actresses in the waiting room could already guess why it was like this.

The female lead was already taken.

They had no chance anymore.

The other people who wanted to audition for the female lead weren't saddened by this as much as those who already entered and left the audition room.

Instead, they all had an enlightened look on their faces. But they weren't worried. Unlike those who already left, they had several other roles offered to them by their agencies and some directors from other movies and dramas.

And so, some of them left even before their turn was called.

After the audition for the female lead was over, it was the second female lead's turn now.

Ran Xueyi felt tense all over.

This was her first audition after all. And she didn't want to fail at all costs. But she was confident with her acting skill and even if she failed, she knew inside her that she did her best.

"It's my turn... I'm so excited!" The actress from across Ran Xueyi smiled smugly at everyone else. She was pretty confident that she'll get picked.

Ran Xueyi looked at the actress and saw that she looked pretty. Her dress was a fiery red and her hair was perfectly curled at a salon. She really looked like a villain.

When that actress entered the room, the others glared at her back.

One of them couldn't hold back anymore and loudly said, "Hmph! I didn't expect to see her here today."

"Who's she?" Ran Xueyi asked.

The one who couldn't hold herself back rolled her eyes and said, "She's Qin Ling. She's one of the director's nieces. Apparently, they already want her for the second female lead."

...

Author has something to say: Hmmm... I wonder what will happen to Ran Xueyi now?
