Chapter 1418: Taking the Role
Lianyi didn't seem to notice that her pendant slipped out of her collar. She kept thanking him, then left the interview room with the number plate for the second audition.
Before leaving, she saw from the corner of her eye that the middle-aged man left from the back door with his mobile phone, as if he was anxious to contact someone. She smiled lightly, and the fish was hooked. Then she untied the exposed jade lock and put it back into the space. The jade lock's appearance today was completed.
Guan Shandi saw Lianyi walking out with a smile on her face, and knew it should be good news.
"I have passed the first round of auditions. Director Tang asked me to come again in three days. This time I will probably have to wear makeup and act with the opposite actor."
"As long as you perform well, it should be no problem to get this role. This time the investors prefer our company's actors. You just need to go back and prepare well in the next two days."
Guan Shandi also smiled.
Lianyi asked in a low voice:
"I see that the male actors from our company are all second- and third-tier actors. Why haven't the first-tier actors come? Have they been decided?"
Guan Shandi nodded after listening, acquiescing to Lianyi's words.
"Not bad, at least we had some soup."
Lianyi joked.
Then the two left the audition place.
On the other side, the man behind the scenes was a little careless when he received the call, but he didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. He immediately sat up straight and asked coldly:
"Are you sure?"
The person on the other end of the phone immediately replied something, and the man said coldly:
"Make sure she joins the crew and find a chance to get the things back."
Then he hung up the phone.
He has been too active recently and has alarmed some people. He doesn't want to attract too much attention, so he can only slow down the pace of action. But he didn't expect the other party's luck to be so good. He cleverly avoided the trap he dug several times. He didn't know whether he should praise the other party with a sentence "You are worthy of being a member of the Ruan family!" or hate the other party's sharpness.
After Lianyi was sent back to her new residence by Guan Shandi, she continued her life as a stay-at-home girl. However, two days later, her peaceful life was broken again when the police came to her door again.
This time, it was not because of Yao Meimei's matter, but because of the murder of Yao Baokun, and they hoped that Lianyi could assist in the investigation.
Lianyi invited the two serious-looking police officers into the room, made tea, and then said:
"Two police officers, I don't have much interaction with Yao Baokun, and I don't have a good impression of him. It's not an exaggeration to say that we have a grudge, but I also think his death is strange. If I can help, I will do my best to cooperate."
The two police officers looked at each other and felt that Lianyi's attitude was very good, so one of them asked:
"Can you tell me in detail about your grudge with Yao Baokun?"
"Sure."
Lianyi started from when she entered the crew, including the fact that the other party drugged her and Liu Ziying, and even sneaked into her room in the middle of the night.
After hearing this, the two police officers looked at each other, and one of them said:
"It seems that you have a serious feud."
Lianyi took a sip of tea while the other party was talking, and continued:
"Officer, having a feud does not mean I want to kill him. Such a disgusting person is not enough for me to dirty my hands and ruin my future.
He was dirty, but unfortunately his method did not succeed. Instead, I beat him up to vent my anger. In the end, he left the crew and lost the role of the male lead. I think this punishment is enough.
It's just that I have no grudges against him in the past or in the present, but he just targeted me, and in order to let me relax my vigilance, he used a roundabout way to contact Liu Ziying first, and then sent the stuffed stuff to me through Ziying's hand. It was obviously designed.
It must be that he spent so much effort not just to take advantage of me, but it was too late that day. In order to avoid any bad rumors, I didn't ask more.
But later I didn't know what happened to him. His agent Wei'an actually called me and asked me to give Yao Baokun a chance to live. I didn't know what he meant by that, but I went with the flow and told Wei'an that if he could tell me who had instructed him to plot against me, I would spare him.
Not long after, Wei'an called and said that Yao Baokun was dead. I was also surprised, and we didn't contact each other again. "
The police recorded everything Lianyi said, and then coughed lightly and said:
"According to Wei'an, Yao Baokun's lower body has been engorged with blood, and it was you who caused it."
Lianyi shook her head to deny it, and said sarcastically:
"He was kicked out of the crew for being a hooligan, and I didn't have any contact with this person after that. How could I cause him to be a hooligan?"
One of them suddenly interrupted:
"Wei'an said you drugged him."
"You are a police officer, so does that mean you have evidence that I drugged him?"
Lianyi asked back with a smile.
"Not yet."
"I understand that you are making reasonable inferences, or listening to the one-sided words of the deceased's agent. I am willing to cooperate with your investigation, but I will not admit to something I have not done."
"Don't worry, we will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."
The police officer said solemnly.
"Of course, I believe in your ability and will definitely investigate it clearly, but Yao Baokun died after I asked to tell the mastermind behind the scenes. Perhaps this is a direction for investigation."
Lianyi still mentioned it.
"Thank you Miss Feng for the clues, we will continue to follow up."
The two could not get any useful clues from Lianyi, so they said goodbye.
After Lianyi sent the two away, she put the matter aside and continued to prepare for her second audition.
During the second audition, Guan Shandi did not accompany Lianyi to the interview because he had something to do, but arranged for another person to accompany her.
Lianyi was arranged to do the styling in the morning, changed into the designated clothes, and then went to the audition site again. There were fewer people this time.
Lianyi's audition was still very smooth, but this time she did not see anyone from the Ruan Group, but because of this she was more certain that she would definitely get the role.
The result of the second audition was the same as Lianyi expected. She won the role of Yuan Minsi in the play "Real Estate Storm". She is a very bright female character in the whole play, and a successful woman who fought her way out of the Yuan Group. However, in the end, she withdrew from the competition because of the ties of family, friendship, and love.
In Lianyi's opinion, although Director Tang has put a lot of effort into this female role, he still hasn't gotten rid of his old ways. Yuan Minsi is still a runner-up, and finally compromises for the male and female protagonists.
However, Lianyi took this role to try to create a new image and get rid of her image of a cold fairy, to find the person behind the scenes, and thirdly because this is Director Tang's play worth investing in, and it is an opportunity for her to expand her network.
After the role was finalized, it was time to sign the contract. In order not to be tricked, Lianyi read the contract and asked Tang Ni to review it again before signing her name. (End of this chapter)
