My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 113: Is the Male Lead Confirmed Yet?

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Is the Male Lead Confirmed Yet?

Qiao Xi nodded.

Mo Qing pointed at himself.

Qiao Xi gave a thumbs up.

"Detective in the Republic" had a screenplay personally crafted by Mo Qing, who also collaborated with a famous screenwriter in the industry, making it very valuable.

However, the message released to the public mentioned only a mysterious screenwriter, with no hint that Mo Qing was also behind it.

Directors nowadays are all so aggressively competitive.

Terrifying.

"Just focus on acting well," Mo Qing said, his gaze resting on her slightly curved eyes, which were full of spirit and appeared natural.

Not like those altered by plastic surgery.

Her natural beauty and ethereal aura didn’t require any additional adornment; anyone could see her that way.

A beauty clear of worldliness.

A rare temperament in the entertainment circle.

Qiao Xi asked in a low voice, "Director Mo, have you decided on the lead actor yet?"

Even though she whispered, those present who were meant to hear it did so.

Mo Qing hummed in response, leaving Qiao Xi in suspense, "What’s the rush? You’ll know when I make the official announcement."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Even she, the lead actress, couldn’t be told?

Fine.

She wasn’t in a hurry; she would find out eventually.

If it were really Jiang Yongge, the movie star, she might be able to learn some skills from him.

This was not a bad deal.

At that moment, Mo Qing let out a cheerful laugh, "However, I can reveal a little about the second male lead to you."

Qiao Xi’s eyes brightened, "Who?"

She was still unclear about the second male lead.

"Someone you’ve worked with."

Qiao Xi: "..."

That was as good as saying nothing.

There were so many male actors she had worked with, it would be odd if she could guess.

The light in Qiao Xi’s eyes dimmed.

Mo Qing, chatting casually with Qiao Xi as if no one else were around, was actually also quietly observing Zhou Junqi.

Zhou Junqi’s thoughts had drifted away from the script; he was completely focused on them.

After listening in, he felt annoyed. He might not be suitable for the lead, but he still wanted to contest for the second lead.

And now Mo Qing was saying the second lead was already chosen?

What role was he looking at in the script then?

He felt like tossing the script aside and walking out.

This Mo Qing was really looking down on him!

"Since you’re so curious, I might as well tell you."

Mo Qing no longer kept it a secret.

"It’s Qin Mo."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qin Mo?

That truly surprised Qiao Xi.

Qin Mo was also an actor who had been nominated for movie star, and now he was stepping down to second lead?

But if the lead was Jiang Yongge, then it made sense for Qin Mo to take the second spot.

Hearing that name, Zhou Junqi was shocked too.

It was Qin Mo?

Then what was he even fighting for!

Zhou Junqi’s thoughts veered off completely.

The assistant whispered at that moment, "Director, the five minutes are up."

Mo Qing looked up, his eyes sharpening as he focused on the three opposite him: "Who will go first?"

Neither Zhi Fei nor Wei Xue dared to move.

They were still newcomers, after all.

The two of them, as if having an understanding, turned their attention towards Zhou Junqi.

"Senior, why don’t you go first?" Zhi Fei felt like crying.

Wei Xue also looked at Zhou Junqi with a pleading gaze.

Senior, lend a hand!

Zhou Junqi suddenly snapped back to reality. Had five minutes passed by that quickly?

However, as he saw the pitiful looks from Zhi Fei and Wei Xue, he suddenly felt his image elevate significantly.

"I’ll go!"

He stood up bravely.

Zhi Fei and Wei Xue both looked at him with grateful faces.

The assistant pulled the script from his hands.

Watching Zhou Junqi’s pretentious demeanor, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but snicker inside.

This guy was just hypocritical, pretentious, and loved to show off!

The last thing you wanted before an audition was insincerity.

Now she wasn’t worried about Zhou Junqi’s acting convincing Mo Qing to take him on.

But although Zhou Junqi was distracted, he at least remembered the script’s lines.

Mo Qing crossed his arms: "Start."

As Zhou Junqi delivered the first line, Mo Qing’s brow was already furrowing.

By the third line, Mo Qing, unable to bear watching, shouted, "Stop, stop, stop! What is this you’re performing? So lackluster? Is this acting? You’re just reciting lines, aren’t you? Auditions aren’t about reciting lines! Don’t you understand?"

With that acting, you want the lead role?

Eat shit!

Zhou Junqi: "..."

Was there something wrong with his performance?

Was Mo Qing deliberately finding fault with him?

Mo Qing directly scoffed at his self-satisfied look: "Do you think you performed well? Do you believe the script I gave you is for the second lead? With that performance, do you want to ruin my reputation?!"

Oh, so it’s the script for the second lead.

Qiao Xi’s lips, hidden under the mask, curled up slightly.

Qin Mo had already been finalized for the second role, and Mo Qing giving this script to Zhou Junqi meant he had no intention of signing him.

Qiao Xi also understood why Mo Qing had chatted with her earlier.

"I..." Zhou Junqi hadn’t expected it to be the second lead’s script; wasn’t Qin Mo finalized for the second lead?

Slam!

Zhou Junqi swallowed his pride, managing a smile, "Director Mo, could you please give me another chance?"

Mo Qing didn’t give him a second glance: "Even with that attitude, ten chances wouldn’t help. Don’t waste everyone’s time, next!"

Zhou Junqi looked towards Qiao Xi, hoping she would speak up for him.

But Qiao Xi was looking at her phone, not even glancing his way.

Zhou Junqi had never hated Qiao Xi more!

Both Zhi Fei and Wei Xue were even more frightened. If Senior Zhou was criticized so harshly by the director, what about them? What would they do?

"Who’s next?" Mo Qing was getting impatient.

"Zhi Fei, why don’t you go first?" Wei Xue didn’t dare to proceed.

Zhi Fei knew this was her chance.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and bowed, "Director Mo, I’m Zhi Fei."

Her attitude was still good.

Mo Qing: "Start."

Mo Qing watched Zhi Fei perform her piece from the script. Though his brow was slightly furrowed, he did not interrupt her.

Zhi Fei couldn’t make up her mind and stepped aside once she finished.

Last was Wei Xue, who also greeted Mo Qing before starting.

However, her acting was truly lacking, and she just had a pretty face.

Just pretty—that’s all, without any special features.

Yet the entertainment industry was not short of pretty actresses.

A lack of distinctive features made it even easier to be overlooked.

Mo Qing couldn’t bear to watch and directly asked Wei Xue to stop.

Wei Xue bit her lip tightly.

"Zhi Fei, right?" Mo Qing tapped his pen on the table: "My assistant will contact your agent."

Zhi Fei’s excitement was written all over her face: "Thank you, Director! I’ll work hard, Director."

Wei Xue’s face turned sour. Was that to say her acting wasn’t as good as Zhi Fei’s?

"Since Director Mo doesn’t approve of me, I’ll take my leave first, hoping your movie will be a big success."

I hope no one goes to watch it!

Zhou Junqi left with a scowl.

Mo Qing didn’t bother with such people.

Lacking in both acting and resilience and without self-reflection, such a person would only go so far in the industry.

Mo Qing had seen too many like him, all fading into obscurity.

Mo Qing said, "The newcomer you brought has potential, keep working hard and avoid taking the wrong paths."

Then he asked her, "Do you understand what I’m saying, Qiao Xi?"
