Chapter 539: 538. I have decided on this role.

"Definitely, I’ve yet to come across anything that the uncle wanted to do but couldn’t."

As for the remaining fans, they took a detached attitude towards the whole thing.

"What’s there to laugh about? It’s normal for the uncle not to get the role since the competition is really strong. If he did get the role, that would be unbeatable!"

"Exactly, it’s just an audition, isn’t it? So many actors vying for one role, and only one can succeed. What uncle needs now is our support."

"Uncle, keep it up, the result isn’t important. No matter what, we’re behind you!"

Those who came to Weibo to mock Tang Shu and Mu Ziwei’s fans: "???"

I really thank you, but please have some self-awareness!

The outside was abuzz with rumors, but inside the production crew, it was surprisingly quiet.

Nobody dared to be loud in Director Li’s crew. It wasn’t the time to make oneself noticed, as everyone knew Director Li valued true skill in auditions, and even the most powerful backers were useless with him.

Mu Ziwei left most people outside, discreetly taking only Wang Zheng into the crew. Her appearance immediately captured the attention of all the actress hopefuls there, casting countless glances her way at once.

"Isn’t that Ziwei? You’re here for the audition too?"

"Yes, it’s Sister Jing, what a coincidence——"

The actresses here for the auditions were all exquisitely dressed, with clothes so dazzling they could blind. Since this was a historical drama, there was no need to wear period costumes before entering the set. Naturally, for the audition, the aim was to look as beautiful as possible, and most opted for formal attire—it was practically like walking the red carpet.

Rather than calling it an audition, it seemed more like a beauty contest.

In such a competitive environment, acquaintances exchanged pleasantries and even strangers greeted each other, making the waiting area lively all of a sudden.

After dealing with all the auditioning actors, Mu Ziwei sat down and surprisingly found that Tang Shu hadn’t come in with them.

"Where’s the person?"

Wang Zheng knew who she was referring to, but he hadn’t realized where Tang Shu had gone either.

In a sure-win scenario, who cares about a destined loser?

"Her? Not important,"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "Have you gone over Lu Xiangtong’s scenes in the script?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve got this role in the bag."

If it weren’t for the award at the end of the year, she wouldn’t have even considered a supporting role, even in a big production by Director Li.

Confident in her success, Mu Ziwei watched Wang Zheng nodded and look around before finding a quiet spot to skillfully make a phone call.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Brother Wang, what are your instructions this time?"

"The post this morning was well done, throw a bit more fuel on the fire."

"And the price for this...?"

"When have I ever shortchanged you?"

"Brother Wang, you’re so generous! Just say the word, and consider it done!"

Audition hall.

Tang Shu had just entered when Director Li’s assistant Lu Gang recognized her instantly.

"Miss Tang, this way!"

In his hands, Lu Gang held a stack of bound scripts, and as she approached, he handed her one.

"These are the scenes for today’s audition. Which one you’ll perform is random—would you like to familiarize yourself with them first?"

"Sure."

Tang Shu took it, quickly skimmed through the script, and had a clear idea in her mind.

She had already read "Corridor Pavilion" twice when she applied for the position of etiquette and props consultant before, and she was thoroughly familiar with its plot and characters.
