Chapter 541: Perform well

"Has Tang Shu offended her? It’s obviously someone stirring things up on Weibo!"

"The newbie is quite popular lately, with both traffic and a movie plus a TV series boosting her. It’s only a matter of time before she becomes a top actress."

"She’s also auditioning for Lu Xiangtong? I didn’t see her..."

As nine o’clock arrived, assistant Lu Gang, holding a list of auditionees, stepped out and looked towards the actors waiting in the lounge.

"Number one, Zhou Min, Teacher Zhou, please follow me."

"Okay."

The actor at the front got up, adjusted their clothing, and followed Lu Gang inside.

Mu Ziwei was almost the last to go, second from the end, and after watching the first person enter, she turned on her phone to refresh the news.

But fifteen minutes later, when auditionee number one, Zhou Min, walked out of the room, Wei looked up and immediately noticed that the other person was giving her a very odd and peculiar look.

Mu Ziwei: "???"

What’s happening?

If it were just one person looking at her like that, she might have thought she was being overly sensitive, but after the second and third auditionees came out and all glanced her way, it was definitely problematic.

"What’s going on?"

Of course, she was asking Wang Zheng, who stood behind her. After a moment of contemplation, he had an uncertain theory.

"You’ve been really hot lately, maybe Director Li is very fond of you and... probably leaning towards casting you as Lu Xiangtong?"

Other than that, he really couldn’t think of another reason, especially since among those auditioning, very few could compare to Mu Ziwei.

With this thought, Wang Zheng couldn’t help but frown. Even if Director Li had already decided on Mu Ziwei, he wouldn’t discuss it with the other auditionees, right?

He wasn’t foolish, of course. How could he say something that would offend people and attract enmity?

But Director Li’s temperament... always unpredictable, Wang Zheng suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore.

Hearing this, Mu Ziwei paused, pondered, and also leaned towards this explanation. With a settled heart, she had already started thinking about other matters.

"How much can we get for ’Corridor Pavilion’?"

"Considering your current worth, it should be around eighty million at least, though ’Corridor Pavilion’ is hard to say. I don’t think it will be much lower."

Big productions with famous directors are roles that others can barely vie for. The agency would also make concessions on the remuneration appropriately.

Mu Ziwei sighed, "When you negotiate with the production team later, the lowest we can go is seventy million."

"Got it."

Wang Zheng’s mind churned, already figuring out how to negotiate the remuneration with them.

The doors of the audition hall were opened again, and Sister Jing, who had talked to Mu Ziwei earlier, walked out. Her look towards Wei was as complex as the rest.

"Sister Jing, how did the audition go?"

"Ziwei, you... just give a good performance."

The other party didn’t say much, took her coat from the assistant, put it on, and walked out of the lounge.

"???"

At the door, Lu Gang made a mark on the list and looked in this direction.

"Mu Ziwei, Teacher Mu, please."

"Thank you, sure."

Mu Ziwei handed her handbag to Wang Zheng, and followed Lu Gang towards the audition hall.

The moment she stepped into the audition hall, she felt six or seven scrutinizing gazes fall on her.

Looking up, the first thing she saw was a pure black camera in front of her, with only a simple table set up in front of it, and on the table, a wooden chair.
