The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 560 - 559. Selected internally?!

Chapter 560: 559. Selected internally?!

"Yeah, the judges’ seats are indeed labeled with famous names, but that’s about it, no titles or positions whatsoever."

And the two characters "Tang Shu" stood out among the plates bearing men’s names, not to mention her striking beauty, which captivated anyone who went in for the audition.

"Which entertainment company is Tang Shu with?"

"Just some no-name small firm, what’s it called... Starshine Media?"

"Are they investors in this drama?"

"Are you suggesting that Tang Shu was pre-selected for the role because of her company’s investment, Sister Jing?"

"It’s possible. She’s an actress and a very potential one with good looks to boot; maybe Director Li gave her that face."

Though Zhou Jing said this, she wasn’t actually sure; after all, many companies wanted to invest in "Corridor Pavilion," and Director Li was known for not accepting any under-the-table deals. How could he possibly have prearranged it for Tang Shu?

Could there be something else they didn’t know about?

Zheng Yuehong, on the other hand, hadn’t considered all that, "Sigh, I just can’t bear it. Losing to Mu Ziwei is one thing; her status speaks for itself. But to lose to such a rookie... It’s really a bitter pill to swallow."

Isn’t that the truth? They had been in this circle for so long, and to be pitted against a newcomer for a role, none of them could easily accept this.

"Not to mention, this rookie didn’t even go through the audition."

"So, are you saying that all of us going for the auditions was just for show?"

That was infuriating!

Those who had made it this far weren’t people who could easily swallow such humiliation. Thinking of this, Zheng Yuehong felt her anger with nowhere to vent but to inwardly curse a few times.

Zhou Jing, who had been scrolling through her phone while lounging on the sofa, suddenly paused, then laughed.

"Someone has vented for you."

"What?"

"Look, it’s trending now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuehong hurriedly grabbed the cellphone beside her and sure enough, she saw the trending red headline, "Tang Shu Predetermined by Production Team."

After clicking the link, she realized that the topic was started by a Weibo big V with eight million followers revealing the news.

"According to insiders, Tang Shu sat with the judges all day during the audition for Female Lead No.2 of ’Corridor Pavilion’ without participating in the audition..."

The article was logical and well-supported, even posting several photos as proof. There were also photos of the judges during the auditions for the male and female leads, which offered a stark comparison.

Interestingly, in the several photos, Tang Shu only sat in the judges’ seat during the audition for Lu Xiangtong’s role.

And towards the end, the Weibo big V posed a provoking question, "Then, why did Tang Shu get the role without participating in the audition? Why was she sitting next to Director Li? These are questions worth pondering."

The big V didn’t outright say Tang Shu was pre-selected by the crew, but anyone could read between the lines and see that was the implied message.

Underneath the Weibo post, comments from netizens had already flooded in.

"So Tang Shu didn’t even attend the audition???"

"Damn, then how did she get the role——"

"It’s amazing, so fantasy-like sisters, does anyone know the inside story?"

"Isn’t this obvious, Tang Shu was clearly pre-selected!"

"Being able to sit next to Director Li, that just shows she was already part of the crew, how is that not predetermined?"

Tang Shu is indeed an actress!
