“Thank you for your appreciation, Director Xue, but I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t accept.”
Gu Li refused with a difficult look on her face.
Xue Huaimo’s invitation was indeed very tempting, but she didn’t aspire to be a star, so she couldn’t agree.
Everyone else widened their eyes, unable to believe that she was actually rejecting such a golden opportunity.
After all, Xue Huaimo was one of the most renowned directors in the domestic film industry, with quite a status internationally. Almost all actors who played the lead roles in his movies became popular.
If Gu Li could act in his movies, with her superior looks and excellent acting skills, she would definitely win the Best Actress award within two years.
Yet, she didn’t want it?!
The first one to react was Director Yang from the program team, “Teacher Gu, think it over carefully. This is a film by Director Xue. You won’t get this chance again.”
“Gu Li, it’s rare that Director Xue appreciates you, don’t be ungrateful!”
Jiang Cheng couldn’t help lecturing her.
In his eyes, this little girl got a few praises and became arrogant, even disregarding a big director. She was simply overconfident.
“What are you thinking, letting such a great opportunity slip away?”
Xu Jin was curious.
Xue Huaimo was also puzzled.
This was the first time his invitation was rejected, which made him appreciate Gu Li more.
Gu Li found an excuse to explain, “I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but my family is strict and they don’t agree with me entering the entertainment circle. I don’t want to disobey them.”
“What a pity.”
Xue Huaimo sighed but was still unwilling to give up, “There’s still some time before the shooting begins. Think it over. I’ll keep the role of Tianwu open for you.”
With his words reaching this point, if Gu Li refused directly, it would seem a bit ignorant. So, she nodded with a smile, “Alright, thank you Director.”
After this little episode, except for Cheng Ying, the attitudes of the other three judges towards Gu Li became friendlier, and by the time the recording began, they all called her ‘Little Gu’.”
Seeing this, Cheng Ying hated her even more.
Especially since she had to apologize to her on Weibo tonight, she was even more irritated.
The news of what happened in the guest rest room quickly reached Qiu Yuxin’s ears.
Knowing that Gu Li was favored by Director Xue, and invited to play an important supporting role in the new movie, she blew her top, “What the hell is that little bitch? Where did she get the qualifications to play the second female lead in Director Xue’s movie? Did she seduce Director Xue, otherwise —”
“Keep your voice down.”
Her agent, Sister Zhuang, hurriedly stopped her, “Walls have ears. What if Director Xue hears you? How will you contend for the leading role then? Don’t forget the real purpose of your coming to this show. Besides, Gu Li has refused.”
“What? She refused?”
Qiu Yuxin was even more agitated than before.
“Yes,”
Sister Zhuang nodded, “It’s said that her family is against it.”
“I see.”
Qiu Yuxin finally calmed down.
It made sense. A prestigious family like the Mo family would not allow their daughter-in-law to join the entertainment circle.
Initially, Shen Yunsi repeatedly rejected offers thinking about this.
As for Gu Li…
Well, if she was tempted into this circle, then she and Mo Shiting would definitely not end up together. Not to say the rest, but she would never get past the hurdle of Mrs. Song.
Thinking about this, a cunning light flashed in Qiu Yuxin’s eyes.
The first round was an initial stage elimination contest, with 36 women stars competing in a i-on-1 PK for acting skills to secure one of the 18 advancement seats.
The judges scored the two performers in a PK on body control, lines, and emotions, and the one with the highest composite score won.
The female stars who participated in the show were mostly good at acting. Gu Li enjoyed watching and objectively scored each performer.
The competition proceeded smoothly, and finally, it was Qiu Yuxin’s turn in the second half of the show..
