Bai Rong was surprised. “Even a newbie can compete for this?”

“This is the candidate suggested by Miss Fang Han, the daughter of our investor. She casually recommended her good friend, Fang Mo’er. Tsk tsk, she’s just a rich heiress who doesn’t know anything.”

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Fang Mo’er’s name.

Was Fang Mo’er also competing for the female lead?

“Actually, I know this Fang Mo’er. She has never studied acting before. I don’t think there’s a need for you to show such a terrible video to the director. It will surely affect his good mood!”

She wanted to nip Fang Mo’er efforts in the bud.

The assistant was a little hesitant. “I can’t make the decision, but I can persuade Director Wang to avoid watching such a lousy video. He has always disliked people with bad acting skills the most!”

Bai Rong nodded. “Let’s add each other as friends. It’ll be easier for us to contact each other in the future.”

When all three contestants had sent over their audition videos, the assistant handed the three videos to Director Wang at the same time.

However, he still offered his suggestion, “Director Wang, the person Fang Han recommended has never studied acting before. Her acting skills are really terrible...”

Sure enough, when Director Wang heard this, he immediately removed Fang Mo’er’s video and threw it in the corner without even looking at it.

He then opened the other two videos one by one.

..

That afternoon, Fang Mo’er and Shen Yue arrived at the recording studio.

Shen Yue’s assistant came over and said, “Earlier, the singer Bai Rong also released a new song. The title of the song is very similar to ours. Her song is called “Flame”, while ours is called “Fire”. Should we change the name so that we don’t have the same name as the other party?”

Fang Mo’er and Shen Yue looked at each other. Shen Yue said, “It’s not a big deal if the name is the same!”

Fang Mo’er also silently laughed. “Sister Shen, I’ll go in and record the song then!”

When Fang Mo’er entered the recording booth, the assistant said, “I heard that the style of the song is also the same. These two songs are being released one after another. Won’t they be going head-to-head then?”

“What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the Veiled Queen’s song will be defeated?” Shen Yue was unwavering confidence in Fang Mo’er’s ability.

As expected, the moment Fang Mo’er opened her mouth in the recording studio, the assistant’s worries vanished into thin air. “Sister Shen, the last time the two of them were on the same stage, it had been the talk of the town. I feel like we’ll be linked together again this time. However, I feel relieved now. I’ve heard Bai Rong’s song before. Although it’s an easy song to sing, it’s not on the same level as our song!”

The lyrics of the song “Flame” were simple and easy to understand. It was suitable for square dancing and was very catchy.

On the other hand, the Veiled Queen’s “Fire” was a high-level song. It implied a love for life but was much was harder to sing. However, it undisputedly sounded good!

In the recording studio, the recording engineer felt his blood start to get fired up.

The Veiled Queen’s emotions were so on point that they could rouse people’s spirits.

Several other artistes outside also came over to watch.

When they heard her singing, many of them were mesmerized.

“This song is too good!”

“I know this song. I thought it was just alright, but hearing the Veiled Queen sing it, totally brings it up to a whole new level!”

“This is truly a professional singer!”

Shen Yue was very satisfied with Fang Mo’er’s performance.

After recording the song, Shen Yue took Fang Mo’er back to the office.

“I have some news for you, but you need to prepare yourself first!”

Fang Mo’er took a sip of tea.

Shen Yue said, “Director Wang just sent a message saying that he didn’t select you for the live audition. You shouldn’t feel discouraged. After all, you’ve only learned acting for a few days. If you really want to act in the future, I’ll pick a good role for you.”

Fang Mo’er was a little surprised. She had felt that she had performed quite well. At the very least, she didn’t think she was worse than Bai Rong.

Could it be that she had been overly confident?

Although she was a little disappointed, she did not really care that much. At most, she would continue to work hard in the future. “Okay, Sister Shen, I’ll work hard then.”

“Alright, you can go now! The new song will be released first. After the music video is planned, I’ll notify you when it will be filmed.”

Fang Mo’er nodded.

Elsewhere.

The Fang family.

Fang Han, the second daughter of the Fang family, was currently following the progress of the film’s casting.

Fang Mo’er had said that she wanted to rely on her own merits to get the female lead.

Therefore, Fang Han had only recommended her as a candidate for the female lead through her role as an investor. After that, she had not interfered anymore.

However, she had just found out that Fang Mo’er’s name was not among the selected candidates.

Fang Han was surprised and quickly called Director Wang. However, what she heard was Director Wang’s dissatisfied voice saying, “Miss Fang, you’re an outsider so you don’t understand. The female lead in the movie needs to be famous and popular. A completely new person would not be able to take on this role!”

Fang Han said, “So what if she’s new? As long as her acting skills pass the test, our Fang family will naturally support her!”

Director Wang said, “But what if this person hasn’t even learned any acting skills? Movies aren’t that simple! It’s not like you can support a person just because you want to!”

Fang Han was momentarily stunned. “Are you saying that she can’t act?”

Director Wang: “I don’t know if she can or not, but I heard that she hasn’t even learned acting before!”
