Actually, Ye Mingyu's performance during the audition for the female lead role wasn't so bad, if Xiao Rufeng hadn't shown up that day, the director and the producer were both willing to give her the lead role. Unfortunately for Ye Mingyu, Xiao Rufeng not only delivered a stellar performance in her audition, but she also showed some of her martial arts skills, which Ye Mingyu didn't possess.
Because Su Xiaofei knew the scope of the series and what it was about, she had already prepared Xiao Rufeng for any possibilities before the audition took place. This gave enough time for Xiao Rufeng to work out and improve the condition of her body. Her punch was filled with power and her actions looked natural. This gave her an advantage over Ye Mingyu during their audition for the lead role.
The director of the series applauded Xiao Rufeng for her performance on their first day of filming. She also received a few greetings from the rest of the crew, minus Ye Mingyu who was out of sight. No one bothered to question her whereabouts as their attention was focused on Xiao Rufeng.
"I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath from the start. I have never imagined Xiao Rufeng could easily get into her character and bring it to life so vividly." One of the crew members commented.
"It makes sense. The director was really specific with the actors that would play the roles, no matter how small or big it was." The woman's voice lowered as she looked around, making sure she was out of others' earshot.
"I heard a rumor that Ye Mingyu was supposed to get the female lead role through CEO Mo's intervention, but Xiao Rufeng's performance that day at the audition made Ye Mingyu lose the role. Someone claimed that they overheard that he couldn't forget the look on Xiao Rufeng's eyes when she auditioned." She whispered.
"Witnessing the performance of the two actresses today, I really couldn't blame the director for choosing Xiao Rufeng over Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingyu might have thought that she could get the role through her money boss's help, but Xiao Rufeng was able to defeat her with her talent. Just look at her performance today. While other actors can act as someone else, Xiao Rufeng managed to become the character herself. She might have done a lot of preparation before the audition."
Ye Mingyu had just returned from checking Xiao Rufeng's dressing room when she overheard the conversation among the crew. She remained frozen in place as her heart filled with hatred towards Xiao Rufeng for humiliating her yet again.
If she didn't remind herself that she'd seen the empty bottles of the lemonades she gave Xiao Rufeng earlier, Ye Mingyu wouldn't know how to rein her raging emotions at that moment.
Who said that it was only Xiao Rufeng who made preparations before the audition? Hadn't she practiced a lot and memorized the script just in case the director wanted her to act in a specific scene? As for bringing Mo Yuchen with her that day, he was only playing his role as her support just in case things won't go her way. She hadn't anticipated that even his support, she would still fail to get the role.
All of these wouldn't happen if Su Xiaofei hadn't intervened again. No matter where Ye Mingyu looked, Su Xiaofei was always involved in her failures. If it wasn't the case, then she must really have been born under a cursed star.
Ye Mingyu took a deep breath and calmed her nerves. She only needed to wait for Xiao Rufeng to fall sick, and the role will be hers. If that failed, there were still many action scenes in their script, and she had many chances to stage an unintentional accident for Xiao Rufeng.
'Xiao Rufeng, you should blame yourself. You are the one who snatched my role to begin with.' She thought and walked away, pleased with the plans she had in her mind.
As for Su Xiaofei, well… she needed to think of better ways to get even with her.
Ever since Su Xiaofei replaced her mother as the head of Bluemedia, her appearance in public had significantly been reduced. Apart from attending important events, she could barely be seen outside working hours as she spent most of her time accompanying her ailing mother, but that didn't mean she was neglecting her responsibility to her talents.
In order for Xiao Rufeng to get the role, she had put the actress under a strict training prior to the day of the audition. This gave Xiao Rufeng some time to understand the role better and become one with it. As a result, Xiao Rufeng was able to play the female lead role better than Ye Mingyu.
As for the defeated Ye Mingyu, Su Xiaofei knew that that woman wouldn't stand idly, watching Xiao Rufeng play the female lead. She had auditioned for the female lead, but ended up being chosen as the second lead. Knowing Ye Mingyu's prideful nature, she had already anticipated that her dear sister would pull something in the dark again.
When Xiao Rufeng and her assistant returned to her dressing room, Xiao Rufeng stood still for a moment for the second time that day. Her assistant didn't dare to question her this time and looked around, trying to see if there was something suspicious inside the room. Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to lock the door from the outside since the keys hadn't been given to them yet, although Xiao Rufeng's important belongings were being kept safe by her assistant.
Xiao Rufeng checked the planter box to see if there were any changes. Her eyes darkened seeing that the green, leafy plants had wilted and turned black after a few hours.
Her assistant came and looked over her shoulder to see what she was looking at. A gasp left her lips and she covered her mouth in shock. It hadn't been too long since they left, but the plants were dead!
