Jiang Zhi saw the newcomer clearly and immediately recognized that it was Bai Man, a minor celebrity who had followed Yan Zhang before. She was now under Swallowtail.

She calmly retracted her gaze and said, “Are you a beggar? Are you worried that others will snatch your food every day?

“If even an outsider like me makes you feel pressured, then I doubt your professionalism. You can go back now.

“Don’t waste the director’s time, and don’t use your lousy acting skills to pollute the audience and waste public resources.”

“You!”

Bai Man never expected Jiang Zhi to still be so arrogant even though she had a conflict with the Yan family.

She was furious and went forward to snatch the registration form from Jiang Zhi’s hand. “Why have you come to experience the life of a commoner? Go back and be your canary!”

Bai Man wanted to tear the registration form up, but when she lowered her head, she realized that the person who had signed up was not Jiang Zhi?

. 

“Yu Wan… ? Who Is This?”

Jiang Zhi’s eyes suddenly turned cold. She took a step forward and snatched the registration form back. “Do you even have the right to ask?”

At that moment, Bai Man almost thought that she had been targeted by a wild beast.

She glared at Jiang Zhi angrily out of embarrassment and mocked her.

“You want to get the resources of ‘Beacon’ with just a newbie? Jiang Zhi, you’re dreaming!”

“I advise you to take her back! You would not want to lose face here!”

Who didn’t know that Director Zheng of “Beacon” was the famous “King of Hell” in the industry?

He did not care how big an actor you were or how strong your background was. In his crew, as long as you didn’t perform well, you would still be scolded like a dog.

Moreover, he was very tricky in choosing the roles, and he rarely used newbies.

In his opinion, newbies often presented a great risk, so few new faces would come to directly audition for his scenes.

Jiang Zhi had already investigated all this information before coming.

“Who’s the one embarrassed? It’s all in the air.”

Ignoring Bai man’s provocation, Jiang Zhi directly took Yu Wan to a corner and handed her the role and related script. “This character design is very suitable for you. Hurry up and familiarize yourself with the lines.”

Jiang Zhi had carefully studied this role. The third female lead in “Beacon” was a maid from a poor family whose mother was seriously ill. She played an extremely crucial role in the entire drama.

Although she did not have as many scenes as the female lead and second female lead, her tragic character was the most heartbreaking part of the drama. It was very easy for her to gain the audience’s favor.

The audition was scheduled for an hour later.

When it was Yu Wan’s turn, the director did not even raise his head. “Name?”

Yu Wan clenched her hands and said softly, “Yu Wan.”

The director raised his head and his brows could not help but furrow. It was a name that he had never heard of before.

Could it be a newcomer?

The director’s eyes immediately lost interest. He had wanted to send her away immediately, but he did not want to leave any loose ends, so he randomly picked a scene.

“This is it. We’ll start in ten minutes.”

It was a scene where the third girl was selling her body to fund her father’s funeral.

Yu Wan was too nervous. She couldn’t feel anything for a long time. Tears were about to come out of her eyes. “Sister Jiang, what should we do? I’ll be rejected.”

Her fingers were trembling. She couldn’t even hold the script properly.

Jiang Zhi simply held Yu Wan’s hand tightly and looked straight into her eyes.

“Yu Wan, don’t be afraid! I dug you out myself. I believe in your strength! Relax and listen to me first.”

“Do you still remember how you felt when your mother was sick and you had no choice but to become a waitress at Elk?”

“You knew very well how chaotic it was in Elk. There was a risk of losing your virginity if you became a waitress, but you still gritted your teeth and went…”

Yu Wan’s eyes revealed a deep struggle and pain. It was obvious that she was recalling how she felt when she broke down back then.

“Sister Jiang, I…”

“Remember that feeling.”

Jiang Zhi’s tone was serious. “I know it’s cruel, but it’s very useful.”

Yu Wan took a deep breath and finally calmed down. “Thank you, Sister Jiang. I understand.”

Looking at Yu Wan who had quickly entered her state of mind with a sorrowful look in her eyes, Jiang Zhi could not help but sigh.

She had to get this role. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used this method-acting ploy to deliberately poke the scar in the other party’s heart.

“Humph, unorthodox!”

A disdainful snort suddenly came from the side. It was Bai Man again. She said sarcastically, “Newbie, do you really think you have a chance? No matter how hard you try, it’s useless. You’d better go back and train for another two years!”
