Chapter 131: Encountering a Movie Casting at Li Yan’s Company

The others watched coldly as two women discussed softly.

“Where did this country bumpkin come from? To think she doesn’t know that elevator 9, which is owned by the Blazing Glory Corporation, isn’t open to the public.”

“Look at her appearance. She’s obviously here for the audition.”

“How can a woman with black hair and dark eyes be cast here in the States? Besides, other than that face, there’s nothing special about her.”

“Exactly. She doesn’t know the rules. Maybe the director wouldn’t even want to see her and would just ignore her.”

Chu Luo glanced at the two women who were whispering to each other. She slowly took out a magnetic card from her pocket and scanned it by the elevator door.

With a ding, the door to elevator 9 opened.

Everyone widened their eyes. “!!!”

As Chu Luo entered the elevator, she deliberately glanced at the two of them. The two of them instantly shrunk their necks and became like quails.

Chu Luo subconsciously glanced at herself after entering the elevator. She was still wearing a loose-fitting cardigan and jeans today.

She had a small frame to begin with. Even though she had grown a lot of flesh during this period of time, her figure could not be seen under the loose-fitting clothes.

When the elevator reached the top floor and stopped so the door could open, Li Yan’s secretary, Tan Yinfei, was already waiting for her.

“Miss Chu,” Tan Yinfei greeted. As she walked out of the elevator, he said, “Master is hosting a meeting. He asked me to take you to his office first.”

Chu Luo stopped and asked, “How long will it take for him to finish his meeting?”

“It’ll take at least half an hour.”

Chu Luo nodded. She suddenly wanted to see what the casting process for “Battle of Lightyears” was like, so she asked, “Can I walk around?”

Tan Yinfei nodded. “Sure.”

Then, he took off his work pass from his neck and handed it to Chu Luo. “Miss Chu, you can go around with my work pass. It’s more convenient this way.”

Blazing Glory’s office building wasn’t a place that just anyone could enter and exit, especially if one was just strolling around. Tan Yinfei was worried that Chu Luo would be troubled by daft employees, so he gave her his work pass.

Chu Luo took the work pass and turned to walk back to the elevator. Tan Yinfei even reminded her, “Miss Chu, please be careful.”

Chu Luo nodded and the elevator door closed.

The elevator stopped on the 28th floor. When Chu Luo walked out, she realized that there was no one outside the elevator. However, a voice came from the corner ahead.

Chu Luo walked over and turned the corner, only to discover that she was in a spacious, bright, and semi-open lounge. The lounge connected to a long corridor, and multiple office rooms were in the corridor.

At this moment, there were many people sitting in the lounge. Chu Luo listened for a while and realized that they were all assistants of some celebrity. She stopped listening and walked towards the corridor.

The originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

“Look, there’s a black-haired, black-eyed Asian girl coming for an audition!”

“I used to think Easterners looked similar. This one looks so beautiful.”

“Which company is this person from? Why haven’t I seen her before? She didn’t even bring an assistant?”

“It’s possible that she’s just a nobody who hasn’t debuted yet and is here to try her luck.”

“Ha! Does she think it’ll be enough to have a good-looking face? Maybe she won’t even be able to speak properly when she sees the casting directors.”

All the doors on both sides of the corridor were closed. Outside one of the doors were two rows of long benches.

At this moment, there were seven to eight handsome men and beautiful women standing and looking at a piece of paper each.

The moment Chu Luo appeared, everyone turned around.

“Oh, it’s you.”

Chu Luo looked at the woman she’d met downstairs and replied, “I’m just here to take a look. Has the audition begun?”

“No. The audition will start in a few minutes. Everyone is looking at the materials that the staff has just provided.” After saying that, Inabel shook the piece of paper in her hand and stood up to introduce herself. “My name is Inabel. What’s your name?”

“Chu Luo.”

“Chu, are you from the empire?”

“Mm.”

“Hehe, I heard that the chairman of Blazing Glory Corporation is also from the empire.”

After saying this, Inabel pointed at the chair beside her enthusiastically. “Chu, do you want to sit over there?”

Chu Luo shook her head. “No need. Continue reading.”

“Alright, then.”

Inabel sat back down and continued reading the material.

The others only sized her up.

Soon, the staff came out to call out numbers.

Unexpectedly, Inabel was the first to enter.

A woman suddenly sneered in disdain after Inabel entered.

Chu Luo turned to look at her. She was a woman with brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a tight dress and wasn’t as beautiful as Inabel, but she was good-looking.

When the woman saw Chu Luo looking over, she said bluntly, “I advise you not to get too close to her. Otherwise, you might get duped or betrayed by her.”

After saying that, the woman lowered her head and continued reading the material in her hand.

Inabel was inside for five to six minutes before coming out. She had a faint smile on her face when she came out.

She walked over to Chu Luo and sat down.

Chu Luo asked, “How did the audition go?”

“I don’t know yet. The results will be announced after everyone has finished their audition.”

There was unconcealed confidence in Inabel’s tone.

Then, the others were called in one after another. When the brown-haired woman entered, Inabel even cheered her on. “Bella, you can do it.”

Bella only glanced at her before entering.

When Bella came out, Inabel hurriedly went over and asked, “Bella, which scene did the director ask you to perform?”

“The one where Dark Elves got exiled into the galaxy.”

“Ah, you didn’t get to read this scene in the script yesterday, did you? Doesn’t that mean you had to improvise?”

Bella pursed her lips and stopped talking. There was a clear flash of frustration in her eyes.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with curly red hair strode out of the audition room. The man was holding a phone and his tone wasn’t very good. “Didn’t I ask you to send a few more over? The person for this role must be domineering.”

When the middle-aged man with curly red hair man came out, the group of people who came to audition stood up.

After the middle-aged man ended the call, he glanced at them and his gaze landed on Chu Luo, who was just sitting there.

“You…” The middle-aged man pointed at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo looked up at him. “What is it?”

“Didn’t I say that we don’t need Asian faces for the casting here? Who called you over?”

Chu Luo frowned. “Do I need your approval?”

“You…” The middle-aged man swallowed his words. A few seconds later, he looked at her fiercely. “Don’t you know who I am?”

In this circle, who wouldn’t greet him respectfully when they met him? Where did this wild lass come from? To think she dared to be so impudent.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Luo.

At this moment, the door was opened again. A man who was obviously an assistant hurriedly called out to the middle-aged man, “Mr. Angus, the audition isn’t over. Look…”

Angus glanced around at the people standing there, then focused on Chu Luo. “How many people haven’t auditioned yet?” he asked.

The assistant flipped through the papers and said, “There are three more.”

“Then let her come in for the audition first.” He wanted to see if she could still be so arrogant after he criticized her so directly later.

Angus pointed at Chu Luo and walked towards the door.

Everyone looked at Chu Luo in surprise.

Chu Luo merely raised her eyes and said coldly, “Did I say that I’m here to audition?”

After she said that, her body quickly exuded a powerful aura.

Angus stopped in his tracks at the sight of her aura. He turned around and looked at her in disbelief. “Yes, that’s exactly what I want! An overbearing aura.”

After saying that, he seemed to have forgotten his previous words and said excitedly, “You can use this kind of aura during the audition later.”

Chu Luo still sat there without moving, but her expression turned cold. “I’m not here to audition.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You can come to the audition now.”

Angus simply walked over to her side and looked at her with a scorching gaze. “The ‘Battle of Lightyears’ movie is aiming for this year’s International Film Awards. Do you know how much stardom it will bring you if you played one of the roles?

“When the time comes, you can jump from being an unknown person to being an international superstar. Then, with the company’s help, you might become the next international movie queen.”

Chu Luo’s lips curled into a sneer. “Mr. Angus, if you didn’t lose your memory, you should still be able to remember what you said before.”

“I…”

“I’m not interested in acting.”

“Beautiful lady, listen to me…”

When Angus suddenly became enthusiastic about Chu Luo, the expressions of the people who came for the audition became extremely fascinating.

They didn’t expect that the famous director, who had been cold to them just now, would personally lobby Chu Luo.

They couldn’t help but feel envious, jealous, and hateful.

In particular, Inabel felt that Chu Luo had tricked her.

Inabel sized up Chu Luo. A calculating glint flashed across her eyes. She walked over and called out intimately, “Chu.”

When Chu Luo and Angus looked at her, she helped to persuade the other girl. “Director Angus is the most famous director in the world. It was really hard for us to even qualify for the audition today. Since you have such a good opportunity, you must cherish it.”

In and out, she was implying that Chu Luo had gotten lucky today.

Angus gave Inabel a look of approval.

Encouraged, Inabel tried even harder to persuade her. “Why don’t you go in and audition first? Some people are born to stand under the spotlight, but others aren’t. You can see if you’re suited to it first.”

In her heart, however, she thought maliciously,?‘I can tell at a glance that you’ve never acted before, nor have you been surrounded by cameras before. When you go to the audition, Director Angus will know which of us is more suitable for that role!’

Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at Inabel.
