Chapter 86: Send Her A Blade

Translator: Zayn_

It was just as Song Qingyou had expected.

When Shen Xiyan, who was still filming, heard the news, she immediately clarified and filed a police case.

However, there was no progress in the case.

Many netizens thought that since they could not find any clues, it meant that the person in the photos and videos might be Shen Xiyan herself.

Shen Xiyan could not argue with such a guess.

In the end, she had to send dozens of lawyer’s letters before she could barely shut everyone up.

The more Shen Xiyan was in trouble during this period, the smoother the shooting of ‘The Immortal Demon’ would be.

After the female lead and script were confirmed, many unknown actors came to find them.

They were all interested in Song Qingyou’s popularity and wanted to take a gamble on this drama.

Xu Mingrui was a new director himself. He naturally did not look at qualifications when choosing actors. As long as they passed the audition, everything was negotiable.

Song Qingyou came out of the internet cafe just in time for the auditions.

She appeared with the cat in her arms and immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

She had read all the relevant information about the lead actors in the production team, so she would not be at a loss when others greeted her. Standing next to her was the second female lead, Zhen Wenwen.

Her appearance was very suitable for the image of the second female lead, Xiao Baihua.

Zhen Wenwen was three years older than Song Qingyou. She had played minor roles in the film industry for two years and had only been signed by the agency a few months ago.

The reason why she came to film ‘The Immortal Demon’ was probably because she wasn’t taken seriously.

“Sister Song-”

Zhen Wenwen called her sister.

Song Qingyou’s mouth twitched. “Just call me by my name.”

“Qingyou.” Zhen Wenwen quickly changed her words and asked softly, “Did you notice that one of the leads is missing?”

“Didn’t you say that the second male lead was that guy? Why didn’t I see him?”

Song Qingyou realized that there were only three people in the front row.

After the ceremony, she went to ask Xu Mingrui, “Where’s the second male lead?”

“He said he took on another drama and won’t be coming.”

Xu Mingrui’s expression was very bad.

Even though that person didn’t sign the contract, he didn’t do what he promised and left just like that. He didn’t care about the crew of ‘The Immortal Demon’ at all.

“Ignore him. Have you found someone to replace him?” Song Qingyou asked.

“Not yet. I’m thinking of shooting the scenes without the second male lead for the time being.”

Song Qingyou was deep in thought. “I have a candidate to recommend, but I’m not sure if he’s willing to come.”

“Who is it?”

“Yu Muhuai.”

“Is it the singer who participated in that variety show with you?”

Xu Mingrui had watched Man vs. Wild 3 after he returned.

“I think he’s quite popular now. Whether he can act or not is another matter, but he won’t agree, right?”

Even though Xu Mingrui was very confident in himself, he had to admit that in the eyes of others, his production team was like a wheelbarrow in a storm that could capsize at any time…

“I’ll send him a message.”

Song Qingyou felt that Yu Muhuai was very likely to agree.

If he had the intention to develop into an actor, this drama could be his chance to give it a try.

After a while, Yu Muhuai replied.

Song Qingyou sent him her location.

“I told him to come here directly.”

“He agreed?” Xu Mingrui was surprised and then understood. “Sis, he might have come because of you.”

“Then think of a way to keep him, understand?”

“Understood!”

Her resolute answer attracted Jiang Zhihan’s attention.

After all, Xu Mingrui wasn’t so obedient and well-behaved in front of others.

Xu Mingrui sensed a certain cat’s gaze and his danger prediction ability, which was similar to that of a small animal, immediately came online.

He looked around warily, his gaze finally landing on Song Qingyou.

Cousin wasn’t here, so the person he couldn’t afford to offend the most was the person in front of him!

Xu Mingrui immediately expressed his stance.

“Sis, go and rest first. I’ll handle the audition. It’ll definitely be fine!”

His tone was even more polite than before.

Song Qingyou was baffled.

As soon as Xu Mingrui walked away, Zhen Wenwen came over.

Her expression was like a gossiping auntie.

“How is it? Did Director Xu say anything about the second male lead? Did something happen?”

“He’s on a higher branch,” Song Qingyou replied.

“Oh~” Zhen Wenwen instantly understood.

As someone in the industry, she couldn’t say much about this, so she deliberately changed the topic.

“Why did Qingyou take on this drama?”

“The company only gave me this choice.”

“Eh?” Zhen Wenwen never expected that the reason was actually this.

Song Qingyou didn’t explain further. “Have you read the new script? What do you think?”

She asked this question because she wanted to hear the feedback of the other actors.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Wenwen’s reaction was especially big, like a little girl chasing after a star.

“I’ve read it, I’ve read it. I’ve also read the previous script. 1 have to say that Teacher Qing Meng is really amazing. I think if this drama is filmed well, it will definitely become popular.”

“But I want to send a knife to Teacher Qing Meng even more. It was so torturous in the middle, but I wanted to continue watching.”

Song Qingyou was slightly relieved, thinking that her scriptwriter skills were still there.

“Right, Qingyou, you seem to be very familiar with Director Xu. Do you know Teacher Qing Meng?”

“You want to find her?” Song Qingyou asked.

“I want to send her a knife! 1 think when this drama is broadcast, many people will definitely want to do this. It’s really torturing me to tears…”

Zhen Wenwen pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

When Song Qingyou saw this, she instantly became determined.

“I’m not familiar with her.”

Jiang Zhihan glanced at Song Qingyou and thought, ‘You don’t even know her? How dare you say that!’

“Does Teacher Qing Meng have a Weibo account? I couldn’t find it even after searching for a long time last night…”

“I’m not sure.” Song Qingyou shook her head.

Zhen Wenwen said it was a pity.

“Two beauties, do you want some water?”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted.

Zhen Wenwen was about to complain about who had such a greasy tone when she looked up and saw that it was the male lead of the program, Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin came from an academic background, has good looks, and has participated in a talent show. If he hadn’t graduated from school and had no resources, he probably wouldn’t have accepted the male lead role in this drama.

He held two bottles of water and smiled at the two of them.

“I saw that you guys have been chatting here for a long time and should be thirsty, so I took the initiative to bring some water over.”

Then, he blinked and said, “With so many people watching, it will make me feel very awkward.”

Zhen Wenwen lowered her head and thanked him.

Just by looking at Zhou Jin’s eyes, she knew that the target of this person’s conversation was Song Qingyou. It had nothing to do with her.

As expected, Zhou Jin’s next sentence was, “Sister Qingyou, your cat is really cute. Can 1 pet it? I also have a cat at home, but it’s not as good-looking as yours…”

As he spoke, he leaned over.

Song Qingyou put the cat on the ground without a change in expression. “If

Zhizhi agrees, you can touch him as you please.”

Zhou Jin’s movements froze and he had no choice but to squat down.

Jiang Zhihan looked at Song Qingyou with a reproachful look before jumping onto the wall next to him.

Zhou Jin’s lips twitched.” It seems that Sister Qingyou doesn’t want me to touch her cat…”

Zhen Wenwen felt awkward for him and couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t you watch Man vs. Wild? Zhizhi usually wouldn’t let others touch him.”

Zhou Jin praised dryly, “This cat really has a personality.”

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long before they were called away by the makeup artist.
