I was just an ordinary person, but somehow I ended up dressed as a female celebrity.

Chapter 18 Venomous Tongue Actor Lu

This group needs to draw famous quotes or scenes from the characters they are performing.

After interviewing more than ten groups of people, Lu Bowen's expression grew increasingly grim. The director remained calm, the screenwriter was expressionless, but the casting director was in a terrible predicament.

He sat next to the movie star Lu, who was emitting a cold aura. The weather was clearly a warm summer day, but he broke out in a cold sweat.

Just as Ling Xia had predicted, Lu Yingdi's sharp-tongued style remained unchanged at the audition.

After the first person finished performing, Lu Bowen, with his handsome face, said, "So the standards of the entertainment industry have dropped this low?"

After the second person finished performing, someone said, "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become an actor? Just because you can cry and laugh doesn't make you an actor... Your voice is too soft, your smile is too stiff, did you have plastic surgery?"

Midway through the third person's performance, Lu Bowen said expressionlessly, "Your performance was so embarrassing that I wanted to crawl into a hole... I'm sorry, my words might have been a bit harsh today, but that's the truth, and we can't deceive ourselves."

The actress, who was performing, paused, her smile became increasingly stiff, and then she stumbled over her lines.

Wow, impressive mouth and voice, not a single comment was repeated. Culturally speaking, amazing; how many books has this person read?

The casting director sighed, "My dear Lu Ying-e (a famous Chinese actor), your level of sharp wit has reached a whole new level."

One-third of the actresses were driven away by your words. Another third were rejected by screenwriters for not being attractive enough, failing to pass the first round. Will we still be able to choose today?

Then Ling Xia walked out, and everyone was immediately struck by her beauty and graceful figure. Among the many auditioning actors, Ling Xia's appearance was definitely the most eye-catching.

When director Cheng Wanli saw Ling Xia, he couldn't help but chuckle, recalling the video of her eating fried chicken. He circled a line on Ling Xia's resume, indicating that he would give her a role regardless of whether she was selected or not.

Now it remains to be seen whether she can get past the Demon King Lu.

Lu Mo Bo Wang Wen looked at Ling Xia with a slightly contemplative gaze as she appeared.

The casting director, seeing that Ling Xia was beautiful and had a good figure, and fearing that Actor Lu would ask some difficult questions, spoke first before the Actor Lu, asking Ling Xia a few more normal questions: "What's your name? What TV dramas have you acted in? Can you write calligraphy? Do you have a crying scene?"

Today, Ling Xia came to audition for the fifth female lead, Mu Nianci, a beautiful and talented woman with a delicate physique, who is the male lead's cousin. The only two requirements are that she be beautiful and have a lovely, endearing figure. That's why the assistant director asked this question.

Ling Xia walked to the middle, her expression changed slightly, and her eyes filled with tears as she looked ahead, as if a young man was questioning her. Her legs trembled, and she collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the blow. Her eyes were red as she looked at the young man, and tears streamed down her cheek from her left eye, making her look pitiful and pathetic.

As the giant screen fell, Xia stood up and wiped away her tears with her left thumb, intending to say that she couldn't write calligraphy.

Lu Bowen didn't expect her to be so powerful. This girl was beautiful, but her eyes were clean and innocent. When she performed, she was pitiful with tears in her eyes.

Despite having the cleanest face among the five, Lu Bowen touched his brow and said, "Go over there and learn a fight scene from the martial arts teacher for 10 minutes before you perform."

Aside from Lu Bowen, everyone else's expression shifted. This character doesn't need any action scenes, so this is...

The director and screenwriter exchanged glances. As for the action scenes, the courtesan assassin Ni Chang had not yet been chosen.

Ling Xia looked completely bewildered as she learned martial arts from the instructor. Her cousin had action scenes? There weren't any in the original novel. Did the screenwriter change the character's personality?

When Lingxia went to study, the last person in the group began to perform.

Lu Bowen didn't even look at it; his attention was entirely on Ling Xia.

The martial arts instructor quickly demonstrated a few moves to Lingxia. Someone without a background in action scenes would likely struggle to remember them. However, Lingxia not only had a good memory but also a dance background. Combined with the rigorous training she received from Professor Yang, she memorized most of the moves after just a few sessions.

The martial arts instructor took one look and exclaimed, "Wow, this is a promising talent!" and cheerfully added a few more moves. Then the two practiced their moves together.

After the last actor finished performing, he looked at the judges and realized that no one was paying attention to him. He stomped his foot and returned to his original position.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia's movements changed from stiff to composed.

Ling Xia made her move with overwhelming force; her strikes were clean and swift, her eyes sharp and piercing. The sword moved faster and faster, creating gusts of wind. The atmosphere was palpable, filled with a chilling aura of killing intent.

When Ling Xia finished her performance, the others present were filled with amazement and wonder, and the crowd erupted in applause.

The casting director whispered to the director, "This is a gem! Director, where did you discover it?"

Everyone knows that Ling Xia was personally selected by the director to be added to the invitation list. They originally thought she was just a pretty face, but it turns out she's a talented actress.

Cheng Wanli stared intently at Ling Xia, not missing a single expression or movement on her face.

Cheng Wanli was inwardly proud, but his face remained serious as he said, "It's alright."

The image is so perfect for Ni Chang; she *is* Ni Chang.
