My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady
Chapter 445: There’s a Role That Suits You

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: There’s a Role That Suits You

Everywhere she passed, eyes followed her, all converging on Yuran.

Muttering softly amongst themselves.

"Is she, she, she trying to intimidate Xia Ruyan?"

"Has she really become overly arrogant?"

...

The live broadcast became a frenzy.

"Wow, she’s my goddess from now on, I particularly love Huanya’s audition this time, showing me what level of acting skill is, beyond my reach."

"Agree with the comment above, Yuran’s acting is explosive, honestly, reaching this level is indeed extraordinary."

"Right? I think she could even win Best Actress."

"Didn’t she only shoot two movies before and win two major awards? She’s already got Best Newcomer, is Best Actress far off?"

"Not far at all, not in the slightest."

"Yes, yes, yes, not at all far, just waiting for Yuran to get Best Actress."

"Speaking of Yuran, when will the great film emperor who has worked with Yuran twice make a comeback, we know he doesn’t lack money, but we are short on splurging, has Bo Yan completely abandoned us? Please, Yuran, tell Bo Yan that his fangirls are all longing for his return."

"Exactly, once a month appearances are just too perfunctory."

...

Amidst the buzzing of conversations, Yuran had already approached Xia Ruyan, standing firm, slightly taller than her, and her presence seemed just a bit more commanding.

Xia Ruyan was seething inside, feeling that Yuran was humiliating her. Grinding her teeth, she looked at the person before her, "What do you want to do?"

Yuran, "I just want to ask you one question, why did you antagonize me two years ago? Was it because you wanted to sabotage my audition for ’City of Temptation’ back then?

But now, I’ve still auditioned for ’City of Temptation’, and the response is pretty good, what are you going to do?"

Seeing her smug look, Xia Ruyan huffed, "Yuran, don’t be so proud. You’re just taking advantage of the fact that Xia Ji is in your studio, knowing all about my situation, making me embarrassed here;

The Xia Family can abandon me, and naturally, the Bo Family can abandon you too, neither of us is nobler than the other."

Yuran raised her index finger, wagging it at Xia Ruyan, "No, no, that’s not right. I’m different from you. The Bo Family won’t abandon me, whereas you are truly a loser from a fallen family, and you know it deep down.

Otherwise, why haven’t you dared to touch me for two years even though you have the strong backing of your family? Is it because you’re kind? Are you kind?"

"You..." Xia Ruyan was extremely annoyed by the way Yuran talked. Although she kept her voice low, each and every word was a jab at her sore spots, making her want to reach out and cover Yuran’s babbling mouth.

But she was very clear that if she laid a hand on her, if she reached out to Yuran, it would be her downfall.

Yuran was right, she knew very well that their positions in the Xia and Bo families were completely different. If the Bo Family truly didn’t care about Yuran,

then she would have been kicked out long ago, right? But now? She’s still part of the Bo Family, with no bad news leaking out, and even she had heard some rumors about Yuran’s relationship with Bo Yan, but she didn’t believe them.

Xia Ruyan held back her emotions, she had also witnessed Yuran’s performance just now, and more importantly, she couldn’t afford to lose this audition opportunity now.

She passed Yuran and headed to the audition room, and Yuran did not stop her.

Finding a quiet spot, she calmly closed her eyes and rested.

In the live studio.

"Wow, wow, wow, the goddess is really... not following the crowd."

"So, you’re not even going to watch the live stream or bother with anyone else, just going to rest like that? You’re really just going to rest now?"

"It seems so, she is ready to rest."

Everyone: "..."

Those actresses with no chance at the audition were now lingering not far from Yuran, several of them wanted to approach and speak to her, but felt it wasn’t quite right, especially since they had talked about her before.

Now that they had witnessed her superior acting skills with their own eyes, they wanted to ask for some advice, but couldn’t swallow their pride, always feeling a bit opportunistic.

They hesitated, pushing and shoving one another.

Annan sat next to Yuran and nudged her with his elbow, "These young actresses seem like they want to talk to you."

Yuran didn’t even open her eyes, just curled her lips slightly, "If they want to come, let them. I’m not stopping anyone."

Annan, "But it seems they’re too embarrassed to come over, probably because they spoke ill of you earlier."

In Annan’s voice, there was no mistaking the gloating.

Yuran: "...So, what’s the reason for saying all this? Do you want me to join you in mocking them?"

Annan shook his head, "No, no, I don’t have that kind of bad taste, I just find it funny."

Yuran curled her lips, "I don’t have much sympathy, nor do I intend to get on good terms with too many people in the industry, I don’t care what others think of me, they can only talk anyway."

Annan: "...Incredible, is this confidence given to you by the great Bo Yan? You’re so arrogant."

Yuran just smiled without replying.

The live stream viewers were all looking forward to Xia Ruyan’s performance with great anticipation, ready to make the most vivid comparison. After all, in their view, the acting of an actress of her caliber should be more solid than that of a newcomer like Yuran, right?

Suddenly, a viewer realized a question.

So they raised the question in the live stream.

"That’s strange, why would an actress like Xia Ruyan, who’s already a leading lady, come to audition on-site like these newcomers? With her status and value, why would she care so much about this role?"

"Right, now that you mention it, I’m curious too."

"Yes, yes, it is a bit odd."

And so the live stream chat veered off topic again.

Xia Ruyan’s performance was free of problems, standard and by the book, and the problem was that it was too textbook, lacking in freshness, rendering it stiff. At first glance, she seemed on par with Yuran, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that Yuran was superior in the nuances of her portrayal.

Yuran broke away from the traditional acting style and reshaped herself, bringing a new vitality to her character.

She gave the character a new soul.

It was a completely new method of acting, unique to her.

After her performance ended, Xia Ruyan stood on the stage waiting for Gui Yu’s evaluation. Gui Yu frowned, speaking with the producer. After half a minute, he finally turned his gaze to Xia Ruyan and with an even tone, stated a fact as if it were already decided.

"I’m sorry, you’re not suitable for this role, but if you can accept it, I do have another role that I think would suit you better."

Xia Ruyan clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down and asked, "What role?"

"The male lead’s sister."

A role that is spiteful, mercenary, arrogant, disdainful, and also repellant.

But honestly, if the role is portrayed well, it can be considered a decent role. However, someone used to playing the leading lady like Xia Ruyan might find it hard to accept the downgrade to a secondary character, and the mental adjustment was not something Xia Ruyan could handle at the moment.
