521.The Wayward Script

Pretending to jump in fright to have been shouted at Li Lisa said, "I'm so sorry. I... I thought only people in their 30s or 40s would be this gossipy and nasty with words..."

She was calling Jiang Qian a gossip and nosy parker!

A few actresses around started whispering and giggling when they heard Li Lisa's remarks..

Jiang Qian's expression turned stormy. Just as she was about to speak again, the door to the audition room opened.

Everyone fell silent and turned to look in that direction.

A man in the late 30s or 40s walked out. His shoulder length hair was peppered with silver strands, and his glasses made him look rather artistic.

"Director Ma," someone recognized him and called out immediately.

Director ma nodded and asked, "Are all of you here
for the audition?"

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

"Great We'll let five of you in at a time. Five of you will be playing opposite each other for the audition. non actors may step back."

Immediately, Cheng Jisoo and Bai Jin retreated, together with the personal assistants.

Director Ma looked around and randomly pointed to a few of them, saying, "The few of you, come with me."

Li Lisa had been selected, so she followed him into the room.

Li Yeri and Jiang Qian were also included in this group. The other two were the actresses who were just in cahoots with Jiang Qian as they were arguing.

When Bai Jin and Cheng Jisoo noted this, they naturally felt rather nervous.

Cheng Jisoo asked anxiously, "Are they going to gang up against Sister Lisa?"

Bai Jin frowned and said, "Probably. But given her
capability, it should be fine."

"But the five are playing opposite each other and need to coordinate. If she were to be targeted..."

Things didn't look good.

Bai Jin became nervous now that he was alerted.

He stared at the door and started thinking.

True enough, it was like what was rumored.

When they entered the room, they were given a stack of scripts to choose from.

Director Ma instructed, "Five scripts, five roles. Each of you has only one line to deliver. This is to test your ability to think on your feet."

The scripts were labeled A to e. Li Lisa selected the script labeled C.

When she opened it, she saw a single paragraph printed on it.

ABC were three people at a gathering. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot. A was shot dead, B started crying from the fright, and D came running in with the gun.

C rescued B, and eventually, I was subdued by E.

The lines:

A (Drunk): Drink to your heart's content, it's on me!
B (Crying and frightened): Arghhhh!
C (Calm): Run, hurry!
D (Hysterical): Hand over the stuff!
E (Unhurried): You're under arrest.

All of them were stunned.

No one had expected such a wayward script.

They compared notes and confirmed that indeed,
they had been given the same scene, the same script.
