My Son is a Reborn Villain

Chapter 95

Although Xianxia-themed films were considered niche, there had been rumors circulating internally about the production being heavily invested and supported by Si Yue and Apple Entertainment. As a result, regardless of whether agents had confidence in this genre, those with connections all wanted to audition. Even if this movie flopped, it would still be great to make some important connections.

Therefore, even for supporting roles, there are many second-tier or higher young stars competing for the roles. Except for those who genuinely couldn’t free up their schedules, they all gathered here in a frenzy.

Fortunately, the director and producers only auditioned for important roles in person, while other roles were done by assistant directors or filled by people recommended by investors.

Because the director’s time was precious, each person was only given five minutes for the audition.

The fifth actress who came to audition for the female supporting role was Jiang Jiang, a budding second-liner who hadn’t quite reached first-line status. It wasn’t easy for her company and agent to secure this audition opportunity for her. They hoped she could transition to the big screen and if she could land a role in a major production, she would be able to break through the bottleneck and rise to first-line stardom.

Therefore, she attached great importance to this opportunity and even cleared her schedule one week prior to the audition in order to hone her acting skills.

The audition this time was conducted on-site, and the specific roles to be auditioned were revealed only ten minutes before the start. After receiving their assigned numbers, the actors and actresses were given temporary scripts for the audition.

This system meant that those who drew earlier numbers had little time to prepare, and Jiang Jiang was quite lucky to get a middle number.

When he saw Jiang Jiang, Wenwen immediately sat up straight. Compared to Xia Wenning, who had been suppressed by Fang Xueruo in his previous life and never rose again, Jiang Jiang managed to rise high enough that she almost overshadowed Fang Xueruo, although that only happened after Fang Xueruo married into the Chang family and retired from the entertainment industry to raise her child.

Later, during the peak of Jiang Jiang’s fame, she got married and retired abruptly. Although her popularity waned afterward, she led a happy life with her husband. However, due to unfortunate circumstances in her middle age, her husband’s family company went bankrupt, and she returned to filming TV shows and participating in programs.

Wenwen knew Jiang Jiang because she had once helped him, even though it was just a few words for her. However, for him, it was one of the few acts of kindness he had received.

Wenwen had no idea that she had also auditioned for this film. His bright eyes looked intently at Jiang Jiang. Her acting skills at this time were not as polished as they would be twenty years later, but she possessed the vitality and charisma of a young woman. Even ignoring his bias, Wenwen felt that among all the people he had seen, Jiang Jiang portrayed this character most fittingly.

Si Yue noticed Wenwen’s unusual attitude and asked, “Do you think this sister is acting well?”

As soon as Wenwen heard Si Yue’s voice, he subconsciously wanted to give him another cold shoulder. But then he realized that Teacher Jiang Jiang didn’t appear in this production later on, which meant she didn’t get selected. Wenwen hesitated for a moment but finally decided to help her. However, he knew he was just a little child. Being likable was one thing, but if he wanted to influence the opinions of adults, someone with a right to speak had to speak up.
