nThe news that Director Smith was coming here for a casting call had actually gotten out.

n

nThose who were well-informed already knew about it.

n

nThe actresses who were eligible were rubbing their hands together, eager to get this opportunity right away.

n

nIf they could get in with Director Smith, they would be halfway to the international stage!

n

nDirector Smith was a great director!

n

nEven in the international arena, he was very popular and had incredible appeal.

n

nHe had not made many films, but every project of his was carefully crafted and the final result was very good.

n

nEvery movie was a hit and a winner, with a rating of nine or more.

n

nNowadays, many movies were trolled as bad movies. Either the plot had logical problems, or the shooting was problematic, or the actors’ acting skills were not good…

n

nMany movies were rated at five or six, and many bad movies with three or four scores were derided as money laundering.

n

nHowever, every one of Director Smith’s movies got a rating of nine or more!

n

nAfter a few movies, he had established himself as a legendary director.

n

nMoreover, each of his movies could make the actors in them popular.

n

nMany unknown new actors, or actors who had been filming for a long time, but had little popularity, came out of his movies famous.

n

nMoreover, all of these stars had a huge international following.

n

nWasn’t this great news for Hua actors who wanted to walk on the international stage?

n

nUsually, they wanted to go international, but every time, they returned in defeat.

n

nSo what if they were sought after at home? When they went international, who knew who they were?

n

nOthers were international superstars, but they were domestic stars. Was this an equal level?

n

nTherefore, the arrival of Director Smith had ignited the fire in the hearts of many people.

n

nEveryone could not wait to become chosen by Smith and succeed in the international arena!

n

nCheng Yingni was also one of them.

n

nCheng Yingni was very excited when she found out the news.

n

nShe actually knew Director Smith, and had contact with him when she was studying abroad.

n

nHowever, although they have had contact, that did not mean that they had a good relationship.

n

nThey had only met and greeted each other, but they did not have much in-depth contact with each other.

n

nStill, Cheng Yingni felt very confident. After all, she was already much better than the others. At least the director knew her!

n

nMany people had only seen Director Smith on TV and had no contact with him at all.

n

nShe knew Director Smith, which was already a big advantage.

n

nWhen the time came, by getting her face out there, she should be able to make Director Smith more inclined to choose her.

n

nCheng Yingni shuddered with excitement at the thought of being able to work with Director Smith.

n

nDuring New Year’s Eve, she fell and hurt herself, but after days of recuperation, she had recovered.

n

nWhat was left from before was more of a mental trauma. After all, kneeling down in full view of the public was simply humiliating!

n

nHowever, no amount of mental trauma could overpower the desire in her heart.

n

nThis time, she must succeed!

n

nAs long as she succeeded, who would remember such things? When the time came, everyone would only remember her success and celebrate her.

n

n“Who is going to participate in this audition?” she asked her agent.

n

nThe agent gave her a look, “There are quite a few people.”

n

n“Who are they?”

n

n“There’s… Xia Xibei.”

n

nAs soon as this name came out, Cheng Yingni’s face immediately sank.

n

nXia Xibei?! She was also participating?!
