"Yes, I'm Meng Yao. I wasn't chosen, right? Okay, I get it."
After Meng Yao hung up the phone, she and Guan Liang started staring at each other for a few seconds.
"Look, I'm right. You won't be admitted in your current state. The "Fu Yue" position will probably go to Meng Qingqing. But don't lose heart. I'll find a way for you. As long as you show good performance..."
The bell rang again, and it was the crew of "A Journey to the End of the World".
Meng Yao answered the phone hesitantly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Ms. Meng Yao, please don't hang up the phone in a hurry. You may have misunderstood. What we want to inform you is congratulations! You have successfully won the role of "Fu Yue"!"
"… Hello? Ms. Meng, are you still listening? If you are, please give me a reply…"
Meng Yao didn't hear a word of the rest of the conversation.
Because her mind was bombarded with that sentence:
Congratulations on getting the role of "Fu Yue"...
Got the role of "Fu Yue"...
The role of "Fuyue"...
Guan Liang saw Meng Yao’s pale face and thought that her reaction time was slow.
"It's normal that I can't get this role. After all, this is Director Li's work, and many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat! I failed this time..."
Suddenly a text message came to Guan Liang's mobile phone. After reading the content of the message, Guan Liang could no longer remain calm.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!? You actually passed the audition!? Meng Yao!!!"
*
The crew of "The Journey to the End of the World" has not yet officially announced the cast list, but staff will have already informed the actors who previously auditioned of the results of their auditions. It may be earlier or later, but the difference in time will not be too big.
The people in the training room quickly surrounded Meng Qingqing after she came out.
"Qingqing, did the crew call? You are amazing. You have just entered the industry and you can get such good resources. I heard that "The Journey to the End of the World" has the potential to compete for major awards!"
"I just saw Meng Yao looking depressed, as if she was about to die. She was upset because she was not chosen! She likes to talk nonsense all the time, so this time she got a good slap in the face! But Qingqing, remember to stay away from her. Meng Yao is a person with a strong desire for revenge. Don't push her into a corner and make her bite you!"
…
No one noticed Meng Qingqing's slightly embarrassed expression.
In their opinion, Meng Qingqing was the one with the best chance of getting the role, and Meng Yao's expression at this moment, like a defeated rooster, indirectly confirmed this point.
Meng Qingqing sighed, with a complicated look on her face, and whispered: "Actually... I just received a call, I was not selected by the crew..."
"How is this possible? Qingqing, you performed so well, how could you not be selected? Didn't Director Li's eyes light up? Doesn't that still count as excellent?"
"Qingqing, are you kidding us? But don't joke about this matter. We will all sincerely support you! If you become famous in the future, I hope you will not forget us, the 18th-tier stars!"
…
"Eighteen-tier" is a self-deprecating term, but they are indeed not popular artists.
"I'm not kidding you guys, and I know someone in the crew, and he told me that the person chosen to play the role of 'Fu Yue' this time is..."
Meng Qingqing continued to throw the next bomb.
"It's Meng Yao!"
The people around couldn't help but be surprised.
"How is this possible? I would believe anyone you say, but how could it be Meng Yao? How could she be chosen with her second-rate acting skills?"
…
Meng Qingqing didn't say anything, but there was a deep sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
Why did I work so hard to prepare for so long but was easily intercepted by Meng Yao? Meng Yao obviously paid for it...
Meng Qingqing, who had always had a smooth life since childhood, felt the harshness of reality for the first time and vowed in her heart to change this situation.
Everyone in the circle knows that there is no one here who is absolutely clean. In fact, getting a role depends on one's strength. Although using money to get something is despicable, one has to admit that money is also part of one's own strength.
So no matter how much the people in the training room looked down on Meng Yao, they didn't try to make their presence felt in front of her. At most they would just scold her in private.
Rong Qiao also heard something about this matter, and he hated Meng Yao even more.
Meng Yao is just a vase, how can she have any real ability? Wasn’t the money she used to buy the role this time from the Rong family
Considering that the Rong family is a wealthy family, yet they have to deal with such a shameful person, they are really unlucky!
Meng Yao was in no mood to play some entertainment to kill time because she was also very depressed.
She was also thinking about what happened this morning.
According to the plot development, she should be showing off to attract hatred. After Meng Qingqing gets the role, she will slap her in the face to achieve a cool point.
But how did the plot deviate into her slapping the heroine Meng Qingqing in the face
The thing that Meng Yao had been worried about, that the plot's excitement would decline, did not happen. It was even increasing at a very slow pace.
Meng Yao was completely puzzled. She had never encountered such a strange situation in all her years of working in the industry.
Today's readers' tastes are becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Meng Yao sighed.
Now we can only continue according to the original plan, and hope that the plot can get back on track quickly.
Meng Yao did not forget to comfort herself. The excitement value of the plot in the book world this time was the fastest growing in history. At least it proved that her current approach was not wrong.

"Sister Meng, here we have steamed buns, hamburgers, and fried dumplings... and your favorite taro milk tea! Brother Liang said that since you got such a good role, he should indulge you and let you eat as much as you want!"
Xiao Song quickly took out the lunch box and put it on the table.
Huanzhen Entertainment has a restaurant that provides meals, but Meng Yao has a very picky taste and thinks the food here is not authentic, so she always asks the other assistants to buy food outside.
“Okay…” Meng Yao tore open the packaging of the chopsticks and looked at the table full of delicious food, but she had no appetite, which was unusual for her.
She was still upset about what happened in the morning.
Because of the bad news of being chosen to play Fu Yue, Meng Yao was listless the whole day and couldn't even concentrate on eating.
Xiao Song was sitting next to her and was a little confused seeing her look.
If it were before, Meng Yao would have been so proud of herself and then issued a few press releases to inform the whole world, wanting everyone to know how powerful she was.
Xiao Song could only think of one possibility.
"Sister Meng, I have some digestive tablets here, do you want some..."
