As expected, Ada's efficiency was quite high. In less than half a day, she had already asked about the director's itinerary.
Although she did not know why Ye Ning Xiao was asking about this, she naturally had her reasons for asking. As long as she did her best to help her, it would be fine. She just hoped that it would be useful to her.
Having received the news, Ye Ning Xiao did not choose her script. She was in deep thought as she stared blankly at the director's schedule.
At first, Ada did not want to disturb her thinking, but in the end, she could not resist the impulse in her heart and asked, "Ning Xiao, why are you staring blankly at this trip for so long? Could it be that it's more important than choosing a script?"
Ye Ningxiao only smiled and did not answer her.
The next day, under heavy rain and an umbrella, Ye Ningxiao waited for several hours on the director's path.
There was no one on the road. She was like a beautiful scarecrow, standing there, completely unperturbed by the wind and rain. Even though she had been waiting for hours, she did not give up.
This was how she was. Once she chose a goal, if she didn't get any results, she would never give up.
She was very patient, so she was able to succeed. However, it could be seen now how difficult and frustrating her success was. It was not as simple and smooth as others imagined.
Her clothes were soaked, but she was still standing straight. Her eyes were still bright as she stared at the traffic on the road. She could see every license plate clearly, and there was nothing wrong with it.
After a few hours, the car she had been waiting for finally arrived from the opposite direction. As soon as the car arrived, she waved from a distance and ran to the middle of the road, stopping the car.
The car was the director's car, and of course she didn't want to crash into the director's car. She wanted the director to stop and ask her to say a few words.
Very fortunately, the director ordered the driver to stop the car, then stuck his head out and asked in surprise, "Eh? What are you trying to do? I'm in a hurry, can you please step aside? "Even if you want to commit suicide, you have to choose a relatively idle car, okay? There's a bunch of them later on."
Ye Ningxiao stood firmly in front of the car and pleaded, "Director, hello. I've seen the script for this movie and I feel that I can perform very well. Please let me go for the audition. Thank you!"
The director looked confused and asked impatiently, "Which show? What script? No way, you're here to stop my car, not to kill yourself, but to film? "You're in quite the spirit."
Listening to the director ridiculing her, Ye Ningxiao did not mind at all as she said in a low voice, "It's that scene where Solitary Spirit Smoke was acting as the female lead. I feel that I have a very thorough understanding of the female lead, and I will definitely be more suited to this role than Solitary Spirit Smoke. Please let me try it out, Director!"
"I'm in a hurry, big brother. If you want to audition, can you change the date? "Okay?" The director was getting more and more impatient from her quarreling. Finally, he directly said, "Can you stop my car and get out of here?"
Ye Ning Xiao refused to give up. She believed that the director would not dare to hit her in his car.
The director helplessly said, "Are you going to scram? If you don't, I'm going to call the police."
After all, he was really in a hurry. If the police arrived after half a day, even if Ye Ningxiao were to step aside, what was the point in doing so? On the contrary, he would lose a large amount of money because of a rascal's interception.
When Ye Ningxiao heard the alarm, she refused to move aside and continued to plead for the audition. Helpless, the director could only curry favor with her for the time being and let her go to the mirror the next day.
After finally getting her consent, Ye Ning Xiao thanked him profusely for getting out of the way. She watched the director's car drive off before returning to her apartment in high spirits.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at the apartment, he had a high fever because the rain had been too heavy and too cold.
While Ada took meticulous care of Ye Ningxiao, she called Fang Wang An and told him that Ye Ningxiao was sick.
When Fang Wang An heard the news, he was extremely worried and immediately came to visit Ye Ning Xiao at her apartment.
Ye Ningxiao's face was pale. Her breathing was weak as she lay on the bed. Her eyes, however, seemed to be filled with happiness without a hint of regret.
Fang Wang An asked with concern, "Ning Xiao, what happened to you to suddenly have such a serious illness?"
Ye Ning Xiao told Fang Wang An about the sequence of events that had led her to the driver's seat today. She even happily said, "The director promised that I would be able to go for the audition tomorrow. That's great!"
Fang Wang could not help but shake his head and reproach, "You, you really are crazy! Isn't it just a rotten film? If you can't play it, then forget it. Why are you wasting yourself like this?"
Ye Ningxiao immediately objected and said, "It's not a rotten film. This movie suits me very well. I must obtain this movie. If I don't fight for it, I will regret it a lot."
Fang Wang An's face was serious as he said solemnly: "You're so sick right now, how are you going to audition tomorrow? "So, you couldn't even try. When you went to park today, you didn't even pay attention to your surroundings."
Ye Ningxiao smiled and said, "It's fine. You can audition if you're sick."
"What?" Bring sickness to audition? "You're crazy!" Fang Wang An could not help but become angry, and said unhappily: "You know, if you do an examination with an illness, you will definitely be in bad shape, and if you don't perform well, you will get a lot of points. I don't care about that. The most important thing is, if you go with an illness, can I be at ease? "
Hearing Fang Wang An's concern for her, Ye Ning Xiao felt warmth and gratitude. However, she still persisted. This was an opportunity that she had fought so hard for. Now that the director had agreed to audition and she had given up on it, she was halfway there and her efforts were in vain. She didn't want that. Thus, he said, "What's there to worry about? I know that my illness has only suffered from a slight chill and is nothing serious. You can rest assured that I will smoothly pass the audition and return safely."
Fang Wang An repeatedly refused to allow the female lead to go the next day. In the end, Fang Wang An was too lazy to argue with her. Fighting like this would only be detrimental to Ye Ning Xiao's condition, so he could only agree reluctantly. He also requested for her to properly rest at ease and not think about any other issues.
Due to his worry, Fang Wang An could only take good care of Ye Ning Xiao that night.
The next day, Ye Ning Xiao's fever subsided a little. However, she still had a low fever and went to look for the director.
Ada, worried, accompanied her.
Along the way, Ada had a worried look on her face, but Ye NingXiao appeared exceptionally happy. She chatted and laughed with Ada all the while, looking forward to the audition and expressing her views on the play. She also hoped that the audition would succeed and take part in the female lead instead of the established female lead, Solitary Spirit Smoke.
Upon thinking of how she could finally make Anlu accept her defeat wholeheartedly through this movie, Ye Ningxiao was very excited. She fidgeted around in the car as though she couldn't wait to get into the director's recording studio and begin her ingenious performance.
She seemed to have seen the director's comical look of being greatly taken aback. Seeing that the director was praising her without any explanation, she switched the female lead position to her.
In Ye Ningxiao's excitement, the car had already unknowingly arrived outside the director's recording studio.
When the car stopped, Ye Ningxiao jumped out of the car and politely asked the others if the director was in.
Those people said they weren't there. Normally, they would arrive at this time, but they didn't know why they woke up so late today. Even now, there was no sign of them.
After Ye Ningxiao thanked her, she calmed down and waited patiently. After all, everyone had their own matters to attend to and would occasionally wake up late. She had already gotten the chance to do so, so she wasn't in a hurry. She just needed to wait patiently for a while.
Unexpectedly, after a full two hours, the director still hadn't arrived. This was already past the audition time that had been agreed upon yesterday.
Could it be that the director had something to attend to today?
Waiting was indeed a bit impatient, so she could only ask those people again, "Hello, is the director busy today? Are you not coming to work?"
Those people were also unclear about what was going on, so they also puzzledly said, "If the director has anything to say, he will always tell us. He won't come, so he won't tell us and he'll definitely come. "Also, he usually comes early. I just don't know why he still hasn't come today."
"Ok, thank you!" Ye Ning Xiao thanked those people once again before continuing to wait with a peace of mind.
Ada, who was standing beside her, was already getting impatient from waiting. She said nervously, "Ning Xiao, I think that the director might really have something else to do. He won't be back today, so let's go back. We'll wait for him another day."
"It's fine. Those people have already said that he will come back. Let's wait a little longer!" Ye Ning Xiao still maintained her calm demeanor. She was not the least bit impatient or impatient.
Actually, Ada did not say it directly just now, and now she's really angry, so she said directly, "We've seen a lot of the entertainment industry's face, and the director is obviously putting on airs and not showing up on time to make you wait, this is too hateful, let's really go back, and don't wait so humbly, it's been two or three hours. I've never seen a man with such a high shelf. "
Ye Ningxiao felt dizzy from waiting, but she did not mind at all. She smiled and said calmly, "That's precisely the reason why the director saw my patience. You also know that a good play requires not only acting skills, but also an actor's mental fortitude. Furthermore, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of others. With his current status, she definitely has to put on airs for others to see. Otherwise, how would she have any face? "
It was unknown if Ye Ningxiao's words were complimenting the director or mocking him. But Ada had no choice but to wait with her.
