Chapter 206 - Blown Away By Her Beauty
The staff member could only go and tell Tang Tiantian and Mu Sheng to leave.
However, he recalled Mu Sheng's mind-blowing beauty.
Although he was just an intern for now, he had a keen eye after working in the entertainment industry for so long.
The young woman was simply gorgeous. She was so beautiful that he was dumbstruck.
The staff member felt he ought to help her considering her beauty, so he turned and said, "That girl is very pretty. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as her."
The production manager chimed in, "It's true. I'm not joking. She is super gorgeous."
"Shut up." The director glared at the production manager. "I haven't given you a piece of my mind for suggesting 18 influencers who looked exactly the same to appear on the program."
The production manager went quiet and retreated sheepishly.
After shouting at the production manager, the director glanced at the intern. Since the intern was an honest man, he trusted him more. The director waved his hand. "In that case, tell them to wait for me somewhere. I will go over now."
"Okay."
Since it was a food-themed entertainment program, there was a lot of food available on set.
The intern secretly gave Mu Sheng and Tang Tiantian two slices of cake since Mu Sheng was gorgeous.
"Thanks." Mu Sheng nodded to the intern.
The intern instantly blushed before he left the room awkwardly.
Tang Tiantian felt tickled. She scrutinized Mu Sheng's face as she said, "Sheng, why are you so pretty?"
Although Tang Tiantian was a woman as well, her heart could not help throbbing when she saw Mu Sheng's stunning looks.
The director was on his way to see Mu Sheng when someone stopped him halfway and told him an award-winning actress was here for the audition.
The director naturally chose to see the award-winning actress first.
However, the director left the room angrily 30 minutes later.
"Who does she think she is?" The director's face was crimson from fury. "I told her this entertainment program is based in the countryside, but she insisted on having full makeup on at all times and demanded more outfits. Does she think she is appearing in a beauty pageant or something? She must be dreaming."
The production manager furtively reminded the director. "Mu Sheng is still waiting for you."
The director inhaled deeply. "Okay. Lead the way. Why do problems keep arising for this season? I have had so much trouble finding guests with good talking points."
Mu Sheng and Tang Tiantian had been waiting for the director for 30 minutes, but Mu Sheng did not mind.
Mu Sheng was getting hungry, so she took the cake and started to eat it slowly.
The program certainly lived up to its name as a food theme entertainment show. This cake was light, fluffy, and tasted delectable, so Mu Sheng could not have enough of it.
The director came over angrily and got stunned the moment he opened the door and saw Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng was dressed in a white down jacket and sweater today, so it softened her cool aura.
He was blown away by her good looks just by looking at her profile. She had an utterly glacial aura and felt like the snow on the mountain tops and seemed absolutely untouchable.
He inexplicably wanted to feed her more snacks as he watched her eat unhurriedly with her cheeks bulging.
The director had produced plenty of entertainment programs in his life, so he was keenly aware of how important it was to have guests who were capable of making the audience turn their heads.
It was an especially rare quality for the artists to trigger a sense of protectiveness from the audience.
Mu Sheng certainly made the director feel this way as he watched her eat, even though Mu Sheng did not seem outwardly adorable enough to make people want to dote on her like a pet.
"Ahem." The director cleared his throat gently.
Mu Sheng raised her head as she was eating the cake. The director promptly settled on her when he saw her cool beautiful eyes.
"Mu Sheng, right? You don't have to audition. When can you sign the contract? You can sign the contract anytime. As for the payment, just get your talent agent to negotiate on your behalf."
Tang Tiantian was dumbstruck. She looked at the director in disbelief. "And you are?"
The production manager stepped forward and introduced him, "He is our director."
"Oh. I see. Hi there." Tang Tiantian still found this a little inconceivable. "Does this mean Sheng passed the audition?"
Was this real? Had the program not even said no to superstars and award-winning actresses before? Even the biggest celebrities were vying for a spot on the show.
Why did the director agree to let Mu Sheng appear on the show without even talking to her? Tang Tiantian could not help wondering if this was all a dream.
"That's right." The director nodded before turning to check the time. "I have to attend an event, so I will be making a move first. We will get in touch with you about the filming details. Thank you for coming."
The moment he finished his sentence, the director glanced at Mu Sheng happily before walking away slowly.
He had such a hard time finding the perfect female artist for this season, but he unexpectedly dug up such a treasure from the gutter.
The good news came so unexpectedly that Tang Tiantian had trouble calming down. "Sheng, we got a spot on the show! This is brilliant!"
Tang Tiantian could not resist running over to embrace Mu Sheng. "Let's go. Now we can openly demand a treat from the boss!"
Meanwhile, a problem suddenly emerged in the director's head as he walked off happily.
He liked Mu Sheng a lot, but he had yet to find the perfect male artist.
Superstars were out of the question.
After all, Mu Sheng was still a minor celebrity, and it would spell trouble for him to pair her with even a small-time actor.
Since he was in the entertainment business, he knew how protective the fans could get.
He could already imagine the show getting boycotted before filming even commenced.
The director felt it was safer to pair Mu Sheng with a well-known male guest who wasn't as popular.
Also, the male guest had to be tall, handsome, and dignified.
The director felt a headache coming on.
It was such a headache for him to find the right guy.
The director went for the event sadly before he went home. He had spent the entire day thinking hard, but he was unable to come up with anyone.
Shortly after opening the door, he saw his daughter lying on the couch playing with her phone. "Duoduo, why are you playing with your phone again? Have you done your homework?"
The young girl on the couch trembled, so her phone fell on the ground. The girl stuck her tongue out. "Dad, did you have to scare me again?"
"I told you to stop playing with your phone," nagged the director as he picked up the phone.
He inadvertently glanced at the screen and saw the picture on it.
It was a picture of a man dressed in a black coat making payment at a cashier. His cool aura made him as good-looking as a comic book character. The director could not help feeling impressed.
He knew that his daughter loved chasing other idols. Why had he never heard of someone like this guy in the entertainment industry?
The director swiped through social media and realized the man had become an online sensation thanks to his good looks. However, he did not work in the entertainment business.
The director felt he must be in luck.
Was he not the perfect guy for his show?
He forgot about reprimanding his daughter for spending too much time playing with the phone. Instead, he went back to his room and asked all his friends about the man in the picture.
At around 9:00 pm, one of his friends in high society finally told him who the man was. The director spent a pretty penny before he finally obtained Li Hanchen's contact number.
"Hello." A husky voice came from over the phone. The director promptly felt all the girls would swoon the moment they heard his sexy voice.
"Hi there…" The director introduced himself and told Li Hanchen why he was calling.
Since Li Hanchen did not follow the entertainment industry, he was not interested in joining the show, so he quickly rejected the director and wanted to hang up.
The director could only give up since Li Hanchen was not interested in appearing on the program. Before Li Hanchen was about to hang up the phone, he instinctively asked, "Who is the female artist?"
Mu Sheng briefly mentioned she was appearing in an entertainment program over dinner. What if it was the same program? He was busy removing fishbone for Mu Sheng, so he forgot to ask exactly what program it was.
The director replied candidly, "You might not know her since she is a small-time actress. Her name is Mu Sheng. However…"
Before the director finished his sentence, Li Hanchen interrupted him, "Okay. I will do it. Before the filming commences, please keep my appearance a secret."
The director was beside himself with joy, so he quickly nodded happily. He had managed to find two important guests for the program in the short span of a day, so he was happy to agree to Li Hanchen's requests. "Don't worry. In that case, just swing by to sign the contract whenever you are free."
"Okay."
——
Since Mu Sheng did not hide it when she visited the production team, a lot of people saw her there.
"A Journey Through Food" was the most popular online entertainment program, so a lot of people followed its news.
Word got out that Mu Sheng went to audition for "A Journey Through Food".
[Are you for real? Is Mu Sheng joking? She is just a third-rate actress. Who does she think she is?]
[I agree that Mu Sheng is really pretty, but this is an entertainment program, so its guests have to be interesting. Mu Sheng is just a block of ice. What could she possibly do on the program? Is she going to stand around and do nothing?]
[This must be fake news. "Journey Through Food" can't possibly be so low that they would hire a minor actress like Mu Sheng. I heard Ruan Yingying is going to join the show. This is insider information. I heard she is appearing with Qiao Siyu.]
Meanwhile, Ruan Yingying stood in front of Qiao Siyu shyly at the drama filming set. "Siyu, are you going to join the program?"
Qiao Siyu frowned when Ruan Yingying called him by his first name. "I was planning to."
A smile emerged on Ruan Yingying's face. "Then can you…"
"I found out you were going, so I said no."
