Chapter 132 - Li Yan Said, “You Look Ugly in This”
Chapter 132: Li Yan Said, “You Look Ugly in This”
Inabel looked at her with those sincere green eyes.
Chu Luo thought: ‘Such a pure color, but she doesn’t have a good heart.’
At the thought of this, the corners of her lips curled up. Just as she was about to agree, her phone suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw that it was from Li Yan.
Chu Luo swiped the answer button and placed it by her ear. She heard Li Yan’s unique cold voice on the other end. “Where are you?”
Chu Luo replied, “I’m on the 28th floor.”
Li Yan asked after a few seconds, “You want to go for the audition?”
Chu Luo replied, “No, I just came to watch the show.”
Li Yan responded with an “Mm” and said, “I’ll wait for you upstairs.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo put away her phone and stood up to leave.
“Chu, are you really not going to go for the audition?” Inabel looked at her and smiled in her heart. She even tried to persuade Chu Luo sincerely, “It’s a pity for you to miss such a good opportunity to audition. Are you really not going to consider it?”
Seeing that Chu Luo was about to leave, Angus immediately panicked. He had already auditioned more than a hundred people, and none of them gave him the vibes he wanted. Now that he had finally met someone with the same character and disposition as the character in his heart, he definitely wouldn’t let her slip by.
“You can’t leave!”
As Angus roared, he walked up to Chu Luo to block her. He waved his hands excitedly as he said, “Beautiful lady, there aren’t many scenes for the role you’re auditioning for, and it won’t take up too much of your time. As long as you agree to the audition…”
Chu Luo interrupted him unhappily. “Can’t you just let me play that role?”
“How is that possible!” Angus raised his voice and lowered it abruptly. He said, “It depends on your performance in front of the camera. If you can pass the audition, I will immediately arrange for professionals to train you.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered. “How much can you pay me for this role?”
“Uh…”
It was not only Angus who was so stunned that he forgot to answer Chu Luo’s question. The others were also dumbfounded.
“Chu.” Inabel quickly said to Chu Luo in a low voice, “The ‘Battle of Lightyears’ movie is an adaptation of the most popular game this year. It’s also the biggest production this year. As long as we can play one of the roles, it will be our greatest honor. Don’t question Director Angus like that.”
“Oh? Then how should I question him?”
“Why don’t you try auditioning for it first? The audition won’t take long. If you really don’t like it, Mr. Angus won’t have anything to say about it.”
Chu Luo looked at her extremely sincere expression and wondered if everyone in the entertainment circle were like this, whether they could be so insincere in their words so naturally like her.
However, her interest in acting had been aroused, so she pretended to consider it for a while and nodded.
Angus was so happy to see Chu Luo agree that he quickly led her to the audition room.
As soon as the door was closed, Inabel suddenly lowered her eyes to conceal the calculation and disdain in them.
Someone whispered beside her.
“I don’t think she’s trained in acting. Do you think Director Angus would choose her?”
“Do you think that’s possible? The promotion for the movie adaptation of ‘Battle of Lightyears’ started last year. It has been rated by netizens as the most anticipated movie this year. If Director Angus were to use a newcomer who knows nothing, do you think the other directors would agree?”
“Of course not. That’s why our chances are still very high.”
At this, Inabel suddenly laughed silently.
At this moment, Bella’s voice came from beside her. “Inabel, you’re really good at playing tricks.”
A startled expression appeared on Inabel’s face as she turned to look at her. “Bella, what are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about? You probably changed one of my scripts yesterday. Also, you know that the person who just entered doesn’t know anything, but you tried your best to persuade her. Wasn’t it so you could leave a good impression on Mr. Angus?”
“Bella, please don’t spout nonsense. I just want Chu to not miss such a good opportunity.”
While the two of them were talking, the others had already turned to look at them. Upon hearing Inabel’s words, all of them looked at Bella.
Bella shrugged and remained silent.
In the audition room.
When Chu Luo was brought to the audition room, there was a 3D projection of a sea of stars across half of the room. Opposite the projection was a table and a chair.
Angus asked his assistant and the others standing in the room to prepare, and he said to Chu Luo, “The scene you’re going to audition with is one where the Goddess of War, Hilda, has just experienced an interstellar war. There won’t be any lines. You just need to hold a sword in your hand and look down at the sea of stars, releasing all your aura.”
After saying that, Angus quickly got someone to take Chu Luo to change her clothes.
Chu Luo was brought to the changing room at the side. Unexpectedly, the production team had made ample preparations, and all the clothes inside were all in the style of the characters in “Battle of Lightyears.”
How should one describe the costumes in the game?
“How can I wear that in public when it’s so revealing?”
After changing her clothes, Chu Luo lowered her head and looked at herself.
Large patches of her skin were exposed, and there were also red silk ribbons tied on her slender ankles and wrists. This red silk ribbon was the weapon of the Goddess of War, Hilda, in the game. But the red color formed a striking contrast to her fair wrists and ankles.
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the changing room.
“Miss Chu, are you done changing?” a staff member said, urging her along.
Chu Luo thought for a while, pulled off a black cloak at the side, and put it on before walking out.
She wasn’t wearing any shoes and didn’t make a sound as she walked on the ground.
The staff standing by the door wanted to knock again, but the door opened.
When he saw Chu Luo standing there, he was stunned on the spot. At the same time, blood spurted from his nose.
Chu Luo’s gaze turned sharp, and the aura on her body surged. It shocked the person back to reality, and his first thought was to escape. However, he was too frantic, and his left leg tripped over his right leg, causing him to fall backward.
“Ouch~~”
“What’s going on?”
The commotion caused by this person’s fall was too great, and it immediately attracted the attention of several others.
When everyone saw Chu Luo standing by the door, their breathing stopped.
At this moment, Chu Luo, who was wearing that gaming attire, was extremely compatible with that character. Everyone suddenly wanted to see how charming she would be after she took off her cloak.
However, when Chu Luo unleashed her powerful aura, she was the Goddess of War in their hearts again. She was high up in the air, cold and domineering. Before her, all things were insignificant.
It was as if taking an extra glance at her was a sin.
The two sensations suppressed them so much that they forgot to react.
Chu Luo glanced at the group and walked towards the 3D projection.
Her steps weren’t big, but every step she took carried a powerful aura. Her cloak moved though there was no wind, and the red ribbons on her wrists and ankles also fluttered, making people want to drop to the ground to worship her.
When Chu Luo reached the middle of the 3D projection, she said, “Sword.”
The word was like a start button, immediately snapping everyone back to reality.
Angus hurriedly shouted, “Quick, bring the sword to Hilda.”
A staff member hurriedly ran over to retrieve a long sword.
Seeing this, Angus stopped him. “Forget it. I’ll bring it over myself.”
With that, he took the sword from the staff member’s hand and walked towards Chu Luo.
But at this moment, there was a click and all the lights in the room went out.
“What’s going on?” Angus bellowed behind him.
“Who turned off the lights!”
“I’ll go out and take a look immediately.”
One of them hurriedly ran towards the door while the others took out their phones to illuminate the area.
The person who had run to the door had just touched the handle when the door was pushed open from the outside.
The person let out a yelp when the door hit him.
“What’s going on?”
Angus was extremely irritated by that person’s startled reaction. He wished he could start shooting immediately. He felt that even delaying it by a second was a waste of time.
“Dir, Dir…” When that person saw who it was outside the door, he was rendered speechless.
Chu Luo raised her wrist in boredom and waved the red silk ribbon around. She didn’t need to think to know that someone had deliberately turned off the power.
As for who had deliberately turned off the lights at this time, she didn’t care.
At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair rolling came from the door. Then, a cold voice sounded. “All of you, get out.”
Angus, who was still fuming, immediately retreated.
When only the two of them were left in the room, all the lights came back on.
Chu Luo stood in the space surrounded by stars and looked at the man who stood up from the wheelchair and walked over. She frowned and asked, “Did you order for the lights to be turned off?”
Li Yan was wearing a custom-made black suit today. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Coupled with the cold aura emanating from his body and his dark expression, he looked rather intimidating.
Seeing that he didn’t answer while also looking like this, Chu Luo guessed, “Did someone offend you again?”
Li Yan still didn’t answer. He stood in front of her and looked down at her attire. When he saw her dazzling skin, he immediately frowned and said in a low voice, “Ugly.”
“What?”
“You look ugly in this.”
“…”
Chu Luo looked at him with a tense face. This person actually said that she was ugly. It was unforgivable.
“Change out of it.”
“No. I think this outfit looks pretty good.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she deliberately waved the red silk ribbons on her wrist in front of his eyes. “Look, this costume is very similar to the one in ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”
The red silk ribbon fluttered against Li Yan’s face and his nose was filled with the unique fragrance emanating from her.
Li Yan’s gaze darkened and he grabbed her wrist.
Chu Luo was startled. “What are you doing?”
Li Yan looked down at her sparkling eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, “The Goddess of War, Hilda, doesn’t have a cloak. Since you want to look like the character in the game, you’ll have to do so thoroughly.”
After saying that, his hand quickly reached for the belt of her cloak.
