Chapter 1187: Casting Process Part 4
The first batch of auditions already took more than half an hour.
This was even after they had shortened their acting test to 30 seconds.
"The casting process is indeed tedious, but a required procedure to ensure everything will be smooth-sailing later on." Xu Feng commented.
Once a perfect actor was cast into the drama, there would be less NG and less film wastage.
The three women also understood the logic behind it.
Still, understanding and enduring it were two different aspects.
Granted that they were only actors who had auditioned for roles before, they never thought that being in charge of the casting process would be so exhausting.
Even if they stumble across some gem, the passage of time would dull things out.
"No wonder most of the casting directors look so lifeless when I audition." Chen Kexin sighed and realized their plight now.
To the actors, it was their opportunity and chance to prove themselves.
But to the casting directors, it was just another "actor" who was auditioning.
"Well, let’s not be too disheartened." Xu Feng consoled and stood up.
"I’ll bring you coffee to help energize you." He continued and attempted to leave the premises, only to end up being blocked by Li Sheng Xuan’s long leg covered in pantyhose.
"Want to escape?" Li Sheng Xuan tilted her head and mused.
"What escape?" Xu Feng appeared confused and explained, "I’m heading out to get you some lovely coffees."
"What’s that machine over there then?" Li Sheng Xuan was unamused and pointed at the faraway table, which had a coffee machine and capsules ready to brew.
"..."
Instantly, the atmosphere turned quite awkward as Li Sheng Xuan dragged him back with her long leg.
Being shoved back to his chair, Li Sheng Xuan placed her leg close to his face, ignoring that her underwear was now exposed to him.
"If you dare to slip away, then don’t blame this lady for not showing you mercy." She smiled sweetly and said with a gentle tone.
Xu Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously. As expected of a veteran actress in modern drama. Her seductiveness and even her threat were so on point that they pushed him to the edge.
’Good thing I kept my face mask on.’ He was relieved that his expression was covered. Otherwise, his reputation and prestige would truly be gone in a puff. He might not be lustful, but who could withstand such a kind of flirtatious play?
Alas, little did Xu Feng know. He had already been exposed to his inner desire.
’Heh, it seems like no man could really resist long legs.’ Li Sheng Xuan thought to herself. Although Xu Feng had been courteous and tried his best to avoid looking, it was inevitable that he would be caught glancing occasionally.
Men...
Who could resist not looking?
"And here I was wondering why outside was swamped with so many people. So there were vixens here flirting around."
A voice echoed near the door.
Xu Feng raised an eyebrow at the familiar voice. He gently tapped on Li Sheng Xuan’s leg to signal her to put it down.
Seeing how there were unexpected intruders, she promptly fixed her posture. She didn’t care about Chen Kexin and Ding Xiao Ying’s presence when flirting, but she minded when there were strangers.
"Who are you people?" Ding Xiao Ying’s tone contained traces of hostility.
"This is the casting center and not your home. Barging in without permission is quite rude." Chen Kexin chimed in.
Being faced with a series of questions, the intruders didn’t even bat an eyelid. Instead, their gaze was shifted to the masked man.
"That’s Cool Wind." Behind them, Wei Xing introduced politely.
Indeed, this group of people was none other than Evelyn and Ling Qingxue.
Nodding, Evelyn wasn’t surprised these three vixens would do their best to seduce Cool Wind.
She approached the table and stared at Xu Feng.
"Do you like long legs or is it the pantyhose?" She asked calmly.
"..."
Xu Feng was a bit surprised by her bold question. But after seeing Wei Xiang’s gesture and mouth movement, he became speechless.
’She must be Evelyn then, the admirer of Cool Wind.’ Now, some might be crying in agony for giving off the bad impression, but not for him.
He realized this was a great opportunity to dispel Evelyn’s admiration and break free from her.
He really couldn’t afford to entangle himself for too long with someone of her stature.
Xu Feng tidied his clothes and replied, "Both of them and their appearance needed to be pleasing to the eyes as well. Is there anything wrong with it?"
His response took everyone by surprise, especially Wei Xing.
’The Honorary Elder is really gutsy.’ Out of everyone present in the room, there were 7 women out of 9 people.
To dare to confidently answer in such a bold yet honest manner, Wei Xing reckoned only their Guild Leader could possibly follow suit.
"Is this really the Cool Wind?" From afar, Huo Ninger’s eyes widened with skepticism. She found it hard to believe Cool Wind was such a shameless and lecherous man.
"Doesn’t seem to be fake." Ling Qingxue could discern that the three actresses were gazing at the masked man with appreciation and some admiration.
While the two of them were confused, the three actresses kept quiet.
’Brother Feng must want to disgust this woman.’ Chen Kexin doubted Xu Feng would suddenly behave like a scoundrel for no reason.
’This woman should be an admirer of Brother Feng... but a crazy one at that.’ Li Sheng Xuan was experienced in this aspect. She had her own fair share of crazy fans who kept chasing after her because they were mesmerized and addicted to her beauty and long legs.
’How unruly of this woman!’ Ding Xiao Ying could discern with a single glance that this newcomer was coveting Xu Feng.
As the atmosphere turned awkward with the silence, Evelyn suddenly broke into a smile.
"Of course, not. If Cool Wind enjoys seeing them, then why not book a hotel? I’ll gladly wear them for you to see." She offered.
