Chapter 744: Sheng Tang Reaps All the Benefits
After chatting with Ke Fei, Sheng Tang opened several scripts he had sent over, all with invitations for her to audition for the female lead.
Among them, one script stood out by inviting her to audition for the third female role.
Sheng Tang looked at the project and discovered the director was Han Haoming.
Han Haoming was undoubtedly the most prestigious director in this world, comparable to Director Zhang in Sheng Tang’s world. His background and box office appeal were highly reliable.
Sheng Tang was quite surprised that he invited her to an audition.
However, the third female role only had about five or six minutes of screen time.
Sheng Tang was no longer young and didn’t want to play a minor role in Han Haoming’s film.
If she succeeded in "Career Who’s Afraid Who?" and Director Han invited her to audition for the female lead, she would definitely go eagerly.
Sheng Tang really wanted to work with Director Han Haoming, but not in a way that devalues herself.
She needed to make good use of her advantages now.
She started as a film actress, and her starting point was much higher than many TV stars. She needed to respect herself for the market to recognize her.
Of course, missing the opportunity to work with Director Han was a bit regrettable for Sheng Tang.
She sighed and reluctantly put the script aside.
Unbeknownst to her, Ping Mo was furious at that moment.
Ping Mo was the female lead in "Invincible Life" and should have gained attention. However, due to her haters causing trouble, she became the victim without stirring public opinion.
Ping Mo didn’t benefit from this situation at all.
To make matters worse, "Invincible Life" was a profitable commercial film, not a loss. She should have received more contracts.
Unexpectedly, market research mentioned nothing about her and only talked about Sheng Tang’s role as Xuanxuan.
"...Have you heard? Director Han Haoming’s new project is set to start filming in October, and he has sent out an audition invitation to Sheng Tang," Ping Mo’s agent enthusiastically told her. "He’ll definitely send one to us too; the role will probably be better than Sheng Tang’s."
However, after waiting for a few days, they found out that the auditions for Director Han’s new film had already started, and Ping Mo hadn’t received an invitation at all.
From the same film crew, Director Han only had an eye on Sheng Tang.
Ping Mo was literally about to explode.
"That bitch, stepping on me to climb up!" Ping Mo cursed furiously.
Her agent felt a chill in her heart, thinking Ping Mo was too ungrateful.
Sheng Tang had selflessly placed herself in harm’s way to protect Ping Mo’s face from being ruined at a critical moment.
Instead of feeling grateful, Ping Mo cursed Sheng Tang over an audition opportunity.
Ping Mo was thirty-one years old this year, and no amount of good skin care could match Sheng Tang’s youth. Their opportunities were inherently unequal.
Moreover, Sheng Tang was a rare beauty, while Ping Mo had a common appearance. Their acting paths were different too; it was very normal for Director Han to invite Sheng Tang but not Ping Mo.
Yet Ping Mo insulted Sheng Tang over this.
Her agent stayed silent.
Ping Mo was livid, but had no choice but to accept it. "Invincible Life" and the trouble caused by her haters allowed Sheng Tang to reap all the benefits.
If Ping Mo knew that Sheng Tang had turned down Director Han’s audition invitation, she might be even angrier. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
At home, Sheng Tang sneezed several times, muttering to herself, "Who is cursing me again?"
She had been quite popular recently, quickly rising as one of the new stars; it was normal for people to be badmouthing her.
That evening, Gu Jiahui returned home and handed Sheng Tang a bank card.
Sheng Tang took the bank card, bewildered, "What’s this?"
