Chapter 81 - Love You ("Mu Jungkook, you are
spellbound by these two foxes!") (2)

And now she has to feign delicate when she was
posting on Weibo and called out Jiang Taehyung
specifically? What was up with that?

Xu Lisa clicked into Jiang Taehyung's Weibo through
that comment and noticed that Jiang Taehyung did notrespond to her at all nor did it look like he intended to.

What was with these two?

As Xu Lisa was mulling over it, her cellphone rang
and it was Xiao Rose.

"Hi, Lisa-jie, guess what just happened?" Xiao Rose's voice quivered a little, like she couldn't control
her excitement - what good news did she have?

Xu Lisa's mood was affected by Xiao Rose and
she was starting to get excited as well. "What is it?"

"Jen-jie just gave me a call and told me that
Director Jiang sent over an invitation for you to
attend the audition of his new movie 'Plainness!!"

"Director Jiang? Which Director Jiang?" Xu Lisa
paused for a second then slowly asked out loud what she was thinking, "Do you mean Jiang ChenXi?"

"Yes! That Jiang ChenXi! killer of film festivals and
hoarder of all big awards, that one!"

Xu Lisa felt that a firework had lit up above her
head with a loud "BANG!"

It has been a while since she had seen a script that
she liked, never would she have quessed that after
staying dormant for a few days, a script had fallen
from the sky and smacked her right on her head.

"''Plainness' is also a period drama, focusing mainly
on families. Words had it that Director Jiang
invited you to the audition because he had seen
your performance in Blossoming Us'. It's just the
role of a female supporting character, but still...
congratulations, Lisa-jie!"

After Xu Lisa hung up the phone, she started
looking through the information on Jiang ChenXi's
'Plainness' sent over by Xiao Rose. The script was not very thick, but screenwriter's ability was undeniable.

The screenwriter of 'Blossoming Us' had already
done a good job at combining emotions with the
change of eras but this screenwriter of 'Plainness'
did an even better job. Just a few simple words were sufficient to wheel someone in from the beginning and keep someone's attention to the very end.

This script was everything that Xu Lisa wanted
a script to be. She looked at the audition information
and filming time and that's when she realized that the timing of 'Plainness' and 'Blossoming Us' overlapped perfectly.

Meaning that she'd have to make a decision between
the web show and the movie.

Problem was, 'Plainness' was just an audition
invitation to her. There were other competitors.

Participating in the audition did not mean she'd
definitely get the role. And, even if she did, it was
just the role of a supporting character. There were
also a lot of unforeseeable factors when it came to
a movie. With some editing, she may not have very
much face time left as a supporting character.

As far as 'Blossoming Us' was concerned, it would
be a new beginning for her. With the exception
that some of the actors were still up in the air, the
production team would be the same team as before.

And her, as the best selling point, would play a very
big role in the show.

For someone else, perhaps they'd go with 'Plainness' without much hesitation. But, after giving it more thought, it wasn't an easy decision to make.

After finishing reading the information from Xiao Rose, Xu Lisa went back onto Weibo to read more
about online commentaries on 'Plainness'. She read a
few different articles before she realized that the
male lead had more or less been decided to be Jiang Taehyung. And many sources revealed online that
those who'd be auditioning for the roles of female
lead and female supporting characters included
many film empresses, first tier actresses, and also
the one who had been very active in front of her
recently - Chen Minyoung.

This time, Film empress Chen would be auditioning
for the role of female lead. In addition, her fans had already spoken up for her that she was the best candidate for the role and that she'd come out of her funk and shine.

Xu Lisa chuckled when she read that. The news
of her being invited to the audition hasn't gotten out
yet, otherwise, the Chen's braindead fans would be
stepping on her to make their idol look good again.

That being said, Xu Lisa started to get an idea about
it Chen Minyoung, as a 30-something senior, suddenly paid attention to AiAi Fox's Weibo and @Jiang Taehyung to butter up to him. That was a tell-tale sign that Jiang Taehyung was most likely going to be the male lead in the movie and have a certain amount of input on who'd play the role of the female lead. That was why Chen Minyoung was eager to butter up to him.

Xu Lisa stared at the computer screen, her chin on her palm. After half a second, she finally decided on choosing 'Plainness'.
