Chapter 31

Gu Ran returned to the dormitory, showered briefly, and ordered a takeaway.

While waiting for her food, she took out the script to skim through. The content seemed pretty good, though unfortunately the celebrity casting seemed rather low. From the director to the actors, there was almost no familiarity with the names of these people.

But it was also understandable. If they had really wanted A-Tier celebrities in this show, one of low standing such as Gu Ran would never had had the chance to even try to audition for a part in the first place.

Besides the script, Yu Xiang had also sent Gu Ran a list of the names auditioning for the roles tomorrow.

Gu Ran tried to do a background check for the female lead. This search was fine, but there were… scandals everywhere.

This young lady already had countless boyfriends despite only just debuting not long ago. There were even sources that revealed that she liked to take drugs!

Gu Ran frowned. The most important thing about acting was not only the script, but also the person they were cooperating with.

Otherwise, even if one had painstakingly managed to film their part of the show, if their counterpart was unable to put in the same due dedication, there would be no show in the end either.

Soon, the takeout arrived. Gu Ran decided to go downstairs to get it.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Ran finished eating. She packed up the takeaway box and threw it downstairs with the trash.

After returning upstairs, Gu Ran read the script again. She even took out a notebook and wrote down her understanding of the characters. Since she had nothing to do, she even gave each character a little illustration of her own.

The day passed just like that. Gu Ran went to bed very early at night. The next day, Gu Ran changed into a fetching dress and put on light makeup. She took a taxi to the set, with guidance to the location Yu Xiang had sent her.

When they arrived at the audition venue, Gu Ran almost thought that she had gone to the wrong place.

Such an unknown director and screenwriter had actually attracted more than thirty actresses to audition.

With so many actresses that Gu Ran had never seen before, she could not help but be amazed. It turned out that there were actually people with rankings even beyond that of a thrty-eighth tier celebrity such as herself..

For some reason, she felt that she was pretty awesome!

“Hey, isn’t that the… what’s her name… the one who participated in the variety show a few days ago!”

“Gu Ran? Is it Gu Ran?”

“Yes, that’s her!”

“Oh my god! Gu Ran is actually here for the audition!”

Some people actually managed to recognize Gu Ran and proceeded to whisper about her. Gu Ran held her head high and looked straight ahead as she walked to the chair in front of the corridor and sat down.

Soon, they began to call out numbers.

Suddenly, someone sat down in the chair beside her.

Gu Ran did not pay much attention to it. She imagined that it would be someone who had also come for the audition and thus continued to look down at the character biography on her phone.

“Um, are you Gu Ran?” A voice asked carefully.

Gu Ran turned around and glanced at her. She didn’t know her, but she still nodded. “I am.”

“It’s really you! I was right — I wasn’t mistaken!” The girl looked excited. “Um, I’m a fan. Can you… give me an autograph?”

Gu Ran looked at her suspiciously. Could it be that some other celebrity’s fan had deliberately set her up to fall?

Seeing Gu Ran’s unmoving facade, the excitement on the girl’s face slowly morphed into that of disappointment. “No, really! I… I really like you! Just one signature, please? Just- just sign it on my hand!”

The girl’s hand was fair and tender, and she reached out directly with no hesitation. Gu Ran frowned and hesitated again. In the end, she took a pen and wrote her name neatly on it.

“Thank you!” The girl clenched her hands in excitement, as if she had struck gold.

It was also Gu Ran’s first time signing autographs for someone. She was excited, surprised, and in a state of disbelief. She had fans now, too!
