President Mo: Need to Work Hard

420

That night, after Mo Ting arrived home, Tangning dragged him to the gym and forced him to help her train for 4 hours.

But, in the middle of the night as Tangning slept, Mo Ting noticed her body was covered in bruises even though he was trying his hardest to hide it.

So, the Almighty President did not mind getting out of bed in the middle of the night to look for an ointment for his wife.

For the sake of roughly 2 hours on screen, the actors actually sacrificed themselves... After helping her apply the ointment to her bruises, Mo Ting's heart ached. But, she also realized that this was the real Tangning; a woman made of flesh and bone; a woman who did everything she could to achieve her goal.

Next morning. Tangning received a phone call from Long Jie.

"Surprisingly, everyone was told to come at 2pm. Why did they tell you 3? Is it possible to audition for the female lead at different times?"

As soon as Tangning received this information, a cold look appeared in her eyes. He then replied, "Thank you, I know what to do."

"Tangning, could it be that someone is planning behind the scenes?"

"I'm not sure, but I definitely have to be careful," Tangning replied gently. "Don't worry, I can handle little things like this."

"I'm not worried about you. I'm more worried about the people who want to fight you." After speaking, Long Jie hung up the phone. These days, he is no longer a manager. Instead, he spent his time as Fang Yu's assistant. Soon he will be judged on his progress, but in reality, he is more focused on preparing children.

Tangning hung up her phone and then called Song Yanshu, "I'll get ready. Come get me to audition now."

"So early?" Song Yanshu asked.

"Yes," Tangning nodded, "There's a change ..."

To quickly adapt to whatever was thrown at her, Tangning decided to stay around the audition ...

...

13:30am. Those who were informed of the audition slowly walked into the venue. Among them was Gu Heng. He seemed confident that the role would be his.

Domestically, she is one of the few actresses with a martial arts background. In fact, each punch was smooth and full of strength. So, most action movies will consider it first because of its experience.

Tangning was also among these hundreds of people. She was wearing a plain t-shirt and a black hat, sitting on the chair as usual, reading her script with her legs tucked under her chair. As a result, everyone ignored that this low-profile woman sitting quietly on one side was actually Tangning, the woman who attracted attention no matter where she went.

Auditions were held at the Beijing Academy of Performing Arts; this was Wei An's alma mater. Hundreds of people were currently inside one of the spacious classrooms as they waited to be called in for their auditions.

Due to time constraints, once one heard his name, they would enter the audition room as quickly as possible. Among these candidates, many came out as fast as they entered, but many also managed to reach 10 minutes.

"Hey, I think Tangning will be here at the audition as well, why don't I still see her?" someone started gossiping to ease the tension in the room.

In fact, most of the people in the room came from strong backgrounds or had a lot of experience. After all, a famous film director cannot be audited by just anyone.

"He hasn't shown up yet ..." Wei An's assistant also informed Wei An at this time.

Wei An nodded his head, "Make sure to keep the matter a secret. When it was Tangning's turn, call her name as usual."

"Understood."

Elder Mo was also sitting in the audition room at the moment. However, he was watching from a hidden place.

"Just because he was told that it was 3pm, did he accept it without question? Does he not know how to use his brain?" Elder Mo was a little disappointed that Tangning had yet to appear.

A while later, Gu Heng walked into the audition room with her assistant. Rumors claimed that all the judges nodded in satisfaction and almost gave the role to her, right on the spot. Even though they didn't say it, it was clear they had already made a decision. But, they still insisted on watching all the auditions until the end.

"Director Wei, it's Tangning's turn."

"Call him ..." Wei An instructed with his head bowed, it didn't matter because he didn't come. He did what the old man asked.

However, when the assistant came out and called out the name of the person they thought did not come, a woman wearing a hat suddenly stood up. Just looking at his height, there was no doubt who he was.

Most surprisingly, no one noticed he had been there all along...

Including Wei An's assistant.

Seeing Tangning appear in front of him, he was stunned. How did he explain this situation to the director? Above all, didn't he tell her to come by at 3pm? Why is he here on time?

Trying hard to contain her awkwardness, the assistant took Tangning into the audition room. At this moment, Wei An was still staring at Tangning's portfolio. As he lifted his head and looked at Tangning, he could only furrow his brows...

"Hello judge, I'm Tangning," Tangning removed her hat, revealing a head of short black hair ...

Short hair!

That's right, he's wearing a wig. This is because the female fighter in the film has a tough appearance. Most surprisingly, Tangning also wore torn jeans, white shoes, and a baseball jersey.

"This ..." Among the 4 judges, other than Wei An, the other 3 looked at him in surprise.

With her clothes and appearance, Tangning had practically turned into a female lead. They realized, the rumors about Tangning being good at understanding movies were true.

Meanwhile, sitting in a corner, Elder Mo almost jumped out of his chair and cheered. This young lady is really interesting.

He found it very interesting because he was sure he saw a trace of disappointment in Wei An's eyes...

But, deep down, Wei An had already made the assumption that Tangning could only act in a speaking role. So, even though she was on time, she did not think she would pass the audition. And even if he passed the audition, he would definitely find another reason to eliminate him and choose Gu Heng instead. At least he was happy with Gu Heng in all aspects.

"You can start ..."

"I have one request," Tanging said as she looked towards the judging panel, "I want to ask Director Wei to cast this scene with me. Is that possible?"

Everyone was speechless. They never expected Tangning to be so brave. Of all the people he could choose, he actually asked Wei An!?

Wei An also seemed interested. He leaned back in his chair and placed his pen on the table, "Sure, what do you want me to do?"

Tangning came prepared as she handed over the fake gun, "In 'The Lost Relative', there was a scene where the female and male lead were both trapped inside the cave. In that scene ..."

In that scene, the male lead held several people hostage while trapped in a cave with the female lead. As per the script, the male lead had one foot behind one of the hostages, while pointing his gun at the head of another. Meanwhile, the female lead faced him while sitting on a nearby rock.

It was a talking scene ...

But, a little action towards the end was the culmination of that scene. The female lead had to pounce and try to snatch the gun from the male lead...

Wei An never expected Tangning to choose this scene.

But, it didn't matter, as he also didn't expect her to portray it well ...
