The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 145's

Thinking back about the conversation she heard earlier, Xia Ling felt uneasy – what about the artist Jin Yifei who judged during the audition?

Looking at his expression, Li Lei asked, "Xiao Ling, is there another problem?"

Xia Ling hesitated before shaking her head. After getting to know Li Lei all this time, he realized how Li Lei was as a person; he was usually kind, but when he was angry, it was difficult for anyone to deal with him. Just that day he caused a security officer to be fired for minor issues. If he did something to Jin Yifei just because of his insecurity or doubt, it would be a disaster.

Zheng Desong said, "Miss Ye, don't worry, with our members involved in this audition, we will definitely give a fair result. After all, ”He looked at her meaningfully. “Jin Yifei sometimes looks seductive and out of control, but he is obviously a serious person at work because he is doing very well in the industry now. ”

His words made Xia Ling feel at ease.

But Li Lei was drowning in the words "seductive and unrestrained" and would not let him go. "Xiao Ling," He stood up from the sturdy sofa. “I'll go with you. ”

Xia Ling would agree when her phone rang.

He looked at her and furrowed his brows.

He wasn't sure what the call was, but he didn't want to interfere. "You should have done it. I'll go alone, it's okay. ”

Reading the situation, Zheng Desong also stood up. "I'll drop Miss Ye off. ”

With Zheng Desong's accompaniment, Li Lei was more relieved and decided not to insist. “Xiao Ling, be careful. ”

Xia Ling nodded and followed Zheng Desong to the audition set.

The set is not big. In the center was a temporary wooden stage, and under the floodlights and cameras, a girl dressed in red danced on the stage, her movements dazzling and elegant, like dancing flames.

Xia Ling was determined at first glance that this girl's dance technique was far from comparable to hers.

Zheng Desong led many of his employees and filmmaking equipment before finally arriving on the side of the stage.

He looked at the deck chair there, and lying on it with one leg resting casually was a man in a flower suit, and a Vacheron Constantin watch was on his left wrist. He did not see them enter and excitedly spoke to the man on the bench beside him. "The one in red wasn't too bad, but the foundation wasn't strong enough. His toes were not pointing properly, he needed a great effort to do the bridge, and when he did that rotating movement, even I felt bad for his bones … With someone like that, even playing with him in bed would not be thrilling. ”

He did not lower his volume – maybe it was not heard from the stage, but to Xia Ling, he heard it clearly like daylight.

Zheng Desong looked uncomfortable and coughed loudly.

The man in the deck chair turned around and looked surprised to see them. "Brother Zheng, why are you here? Are you looking for me? ”He spoke while rising from his seat smiling. "This is…?"

"You are Xingling," Xia Ling replied.

Up close, the man was rather handsome with big and bright eyes. At that moment, he used those eyes to measure it, and the way he looked at it was practically .. Peeling his clothes off layer by layer.

Xia Ling felt disgusted and took two steps back.

He emphasized the words “honorable guests. ”

The man got a slight surprise before smiling. "Alright, alright ..Miss Ye, you are truly someone, even Brother Zheng who did not involve himself in choosing the players thinks you are very high. "He looked more serious now and offered his hand. “I'm Jin Yifei, Director of 'War and Death. “I heard assistant director Lin Yuanyi mention you earlier. Welcome to the audition. ”

Lin Yuanyi was recently busy, and while she mentioned to Jin Yifei how good Xia Ling was at dancing, she was very busy, he completely forgot to mention his relationship with Li Lei – everyone had seen the way Li Lei protected Xia Ling at the cocktail reception. If Jin Yifei knew about it, he would not have dared to size Xia Ling before.

Xia Ling shook her hand lightly.

At this point, the woman in red had finished her part and had left the stage. The employees cleared the stage and gestured to Jin Yifei, asking if they could proceed to the next audition.

Jin Yifei looked towards Xia Ling with a smile. "Miss Ye, are you ready? Set is ready for you. ”

He nodded and walked.

I don't want her hearing to be perfect. He could clearly hear the gentle whisper between Jin Yifei and Zheng Desong –

"Hey, Brother Zheng, what is Ye Xingling's background? Isn't he just a new artist from Skyart? Why did you have to go down with him? ”

"He's got his support, you better be careful. Put aside your flirtatious ways and don't make trouble. ”

"Support!" Jin Yifei sounded shocked. "Is she someone's mistress? That's not true ... his appearance is just average, what financial support can he have that is better than me? Brother Zheng, who exactly is he? ”

"Not too loud!" Zheng Desong became annoyed. “Stop creating problems. After all, it is someone you are incapable of provoking. ”

As they spoke, Xia Ling walked to the center of the stage. More and more light began to gather at him, and the intensity of the rays cleared away all the disturbances in his ears and mind. He could no longer hear what they were saying as he stood steadily in the middle, and there was nothing left in his heart except dance.

Instrumental starts a beautiful classical Chinese melody.

He was familiar with this melody. Before the audition, the production team had sent them this work. All the artists auditioning for the role had to choreograph their dances according to this music, which would be the dances that the characters would perform during the palace celebration party.

He has been practicing diligently.

When he started moving, his body stretched out, and a small sword appeared in his hand. He is now a charming figure.

The dance she choreographed was very difficult, with challenging movements following one after another; split-jumps followed by quick turns right after landing, the movement mirages were seamlessly put together … it wasn't his choice to show off all his steps, but wasn't the production team asking for all these challenging moves? To make this movement more elegant and flow smoothly, and to attract the attention of a better audience, he decided to add more challenging steps than needed. He recalled the first time he practiced the entire passage and how his body was in knots after just one round of practice.

But the effect is amazing.

His swift action with the sword, along with the peony in his mouth – is still fresh and fragrant with dewdrops – has brought him back to thousands of years ago at the location of the palace feast. He imagined himself appearing before his empress, emperor, and concubines, and in a split second, did a curved back and began to do round after round.
