Do you need to contact your family, or have a lawyer accompany you to sign the contract?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl asked in disbelief, \"I... I was chosen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, this role is a great fit for you. After the contract is signed, we at Tianwen will arrange some classes for you. Is that acceptable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I can!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin nodded and said to Xie An’an beside her, \"An’an, take her back to the Tianwen office to sign the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrange for her to take classes with Master Yan until filming begins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Xie An’an stood up and smiled at the girl. \"Miss, please come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl quickly bowed to the judging panel before following her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to come in was number 35.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeating the same instructions they had given the previous female contestant, everyone waited quietly for him to choose a character to audition for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ended up choosing the role of Wang Anxu from the *Painted Skin* segment of *Strange Tales*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Qin quickly rejected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He failed to portray the sinister viciousness of Wang Anxu’s \"refined scoundrel\" persona. His look didn’t fit any of the roles, and his acting was formulaic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rejected male left, his spirits low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens more people came in after that, most of whom were there for Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these lovely fans took up some time, she gently thanked them for their support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also sincerely suggested they try their luck finding work as extras at the film studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fans weren’t upset. They hadn’t really come to be extras anyway; they just wanted to see Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it turned out they had a knack for acting, that would just be a bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other staff members helping with the auditions didn’t have any major complaints about their increased workload either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jiang Qin had told them before they started that this open casting call would certainly attract many people with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no rush to start filming, so the casting process was expected to last for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company would be paying them an extra bonus for their trouble when it was all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that understanding, they didn’t mind the delays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Work was work, whether it was in the office or here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was inevitable that some frustration would build up over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one dared to show it openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were still many people waiting in line outside, Jiang Qin and her team didn’t take a lunch break. Instead, they drank some nutrient liquid and continued with the auditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent about ten-odd minutes on each person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao walked in with his hands in his pockets. His indifferent gaze seemed to hold everything in contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Can someone please tell me why the Third Prince of the Empire is trying to become an actor!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this line of work really that appealing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... Third Prince, are you in the wrong place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I’m here to audition. Didn’t you say anyone could come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No restrictions on gender, age, education, profession, or nationality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin: ’I did say that, but...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, she could only say, \"In that case, take a look at the script. Pick a character you want to play and do a screen test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm,\" Long Hao said, casually walking to the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiped through the character profiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he pointed a casual finger at Kuang Tianyou’s name. \"This one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin, who had just been prepared to go through the motions with the Prince, was stunned to find... Long Hao could actually act!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the scene where Kuang Tianyou transforms into a vampire and fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had no idea what a vampire was, he managed to perfectly capture the feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, or maybe he was just being himself.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of savagery often flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard that for Beastmen with Dragon Clan Genes, once their Riot Value rose to a certain level, their tempers would gradually grow more volatile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why, for so many years, succession in the Empire’s Imperial Family had almost always passed to a female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although males also had the right of succession, most males with Dragon Clan Genes would become uncontrollably frenzied once their tempers reached a critical point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that happened, the citizens of the Empire would vote en masse to have him removed from the line of succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why the Empire’s netizens had such a strong negative opinion of Long Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already showing signs of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that he would become frenzied long before the Empress abdicated, so his claim to the throne was already doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Jiang Qin the most was his ability to portray Kuang Tianyou’s righteous-despite-being-evil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, Long Hao seemed more like a major villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If this were a later season of *My Date with a Vampire*, I’d think Long Hao would be a better fit for the role of Jiang Chen.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuang Tianyou, on the other hand, was originally a warrior who fought in the war of resistance. So even though he was a vampire, his nature was one of righteousness tinged with evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two characters had completely opposite auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, they seemed to be two sides of the same coin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao had a dark personality, but he, too, had a background as a proper warrior in the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had fought in many battles and earned numerous military honors, only to be temporarily discharged from the army due to the struggles between the heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for him to play a character who seemed a bit evil but was actually righteous, there was no sense of dissonance at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I pass?\" Long Hao asked, a smirk playing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t answer directly. \"Go home and wait for our notice. A staff member will contact you within three business days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When you can’t decide, that’s the right thing to say.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no one more suitable than Long Hao showed up, she would contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone better did, she would pass on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t seem like someone who would take acting seriously. If something went wrong midway through filming, all their effort would be for naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao didn’t press her, agreeing easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I’ll wait for your news at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right. I live in the villa two houses down to the right of Miss Jiang Qing’s place. You can come find me at home to discuss it, too. You’re welcome anytime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao let out a low chuckle. \"Well then, see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he’d said, he didn’t linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Jiang Qin, who for a moment had thought he was there for her, feel that she might have been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe he really does like acting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, he’s already done a variety show. Perhaps because his chances of inheriting the Empire’s throne are nil, he’s decided he wants to enter the entertainment industry instead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of that was her business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Composing herself, she spoke softly into the microphone, \"Could we have number 73, please...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","e80fd26f26c23e64b978181824345346d71a7a1878c8602293ee0c4de7bc6ded","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-256","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-254",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
