Xia Yao Xing stood in front of the judges, greeted them and said, "Good afternoon everyone. I'm Xia Yao Xing."
She looked at everyone with elegant and respectful gaze.
There are in total Five judges, 2 Producers , the Screen writer, the Director of the film and a man she doesn't know. He looked elegant. He gave off a very pleasant vibe, even though he was totally indifferent towards her presence. Xia Yao Xing couldn't understand why... But, she felt a warm feeling inside her heart looking at him.
The other four judges were on their high point. It already has been three hours since they started the audition but... The main objective of the judges couldn't be fulfilled. They were annoyed to hell !
None of the judges looked at Xia Yao Xing till now. They were completely immerged in their documents and mobile phones.
The Director asked Xia Yao Xing without even looking at her, "OK. Miss... Xia. What are the scenes you got?" He said reviewing her name on the document.
"Scene - 95,96." Xia Yao Xing said politely. She didn't utter a word apart from answering their question.
Director and the other three judges looked up from their papers after hearing about the scenes she got.
Even thought only some scenes from the film were taken out for this audition, the scene Xia Yao Xing got was one of the hardest scenes in this film.
All scenes were alloted through a lottery system and only two contestants got these scene. The person who got the scenes before was a complete disaster. She picked the scene 95, which is comparatively easier than the scene 96, she couldn't stand out even that one. She took very much of their time and truly annoyed them.
Though they were expecting the same from Xia Yao Xing, they simply don't want the same thing to be happen again.
Director asked, "Miss Xia right? What scene are you going to perform?" Though he didn't expect much, he was a little curious after seeing Xia Yao Xing's beauty.
"I want to perform scene 96." the determination in Xia Yao Xing's eyes was clear and it mesmerised the director.
Her answer left every judge present their shocked, including the one who was completely indifferent before. He looked up as her answer caught him off guard and he was a little shocked.
"You... Don't want to audition for the protagonist?" The person asked her with a voice nothing less to a God.
"I feel the character of antagonist is more fascinating." Xia Yao Xing said. Her answer was neither over flattering nor dull. It was full of determination. She clearly expressed her love for the antagonist character without even uttering anything about the other one.
"Are you sure about the choice." The director asked for her response for which Xia Yao Xing nodded.
The contestants when got the 2 scenes, they were told that they can perform anyone of the scene from them. One scene was of protagonist while the other was of antagonist.
Naturally, most of the contestants choose to perform for the protagonist role while very few choose to perform for the antagonist role. Xia Yao Xing was one of them but, the thing that made her different was, Scene - 96.
In reality, this audition was to choose the main antagonist of the film and the other characters of the film. As the female lead was already selected before. It was the rising star Xia Xiang.
"Then you can begin." The female present near the director said with a little curiosity in her voice.
Xia Yao Xing took a box from the coat she was waring over her clothes. She applied the contact lenses present inside the box without even using a mirror. She took off the grey knee length coat and handed it over to a spot boy.
As soon as she took off her coat everyone present inside the audition Hall were mesmerised by her appearance.
She was waring a dark Maroon colour off shoulder frock that stopped just below her mid thigh and up her knees. The frock neither looked over showing nor over protecting it was just elegant.
Her skin was looking whiter with the Maroon colour of the frock intensifying it. There was a mesmerising black mole on the crook of her neck where her neck met her shoulder. She looked very seductive even without revealing anything.
She looked beautiful. She was Gorgeous. Every word that could describe a women's beauty was not enough to describe the girls standing in from of them.
If they have eyes, Xia Yao Xing was the exact replica of the antagonist, Yun Yue!
There was a paragraph in the novel which described the beauty of Yun Yue. It mentioned her colour choice and the mole. Everyone was sure that if anyone could justify the beauty described by the writer was none other than this girl present here, Xia Yao Xing.
"I'm starting." Xia Yao Xing said respectfully.
Xia Yao Xing took a long breath in and looked down.
Xia Yao Xing stood there for 20 seconds and then suddenly fell down! She sat there. She slowly placed her right hand on her flat belly. She gently moved it in circles on her belly... All this while her face was blank. She didn't show any ounce of expression but her eyes... Her eyes were everything. Her eyes were showing everything but we're still lifeless.
She slowly looked down at her belly. She placed her other hand on the previous one. No one can understand what she was thinking when a slow tear drop started flowing down her cheek and fell on her porcelain white hands. Then one by one her tears fell. She didn't even budge from the place but her tears fell uncontrollably. Except slowly circling her hand as if trying to console the child inside, Xia Yao Xing was just like a statue on that spot. (Everyone were shocked to see this scene.)
If not for the tears falling down her cheeks, and her occasional breathing everyone must have thought that was a image and not a living person.
Then slowly the automatic raining started. As the rain drops fell on Xia Yao Xing her grievance increased 100 folds. She only acted with her eyes but nothing else. Suddenly... "Ahhhhhhhhhh.....!!!!"
A loud scream and everyone jumped in their places.
Xia Yao Xing was looking up towards the rain while screaming continuously for a while. She was in the same position for 15 seconds. She then stood up and bowed towards the judges.
It was not clear who started it but soon everyone came to their senses and started clapping.
The automatic rain stopped and a spot girl came with a towel for Xia Yao Xing. The girl started wiping Xia Yao Xing's wet hair as Xia Yao Xing took the towel and started doing it herself. She said, "Thank you." to the girls as the girl went back. She soon stopped wiping and again looked at the judges.
"Your selected."
The man who was looking indifferent said while he stood up and clapped once again. Seeing his gesture, other judges did the same and again the hall was erupted with claps and cheers.
"You're our antagonist, Yun Yue. Please call your manager." the Director said.
Xia Yao Xing, took out her phone and directly contacted her company as didn't wanted to call her manager as she knew it's nothing better. The company allowed Manager Fu to do the paperwork for Xia Yao Xing. Everything went properly.
Jang Man Wol was selected as the best friend of the antagonist.
They both were about to go back together to celebrate their first movie when Jang Man Wol's phone rang and she went for her mother.
Xia Yao Xing sighed and took a cab to her home. Feeling all alone again.
