After all, Qiao Anhao right now didn’t represent just herself. She was also Mrs. Lu, and she couldn't embarrass Lu Jinnian.
The Hollywood casting selection was no different from most of China's variety show competitions. There were three stages; the selection process, the top eight, and the finals.
There were many people participating, and so there was very little time for each contestant. You had to make the judges see your brightest talent in the shortest amount of time to keep you.
There wasn't a dress rehearsal for the selection, it was all live. Contestants were lined up in an alphabetical order according to their surnames. Qiao Anhao's surname began with a 'Q', which was neither close to the start or end of the twenty six letters of the alphabet. Among over a hundred contestants, Qiao Anhao's name was forty-ninth.
