Inferior females become internet sensations across the entire galaxy

Chapter 256 Dilemma
The characters in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio are easy to choose. Although there are ghosts and monsters, most of them are normal-looking.

The daily life isn't too fantastical, so the characters are relatively easy to understand.

For example, in the Zhu Erdan episode, apart from Lu Pan having some magic, the other characters are all ordinary people.

With Jiang Qin having already starred in two period dramas, the actors basically only needed some training in traditional etiquette.

After all, they are all professionals with their own understanding of the roles; otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen.

The difficulty lies in maintaining a rigid agreement.

This is another subject matter that interstellar people have never seen before, especially the scenes about Taoist magic, which are even more difficult to understand than ancient martial arts.

There are also zombies.

In a few places in space, there are still stories and legends about vampires, but nobody is interested in them.

Because in everyone's eyes, this is a story adapted from zombies.

The zombie apocalypse of that year did indeed evolve into an immortal, snow-white-skinned, red-eyed monster that ate people in the later stages.

Advanced zombies generally possess sentience.

So basically everyone thinks that vampires are zombies!

As for zombies, I've never heard of them...

Corpse transport? Completely bewildered.

Now that they had a contract with a zombie apocalypse, Jiang Qin also had a plan: to film the zombie Taoist priest.

She's just too busy right now; she has to be present for every single film.

After auditioning for several days, I finally received an invitation from Empire to film a variety show.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qin agreed.

For no other reason than to see it through to the end, and since this time it's being filmed on the Federation's main planet, she can set up the scenes and record the variety show at the same time.

As for auditions, we've already found most of the main roles, and we should be able to find the rest before the variety show recording.

After all, what we've received so far is just an invitation; the actual recording will begin in three days.

She did not ask which guests the program invited this time.

***
Two days later.

Before the variety show recording, Ma Xiaoling's role was still undecided.

Three female candidates were initially selected who seemed to fit the image, but they were all rejected after the actual audition.

This caused Jiang Qin a great deal of distress.

She did consider doing it herself, but to be honest, she might not be as professional as a professional actor.

This is a difficult situation.

Should I hone my acting skills and take the role myself, or should I continue auditioning, try to find a suitable actress, and then explain the intricacies and mystical principles to her...?

This reminded her of the actress chosen to play Daiyu in the first version of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Which do you prioritize: temperament or appearance?

Finally, the director said that he would rather have that actress's charisma than find a more beautiful actress.

In terms of image, Jiang Qin feels that she fits the description fairly well.

Some shortcomings can be made up for with makeup and styling; her only lack of confidence is in her acting skills.

After much deliberation, Jiang Qin decided to take a closer look.

Therefore, Tianwen Entertainment could only continue to issue announcements and recruit female actors, with the requirement that they have a face resembling that of someone from Central Continent.

Age is not a requirement; even 50-year-old female interstellar women can maintain the appearance of a 20-year-old.

Therefore, age is the least important thing to mention.

Many of the female actors who had auditioned before were interested.

After all, they just didn't get selected for supporting roles during auditions; maybe they're destined to be leading ladies?

As a result, the audition building of Tianwen Entertainment was once again packed with people.

"His face is too Western, no, next one."

"Leg shape not good enough, next one..." "Too cute, not suitable, next one."

"Your fingers aren't pretty... Next one."

Jiang Qin eliminated a large number of people in just a few hours, much like a production line.

This was something no one had ever seen before, even after so many days of auditions.

Today, she is undeniably strict.

The female actress who was not selected immediately looked dejected after leaving the audition room.

"Waaah, Miss Jiang Qin is so cold today."

"Don't even mention it. I hadn't even auditioned yet. I was rejected just for extending my hand."

"There's no other way. The female lead in this drama has a lot of scenes involving hand gestures, so we can't always use a hand double or Photoshop all of them."

"Sigh, I was also rejected because I'm a bit too big..."

"I was rejected because my gestures were too stiff and my eyes were too empty."

"To be honest, I don't understand why the female lead has to use such awkward hand gestures during battle. I felt like an idiot and almost burst out laughing..."

"I still don't understand what kind of drama this is. I interviewed for a female cannon fodder role."

It's just one scene, at a fashion show, where she transforms into a female zombie and fights with the male lead.

I acted as a female zombie, and then I was eliminated.

"Although I didn't get the role, I have a feeling this will be a very interesting drama!"

……

The room was still calling numbers, and more and more female actors came out looking unwell.

They all left in a hurry, clearly having failed to be selected.

This made the remaining people increasingly uneasy.

Orc females didn't even get a chance to audition, and pure human females basically had no chance either, since they simply couldn't handle the action scenes.

Even just finding someone whose image fits the description is quite difficult.

Even on the day the dating reality show started filming, Jiang Qin still hadn't chosen a female lead.

As for the male lead, Long Hao has already been cast.

Although he was an imperial male, his appearance was that of a pure Easterner; as for his eyes, he could simply wear colored contact lenses.

***
On the first day of filming for the dating reality show, all the guests gathered in a scenic town in the city center.

Jiang Qin saw several familiar faces here.

Female guest: Natalie.

Male guests: Ni Jia, Jiang Qingfeng, Yuan Ling, Long Hao!

As for Apollo, according to online rumors, he has become Denise's lover.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and she's not sure if it's true or not.

There were also three unfamiliar females and one male, all newcomers, whom she didn't recognize.

Just then, the director began to introduce everyone, "I believe that those of you who watched the first episode of our show will recognize the guests here, right?"

That's right, it's our old friends from the first episode: Miss Natalie, Miss Jiang Qin, Young Marshal Jiang Qingfeng, His Highness Long Hao, Mr. Ni Jia, and our Mr. Yuan Ling.

The remaining guests are our newest additions!

The director first introduced a woman with fiery red medium-length hair and wearing a variety of earrings on both ears.

"This is Miss Qi Shan from the Empire. She is an A-rank female and also an excellent racing driver!"

The director held the microphone to Qi Shan's mouth and politely asked, "Ms. Qi Shan, would you like to say hello to the viewers in the live broadcast room?"

Qi Shan grinned and said, "Hello everyone, I am a bisexual. I came here for Miss Jiang Qin and the young marshal."

I hope that the three of us can finally hold hands and return home!

...The entire room fell silent.
