Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Yuna has worked at the TV station for so many years, starting from small roles. She has seen and experienced many similar situations and is used to them.

Her smile remained unchanged as she said, "It's not surprising that Sister Xia Lu doesn't remember me. I was quite young back then, unlike you, who has been in the industry for many years. The roles I played at the time didn't match Sister Xia Lu's at all. After all, I wasn't old enough to play her younger sister, and I was a bit too old to play her daughter. So, I never actually acted on the same stage as Sister Xia Lu. Now, we've finally met again and can compete for a role together. It's truly amazing. I never imagined things would turn out this way back then."

Isn't that a bit of a lament? After so many years in the industry, he still has to compete with younger actors for roles.

"Quite sharp-tongued, but roles aren't won with words alone." Xia Lu chuckled coldly, not bothering to waste any more words on You Na, and instead found a place to sit down. She had been in the film industry for several years, and the competition there was far more brutal and intense; what she was seeing now was nothing more than an appetizer.

Yuna sat back down. The two women sat not far apart, but they acted as if the other was invisible, neither able to see the other.

One after another, male actors came to audition, making the competition even fiercer. There were only two roles, but five male actors were vying for them.

They had all worked with Yuna to varying degrees, and while waiting for the director, they chatted about everyday things, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Xia Lu was the only one excluded, and she had no interest in joining the conversation, only occasionally touching up her makeup in the mirror.

When the director arrived, Xia Lu, who had been wearing a cold expression, finally showed a warm and friendly smile. "Director Qi, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work together again. I remember the last time I filmed a movie with you was many years ago. I was wearing this costume back then. I wonder if you remember me? It was that movie that won me the Best Actress award."

Qi Weiming's usually serious face showed a rare smile. "Yes, I remember. Xiu praised you for your talent and said your future was limitless. Speaking of which, since Xiu went to the film company, I've only kept in touch with him by phone. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I really envy the friendship between Director Qi and Xiu," Xia Lu said. "I had dinner with Xiu last night. Xiu told me to listen to Director Qi's teachings and also said he would invite you to dinner sometime."

"Let's talk about it after I finish filming this drama. When I'm working, I'm fully committed to my work and don't have time for personal matters." Qi Weiming was a bit stubborn.

Xia Lu praised, "Director Qi's dedication to his work is something we younger generation should learn from. No wonder Director Qi is so highly respected in the industry; his character and professionalism are unmatched by ordinary people."

Qi Weiming waved his hand, "Don't flatter me. You're here today to audition for a role, right? Let me take a look. With your outfit, you're probably aiming for the role of Xie Weihua."

“That’s right. I’ve acted in more than one period drama set in the Republican era. Xiu also said that when it comes to portraying the role of a socialite or heiress, few people on the TV station can compare to me. Director Qi, why don’t you give me this role? I will definitely live up to your expectations,” Xia Lu said boldly.

Qi Weiming opened the audition room door and said, "Come in first. I need to test your understanding of this role."

Xia Lu followed behind Qi Weiming, glanced at You Na with an arrogant look, and then went in first.

After Qi Weiming arrived, the other judges also arrived.

Yuna sat to the side, her expression calm, revealing no hint of her inner thoughts. She simply sat quietly, waiting for the next person to go in for an audition.

"what?"

The male actor next to her let out a few soft gasps, pulling Yuna back from her wandering thoughts, and she looked up.

She saw a young woman dressed in a Western-style dress walking towards her, her every move exuding the elegant temperament of a young lady from the Republic of China era.

She wore a white French-style dress, a large, round pearl necklace, and matching satin gloves. Most striking was her wide-brimmed hat, adorned with extravagant and ornate feathers and beautiful ribbons.

She walked in with a composed and graceful gait, dignified and noble, her eyes sparkling with intelligence, a veritable princess from the Republic of China era brought to life.

When Yuna saw Hu Xiaoxiao's stunningly beautiful face, she recognized her and stood up. She walked up to Hu Xiaoxiao, looked her up and down, and exclaimed, "Which film crew did you borrow this costume from? It looks so good!"

You can tell at a glance that this dress is all genuine and very expensive, so expensive that most people can't afford it.

With her noble demeanor and exquisite attire, Yuna felt as if Xie Weihua had stepped out of the book.

Yuna put a lot of effort into studying Xie Weihua, but Xie Weihua's image remained vague in her mind, without any concrete details.

Now that we see Hu Xiaoxiao, Xie Weihua becomes more concrete, and the character comes alive.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked to the audition room door, glanced at the closed door, and said to You Na, "I borrowed it from a friend."

Many famous socialites and heiresses from the Republic of China era came to Baogang, bringing with them a lot of the gorgeous clothes and decorations they once wore.

Many of these socialites and heiresses are still alive and active in high society circles.

Hu Xiaoxiao had a good relationship with Ms. Tan Yinglian, who introduced her to many outstanding women in high society. Many of these women's mothers were prominent figures during the Republic of China era.

Hu Xiaoxiao not only borrowed several sets of clothes and jewelry from them, but also learned some etiquette from the Republican era.

Hu Xiaoxiao was sweet-talking and charming, and the elderly people, who also missed their younger selves, taught her many things.

The clothes and outfits that Hu Xiaoxiao wore in the three photos were borrowed from them, which is why the photos turned out so well, leaving Lin Yi completely stunned.

The photos turned out so well, let alone the real person appearing in person. At this moment, even if Hu Xiaoxiao had traveled back to the Republic of China era, she could still act without any sense of incongruity.

Yuna carefully examined Hu Xiaoxiao's outfit for a while, then her gaze fell on Hu Xiaoxiao's exceptionally beautiful face. She lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Then, with some hesitation, she looked up at Hu Xiaoxiao's overall demeanor, frowned slightly, lowered her head, and rolled her eyes.

She quickly looked up again and said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Xia Lu has already gone in. It was supposed to be my turn to audition, but I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave for a bit. You can go in and audition first."

Seeing that You Na was also dressed to be with Xie Weihua, Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "The auditions are about to start, where are you going? Aren't you afraid you'll miss it?"

"I have something urgent to attend to, I'll be right back." Yuna said, then turned and ran. She was wearing high heels, and because she was running so fast, her back view looked a little flustered and nervous.
