Chapter 490: 490
Lin Che could only smile at the reporters and said, “Every TV series will have this kind of audition . If I don’t get selected for this, there’ll still be other shows . This isn’t a competition . It is just part of the job . ”

However, the reporter said, “But this ‘Witch’s Diary’ is an extremely rare hit series . Everyone knows that whoever can be a part of it will definitely shoot to fame . More than twenty actresses have already gone for the selections . It is clear that the competition is stiff . ”
Lin Che said speechlessly, “There are plenty of good things in this world . For example, Bill Gates is so rich while here I am still thinking why can’t I be that rich? If someone else gets it, I’ll definitely be envious . But this doesn’t mean anything . I am not Bill Gates and my life still goes on . If I can’t get the role today, I’ll still continue to live . This isn’t a life or death situation . ”
The reporters looked at one another .
Just because the two of them were often compared recently, this role-casting became highly talked about and the reporters were making use of this hype .
Now, Lin Che’s words made them feel embarrassed .
Lin Che went straight in .
Upon entering, she saw that Qin Wanwan was already there .
Qin Wanwan smiled and asked, “You’re only here now?”
Lin Che replied, “It’s just role-casting . It’s not first-come-first-served like when buying vegetables and those who come late won’t get the freshest produce . No matter how early or late we come, we are all competing with our abilities . Whatever the media outside says does not dictate who lands the role . ”
Qin Wanwan smiled subtly .
But Qin Wanwan was still Qin Wanwan . She still smiled extremely politely and said, “Oh right, your movie was released recently and the reception seems very good . Gu Jingyu is so good to you and lands you very good roles . It’s a pity that today’s movie is not Gu Jingyu’s production . Otherwise, the rest of us probably wouldn’t have had much of a chance . ”

Lin Che looked at Qin Wanwan, “Whoever produces it still has to see whether the candidate has skills to fit the role . Whoever gets selected will still be based on how the production crew selects . ”
When she was done, Yang Lingxin grunted forcefully at Qin Wanwan .
Lin Che walked around Qin Wanwan and went in .
Yang Lingxin said to Lin Che, “She is too much! Every single one of her sentences is about how you’re depending on Gu Jingyu . Sister Che, you have your own abilities and that is why Gu Jingyu picked you . It’s her own fault for being bad at acting and that is why Gu Jingyu doesn’t like her . ”
“Alright, let’s go take a look at the roles first . ”
The crew saw that Lin Che had arrived . They courteously led Lin Che in and let her look at the script and roles .
Actually, Lin Che already saw this many times . Furthermore, she was an avid reader of this novel and she identified very much with the female protagonist .
She liked this role very much . The character was skillful and neat, but also gentle and feminine .
The most attractive part about this character was definitely her skillful and powerful witchcraft . This role also actually suited Lin Che very well . She had already played several of such roles in which the character was beautiful but very indifferent and independent .
When Lin Che went into the rehearsal room, a few chief creators had already been waiting in there .
Qin Wanwan was also already standing there and trying to get close to the chief creators .

When Lin Che went in, a few of them stood up to greet Lin Che .
“Hello Director, hello Producer, hello Mr . Chen,” Lin Che greeted them formally . She saw that the author was also there and quickly said, “Oh my, hello hello! Can I take a photo with you? I’m a loyal reader of your novel!”
The author looked at her and was also very surprised . He got up and said, “Thank you, thank you! Thank you for liking my work . Of course, you can . It is my honor . ”
This time, the author was personally here as the screenwriter so that the show would not deviate too much from the original novel . He was also here to personally participate in the role-casting, so he came along to this place .
He had already gotten used to seeing these actors trying to get close to them .
Many actors also intentionally said that they were loyal readers of this novel .
Still, he took a photo with Lin Che because she was so famous now . He had seen Lin Che’s past works and also thought that she was a good fit .
At the side, Qin Wanwan scoffed and said to her manager, “She’s also trying to get close like me . ”
“It’s alright . We’ll leave her with no way out later . Let’s see what she can do about that . ”
Very soon, it was time for both of them to perform .
Qin Wanwan went first . She looked at Lin Che who was sitting at the side and her lips curled up in a vicious smile .

Lin Che instantly had a bad feeling about this .
Sure enough, she immediately acted out an action scene from the script .
She turned around haughtily and used a gun to shoot people . Using a sorcerer’s wand to conduct her magic, these actions were performed so neatly and convincingly that if she had a costume on, it would have definitely looked great .
It was just that the performance…
Yang Lingxin exclaimed beside Lin Che, “Sister Che, why does her performance look so similar to yours?”
Lin Che clenched her fists .
Yes, it was so similar .
It was not just that . She had completely and utterly mimicked Lin Che’s usual style to a tee .
Lin Che immediately realized that she did it on purpose .
If she intentionally used Lin Che’s style, how was Lin Che going to perform after that?
This kind of neutral role had always been Lin Che’s strong suit . It was also one of the reasons why this crew took a liking to Lin Che .
Now, Qin Wanwan was showing that she was equally capable of performing like that . Furthermore, she stole Lin Che’s style right in front of her eyes . Even if Lin Che performed the same thing later, there would be no sense of freshness . If she didn’t perform this, her chance for this role-casting would be practically gone .
When Qin Wanwan was done, the few people clapped in acknowledgment .
At the same time, they turned to look at Lin Che .
Qin Wanwan smiled and said, “Lin Che, this is what you’re better at . I also learned it from you . I hope you don’t mind . ” Don’t mind my ass .
Yang Lingxin was so angry that she didn’t know what to do .
But at this moment, Lin Che only said plainly, “It’s okay . One generation plants the trees whose shade another generation rests under . I learned this from my teacher . You can use it however you want . ”
Qin Wanwan walked triumphantly to the side . She looked at Lin Che, waiting for her next move .
Was she going to perform impromptu?
But an actor’s style was actually very difficult to change, especially once they get used to the actions and expressions . Changing style would make it seem unnatural .
Lin Che stood in front of everyone . She looked at the chief creators, curtsied to the audience, then stood still and looked ahead .
Everyone was also curious and didn’t know what else she had prepared .
Did she prepare the same thing as Qin Wanwan, but more saleable?
However, Lin Che took a deep breath and suddenly sat on the ground…
