Chapter 733
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 .
The female celebrities shortlisted for selection did have some acting skills and they weren't bad looking . The competition looked extremely fierce . As the thirtieth person went up on stage, Qiao Anhao started to feel a little nervous .
When contestant number thirty-eight was called, Qiao Anhao started to prepare . As the number kept coming closer to hers, she wasn't nervous, on the contrary, she gradually started to calm down .
As she was taking deep breaths in front of a mirror to calm herself, she couldn't help but turn her head when the presenter called contestant number forty's name . There she saw a well-dressed Lin Shiyi step onto the stage in her high heels .
Although Qiao Anhao was backstage, she could still see the broadcast of Lin Shiyi on the televisions backstage . Lin Shiyi sang an English song . Although she came from an acting background, she had a good set of pipes . The moment she hit a high note, the audience and the judges started to clap their hands .

Four out of five judges put Lin Shiyi through to the next round, the top eight .
Lin Shiyi returned from the stage with far more confidence on her face than when she got on . So much so, she glanced over at Qiao Anhao with an extremely provoking expression in her eyes .
Qiao Anhao pretended as though she didn't see it and turned her head with a calm expression . She ran through the lyrics she'd memorized in her mind again, straightened her waist and back, and raised her chin high up .
She remembered well the words that Lu Jinnian had told her . The more Lin Shiyi wanted to compete with her, the more she had to pretend as if nothing had happened . Because it's just as Edison Chen said, "Pretending as if nothing happened is the cruelest revenge . "
When number forty-seven finished performing, Qiao Anhao received Lu Jinnian's text . It was just two simple words "Good luck!", but they filled her with boundless confidence .
When the presenter said "Welcome number forty-eight Qiao Anhao on to the stage", She handed her phone to Zhao Meng and stepped onto the stage .
Qiao Anhao had chosen to sing a song . But what was different from other actors was that she didn't dance, play the piano, the guitar, and couldn’t hit a high note . She just stood at the center of the stage and calmly and clearly sang every word of the song she had chosen, "So What" .
This was a song she had accidentally stumbled upon in the car last year .
At the time, she didn't know where Lu Jinnian was and had searched for him for a long time . When she heard the song, she just felt like the lyrics mirrored the thoughts in her heart, so she listened to it repeatedly and learned it by heart .
