It was said that the Veiled Queen had even sat in the first row of seats at the auction.

One had to know that the first row of seats was equivalent to the ceiling amongst the rich.

It was the existence of the top rich.

All of this pushed the identity of the Veiled Queen to an even more mysterious place.

Shen Yue called Fang Mo’er. “Young miss, did your performance today go well?”

Fang Mo’er nodded. “It went well, I guess.”

There had only been one incident, but fortunately, it was over.

Shen Yue nodded. “That’s good. Oh right, I wanted to inform you that your audition for the wuxia and xianxia dramas has been canceled and changed to the audition for the third female lead. Sigh… Did you offend someone? I heard that the order came from above.”

Fang Mo’er was also speechless when she heard this. She immediately thought of Wu Ling.

Other than Shi Mo, the only person she knew from above was Wu Ling.

Recently, Wu Ling had been very displeased with her.

“I understand.” Fang Mo’er suddenly felt helpless. She could only tell her about how Shi Mo’s mother did not like her.

Shen Yue was also helpless in this matter. All she could say was, “However, the female lead of ‘High Monk, Please Follow Me’ is still yours. I think you can take on this drama.”

It seemed that the higher-ups had felt that there was no need to be calculative with Fang Mo’er over such a small resource.

Hence, they had not interfered much with this TV series.

Fang Mo’er said helplessly, “I understand!”

Production work on ‘High Monk, Please Follow Me’ had already been started by the production team, the various directors, the lighting crew, and the props crew. Everything was ready.

At the moment, they had already entered the role selection stage.

However, the female lead was being chosen internally.

This production was not favored by others.

All sorts of hot searches on the Internet were about the character selections for the other two TV series.

However, the news about this production was cold and quiet.

There had not been much attention on the Internet.

Only the original manga fans were paying attention to this matter.

However, they were very picky about the female lead.

Seeing that this drama was not very popular, they knew that the female lead would definitely be chosen amongst the more low-level artistes.

They were immediately worried that the chosen artiste would play the female lead badly.

“This female lead role is not something that an ordinary person can act. She has to appear very demonic on the surface, but she actually has a very kind heart. Moreover, she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her emotions are very delicate. It is not something that an ordinary person could master!”

“As soon as I saw the level of popularity, I knew that they probably wouldn’t be able to hire any good artistes. The loyal fans of the manga have expressed their concerns over the lack of funds and the fact that won’t have access to much good equipment.”

The netizens did not know that the cast and crew had already decided on an actress.

When the production made the announcement, the manga fans expressed that this was indeed the case.

“Although Fang Mo’er’s image is very suitable for the female lead character, her acting skills probably won’t pass the test!”

“It’s really too difficult for a newly debuted artiste to perform well in this role!”

“I don’t know if I should continue paying attention to what is going on in the production. I’m so worried that the way it looks isn’t what I think it is!”

In the manga, the characters of the male and female protagonists were completely different. One was extremely seductive, while the other was abstinent.

The images of these two people in the hearts of the fans were completely perfect. If they were adapted into a TV series, it was sure to be greatly reduced.

Among the manga tribe, all the netizens were discussing this TV series.

There was even a poll that gauged the fans’ expectations for the TV series. In the end, 80% of the fans said that they only hoped that it would not be too bad.

One manga fan, who was a professional costume designer, said, “I applied to be able to provide costume design for the crew. The costumes of this TV series must combine various aesthetics to work!”

While sighing, he still hoped that the TV series would be done as well as possible.

A fan volunteered, “I know someone who has a similar image to the second male lead. He has already been recommended to the production team.”

“Sigh, if Fang Mo’er plays the role, I’ll apply to be her voice actor. I don’t think she can portray that kind of soft and sensual feeling!”

Fang Mo’er was on the manga forum. As she watched everyone’s discussion, she could not help but feel warm in her heart.

Although everyone was worried that the funds would not be enough to be of good quality and that the production would be terrible, they still tried their best to think of a way.

Hence, Fang Mo’er responded to everyone as the author, saying that she would supervise the screenwriter and try her best to restore the original manga plot so that there would not be any random adaptations.

When the fans heard this news, they were relieved.

They were afraid that after being adapted, they would not be able to recognize the story anymore.

After replying, Fang Mo’er looked at Shi Mo who had come out of the bathroom with only a towel hanging around his waist.

She gulped.

She could not help but ask, “By the way, have you chosen the male lead?”

The water droplets fell along the man’s muscular chest and disappeared beneath the towel around his waist.

This person could definitely become a male model or a fitness coach. He could definitely earn a lot of money.

Even if he entered the entertainment industry, just showing his face would attract a large number of attractive fans.

At the moment, Shi Mo’s face could truly be a hit.
