Chapter 12: Female Lead? You Need an Audition!

  Going home, the night sky of Los Angeles is filled with dazzling neon lights. The main street of Hollywood is always crowded with people coming and going. There are high-end fashion stores and expensive luxury goods stores that represent the world's trend, but there are also dark corners and places where the bright lights cannot shine.

  Zhou Shaoming returned home, opened the door, and held a hot steak meal in his hand. He planned to treat Kristen to a good meal.

  Pushing open the bathroom door, Christina lazily sat on the floor hugging the toilet, her beautiful delicate face stuck to the toilet lid, her cascading golden hair tied in a ponytail, revealing her smooth and full forehead, listlessly watching the soap opera on TV.

  When she saw Zhou Shaoming return, Kristina's eyes shone with joyful light, and her face no longer had a cold and icy rejection and hidden fear, but instead floated up some faint delight.

  "You're finally back! I was afraid you'd get knocked out on the streets of Hollywood and I'd be in trouble!" Christina said with a sassy tone, clinking her shiny handcuffs.

  "I'm really sorry to be back so late, I brought you a steak, I thought you must be tired of eating bread!" Zhou Shaoming laughed and opened the handcuffs on Kristina's hands, but he didn't relax his vigilance, still cuffing the other end to his own hand.

  "Awesome! I'm totally in love with steak!" Christina seemed to have accepted her fate, nonchalantly smiling slyly.

  "Come on, let's go eat at the restaurant."

  Sitting at the dinner table, Christina was wolfing down a freshly baked delicious steak, while Zhou Shaoming, because he was tied up with her, also moved a chair to sit beside her, watching this fiery little beauty eat with great interest.

  "How was it? Was everything okay today?" Kristen asked in a muffled tone while eating her steak, and the clever her certainly noticed that Zhou Shaoming was obviously in high spirits, no longer looking exhausted and disheartened like he used to when he came back.

  Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "Of course, I'm going to be a future super director, what can't I handle? Mr. Tobin Bell has agreed to star in my movie and invested $100,000 with great foresight!"

  Christina's eyes lit up: "So that means we can raise funds quickly and start shooting soon?"

  "Indeed, once I find a few more actors tomorrow, I reckon we can start filming soon!" Zhou Shaoming pretended to be nonchalant, but his face quickly revealed an uncontrollable smile.

  This guy is really a big boy, can't hide his feelings at all. Christina secretly smiled.

  "Then what's my role? Who do you want me to play? Amanda or...?" Kristina asked, her beautiful eyes fixed firmly on Zhou Shaoming's face.

  "This question, I think I'll answer you later! Is that okay?" Zhou Shaoming furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, pretending to be having a hard time deciding.

  "I don't care! You promised me, I must play a role! You can't stop me!" Kristina said impatiently, not even noticing that she was still holding onto Zhou Shaoming's hand like a little girl.

  Her hands are really white and tender... Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but think of some scenes, but soon he was disappointed to find that the giant python-like thing didn't move at all.

  Christina saw Zhou Shaoming as if he was deep in thought, and couldn't help but stretch out her slender hand in front of him: "Hey, kidnapper, what's wrong with you?"

  "Oh, it's nothing, nothing. By the way, Christina, you look so beautiful, I think your acting skills should be pretty good!" Zhou Shaoming came back to his senses, awkwardly rubbed his head, and quickly changed the subject.

  Christina is 100% confident in her appearance and figure, but when it comes to acting skills, she can't even make the cut in Hollywood where stars gather, but competitive Americans won't expose their weaknesses.

  "Hmph, anyway I'm better than you!" Kristina pouted, her delicate and lovely red lips making Zhou Shaoming's heart skip a beat again.

  "Well, let me test you?" Zhou Shaoming smiled mysteriously, suddenly thinking of a good idea to tease the sexy and charming girl in front of him.

  "Examine me? Come on, come on, who's afraid of whom. But you, an ordinary person who hasn't even become a great director yet, are you qualified to examine me?" Christina puffed out her already ample chest, completely unaware that the wolf-like gaze was drifting back and forth in front of it, before fluttering away again in a fluster.

  "I'll be a great director someday! If you want to act, you have to go through my audition!" Zhou Shaoming said with a straight face, his expression saying "if you don't believe me, who can you believe?"

  "You're really something! Alright, let's make a bet!" Christina said loudly. She didn't believe Zhou Shaoming could come up with anything strange for the test questions. Anyway, it was just acting out some shady roles like prostitutes or homosexuals, this guy's mind must be full of boring and obscene things.

  "Alright! I'm betting on it. If you come up with a topic and perform well, I'll take you out for a stroll!" Zhou Shaoming burst into loud laughter.

  "Go for a walk? Aren't you afraid I'll run away? Aren't you afraid I'll shout loudly and get the police to catch this kidnapper?" Kristen's face was full of surprise, thinking that this guy's guts were really big.

  "Don't worry, I'll tie you and me together with this rope, and point at you with this! Haha" Zhou Shaoming took out a handgun and put it on the table, as if he had heard an extremely hilarious joke, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.

  He's not afraid, of course. With Christina's poor acting skills, which are only 55 points, she can't even pass the performance test. If she really could do it, according to Zhou Shaoming's idea, taking her out for a walk with handcuffs and a gun wouldn't be very dangerous either.

  "Bad guy!" Kristina stared at the gun, swallowing hard, her face also turned pale.

  "You just behave, and I'll definitely let you go, not a single hair will be harmed!" Zhou Shaoming said with a complacent tone. With the Super Director System and the Good Feeling value, this heaven-defying thing, as long as he keeps Kristina for a while longer, it's not just about letting her go, even if he tries to coax her into bed, it might just work!

  "Alright, I accept your condition. What do I lose if I don't make it?" Kristina asked, raising her head and asking back, unaware of Zhou Shaoming's unscrupulous thoughts.

  "Hey, you don't need to say anything, just give me a kiss on the left side of my face and that's it!" Zhou Shaoming said with a sly smile.

  "Bad guy! Bad things, full of these bad thoughts!" Kristina was a bit shy, she almost forgot the identities of the two, subconsciously treating Zhou Shaoming, who no longer had any intentions, as a pretty good friend, even mentioning the kidnapper in a joking tone.

  In just a few days, her favorability towards Zhou Shaoming had actually increased to 40%! This was something that made Zhou Shaoming extremely happy.
