Chapter 101: Proving Herself through Her Skills
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Who were the previous auditionees?
Their hair were curled into huge waves, their makeup were heavy and seductive, their eyelashes were thick like a brush’s tough bristles, and their nose bridges were penciled thickly – the faces of these ladies were so shiny they could blind others.
The audition participants were either online celebrities who had gone under the knife or unpopular young models in the entertainment industry. They had neither looks nor auras of elegance.
High heels, painted faces, revealing dresses – what were all these? Did they come from nightclubs?
Putting this aside, six words could sum up the two sessions of auditioning today: an entire morning of crying scenes.
All these people seemed to think that a crying scene was the toughest to act out, so, for the rest of the morning, everyone who had come to audition performed the most iconic crying scenes in the story.
Crying and crying… While crying scene was the most challenging to act, one would get sick from watching the same scenes again and again, no matter how good it was. Lin Fengtian’s head throbbed from watching the ladies cry the entire morning that he was no longer in the mood for the auditions.
Bored to death, Lin Fengtian propped his chin on one hand as he rapidly twirled a black pen between his fingers with his other hand. He inadvertently recalled, once more, that ‘little fairy’ he had seen by the entrance of Huanyu Tower that day. That girl was the ‘Yin Xiachun’ in his mind.
She did not need to act. She just needed to stand there and she would look just like the female character from the novel.
What a muddle-head he was. Sigh…
The assistant sitting next to him shot him a cold glance…
He looked lovesick.
Just as Lin Fengtian’s face contorted with a deep-rooted bitterness, Yun Shishi pushed the door open and entered.
She was wearing a long, clean dress. She seemed to have only put on light makeup as her face looked natural. Her entire being was simply charming. She was shrouded by a tranquil aura, she wore a warm smile, and she had a pair of bright eyes. She looked as though she had come straight out of a novel – she was Yin Xiachun.
All the examiners were stunned. When Lin Fengtian’s assistant saw her, he was thoroughly shocked!
“Director, it’s… it’s her!”
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Yun Shishi appeared to be a little reserved. Her steps were small and light and her jet-black hair was waist-long, covering her entire back and fluttering in the breeze blowing in from outside the window. She walked to the front of the examiners’ table and raised her face. A faint blush surfaced on her snowy-white skin from anxiety, or from other unidentified emotions. Her eyes displayed the unrest, expectation, uneasiness, and anxiety of a student stepping on the stage for the first time. She gave off the impression that she was performing for the entire student body in the school auditorium for the first time.
Slightly nervous, she looked up and around. When she spotted Gu Xingze among the audience, a weight was lifted off her chest. She closed her eyes and sucked in a chilly breath. Thereafter, she spoke haltingly, “He – Hello, everyone! I’m… I’m Yin Xiachun from Year 2 Class 1. I feel very much honored to be able to stand on this stage. Ne – Next…”
Halfway through her sentence, she blanked out and trailed off. She was just like a child who had forgotten her lines due to stage fright. She cast her worried eyes on Gu Xingze.
“This…”
A producer sitting at the side stared at her with wide eyes, thinking that the girl was so nervous she was stringing lines together. He was about to stop her when Lin Fengtian held his shoulder. He instantly fell silent.
When Lin Fengtian moved his gaze back to Yun Shishi, his eyes were full of surprise and approval!
The others were just sitting in for the audition, but Lin Fengtian was the director for this movie. He was very familiar with the script. This girl was not saying the wrong lines because of nervousness; she was directly proving herself to them through her acting skills
