Gu Li said, “You want me to act, right? Then I’ll perform a scene, with the other three teachers serving as judges. If I pass the assessment, Teacher Cheng, you must apologize to me on Weibo. If I don’t pass, I will withdraw from the recording and compensate the program group for their losses. What do you say?”
“Okay! I agree.”
Cheng Ying nodded, secretly laughing to herself thinking Gu Li was a fool.
Even if she lost, it wouldn’t matter to her since she wasn’t a celebrity. Apologizing on Weibo wouldn’t hurt her, unlike Gu Li, who would pay a much higher price if she lost…
She thought that Gu Li was so clever, but it turned out that she was just a silly girl.
Cheng Ying felt more pleased with her contemplation.
Director Yang, who was watching on the side, became anxious. He was about to intervene but was interrupted by Xue Huaimo, “Let’s begin then.”
Since the director said so, the other two judges had no objections.
Gu Li said to Xue Huaimo, “I’ve watched all of your movies, Director Xue. You can choose any character for me to play.”
Xue Huaimo was amused by her confident attitude, “Since you’re so confident, you can perform this role.”
After he finished speaking, he took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it to her.
Gu Li took a look. It was a script from the movie “Fallen City”.
“Fallen City” is a huge production directed by Xue Huaimo. Besides the male lead, none of the important female roles have been decided. Rumor has it that his participation in this show as a judge was to scout for actresses.
Gu Li carefully studied the script and was quickly engrossed in the gripping plot.
This section tells the story of Tianwu, a daughter of the Xiang State, who infiltrates the enemy country alone to save her beloved Qin Guo. She goes through trials and tribulations to locate him, only to discover that he is the prince of the enemy country. The scene encapsulates her despair at the discovery.
The plot is only a single page, but it illustrates Tianwu’s passionate love and hatred vividly.
It has to be said, even experienced actors with a solid acting foundation could struggle to interpret such a prominent scene, let alone Gu Li, a complete novice?
Therefore, when seeing Gu Li chose to perform this scene, Cheng Ying was amused.
After closely studying it for a few minutes, Gu Li laid the script aside and directly delved into the character.
There were no dialogues, just a sequence of changes in her eyes.
From the initial joy of seeing her beloved, to the disbelief, anger, and resentment of learning his true identity, to the ultimate despair…
The light in the girl’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by overwhelming grief which shrouded her petite figure, deeply affecting everyone present…
The large lounge fell into silence. Everyone was immersed in Tianwu’s great pain until the performance ended, it took a while to snap back to reality.
“Well done!”
“Good job!”
“Fantastic, Teacher Gu.”
Xu Jin, Jiang Cheng, and Director Yang unanimously praised her performance.
Gu Li laughed and said thanks. She turned to Cheng Ying, “Teacher Cheng, what do you think?”
“A bet is a bet.”
Cheng Ying’s face turned sour.
If she had known that the girl was so good, she would not have made the bet. She had lost miserably.
Gu Li teased, “Don’t forget to post your apology on Weibo tonight. Remember to mention me.”
“Huh!”
Cheng Ying snorted coldly and stormed off in her high heels.
Gu Li went up to Xue Huaimo, handed the script back to him, and said, “Director Xue, here.”contemporary romance
Xue Huaimo stared at her intently, fell silent for a moment, then abruptly asked, “Would you be interested in playing the role of Tianwu?”
“Huh?”
Gu Li was taken aback. She didn’t expect him to show interest in her.
“You’re highly suitable.”
Xue Huaimo sincerely said.
Despite his temperamental nature, he was honest and was a director who valued talent. Hence, he didn’t want to let such a good talent slip away..
