Chapter 121: Auditioning

~7 min read 1,261 words

Lu Yan He was a bit nervous.

He wanted to say calmly that he wasn't nervous, but he didn't have that ability.

Acting?

He hadn't received that training, and he was completely confused.

Of course, the others weren't much better than him.

Luo Yuzhong gave the topic: "Now you are all third-year high school students. You failed an exam. At this time, your parents are waiting for you at home. How would you act? I'll give you three minutes to prepare, and then you will perform in turn."

Lu Yan He looked at Luo Yuzhong blankly.

Huh?

He turned to look at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

Li Zhibai had a "what the hell" expression, while Yan Liang was seriously pondering with his head down.

Time was tight, so Lu Yan He had to take a deep breath, calm down, and think about how to act.

Actually, for these young people, it wasn't really about acting skills.

Luo Yuzhong gave this topic to see the improvisational expression and comprehension of these few people.

Actors rely on talent to eat.

An improvisational topic could show the state of these young people.

Three minutes passed very quickly, and everyone's attention was on them.

Zhou Ping'an also came in.

He was sweating.

These artists of his had never had any acting experience.

Three minutes were up.

Luo Yuzhong said: "Alright, start."

Tu Song stood on the far left, being the first.

The others moved to the side.

Tu Song stood in place with his head down, not daring to look at anyone directly, bit his lip, looked up at the front again, walked forward hesitantly, but didn't dare to take a second step, then kicked his shoes, turned around, sighed, walked forward a few steps, squatted down, and buried his head in his knees.

The whole venue was very quiet.

His performance was full of greenness and unnatural places, but it made everyone at the scene watch it.

Compared to the people who were arranged for improvisational performances before, he acted much better.

There were no lines, and no exaggerated expressions, but it made people empathize and very accurately feel his state of failing the exam and not daring to enter the house.

"Good, okay, the next one is you." Luo Yuzhong pointed at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was named, and he was extremely nervous.

Lu Yan He patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be nervous, at worst you just act badly."

Yan Liang walked out with a face full of frustration, his face full of anxiety and nervousness.

It was unknown whether it was his real state at this time or if he was acting, but it happened to accurately give the state of a third-year high school student who failed the exam.

Yan Liang took out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

"Hello, Mom." The moment he connected the call, he tilted his head, and a look of self-blame appeared on his face.

"I failed the exam." He said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry." Yan Liang's voice was even smaller, turning into a final mumble-style sob. "I will definitely study hard and do well next time."

A tear fell from Yan Liang's eye socket.

Lu Yan He and the others looked at Yan Liang in surprise, shocked by Yan Liang's sudden performance.

Mainly in their eyes, being able to cry directly was an amazing ability.

Too amazing!

Even Vice President Ma and Zhou Ping'an were shocked by Yan Liang's performance.

Tears on the spot?!

Amazing.

Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian watched Yan Liang finish his performance with a straight face, bowed to them, and then retreated to the side.

Luo Yuzhong nodded. "Okay, next one, you."

He pointed at Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai felt that the pressure of performing after Yan Liang was huge.

He scratched his head, feeling that the performance bridge he had designed just now had no novelty at all.

Cheng Hai sighed and said, "What should I do?"

He looked up, looked at the sky blankly, and then rubbed his face.

He turned to look at Lu Yan He and the others and said: "Why are you guys not leaving?"

Lu Yan He and the others were surprised by Cheng Hai's sudden question, not knowing whether to answer.

But fortunately, Cheng Hai didn't need them to answer.

"Damn, did you all fail the exam?" He widened his eyes, suddenly realizing.

Cheng Hai suddenly laughed again. "Since you all failed the exam, I'm not so worried."

Luo Yuzhong slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

For this kind of topic, it was too easy for five people to act the same way.

Nervous, uneasy.

To be honest, the previous Tu Song and Yan Liang had already acted enough.

If the people behind still acted like this, it would make people aesthetically fatigued.

Unless someone behind them had the empathy ability of a Best Actor and could act more deeply.

Cheng Hai brought out a different way of acting. Although there were logical flaws, it showed his good quality—blank, helpless, shocked, grinning... switching between several states in just one minute, and so naturally, this was a good quality for young actors.

Luo Yuzhong pointed at Li Zhibai.

"It's your turn."

Li Zhibai was the least nervous of the five.

He didn't care about this audition at all.

He put one hand in his pocket, the other hanging by his side, walking toward Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian in a cynical manner, humming a song while walking. That arrogant and indifferent look didn't show any signs of failing the exam.

A group of people looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was doing.

Only Zhou Ping'an covered his face silently, thinking, this guy wouldn't have misheard the topic, right?

With Li Zhibai's notorious performance in the past, it was very possible.

The next second, Li Zhibai walked in front of Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian, and the hand that wasn't in his pocket made a flicking gesture in front of them.

"The exam results are out. The teacher asked for a signature, remember to sign, don't forget."

Li Zhibai finished explaining as if he didn't care, then turned and walked a few steps, made a gesture of opening a door, and walked in.

Arrogant as hell.

Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian were both stunned, especially Jiang Yuqian, who looked at Li Zhibai in surprise, and it took two seconds before she reacted, laughed, and shook her head speechlessly.

"He's acting as himself," Jiang Yuqian commented.

Luo Yuzhong also laughed.

He didn't expect that this group would give him so many surprises.

"Quite a few surprises. It's your turn, Lu Yan He." Luo Yuzhong took the initiative to call Lu Yan He's name.

This was also the first name Luo Yuzhong had called since he had been auditioning for so long.

This sign was not good. Vice President Ma immediately frowned.

However, the performance of several people just now was quite good, which made Vice President Ma feel a little relieved.

Even if Lu Yan He acted well, with Luo Yuzhong's reaction just now, he seemed satisfied with Yan Liang and the others too.

Lu Yan He was about to start performing.

In the three minutes just now, he had thought of several ways to perform, but after watching the performance of Yan Liang and the others, all the ways he thought of had been acted out and couldn't be repeated.

His mind was blank, and he looked at the scene blankly. ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
