Chapter 271

"Uh… then have you prepared any secret weapons to eliminate nervousness?"

This time, He Le didn't say a word, shook her head stiffly, and from beginning to end, didn't look directly at the lens once.

Gao Yi, who was in charge of the third group interview, saw this and decisively focused her attention on the fresher and more lovely Rong Qingya. A few minutes later, she barely asked He Le two more questions and went to interview the next contestant.

"There are still more than two hours before it's her turn, and she's already this nervous. She might faint before she even gets on stage later." When walking away, Gao Yi glanced at He Le impatiently. She had seen too many contestants with such poor psychological quality and no camera sense. Basically, she could pass a death sentence right here. For such contestants to come to the competition was simply a waste of time and adding trouble to others!

The competition proceeded in an orderly manner. Contestants left the preparation hall with their families one by one, and the originally crowded hall gradually showed empty seats here and there. Nervous emotions spread quietly among the contestants. From time to time, strange contestants looked at each other inadvertently, but they all revealed wary and guessing eyes uncontrollably.

Ten minutes, 600 seconds, I can, I can!

"Contestant 46, please follow the staff into the competition area. Contestant 47, please prepare."

"Lele-jie, I'm going first! I'll wait for you downstairs later! Good luck!"

"Mm! You too!" He Le curled her lips and clenched the number plate in her hand.

Her only stage experience was when she was awarded her degree at university graduation. However, on the stage of life, she had been forced to be a "focus figure" for more than a decade! Rumors that couldn't be clarified and only grew more intense, strangers full of malice and wantonly venting negative emotions, classmates, neighbors, and even teachers and relatives!

She had struggled and resisted, but facing the cruel dark side of human nature, her defense and explanation were like a riddled lone boat in a hurricane. Only by sinking silently into the seabed, letting herself go numb, and letting herself "see through" things, could she keep resentment from occupying her entire body and mind!

However, "Xiaoya" had returned, appearing in front of her again with that unique malice, reminding her what kind of nightmare, what kind of fear, and what kind of anger she was hiding in her heart!

Xiaoya, I really can't win against this world, I can only live humbly, but facing you…

I will never lose!

Author's Note:

The competition is not the focus~~ but it is an important carrier of the plot~~~ I have to control it well so as not to put the cart before the horse~~~~

How will the plot develop? Hehehehe~~~ Girl, don't guess Jiangshan's mind~~~~

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 302: Good Intentions, Bad Results

Carrying a firm fighting spirit, He Le followed the staff into the backstage waiting area. The faint sound of Qingya's light and agile voice in her ears made her lose her pace, and her heart suddenly became nervous.

"Please turn off your phone and put it in the storage bag, then draw a topic."

Number 3.

"This is script number 3, prepare for five minutes. Someone will come to call you in five minutes. Timing starts now."

The young girl who led the way finished speaking very formulaically and turned to leave. He Le then forced herself to calm down and look at the thin "Script Number 3" in her hand—a piece of paper.

At the moment she saw the play, He Le felt her brain go numb. "Gong×Ji," a palace drama that was very popular a few years ago. Even she, who rarely watched TV dramas, had heard of the great name of this drama. Yes, she hadn't watched it! She didn't even know what the identities and personalities of the people mentioned on this paper were!

What to do?

The requirement of the competition is for contestants to play two roles alone, singing against themselves, to examine the contestant's grasp of character personality, emotional control, and vocal skills in the shortest time. If this were normal, with a complete script in hand, she would have a bit of confidence. Even if this paper introduced the identities and personalities of both sides of the dialogue, she would have a way to start! But now, looking at the dozen lines of dialogue bare before her, she, she should say what? Tone, intonation, timbre, intensity, pitch?

The lines of dialogue became extremely strange in an instant, like a large group of alien characters coldly mocking her ignorance. She scanned the whole paper back and forth, and after a good while, she hadn't even read a single sentence into her brain! Turning her head to look at the clock on the wall, the blood-red numbers were jumping shockingly!

No time!

Biting her lip and staring at the paper trembling slightly in her hand, He Le read it silently and quickly, imagining the appearance, expressions, and moods of the two people while reading—

"Contestant 47, please come with me."

Her heart trembled violently, and He Le looked anxiously at the staff member wearing a headset.

"Don't be nervous, not a single quota has been used in this group yet. Perform well, there’s a great chance!" The young guy smiled brightly, encouraging her while leading the way.

"Did number 46 not pass either?" He Le became even more anxious upon hearing this.

"Uh… do you know each other?"

"Mm! She is my friend." He Le nodded heavily.

"Heh… then you can rest assured, she is still on stage now, but based on her performance, it’s a sure thing, so you must pass too! Advance to the top 100 with your friend!" At the end, the guy even clenched his fist and waved it, full of enthusiasm.

"……Mm, thank you." The kind treatment warmed He Le's heart, and her anxious mood slowly settled. When she saw Qingya pass successfully on stage, she finally revealed a faint smile, and before going on stage, she paid attention to the guy's work badge—Liu Jie from the directing group.

"Lele-jie, good luck!" Rong Qingya said while walking off the stage in the other direction, cheering for He Le.

"Mm!"

Walking to the center of the stage, standing still, and looking up, the dazzling lights overhead were like several scorching suns in the sky, making her eyes feel dizzy. Before she could see the crowd in the darkness ahead clearly, her body had already tightened crazily due to countless gazes!

Ten minutes, ten minutes, she could hold on, no problem!

"Introduce yourself first."

"……Hello judges, hello audience, my name is He Le, I am a fresh university graduate, I have just come into contact with dubbing work not long ago, and I am still an intern." Facing the three chair backs a few meters away, He Le deliberately accelerated her speech just to compress the time as much as possible!

"Hello Lele, then what did you study in university?"
