This is a bit tricky.

Shu Han's understanding of the script was not much different from his own. If he were to perform it, he probably wouldn't be much different from Shu Han.

what to do?

No, he's actually at a disadvantage right now. If he can't differentiate himself from Shu Han in terms of understanding the script, he might really miss out on this role.

What kind of performance should he give?

Is he a wrongly accused husband, a murderer covering up the truth of a killing, or... a liar?

A...liar?

yes!

Xiao He's eyes lit up.

Since the audition version they have is a lie told by Seo Yu-soo, is it possible that the story in this script is the same lie that Seo Yu-soo is telling the investigators in the interrogation room right now?

Because it's a lie, the timeline of this script is exceptionally vague and linear. Because it's a lie, Shu Yuxiu conceals everything he actually did, portraying himself as an inspirational, hardworking, and incredibly lucky protagonist!

What kind of person is a conman who dares to distort the truth and tell lies in front of the investigation team?

What is his true personality like?

What are the differences between the Shu Yuxiu in "The Lie" and the real Shu Yuxiu?

Xiao He had already made up his mind. He calmly switched places with Shu Han, then slowly sat down in the chair.

"I really didn't do this."

Shu Yuxiu raised his eyes, his expression helpless and bitter. He neither made a scene nor showed any remorse. Only when he mentioned his lover did a hint of longing and sorrow appear in his eyes. He stated a fact calmly and slowly: "My lover and I have always been very loving. How could I possibly kill her..."

Unlike Shu Han's performance, which was full of rich layers, Xiao He's performance was calm from beginning to end. His words did not seem to be defending himself, but rather he was expressing his feelings for his deceased lover to a stranger. There was no anger at being doubted, but rather a sense of despondency that was greater than the death of his heart.

Shu Han, standing to the side, had a somewhat serious expression and was secretly wondering to himself.

Could this kid have missed the problem with the script? Why is he still acting according to the script that Shu Yuxiu is "innocent"?

His preceding performance should have provided sufficient hints...

The expressions of the people on stage varied.

Although Xiao He delivered the same lines as Shu Han, his tone and emotions were completely different, making it a completely different performance style from Shu Han's!

Ning Jiaqi's face remained indifferent, Zhuang Hongyi's lips curled up slightly, while the assistant director in charge of rehearsing lines with Xiao He stared at Xiao He in a daze, a thought flashing through his mind—he must love his wife very much!

Look how much pain he's in!

But then the assistant director remembered that he still had lines to say, so he quickly picked up where Xiao He left off, stammering, "You, what did you do? You really don't know?"

"It really wasn't me. I've said it countless times, why don't you still believe me?"

Shu Yuxiu sighed deeply, seemingly troubled by the police's suspicions, but he showed no anger and calmly accepted them.

He looked at the person in charge in front of him, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, clasped his hands together, and casually placed them on his lap, his gaze sincere and open: "Then please continue your investigation!"

"Do you think we didn't investigate you beforehand?"

“I know, I have never doubted your abilities, so I believe that only you can clear my name.”

Shu Yuxiu stared at the person in charge, his eyes gleaming with trust, his tone steady and solemn, as if he were entrusting his entire fortune to someone: "Please!"

The assistant director felt a sense of responsibility as he looked at Shu Yuxiu with trust, but he immediately froze on the spot—he was there to interrogate Shu Yuxiu! How could Shu Yuxiu have placed such high hopes on him for no reason?

"You should think about it again."

Yu Xiu is such a con artist! We can't let him fool us!

The assistant director hastily uttered those words, then turned away in a flustered manner, ending his conversation where he had been led by the nose.
