Chapter 122 Audition

Lu Yanhe was a little nervous.

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

acting?

He had never received this kind of training and looked completely bewildered.

Of course, no one else was much better than him.

Luo Yuzhong posed the question: "Now you are all senior high school students. You failed an exam. Your parents are waiting for you at home. How would you act it out? You have three minutes to prepare. Then you will act it out in turn."

Lu Yanhe stared blankly at Luo Yuzhong.

ha?

He turned to look at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

Li Zhibai had a "what the heck?" look on his face, while Yan Liang was looking down, pondering seriously.

With time running out, Lu Yanhe could only take a deep breath, calm down, and think about how to act.

For these young people, acting skills are simply not a factor.

Luo Yuzhong set this question to test the participants' performance and comprehension.

Actors rely on their talent to make a living.

A single impromptu question can reveal the state of these young people.

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

Zhou Pingan also came in.

He was sweating bullets.

None of us artists have ever had acting experience.

Three minutes are up.

Luo Yuzhong said, "Alright, let's begin."

Tu Song was standing on the far left, and was the first one.

Everyone else stepped aside.

Tu Song stood there with his head down, not daring to look directly at anyone. He bit his lip, looked up at what was in front of him, hesitated, took a step forward, but didn't dare to take a second step. Then he kicked off his shoes, turned around, sighed, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and buried his head in his knees.

The entire room was quiet.

His performance was full of awkwardness and unnaturalness, but it captivated everyone in the audience.

He performed much better than those who were previously assigned to perform on the spot.

Without a single line or any exaggerated performance, he made the audience empathize with him, accurately conveying his state of mind after failing the exam and being afraid to go home.

"Okay, you're next." Luo Yuzhong pointed at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was called out and immediately became extremely nervous.

Lu Yanhe patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, the worst that can happen is that you mess up the performance."

Yan Liang walked out looking utterly defeated, his face filled with unease and tension.

It's unclear whether this was his true state or an act, but it perfectly captured the state of a high school senior who failed his exam.

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

"Hello, Mom." The moment he answered the phone, he tilted his head, a look of self-reproach on his face.

"I failed the exam," he whispered.

"I'm sorry." Yan Liang's voice became even softer, turning into a final, muffled sob. "I'll definitely try harder to do well on the next exam."

A tear fell from Yan Liang's eye.

Lu Yanhe and the others looked at Yan Liang in surprise, shocked by his sudden performance.

In their eyes, being able to cry directly is a remarkable ability.

That's amazing!

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

She shed tears on the spot?!

That's impressive.

Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian watched without changing their expressions as Yan Liang finished his performance, bowed to them, and then stepped back to the side.

Luo Yuzhong nodded. "Okay, you're next."

He pointed at Chenghai.

Cheng Hai felt immense pressure to perform after Yan Liang.

He scratched his head, feeling that the performance he had just designed was completely unoriginal.

Cheng Hai sighed, and then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, blurted out, "What should we do?"

He looked up at the sky with a blank expression, then rubbed his face.

He turned to look at Lu Yanhe and the others and said, "Why aren't you all leaving?"

Lu Yanhe and the others were taken aback by Cheng Hai's sudden conversation and were unsure whether to respond.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai didn't need them to talk to him.

"Damn, I bombed all the exams?" He stared wide-eyed, suddenly realizing.

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

Luo Yuzhong slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

For this kind of question, it's too easy for five people to act out the same thing.

Nervous and uneasy.

To be honest, the previous actors, Tu Song and Yan Liang, have already given their performances quite a bit.

If the next generation continues to perform like this, it will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue.

Unless someone behind them has the empathy of an Oscar-winning actor and can portray the character even more convincingly.

Cheng Hai presented a different acting style. Although there were some logical flaws, he demonstrated his excellent qualities. He switched between several states in just one minute, such as confusion, helplessness, shock, and joking around, and did so so naturally. This is a very good quality for a young actor.

Luo Yuzhong pointed at Li Zhibai.

"Your turn."

Li Zhibai was the least nervous of the five.

He didn't care about the audition at all.

With one hand in his pocket and the other hanging limply at his waist, he strolled casually toward Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian, humming a song as he went. His carefree and nonchalant manner showed no signs of having failed the exam.

A group of people stared at him in surprise, wondering what he was doing.

Zhou Pingan silently covered his face, thinking to himself, "Could this guy have misheard the question?"

Given Li Zhibai's past record of misdeeds, this is highly likely.

The next second, Li Zhibai walked up to Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian, and made a waving gesture with his hand that wasn't in his pocket.

"The exam results are out. The teacher asked us to sign them. Remember to sign them, don't forget."

Li Zhi finished giving this instruction as if he didn't care at all, then turned around, took a few steps, made a gesture as if opening a door, and went inside.

He's incredibly arrogant.

Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian were both stunned, especially Jiang Yuqian, who stared at Li Zhibai in surprise. After a couple of seconds, she reacted, laughed, and shook her head speechlessly.

"He's really playing himself," Jiang Yuqian remarked.

Luo Yuzhong also smiled.

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

"There are quite a few surprises. It's your turn, Lu Yanhe." Luo Yuzhong called out Lu Yanhe's name.

This was the first name that Luo Yuzhong had called out after so many interviews.

This was a bad sign. Vice President Ma immediately frowned.

However, the performance of the others was quite good, which reassured Vice President Ma a little.

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

Lu Yanhe is about to begin his performance.

In the three minutes that just passed, he had thought of several ways to perform, but after seeing the performances of Yan Liang and the others, all the ways that Lu Yanhe had thought of had already been performed and could not be repeated.

His mind went blank, and he stared blankly at the scene.
