Chapter 80: Eating melon progress 80%
The audition sequence was a big one.
The tutor played by Su Lan saved the prince, but was stabbed by the men of the second prince's uncle, Prince An.
She received an invitation from the princess to practice piano at her home, but it was actually a life-threatening appointment.
She arrived injured and saw her former student, Princess Ancheng, coming to greet her. She spoke calmly, "Sir, you are well-versed in poetry and literature, and you are thoughtful and discerning. How could you not see the path before you? Now that you still have a chance, what would you like to choose?"
She raised her eyes slightly, "Guess?"
The princess wasn't satisfied with this answer. "Yes, I was the one who brought the news that day. The Second Prince is my cousin, and I'll marry him sooner or later. If you persist, I won't be able to keep you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of archers appeared from the eaves, with their arrows pointing directly at the tutor.
She found herself surrounded, but she wasn't afraid at all. She even sat down to play the zither. "How about I give you another zither lesson?"
The princess nodded and said, since the tutor was about to die, let her play one last song.
She sat down to play the piano, calm and composed.
The sound of the piano is like the dripping of mountain spring water, stirring the heartstrings.
Suddenly it became rapid and dense, like a violent storm.
Then it rushes to a climax, like the deafening sound of a war drum.
The sound of the piano seems to involve thousands of troops and weapons clashing.
As the sound of the piano fell, the princess was stabbed to the ground.
She walked step by step to the princess, her dark eyes filled with fierceness and determination.
"The Second Prince manipulated the government and the country, forming cliques for personal gain, committing corruption and favoritism, leading to numerous wrongful convictions, oppressing the people, and being insatiably greedy, causing great suffering to the people."
"Prince An colluded with the Second Prince to assassinate the Crown Prince. He betrayed his brotherly love, violated the laws of the land, and completely lost his humanity."
There seemed to be a raging fire behind her, and every word she said was resounding, "Today, we will wipe out the rebels and leave no one behind."
After saying that, she drew out the blade and struck the princess directly in the heart.
She didn't say another word.
The person in front of her was her most beloved student in the past. She taught her step by step to respect herself and to have her own world.
Seeing that she was well versed in poetry and literature, and understood the affairs of state, she was granted the title of Princess, and became both her teacher and friend.
Now, the princess has betrayed her trust, assassinated the prince, and betrayed her teacher and ancestors.
The students she personally cultivated were also completed by her own hands.
Seeing this, everyone got goosebumps.
This is not the usually gentle and lovely Su Lan, this is simply the ruthless and decisive Taifu himself!
Everyone was immersed in Su Lan's aura.
Wise and intelligent, able to adapt to emergencies, with the courage of a general and the power of iron and blood.
After more than ten seconds of silence, someone finally remembered to applaud.
The director led the applause.
He thought Su Lan would give her a surprise, but he didn't expect the surprise to be so big. She was simply the perfect woman in his mind!
"She's never played the female lead?" The producer was a little incredulous and asked the assistant beside him, "Check which company she's with and when her contract expires."
This acting skill will become a hit on the Internet soon.
The director called the staff, "Call the second group in."
The first two people were eliminated directly, and now they have to choose between the second and third groups.
Xu Xingluo walked in with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking confident.
She performed exceptionally well today, with careful planning and the cooperation of veteran actors, and was in great shape.
After the performance, both the director and the producer praised her.
Xu Xingluo believed that the female lead would definitely be hers.
She looked disdainful and rolled her eyes at Su Lan. Her peripheral vision found the live camera and she quickly switched to a well-behaved and humble look.
The acting teacher next to the director began to comment, "Xu Xingluo, you put a lot of design into your performance. The props and the arrangement are all excellent. The performance is gorgeous, if a little contrived."
"In the same scene, Su Lan's calmness in the early stages, and his righteousness, determination, and ruthlessness in the later stages, as well as the complex emotions of killing his apprentice, were all perfectly executed. The dramatic tension was instantly created, and I felt more immersed in the play..."
Su Lan nodded in thanks.
When Xu Xingluo heard the negative review, he smiled awkwardly and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.
She turned and looked at the review section.
The casting director Yan Chen who had given her a backdoor was gone, and a strange woman was sitting in her place.
The strange woman began to speak.
"Xu Xingluo, overall good, but the details can be improved."
"For example, in the scene where you were ambushed by archers, I noticed you kept looking off into the distance. I think you were acting out the archer's reaction to being killed by the ambushers, but I felt it was unnecessary. The heroine was confident, so there was no need for you to keep staring."
"Another thing, the heroine was injured, but you didn't act it out."
"On the other hand, Su Lan handled these two details very well."
Su Lan responded with a smile, thanking him for the recognition.
After hearing two negative reviews in a row, Xu Xingluo's face turned pale and his smile became more and more awkward.
Xu Xingluo’s fans were posting comments in the live broadcast room.
[Who is this woman? She's commenting on us, Lolo. Isn't it normal to look at the fighting sounds?]
[Could it be that they are some staff members who were captured just to make up the numbers?]
Su Lan's thoughts were heard in the comments, [This is the screenwriter of "Phoenix City" and also the screenwriter of "Xijiangyue".]
The style of the comment section changed instantly!
[Oh my god! This is the first time the screenwriter has appeared. Take my knees! "Xijiang Yue" is so good! The male lead, Gu Yanzhi's (pillow) is still on my bed.]
[The screenwriter is kind and compassionate, you are right. Just be a little less aggressive this time and be gentler...]
[I think her performance is quite reasonable. Su Lan's acting is indeed much better than Xu Xingluo's! Whether it's the appeal or the details, it's overwhelming!]
The casting team discovered the oversight and quickly added introductory subtitles to the screenwriter.
Then the director spoke with a smile on his face.
"Let's talk about Xu Xingluo first. He put a lot of thought into his performance, especially in the piano scene. He added a lot of eye contact, and his emotions went from [pretending to be scared] to [watching the show with pride]. He used his brain a lot, and he's much better than actors who don't use their brains."
"But...actors can easily go astray when adding to the story. If they [pretend to be scared] too much, they become a bit dramatic. If they [watch the show with pride] too much, the scale becomes small. This is a royal tutor, not a young lady living deep in the inner chambers."
"She values human life, justice, the restoration of order, desperate counterattacks, and the master-disciple relationship, rather than just watching the show from the sidelines."
"Su Lan showed everything I wanted, very accurately and vividly, better than I expected."
According to the competition rules, the staff began to select barrages and project them onto the big screen.
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room exceeded 10 million, and the barrage on the screen scrolled so quickly that it was impossible to see clearly.
The staff pressed the screenshot button and the current barrage was captured on the screen.
Makino: [Sister Lan is so beautiful!]
Little Tail: [I swiped over and thought I was dazzled, but now I see my Lanbao!]
Lan Mutou: [I can’t really explain it, I just feel like Lan Lan’s acting was really good.]
Whose cat chases its tail: [I think Xu Xingluo performed better! Xu Xingluo must win.]
Haha Honeydew Melon: [Hahahaha… I can’t win at all, okay?]
In order to take care of the actors' mood, the staff read out a barrage praising Su Lan and another barrage praising Xu Xingluo.
Xu Xingluo specifically mentioned the fan's name: "Thank you [whose cat is chasing its tail]."
Su Lan's heartfelt comments: [You're welcome.]
I am the one praising you.
Otherwise I would feel embarrassed if everyone praised me.
The staff pulled out the voting results and announced everyone's favorite female lead.
"Xu Xingluo!"
Xu Xingluo was a little dazed when he heard his name, thinking it was a miracle. He was about to stand up to receive the award, but he heard the second half of the sentence, "Received 13% of the audience votes!"
The staff member continued, "The most perfect female lead in the audience's heart is Su Lan!"
Xu Xingluo's face fell.
The director announced: "Welcome Su Lan to play the leading female role in "Phoenix City". We look forward to your wonderful performance!"
Everyone applauded in unison.
Su Lan stepped forward and shook hands with the director and others, reaching a cooperation, and the flash lights "clicked" on them.
The live broadcast room received continuous positive reviews.
Open auditions, no cheating for young or old.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Lan’s acting is superb and she deserves the award.
At the same time, the veteran actors who acted with Xu Xingluo gave delicate and precise performances and were invited to participate in the filming.
Qiao Yin, who played the princess, also got the role.
Only Xu Xingluo was left aside and no one noticed.
Later, after being reminded by the staff, the director remembered Xu Xingluo.
The director thought about it and decided that with Xu Xingluo’s level, she couldn’t play the leading female role, but it would be okay to arrange her to be a supporting female role.
However, Xu Xingluo approached Yan Chen through the back door, but turned around and sold Yan Chen out. He felt that this person was very troublesome and did not want to cooperate with such a person.
Don't make the crew a mess.
The director decided not to play Xu Xingluo and asked her, "I heard that you only take the female lead role and don't play anything else?"
Xu Xingluo was speechless for a moment and stuck where he was.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she gave a vague answer, "There are other good roles. I'll try again next time."
She didn't want to play a supporting role to Su Lan. If she acted in this play, she would remember the humiliation of today every time she watched it.
But unexpectedly, she missed the hottest drama of the year.
At this moment, Su Lan, the female lead of this play, was watching Xu Xingluo's eyes from a distance and eating melons.
The gossips about Yan Chen include "Paid Casting Gossip", "Paid Good Words Gossip", "Paid Slander Gossip", and "Paid Child Star Gossip"...
Yan Chen is really good at making money.
He was discovered by Xu Xingluo and started to do whatever she said.
By the way, where is Yan Chen?
It turned out that he was fired, and it was Xu Xingluo who exposed him personally and sent him away directly.
It’s what he deserves. Yan Chen took so much dirty money and is a rotten apple in the circle.
After successfully auditioning, Su Lan took a bus home.
I was shocked when I arrived at the door.
Is this still her home?
The houses and the outside world are filled with express delivery, mountains and seas of boxes...
"Gu Yanzhi!" Su Lan shouted his name towards the house.
The next second, I popped up and stood on the roof.
There are even delivery boxes on the roof...
Gu Yanzhi peeked out from behind the delivery box. "Congratulations on getting the role. I knew you'd be fine. Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Su Lan: “…”
Who gives gifts like this? There's no place to stay at home.
Gu Yanzhi listened to the advice of the small system and decided not to be tactful anymore.
Be direct and generous.
He took out all the collections that Su Lan had boasted about before...
Gu Yanzhi jumped down from the roof, landed steadily, and opened the box. "Look, you said beautiful meteorites, vases, and oil paintings..."
Su Lan: “…”
[I was just being polite, but you're so rude that you moved everything here for me?]
"dislike?"
Looking at Su Lan's attitude, Gu Yanzhi suddenly felt a little regretful. It was all the bad advice from the little system.
Su Lan understood his good intentions and didn't want to discourage him, so she pointed to an oil painting at hand and said, "This is enough. You can take the others."
The intelligence system cheered, "Brother, she loves you so much. This is the painting of you meeting at the school gate."
Gu Yanzhi curled his lips slightly, "Okay."
Only then did Su Lan see what painting he was referring to.
[She stood by the road at the school gate, looked up slightly, and her headphones fell. Gu Yanzhi picked them up for her and handed them to her.]
Su Lan: “…”
I didn't pay close attention before, it turns out that she and Gu Yanzhi had met so early?
She doesn't remember anything.
Looking back now, this moment of passing by is really amazing.
In the next few days, Su Lan didn't see Gu Yanzhi and didn't know what he was busy with.
She felt a little anxious and worried, and was happy to see him.
The few days I haven't seen feel like years. I wish I could pull leaves to count the days.
Su Lan murmured to himself, "Could this be love?"
"Yes, that's it."
A gentle voice sounded.
The author has something to say:
This chapter is really hard for me, haha, it takes a lot of effort for a modern author to write ancient stories
The plot of "Phoenix City" is purely fictional and cannot be verified at all (dog head)
For the audition part, I refer to the variety shows "Actors Please Take Your Place" and "Acting School", the book "Actor's Self-cultivation", the B station video "How Actors Improve Their Acting Skills", etc.
Bow, see you tomorrow~
