[Phew, Shen Jinghe, you really need to be professional. Don't let me be eliminated just because I'm your family's adopted daughter.]
Shen Jinghe was reviewing the information of several interviewees when he suddenly looked up after hearing Wen Yan's thoughts.
His movements were so exaggerated that even the director sitting next to him looked over at him.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jinghe looked at the director with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you hear me?"
"What did you hear? Their self-introductions?"
Because of this little incident, the self-introductions of the auditioning actors were all put on hold.
Wen Yan also found it a bit strange.
[What's going on? What is Shen Jinghe doing? Did he just glance at me? I haven't even started introducing myself yet! Is he planning to nip me in the bud?]
"And this time?" Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan, whose lips remained tightly closed, and asked the director, "Did you hear me this time?"
The director shook his head somewhat blankly: "No. Jinghe, if you're tired, go back and rest."
"No, I'm not tired! Let's continue."
This time, Shen Jinghe immediately fixed his gaze on Wen Yan's face.
Wen Yan looked at him for 0.01 seconds before immediately looking away, pretending not to know him at all.
[What's wrong with Shen Jinghe? Is he mentally unstable? He asked me out of the blue if I heard him, and then stared at me. It was kind of scary.]
Shen Jinghe: ...Who's scarier here?! She even dared to call him mentally unstable!
He has no mental problems at all!
He only went for psychological counseling last month after playing a psychopathic killer; he was perfectly healthy.
Shen Jinghe pinched the bridge of his nose, telling himself to focus on the work at hand and not to get distracted.
It was Wen Yan's turn to introduce herself quickly; she was the last one. She had barely finished speaking when the director called out two names.
"These two go out, the rest stay."
Although the director didn't say why, Wen Yan guessed it.
The two actresses I just spoke to had in common that they had undergone plastic surgery, and their facial expressions didn't seem very natural when they were talking.
Just when Wen Yan thought she was about to face the next test, Shen Jinghe suddenly spoke up.
"Wen Yan. I think she can leave too."
"Why?" Wen Yan blurted out.
The director was also puzzled: "What's the reason?"
"Because this Miss Wen looks down on people in our line of work. What were her intentions in coming here when she scorned acting?"
Wen Yan: ...speechless.
The director looked at Shen Jinghe, then at Wen Yan: "Do you two know each other?"
"I don't know him!" Wen Yan blurted out.
Judging from Shen Jinghe's attitude, even if he said they knew each other, he wouldn't let him get in through connections, so why bother?
"Mr. Shen, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? Although you are a household name in the entertainment industry and I am very familiar with your works, this is definitely the first time we've met! How could you say that?"
[Aaaaaah, this Shen Jinghe is going to kill me! In this situation, I don't even have a chance to apologize. Heaven and earth spirits, may the Supreme Lord Laozi appear and save me!]
Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow. Now he knows he was wrong, and he keeps calling me "your"? Too late.
However, her acting skills are really good. Even though she was clearly panicking inside, she didn't blush or skip a beat on the outside!
Lao Tzu, right?
Shen Jinghe gently curled the corners of his mouth: "You said you know my works like the back of your hand, then list them out for me, not one less."
Wen Yan: ...He seems serious, what should I do?!
What else could he do? He probably doesn't know that he actually wrote down all of his works, hahaha!
"Okay, then I will go through it in detail. Please correct me if I am wrong."
Wen Yan started memorizing Shen Jinghe's toothpaste commercial from when he first debuted, and continued memorizing all the way up to the crime film he had just finished filming.
She recited it flawlessly and fluently, and Shen Jinghe's face darkened as he listened to her.
The director had a feeling that the actress's delivery of lines must be quite good.
He laughed and said to Shen Jinghe, "You don't even know her, how do you know she looks down on our industry? I think she's a fan of yours, she remembers every single one of your works since your debut. Who do you take her for? You're so resentful."
Shen Jinghe: ...Who said I don't know her?
However, since Wen Yan had already denied it outright, Shen Jinghe naturally wouldn't rush to claim her as his adopted sister.
He could only say indifferently, "Someone unrelated to me. I didn't sleep well last night and I got it wrong."
The director didn't take the little incident too seriously, nodding and saying, "Alright, let's continue."
Next, the director tested their lines and acting skills.
Two of them were eliminated during the dialogue segment, leaving only four people in their group.
Finally, the director gave them a performance topic: a rural girl's first experience in a modern metropolis.
The four of them improvised, and some of their performances were quite exaggerated and stiff. Only Wen Yan performed the best, and even Shen Jinghe couldn't find any fault with her!
The director was a very decisive person; after the four people finished their performance, he directly called out the names of three of them.
"You've been eliminated. You can try your luck with other production teams. Wen Yan, go back and wait for our notification."
Wen Yan was delighted to hear the result: "Thank you, director, and thank you to all the judges!"
