Or maybe it was because she looked so pitiful.

After being persuaded by Shi Ruyan for a while, Sister Pei negotiated with her boss and the termination fee in the new contract sent to her was reduced to 2 million.

It was an astronomical figure for Shi Ruyan before.

But now, she has a little money.

Although the pay for newcomers is generally not high, the heroine in director Dai Zhuoqing's movie should be paid, at least a million, right?

As soon as she gets the pay, she can terminate her contract with Fuhua.

Then she will be free.

So, this is her last chance!

Without even listening to what the old professor said on the podium, Shi Ruyan took a deep breath and simulated the scene of meeting Director Dai in the afternoon in her mind.

After two classes, the others went to the cafeteria chatting and laughing.

Shi Ruyan ran back to the dormitory and started searching in the closet.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the student auditorium in the southeast corner of the Imperial Film Academy was already packed with people.

At a glance, almost all the freshmen had arrived.

Some of them came during their sophomore year, and none of them have signed with any agency yet.

There were almost no people in my junior and senior years.

But this is normal.

Students in the third and fourth years of the Performance Department of Imperial Film Academy either have excellent external qualities, and almost all of them have signed contracts and made their debut in their sophomore year.

Or they are not in such a hurry to enter the entertainment industry and want to master all the professional knowledge so that they can take the route of being a powerful actor in the future.

Whether it is the former or the latter, they don't want opportunities like auditioning for newcomers.

"Students who have filled out the registration form please hand it to the staff, take seats in the back row in an orderly manner, and keep quiet throughout the process!"

Everyone received a form before entering the auditorium.

Looking around, Dai Zhuoqing smiled at the students, "Don't be nervous, just treat me as your acting teacher. Let's meet and chat for a while, it won't take up too much of your time."

As one of the few female directors in the circle, Dai Zhuoqing's friendliness quickly calmed the tension of the boys and girls.

As the staff called out their names, the students were given a piece of text as they went up to the stage one by one.

Some are passages from the original work, asking students to explain the character's inner conflicts at the time.

Some of them were simply lines from the script, and he was asked to perform them on the spot.

There was no camera, but it looked like a simple audition scene.

In the corner of the last row of the auditorium, Shi Ruyan was wearing an earphone in her right ear.

While watching the performance on stage, paying attention to Dai Zhuoqing's expression.

While listening to the TV series playing in the headphones, Shi Ruyan quickly lowered her head when the heroine's voice sounded.

During the two lunch breaks, she took out several TV series of the same type that Dai Zhuoqing had filmed and briefly looked through them.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Shi Ruyan knew that this was one of the few opportunities she could seize.

Several boys and girls went up one after another, and their performances were mediocre. Their appearance was far from that of a campus idol drama.

There was a gleam of confidence in Shi Ruyan's eyes.

The next moment, I heard my name.

"Shi Ruyan?"

"arrive!"

A crisp response was heard in the auditorium, and Shi Ruyan stood up and walked towards the stage with her head held high.
