Shen Lian added half of her points to her figure and the other half to her charm. Although there was no visible change, she seemed to be enchanted, as if a soft-focus filter had been added to her.
Song Hansheng's gaze toward Shen Lian grew increasingly infatuated... He entered the entertainment industry because of Shen Lian, and she was indeed becoming more and more perfect every day.
"Ah Sheng?" Chen Lian called out to Song Hansheng.
Song Hansheng then came to his senses, and when he realized that he had been acting like a pervert in front of the camera, his face couldn't help but turn red.
[See? The Crown Prince's coldness and sharp tongue have absolutely no effect on Shen Lian!]
Ah, even a blushing prince is adorable!
Chen Lian said softly, "Bai Yan and Chen Chen left together, so our group is short two people. Teacher Liu Yan just discussed it with me and is willing to let Lulu join our group. How about you team up with Lulu?"
Song Hansheng did not refuse.
Lulu, who had just entered, looked at Chen Lian with a mixture of nervousness and excitement: "Teacher Chen Lian...you, you are my fan, oh no, I am your fan, I like you so much!"
Compared to the argumentative comments that filled the screen just now, things are much more peaceful now.
[Lulu is definitely a fangirl!]
[Haha, who wouldn't love a goddess as perfect as Chen Lian? Strangely, I think Chen Lian is even more beautiful today than before!]
[+1!]
...
Just as Bai Yan had thought, most of the scripts with compelling characters and easy roles had already been picked over, so she had no choice but to find a partner again.
But Song Hansheng is the Crown Prince. He said those things on the live broadcast camera, and Bai Yan not only offended the Crown Prince, but also had her scandal exposed. Now there's a huge uproar online.
For security reasons, no one dared to talk to her.
"Bai Yan, do you want to have a second round with me?" Lu Zhiyu walked over at some point.
He started to hum and haw.
"You want to team up with me again?" Bai Yan laughed, pointing to herself. "Aren't you afraid of being the least popular person?"
She didn't believe Lu Zhiyu was unaware of what had just happened.
Lu Zhi waved his hand, and seeing that the camera was no longer there, he muttered, "What's there to be afraid of? What kind of bullshit prince is he? When he talks nonsense, it's considered genuine, but when I say something wrong, it's considered outspoken and brainless. I'm just..."
Lu Zhiyu stopped halfway through her sentence and looked at Bai Yan: "Do you want to team up with me?"
"You haven't found a partner?" Bai Yan asked.
It's not that no one chose the same role as Lu Zhiyu, it's just that as soon as they entered, they saw Lu Zhiyu had run away again. Lu Zhiyu's acting is bad and her temper is bad; preconceived notions can't be changed in just one scene.
Besides, it's obvious to everyone that the focus of the performance in the first round was on Bai Yan... Lu Yuzhi was at most just playing himself.
“I thought their acting was bad, so I didn’t agree,” Lu Zhiyu said.
Bai Yan asked, "How many people worked on your script?"
Hearing her say that, Lu Zhi knew there was hope: "Three people, just enough for two female roles and one male role." She then glanced at Chen Chen: "She can come in too."
Bai Yan smiled slightly and extended her hand: "Then I wish us a successful second collaboration."
Lu Zhi tried to suppress the corners of his lips: "Yes, the second collaboration went smoothly."
Most of the villa scenes were everyday life shots, with the day of the public performance being the peak of viewership. Therefore, the practice room scenes were not broadcast live; instead, interesting or sensational behind-the-scenes footage was released to generate viewership.
Lu Zhiyu chose a classic modern idol drama, and the mentor for this drama was Liu Yan, the one who gave their group four points in the first round.
"I suspect she's targeting me?" Lu Zhiyu muttered. "She does manage the blocking and acting for the other two groups, but she ignores our group."
Bai Yan lowered her gaze slightly. She probably knew why. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Why do you care about her? Look at your own face in the camera lens... Lu Yuzhi, let me ask you, why do you look at the girl you like with the expression of looking at an enemy?"
Lu Zhi lowered her head guiltily, but still stubbornly said, "If you don't act opposite me and let her do it, I can't get into character."
Bai Yan tapped his head; she had figured out what was wrong with Lu Yuzhi.
First, his basic acting skills are too poor; second, he has too much of a camera presence and always tries to look cool, not realizing that a man's true handsomeness lies in not being aware of it.
But his weaknesses were too obvious, and it would be difficult to improve them in a short time. So Bai Yan said, "Go and record what you think is your most handsome expression in front of the camera. Record several clips."
Lu Zhiyu: "Showing off in front of the mirror, this is too much..."
"Are you going or not?" Bai Yan asked him with a smile.
"Go away!" Lu Zhiyu turned and left.
"Sister Bai, what about me?" Chen Chen blinked and looked at Bai Yan.
Chen Chen is a former child star, and her basic skills are far superior to Lu Yuzhi's... but she lacks the natural charm that someone her age should have; she seems to be constrained by some kind of framework.
"Chen Chen, do you like acting?" Bai Yan asked.
Chen Chen's big eyes showed a moment of confusion, and she shook her head: "I don't know." She started working as a child model when she was five years old.
Her father said she had to work hard to earn money to support the family so that her younger brother could go abroad to study next year.
Looking into the little girl's innocent eyes, Bai Yan sighed softly, "How about we read this script first? Maybe you'll like the story after you finish reading it?"
Chen Chen nodded emphatically: "Okay."
...
The rehearsal time for the second public performance was longer than the first, lasting five days.
Tomato TV has a large viewership and a wide audience, so no one who participates in this program wants to be eliminated in the second round. They all put in their best effort to get in line.
