Chapter 399: Excellent Performance
Next it was Yang Huayue's turn to audition, and Yan Tong asked her to act out the scene where Princess Xingping begged her father not to send her to marry.
Yang Huayue gathered her emotions for a moment, and looked towards the air on one side, as if there was someone there. Tears welled up in her eyes quickly, and she said to the air,
"Father, I can't understand why I ended up marrying in place of the eldest princess? You know very well how vicious and cruel Maodun Shanyi is. He killed his father and mother, and even his brothers and sisters. He is a man without conscience..." She lowered her eyes to hide the surging emotions in her eyes, and only tears fell one by one.
"How dare you agree with the Emperor's will? The Emperor knows how to love his daughter, so why don't you have any compassion for me? You are pushing me to a dead end."
The most basic skill for an actor is to be able to immerse oneself in a role no matter when and where. Even if there are onlookers all around you, or the lines are awkward and clichéd, you can still perform calmly and confidently, as if you can empathize with the characters.
Yang Huayue herself possesses excellent acting skills, her lines are well-articulated and full of emotion, and she is a standard academic actress. She has been praised by many directors. With Liu Lan's guidance, even though Yang Huayue is dressed in modern clothes, her speaking posture and expression are very much like an ancient woman, and her tears come so suddenly and are so real. Just a vibrato of her crying voice can easily stir people's emotions and make Yan Tong think of the scenes in the script.
Yan Tong was suddenly entrusted with an important task by He Lushen. He had just taken on the job and had only read the script twice. He had not had time to think about how to make this movie.
Yang Huayue’s performance touched his heart, and he felt that this was how Princess Xingping should feel.
Although Yan Tong is a third-rate TV drama director, he also possesses basic directorial qualities and can easily identify who is a good actor from body movements and facial expressions.

And Yang Huayue is a good actor!
His fingers tapped on the table involuntarily. He felt awkward and embarrassed. He hadn't slept well in the past two days because of the actors' affairs. After signing the director's contract, he finally understood why such a good script that other directors didn't take was given to him. It turned out that pie in the sky didn't fall out of thin air.
All the main male characters are related to each other and involve the interests of all parties, which is fine, but the only female lead is like a hot potato. On the first day, a shareholder of Huaguang Media called him personally and asked him to give the role to Feng Qingyu.
Yan Tong is a very cowardly person, timid and afraid of things, otherwise he would not have been a director for so many years without a single representative work to show off.
He agreed because he was afraid of the other party's power. However, just one day later, he received another call from He Lushen, who assigned Fu Feiqian to play the leading female role.
Yan Tong was in tears. He didn't dare to offend the shareholders, let alone He Lushen. In order to protect himself, he thought of this public audition method.
Let Feng Qingyu and Fu Feiqian compete with their acting skills. He won't serve anyone, and whoever gets the female lead in the end can't be blamed. He Lushen also approves of his approach, because Feng Qingyu will definitely lose in a competition of acting skills with Fu Feiqian.
Moreover, Yan Tong felt that He Lushen's attitude towards Fu Feiqian was very strange. He clearly hated her, but he asked Yan Tong to treat her well? !
Therefore, Yan Tong was really playing a trick on actresses like Yang Huayue and Chu Yu when he notified them to audition. He did not think there was anything wrong with what he did. In fact, let alone the entertainment industry, many companies in society recruited and called a large group of applicants to come for interviews, which was just for show. This was reality.
I just didn't expect Yang Huayue's performance to be so outstanding. It can be seen that she has studied the script carefully and put in a lot of effort. She really prepared for this audition as a very serious matter.
Yan Tong felt a little bit reluctant, he really liked Yang Huayue's performance.
He whispered a few words to the assistant director beside him, who said, "Yang Huayue is definitely not suitable. Her reputation among the audience is very low right now."
Yan Tong had watched Listen, the Sound of the Wind, and the two characters that impressed him the most were Ji Ning and Ji An. Yang Huayue's villain role was too popular. After thinking about it, he felt that Yang Huayue was not suitable.
