Shi Wang's lips twitched. "Sorry, teacher, is there something wrong with my performance?"
The eyes of the people around seemed to drift over.
Professor Lang stood with his hands behind his back, his voice steady and sincere, "Your appearance is actually very suitable for this role, but isn't your attitude a little too casual? You were wearing headphones during rehearsal. No wonder you had trouble finding your position during rehearsal earlier."
In an instant, several people around, even Xiao Meng, looked at Shi Wang's ears.
But only Zhumian knew that what Professor Lang was talking about was Shiwang's hearing aid.
Everyone looked at his right ear.
Lu Tiao quickly tried to smooth things over: "No, teacher, Shi Wang has always been very serious in rehearsals. This is the first time he has done this. I guess he forgot to take it off."
After saying that, he quickly looked at Shi Wang and winked, "Shi Wang, pick it up."
Shi Wang's hand seemed to be fixed and he did not reach out to pick it.
Hearing aids and headphones certainly look the same on the outside, but hearing aids have a long part that embeds into the ear canal. As soon as you take them off, you can tell at a glance that they are not headphones.
He had no doubt that as soon as he took it off, others would notice that this headset was different, and it was only a matter of time before the problem with his right ear was exposed.
At this moment, other people's attention was secondary. He was more concerned about making a fool of himself in front of Zhou Min, who already knew about his ear problem.
But Lu Tiao's excuse was undoubtedly seen as a cover-up by the teacher who saw it on the spot.
Professor Lang said gently, "Adonis, do you think this is respectful to your opponent? Are you so casual when facing Venus?"
The teacher's attitude was kind, but the situation was developing in a direction that he had to pick it.
Zhuomian stood behind him, a body length away, and watched Shi Wang quietly as they chatted with each other, his back stiff.
Zhu Mian clenched the script in his hand slightly, but suppressed the urge to help him.
Everyone has their own fate. He has never helped her once, so why should she step forward? It would only make her seem as self-indulgent as before.
Kindness should also be shown to those who deserve it.
If her kindness is abused again, she will feel that it is not worth it. If she repeats the same mistake knowing the consequences, she will just look pitifully stupid.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuang, who played the second female lead, quickly walked through the crowd and explained, "Teacher, Senior Shi's wearing headphones didn't affect the rehearsal, and he only wore one."
Professor Lang was even more disappointed: "Look, your partners are still hiding it for you."
Zhang Shuang was a little anxious: "Teacher, it's not true."
Seeing that the trouble was about to be diverted to the girl who excused Shi Wang, Shi Wang didn't want to owe anyone anything. Just as he was about to speak, another hoarse voice interrupted his thoughts neatly: "Professor, this is my problem."
When Shi Wang heard the familiar voice, he subconsciously turned around to look at Zhou Mian, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She didn't look at him. Her cold and beautiful face didn't show much expression, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes. Her crimson lips opened and closed, and a slightly hoarse voice came out: "I practiced my lines last night and my voice became hoarse. I couldn't speak loudly, so I asked Shi Wang to wear noise-canceling headphones to rehearse with me to ignore the impact of the noise. Shi Wang didn't say anything just now because he didn't want me to be blamed."
Her voice was indeed hoarse, which was quite credible, and Professor Lang found it reasonable.
Moreover, Venus has a charming voice in the script, and her current voice is a bit out of place.
Professor Lang suddenly realized: "Is that so?"
Zhu Mian raised his eyes to glance at Shi Wang, but uttered words against his will: "Yes."
Shi Wang's heartbeat became faster and faster, and he felt an inexplicable joy of regaining what he had lost.
Everyone also realized what was happening.
Zhang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Lang was actually somewhat pleased. Mutual understanding between partners, not to mention the male and female protagonists who deeply loved each other, meant that the script would run more smoothly. "I'm sorry, teacher, I was blind and groping in the dark, and my judgment was subjective. It's great that you can understand each other and consider each other. I believe you can be a good pair."
Zhou Mian didn't want to bring this up anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Teacher, when I was familiar with the script, I had an immature idea. Can I discuss it with you?"
Professor Lang was of course happy to agree: "Sure."
Xiaomian said directly: "I think the role of the second female lead is unreasonable."
Everyone around her stopped and looked at her.
Shi Wang also looked at her, listened to her carefully, and wanted to know what she thought.
Professor Lang was puzzled: "Then what do you think the problem is?"
Standing amidst everyone's surprised and incredulous gazes, Xiaomian frankly said, "This character makes me empathize with someone who's been portrayed as uglier. Instead of striving for love, the second female lead chooses to compete with the heroine, even going so far as to frame her. She even loses herself for love, as if she values love above all else. But she's the goddess of death. Isn't there something a little off about this portrayal?"
Shi Wangdao had never thought about it from this perspective. Thinking about it this way, the script does have some problems.
Professor Lang also listened patiently. After all, this version was still a draft and he had not revised it, so it was inevitable that there would be some shortcomings.
Professor Lang said seriously, "To compete for love at all costs, even at the cost of self-sacrifice, is a common way of expressing the intensity of love in dramas. Doesn't this make love seem even more passionate?"
But Xiaomian remained unmoved. "True love won't leave someone in despair. The one who should step in to deal with the female third party isn't the heroine, but the noble Adonis described in the script. Personally, I think if Adonis were truly worthy of the battle between the goddess of death and the goddess of beauty, none of this would have happened. He would have definitely stepped in to protect the heroine."
