Chapter 49 Actors and Audience (1/2)



The only person in the audience who wasn't amazed by Shang Yechu's performance was Du Xiaotang, the dance teacher sitting to Yi Tianzhao's right.

The other person frowned, looking displeased. It seemed they were about to give Shang Yechu a good scolding.

Sure enough, Du Xiaotang couldn't wait for the bespectacled old lady to finish speaking before immediately asking, "Have you really studied dance?"

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. Shang Yechu's rudimentary skills are no match for true experts.

Shang Yechu certainly couldn't lie, but she also couldn't claim she knew nothing at all. The former would be immediately exposed by Du Xiaotang, while the latter would leave a bad impression on Director Yi Tianzhao and the others.

Shang Yechu replied tactfully and skillfully, "Due to financial reasons, I haven't had any systematic dance training. I can only learn by watching videos online."

103: "..."

A one-hour crash course can also be called self-study, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Sure enough, Du Xiaotang's expression darkened further. As a formally trained dance teacher, she naturally looked down on those unorthodox dance styles online.

Du Xiaotang retorted sharply, "Didn't you read the recruitment requirements carefully? It clearly states 'must have a certain level of dance skills'! Or do you think your shamanistic dancing skills count as a level of skill?!"

Shang Yechu's lips trembled slightly, and her face turned deathly pale, but her demeanor remained composed and elegant.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I'll practice more..."

Before Du Xiaotang could say anything more, the bespectacled old lady couldn't stand it anymore and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh, alright, alright. Little Du, why are you so angry! I thought she acted very well... Calm down, calm down."

Both Yi Tianzhao and Du Xiaotang seemed to respect the old lady. Du Xiaotang looked somewhat unconvinced, but ultimately remained silent.

Shang Yechu had a certain guess about the identity of the old lady with glasses.

Yi Tianzhao coughed lightly, "You have WeChat, right? Scan these two QR codes on the table, and I'll contact you before the day after tomorrow."

Shang Yechu's face lit up with surprise: "Thank you, Teacher Yi!"

Yi Tianzhao was somewhat surprised, "You actually still recognize me."

“Of course.” Shang Yechu said while scanning the QR code, “I’ve watched many of your movies on CTS. I just saw your interview on the movie channel a few days ago.”

Yi Tianzhao nodded, his face still expressionless.

After adding the contact information, Shang Yechu bowed to the elderly woman with glasses and said, "Thank you!"

The elderly woman with glasses beamed from ear to ear: "My surname is Jiang."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang!" Shang Yechu's voice was clear and cheerful.

Of course, Shang Yechu didn't neglect Du Xiaotang either. She nodded to Du Xiaotang again and said sincerely, "Teacher Du, I will take your advice and practice hard when I get back!"

Du Xiaotang's face was still as displeased as if she had swallowed a fly, but at least she didn't embarrass Shang Yechu any further, and she nodded coldly.

It's hard to dislike a vibrant, genuinely cheerful young person, especially when they treat you as an authority figure and show you great respect.

There's a fundamental law in the entertainment industry: while not everyone is truly clean, everyone loves an innocent, pure-hearted girl. This applies to actors, producers, directors, and screenwriters alike.
