[ âWow! Lu Shang! I really didnât expect them to get Lu Shang!â ]
[ âMaster Shang is perfect for a period drama. Iâm convinced by him!!â ]
[ âItâs a pity that the male lead has already been decided. Itâs not Lu Shangâ¦sob, sob, sob!â ]
When interviewed, Lu Shang answered smoothly.
The camera continued to the next judge, who was also an old acquaintance, Hao Gou.
[ âOMG! Itâs Hao Gou, be careful!â ]
The image of Hao Gou as a judge with a venomous tongue was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The reason why the production team had asked him to be a judge this time was obvious.
The remaining judges were famous directors and producers. They were all heavyweight guests with a lot of say.
They would decide on the female lead of the day.
The audition officially began. The first contestant stood in the center of the stage.
After introducing her part, the big screen behind her lit up. The lights and dance changed beautifully, and the ancient background music with a mystical atmosphere also sounded.
[ âThey are going all out with Qingqiu Tactics! What a feeling!â ]
[ âI f * cking got into character in a second!!â ]
The first celebrity might have been too nervous, and she got stuck at the first line. However, she gradually got better and better, and her acting became more and more natural.
It was a crying scene. After the scene was over, the camera turned to the host. The hostâ eyes were wet.
After the performance ended, the normal lights were switched on, and the host invited the judges to give their comments.
The first director gave words of encouragement, and the second expressed that they could work together in the future.
In the chat, the fans started to discuss how well their baby acted.
When it was Hao Gouâs turn to speak, he stared at the host and didnât say anything for a long time.
The host was nervous, âMr. Haoâ¦
A few seconds later, Hao Gou spoke with a serious expression. âWhat do you want me to comment on? She forgot her line the moment she started.â
The atmosphere at the scene turned cold. The director and producer looked at each other, amused.
[ âF * ck! He is too strict!â ]
[ âOur baby didnât forget on purpose!!â ]
[ âI think he is right. As an actress, whatâs there to explain if you canât even remember the lines? The director and producer are too weak!â ] âShe was scolded by Hao Gou!â
The others who were peeking through the curtains discussed among themselves, and the tense atmosphere became more and more intense.
Nan Miaomiao and Ji Xi had been studying the script seriously and did not care about what happened on stage.
The few people who went after didnât escape Hao Gouâs venomous tongue either.
After each performance, they would give each of them a score.
One person took about 15 minutes.
After an hour, the actress who was in front of Ji Xi went on stage.
Similarly, she was unable to escape Hao Gouâs criticism.
During the evaluation segment, he looked at the resume in his hand. âNo wonder.â
The actress held the microphone nervously. âNo wonder?â
Hao Gou said, âso youâre a singer and dancer who debuted on a talent show. No wonder you acted like this.â
The crowd:
[ âIâm sweating! He really dared to offend people! If I were that actress, I would just quit the film industry!â ]
The actress was not as docile as the previous few. She was used to being spoiled by her manager.
Now that she was insulted in front of tens of millions of netizens, she could not hold it in anymore. Ignoring the hostâs gesture to get off the stage, she retorted into the microphone, âyou donât seem to be satisfied with anyoneâs acting skills? Are you looking down on singers and dancers now? Singers and dancers can also act. Arenât you being a bit much? Do you have any famous works? I donât think Iâve seen it before!â
A standoff!
This timeâ¦the atmosphere became even more tense!
The director and producer looked at Hao Gou as if they were watching a good show. Hao Gou sneered and was calm.
As expected of an experienced judge.
However, before he could say anything this time, Lu Shang, who was sitting next to him, spoke first. âMs. Hao Gou acted in his first movie in 1992. He played the bandit Wang Tao in âCrazy Strangersâ. He was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 1995, he wasâ¦â
He unhurriedly recounted all of Hao Gouâs famous works since his debut, even including the year and the name of the character.
Hao Gou looked at him in disbelief, his eyes deepening.
The actress on the stage was also speechless and stood rooted to the ground.
Lu Shang gave the final blow lightly. âPlaying the lead is not the only way to be famous. Iâm personally a fan of Ms. Hao. Every role of his is worth careful consideration. Since you havenât seen it before, it can only mean that you donât have a lot of experience in movies and dramas.â
Everyone held their breaths, and Lu Shang only flipped open the information of the next actor. âHost, itâs time to invite the next actor on stage.â âIâ¦â Before the actress could retort, she was forced off the stage by the host.
It was extremely embarrassing.
Order was restored. Hao Gou swallowed his emotions and smiled, âI didnât expect Mr. Lu to have such a sharp tongue.â
But when the camera flashed past, his eyes were actually red.
After acting as a supporting role for so many years, this was the first time someone remembered him like that.
The chat also exploded.
[ âThis is what a real good actor looks like! I like Master Shang! I like Teacher Hao!â ]
[ âIf Master Shang didnât tell me, I really wouldnât have known that he had played so many roles!! Iâve really seen âCrazy Strangersâ before. At that time, I thought the bandit was so handsome! So it was him when he was young!â ]
[ âAlthough the actress was criticized pretty badâ¦Lu Shangâs gentle but sharp comment is so cool!â ]
The women who were peeking through the curtains were also mesmerized.
âIf he criticizes me later, Iâll accept it. How can an actor be so charming!â
âHeâs really the sexiest Iâve ever seen.l I met him at a cocktail party last time, but he completely ignored me. Heâs so cold!â
âI wonder how beautiful a woman must be to catch his eye!â
Soon, it was Ji Xi and Nan Miaomiaoâs turn, and they finally noticed the discussions.
âWhich was the judge? Look at how infatuated they are.â Nan Miaomiao pouted disdainfully.
Ji Xi shook her head. âI donât know. He seems to be very popular.â The host introduced the next person and Ji Xi took a deep breath.
She had already changed into her costume.
The people surrounding the curtain moved aside. Nan Miaomiaoâs eyes lit up as she made a gesture of encouragement to her, then she went to change. Ji Xi slowly exhaled and the moment she appeared, she was already in character..
