Chapter 1591 - You Only Depend on Men

Just these were enough to drag on until late noon.

They even had takeouts for lunch.

When things were finally settled, Lu Man got the lead role without questions.

Coincidentally, the main character of the movie was a female.

“And that’s it for today,” Deng Xu said. “This is the scene chosen for the performance. Do go back and study your own characters. I don’t want you to just imitate the characters in the movie, I want you guys to have your own style and interpretation, so that there is spirit in your acting, so that viewers will be impacted by your performance. Think on how you will act if it were you, since you’re younger than the actors in the movie. The same performance might suit them but not you. Use your brains, and try it once.

“I’ll check on your results tomorrow and give you pointers. In the coming days, you’ll have to depend on your teachers to coach you. I’ll come on the last day for a final rehearsal,” Deng Xu said.

Just like what Han Zhuoli had stated, Deng Xu only had three days free.

Today counted as one day, and there were two days left.

Everyone nodded, determined.

Winning the competition wasn’t on their minds anymore.

They were working on leaving a favorable impression on Deng Xu, and they would go the extra mile to do so.

And if they scored a nice victory over the exchange team, then it was even better!

When they finished, Deng Xu even had a short conversation with Lu Man before leaving.

Everyone was envious but not angry about it.

Because of Lu Man’s status.

Lu Man and Zheng Yuan exited the building, and Lu Man was about to call Han Zhuoli when Dong Jingxi blocked her path.

Lu Man wondered why she hadn’t left yet. Had she been waiting here all along?

Dong Jingxi asked through gritted teeth, “Lu Man, did you ask the principal to swap me?”

Lu Man frowned. “Dong Jingxi, you knew clearly that I was in the classroom just now and didn’t move an inch. Have you seen me tell the principal anything?”

Dong Jingxi knew in her heart that the principal swapped her for someone else on his own.

“I don’t get why you’re picking on me. You get even more enthusiastic when I’m ignoring you,” Lu Man said coldly. “We don’t have any clashes in our future careers, so what do you have against me?”

Dong Jingxi read between the lines clearly.

Lu Man implied that their standards were different, so their advancing careers wouldn’t be on the same level as well.

That’s true. Since she had Han Zhuoli, Lu Man could be all holier-than-thou and take part in big productions by famous directors, directly entering the A-list.

While she had to work on some low-cost dramas first.

Dong Jingxi scoffed scornfully. “Who are you to think you’re better than me when you only depend on men!”

Zheng Yuan became furious hearing that.

There must be something wrong with Dong Jingxi’s brain!

She had been picking fights ever since the beginning. When Lu Man refused to stoop to her level, she became even more enthusiastic in her attempts.

However, Lu Man only smiled. “Since you know my man is dependable, where’d you find the courage to keep picking on me?”

“Pfft!”

Zheng Yuan couldn’t contain her laughter.

Lu Man’s words were too vicious!

“You...” Dong Jingxi wasn’t a total fool; she understood her words.
