Chapter 222: Chapter 225 Shocking Performance_1

On stage, Fan Zilin watched with cold indifference as Murong Liuli made a quite sorry spectacle of herself, a trace of barely concealed scorn flashing across his eyes.

"This woman can’t even walk properly, and she still dared to come and audition? Haha, another one who likely crawled her way into the agency through underhanded means, huh?"

In the judges’ seat, Chen Honggang’s expression was emotionless, his thoughts unfathomable.

Murong Liuli’s face reddened. She gathered her emotions, then walked to the front of the stage.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," she said, bowing deeply to Fan Zilin.

"No problem. Let’s get started," Fan Zilin replied impassively.

He paused, then suddenly asked, "Miss Murong, if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever studied acting?"

Murong Liuli shook her head in embarrassed admission.

A murmur rippled through the crowd at her answer.

"What’s up with that woman? She has never even studied acting, dare she even audition?"

"Haha, after all it’s not surprising for someone who probably got in using connections instead of skills."

"Is Dreamy Elf heading for bankruptcy, then?"

...

Fan Zilin smirked, "Miss Murong, you’ve never studied acting yet you have the ’confidence’ to step on stage. Are you the supposed prodigy type? Some say innate actors, even without formal training, can tear up within three seconds. Can you?"

Once again, Murong Liuli shook her head, looking highly uncomfortable.

"Whew~" Fan Zilin turned to look at Chen Honggang and said, "Director, I don’t think there’s any need for an audition."

Upon hearing this, Murong Liuli panicked.

"If Yang Gang trusted her so much and she was sent down the stage without any performance, Yang Gang would definitely be ridiculed!"

She quickly turned to Chen Honggang: "Director, please let me audition!"

Looking at the determination in Murong Liuli’s eyes, Chen Honggang said nonchalantly, "No harm in a short delay. Begin your audition."

Fan Zilin shrugged helplessly.

According to the advertisement plan, the camera would first focus on Fan Zilin.

In contrast to before, Fan Zilin now seemed lax, not putting effort into his performance.

In his mind, this woman named Murong Liuli was absolutely not worth his serious consideration.

As he acted, he would occasionally glance at Murong Liuli and smirk derisively.

"That woman is still flipping through the script, she’s noticeably nervous. My god, even if you’ve gamed the system to get here, you should at least know a thing or two about performing! You’re absolutely insulting the profession of an actor!"

A crew member reminded Murong Liuli to prepare as Fan Zilin’s shot was about to end.

Murong Liuli quickly closed the script.

The audience viewing Murong Liuli’s nervousness found it highly amusing.

Tao Mei twitched her lips, "Young Master Yang, this girl..."

"Just keep your eyes peeled!" Yang Gang said frigidly.

Tao Mei sighed but directed her gaze back to the stage.

The camera began moving towards Murong Liuli.

With eyes closed, Murong Liuli took a deep breath.

The camera was now focused on her.

Murong Liuli slowly opened her eyes...

The moment she opened her eyes, the cameraman’s heart jolted fiercely. Even his camera seemed to shake involuntarily.

My goodness! This woman...

"From the moment she opened her eyes, I felt like I saw a dazzling beam of light, a light that could pierce through one’s soul," the cameraman thought.

A sense of awe washed over the cameraman as he closely observed Murong Liuli through his camera lens.

On the monitor, Murong Liuli appeared calm and confident, exuding an elegant and noble aura. Every move she made seemed to be filled with an otherworldly charm.

This was an acting prodigy!

Chen Honggang, who had always been placid, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He stared at Murong Liuli, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes.

Suddenly, in the moment that Murong Liuli opened her eyes, Fan Zilin too saw that dazzling beam of light!

What... What’s happening?!

Murong Liuli’s performance has begun.

The first scene, she is washing her hair in the bathroom.

There’s no shampoo, no faucet, no water, but under Murong Liuli’s uninhibited interpretation, people seem to clearly see the position of the faucet, the position of the shampoo, and even the foam generated by the shampoo on Murong Liuli’s head!

Even more shocking is that on Murong Liuli’s body, there’s no trace of her acting at all.

She’s behaving as she pleases, like she’s actually washing her hair.

For the second shot, after washing her hair, Murong Liuli opens the bathroom’s door and steps out.

She "opens the door", shakes her head casually, her hair falling clean and flowing, nostrils slightly flaring, her face then reveals a touch of serene smile.

Her expression is too realistic; audiences seem to have caught the fragrance of the shampoo.

The whole scene is deadly quiet.

Heavens... Heavens!

Is this...Is this really the same woman who just now had stiff expressions and ridiculous gestures?

This kind of performance makes people feel like they’re there, where is the so-called newbie actress, she’s clearly a leading lady!!

Next, according to the script, Fan Zilin who plays the male lead should take a deep breath, with a mesmerized look and say, ’You smell so good.’

But!

Fan Zilin, as if dumbstruck, stares at Murong Liuli, his eyes filled with astonishment!

This woman...this woman...

With Murong Liuli, Fan Zilin feels a suffocating pressure.

Even those so-called old actors never made him feel so ashamed!

Upon staff’s reminder, Fan Zilin comes back to his senses from shock, forcing out a hint of infatuated expression: "You smell so good."

Murong Liuli raises her hand with the shampoo, places it on her cheek and smiles: "It’s this that smells good."

With that smile, full of charm, Fan Zilin is lost once again.

The stage goes silent again.

People who originally gathered for fun and instigated trouble don’t dare to make a sound anymore.

They stare wide-eyed, still in disbelief.

"What on earth is going on with that woman, Murong Liuli?"

"Could it be that her previous comic actions, and the nervousness on her face, was all just to play us?"

"God, this woman’s acting skills might have already matched those leading ladies who have been roaming in the film and television industry for many years!"

...

The two representatives sent by the shampoo manufacturer also couldn’t believe it.

"Director Chen, what is this..." Zhao Hui was a bit confused.

Chen Honggang calmly says: "Some women, they are born for the stage. When they stand on stage, when faced with the camera, they become the focus of the world."

"Although that No.24 Zhang Xi isn’t bad, she obviously can’t compare to No.25, I recommend No.25." Zhao Hui says.

The other representative, Ma Yongwei, also says: "I think so too."

Zhao Honggang doesn’t say a word, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, lost in thoughts.

About ten seconds later, Zhao Honggang suddenly stands up and announces loudly: "I declare, the chosen one for this advertisement is No. 24, Zhang Xi."

His declaration sends shockwaves through the room.

How can this be?

Everyone present can see that Murong Liuli’s acting skills are much higher than Zhang Xi. A genius director like Chen Honggang couldn’t possibly overlook this, right?!

Murong Liuli is also momentarily stunned, then a hint of sadness appears on her face as she steps off the stage.

Fan Zilin watches Murong Liuli’s resentful figure leaving, he pursues Director Chen: "Director, why not choose No.25? Clearly, her acting is the best, and her camera sense is the strongest."
