Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Gui Yu, Who Became Famous for His Sharp Tongue

"Indeed, Yuran wasn’t watching the live stream at all; she was talking to her manager the entire time."

Through the live stream display, one could see every move of the artists in the hall clearly.

Yuran wasn’t interested in the live stream. In fact, Annan was also talking to her about it since she noticed that everyone was watching the live stream.

She sat down next to Yuran, who was restfully closing her eyes, and said with a helpless tone, "I mean, don’t you care about keeping up with what everyone else is doing?"

Yuran looked at her askance, "Isn’t that the assistant manager’s job? Am I not here today just to audition?"

Annan was at a loss for words, her lips twitching as she observed several artists around them holding their phones, feeling more than a little frustrated. Why was her artist so different from everyone else?

Where had things gone wrong?

She flipped through the script in her hands, no longer interested in the live stream, and casually chatted with Yuran, "Who knows which scene Gui Yu will draw for you, are you prepared?

Don’t embarrass yourself, your big-shot movie star brother might be watching you from home right now."

"Do you have to be so dramatic? Even if my Seventh Brother is watching, isn’t that to be expected?"

Annan: "..."

As time went by, the time for auditions finally arrived. Gui Yu’s assistant, holding a list, stood at the entrance of the audition room, "Please check the number on your card. When your number is called, come in to audition."

As soon as these words were spoken, a buzz of whispered discussion filled the air.

Annan looked at the girl beside her, who was as serene as a Buddha, and sighed, "Other artists are all anxious about their upcoming auditions, yet you’re as calm as a Buddha.

Yuran, aren’t you a bit worried? But never mind, what am I fretting about? I should have faith in you.

Girl, make sure you bring back a lead role for me later."

Yuran replied indifferently, "Two years ago, the project ’City of Temptation’ had been in preparation at Huanya but I refused to take part. Two years later, they re-initiated and started preparing to film;

and I am still among those invited. Do you know what this means?"

Annan was quite new to the industry and lacked composure, but her advantage was that she was quiet.

When she wasn’t sure about the impact of speaking up, she would never blurt out thoughtlessly, yet she was growing rapidly.

Upon hearing this, she just kept a placid facial expression, silently looking at Yuran, waiting for her to continue.

Yuran moved her red lips and said, "Annan, I am the chosen lead actress for ’City of Temptation’, and also the most suitable person for it."

Xi Nian must believe this too, which is why he has persisted for these two years.

Although I’m not sure what Xi Nian’s ultimate goal is, I don’t sense any ill will from him.

Moreover, with Bo Yan standing behind me, I don’t find Xi Nian to be too terrifying at all.

In the capital, the Bo Family holds more sway than Xi Nian does.

Unless Xi Nian doesn’t want to remain in the capital, maybe then he wouldn’t need to care about the power of the Bo Family."

The wait for others to audition always seemed too long, although the time itself moved swiftly, with each performer having only five minutes. Many artists went in with enthusiasm and came out whining.

The live stream was practically exploding with activity.

Countless netizens started to flood the comments.

"Damn, damn, damn, is Gui Yu’s mouth always this vicious?"

"I’ve lived to see the day. Someone’s mouth really is that vicious, but damn, Director Xi, you’re so awesome ahhhhh..."

The moment Annan opened the live stream, she saw these comments. Originally, she didn’t intend to focus on others’ audition outcomes, but couldn’t resist the lively discussion from the netizens.

After just a glance, she was shocked by these swarming comments.

What happened?

Who is this ’Beautiful Director’?

How did Gui Yu earn such a nickname so quickly?

Then Annan continued to watch, just in time to bring the phone over to Yuran for her to see together.

Annan, "I don’t know what Gui Yu said earlier, but now the live stream has exploded."

Yuran: "..."

Currently, the audition has reached number twenty. Since they were not many people ahead of Yuran, they hadn’t even had the chance to see the performance of the auditioning actor clearly before being shocked by Gui Yu’s next words.

"Stop, stop, stop! Do you even know what acting is? You graduated from a drama academy and have acting experience.

May I ask, what role were you playing? Extra A, B, C, D?

How did your drama’s director even come to pick you? Did you pay for the role?

In that case, wouldn’t self-directing and self-acting be much more convenient and comfortable for you!"

The auditioning actor ran out crying, her face flushed red.

Next.

Gui Yu, "Alright, let’s end your performance right there. When your company recommended you for the audition, didn’t they think of the consequences? The business card hasn’t even been passed out."

Great, another one has cried.

Another one, even worse.

Gui Yu, "Your acting is so bad, it has no aesthetic value. To put it more directly, it’s like, ’placenta acting’."

"Wow~~" The young girl probably had never heard such disgusting words before and couldn’t take it anymore, bursting into loud sobs, her tears falling down like pearls, looking pitifully endearing.

Annan and Yuran stared wide-eyed, and recalling the way Gui Yu acted during their first encounter—extremely cautious and careful—Yuran felt that the contrast was so immense it was shocking.

Was this the same Gui Yu who had sat across from her, speaking softly and gently?

This was clearly a tyrannosaurus rex!

The live stream was even more explosive.

Compared to the stir Xi Gu had created earlier, Gui Yu alone had completely won over the audience.

Many viewers of the live stream switched allegiance directly; the original gimmick of "City of Temptation" paled in comparison to the topics created by Gui Yu alone.

Gui Yu, who could chat someone to death, who made people feel so ashamed they wanted to commit suicide.

He made his name in one battle.

"I never expected Gui Yu to be this kind of person."

"Exactly, right? A fire-breathing tyrannosaurus rex, with not a shred of compassion for women."

"I never imagined that when Gui Yu scolds people, he looks so spirited and domineering, as if he owned the world."

"But doesn’t everyone think that Gui Yu like this, is just so cool?"

"He does look quite cool, do you guys have a masochistic streak?"

"I think he’s not wrong though, if you can’t act, why audition? And his words were not that malicious."

"I wonder about the mental trauma area of the ladies that got scolded."

"Forget it, even though I admire Gui Yu’s eloquence, if I were face-to-face with such a handsome guy, I’d cry myself to death if he scolded me."

"To the one above, don’t flatter yourself, he doesn’t even know you."

"..."

Then came a series of gifts, all sorts of screen flooding.

The unconventional live stream was made explosively popular by Gui Yu, and no one else could match his contribution.

For the next few people, it was plainly Gui Yu’s playground. Just watching his mouth open and close, then one beautifully made-up face after another cried like a scalded cat.

They seemed so pitiable, so delicate and sweet.

But looking back at Gui Yu, he appeared as a heartless and indifferent scoundrel, with no sympathy for the beauty in tears, just unsatisfied, unsatisfied, unsatisfied.

Your acting just won’t do; you’re just a talentless girl, and even when you cry, you still lack talent.
