Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Character Confirmation

After Ye Zhenzhen’s performance, the private room fell silent for a few minutes, and everyone was so astonished that they didn’t know what to say.

After all, just a few minutes before, almost everyone had the same thought: Ye Zhenzhen just wasn’t up to par, she was merely going through the motions.

Before it started, she was considered nothing but scrap metal, but by the end, everyone realized she was actually a champion.

Take her impressive command of lines and her memory, for instance; how many in the industry can compare with her? This was surely the level of a professional leading actress.

Director Fei had been confident about Ye Zhenzhen’s performance from the start, since he was aware of her capabilities, but even he felt surprised by her performance.

He knew about some of Ye Zhenzhen’s past acting experiences, she had never performed in a period drama before, yet she managed to execute everything flawlessly and to perfection, which was nothing if not astonishing.

"Director Qi, let’s have everyone share their opinions. Does our Zhenzhen have what it takes?"

Liu Rui felt secretly pleased: Of course she does!

But at such a time, these were not words she could say out loud. Others needed to express them, otherwise it might backfire on Zhenzhen.

Everyone nodded but dared not speak up. In moments like this, carelessness was not an option, especially when Director Qi hadn’t spoken yet. What if he disagreed? It would all be for naught.

However, Director Qi closely observed Ye Zhenzhen for two minutes, his gaze filled with surprise, but also with speculation. He joked with a smile, "Zhenzhen, why do I feel like you’ve seen my script in advance?"

Although he knew it was unlikely, Ye Zhenzhen’s performance truly felt perfect.

It was as if she had practiced repeatedly and understood the character’s personality thoroughly, almost as though she had analyzed it deeply; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to nail even the motions and expressions to the point where nobody could find a single flaw.

If she hadn’t seen the script in advance and was able to perform like this on the spot, within just a few minutes, then she was definitely a genius actor. No one could be better suited for the role of Dusk Cloud than her.

Ye Zhenzhen laughed and said, "Yes, didn’t I get a chance to preview it for several minutes just now?"

Ye Zhenzhen was still very confident in her own abilities. She picked up lines exceptionally quickly, and coupled with her many years of experience in the industry in her past life, a live audition with a script was really nothing.

Director Fei laughed heartily, "Hahaha, it seems Director Qi recognizes Zhenzhen’s acting skills. Zhenzhen, aren’t you going to thank Director Qi for giving you this opportunity?"

Ye Zhenzhen immediately filled her glass, stood up, and raised her glass to Director Qi, "Director Qi, I toast to you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

This time, Director Qi didn’t stay seated but stood up to meet Ye Zhenzhen, raising his own glass and announcing to everyone, "Let’s all have a drink together then, so Zhenzhen doesn’t have to go one by one later. Let’s celebrate that we’ve found the most suitable Dusk Cloud!"

The most composed person in the entire meal, Director Qi, now spoke with an undeniable excitement in his voice, and his expression had relaxed considerably more than before.

His meaning was clear: Ye Zhenzhen had secured the leading role in "Legend of Dusk Clouds".

This role was won by Ye Zhenzhen through her own strength, and no one present felt any disapproval, Qi Feng included. His view of Ye Zhenzhen had changed completely, as if thinking:

How could you be so talented when so many previously criticized your acting? Could it be that you’ve been a dark horse all along?

Now that Director Qi had confirmed the lead actress, who would dare to be negligent? Naturally, everyone got to their feet and began to offer their flattering words at the table...
