Chapter 413: Chapter 411 This is Talent_1

So Ji Haichuan didn’t say anything more and simply nodded in obedience, "Okay."

Afterward, he began to perform.

Ji Haichuan had thought that his expressions, without any acting talent, would be incredibly stiff or awkward, but unexpectedly...

They were not!

Not at all!

Very naturally, he exhibited the expressions one would have when facing a tsunami, whether in demeanor, posture, or gaze, everything was exceptionally outstanding!

Most importantly, there was a sense of immersion!

Through his expressions, one could clearly feel the terror and despair of a tsunami.

Many of the trainees were dumbfounded.

Xia Ningxing slightly curved her lips, indeed, he hadn’t let her down!

"Good! Well acted!"

Xu Tian, who hadn’t held much hope for the newcomer, lit up at the sight of Ji Haichuan’s performance, and couldn’t help but start applauding.

Not only was the acting good but it was also an immersive style of acting, rare to come by!

"Manager Lu, is he really a newcomer?" Xu Tian couldn’t help but ask Lu Fan.

To know, such immersive acting talent, without a decade of practice, is absolutely not possible!

Lu Fan shrugged, "I can tell you responsibly that not only is he a newcomer, but he’s also an outsider who dances street dance."

Having yet to speak, Xia Ningxing crossed her arms and her red lips parted lightly, "This is talent."

"Exactly! Talent!" Xu Tian couldn’t help but nod.

In the world of acting, those who are diligent and have resources might climb high, but those who are both diligent and talented and have resources will surely reach the pinnacle.

"You, this young man, with such good acting talent, why didn’t you say so earlier? Instead, you listed street dance, isn’t that simply a waste of your acting talent!!" Manager Lu couldn’t help but reexamine the young man in front of him, his tone slightly displeased, yet more so excited and joyful as if a horse breeder had found a swift steed.

Great, after Xia Ningxing, he had encountered another seedling that could be cultivated.

Ji Haichuan was bewildered, "But, I didn’t know..."

Before this, he had never thought he had any acting talent; his mind had been completely focused on how to improve his street dance.

Xia Ningxing and the others, "..."

However, Xia Ningxing quickly remembered that, in the original story, Ji Haichuan indeed loved street dance, and it was only after failing to make a go of it that he switched to acting.

At that time, he hadn’t realized his talent for acting either. It was after several years of sporadic odd jobs and an unintentional role as an extra that he discovered his gift for acting.

Latterly, he went from an unknown extra to a movie emperor!

And not just any movie emperor, but an Oscar-winning one!

Becoming a household name!

"Now that you know, do you want to change your career?" Lu Fan asked, then added, "If you’re willing, you can sign with Giant Star Entertainment immediately, and star as the male lead in the disaster movie ’Tsunami’!"

"!!!"

As soon as these words hit the floor, the whole room was in an uproar.

"My god, what kind of luck is this Ji Haichuan walking on, getting signed before the training period is over, and debuting as the male lead straight away!"

"Yeah, isn’t that just too enviable!"

"I’m going to turn into a lemon out of jealousy!"

Compared to everyone else’s excitement, Ji Haichuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows, seemingly hesitating over something.

Street dance was a profession he loved dearly...

He was reluctant to give it up...

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Xia Ningxing speak:

"Acting and street dancing aren’t mutually exclusive."

Xia Ningxing stared at him, she had read the original work, so she knew in her heart how much he loved street dance at this moment.

Unfortunately, he really had no talent in this area, not even a bit of it!

"Moreover, even if I don’t tell you, you probably know it yourself, you have no talent in this area, so why can’t you treat it as a hobby and develop other aspects?" Xia Ningxing simply spoke her mind.

"Do you have to follow one path to the end?"

She emphasized the question, posing it again.

Sometimes following a path to the end is right, but sometimes it’s wrong.

"I..."

Ji Haichuan looked into her clear, distinct eyes and couldn’t help showing a contemplative expression.

Indeed, did he have to follow one path to the end?

Why couldn’t he change direction?

"Alright, I’m changing careers to act in movies!"

Many years later, Ji Haichuan still couldn’t forget this day.

Because it was today that changed his destiny, letting him find the direction he truly should work hard in.

He was very grateful to this girl named Xia Ningxing.

Even deep down, there was a strong admiration.

"Congratulations, you’ve made a very wise decision!" Xia Ningxing patted his shoulder, full of conviction.

Then she lowered her voice so only the two of them could hear, "Your life will be incredibly brilliant because of this decision."

Ji Haichuan was stunned.

Even though it was just an unreachable flattery, when it came from her mouth it seemed like the real deal.

His heart inadvertently quickened and he nodded involuntarily, "Thank you for your auspicious words."

Seeing that he agreed, Xia Ningxing immediately smiled with satisfaction, then gestured with her eyes to Lu Fan, "Take him to sign the contract."

"Ok," Lu Fan responded.

After the two left, Xia Ningxing turned back to Xu Tian, "Director Xu, what’s your plan for the other roles?"

Xu Tian answered, "Didn’t we see some trainees before? I noticed a few promising ones. Although they’re not suitable for the lead role, they still fit supporting roles quite well, so I plan to choose from within the company."

Xia Ningxing couldn’t have been happier, aware that seven parts out of ten of the actors’ pay could end up in her own pocket.

So, she immediately agreed, "Ok, just go pick them out yourself, find the ones you’re satisfied with, and then directly go to Manager Lu to let them sign with the company."

Xu Tian replied, "Alright."

After Xia Ningxing and Director Xu had left, the trainees couldn’t help but discuss curiously among themselves:

"What’s the deal with Xia Ningxing anyway, how come even Manager Lu, who was personally authorized by the boss, listens to her?"

Apart from individuals like Taozi and Ruan Ruanruan, the others didn’t know that Xia Ningxing was actually Giant Star’s big boss.

All they knew was that the boss of Giant Star was very mysterious, the office was perennially empty, and only Manager Lu handled the company’s major affairs on their behalf.

"Tsk tsk, you still don’t understand the things in our circle?"

"What?"

"She must be the lover of Giant Star Entertainment’s boss!"

"That’s quite possible! Otherwise, without the order from the CEO, why would Manager Lu need to follow Xia Ningxing’s commands?"

"I really don’t understand. Isn’t Xia Ningxing a rich girl with such good conditions? Why would she degrade herself to do such things?"

"It’s true that Xia Ningxing’s family is rich, but aren’t there richer ones out there!"

"I really can’t imagine a woman who seems so proud like Xia Ningxing would do such lowly things."

"Shut up! Quit the nonsense, and remember in this circle you have to keep your mouth shut. If you carelessly offend someone you shouldn’t, your future could be ruined!" A mentor came out and scolded them with a frown.
