“Sorry for disturbing you all! Hi, Director Kang, my name is Tang Xinrou!”
“I know, we met last time. Who knew we’d be fated to meet again.”
Kang Yuan handed the script to her. “Have you seen it?”
Tang Xinrou shook her head awkwardly. “Not yet…”
“Oh, didn’t your good friend show it to you?” As he said this, he glanced at the door mockingly.
Song Yaoyao stood upright. As soon as her eyes met with Kang Yuan’s, she immediately smiled sweetly.
Her almond eyes curved like a crescent moon. Her dimples sank like they were pumped with honey. Who could bear to be angry at her?
“No, I know the rules,” Tang Xinrou shook her head honestly.
The normally lively person was like an obedient little kitten in front of Kang Yuan.
Sun Man selected the scenes for the audition: there were three in total.
It included the first meeting, the confession, and the wedding at the end.
The first scene was a little stiff because Tang Xinrou hadn’t let go, but the second scene was a little better. As she looked into Song Yaoyao’s eyes, she was filled with courage. She began to think about what she would do if she ran into the person she liked.
“Xu Yang, I like you!”
As soon as Luo Xinguang walked in, these happened to be the words that he heard. He was slightly surprised.
Xu Yang was the character that he was playing. During this time, in order to immerse themselves in their roles better, everyone in the cast had been calling each other by their character’s names.
So, he naturally responded to this name.
He looked over. The girl had her eyes closed. As the lights fell on her beautiful face, she lifted her chin slightly. Her back was straight, filled with arrogance. However, her clasped hands and trembling eyes exposed her nervousness.
Luo Xinguang let out a laugh, crossed his arms, and leaned against the doorway without entering.
Instead, he glanced beside him at Song Yaoyao who had not noticed him yet. “Hey, Stinking Brat.”
Song Yaoyao snapped out of her daze and moved her gaze away from Tang Xinrou to the person next to her.
She slowly opened her mouth. “I have a name. It’s Song Yaoyao.”
“Oh, but I like calling you Stinking Brat. What about Little Firecracker, then? Or Violence Addict?” he smirked as he rubbed his chin.
Song Yaoyao smiled slightly and stepped forward.
Luo Xinguang immediately readied his stance and warned, “Hey, don’t even dream about touching me!”
“Idiot…”
The girl’s lips were red and moist as she squeezed this word out slowly between her teeth.
Her voice was filled with disdain and ridicule.
Inside the classroom, Tang Xinrou was beginning to perform the third scene.
The truth was, after she completed the second scene, Kang Yuan and Sun Man had already decided that they were hiring her.
Although her acting was inexperienced without much technique, this was what they expected for a school drama.
Besides, it wasn’t like Kang Yuan hadn’t guided a newcomer before. On the contrary, he was famous for using new faces because he felt that many actors had lost the motivation that newcomers had.
Although they were experienced with abundant techniques, their enthusiasm just wasn’t there anymore.
The third scene was the most difficult to act out. It was a scene that took place after graduation, where the characters had already entered adult society. By this time, Xia Yuchu was no longer the young and impulsive girl that she once was.
Although she only had one line, her gaze and tone were very important.
So as expected, Tang Xinrou did not achieve the result they were after.
“Okay.”
Without expressing much, Kang Yuan nodded his head, gesturing for Tang Xinrou to stop.
Tang Xinrou pursed her lips and looked at Kang Yuan. She felt a little sad on the inside.
Had she failed?
“Thank you, Director Kang, for giving me this opportunity. Sorry for taking up so much of your time.”
