Chapter 383: Robot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With Lu Zhen’s performance on the show and her strength, as long as she went to the production team of the other three directors, she would at least be the second female lead. In the scripts of the other three directors, the highlights of the characters were very outstanding, and there was a lot of room for them to perform. These were all clearly displayed.
However, in Director Wei Ji t s script, Lu Zhen had yet to see anything special about this robot, “Little Trash”.
Although she could not decipher the profound meaning of Director Wei Ji t s script, Lu Zhen still trusted Ye Xuan very much. Since Ye Xuan asked her to choose Director Wei JVs team, she would take a gamble!
After the scripts of the four directors were presented, the production team asked the S-rank and A-rank students to enter their choices into the tablet held by the emcee. Later, after the four directors saw the choices of all the celebrity students, they would write the names of the celebrity students they thought were suitable on the “character cards” in their hands and complete the final pairing of actors and roles.
The celebrity students who were not chosen by the directors would be arranged by the production team.
After the production team finished explaining the rules, some of the more active celebrity students at the event location understood that the four directors would mainly focus on choosing important roles. Those unimportant small roles would definitely not have many scenes and lines. They could be left for the production team to assign at will.
This program was just that cruel. Although it seemed that every celebrity student had a chance to choose and there were no unfair rules, if the students themselves did not have acting skills and popularity, they would not be chosen by the director. They could only be the green leaves to support those A- and S-rank students.
After that, the Class A students and Class S students walked to the emcee’s side and began the second selection.
In this segment, the production team naturally had to make some suspenseful effects, so they did not publicize the choice of each student in front of the camera. The emcee even revealed a surprised expression from time to time to maximize the effect of the show.
It was Lu Zhen’s turn to choose. She walked to the emcee’s side and saw her photo appear on the flat screen in the emcee’s hand. There were four options under the photo.
Lu Zhen clicked on the screen and completed her choice. Seeing Lu Zhen’s choice, the emcee’s eyes widened. This was not an exaggerated expression that the emcee deliberately put on for the sake of the show’s effect. He was really surprised.
Although the emcee did not understand scripts and acting, he had been in the industry for so many years. He could still tell which of the four directors’ scripts was good.
At first, the emcee also thought that Lu Zhen must have chosen Director Wei Ji t s team to give him face so that no one would choose him, causing the scene to be too awkward. Therefore, when Lu Zhen made a second choice, the emcee thought that she would definitely choose another director’s team.
However, who knew that Lu Zhen would actually insist on her first choice? She still chose Director Wei Ji!
The emcee looked at Lu Zhen with a complicated gaze and said a more official interactive line, “Your choice surprised me, but I believe you will still give the audience an infectious performance.’
Lu Zhen smiled implicitly and walked back to her original position. Then, Yang Na walked to the emcee’s side and made a second choice. Yang Na completed her choice without hesitation. Then, she saw the emcee’s eyes widen. She smiled and did not say anything. She turned around and left.
The emcee looked at her back view, his mind filled with question marks. What was going on with these two S-ranks? They did not choose a good script and insisted on challenging a difficult one? Or were the two of them equally kind and could not stand the fact that a certain director did not have a candidate? This inexplicable tacit understanding was really confusing!
After all the celebrity students were selected, the director sat in front of the table. There was a tablet in front of each of them, showing the photos of the celebrity students who had chosen the director.
When Shire saw the tablet light up, her fingers quickly slid across the screen, searching for Lu Zhen in the photos of the celebrity students. But after browsing through all the photos, Shire had the urge to cry.
Lu Zhen did not choose her! What made Shire even sadder was that Yang Na, the other S-rank actress that she also thought highly of, did not choose her. In her opinion, these two were the two strongest actresses in this season’s ‘Celebrity Performance Class’.
But now, her script with a female theme was not chosen by either of them!
