Chapter 89: Not Simple
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Director Jiang Wen was originally leaning against the seat. He had been busy for a long time today and his body was a little tired. In addition, he was very satisfied with the previous interviewee, Xu Rui, so his attitude towards Lu Zhen was actually a little casual.
If not for Chu Yuan’s introduction, Director Jiang Wen might not even have given Lu Zhen a chance to perform. It was very likely that he would just ask Lu Zhen a few simple questions and ask her to go back and wait for news.
The moment Lu Zhen entered, Jiang Wen had already drawn a huge cross in his mind.
Although Lu Zhen was very beautiful, she did not have the cold, artistic, and noble aura of the back-view goddess. She did look like a very dazzling female celebrity, but that was not what he wanted.
Even when Lu Zhen began to perform, Jiang Wen still did not pay attention to her. He even began to consider how to design the movie lens according to Xu Rui’s personal characteristics. However, the moment Lu Zhen began to perform, the sudden change in temperament shocked Jiang Wen. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. For a moment, his breathing slowed.
Jiang Wen suddenly stood up!
The three judges were shocked.
Jiang Wen carefully pulled out a chair and walked to the left behind Lu Zhen.
After observing for a while, he walked to the right behind. Two minutes later, Lu Zhen finished playing the entire song. She seemed to be still immersed in the music. Her fingers caressed the “piano” longingly before she gently placed it on her knee.
After a few more seconds, the girl playing the piano “disappeared”. The real Lu
Zhen turned around and bowed to the four judges.
The room was silent for a long time. No one spoke.
After Lu Zhen’s performance ended, she felt quite good. Seeing that the four judges were silent, she immediately became a little nervous. “Is there a problem with my performance? Please guide me.”
The young woman with a serious expression turned to look at Jiang Wen, then at the other two. In the end, she coughed. “We need to discuss it internally. Miss Lu, please go back and wait for our news.”
“Okay.” Lu Zhen also knew that the results couldn’t come out so quickly. She bowed to the four of them again and left the audition room.
As soon as Lu Zhen left, the audition room exploded. The young man said excitedly, “Oh my god, her acting skills are too good. I didn’t even see her face, but I felt that she was that character!”
The serious-looking young woman frowned. “That’s what you said during the interview with Xu Rui.”
The man scratched his head and was a little embarrassed. “I mean, they’re all very outstanding. Xu Rui’s temperament is very similar to the role, so she didn’t surprise me much. However, Lu Zhen gave me a surprise. She’s completely different in and out of the show.”
“Teacher Man, what do you think?” The young woman looked at the old lady.
Man Li nodded. “This young lady called Lu Zhen has put in a lot of effort into this role. She’s actually not as suitable for this role as Xu Rui, but she used countless details to support this role. This young lady is not simple!” “Details?” The young man was puzzled. “What details?”
The young man was one of the representatives of the investors. He did not know much about acting. He would be at the scene and just go through the procedure. In the end, the role still depended on the director.
“Did you see her sitting posture?” Man Li explained patiently. “Her sitting posture is very standard. She’s sitting exactly one-third of the chair. Moreover, before she sat down, she carefully tidied her skirt. This action of hers indirectly shows that she takes the upcoming performance very seriously. She even expressed a feeling that can be called sacred.”
Director Jiang Wen nodded. “That’s right, and I just observed her from the side. Although we only need to film the back of this character, even if the camera is facing her face, her performance still won’t let anyone out of character.”
“Yes, and her fingering. She’s very proficient. She handled the rhythm pauses very well. She just played ‘Faraway Spring.’ I’ve heard this song many times. I think if she had just played it with a real piano, the effect would have been very good. There would have been no need for post-production dubbing at all,” Man Li said..
