Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Can Bai Chuwei Portray a Feeling of Having Been Through the Vicissitudes of Life? Liu Yuyou thought about how Liu Yufei had been scared, and the instigator, Bai Chuwei, was sitting below, watching the excitement without any trouble, and a nameless fury ignited within her.
As her mind churned, an idea took shape instantly.
Liu Yuyou gently smoothed her neat bangs, her tone gentle and noble like a lady of ancient times: “Could you please call over Junior Bai for me? I want to assign her a role.”
Liu Yuyou was the talent of the Chinese Literature Department, though her looks couldn’t compare to Bai Chuwei or Tong Qingyan, she came from a family of scholars and her demure temperament coupled with the aura of books made her very popular in Imperial University.
Moreover, Liu Yuyou had been the scriptwriter for the university celebration drama event for the past two years, and the stories she wrote had won the best program award for two consecutive years.
Tong Qingyan heard from Xu Xingchen that, as the great-granddaughter directly taught by the respected Mr. Liu Guansheng, Liu Yuyou was very likely to be the scriptwriter for the remake of “Records of the Mountain Moon.” With the intention of making connections, Tong Qingyan approached Bai Chuwei smoothly.
“Hurry up, your senior wants to assign you a role.”
Bai Chuwei smiled slightly, “Are you sure you want to perform on the same stage as me?”
Tong Qingyan was slightly taken aback, her curled eyelashes trembling, her expression turning somewhat unsightly.
Performing alongside Bai Chuwei meant she would surely become just a foil.
However, her goal was not the university celebration program, but — a role in the television drama of “Records of the Mountain Moon.”
Bai Chuwei scoffed lightly, the little kids all over the world weren’t yet qualified to watch the performance of their ancestors!
Bai Chuwei walked over, her expression indifferent.
Liu Yuyou stared intently at Bai Chuwei’s delicate, flawless features and said softly, “You’ll play the heroine’s grandmother, with no lines.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇlfire.net
Everyone took in a sharp breath, hurriedly reaching for the script, their expressions somewhat strange.
“Senior Liu, there isn’t a grandmother character.”
Liu Yuyou, holding the script, smiled lightly, “It’s a role I thought of adding at the last minute. This old lady once saved the heroine from a fire during her childhood, so she’s disfigured and needs to wear a mask all the time. It’s to reveal and elevate the theme at the end of the play.”
Isn’t this specifically to get back at Immortal Teacher…?
A role thought up on the spot turns out to be this kind of role?
With Bai Chuwei’s beautiful face, the campus beauty… playing an old lady? She would definitely have to wear aging makeup, wasting such a pretty face!
The boys who were looking forward to Bai Chuwei’s debut performance would probably cry when they see this; they were hoping Bai Chuwei would play a fairy, but now she’s an old lady.
Liu Yuyou smiled slightly, “Considering Junior Bai has never acted before and has no foundation in this area, it’s also why there are no lines.”
A female student, who specialized in acting, nearly roared out loud.
Isn’t it incongruent for Bai Chuwei, a big beauty, to play a seventy or eighty-year-old lady?
And Bai Chuwei is just an eighteen-year-old girl, not a professional actor who can convey the feeling of having experienced the vicissitudes of time?
Also, with so few lines, that means she has to rely on facial expressions, which is even harder!
Could it be that Bai Chuwei had somehow offended Senior Liu Yuyou? Why set such a trap?
Bai Chuwei chuckled softly, “Oh, should I then commend your brilliant brainstorm?”
Liu Yuyou was taken aback by Bai Chuwei’s retort, her face stiffening; she hadn’t expected Bai Chuwei to counter so bluntly.
