63 Crushing Her With Acting Skills
Wei Wei was at a loss after receiving the script clip. There was no time to figure out the role, so she could only memorize the lines and scenes first. She thought that she had acted for several years after all. Even if she did not figure out the role, she could still beat Yu Han, an inexperienced newcomer, when she acted according to the script.
It could only be said that Wei Wei was so focused on talking to CEO Zhao that she did not pay attention to Yu Han’s audition at all. Otherwise, she would not be so confident.
Bai Chao glanced at his cell phone. “Five minutes is up. You can start now.”
The director shouted for the start. Yu Han stood up first and stared at Wei Wei. She walked up to her step by step and looked down at her. The difference in her aura stunned Wei Wei.
I’m not targeting you, but your abnormal behavior and this necklace that exceeds your spending power, have fully proven that you’re indeed one of the most suspicious people in the class.”
Yu Han spoke objectively and her expression was very calm. However, Wei Wei, who was being stared at by her like this, felt that she was like a rat in the gutter.
“I-I-I-I…” Wei Wei was stunned by Yu Han’s aura and forgot the lines she had just memorized. She could not utter a complete line even after saying ‘I’ a few times.
Bai Chao shouted unhappily, “Didn’t you just memorize your lines? Why can’t you even remember the first line?”
As soon as the director spoke, Yu Han got out of character in a second. She retracted her gaze from Wei Wei and tactfully moved aside. After escaping that slightly suffocating gaze, Wei Wei came back to life and said to Bai Chao, “You shouted too suddenly. I didn’t react in time. Let’s do it again.”
Wei Wei did not believe that Yu Han, who was just a newcomer, could really suppress her in every scene. This time, she was fully mentally prepared. At the very least, she would not be suppressed by Yu Han the moment she came up.
However, Wei Wei still overestimated herself and underestimated Yu Han. Yu Han’s aura was too strong. The moment she saw that the oppressive aura enveloped her, Wei Wei subconsciously felt guilty and short of breath. A person who should be indignant after being framed, was acting like she had a guilty conscience.
The director showed the scene that he had just filmed to Wei Wei. In the scene, Yu Han seemed to have activated an automatic spotlight, making people focus their attention on her. Meanwhile, she, who was standing opposite her, did not have a presence at all.
From the scene, the difference between the two of them was even more obvious than what Wei Wei felt during the acting. However, Wei Wei was unwilling to admit defeat and retorted, “This is because Yu Han has long figured out the role of the second female lead. I only took a look at the script earlier, so I’m not familiar with it. Otherwise, how could she have the chance to suppress my scene?”
Seeing that she was stubborn, Bai Chao said, “Then the two of you can act together again. Yu Han will act as the first female lead, and you will act as the second female lead. This is the first time the two of you are acting together in new roles. Let’s see if she can still suppress your scenes this time.”
“No need!” Wei Wei instinctively rejected him. “It’s just an audition. She’s a newcomer. I don’t have much time to audition with her.”
Everyone present could tell what was going on as long as they had eyes. Even CEO Zhao looked at Yu Han thoughtfully. Only Wei Wei thought that as long as she did not act, she would not really lose to Yu Han.
Facing everyone’s knowing expressions, Wei Wei bit her lip and became even more determined to chase Yu Han out of the production team. Otherwise, she would be suppressed if Yu Han acted as the second female lead.
Hence, she turned around and worked harder to pester CEO Zhao. “I’ve already promised my cousin. My relatives already know about this. If I suddenly say that we won’t give the role to her, where will I put my face?”
Bai Chao was very calm about this. “CEO Zhao, as you can see, Yu Han is really suitable for this drama. I don’t think you want it to fail since you invested in this movie.”
CEO Zhao had invested a total of about five million yuan in this drama. This money was indeed nothing in his eyes, so he could easily use it to make his little lover happy. However, Bai Chao refuted his words several times in a row and it was too disrespectful to him. “It’s just five million yuan. As long as our Wei Wei has fun, I don’t mind even if I lose everything.”
Hearing his words, Bai Chao’s expression immediately turned ugly. In CEO Zhao and Wei Wei’s eyes, this was just a drama to play with. However, in Bai Chao’s eyes, this script was something he had spent two years polishing. He had also worked hard to get people into the production team. It was the hard work of their entire team.
