Chapter 12
The audition started quickly, and the first one was the audition for the female supporting role.
The staff went to the next room and called each actor one by one.
Qi Xi was in the middle, and He Jia gathered the courage to talk to her: 'Teacher Qi, are you tired?' Qi Xi tapped her face and replied, 'I'm fine, I stayed up all night reading the script, so I've already gotten rid of my sleepiness.' Soon, it was her turn.
He Jia gave her a small gesture of encouragement and said, 'Good luck, Teacher Qi.' Qi Xi smiled and patted her, saying, 'You too.' I watched the live broadcast, my lips slightly pursed.
Qi Xi seems to be nice to everyone.
Oh, except for Gu Yan.
Her friendly demeanor doesn't seem to be just for me.
When I came to this conclusion, I felt a bit uncomfortable.
It's really strange.
...
I wasn't sitting in the judges' seat, but standing behind the scenes watching.
When Qi Xi entered, the entire audition hall seemed to light up for a moment.
Director Wang didn't show much expression and only asked a few questions before indicating that she could start performing.
This scene was about a undercover courtesan seducing the enemy prince to obtain information.
It wasn't an easy performance.
Qi Xi pulled a chair and placed it in the center of the stage, playing the role of the prince.
She leaned against it, slanted, as if boneless.
The hair on her forehead brushed against her face, and every movement and gesture was seductive.
Her dialogue was clear and filled with a hint of charm.
Her facial expressions were completely natural, as if she had walked out of a book as a courtesan.
Watching her, my face turned red, holding my phone, my body stiff.
It felt as if I had become that chair...
In a place I didn't notice, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded.
'Oh my god...
My mom asked me why my nose was bleeding.' 'Mom, I've been seduced by a girl!' 'Qi Xi is truly the chosen courtesan...
I'm voting for her!' 'This is incredible, absolutely incredible!' "
"Qi He's acting is pretty good, if she could control her mouth, she would definitely have been famous by now.” ...
Qi He's votes quickly skyrocketed and soon occupied the top spot in the selection ranking for the third female lead.
By the time I snapped back to reality, her performance had already ended.
Director Wang's attitude had improved a lot, even smiling on his face: "You've worked hard, go back and wait for the news." After Qi He left, I walked out from behind the scenes.
When Director Wang saw me, he exclaimed, "You have a good eye, she is a talented newcomer." Hearing this, I felt a bit surprised.
Not long ago, someone had criticized my judgement.
