Director Wang glanced at the man who was obviously speaking for Yue Ji expressionlessly. Tang Moning remained silent. This Tang Moning was brought in by Bai Guangjian’s ex-wife, and also squeezed out Zu Qi, who was supposed to play the male lead.
Now that Bai Guangjian’s ex-wife had overturned, Tang Moning’s acting skills alone were not enough to qualify him even for a small supporting role. His own position was in jeopardy, and he was still in the mood to worry about others.
Director Wang sneered in his heart and turned around to see a flustered Yue Ji bowing and apologizing. He suddenly felt a little irritated and waved his hand to indicate to the assistant director to let them play it again.
Zu Qi liked acting and enjoyed the process of acting. He lay down on the ground again without saying a word, frowned, and repeated the lines he just said with great emotion.
With his previous experience, Zu Qi performed more skillfully this time, even making people ignore his unmatched short hair, but Yue Ji, who was wearing a wig and fully equipped, continued to be stunned.
For some reason, Yue Ji was clearly prepared, but once he met Zu Qi’s deep and painful eyes, all his thoughts seemed to fly away in an instant.
“He is only suitable for stand-alone acting. Others’ emotions can easily lead him astray and he cannot act as a rival.” The assistant director pointedly pointed out the shortcomings in Yue Ji’s acting skills.
Director Wang nodded, turned to look at Bai Guangjian, and found that the producer was playing with his mobile phone boredly. He was speechless for two seconds, and then he interrupted Yue Ji, who was still stuttering when reciting his lines.
“Okay, that’s the end of this paragraph. Let’s switch your positions.”
Tang Moning was stunned and said awkwardly: “Director Wang, Yue Ji is a newcomer. He is very popular and has great potential. Why don’t we give him another chance?”
Director Wang glanced at Tang Moning without smiling: “Am I the director or are you the director?”
“…” Tang Moning immediately choked up and pursed his lips with a red face, not daring to talk so freely again.
Yue Ji knew that he had screwed up most of the audition. In desperation, he turned his eyes for help to Tang Moning, who had received a lot of money from him, but Tang Moning avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience.
For a moment, the anger of being deceived and betrayed rushed to Yue Ji’s forehead. His eyes were a little dark, but he did not dare to disobey Director Wang’s order.
After a while of deliberation, he lay down in the same posture as Zu Qi had just fallen to the ground, and then read out the lines forcefully, even the words Zu Qi had just thought of on the spur of the moment.
Zu Qi: “…”
Bai Guangjian twisted the corner of his mouth and smiled, and then other directors and screenwriters led by Director Wang also laughed softly.
Yue Ji was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to lie down on the ground and never get up again. He turned pale and closed his eyes. He thought that Zu Qi would be affected by the surrounding environment like him, but he didn’t know that Zu Qi fell into the drama in a second.
“I was kind to you with all my heart and soul, but in exchange you stabbed me in the back, wouldn’t your conscience hurt every night when you dream about it?!”
Zu Qi completely disappeared amidst the difficulty and pain of playing a good friend. His body was almost tense like a string, his eyes were half-closed, and the hostility in his body poured out without concealment.
Even though he still had a modern hairstyle, his sinister eyes and deep and decadent temperament made him seem to have transformed into another person in just half a minute, and this person was Wei Mohan.
Yue Ji was frightened by Zu Qi’s relaxed acting skills and was stunned on the spot again. But this time, Zu Qi, as the main performer, did not give him a chance to save himself. He squatted down and grabbed Yue Ji’s collar.
“Speak! Weren’t you very good at speaking just now?”
“Xin Ziheng, you will never repay what you owe me! I will keep your life, and I will watch you suffer in this world as you just survive.” Zu Qi had a ferocious look on his face, but his hand holding Yue Ji’s collar was trembling.
Yue Ji, who played the opposite role, was completely shocked by Zu Qi’s explosive acting skills and did not react for a long time.
After the words fell, the conference room seemed to be silent for a long time, and then there was a burst of slow applause.
When Director Wang and others saw Bai Guangjian standing up and applauding, they hurriedly broke away from the huge surprise and stood up to give warm applause.
“Okay! You performed very well!” Director Wang couldn’t wait to walk over and pat Zu Qi on the shoulder, looking excited as if he had just met him late. “You are the Wei Mohan I was looking for. I’ve finally waited for you!”
Yue Ji got up from the ground in embarrassment. No one around him noticed his presence. When he heard Director Wang say this, most of the blood on his face suddenly disappeared.
“Director Wang…” Yue Ji carefully took Director Wang’s hand, “I’m sorry I was a little nervous just now. Can I perform it again? I have been preparing for this role for a long time, and I have deferred many cooperations and specially invited teachers to guide me…”
Director Wang waved his hand to interrupt Yue Ji’s unfinished words. He frowned and said impatiently: “As an actor, the first thing you have to overcome is stage fright. There are less than ten people here in total, but you can’t even say a complete sentence, what will you do if a large group of people surround you when filming?”
Yue Ji was speechless. He couldn’t find any reason to refute Director Wang’s words.
Director Wang didn’t want to be entangled with Yue Ji anymore, so he waved to the assistant to come and take Yue Ji away, and at the same time told Zu Qi to stay.
“Director Wang!” Yue Ji’s eyes turned red.
He thought he was 100% confirmed, and he even lied in front of his agent and boss this morning. Unexpectedly, Director Wang fell in love with that idiot Zu Qi. How should he explain to everyone when he went back?
Director Wang didn’t know what Yue Ji was thinking. If he didn’t have acting skills, he would still have no acting skills, even if he stood here for several days and nights.
“Xiao Xu, why are you still standing there?” Director Wang shook off Yue Ji and grabbed his hand, and yelled at the assistant, “Take the person away quickly!”
The assistant knew that Director Wang was angry and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yue Ji out, but Yue Ji suddenly seemed to be stimulated. He pushed away the assistant and rushed towards Tang Moning who was still sitting in his seat like an arrow.
“Brother Tang, please speak up for me. Weren’t you sure that I can get that role? You can’t keep your word! You have charged me so much money, please persuade Director Wang!”
