“…”
Qin Shuang was stunned. She looked at Xue Xi and said, “Sister Xi, I thought you would tell me to be myself.”
Xue Xi was perplexed. “That’s not acting, right?”
Since she was going to be filming, she should pretend to be a character in the drama. Why should she be herself?
Of course, Xue Xi was not a narcissist who felt that Qin Shuang could be invincible just by imitating her. It was just that when she first entered, the stage supervisor’s gaze on her was too intense.
The character was probably very similar to her.
While the auditionees were going in one by one earlier, Xue Xi, who was not very familiar with Weibo, tried to find out more about this drama.
The drama was adapted from a novel. She quickly searched for the original novel, and using her powerful studying and comprehension ability, she quickly found a couple of paragraphs. The novel described the role to be someone as ethereal as a fairy. When she got into a car accident and passed away, the novel also said that such a fairy must surely have returned to Heaven.
According to these two paragraphs, Xue Xi deduced that this role could not be a white lotus character like Qin Lu. Instead, she should be a distant and aloof type.
Hence, she gave this suggestion.
Qin Shuang remained silent and trusted Sister Xi deeply. She nodded and entered the room.
In the audition room.
Cen Bai played with the pen in front of him in boredom. He frowned and asked, “Does that person have anything to do with elegance?”
The assistant director sighed. “It can’t be helped. You’ve seen it for yourself. That was the best fit to the image we were looking for today. Let’s just give her some pointers. When we need to do a long shot, let’s film her from the back. We can’t linger in the school for too long. Sigh. Students are students after all. No one their age has that kind of temperament.”
The word “emotional” reminded Cen Bai of Sister Xi, who was in the equipment room today. She stood by the door, and in the dim light, she was surrounded by a group of people, but she seemed to be all alone and aloof. She fit this role quite well.
But Sister Xi would never act!
Cen Bai suddenly lost his interest. He leaned back lazily and said, “Whatever.”
The assistant director was also a little disinterested. He only wanted to quickly deal with the next auditionee and settle the role. After all, he had wasted too much time here.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a lithe and graceful figure walked in. However, compared to the person from before, her eyes were evasive this time and she did not look dignified.
The assistant director paused. “Why are you here again?”
After Qin Shuang entered, she looked at Cen Bai guiltily. That patch of swelling was indeed quite obvious. No wonder others saw it.
When she entered the room, she was a little angry because Cen Bai had praised Qin Lu. However, when she saw Cen Bai’s expression, she instantly forgave him! She even nearly asked:
Hubby. Sob. Does it hurt?
She held it in, but there was a look of guilt and frustration on her face. How could she hit her husband?
The moment she saw her idol, she’d been so nervous that she did not know where to put her hands and feet. She then heard the assistant director speak and was instantly stunned. “Huh?”
The assistant director looked down at the name list: Qin Shuang. The last one was Qin Lu.
The assistant director instantly understood. “Twins?”
Cen Bai only looked up when he heard this.
Ah ah ah, my idol is looking at me!
Qin Shuang immediately tensed up her chin and did not dare to look straight at him. She lowered her head and felt Cen Bai’s gaze sweep past her. She was so nervous that she could barely speak. “Ah, yes, yes, twins.”
Seeing this, the assistant director frowned again and said, “Fine, you may leave.”
How could she appear on screen in this pathetic manner?
When she heard that, Qin Shuang’s face turned pale. She knew that the assistant director meant no. It was all her fault for being too nervous when she saw her idol!
She had wanted to be given another chance, but she felt embarrassed because she did not manage to grasp it when it came.
Lowering her head, she glanced at her idol and turned to leave.
At this moment, that devilish voice sounded. “Do you know how to play the piano?”
Qin Shuang paused and her eyes lit up.
My idol is talking to me?
She hurriedly nodded. “Yes!”
Cen Bai’s slender fingers tapped on the piano. “One segment.”
Qin Shuang was not stupid. She naturally knew that Cen Bai was giving her another chance! If she could not grasp it this time, it would really be over.
In the drama, my idol likes this character.
If Qin Lu were to play her, Qin Shuang would probably vomit blood from anger. She definitely could not let Qin Lu ruin her husband!
Thinking of this, she regained her fighting spirit.
Qin Shuang took a deep breath and stood up.
What was Sister Xi usually like? She looked down on everything, as though no one could catch her eye.
Qin Shuang had always been an unruly girl. Now that she was treating the matter seriously, the assistant director and Cen Bai saw that the girl in the school uniform’s aura had suddenly changed.
She slowly walked to the piano and sat down. She placed her hands on the piano and started playing.
The assistant director’s eyes lit up!
The girl was still wearing her school uniform, but while playing the piano, she became cool and cold. Hope bloomed in his eyes!
This girl is very malleable! She is suited for acting! She is a natural actress!
After Qin Shuang finished playing, the assistant director decided, “It’s you!”
Qin Shuang turned around. When she heard this, she was so excited that she almost jumped up! She was going to act with her idol! She would get close to him through acting!
As she thought of this, her gaze landed on Cen Bai. She saw her idol leaning lazily against the chair and staring at her.
Under her excited gaze, Cen Bai said lazily, “The stationery box was pretty hard.”
Qin Shuang’s body stiffened. All her joy and excitement froze instantly. She slowly raised her head as though she was petrified. The expression on her face slowly cracked…
He realized it.
He recognized her.
Wuwuwu…
I can’t bring myself to face anyone!
…
When Qin Shuang came out of the audition room, she almost walked out awkwardly. The expression on her face was definitely not good. She felt like she was about to cry.
Xue Xi was stunned to see her like this.
Was she wrong? That shouldn’t be the case.
Everyone else also misunderstood when they saw her like this.
Li Hanlei sneered. “Look at her. Those who didn’t know better will think that she was heartbroken!”
Qin Shuang: “…”
That’s right, didn’t this mean that her heart had broke?!
However, Qin Lu smiled and said, “Ah Shuang, don’t be too sad. After all, you can still be an extra. What if you got the chance to get close to Cen Bai? Of course, if you want an autograph, my words just now are still valid. After all, I’m to be Cen Bai’s first love in the drama. It’ll be easy to get an autograph.”
After she said this, the door to the audition room opened again. The assistant director walked out and announced happily, “The winner of today’s audition is… Qin Shuang!”
Following this, Qin Lu stood up and smiled.
But the next moment, her smile froze.
The assistant director just said… Who?
