Chapter 296: Doubt
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’s right. Don’t tell me she thinks she can compare to Audrey Wall just because she acted in a few movies? She’s still far from it!”
“Sigh, I don’t think the movie ‘Madam Sharon’ can be replicated on the stage of ‘Celebrity Performance Class 2′. The subsequent performance might be a disaster.”
The people who expressed their doubts were all ordinary netizens. Although Lu Zhen had many fans, not every netizen was her fan. Therefore, after the emcee announced everyone’s role selection, most people did not believe that Lu Zhen could act as Madam Sharon well.
Lu Zhen’s fans were very depressed when they saw the netizens’ doubts. Lu
Zhen had yet to perform, and these people were saying that she could not do it?
However, Lu Zhen’s fans had standards. They did not quarrel with those ordinary netizens and only watched the live-stream quietly. They silently cheered for Lu Zhen in their hearts, hoping that Lu Zhen could use her strength to shut those people up.
On the stage, the B and A-rank celebrity students began their self-recommendation segment.
To celebrities, self-recommendation was definitely a little shameful. However, after the first person took the first step, the others gradually relaxed their psychological burden and actively raised their hands to recommend themselves, fighting for the roles they wanted to perform.
After the self-recommendations ended, Erin raised her hand and looked at Lu Zhen. “Sister Zhenzhen, I want to join your team.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She did not expect Erin to take the initiative to enter her team.
The overall plot of Madam Sharon was relatively ordinary. The characters in the movie were basically mediocre people who could not quickly attract the attention of the audience on stage. Therefore, so far, no other celebrity students had chosen the characters in Madam Sharon.
Lu Zhen looked at Erin and met her gaze. A moment later, Lu Zhen bowed sincerely. “I’m sorry.”
Those two simple words were a rejection. The audience at the event location and the netizens in the live-stream did not expect Lu Zhen to reject them so decisively. Everyone discussed.
“Lu Zhen is too heartless. She and Aileen once participated in Let’s Go Together. Now that Erin wants to join her team, she actually rejected her without hesitation.”
“I thought Lu Zhen would let Erin join Madam Sharon’s team. I think Lu Zhen’s fans are always setting up a kind persona for her. Now, it seems that she’s not very kind either.”
“Agreed. There’s no such thing as a pure angel in the entertainment industry. Lu Zhen only looks innocent on the surface. Could it be that someone really believes her mask?”
These comments criticizing Lu Zhen for being heartless and cold made Lu Zhen’s fans extremely speechless. Xiaoxiao, who had been paying attention to the live-stream, was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Her fingers quickly typed on the keyboard and quickly counterattacked for Lu Zhen—
“Why? Is it not kind to not let Erin join the production team? Our Zhenzhen is responsible for the movie ‘Madam Sharon’! Think about it. With Erin’s acting skills, which character in the movie can she act well?
“If Erin screws up and the audience is unhappy, they will definitely complain about why Lu Zhen let Erin join the cast or scold her for being brainless. Anyway, no matter what Lu Zhen chooses, those who want to scold her will find a reason.’
Her small counterattack resonated with many people. Someone immediately said, “That’s right. Some fans shouldn’t slander Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen is participating in a competition, not playing house. She has to be responsible for her role and all the audience. Does Erin really want to act in Madam Sharon? I don’t think so. She’s just worried that she won’t have anywhere to go in the end. ”
“That’s right. She refuses to be morally kidnapped! Just because our Lu Zhen is kind doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a bottom line and principles. Some people are really an armchair quarterback!”
After Lu Zhen’s fans and some ordinary audience who liked Lu Zhen retorted, the voices criticizing Lu Zhen became much softer.
On the stage, Erin, who had been rejected by Lu Zhen, widened her eyes slightly. Then, her expression changed quickly, and embarrassment and anger flashed across her eyes.
Erin indeed wanted to enter Lu Zhen’s group with her friendship with Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen was the only SS-ranked contestant in the first episode. Her strength was unquestionable. Erin thought that it was better to rely on a big tree for protection and hoped that Lu Zhen would bring her to the next round.
In Erin’s opinion, Lu Zhen had a gentle and weak personality and was an easy person to talk to. In addition, this was the event location of the show. In front of all the audience and netizens, even if she was unwilling to let her join the production team, there was a high chance that she would agree to it for the sake of face and public opinion..
