Chapter 297: Reject
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Erin did not expect Lu Zhen to reject her so bluntly without any hesitation. This was too much!
Erin sat down with an ugly expression. Her chest heaved violently, and a trace of hatred appeared in her heart. Lu Zhen, I’ll remember what happened today!
After rejecting Erin, Lu Zhen’s mood did not fluctuate. Her relationship with Erin was not deep to begin with. After participating in the travel variety show, they did not interact anymore. If Erin hated her for rejecting her, it meant that there was no sincere friendship between her and Erin. Why should she blame herself and feel guilty for rejecting Erin?
Lu Zhen looked calmly at the next celebrity student who was self- recommending.
In the director’s seat, Shire looked at Lu Zhen with interest and smiled. “This young lady is quite decisive!”
Han Chi was about to agree with Shire when he suddenly noticed that Wei Ji, who had always been out of place in the atmosphere of the entire show, was a little abnormal.
When Han Chi turned his head, he happened to see Wei Ji looking in Lu Zhen’s direction. Han Chi was very sure that Wei Ji’s usually unfocused eyes were looking at Lu Zhen.
Moreover, there was a hint of sized up and scrutiny in his eyes, like a housewife going to the supermarket to buy food seriously choosing cooking ingredients.
However, Wei Ji quickly retracted his gaze and returned to his sleepy appearance. He looked like a part-timer who was unwilling to work for the production team. One could not tell that he was serious at all.
Han Chi almost thought that he was hallucinating.
On the stage, someone stood up to make a self-recommendation. This time, it was Yi Fan who stood up.
After Yi Fan stood up, his fair face quickly turned red. His shy personality clearly made him feel very embarrassed. He almost did not dare to look up at the camera and the people on the stage. After taking a deep breath, Yi Fan mustered his courage and said, “I want to join the ‘Madam Sharon’ team!”
Before Yi Fan, Lu Zhen’s “Madam Sharon” team had already had one person join them. It was an actress in her forties who chose the role of the landlady in the movie.
Hearing Yi Fan’s words, Lu Zhen did not think for long. She quickly raised the microphone and nodded. “Welcome to Madam Sharon’s team.” Lu Zhen’s decision surprised everyone at the event location.
Erin was so angry that her face was almost purple.
What did Lu Zhen mean? She and Yi Fan were both idols. She had participated in a travel variety show with Lu Zhen before, but Lu Zhen had rejected her without hesitation. Now that Yi Fan said that she wanted to join her team, she actually agreed so readily?
Was she doing this on purpose?
In the director’s seat, Shire also looked puzzled. When other Class S or A students chose their teammates, they would basically ask some questions, such as how the other party understood this character or have a simple conversation.
However, Lu Zhen did not do so. When she chose the middle-aged actress who was playing the landlady, she did not ask anything and let her join the production team.
“It’s fine if Lu Zhen rejected him mercilessly, but why didn’t she ask more when she chose people? I really can’t understand the way young people do things these days,” Shire said as she held her chin.
Bai Ge leaned back in his chair and revealed a faint smile. “She knows in her heart. Of course, she doesn’t have to ask.”
“Knows in her heart?” Shire seemed to have understood something from Bai
Ge’s words. She looked at Bai Ge suspiciously. “No way? She’s only 18 years old. How can she be so confident in her judgment of people?”
Han Chi also looked over curiously and joked, “Yes, you don’t think so, right? At
Lu Zhen’s age, I’ve always been deceived by my seniors and juniors.”
Bai Ge sat up slightly and said slowly, “What’s so difficult about that? After the recording of the first episode, she just needs to go back and watch the recording of the others’ performances to roughly understand everyone’s standards. After choosing Madam Sharon, she just needs to briefly analyze the qualities of the other supporting actors.”
Han Chi understood. “Is that why she made her choice so quickly?”
“Yes, look, among B and C-rank actors, there are no more than three actors who are suitable to play Madam Sharon’s son with age and temperament. One of them has already gone to another team, and the other hasn’t expressed his stance yet, so Yi Fan is one of the best candidates Lu Zhen can choose. Now that Yi Fan has taken the initiative to join her team, she naturally won’t hesitate.”
“But,” Shire said worriedly, “Yi Fan is a newbie.. His ability should be about the same as Erin, right?”
