She was dressed like a rich young lady who was the center of attention today, but at this moment, her situation was like the leftover rotten vegetables from the market. This contrast made Lu Rou feel like a clown.
She pretended to be calm as she lifted her skirt and walked down. She looked at Erin. “What are we going to act in?”
“Leather Drum Opera. Have you seen it?” Erin looked terrible.
Lu Rou frowned and shook her head.
The person next to Erin raised his hand carefully. “I’ve seen the simplified version of the commentary. It’s a movie about inheriting the intangible cultural heritage.”
“It sounds very boring. Who would like to watch such a movie? Not to mention that we’re performing on stage at an event location. The audience won’t fall asleep just by watching, right?” Another man with light gray hair interrupted.
The atmosphere between the four of them was very low. Before the performance began, they were already filled with dissatisfaction and fatigue. One could imagine that the final performance would not be very good.
Moreover, this episode was an elimination round. If they did not perform well, all four of them might have to leave. This feeling of not wanting to do it, but having to work hard to do it, was really too terrible. It was even worse than going to work.
Erin sighed and said weakly, “Forget it, let’s make do. Lu Rou, the female lead is assigned to you. You can command.”
Faced with such a movie, Erin had no intention of fighting for leadership at all. She only wanted to finish acting and go home.
Erin was extremely regretful now. She shouldn’t have come to this lousy program. The hot-blooded scene of the zero-foundation new actor in her fantasy had not appeared. Instead, she had been embarrassed.
The four of them quickly arrived at the rehearsal room. Lu Rou changed into light clothes and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She held the script in her hand and frowned after reading the content. Lu Rou said, “Familiarize yourself with the script first and remember your lines. Act in half an hour to find the feeling.”
Lu Rou’s arrangements were very conventional, and no one had any objections.
The four of them began to read the script and painstakingly memorize the lines. As the female lead of this movie, Lu Rou had the most lines. She memorized till her head hurt and she wished she could tear the script into pieces.
Just as Lu Rou was feeling extremely irritable, the door of the rehearsal room was suddenly pushed open. The staff looked at Lu Rou through the gap and said, “Miss Lu, come out for a while.’
“What’s the matter?! Can’t you see that I’m busy?” Lu Rou was already in a bad mood. She had forgotten a few pages of her lines. Now that she was disturbed by the staff, her expression turned even uglier as she shouted angrily.
The staff member shrunk his neck. After a few seconds, he said, “Teacher Jiang Fei is looking for you.”
The staff member’s words stunned Lu Rou. Jiang Fei was looking for her? Did she hear wrongly?
Why was Jiang Fei looking for her? Lu Rou put down the script and walked over in confusion. The staff led her to an empty room and closed the door.
After entering the room, Lu Rou saw a tall man standing in front of the huge window. The man had an extremely good temperament. Even the shallow creases on his clothes carried an indescribable charm. After the man turned around, Lu Rou looked at his handsome face and was stunned for a few seconds. She asked timidly, “Hello, Teacher Jiang. Why are you looking for Teacher Jiang? Jiang Fei didn’t expect Lu Rou to call him that, but on second thought, this title was reasonable. He couldn’t ask Lu Rou to call him father right away, right?
Jiang Fei’s gaze swept gently across Lu Rou’s face, memorizing every detail of her facial features.
Lu Rou didn’t seem to have inherited any of his and his wife’s characteristics. She didn’t look like them, but that was fine. One of his brother’s two children looked like his brother, but the other didn’t look like either of them.
Who could say for sure about genetics? Before he decided to see Lu Rou, Jiang Fei had already mentally prepared himself. Although he was very excited now, he still looked normal on the surface.
Jiang Fei revealed a gentle smile. “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask you how your preparations are going.”
Lu Rou was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Jiang Fei was here to guide the celebrity students? Why didn’t he guide the S-rank and A-rank students? Could it be that he felt that she was too lousy and needed more help?
Lu Rou forced a smile. “It’s alright. Our team is acting in ‘Leather Drum Opera’.
We’re already preparing. We’ll rehearse later.”
“Oh, I see. Can I take a look?” Jiang Fei tried his best to maintain his calm tone, but he was looking forward to spending more time with Lu Rou..
