Chapter 380: Choice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Then, four directors walked out from the middle of the door. Each director was holding a stack of hard cards in the shape of a milk box with a show logo on them. The reason why it was printed as a milk box was because the brand sponsor of Celebrity Performance Class 2 was a dairy brand.
After the four directors arrived, the production team’s executive director’s voice came from the loudspeaker and echoed in the greenhouse—
“Dear celebrity students, the recording of the third episode will officially begin. All celebrity students can choose the director you like first. After the director announces the content of the script and the introduction of the role, the A- and S-rank students can choose the director’s script again.
“After the students are selected, they will enter the director’s counter-selection segment. The actors who are not chosen by the director will enter the waiting area and wait for the production team to assign the roles.”
The rules of the selection segment were relatively simple, Students of Class S and A had two chances to choose. Students of other levels could only choose once. Upon hearing this news, the students who did not get a high rating in the previous performance were a little depressed.
Then, the students of each level stood in the open area in front of the four directors in order from low to high. After two minutes, the difference in the number of students who chose different directors began to widen.
The empty space in front of Director Bai Ge was the most crowded, accounting for almost half of the people who had already been chosen. Next was Shire, and lastly, Han Chi. As for the empty space in front of Director Wei Ji… there was no one.
That’s right, there was no one.
Lu Zhen and Yang Na looked at each other. Yang Na said with some emotion,
“Is everyone so afraid of Director Wei Ji?”
Lu Zhen smiled and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Yang Na was silent for two seconds. “I’m afraid.”
Lu Zhen fell silent. In fact, Director Wei Ji t s appearance and expression were not very fierce, but when he looked at you like that, you would feel like a primary school student facing a teacher. Although you did not do anything, you would feel nervous and afraid of breathing freely. You would also worry that you would be scolded in the next second.
Of course, in most cases, this would not happen either. Because it was very likely that Wei Ji would not even look at you. A moment later, it was the A-rank students’ turn to choose. Lu Zhen asked Yang Na in a low voice,
“Which director do you want to choose?”
Yang Na did not say her choice directly. “In any case, I have two choices. I can make a decision after reading the script. What about you? Do you want to choose Director Bai Ge directly?”
Lu Zhen already had her own thoughts, so she naturally wouldn’t choose Director Bai Ge anymore. However, looking at the empty space in front of Director Wei Ji, Lu Zhen had a headache.
Ye Xuan thought so highly of Wei Ji, but now, none of the students at the eventlocation chose him. Lu Zhen was a little worried for him. At the same time, she was also worried for herself. If no one else took the initiative to choose Wei Ji, who else would she act with?
Soon, it was Lu Zhen’s turn to make a choice. Countless pairs of eyes at the event location looked at Lu Zhen. As the most outstanding celebrity student since the show started, everyone was very curious about which director Lu Zhen would choose.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a few seconds and slowly walked towards the empty space in front of Director Wei Ji.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. After Lu Zhen stood still, discussions came from the students, as if bees were gathering and chirping. Obviously, no one expected Lu Zhen to choose Director Wei Ji, who was the least popular.
Lu Rou looked at Lu Zhen standing alone in the empty space in front of Director Wei Ji and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “She’s the only one? She wants to steal the show so badly? Disgusting.”
In Lu Rou’s opinion, when no one chose Director Wei Ji, Lu Zhen chose Wei Ji purely to attract attention. Erin nodded too. “She’ll definitely leave after the script is announced. What a hypocrite.”
Lu Rou and Erin both chose Director Bai Ge t s team. Erin chose with Lu Rou, and Lu Rou chose Bai Ge purely because Bai Ge looked gentler.
Lu Rou remembered that Shire and Han Chi had said bad things about her during the review segment. She hated this.
Just as Lu Rou was thinking about these things, someone suddenly squeezed her from the side. She leaned back and almost fell. A pair of arms caught her in time. Lu Rou turned around and saw Jin Zhan’s familiar face. Lu Rou’s expression turned ugly. She immediately took two steps back and glared at Jin Zhan angrily.. “Why are you so close to me?”
