Chapter 423 - Her Acting Was Amazing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’ve worked with Wanwan a few times. Her acting skills are considered the best out of all these actresses. Come, Wanwan. Demonstrate a little for everyone. How will you act out this crying scene? Show everybody your ability.”

Qin Wanwan smiled and stood up. She went over, “You’re making me shy with your compliments, Senior. I’m not an expert at crying scenes actually. Just don’t laugh at me.”

Everyone watched as Qin Wanwan picked up the script.

She looked at the script for a while and then started cultivating her expression. Within two minutes, her eyes became watery.

Everyone thought that she was very impressive. She could immerse herself in such a short time.

After that, Qin Wanwan went limp. Her hands trembled as she looked straight into the pretend-camera and recited her lines.

Her face was in agony as tears rolled down her cheeks. Everyone also started feeling sad as they watched her pitiful demeanor.

The few people at the back couldn’t help but marvel at her.

Qin Wanwan’s acting skills were indeed impressive. She became so immersed in such a short time and her expressions moved the audience.

When she was done, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Qin Wanwan smiled as she stood up and her expression returned to normal. She smiled as she wiped her tears away and said to everybody, “Thanks for all your support.”

“Wanwan, you’re really amazing.”

“Wanwan, you cried so convincingly. Your tears even flowed out so quickly.”

“And your performance was so real. It was great.”

The teacher said from behind, “The crying scene is our most basic course. Of course, the basics can also be very challenging. Wanwan did a good job and can be considered the model among our actresses now. Of course, all of you have to continue working hard too.”

Just then, someone looked at Lin Che and thought about how Mu Feiran praised her so much just now. Seeing her stand behind so quietly, she said, “Hey, wasn’t Lin Che praised by Senior Mu Feiran so much just now? Can Lin Che demonstrate for us too?”

Everyone saw this and also started chiming in as they wanted to see her embarrass herself.

The crying scene was only such a brief moment. Even if Lin Che performed as well at Qin Wanwan, it didn’t prove anything. But if she didn’t perform as well as Qin Wanwan, she would definitely be mocked.

Qin Wanwan also looked behind her and said to Lin Che, “Lin Che, give it a go. It’s just for fun and everyone says that your acting skills are very good. Don’t be so secretive. Let us learn from you.”

Lin Che looked at Qin Wanwan, “No thanks. Your acting was already very good. I shouldn’t mess things up.”

The teacher saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and he hadn’t worked with Lin Che before. But Lin Che’s performance usually didn’t have such strong results. They were all some idol dramas or ancient dramas with no great emotional fluctuations. He also couldn’t tell how Lin Che’s acting really was like from these shows. So upon seeing Lin Che now, he thought that she indeed knew some people who were better than these seniors who became a teacher. However, she wasn’t better than Qin Wanwan at anything else.

Seeing everyone say this, he also said to Lin Che, “That’s right, Lin Che. Let us see your performance. We’ll see if it’s good or bad.”

Lin Che took a deep breath and looked at the teacher, “Okay then. I’ll give it a go.”

Lin Che received the script and looked at the words on it. It said that the female lead found out that the male lead who was the emperor went missing in the rebellion war. This left her as a widow and her orphaned children to face a thousand soldiers and horses outside. A feeling of sorrow filled her.

Lin Che looked quietly and then lifted her head, “I’m ready.”

“Then you can begin.” Everyone was waiting to see what she was going to do.

Lin Che looked ahead with a withered expression. Her eyes were hollow as if she had just lost everyone around her.

She stepped forward, but her legs were weak and she fell on the ground. She propped herself up with the step. She wanted to get up but she couldn’t. The veins on her hands were trembling as if she was trying her best, but she still couldn’t get up.

After a long while, time seemed to be frozen there, undisturbed by anyone else.

She reached an arm out again, her lips quivering as she looked ahead. But her face didn’t have any other expression. There only was that shaking shoulder that made people feel that this seemingly strong woman was still trying to be strong.

She opened her mouth and called out the male lead’s name, “Nianchu... Nianchu...”

“Okay, for you, I’ll watch over this land.”

“I’ll wait for you, I’ll wait for you to come back!”

Her voice fell and teardrops were already rolling down her face.

Everyone’s jaws instantly dropped as they looked at Lin Che with stunned expressions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She clearly didn’t have any expression just now, and her eyes weren’t even red. However, they suddenly teared up the moment she stopped talking.

They could imagine that she planned when her tears would fall: not too early or not too late. This moment was just right to show the female lead’s strength, will, and her love for the male lead. She loved him so much that she would hold her tears for him at any time. Only at the last moment after she strengthened her own beliefs to protect the land for him did her tears really fall.

Lin Che finished the scene.

Everyone didn’t seem to realize it until someone at the back yelled, “Good!”

After that, everyone then started clapping.

To control one’s tears according to one’s own timing was extremely difficult and they were naturally all aware of it.

There were many times when the control of emotions would not be able to keep up with the rhythm. Thus, many actresses now could only rely on cut scenes to complete the whole scene when they couldn’t control their emotions.

However, Lin Che had complete control over her own emotions.

Everyone looked at Lin Che in awe. The teacher also couldn’t help but push up his glasses. He looked at Lin Che and said, “Lin Che, I didn’t expect your acting to be so remarkable. However, this is only the basics in drama school. You still need to work hard.”

Everyone could hear that the teacher was simply talking a load of bull. It was totally different from when he praised Qin Wanwan endlessly. Now, Lin Che acted so well that she didn’t lose out to those veterans. That was very rarely seen among actresses. However, he said it as if this was only natural.

He was obviously biased.

Qin Wanwan looked at Lin Che from behind. Her expression was ugly for a while before it finally returned to normal.

Those TV dramas really didn’t fully showcase Lin Che’s acting skills. And it was actually clear that her acting skills in Gu Jingyu’s movie this time was really going to be on another level.

After this, everyone looked at Lin Che with a lot more respect.

However, everyone still believed that Lin Che drugged Qin Wanwan and it indeed wasn’t right. Thus, it was normal for her to be degraded.

After all, Lin Che basically admitted it herself. Why else would she give in and suddenly back out from the awards?
