Chapter 83: Show Once And For All (1)

The first episode of “The Actor” would start soon. Cen Yu, well-known film emperor, was the host; Zhuang Jin, the new actor, was the permanent guest’ and Ye Sui, a popular actress with haters, was the special guest this time. There were too many things to watch.

The audience was eagerly waiting, and the netizens also gathered around their screens. Before the program started, a lot of comments appeared on the bullet screen.

“Looking forward to Cen Yu’s hosting. He will definitely not let us down!”

“Zhuang Jin and Ye Sui fought for Dior’s ambassador spot, and now, they are participating in this variety show together. Are these two people going to fight to the end?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Listen, everyone, Ye Sui is going to lose face. She overreached herself, trying to challenge a rising star. What gall!”

Cen Yu stepped onto the stage and said with a smile, “Good evening, everyone. This is my first time as a host...”

Once Cen Yu opened his mouth, the fans could not help screaming, “Wow! Idol is too handsome.”

After finishing his opening remarks, he began to introduce the permanent guests before Ye Sui as their special guest. Finally, he announced the process tonight.

“The first stage is a competition between Zhuang Jin and Ye Sui in acting skills. The program team has set a scene for them.”

Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin focused as Cen Yu continued, “I’ll play the role of a sick prince. I was framed and have a bad temper.”

“You’ll act as the prince’s maidservants and bring the medicine in. Make the rest of the plot according to your abilities.”

Ye Sui froze. Was that all? Zhuang Jin also felt odd.

Cen Yu: “The key point of this stage is to act by yourself. The direction of the plot is up to you to decide. I will act according to your performance.”

Cen Yu looked at the audience and made a joke, “I haven’t played such a role before. I hope everyone will be more tolerant.”

Cen Yu was so modest that the fans’ comments immediately filled the whole bullet screen.

Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin had a few minutes to think. As the resident guest, Zhuang Jin would perform first. She thought that if Ye Sui defeated her in the first stage, her face would be really lost.

So this time, she could only win; losing was not an option!

The netizens were also guessing who would be the winner. Anyway, their answers were consistent: of course, Zhuang Jin.

Ye Sui had played a slightly famous role as an unruly princess. But how much acting skill did that require? Now she had to think and act on her feet and wash their malicious comments away.

Ye Sui would definitely be abused by Zhuang Jin to the point that not a single scrap remained.

On this side, the play between Zhuang Jin and Cen Yu began.

When the light dimmed down, Cen Yu sat on the couch. The light only illuminated Cen Yu’s front, creating a dark atmosphere.

Zhuang Jin carried the medicine bowl and walked step by step to Cen Yu. She bent down and brought the medicine directly to him.

“Master, drink your medicine.”

Cen Yu’s voice was icy. He spat out two words without any expression, “Get out.”

Zhuang Jin knew that Cen Yu was playing the sickly, ill-tempered prince. She patiently pressed the bowl forward a little. “This medicine has just been prepared by this servant. Master should be careful about his own body...”

Before she could finish talking, Cen Yu’s face sank. He moved his hand, raised his sleeve, and suddenly slapped the medicine bowl.

“Bang!” The bowl fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Then came Cen Yu’s icy voice, “Get out!”

Zhuang Jin was frightened. She fell to the ground, and her eyes were horrified, as if Cen Yu had just played a tyrant character in reality.

Since the main character could no longer act, the lights trend back on, signifying the end of the play. Zhuang Jin waited for a while before standing up calmly, forgetting that she was still on the stage.

Cen Yu quickly snapped out of his acting role. He stood up and looked at Zhuang Jin apologetically. His voice had returned to its usual gentleness. “I’m sorry I scared you just now.”

The comment section suddenly burst into action.

“Oh, my! I almost cried! Cen Yu’s acting was so good! He is worthy of being my idol!”
