Chapter 19 Casting Assistant, Xiao Liu
This game-winning shot completely extinguished the last shred of reason in the entire arena!
The entire room fell silent for a second.
Followed by.
Whoosh—!!!
The applause was thunderous, almost lifting the roof off the auditorium!
"good!!!"
"marvelous!"
"This is way too sweet!"
"Goddess! Goddess!"
"I really want to be in a relationship!"
"My health bar is empty! Holy crap!"
The music stopped.
Jiang Bai stood in the center of the stage, slightly out of breath, her face flushed from exercise, making her look even more beautiful and alluring.
But he didn't collapse from exhaustion like before.
The stamina bar is still more than half full.
Very stable!
At this moment, in the front row of the judges' seats.
The most senior head of the vocal music department, an elderly professor with gray hair, clapped enthusiastically, disregarding his image.
He picked up the microphone, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Bai:
"Excuse me, student, please wait a moment."
Jiang Bai stood obediently in place, holding the microphone, and said in a sweet voice:
"Hello, teacher!"
The old professor pushed up his glasses, his voice barely concealing his excitement:
"Is this song really your original composition?"
Jiang Bai remained calm and composed, her face showing complete innocence.
"Yes, teacher, I wrote both the lyrics and the music myself."
Since the system has already registered the copyright, it's mine.
Can something that's been plagiarized be called plagiarism?
That's called cultural dissemination!
"Good! Very good!"
The old professor said "good" twice.
"It's rare to see young people these days who can write such mature and well-executed works."
"Especially the arrangement, it's very avant-garde and full of ideas!"
"And your singing skills are excellent. Your breath control is very stable, and your voice is very distinctive. Have you had special training?"
Jiang Bai smiled modestly:
"I just practiced randomly, I'm sorry the teacher laughed at me."
"You can achieve this level through haphazard practice?" the old professor laughed. "Then you're a genius!"
The female dance teacher next to me also grabbed the microphone:
"And the dance accompanying the song, although the moves are simple, is incredibly infectious!"
"That youthful feeling... I almost wanted to go up and dance with you!"
"Jiang Bai, right? You're in the performing arts department?"
"Would you be interested in transferring to our dance department? Or the vocal department would be great too!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Poaching people on the spot?
That's incredibly high praise!
Jiang Bai quickly waved his hand:
"Thank you for your kind words, teacher. I still prefer acting."
joke.
Are you supposed to stretch every day in the dance department? Or practice your voice every day in the vocal department?
All he wants is to lie down and collect the money, okay?
Several judges asked a few more questions about his creative inspiration, which Jiang Bai brushed off with platitudes like "a flash of inspiration" or "it happened in a dream."
At last.
The old professor put a heavy checkmark on the grading sheet and wrote down an astonishing score.
"Alright, go and rest."
"I'm really looking forward to your performance at the official gala."
"This song, 'Love You,' is definitely going to be a hit at the Shanghai Theatre Academy this year!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Bai bowed, and amidst the applause and gazes of the crowd, she lifted her skirt and gracefully walked off the stage like a triumphant queen.
As soon as I entered the backstage side door.
Jiang Bai's sweet smile vanished instantly.
Instead, he looked relieved.
"call……"
"The performance is over."
"I'm exhausted."
He patted his somewhat stiff cheeks.
I almost laughed myself silly just now trying to maintain that smile.
Although the singing category is not finished yet.
But judging from the judges' reactions just now, this million should be a sure thing!
Right at this moment.
A figure suddenly darted out from the side and blocked his way.
"Jiang Bai!"
Jiang Bai was startled and looked closely.
It's Lin Feng, the one who sang the sad version of "Love You".
At this moment, Lin Feng was excited, his eyes flashing with a strange light as he stared intently at Jiang Bai.
"Um... I'm Lin Feng!"
"He's the one who sang 'Love You'!"
"We...we're so destined to meet!"
Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the senior who was wagging his tail like a golden retriever.
Damn it.
Who are you destined to meet?
But he's still dressed as a woman, so he can't break character.
So he could only smile politely but awkwardly, and say in that aloof, goddess-like voice:
"Yeah?"
"That's quite a coincidence."
"You sang really well, keep it up!"
After saying that, she didn't give Lin Feng a chance to continue chatting. She simply turned sideways, bypassed him, and quickly walked out of the auditorium.
Lin Feng stood there, watching the goddess's departing figure.
Instead of getting angry, she covered her chest with a look of bliss.
"She called me 'senior'..."
"She complimented me..."
"She said I sang quite well..."
"She also encouraged me to keep going..."
"She has feelings for me!"
Lin Feng chuckled foolishly, completely unaware that it was just a polite remark.
……
As soon as Jiang Bai stepped out of the side door of the auditorium, a night breeze blew, and he felt a chill on his back from the sweat.
Although his 9 points of stamina meant he wouldn't be completely exhausted after the dance, wearing such a non-breathable long skirt and a wig was definitely not a pleasant experience.
"They've withdrawn, they've withdrawn."
"Hurry up and go to the restroom to remove your makeup. If the rest of the group comes back from night training and sees you like this, it will truly be a masterpiece."
Jiang Bai lifted her skirt and was about to run towards the toilet in the old teaching building.
Sudden.
A dark figure darted out from behind a nearby ornamental tree.
"Found it!"
"I've finally found it!"
"I've been looking for you for two whole days!"
Jiang Bai was so startled that he almost kicked him.
Take a closer look.
He was a young man wearing a baseball cap and a name tag.
The man was still holding a cell phone in his hand, sweating profusely and panting heavily.
If it weren't for his excited expression, as if he had won five million, Jiang Bai would have thought he was a perverted stalker fan!
The young man, not even bothering to catch his breath, raised his phone and gestured towards Jiang Bai.
On the phone screen was the viral "smiling with head down" image that had gone viral across the internet.
He glanced at his phone, then at Jiang Bai in front of him.
His eyes were wide open, like copper bells.
"So alike! Absolutely so!"
"No! She's even more beautiful in person than in photos!"
"That aura, that figure... my goodness, Director Yu has a really sharp eye!"
Jiang Bai looked completely bewildered, instinctively took a step back, and asked coldly in a falsetto:
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Could it be the school's disciplinary team? Catching cross-dressers?
The young man then realized his rudeness, quickly wiped his sweat, put on what he thought was a very gentlemanly smile, and handed over a business card:
"Um... beautiful classmate, don't misunderstand!"
"I'm not a bad person!"
"I'm Liu, the casting assistant for director Yu Zheng."
"Director Yu Zheng?" Jiang Bai was taken aback.
That name sounds familiar!
In this world, he is also the famous "Godfather of Historical Dramas". Although he is controversial, his ability to create stars is first-class.
Seeing that Jiang Bai reacted, Xiao Liu immediately seized the opportunity:
"Yes! It's director Yu Zheng, who directed 'Palace'!"
"We saw your photos online and were absolutely amazed!"
"Director Yu is currently preparing for his major production of the year, 'Beauty's Rival in Palace,' and he has been looking for actors for several very important roles."
"I've been waiting outside the auditorium for ages, and I've finally found you!"
"Beautiful lady, would you be interested in auditioning for a role?"
