Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

hiss······

The gasp from the audience carried far.

Someone covered their mouth, astonished that Tan Wen had gone mad. Another girl kept tapping the shoulder of the girl next to her, saying, "He's so handsome! I'm going to be a fan!"

Ning Hao looked at Tan Wen with satisfaction; this feeling was right.

Chen Kaige revealed a cryptic smile, his thoughts unreadable.

The director was about to slap his thigh in frustration, thinking to himself: Let him talk, let him talk.

He also told the staff not to eliminate this genius in the later stages.

Sha Yi suppressed his curiosity and prepared to step forward to smooth things over.

Li Chengru spoke up: "Young actors have the right to express themselves. I don't think director Guo Jinming would be afraid to listen to different voices."

Guo Jinming lowered his eyes, his face ashen. He gestured for Tan Wen to speak.

Tan Wen walked to the seats of the three directors and said to Guo Jinming:

Regarding your first point, I would like to say that commentators do have an obligation to understand the subject of their commentary.

However, the speaker also has the obligation to express themselves accurately to avoid misunderstanding; these two obligations are equal.

Since the program can only perform excerpts, you need to use those excerpts to showcase the core of your work.

You can't expect everyone to have read your original work.

In this clip, all you see is melodrama; there's absolutely no evidence of school bullying.

After listening, Li Chengru scratched his bald head. With Tan Wen's guidance, he understood Guo Jinming's cunning.

He cast a touched look at Tan Wen; the boy was intelligent.

Tan Wen, unaware of everyone's inner thoughts, continued:

Regarding your second point, I would like to say that your work should at least be appreciated by a segment of the population.

Otherwise, even if I dislike urinating or defecating in public, should I allow it to happen? This argument itself is a fallacy of equivocation.

"Wonderful." Li Chengru couldn't help but applaud, and sparse applause also rang out from the audience.

In conclusion, Tan Wen stated, "Therefore, Director Guo Jinming, your rebuttal is invalid."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Even Sha Yi, who had a high emotional intelligence, didn't know how to salvage the situation for a moment.

Inside the observation room.

Chen Yao asked Zhou Ye, "Has Tan Wen always been this brave?"

Zhou Ye had experienced Tan Wen securing interviews for the two of them, so she was relatively calm at the moment.

"He has more courage than I imagined."

Chen Yao waved his hand in front of Zhou Ye's eyes, "Hey, why do I feel like you're a little infatuated?"

"Uh, really? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Ye turned her face away, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.

……

On the director's seat, Ning Hao and Chen Kaige exchanged a glance.

Ning Hao asked Tan Wen, "So you didn't agree with this performance from the beginning?"

Tan Wen nodded, "Yes, I even had some unpleasant arguments with Director Guo about this."

Ning Hao's eyes lit up. He looked at Guo Jinming and continued, "Now, can you reenact this scene in your own way?"

"Okay." Tan Wen immediately agreed. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. "However, I need to spend some time communicating with the actor I'm working with."

"No problem, you two can communicate on stage, we'll just wait."

……

Tan Wen immediately activated his cinematic language skills, and instantly, he felt he had a new perspective on aesthetics and a deeper understanding of the script's scenes and shots.

He started instructing Wang Churan and Yu Xiaotong. Although Yu Xiaotong was very unhappy, she had no choice but to cooperate...

Guo Jinming stared at them, his eyes vacant, as if his mind had wandered off somewhere.

Ning Hao and Chen Kaige discussed the matter sideways, nodding occasionally.

"His arrangement of this shot is effective."

"Shooting from this angle allows for a better portrayal of Wang Churan's emotions."

"He must have studied directing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use such professional language."

Tan Wen found that he really enjoyed the process of creating his works, and perhaps he could consider making a few of his own films in the future.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan Wen felt it was ready and signaled that filming could begin.

Tan Wen activated his advanced performance and advanced dialogue skills experience card, and also activated his expressive eyes.

In a short while, Tan Wen was already in character, and Wang Churan was also drawn into the role by his affectionate gaze. Only Yu Xiaotong's performance was somewhat stiff.

In the next few minutes, Tan Wen was completely in the zone.

There were no exaggerated movements, no excessive expressions; every change in his gaze was just right.

His voice was steady and his pronunciation was clear, making it easy to understand without needing subtitles.

Finally, all the performances came to an end.

Chen Kaige's eyes finally turned serious, and he spoke first:

"His delivery of lines is excellent, his eye acting is very expressive, and it's a very mature performance. This isn't something that can be improved simply by slightly changing the script."

Tan Wen, tell me honestly, were you hiding your true abilities before?

Tan Wen smiled at Chen Kaige, neither confirming nor denying.

But Chen Kaige interpreted that smile as tacit agreement, and he became increasingly curious about Tan Wen.

Ning Hao took a deep breath. "Although it's the same script, this acting style isn't melodramatic anymore. In my opinion, your understanding of the script is correct."

He glanced at Guo Jinming: "Director Guo, what do you think of this performance?"

"I won't comment on performances that disrespect the script," Guo Jinming replied casually.

At this point, Sha Yi saw that it was almost time and quickly cued the process:

"Now, directors, please give out your cards based on the actors' performances."

All three directors gave Wang Churan an A card, and in the end, Wang Churan chose Chen Kaige's group.

During the performance just now, Wang Churan's heart was racing as Tan Wen stared at her. She wasn't sure if it was because she was getting into character or because of the person in front of her.

She had the illusion that she truly loved the character played by Tan Wen during this performance.

She glanced at Tan Wen out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw him looking back, she quickly turned her head away, her heart racing again.

······

Yu Xiaotong received an A card, which was given to her by Guo Jinming.

Surprisingly, Guo Jinming also gave Tan Wen a card, but it was a B card, which, to some extent, was a rejection of Tan Wen.

Both Chen Kaige and Ning Hao gave Tan Wen an S card.

Everyone knows that this is a huge recognition of Tan Wen's acting skills.

Once the show airs, this scene will bring Tan Wen considerable benefits.

The other actors felt a pang of envy.

"Now it's Tan Wen's turn to choose," Sha Yi said at the opportune moment.

Tan Wen asked Wang Churan, "Do you still want to be in the same group as me?"

Wang Churan was both shy and embarrassed when asked this in public, and could only manage to say, "You have to follow your own heart."

Tan Wen looked away: "Thank you for your recognition, Director Ning Hao, but this time I would like to choose Director Kai's team."

"You..." Wang Churan was speechless, but he was mostly happy.

Ning Hao was displeased. "Tan Wen, isn't this a bit too frivolous?"

Tan Wen apologized again, saying, "I had a great time acting with Wang Churan, and I want to continue to maintain that feeling."

Having said all that, Ning Hao couldn't say anything more, while Chen Kai chuckled beside him.

······

This segment finally ended, and Tan Wen and the others walked off the stage and began to wait in the dressing room.

The recording of the show finally ended around 5 p.m.

Tan Wen greeted Wang Churan and prepared to leave the building.

Wang Churan wanted to say something to Tan Wen, but in the end she only said "See you next time".

Watching Tan Wen's departing figure, she felt inexplicably lost.

Back at the hotel, upon seeing Lu Yuxiao, before he could even speak, Lu Yuxiao asked, "Do you have anything planned for the National Day holiday?"

Tan Wen was taken aback by the question, and after a moment he realized that things were not going well.

Why are you asking this?

"Answer me first."

Tan Wen thought for a moment and knew she couldn't lie, because if she talked to He Mi'er, the truth would be exposed.

"I plan to go home to take care of some things."

Lu Yu's hesitant expression immediately melted away: "Can you take me with you?"

The worst thing still happened.

"You're already eager to meet my parents?" Tan Wen jokingly asked, while secretly planning what to do.

"Oh, I just want to go out and have some fun. If you mind, then forget it."

Tan Wen gently patted Lu Yu's head: "With you by my side, I won't be bored on the road."

······

Back in his room, he took out his phone and made a call.

Traveling with two girls feels a bit like having two boys on either side, so let's add another one; a triangle is stable.

"Haochun, do you have any plans for the National Day holiday?"
