Chapter 309: What’s Wrong?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As an old actress who had been in the industry for many years, Gu Meng could be said to be very good at observing details. Although Lu Zhen pretended to
be very natural, she still felt that Lu Zhen’s mentality was very unstable.
What was wrong with Lu Zhen?
Gu Meng looked at Lu Zhen’s side profile. After half a minute, she patted Lu
Zhen’s shoulder gently. “Zhenzhen, I have something to tell you.”
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment before standing up and walking to the corner of the waiting area with Gu Meng.
“Teacher Gu…” Lu Zhen gritted her teeth and guessed that Gu Meng had probably seen through her abnormality.
Gu Meng looked at Lu Zhen with a serious expression. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Lu Zhen opened her mouth, but she could not answer Gu Mengs question. Her eyes, which had been barely smiling, dimmed a little. Her shoulders drooped, and she looked tired and sad.
“I’m sorry, Teacher Gu. I’ll adjust my condition,” Lu Zhen said in a low voice.
Gu Meng looked at Lu Zhen. A few seconds later, she suddenly held Lu Zhen’s hand with her rough hands and said in the gentle tone of an elder comforting a junior, “Good child, although I don’t know what made you like this, I hope you can put those things aside for the time being. You’re going on stage to perform the show you personally chose later. You’ve sacrificed so much for this role, and you performed very well during rehearsal. You shouldn’t be defeated by anything at the last moment.”
Lu Zhen looked at Gu Meng and felt the warmth of her palm. Her heart, which was riddled with holes, instantly absorbed a trace of courage and strength from Gu Mengs encouraging gaze.
Yes, she shouldn’t be defeated by temporary grief. She was a person who had been reborn. God had given her a chance to turn her fate around. A sudden accident didn’t mean the end result. Her progress couldn’t be stopped by anything.
She was in pain now, but she had to continue walking bravely! Inadvertently, Lu Zhen suddenly saw her current appearance reflected in the glass ornament beside her. At this moment, she was wearing an old dress. Her hair was withered and yellow, and the corners of her eyes drooped tiredly.
This was the role she was about to perform—Madam Sharon.
Images from “Madam Sharon” appeared in Lu Zhen’s mind. Yang Na’s description of Madam Sharon’s prototype also sounded in Lu Zhen’s ears.
Madam Sharon was a person who stood firmly against life in pain and despair.
Lu Zhen seemed to see a blurry figure waving at her in her heart. The figure slowly approached her and then fused into her soul. She felt her tired and sad heart suddenly fill with strength. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her mind was extremely clear. Many things that she had not understood before suddenly became clear.
Gu Meng felt Lu Zhen change. In an instant, Lu Zhen seemed to have become a different person. Her eyes were as bright as black gems soaked in water, and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in the center of her pupils.
“Teacher Gu, thank you.” Lu Zhen took a deep breath and said calmly but firmly, “1 won’t be defeated. I’ll do my best to perform the best!”
Gu Meng smiled. “Alright, let’s work hard together!”
On the stage, the four directors and flying guests had already watched a few sets of performances. Most of the groups had a lot of problems with their performance. Either the actors of a certain role had not handled the details of the performance well, or several people had acted separately. Or they had misunderstood the meaning of classic works and could even portray tragedy as a comedy.
Shire rubbed her forehead. “Can this be called a classic reenactment? It’s simply destroying the classic. I don’t even want to watch it anymore.”
Han Chi comforted her. “It’s only a few groups. Don’t be disappointed too early.”
Shire took a sip of water and said, “It’s mainly because this segment is too difficult. You can’t rely on a single actor to perform well to recreate the classic. You have to interpret the meaning of the classic works, fully understand the inner logic of the character, and cooperate well with the other actors in the same group. There can’t be any problems with any of these. Otherwise, forget about surpassing the classics, you won’t even be able to recreate the classics.”
Han Chi smiled faintly. “l can still look forward to an S-rank performance, especially the two from Old Bai.”
Shire glanced at Bai Ge and said nothing. She was very disappointed with the performance of the celebrity students in this segment. She did not believe that the performance of the S-rank students could meet her inner standards.
She would be thankful if they didn’t mess it up..
