Moreover, the two of them happened to be lucky enough to draw the order of appearance at the back. If they didn’t take this opportunity to quickly rehearse and find tacit understanding, and instead figure out their own character by themselves, would the two of them be able to cooperate well when they went on stage?
Su Li tried to continue persuading Lu Rou, but in Lu Rou’s opinion, Su Li’s insistence was like a strong force. Lu Rou’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Auntie Su, I admit that you’re a senior, but everyone has their own performance method. No one says that I have to listen to you. You can rehearse by yourself. I won’t stop you, but I think your performance method might not be right. Otherwise, wouldn’t you have won an award long ago? But that’s not the case, right?”
When Su Li heard this, her face turned red with anger. She was rehearsing alone? How did Lu Rou say such a stupid thing? If not for the fact that she was afraid that the two of them would ruin this scene, she would not have made the request to rehearse.
Also, Lu Rou actually mocked her for not being famous and not winning an award?
Although Su Li was not a popular actress, she had worked with many big-name celebrities, including Best Actor and Best Actress. Those big-name celebrities had never been so rude to her. She was also a guest lecturer at a film academy and was definitely a professional in acting. As for awards, Su Li only played small roles, so it was naturally difficult for her to win a big award. But now, this has actually become a reason for Lu Rou to mock her!
Su Li completely gave up on interacting with Lu Rou. She didn’t even want to complete this scene with Lu Rou now.
However, due to the contract she had signed with the production team, Su Li could only endure it. She sat on the other sofa and stopped looking at Lu Rou. She began to think about the role she needed to play.
As an actress, her professionalism made it impossible for her to completely give up on this scene. She could only do what she had to do. As for the outcome of their collaboration, she did not care!
After the preparation time was over, the celebrities of each group began to perform in order.
For singers or internet celebrities who have no professional training, improvisation is undoubtedly a huge challenge. Not only are they unable to present a mature theatrical performance, but they can’t even speak their lines clearly. Watching them is simply torture for the audience.
Someone even commented in the comments, “The villa where the richest man lives was dug out by my awkward toes.”
Of course, some of the celebrity students were professional actors. However, most of the actors had no choice but to perform with laymen with little experience. The effect was that one acted extremely meticulously, while the other stared and pouted the entire time. This performance looked intense and even hilarious.
After each group of celebrity students finished performing, the director would evaluate each person. They were divided into S, A, B, and C grades. Among them, the celebrity students who had obtained an S grade could join a mentor’s team.
To the celebrity students, this S-grade title had an extraordinary meaning. It represented that the celebrity students had used their own strength to conquer the four directors and obtained the opportunity to enter the director team.
Previously, the director had chosen the celebrity students to enter the team because of their past works and fame. However, the impromptu performance segment set by the production team had given some celebrity students who did not have any works a chance to show off.
As long as someone performed well enough in this segment, they would be recognized by the four directors with high ratings. They would be able to get more shots and let the audience see their strength.
After Lu Zhen and Yi Fan finished preparing, they prepared to go on stage backstage. Before they went on stage, an idea suddenly appeared in Lu Zhen’s mind. She wondered if Jiang Fei would watch the first episode of Celebrity Performance Class 2.
If Jiang Fei watched the show, what would he think of her performance? At the thought of this, Lu Zhen straightened up even more.
She had to perform well!
Before Lu Zhen, Jin Zhan and Erin had already finished their performances. Although Jin Zhan’s performance was more routine and formatted, he still steadily displayed his strength and finally obtained an A rating.
Erin was in a worse state because she had no acting experience. She could not control her expression at all. Her nose, eyes, and mouth were acting in different ways, making her feel extremely awkward.
Han Chi even said to Erin rudely, “The acting industry is not what you call a springboard to jump out of the comfort circle. This is a very serious industry. If you can’t do it well, I think you might as well go back and continue singing your songs..”
