How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 457 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (69)
When Zhu Wen performed this pantomime, he was facing the auditioners with his back to the live broadcast camera.

Even the distance from the camera is quite a distance.

However, viewers in the live stream could still clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from her.

This is a world apart from the desperate, impoverished mother in Xu Qing's film crew who lost her daughter not long ago!

[Regarding the previous scene, some people said it was because Zhu Wen's acting was based on his own experience, which is why it felt so realistic... But what about now?]

[So cool! So cool! So cool! This woman's back view is killer!]

I'm my sister's dog!

Dream on!

[No need to look anymore, Director Li's expression clearly shows he's extremely satisfied!]

[His acting was truly exceptional, but who can appreciate it? I even compared it to a clip by a certain award-winning actress, and the difference is enormous!]

Indeed, one is acting, and the other is just like that in real life! The problem is, this is still an audition, not actual filming!

[It's better to keep a low profile. When casting for a lead role, they don't just look at acting skills; they also consider fame. What if she doesn't get the part? Wouldn't she be ridiculed?]

Do you think Sister Zhu would care about these things? Didn't you hear Director Li say that the prerequisite for agreeing to the live stream was that Zhu Wen herself had the courage to accept being ridiculed by the entire internet after a failure? She didn't hesitate for even a moment!

……

Netizens gradually became captivated by Zhu Wen.

At first, I was probably amazed by her face.

But now, I am drawn to the fragrance emanating from her very soul.

Zhu Wen is like a book that can never be finished, a riddle that can never be solved, a shapeless wisp of mist...

She is a complex, multifaceted being who can always bring something new to netizens.

No one can resist the allure of this novelty and mystery.

Gradually, more and more netizens announced that they would be going to become fans of Zhu Wen.

Even the voices that were previously directed at Zhu Wen have gradually weakened.

While it's not to say there's none at all, compared to just a week ago, it's a completely different story.

Afterwards, some people reviewed the case of Zhu Wen and Zhai Ling's miraculous comeback, attempting to have other celebrities in the entertainment industry who had fallen from grace for various reasons replicate it.

The result is—it's impossible, completely impossible.

It goes without saying that Zhai Ling was wronged by her agency and misunderstood by netizens.

And what about Zhu Wen?

From a despicable mother despised by everyone to a goddess, it took her only three days to rise to fame.

Besides her beauty, the most important factor in her success was her personal charm.

This last point is something that can never be replaced or compared to!

However, no one knew this.

Zhu Wen's legendary life has only just begun...

Zhu Wen's performance is over.

Li Sheng, however, did not call a halt for a long time.

He rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought, as if pondering something.

The auditioning officer next to him had to whisper a reminder:
"Director Li? Director Li?"

Li Sheng suddenly came to his senses.

He looked at Zhu Wen again and asked gently:
"Can you tell me why you made these changes to the script?"

It turns out that Zhu Wen had revised the script again.

The viewers in the live stream were shocked and extremely anxious.

It is well known that the bigger the director, the less they like actors to change the script at will, even if it is just a punctuation mark!
Xu Qing was like this before, and Li Sheng is like this now!
Xu Qing could still use his young age as an excuse to gloss over the matter for now.

What about Li Sheng, who has lived for many years and almost become a legend himself?
Won't he get angry about this?

Netizens are all anxious for Zhu Wen.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were the ones auditioning.

Sitting at the back of the audition room, Zhai Ling also clenched her hands anxiously.

She kept licking her chapped lips, her eyes wide open, afraid of missing a single second. In comparison, Zhu Wen was the calmest one.

"That line?"

She repeated the lines she had just changed.

Li Sheng nodded, and even now he still seems to have a very good temper.
"That's right, this line is very different from the original, almost meaningless. So can you tell me why it was changed like this?"

Zhu Wen thought for a moment:

"Just feel it."

The netizens, who are waiting for her to launch into a long-winded explanation: ? ? ?

That's it? That's all?
Netizens are unsure whether to express their disappointment or praise Zhu Wen's courage.

This is Li Sheng!

Even if that's what you really think, Sister Zhu, you should still say a few more words and put on an act!

Clearly, very few actors would dare to be so casual and presumptuous in front of the esteemed director Li Sheng.

Just look at the expressions of the three auditioners next to you; their mouths are agape.

Just when everyone thought Li Sheng would be unhappy and would scold Zhu Wen.

Li Sheng stroked his beard:

"That's it."

Ok?
Why does it look like you've been persuaded?

Was this internationally renowned director so easily persuaded?

Where is your persistence and pride as a renowned director?

...Clearly, Li Sheng's answer was no.

Most people say that film is the art of the director.

Whether it's the visuals, the plot, or the actors giving vivid performances, they are all just tools in the director's hands.

Like a painter's brush or a sculptor's chisel...

The tool's task is to fully convey the director's meaning.

This is why directors are often called tyrants on set.

Because they were already at the highest level of the production crew.

But now, it seems that the relationship between Zhu Wen and Li Sheng is no longer a simple superior-subordinate relationship, but an equal one, one that can communicate.

Li Sheng raised a question, Zhu Wen provided an explanation, but Li Sheng did not accept it, and then... and that's how it happened.

Although I don't agree with it, his expression clearly shows that he is thinking and reflecting on himself.

It's simply unbelievable that something like this could happen to Li Sheng!

"Okay, I understand."

Li Sheng stood up.

Those watching, whether in real life or online, felt uneasy.

Since Li Sheng's attitude towards Zhu Wen was very good and special, he must be satisfied with her.

I also felt that Li Sheng, as a famous director, might not like a female lead like Zhu Wen who is so unconventional.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Li Shengchao extended his hand to Zhu Wen:
"Then, I look forward to working with you."

Zhu Wen smiled, as if everything was expected:

"Yes, I look forward to cooperating."

As if afraid she might change her mind, Li Sheng hurriedly asked someone to sign the contract with Zhu Wen.

The assistant director next to him was taken aback when he heard what he said, and quickly replied:
"But director, there are still a few actors auditioning later..."

He frantically winked at Li Sheng, indicating that the actors behind him were no small fry either.

For example, Cheng Qin, a three-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress, is still queuing in the dressing room!

Li Sheng asked in return with a puzzled look:

"I've already found the perfect leading lady, why should I continue auditioning?"
