Chapter 228: Born Actor

Yun Buyao and He Jiayi were both sitting on chairs at the side to rest. They were both staring fixedly at Xia Qinghuan.

“This young lady’s acting is not bad.” Yun Buyao’s assistant, Du Bin, could not help but exclaim.

Yun Buyao was also somewhat surprised. This girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. The first scene required extremely powerful acting skills, but she had managed to get it done so easily. It was not simple.

Although she had used too much strength, such an emotional scene required her to do her best to feel despair.

“What is her name?” Yun Buyao could not help but ask.

The assistant was in charge of memorizing the names of the actors in the new production team. When Du Bin heard this, he said, “The third female lead is Xia Qinghuan. I heard that Director Wang personally selected her. She didn’t even audition for the scene but it was already decided that way.”

Yun Buyao understood that there were two rules for choosing a newcomer in the entertainment circle.

They either had to be a person of strength or someone born with a natural disposition.

As the name suggested, a person of strength meant an actor had good acting skills and a singer had good singing skills. People in the different fields had to have the corresponding professional abilities.

Whereas those who were born with a natural disposition relied completely on their temperament and appearance. As long as others saw you, they would think that you were a celebrity.

Director Wang Yiming had chosen the third female lead without auditions. He must have thought that she was born to be a celebrity based on her looks. He did not expect that what he thought was a person born with a natural disposition would be a person of strength as well.

It was unintentional!

Director Wang Yiming’s eyes lit up as well. It was as if he had found a treasure. CEO Xia’s daughter was a natural actress.

On the side, Ye Qing couldn’t help but smile lightly. She looked at Wang Yiming and teased, “You’re still the best.”

Wang Yiming was in a very good mood, and he even started to consider making her the female lead in the next drama. When he heard this, he said smugly, “I’m not called a celebrity excavator for nothing!”

On the other hand, He Jiayi became more shocked.

What is wrong with children nowadays? They had not gone through puberty yet, but were all here to snatch her rice bowl?

“Who is this person?” He Jiayi asked her manager, Sun Dong, coldly.

Sun Dong was also dumbfounded. He thought for a long time but could not think of Xia Qinghuan’s name. He only said, “I heard that the third female lead is the investor’s daughter. She probably brought money to the production team. But why is she so good at acting?”

“The investor’s daughter?” He Jiayi laughed in anger. Why did she come to the production team to experience life instead of being a rich heiress?

Most importantly, He Jiayi had to admit that the girl in front of her was a natural actor. She could act like this without any experience. Even Lu Xiao, whom she acted with, seemed to have been suppressed. She was the greatest highlight of the entire scene.

Because of her lack of experience, Xia Qinghuan’s throat went hoarse from crying.

As soon as a cut was shouted, Chen Jin hurriedly rushed into the set with a tissue. Because Xia Qinghuan was too engrossed, she couldn’t help but sob.

“Qinghuan, don’t cry anymore. Quickly wipe your tears away.” Chen Jin had been holding onto his heart since. He felt upset with Xia Qinghuan and almost cried.

“Brother Jin, I… my performance just now… was it… was it okay…?” Xia Qinghuan said, her back twitching.

When she was reciting her lines in tears just now, she did not stutter. When she stopped, she started to stutter. Wasn’t she a real actor?

“Very good.” Chen Jin nodded and praised her sincerely. He felt that Xia Qinghuan’s performance today was the best.

“You acted so well.” At this moment, Lu Xiao, who had been acting with Xia Qinghuan, walked forward and praised her with a smile.

Even the veteran actors who played their parents in the drama surrounded them. It was obvious that they were all moved by Xia Qinghuan’s performance just now.
