Gu Li said, “Didn’t you ask me to act? Then I’ll act out one scene and let the other three teachers be the judges. If I pass the assessment, you have to apologize to me on Weibo. If I don’t pass it, I’ll withdraw from the recording and compensate the production team for their losses. How about it?”

“Okay! I promise you.”

Cheng Ying nodded, secretly laughing at Gu Li’s stupidity.

So what if I lose? I’m not an artist anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to apologize on Weibo. But if she loses, the price is going to be heavy…

I thought she was smart. Turns out, she’s just a silly girl.

The more Cheng Ying thought about it, the more proud she became.

Director Yang, who was watching from the side, was anxious. He was about to stop Gu Li when Xue Huaimo interrupted him. “Let’s begin then.”

Since he had already said so, the other two judges had no objections.

Gu Li said to Xue Huaimo, “I’ve seen all of your movies. You can choose any character, and I’ll act it out.”

Xue Huaimo was amused by her confident attitude. “Since you’re so confident, then act this one out.”

With that, he took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it to her.

Gu Li took it and took a look. It was the script of the movie ‘Falling City’.

‘Falling City’ was a major period movie that Xue Huaimo was about to direct. Other than the male lead, none of the other important female roles had been decided, and it was said that the reason he had agreed to be a judge for this show was because he wanted to choose actresses for the roles in his movie.

Gu Li studied it seriously and was soon attracted by the plot, which was full of twists and turns.

This part of the script was about Tian Wu, the daughter of the Xiang Kingdom. In order to save the person she loved, Qin Guo, who had gone missing during the war, she had sneaked into the enemy’s country alone and finally found the person after much hardship. This scene was about her breaking down in despair after finding out that he was actually the prince of the enemy’s country.

The plot only occupied one page of the paper, yet it still vividly described Tian Wu’s love and hatred for Qin Guo.

Thus, even actors with a foundation in acting might not be able to portray such an outstanding moment, let alone a non-celebrity like Gu Li.

So when Cheng Ying saw that she was going to act this scene out, she was delighted.

After carefully analyzing the scene for a few minutes, Gu Li put the script aside and got right into the character.

There were no lines, and the only thing there was, was her gaze that changed about freely.

From the joy that she felt when she first saw the person she loved to the disbelief, the anger, the hatred, and finally the despair when she found out his identity…

The light in the girl’s eyes disappeared bit by bit. The sorrow that was all around her instantly swept over her, covering her petite figure and touching the hearts of everyone present deeply…

The large lounge was completely silent. Everyone was immersed in Tian Wu’s immense pain and they only regained their senses when the performance ended.

“Not bad!”

“It’s quite good!”

“That was amazing, Teacher Gu.”

Xu Jin, Jiang Cheng, and Director Yang exclaimed in unison.

Gu Li thanked them with a smile and looked at Cheng Ying. “Teacher Cheng, what do you think?”

“I admit my defeat.”

Cheng Ying’s expression was extremely ugly.

If I knew that this girl was so good at acting, I wouldn’t have made that bet. I lost so thoroughly.

Gu Li reminded her cheekily, “Then do remember to post on Weibo tonight, and @ me, Teacher Cheng.”

“Hah!”

Cheng Ying snorted coldly and left in exasperation in her high heels.

Gu Li stood in front of Xue Huaimo and returned the script to him with both hands. “Here you go, Director Xue.”

Xue Huaimo looked at her deeply and was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, “Are you interested in playing the role of Tian Wu?”

“Huh?”

Gu Li was flattered because she didn’t expect him to take a liking to her.

“You’re very suitable,”

Xue Huaimo said sincerely.

Although he had a bad temper, he was an upright person. As a director who cherished talent, he naturally didn’t want to let go of such a good ‘seedling’..
