Chapter 82 I'll Make Them Regret It
chapter 82
Of the four mentors, two refused to turn on their lights.
The atmosphere was very quiet. Jiang Yuming held the microphone tightly in one hand, still smiling, and looked at the third mentor, Fang Tingting.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then slammed her hand on the lamp, turning it on...
"I will definitely turn on this light. Um... there are a few things the teachers said earlier that I don't quite agree with. I didn't see any major problems with his charisma, performance ability, etc..."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "The script was indeed poorly chosen, with no room for development, but that doesn't matter. He performed very well, especially for a newcomer actor who had never acted in any productions before..."
"I think you've done a great job to perform like this. Of course... this is a variety show, and the competition is based on ability, not personal connections. But the way you performed just now, including your image, and many other aspects, were very moving to me..."
"Acting skills and good looks are both very important, so I will keep this light on for you."
Fang Tingting hesitated for a while before saying, "Before that, I have a favor to ask. One of the main reasons I'm participating in this program is that I hope to find a co-star. My new drama is about to start filming, but we're missing a second male lead, so I hope to take this opportunity to meet a good actor..."
Just then, Zhao Dan interrupted her with a smile, "Is it your rumored new drama?"
Fang Tingting replied with a smile, "Yes, he's also a nationally renowned director. I really like the novel; the content is excellent. It's a fantastic opportunity..."
She turned to look at Jiang Yuming in front of her, "The second male lead is a very good character. I think you are somewhat similar to him in terms of temperament, appearance, and other aspects..."
The boy still had a smile on his face, staring intently at her.
The woman smiled and said, "So, can you now act out the heartbreaking feeling you would experience if your favorite person got together with someone else?"
Jiang Yuming nodded...
The boy turned and glanced at Meng Youcheng standing backstage...
After a moment, he turned to look at Fang Tingting again and let out a long breath...
His eyes flashed with emotion, and in less than a second, tears filled his eyes. A single tear, like a pearl, slowly slid down his cheek. His eyes began to redden, his gaze darted away, and he was heartbroken...
He didn't choke up or cry loudly; his eyes alone conveyed his heartbreak.
"OK, thanks……"
Fang Tingting smiled and said, "Keep up the good work. I hope you can join my team. I will do my best to help you build a good one."
The fourth mentor was Ji Lin.
Without hesitation, the man turned on the light. "Mentor Fang is absolutely right. Your acting skills have amazed me, so I hope you can join my team. I'm sure I can lead you to the championship."
The host came on stage and announced, "Now it's Mr. Jiang's turn to make the selection."
Meng Youcheng watched all of this from backstage...
Somewhat surprisingly, two mentors actually turned on their lights?
In comparison, Meng Youcheng had already guessed who the plant was arranged by Xu Xingcheng...
Although Fang Tingting said a lot, her eyes revealed a deep sense of admiration...
Compared to the other one, there was a huge difference; that one's eyes were filled with nothing but self-interest.
"I choose...Teacher Fang."
Meng Youcheng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, sank to the ground.
Jiang Yuming was unaware of the inside story, so it was normal for him to choose Fang Tingting, after all, she had said so many things that expressed her admiration for him. However, this woman was not the one the boss had arranged, so it would be much more difficult for them to get along in the future!
However... he believed him.
"Alright... let's welcome the next contestant..."
Jiang Yuming stepped off the stage and went straight to Meng Youcheng. "Uncle..."
The man was just about to speak...
The boy's expression was serious as he spoke, "I've disappointed you, haven't I?"
"Huh?" Meng Youcheng asked, puzzled. "What...?"
"Of the four lamps, I only lit two. I thought all the lamps would light up for me, but I didn't expect..."
Meng Youcheng patted him on the shoulder, just about to offer some words of comfort...
"Those two professors won't give me their lights on, I'll make them regret it!"
Meng Youcheng was immediately shocked, "You..."
Just now, Jiang Yuming's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his face was full of displeasure, which was chilling.
The boy smiled and looked at Meng Youcheng, "Uncle, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, I will prove with my strength that the person who chose me did not make a mistake."
"Oh……"
……
It was Situ Ming's turn...
The atmosphere was incredibly excited. This young man is no ordinary person; he specifically mentioned on his Weibo that he would participate in this program…
He has a large number of fans, and they are all crazy fans of his looks, so naturally, they all flocked to him.
His performance began...
It was a very challenging script, and the performance was excellent. The script offered a great deal of room for interpretation and allowed for a lot of creative freedom...
The performance is complete.
The atmosphere reached its peak, leaving all four mentors somewhat shocked...
It's like forcing...
If you don't choose him, you'll be ridiculed by everyone.
Zhao Dan still refused to give in, after all, Situ Ming had no film or television works and had not offered him any support.
The second male mentor seemed a bit flustered by the atmosphere. He definitely didn't want to, but for the sake of the show, he turned on his light anyway...
Fang Tingting also ordered, but her expression was intriguing, and she didn't say a word.
When Ji Lin learned that Situ Ming was an artist under Shixing Company, he was overjoyed and naturally turned on the light, saying many flattering things.
"I choose...Teacher Ji."
Situ Ming stepped off the stage and approached Meng Youcheng. "Brother, how was it? My performance was pretty good, right? I chose a very difficult script, as you can see, I acted it out really well, didn't I?"
Jiang Yuming stood beside Meng Youcheng, his smile frozen, staring intently at Situ Ming...
Meng Youcheng curled the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not reply.
The boy reached out a hand and grasped Meng Youcheng's hand tightly...
Situ Ming shifted his gaze to Jiang Yuming, "What about the three lamps? I did a great job, didn't I? I originally wanted to choose Teacher Fang, after all, she just won the Best Actress award and is currently very popular, but in order to compete with you, I'll choose someone else..."
"The next few weeks will be a battle within the group, I hope you don't get eliminated!"
He turned and left as soon as he finished speaking...
……
At 7 p.m., this multi-person selection competition finally came to an end.
No mentor used any special privileges; each mentor had 30 students.
Therefore, 80 people were eliminated from the stage.
Jiang Yuming joined Fang Tingting's team and they had a short meeting that evening...
Tomorrow is the team member PK. Out of 30 people, five will be eliminated, and the mentor will decide. The woman has assigned them scripts, and they only have one night to read the scripts and try their best to understand the characters...
A small stage will be set up tomorrow. There will be no audience, but it will be broadcast live...
Voting is now open, and anyone can vote. These votes are crucial; they will determine who the ultimate champion is in the final round…
This includes the scripts that are presented later, and the roles that can be played, all of which must be allocated based on this vote...
The meeting didn't end until 9 p.m.
Meng Youcheng and Jiang Yuming took a taxi...
The boy's head naturally rested on the man's shoulder. "Uncle..."
Meng Youcheng glanced down at him, his mind preoccupied...
If he had chosen Ji Lin back then, things would definitely be better now. At least he would have gotten a decent role, instead of being stuck with only minor supporting characters...
Ugh……
After hesitating for a long time, the man couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you choose Teacher Ji?"
"Is he a plant you hired?"
The boy straightened his head and looked at the man...
Meng Youcheng's eyes were immediately filled with disbelief. He actually knew?!
"It's obvious, he made it all too obvious, but Uncle... I wanted to win fair and square, without resorting to any underhanded tactics, so I chose someone else. Let's not have any more of this going on..."
Meng Youcheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped...
"Don't you believe me?"
The boy looked somewhat excited. "Do you think that with my abilities, I can't win this championship on my own?"
The man shook his head. "No, I'm just a little shocked. I didn't expect you to be so smart, seeing through the clues at a glance. You even knew about the shill I hired. Since you discovered it, why didn't you tell me immediately?"
"because……"
The boy shifted his gaze. "I forgot."
He leaned on his shoulder again. "I... I don't know anything. I'm a silly boy. I don't know anything. Really."
……
They went home and took a shower.
Meng Youcheng climbed into bed, and the boy came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel...
"Uncle, you go to sleep first, I'll look at the script..."
Meng Youcheng wanted to say something, but stopped himself. "Okay."
