Chapter 542: 541. This is a screen test!

The room’s decoration was simple and unadorned, without anything else.

No props performance.

Five words sprang to Mu Ziwei’s mind immediately, a scene all too familiar to an actor, as common as a daily meal.

As the thought flashed by, she looked up towards the judging panel straight ahead and the first person she saw was Director Li.

The fifty-something-year-old man had strands of gray in his hair due to work, but his eyes were incredibly sharp. At the moment, Li Li was holding a pen in his right hand, his nose adorned with a pair of black-framed glasses, his gaze shifting from the script on the table toward the other party.

As Mu Ziwei met those eyes, she felt the pressure mount.

Indeed a renowned director!

Just one look, an invisible oppression surged forth, giving her a feeling entirely different from other directors.

The event unfolded in a flash, and Mu Ziwei instinctively started speaking.

"Hello, Director Li, and all the teachers..."

As she greeted them, her gaze moved towards the audition personnel sitting next to Director Li, but she froze upon seeing the first person on the right.

Tang Shu?!

What was she doing here? And sitting at the judging table?!

Mu Ziwei’s eyes widened in shock, her face showing utter disbelief.

Just two hours ago, they had parted ways, and now Tang Shu had already removed the black mask from her face, which Mu Ziwei would recognize at a glance.

It was indeed because she recognized her that Mu Ziwei felt even more astonished, causing her initial self-introduction to pause and break off.

Not crying out in surprise took good restraint!

On her side, Tang Shu glanced at her, her indifferent gaze meeting the shocked eyes and remaining calm and even, subtly acknowledging her with a nearly imperceptible nod.

"... Hello, all the teachers, my name is Mu Ziwei."

The previously confident Mu Ziwei felt her mind buzz, her mood no longer as before.

Director Li paused, and as a famed director, how could he miss her moment of shock, his sharp gaze staring at her for a long while.

He said,

"Try the scene where Lu Xiangtong says farewell to her father before her wedding."

"Okay, Director Li."

This was the audition!

There was no room for her to be anything but meticulous at this moment.

Mu Ziwei clenched her fists, took a deep breath to force herself to calm down, and recalled a few scenes she had previously seen.

Lu Xiangtong’s farewell to Grand Tutor Lu before her wedding was indeed a famous scene.

This scene marked her first appearance, not only showcasing her as a well-bred lady worthy of emulation but also the depth of understanding and suitability for the future title of Empress in the dialogue she said to Grand Tutor Lu.

And, in the original work, this impeccable role model of a lady was described in great detail, especially this scene.

Mu Ziwei raised her hands to her chest, gently adjusted the complex wedding outfit on her body, bowed gracefully before her, her back straight, and started to speak her lines.

"Father, your unfilial daughter..."

As the scene progressed, the six teachers in the audition area frequently looked up to observe and intermittently wrote down evaluations, their expressions varied, showing contemplation or satisfaction.

After three minutes, as the farewell neared its end, Director Li suddenly spoke,

"At this moment, Lu family’s junior, Lu Xiangming, appears at the side. What words would Lu Xiangtong have to say?"

This was an impromptu challenge, testing the actor’s on-the-spot performance.

Mu Ziwei stiffened slightly, her hands on the ground gaining strength, her complexion appearing even more pale, and she looked towards an empty space to one side.

"Ming’er, as a man of the Lu family..."
