Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Sheng Tang’s Acting Skills
Shi Yunjun cursed this bitch in his heart, intentionally making things difficult for him, but he still had to put on a smiling face: "Miss Zheng, they said it wasn’t hard, but I haven’t seen anyone else recite it. You’re putting me in a tough spot."
Sheng Tang spoke leisurely: "A woman killing with a butcher’s knife is unseemly; it has to be done with a slow fire. First, use charm to bewilder him until he’s all disoriented, then feed him delicious food to weaken his bones and muscles. On a bright moonlit night, make him drunk with fine wine, and while he’s in a stupor, slit his throat.
As the blood trickles out, catch it with a wooden bucket, each drop sounding like rain falling from the eaves, crisp and melodious. The piano melody flows from the woman’s fingers, her slender, jade-like fingers fluttering over the black and white keys like butterflies.
...
Sheng Tang had an excellent memory, and she was used to reciting lines.
She didn’t know the whole story, nor which character had to recite such a terrifying passage, but she felt that a character capable of such cruelty must’ve gone through countless hardships.
The heart is made of flesh and blood; originally, it is soft.
Only after being ground down by life does it become so hard.
When Sheng Tang recited this passage, her voice was slightly hoarse, raspy, not as clear as a young girl’s, truly resembling the woman who kills and drinks blood, and then sits by the piano to play.
The corners of her lips seemed to be stained with a touch of blood red.
Zheng Weiwei was stunned.
Shi Yunjun was speechless for a moment.
He had read the script and thought this villainous female character was very cliché and vulgar. However, with just a few lines from Sheng Tang, she sketched a seductive yet ruthless witch in his mind.
Well performed, it would definitely be captivating!
He was suddenly moved.
"....Are you from the Film Academy?" Shi Yunjun’s eyes lit up slightly.
The girl had great potential; she could be signed and developed well. With her performance, Zheng Weiwei’s script in his mind went from an eight to a ten.
He had to get her.
"No, I’m still in high school," Sheng Tang chuckled, "but I plan to apply to the Film Academy in the future."
"You have a lot of talent, reciting lines with emotion, even without reading the script, you still grasp the character—you’re born to be in this line of work," Shi Yunjun said.
It was evident that he genuinely admired Sheng Tang.
Gu Shiting, however, unusually was not angered by his uncle’s eagerness.
When others praised Sheng Tang, it felt like he drank a cup of warm honey. His whole heart flowed with warmth and sweetness.
His Tangtang was so capable.
Her performance stunned the seasoned producer, it was truly remarkable.
She had said she wanted to be an actress, and she would certainly achieve great things in the future.
Thinking about himself, Gu Shiting felt that apart from inheriting the family business, he wouldn’t have much personal value. Therefore, he placed all his hopes on Sheng Tang.
More shocked than Shi Yunjun was the screenwriter, Zheng Weiwei.
Although Zheng Weiwei was not the director, she personally supervised every film. Reciting over two hundred words perfectly after reading it, she was undoubtedly a genius.
Memorizing it was impressive enough, but Sheng Tang’s ability to grasp the character’s psychology through those two hundred words was the most precious skill.
When Sheng Tang spoke, her voice was clear, but she deliberately pressed it down while reciting lines.
She practically brought Zheng Weiwei’s villain to life.
Zheng Weiwei’s female villain was supposed to be a mature woman of about thirty-five or thirty-six, still charming, but temporarily, she felt that turning her into a little witch could also work.
"Little sister, do you want to act?" Zheng Weiwei suddenly asked.
