Chapter 386: They Can Only Play Support to Si Fuqing (1)

Si Fuqing remained calm as she responded, “Yes.”
Tang Haiqiu nodded and asked, “Can you tellwhy you chose to perform in such a manner? I must tell you that the person who auditioned before you was Gu Zhinan, who won the Starlight Award two years ago. She’s almost on par with several Best Actress winners.”
He gestured for the assistant director to play Gu Zhinan’s audition footage. Gu Zhinan, at twenty-seven, was significantly older than the character Sui
Yan.
Yet, she managed to convincingly portray a young girl’s demeanor.
In the video, she clung to the feet of the Celestial Ruler, begging him not to treat her so harshly, her tears heart-wrenchingly genuine, moving anyone who heard them to tears.
“Although Sui Yan is just an ordinary mortal, she possesses an unyielding spirit, ” Si Fuqing began slowly. “Yes, having one’s soul extracted and body seized is excruciatingly painful, but no matter the pain, she would never beg for mercy. Rather than begging, she remembered that she had already resolved to return to the Celestial Palace to seek revenge.”

Thus, killing the Celestial Ruler and Queen becmore than just her personal vendetta. They were too insignificant to disturb her resolve.”
“Well done,” Tang Haiqiu finally smiled. “Your performance was excellent.
Regardless of what other investors might offer, the role of Sui Yan is yours.” This statement surprised the other judges.
Normally, even if an audition went well, the director would simply tell the auditionee to wait for news.
It was extraordinary for Tang Haiqiu to make such a declaration.
Si Fuqing bowed slightly in gratitude, “Thank you, Director Tang.” After she left, the room fell silent.
The assistant director, a bit taken aback, asked, “Director, what about the remaining auditionees…?”
“Let them audition as planned, but we no longer need to test for the female lead,” Tang Haiqiu waved his hand, indicating for the others to leave, except for MO Yishan.
He turned to his old friend, a famous actor, and asked, “How did you feel acting opposite her just now?”
“I felt breathless,” MO Yishan recalled with a residual sense of dread. “At that moment, I truly felt she was about to kill me. Even though she only used gestures, I could feel pain in my chest and abdomen.”
“Yes, her performance was so immersive, even without props, she drew everyone into the scene she created,” Tang Haiqiu exhaled slowly. “A naturally gifted actress. Did you notice the layers in her emotions?”
While sadness is a common emotion, new actors usually only manage to convey superficial sorrow.
But Si Fuqing, she layered each emotion, subtly shifting from expression to gesture.
Especially her eye acting, it was incredibly powerful.
Even sveteran actors struggle to achieve this.
“Yes, I saw it clearly,” MO Yishan wiped his sweat, smiling wryly. “She’s only eighteen, like the Great Demon King when she filmed her first movie, right?”
The Great Demon King, Yun Lan, earned her nicknbecause of her unrestrained acting style that no one could match.
MO Yishan remembered how, when he first went on stage with Si Fuqing, her gaze left him momentarily blank-minded.
He could only speak after a second.
He initially thought it was Si Fuqing holding back, but now he wondered if it was just his illusion.

“Standing in front of me, I felt as if Sui Yan had cto life,” Tang Haiqiu’s hands trembled with excitement. “We’ve really discovered a gem! Old Qin has such a discerning eye!”
Gu Zhinan’s performance was passable but not exceptional.S℮arch ɳewɳƟvel .Ɵrg on gƟƟgl℮
Her age was one issue, but more importantly, she portrayed Sui Yan too frail.
A mortal against a celestial, weak in strength but not in spirit.
If Sui Tan had shown even a hint of weakness in spirit, she wouldn’t have survived seven hundred years in the demon abyss.
That was the character’s defining trait, and Gu Zhinan failed to capture it.
“I have a feeling,” Tang Haiqiu suddenly slammed the table. “Next year’s Flying Sky Award for Best Actress will surely be hers.”
MO Yishan was surprised. “Are you so certain?
Si Fuqing was only eighteen!
Those vying for the Flying Sky Award typically had numerous works to their credit.
“No, I must strive for more,” Tang Haiqiu paced excitedly. “Not just striving for more recognition, but I will also contact international streaming platforms.. I want ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ to surpass ‘Sword Immortal’!”
