Yang Na was stunned for a moment as she carefully experienced Lu Zhen’s words.

No one can define us. Now does not mean the future.

Yang Na’s blood heated up bit by bit. She raised her head and looked straight at Lu Zhen for the first time. She did not expect that the time she had worked hard for all these years, the desire she had suppressed in her heart, and the goal she had worked hard to pursue would be summarized by a stranger like Lu Zhen in two sentences.

Yang Na immediately felt relieved. That’s right. Lu Zhen was right. It might not be a good thing to pursue the recognition of others too much but lose your inner standards of yourself.

Now does not mean the future. She still had a long way to go!

After Yang Na’s group, it was Lu Rou’s group’s turn.

Lu Rou went on stage confidently, her eyes burning with ambition. She was filled with the urgency to prove her strength with her acting skills.

Su Li, who went on stage with Lu Rou, was slightly silent.

The performance began. After the mother and daughter of the past met by chance, a conflict erupted.

Lu Rou’s face was filled with hatred, disappointment, and sadness as she said fiercely, “I’ll never forgive you!”

Su Li’s eyes were filled with tears, and her voice trembled. “I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just want to see if you’re doing well…”

Before Su Li could finish, Lu Rou sneered. “Hypocrite! Where did you go back then? If I wasn’t lucky, I would have died long ago. Stop pretending!”

After their performance, the audience applauded. Lu Rou and Su Li stood together and bowed to thank the audience.

The emcee began the interview. Lu Rou was obviously still immersed in her performance. She excitedly told him a lot of her performance thoughts, understanding of the role, and the state she had just been immersed in.

The emcee wanted to interrupt her several times, but he didn’t have the chance.

Seeing that Lu Rou was about to exceed the time limit if she continued, the emcee could only forcefully end the interview topic. “The performances of the two of you are very exciting. Next, please give your marks!”

As Lu Rou had been showing off, Su Li did not have a chance to speak. However, Su Li’s expression was very calm, and there was no dissatisfaction on the surface. After the four directors finished grading, the emcee announced their ratings. “Teacher Su Li’s rating is A, and Lu Rou’s rating is B!”

Lu Rou widened her eyes in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe her ears. She was stunned for a few seconds before raising her hand to interrupt the emcee.

She stared at the four directors sitting on the stage. “Why am I B?”

Lu Rou was aiming for S-rank, but there were too few S-rank people. She felt that even if she was unlucky and did not get S-rank, A-rank would definitely be stable. Moreover, she had acted very well just now. She felt that she had expressed all the emotions in the character’s heart. Her emotions were passionate and full. It could be said to be perfect!

In comparison, what was Su Li’s acting? She was simply dragging her down and did not have any tacit understanding with her!

Among all the celebrity students, Lu Rou was the first to question the director’s score. The emcee was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the microphone. However, the four directors on stage were all people who had seen big scenes. They were not at a loss because of Lu Rou’s question.

Shire, Bai Ge, and Han Chi exchanged glances. In the end, Shire raised her chin at Han Chi, meaning, “I’ve been talking for the three of you for almost the entire episode. I’m tired. You can explain.”

Bai Ge was more lazy, and Han Chi did not talk much. As for Wei Ji, there was no need to mention him. Throughout the entire episode, he did not make a sound. There were even netizens in the live-stream who asked with concern if Director Wei Ji’s vocal cords were damaged. Why did he not say a word?

Hence, ever since the show started broadcasting, Shire had spent most of her time giving simple comments to the students. If they did well, she would praise them. If they did not, she would tactfully suggest and encourage them to continue working hard.

Shire’s voice was a little hoarse. She thought gloomily that after the first episode ended, she would definitely complain to the director and pressure him to do the thinking work of the other three and urge them to talk more!

Han Chi held the microphone and looked straight into Lu Rou’s obviously unconvinced eyes. He said calmly, “You acted very seriously and hard. We saw that, but you can’t just be immersed in your own world when acting. When you were acting, you completely ignored your interaction with your companions..”
