When the video played the television drama Lu Zhen starred in when she was a child, an even louder round of applause sounded at the event location.

The video was coming to an end.

After the video ended, the emcee picked up the microphone again and said, “Inheritance is an important part of culture. In the industry of actors, the meaning of inheritance seems to have been ignored.

“The critics say that this is an era of entertainment to the death. Some also say that the entertainment industry is getting worse every year.

“However, looking at the outstanding works shown in the video just now, those are the film and television memories that accompanied each of us to grow up. We can’t help but reflect: Why have there been fewer and fewer outstanding film and television works in recent years? Why are there more and more so-called lousy movies and dramas? The times are developing, but is there something missing in our industry?

“Our variety show is called Celebrity Performance Class, but perhaps, to become a good actor, not only do you need to learn exquisite acting skills, but you also need to learn the spirit and thoughts that represent the core meaning of the profession.

“In order to let the new generation of actors better feel the meaning of inheritance, our production team has invited four respected seniors in the entertainment industry. We can completely call them people artists. Let us welcome their arrival with warm applause!”

The short video that was played previously had already caused the audience to fall into a wave of memories. When they saw the four old actors suddenly appear on the stage, everyone was excited.

This feeling was like a bridge between this moment and the memories. It was as if they had seen the habitat of their former souls.

The oldest of the four old actors was already 80 years old, and the youngest was almost 60 years old. The four of them could be said to be figures of the entertainment industry. Usually, just one of them would be enough to shock the entertainment industry. But this time, the production team had actually invited four of them at once.

After the emcee introduced the four famous old actors, he announced the rules of this round.

“In the final episode of the show, the celebrity students will be divided into two groups. The two groups of celebrity students will film the same script. After the rehearsal, the two groups will go on stage to perform. The Internet voting, the audience voting at the event location, and the four directors will vote to choose the last strongest celebrity student.”

After announcing the rules, the staff distributed the same script to 10 celebrity students.

After Lu Zhen and Yang Na received the script, they quickly flipped through it.

This was a suspenseful script.

Hu Tao, who was nearly 40 years old, was the head teacher of a public high school. He was about to get married to his girlfriend, Bai He, during the National Day holiday when he realized that his girlfriend had suddenly disappeared.

Due to the incident during National Day, the case gradually attracted the attention of a large number of netizens. The police also took it very seriously and sent a large number of police officers to investigate Bai He’s whereabouts.

Finally, the police locked onto the suspect. It turned out to be Hu Tao’s daughter, Hu Min, who had just graduated.

When Hu Tao found out that his daughter might have harmed his girlfriend, he was heartbroken and angry. In a fit of anger, he almost strangled Hu Min to death.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Hu Tao’s reaction might be a little too agitated, but in fact, Hu Tao and his daughter had always had a bad relationship.

Hu Min was very rebellious when she was in high school. She skipped school all day. This made Hu Tao, the high school form teacher, feel very embarrassed. He often went to the bar in a sorry state to bring his drunk daughter home.

After Hu Tao got a girlfriend, the relationship between the father and daughter worsened. Hu Min did not come home for almost two years. She even said that as long as Hu Tao married another woman, she would not acknowledge him as her father.

Under such circumstances, the police believed that Hu Min’s motives were valid and immediately interrogated her.

At first, Hu Min admitted that she was the one who killed Bai He. The police also found Bai He’s body at the place Hu Min said. However, when they confirmed the chain of evidence, the police suddenly realized that there were several contradictions in Hu Min’s testimony.

As the investigation went deeper, the police found more suspicious points.

This was the general plot of the script. After distributing the script, the emcee arranged for 10 celebrity students to draw lots. In the last round of the competition, the roles played by each celebrity student were also drawn.

For example, young actresses could draw lots among the three young female characters, “Hu Min”, “Policewoman” and “Lawyer”.

Lu Zhen drew Group A’s Hu Min, and Yang Na drew Group        female lawyer. This time, the two of them were not in the same production team, nor were they acting in the same role..
