Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Tan Wen looked at Liu Haochun and found that her eyes were full of composure and confidence.

The background music, accompanied by the sound of ocean waves, played at the right moment, setting a calm tone for the scene.

Liu Haochun instantly got into character, and the story unfolded silently on her face.

She first glanced at Tan Wen discreetly, a forced smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Her bright, lively eyes, accompanied by tears, seemed to be telling the story of the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Soon, this feeling of grievance was replaced by stubbornness; she was unwilling to reveal the resentment she had felt for the years she had missed.

Thinking that they had finally met again after all their hardships and that they had finally realized their feelings for each other, she should be able to let go of the past. So her expression smoothly changed to pride, and then to happiness.

In just over ten seconds, Liu Haochun portrayed a range of emotions: grievance, resentment, contemplation, relief, pride, and happiness.

Tan Wen was very surprised. During his four years at Beijing Film Academy, he had met many classmates with great acting talent, but very few of them acted as smoothly as Liu Haochun.

Tan Wen showed no trace of showing off her skills on her face; it was as if this scene was meant to be this way, which was very convincing.

Very strong!

Tan Wen knew that if he hadn't used a high-level performance card, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with her performance right now.

Tan Wen felt sorry for her when she was wronged, helpless when she was in a bad mood, encouraged her when she was deep in thought, relieved when she was relieved, doted on her when she was proud, and smiled through his tears when she was happy.

He provided appropriate emotional feedback to Liu Haochun at each stage, making the rhythm of the entire performance very complete.

The music stopped, the scene ended, and the two looked great; the picture was beautiful.

The scene was quiet; everyone was immersed in the moment and hadn't yet come out of it.

Only two of the parties involved have begun to compose themselves.

Liu Haochun blinked her bright eyes and looked Tan Wen up and down. This time, her look was not one of scrutiny, but rather one of surprise and curiosity.

The scenario I had imagined—Tan Wen serving as a background character in my performance—did not occur; in fact, his performance was more nuanced and layered than mine.

I underestimated this person a bit.

She composed herself and put on a smug look: "What do you think of my performance?"

Tan Wen thought for a moment and said, "There's no consideration for your partner, just a competitive spirit."

Liu Haochun laughed and said, "I can be considerate in other things, but not in acting."

"Your acting is excellent; you are a promising young talent."

"Isn't 'The younger generation is to be feared' a saying that elders say to younger generations?"

"So you studied acting?"

"I'm from the Beijing Dance Academy," Liu Haochun said without hiding anything this time. "And you?"

"Beijing Film Academy!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

……

At this moment, led by Du Haitao, applause finally broke out in the audience.

Lu Yuxiao clapped along, but her heart was in turmoil. She knew that if she were to perform this scene, she would definitely not do as well as Liu Haochun.

It seems I still have a long way to go.

As for Tan Wen, although he is usually unreliable, he becomes very reliable and trustworthy whenever he does something seriously.

The two of them standing together really do look like an evenly matched pair.

He Mi'er's eyes sparkled as she watched the two performers, and she felt an urge to invest in and make a coming-of-age angst film.

At this moment, the comments section was filled with:

"So love can be acted out, right?"

"Waaaaah, just seeing Liu Haochun's emotional changes made me cry."

"Is it really that amazing? It's nowhere near as good as Maggie Cheung's."

"Upstairs, you've already compared her to Maggie Cheung, what else is there to say?"

······

"Where's the director? Hurry up and hand me the script." Du Haitao looked at Liu Haochun with a kind expression. "How was it? Did you enjoy acting?"

Liu Haochun pretended to ponder, "Hmm... mainly because the opponents are very strong, so it's quite interesting."

"Alright, when you get back to the cabin, you can act out a scene with Xiao Tan." Du Haitao smiled and walked towards Lu Yuxiao. "So, what kind of scene are you holding?"

Lu Yuxiao regained her composure and opened the small ball in her hand: "Your lips and your partner's lips must be no more than 5cm apart, and hold for 30 seconds."

Liu Haochun consciously stepped aside.

Tan Wen walked up to Lu Yuxiao, his eyes filled with a deep affection and heartbreak he could never have acted before, and slowly approached her lips.

This time, Lu Yuxiao refused to admit defeat and bravely stepped forward. They got closer and closer, and could feel each other's breath on their faces.

The distance was less than 5cm, so Lu Yuxiao stopped moving. Tan Wen then leaned forward, about to kiss her, but Lu Yuxiao instinctively closed her eyes.

8 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds.

Lu Yu opened her eyes slightly, not feeling any touch on her lips. She saw Tan Wen looking at her with amusement. Sigh, she still lost.

The two separated, and the pink bubble in the live stream began to dissipate.

"You're a really good actor," Liu Haochun chuckled softly.

"Maybe I wasn't acting."

······

After the games, it was time for the dance segment.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yike invited Tan Wen to dance, and Tan Wen, unable to refuse, had no choice but to go to the dance floor with her.

William didn't want to experience rejection on camera again, so he invited Liu Haochun, who readily agreed and handed him her hand with a smile.

Xu Jing invited Ao Ruipeng first, and Kent also danced with his all-in partner He Mier for the first time.

Lu Yu sat in his seat, watching Tan Wen and Sun Yike dance a waltz, but there was basically enough room for another person to squeeze between them.

She found it amusing; it turned out he didn't flirt with every girl, and that he also had his moments of difficulty.

Liu Haochun politely declined William's invitation to dance a second time. William looked at Lu Yuxiao, who shook her head slightly.

The dance segment was rather dull, and the live stream didn't go very well. After everyone finished dancing, Du Haitao asked them to move to the banquet hall for a meal.

The banquet hall has very long tables, and the scene of choosing seats is quite dramatic, which the audience loves to watch.

Gifts prepared by all the guests were placed at the entrance of the banquet hall, and each person had to randomly choose a gift.

Tan Wen was the first to go in. He saw that all the gifts were in boxes and couldn't tell which was which, so he chose a black box.

He had a feeling this was Lu Yu's small one, since it was in space.

He took the gift and sat in the middle of the room facing the door. Xu Jing came in second and sat in the middle right of the room with her back to the door.

William was the third, and for reasons unknown, he chose to sit to Tan Wen's left.

Liu Haochun was the fourth. She sat down to Tan Wen's right with a smile. To be honest, after the performance segment just ended, Tan Wen was quite willing to talk to her about the performance.

He Mier was the fifth to come in. She saw that Tan Wen's two sides were occupied, so she pouted and sat down next to Liu Haochun.

Ao Ruipeng was the sixth to enter. He hesitated for a moment, then sat down directly opposite Tan Wen, next to Xu Jing.

Lu Yu was the seventh, and she sat opposite He Mi'er. The two smiled at each other.

Sun Yike and Kent entered at the same time and sat opposite each other on the far left.

Du Haitao was the last to walk in. He looked around and laughed, "Why are there guys sitting together? You're here to date, not to become sworn brothers."

William sneered inwardly. Tan Wen was interfering in Liu Haochun's conversation with He Mier.

"Okay, before we eat, let's open the gifts. Whoever's gift you receive, you have to answer one of their questions truthfully. The question is hidden inside the gift box."

"Then how about Xiao Tan opens it first? Xiao Tan, whose gift do you think you're taking?"

Tan Wen looked around and noticed that Lu Yuxiao kept her head down and wouldn't look at him, so he knew what was going on. "I guess it's Lu Yuxiao."

Du Haitao: "Xiao Lu, is Xiao Tan's gift yours?"

Lu Yu nodded quietly.

Du Haitao looked at Tan Wen: "So you knew this was Xiao Lu's gift, and that's why you specially picked it out?"
