Chapter 1679 - Are You Interested to Try? (1/2)
“Just like what Director Xu said just now, Lu Man’s appearance put her in the spotlight, letting people unknowingly put their attention on her. That’s Lu Man’s charisma. Similarly, because everyone was focused on her, the burden on the other actors lessened considerably, allowing them to perform above standard and better than when they’re under stress.”
“But this meant that the stress was on Lu Man, and because everyone’s scrutinizing her, any mistake on her part would have ruined this show,” Deng Xu said. “I was worried at the start too, putting such a heavy burden on Lu Man might stress her out too much, and it’s a great risk. Since if she mishandled any parts, the whole show would fall apart.”
“But both teachers of Lu Man were confident in her and felt that we could completely trust her. I reckon that her teachers would know better than me, so I agreed. Who’d have thought, Lu Man really did marvelously,” he continued. “What’s more, she’s not worse than any of the experienced actors I’ve worked with in the past.”
This was high praise indeed.
Since Lu Man was still a student.
And actors who had worked with Deng Xu were all well-known, highly skilled actors.
Every one of them had won several national and international acting awards.
And Deng Xu saying that Lu Man was as good as them implied that he was more than satisfied with her acting.
“That’s right, Lu Man has this quality about her. As long as she’s on stage, she’d shine like a sun even if the spotlight wasn’t on her.” Xu Jiashan nodded. “During the performance just now, there was a close-up shot of Lu Man’s face on the screen. I saw that her eyes were so expressive.”
Tan Xiaoyun also nodded in agreement at the side.
Robert and Hayer listened to the interpreter beside them who translated what was said to them, and they nodded vigorously too.
Xu Jiashan actually invited Lu Man on the spot, “I’m preparing a new stage show currently. After seeing your performance, I think there’s a character especially suited for you, Lu Man, as if it was created just for you. Might you be interested to try?”
