I'm not a drama god

"Eh? Liu Qingyan?"

Li Qingshan also turned around to see her and spoke in surprise.

"Do you know him?" Chen Ling asked.

"I have met her a few times. She is also from our Liu Town." Li Qingshan nodded slightly, "Her family used to do silk business. Although she was not rich, her life was not bad. But I heard that something happened later. The thing... After his father died, the family owed huge debts. All the relatives and friends who had previously relied on their family ran away, and they suddenly fell into the abyss.

I remember last winter, she was dragging her car by herself and going door-to-door in the heavy snow to sell silk. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time?

Sigh... Our family's living situation was not very good at that time. Otherwise, I would have to buy some. "

Chen Ling nodded slightly and looked at the girl's back, thoughtfully.

Liu Qingyan lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look up at anyone. After staggering across the aisle, she silently sat down at the edge of the auditorium.

However, just as she sat down, a shout came from in front of her:

"No. 16? Where is the person No. 16??"

Liu Qingyan's body trembled slightly, and she slowly stood up with her hands on the chair. Holding the "No. 16" sign, she moved her legs and ran to the stage as fast as possible.

"I...I'm here." She whispered.

"Why are you so slow? Come up and perform, don't waste everyone's time."

One of the judges spoke coldly.

Liu Qingyan walked onto the stage step by step. At this moment, she was wearing a dark-colored wide-sleeved top and a knee-length black pleated skirt. Her hair was braided into slender strands and spread over her shoulders. As she walked, Fluttering slightly.

She walked to the center of the stage, glanced at the judges' seats in the front row, and when she saw the faces of several of them, she trembled slightly and immediately lowered her head.

"No. 16 Liu Qingyan, what are you waiting for??" Seeing her delay in starting, the judges became more and more irritated.

Liu Qingyan took a deep breath and forced herself to close her eyes... The next moment, she moved.

Her slender arms swayed gently, like lotus flowers in the water, swaying in the breeze. Her black pleated skirt rotated on the stage with her light footsteps, like an elf dancing lightly on the bluestone road, affecting everyone. the hearts of the audience.

It's completely different from No. 15's posing. Even Chen Ling can see that this girl has excellent dancing talent. Every dance step is natural. At this moment, the entire audience is attracted by her movements and even breathes. Lighter.

The hazy black braided hair floated in the movement, and Liu Qingyan seemed to be intoxicated by it. Her figure leaned back softly, naturally outlining the girl's curves, neither dry nor flattering, but with a soul-stirring beauty.

"What a beautiful dance." Even Li Qingshan couldn't help but praise, "She was born for dancing... Even in the main city of Hongchen, there shouldn't be many people who can dance as well as her, right?"

The applicants on the side also whispered, seeming to be shocked by Liu Qingyan.

Several judges in the audience were also stunned on the spot, as if they didn't expect Liu Qingyan to dance so well, but then their eyes on the girl on the stage became more and more intense.

As Liu Qingyan's dance steps gradually accelerated, more and more difficult moves were added to it. Just when she was about to make a light jump, a feeling of powerlessness came from her legs.

thump--!

Under the greedy and lustful gazes of several people, the graceful girl failed to jump up and fell heavily to the ground.

This dull sound woke everyone up from their immersion. They looked at the figure of the girl who fell on the stage in amazement. She curled up like an injured deer. Under the messy black hair, the pale face showed no signs of death under the light. color……

Even so, no one went up to help her. Several judges sat at the front, their fiery eyes cutting through her body like bone scrapers. After seeing her fall and scatter, they became even more excited.

Liu Qingyan took in all this scene, her hands supporting her body clenched unconsciously, and deep unwillingness and anger appeared in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and struggled to get up from the ground. Her knees were already bruised from the fall, but she still stumbled to complete the performance... She finally stood on the stage with injuries all over her body, and bowed deeply to the people below. .

applause!

"The overall score is 6.5, congratulations on passing."

As the voice sounded, Liu Qingyan silently walked off the stage. She lowered her head, still not daring to look at anyone. Only when she passed by Chen Ling, their eyes met for a moment.

Chen Ling looked at Liu Qingyan's staggering back, her eyes twinkling.

Liu Qingyan's passing was just as expected by Chen Ling. Compared with applicants like Li Qingshan who had not yet seen the situation clearly, this girl not only had talent, but also understood the darkness within it, and even had the courage to take this step. ... Chen Ling did not have the slightest contempt or disdain for her. On the contrary, he admired this girl very much.

Talent, intelligence, and determination all appear at the same time in a seventeen-year-old girl, but this also means that she will endure far more pain than ordinary people.

The next few contestants were nothing to watch, and Li Qingshan kept reviewing nervously on the sidelines because it was about to be his turn, striving for perfection in every line and every action.

Finally, he walked onto the stage amidst the shouts of the judges.

Seeing his opera robe and exquisite "raw horn" makeup, several judges lowered their eyes and had no intention of looking at him.

"What era has it been, who still watches traditional opera..."

"Yeah, now it's all about singing and dancing, and appearance is all about appearance. Not many people like to listen to people babbling anymore."

"This year's headquarters quota has come down. Among the twelve quotas, only one quota for traditional opera... may even be none. I think there are many good talents from other people this time, so why not..."

"I think so too. If you take this path now, it will be difficult to become a famous actor, let alone make money."

"Those old guys in the main city are almost dying..."

"This Li Qingshan has been here for four consecutive years, right? Why are you still so ignorant?"

"I think he looks good, he's a young student, hehe... Unfortunately, I hinted at him before, but he doesn't seem to understand at all. He's such a fool. It's no use even giving him a chance."

"By the way, why aren't Director Sun here yet? What time is it..."

"..."

Li Qingshan stood on the stage and couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying. He just put on his posture and took a deep breath. His dramatic voice was very penetrating and clearly echoed in every corner of the venue.

"The flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky,

Who can pity the redness and fragrance?

Hands hoe flowers out of the embroidery curtain,

How can I bear to step on Luo Hua Tian Luo Hua Tian again..." (Note 1)

No one on the judges was listening, and only a few people were watching in the audience. The chatter and shouting of other people came and went outside the door, making it extremely noisy.

But even so, Li Qingshan still straightened his back, his eyes were soft and his voice was clear. His penetrating power overwhelmed all the noise, and he performed on the stage as if there was no one else around, intoxicated by it.

Among the busy people, Chen Ling, who was wearing a bright red opera robe, looked at Li Qingshan quietly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

As Li Qingshan's emotional performance ended, a cold voice also sounded:

"Comprehensive rating 3, next one."

Li Qingshan on the stage was slightly shocked.

On the stage where no one is paying attention, the man in green clothes stood there for a long time,

He laughed at himself and bowed to everyone in the audience...
