Li Beinian even stuck her thumb up at him.
On cloud nine after being praised, Yang Liangyu waved his hand and pretended to be modest. “Actually, things like these can’t be helped. After all, I’m so outstanding. It’s only a matter of time before I make it this far.”
Suppressing her urge to laugh, Li Beinian said with a nod, “You’ll definitely do better. I believe in you. Press on.”
Yang Liangyu found her smile to be rather strange but he could not quite put a finger on it.
He humphed in displeasure and said, “However, acting isn’t that easy either. In order to be an actor, you have to have the looks and good acting chops. I brought you here to see and realize that an inexperienced person like you won’t pass the auditions at all.”
Li Beinian knew that Yang Liangyu’s words made sense.
However, she said with a chuckle, “How would you know if you don’t try?”
In her previous lifetime, Li Beinian did not get the chance to act much apart from being Li Xueqing’s stunt double on several occasions.
However, she spent a total of two years acting as a stunt double.
During those two years, she continuously tried her best to improve herself.
As soon as she got her script, she would spend all day and night practicing her scenes, just so that Li Haoran would give her the chance to go for an audition.
There had been a few times where a renowned director was impressed by her potential and wanted her to act in the television series or movies that were directed by them.
However, Li Xueqing managed to stop her using the contract that she had foolishly signed.
It was written clearly on the contract – “Unless permitted by Li Xueqing, Li Beinian would not be allowed to show in any public activities, events or act in films and television series. If breached, she would have to pay a compensation of 10 billion yuan.”
Where was she supposed to find 10 billion yuan?
Ever after she married Mu Donglin, she did not have much to do and hence would practice acting during her free time.
Apart from being a dedicated wife, she would also practice acting.
Her dream was to become an actress but she never got the chance to even come close to being one.
Li Beinian found her life in the previous lifetime to be absolutely ridiculous.
An icy cold gaze formed in her bright, light eyes.
Just as Yang Liangyu was about to speak, he immediately stopped after staring at Li Beinian.
Why has she changed so quickly!?!
Yang Liangyu was feeling a little exasperated and was just about to flare up. However, he noticed the infinite coldness in her pure and watery eyes.
He then decided to change his tone. “It’s not that I look down on you but we have a strict selection process. We usually don’t accept mediocre actors.”
Yang Liangyu was a little angry and frustrated at himself.
Why do I have to be afraid of her!?!
I am the one that call the shots here. Who is this lass!?!
Yang Liangyu glowered at Li Beinian and barked, “You must have self-awareness, do you understand!?!”
Li Beinian squinted and said calmly, “I’ll try.”
“Try?”
Yang Liangyu chuckled.
Hmph, just with what she has?
Try?
Yang Liangyu sneered, “You’d better not embarrass yourself!”
“Are you unwilling to let me try, just because you’re afraid that I might be too outstanding? Otherwise, why would a man like you have so much crap to say?” Li Beinian asked smilingly.
Yang Liangyu humphed with a sullen expression. “You won’t give up until you face failure. I shall see how capable you are.”
