"Has Tangning really not acted before?" someone questioned. "It's impossible, with this level of acting, it's impossible..."
"Is it because we had no expectations that we were surprisingly impressed?"
After a few muffled whispers, the studio once again returned to silence...
Every now and then someone would clear their throat to try and break the awkward silence. A moment later, Director Coque stood up and applauded Tangning's performance. Following on, everyone else couldn't help but give their words of praise.
"Have you really not acted before?" even the assistant director that doubted Tangning had his eyes wide open in shock as he questioned her.
"Never..."
"Then can you tell me how you managed to pull this off?" the assistant director was stunned beyond belief. Tangning was not only a model, but she had never studied acting. How could she act this well at her first attempt? It was hard not to point out that Tangning and Yue Shanshan each had their own strengths. But, Tangning seemed to focus on the finer details better than Yue Shanshan and found a way to portray the character in a more suitable way.
As a newbie, she managed to get in and out of character as quick as a flip of a switch...
There were actors that had spent 4 years in acting school only to find their expressions were stiff and their lines sounded like a recital. Her performance made these actors extremely embarrassed.
Tangning lowered her head and smiled before replying, "I don't have any special method. At that moment, I had simply become her."
After speaking, Tangning approached the crowd; she had spotted Mo Ting standing at the back...
"That..." the assistant director and everyone else were still in a state of shock. At this time, Coque put down the items in his hand and approached Mo Ting to give him a handshake.
"I dare to say, acting is the true treasure that you've uncovered from Tangning. I'm sure her achievement in acting will be better than on the runway."
Mo Ting stretched out his hand to shake Coque's and looked at Tangning as he revealed a confident smile; it was like he was trying to say that it was only natural for Tangning to do well in acting. After all, whose wife was she?
In reality, Mo Ting wasn't any less surprised than everyone else. After all, this was his first time seeing Tangning act.
He was used to seeing Tangning on the runway and her confidence and ease on the stage, but this time...
....his eyes didn't only glow, it also contained a passionate fire...
Acting...
It allowed him to see a different side to Tangning; a uniquely interesting Tangning.
A moment later, Mo Ting hooked his arm around Tangning's waist in front of everyone and placed a kiss on top of her head. He then said, "I knew nothing could stand in your way."
At this time, everyone finally noticed Mo Ting had arrived...so they quickly behaved themselves.
Tangning looked at Mo Ting and smiled. She then loosened herself from his embrace and said to everyone politely, "I promised. It is your decision whether I stay or leave..."
"If you can be consistent with the quality of acting you just displayed I am happy to raise both my hands and feet in agreement!" the assistant director exclaimed first as he pointed to Tangning.
Everyone laughed; they felt the same way as the assistant director.
Although they had been slapped in the face by a model, everyone surprisingly gained an interest in Tangning.
