On the stage, Chen Feng was seen sitting there, head bowed, seemingly rubbing something with an eraser, then revising and correcting it.
He spoke his lines calmly.
“Therefore, I believe that in the Elite Center, only Karate should exist.”
“Everything else should be abolished.”
At this moment, Jiang Wen suddenly sat up straight and said domineeringly, “What do you mean? Only your Karate? Then what are we?”
Jiang Wen’s words were very domineering.
His aura overwhelmed everyone.
On the live broadcast platform:
“It has to be our Director Jiang; he naturally carries a domineering aura when acting.”
“Oh no. Trying to act arrogant and wild in front of him? Isn’t that like showing off one’s axe before Lu Ban?”
“Aura crushing.”
“How awkward. In front of Jiang Wen, Chen Feng still looks like a good little boy. Why is he wearing glasses? It makes him look even weaker, doesn’t it?”
“Absolutely a mess.”
“Anyway, so far, I haven’t seen any arrogance or wildness from Chen Feng.”
…
All the audience’s feelings were consistent.
With just that one sentence, Jiang Wen successfully suppressed everyone.
It was as if he was the arrogant and wild one.
Coupled with the added effect of his lines, there was no chance.
So, everyone waited for Chen Feng to fall apart.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng showed no change in expression to Jiang Wen’s two domineering replies.
He just looked up and smiled casually, “Good question. If you are interested, you can join my Karate department.”
“But you have to pass a selection first.”
“Because I only train elites; I will never accept…”
Speaking of this, he slowly looked at Jiang Wen and smiled faintly, “Absolutely will not accept… trash.”
…
As soon as these words came out, the audience’s feelings changed.
Holy cow!
It’s starting to feel right.
The feeling is here.
Under Jiang Wen’s domineering retort, Chen Feng was able to speak with an ambiguous smile without changing his expression, and that wildness slowly emerged.
And there was anticipation.
Because everyone was waiting to see what Jiang Wen would say next.
And so!
…
Jiang Wen looked at Chen Feng with a sharp gaze and retorted gruffly, “Trash? Why are you looking at me when you say trash? Are you calling me trash?”
It was a threat, with a hint of impulsiveness.
A feeling of wanting to fight.
The atmosphere at the table was palpable.
How to show wildness?
Everyone saw that Chen Feng still had no exaggerated body language or roaring lines; he just showed a very arrogant, even slightly perverted smile.
Then he looked at Jiang Wen and smiled, “Hey, hey, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m not targeting you.”
After speaking, he swept his gaze across the other three judges and smiled wildly, “I’m saying, everyone present here is trash.”
After he finished speaking, his eyes changed.
Sinister and arrogant.
Paired with that ambiguous, perverted smile.
Holy crap!
Who would dare say he wasn’t arrogant?
Even Jiang Wen was stunned by Chen Feng’s performance.
He really wanted to hit someone.
It was the first time in such a setting that he was forced to have such a visceral reaction by an opponent’s acting.
Awesome!
Truly awesome!
Especially this young man in front of him; his eyes were full of expression.
When he looked at him, he looked directly into his eyes.
That feeling was as if he was calling him trash.
What could you do?
You really are trash.
Absolutely brilliant!
He slammed the table in admiration.
Jiang Wen was the first to couldn’t help but bang the table and stand up, giving Chen Feng a thumbs-up, “Good.”
The other three judges also stood up.
Each with a strange expression.
Liu Tianchi smiled contentedly.
Teacher Huang was stunned in amazement.
And Tong Gege was staring at Chen Feng with sparkling eyes.
The performance just now really moved her.
She wanted to collaborate!
It was true.
Good Actors have that kind of charm.
Finally, Chen Feng also stood up, tidied his hair, took off his glasses, and smiled at Liu Tianchi, “Teacher Tianchi, my performance is complete.”
“Hmm, very good.”
Liu Tianchi smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, then loudly announced, “For this round of the promotion match, my final choice is also Chen Feng.”
The live broadcast venue immediately erupted in thunderous applause.
Qu Dan was completely dumbfounded.
What happened tonight?
She felt like an idiot.
Not only was she tormented on stage, but she was also eliminated in the end.
All her preparations not only failed to defeat Chen Feng but also added a halo to him.
What about Ma Jun?
Didn’t he say Chen Feng would definitely be eliminated?
Qu Dan’s mentality collapsed.
…
On the live broadcast platform:
“This performance was exhilarating.”
“Honestly, Chen Feng’s performance was too damn imaginative. How did he come up with such a scene?”
“I always feel like he has a background. Addict, domestic violence, and now he’s labeled arrogant and wild. Can someone big and bold dig him up?”
“Three minutes, I want all his information.”
“Doesn’t look like a good person, confirmed.”
…
By this point, the viewership peak for the variety show “What is an Actor” had already arrived.
It was a hot topic across the entire internet.
Chen Feng’s promotion was without suspense.
However, with popularity comes trouble.
Increased exposure naturally led to envious people.
As a result, more and more comments online claimed that Chen Feng was not a good person at all, even labeling him with many baseless accusations.
They said he was just acting as himself.
After all, the roles he had exposed were basically villainous.
And Chen Feng?
He actually didn’t care at all.
Returning backstage, he exhaled comfortably.
He looked at his attribute panel.
Host: Chen Feng
Profession: Actor
Level: 1 (4/30)
Activated Character Templates: Addict, Chef, Abusive Husband, Arrogant and Wild Man.
Personal Skills: None
Inventory: None
Not bad!
Four character templates now.
Although only the Chef template was useful in daily life, it was already quite good.
Enough is enough.
He would develop them slowly in the future.
The live broadcast continued.
The remaining groups began their PKs one after another.
As for the contestants who had already advanced, they were all called into a large room, where everyone gathered to continue watching the live broadcast.
Waiting for the final promotion match to end.
At that time, all the qualifiers would go to the stage together once.
Just a formality.
As for those who were eliminated, staff members were already responsible for sending them off.
Qu Dan was sent away.
The sight of her being sent off was quite pitiful.
Everyone knew she was ‘abused’ on stage.
But no one sympathized with her.
Because she had strongly demanded it herself, even forcing the other party to sign an agreement.
This beating was bought with money.
Who could say anything?
One could only say this girl’s intelligence was worrying.
…
In the backstage waiting room.
About twenty advanced contestants were sitting there.
When they saw Chen Feng enter, a few outgoing individuals waved and greeted him familiarly.
Some even gave him a thumbs-up.
But most people chose to remain silently seated.
There was no communication at all.
Among them, there were also some relatively well-known minor Actors.
They all looked familiar.
So Chen Feng didn’t mind; if someone greeted him, he would smile, wave back, and walk to a corner to sit down alone.
Among these people, some would inevitably become his competitors in the next round.
There was no need to force social interactions.
It felt fake.
After he sat down, no one seemed to come over to talk to him.
So, after about another forty minutes, all the matches ended.
Out of 108 contestants, 36 advanced in total.
Because some groups were more unlucky, they drew a situation where three people were in one group.
Such a group could eliminate two people at once.
So, it was considered quite bad luck.
Thus, all 36 qualifiers went onto the stage, where the judging Teachers spoke a few words, encouraging and supporting the younger generation.
At the same time, they expressed anticipation for next week’s promotion match.
Finally, the host said a few closing remarks, and this evening’s live broadcast program concluded successfully.
