The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.156 She’s Challenging Someone Again (4)

Ji Xuan said a little guiltily, "Nothing happened here." But when Cai Jun came forward to take a look, he exclaimed, "My substitute pianist!"

Xiao Yu immediately pointed a finger at Joe David. "He can play the piano. He can replace her."

Joe David smiled. "???"

Bei Hui, "..." Fuck your ancestors, that was the golden opportunity that took so much effort to get!

So, Bei Hui forced herself to stand up said to Cai Jun with shaky hands, "I'm fine, Director Cai."

Cai Jun looked at her trembling hands and said, "You don't look fine!"

Ji Xuan cleared his throat. "Just change the stand-in."

Cai Jun was speechless. "Changing the stand-in isn't the problem, but we only rented this place for one day. By the time we find someone, not only do we have to renew the lease, but whether the venue is even available for us to rent by then is also a problem. If we wait to come by the next time, then we have to get the equipment ready again, and that's if things are going relatively smoothly..."

Ji Xuan frowned. "It's that much trouble?" He only brought Xiao Yu out so she could enjoy herself and didn't really want her to interfere in the crew's affairs. However, he also didn't expect there to be so much trouble.

Bei Hui was really scared of being replaced and she was unwilling to let things end here. She quickly took Cai Jun's hand and said, "Director Cai, I'm really fine! If you don't believe me, I can play a song for you!"

Since everyone was taking a break, the people holding their scripts were also looking over at this time. Xiao Yu herself was an actress to begin with, and she did not have any interest in chasing after celebrities. That was even more impossible for Ji Xuan.

The other three were all pianists and spent most of their time practicing. They naturally had no interest in the entertainment industry.

As for the only shut-in Xu Haotian, he was too poor and managed to get into the Ji Group as soon as he came out of the village. And now he's also found the goddess of his heart already.

So, the group didn't bother with the group of big stars at the side and instead were studying this stand-in for half a day.

They just watched as the stand-in who'd been thrown over his shoulder by the Ji Group's president struggle to stand up and limped her way to the piano with her hand on her waist.

Then, they saw her sitting in front of the piano. Whether it be the stars, the production assistants, or the professional prop managers, all of them were looking green-faced at Bei Hui.

They really couldn't stand it anymore. They were still traumatized by the piano playing of the supporting actress this morning!

As a result, they only realized when Bei Hui began playing seriously that the stand-in was different after all. Now, this was skill!

A wonderfully melodious sound spread across the venue, making the audience feel as if they were immersed in a sea of music.

Xiao Yu asked Fei Yutong, "What do you think?"

Fei Yutong shut her eyes and listened for a while. "It's good. I can't tell which parts are bad at all."

Xiao Yu patted her shoulder. "Feel it carefully. Outsiders are only watching a show, but an insider should observe the skill. You're a pianist who's aiming to go overseas, so treat this like an exam.

So, Fei Yutong listened carefully again, feeling the melody. Slowly, she began to frown. "It feels...a little like a robot playing."

Xiao Yu looked in approval at her and looked over that side. "There's a ridge that every pianist must cross while they are learning, and this is the development from technical skills to expression of the score."

Xiao Yu looked at Bei Hui who was frowning in pain. "There are 10 grades of piano skills which can actually be completed by talented 12 or 13-year-olds. In other words, the grade exam itself was just a test on whether you make mistakes or not and other technical tests.
