I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 25: Born for the Screen

Perhaps it was due to him practicing martial arts, it gave off a unique aura that made him more attractive than those ‘little fresh meat’ in this generation.

“Not bad,” said Xiao Feifei as she unreservedly evaluated Ye Lingchen from top to bottom.

Ye Lingchen’s role is the villain boss in the TV series. Manipulative and unreasonably powerful, yet somehow— he fell in love with the female lead in the movie, and that would be Xiao Feifei.

The villain falling in love with the heroine. The outcome was set from the start.

In the dark, Ye Lingchen would continuously assist Xiao Feifei, even saving her life multiple times. In the end, he would even sacrifice himself for Xiao Feifei.

The plot was slightly cheesy, add to it the martial arts elements, it was likely to be a hit.

“Lingchen, it’s your turn soon. Don’t be nervous.” Having said that, Xiao Feifei led the way onto the stage.

This scene is where Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei first met each other.

Xiao Feifei lost her footing and fell off a cliff. Ye Lingchen at the bottom of the cliff witnessed it and flew over to save her.

Even though it was referenced to as a cliff, it was actually just a little dirt mound that was not even five meters in height. It would be processed at a later stage.

“Brother Ye, are you sure you don’t need a harness?” Li Tai asked worryingly.

“No need.” Ye Lingchen shook his head. “Five meters is not considered tall. I’m fine!”

“Alright.”

“Ready—”

“ACTION!”

With that, Xiao Feifei stumbled and fell from the cliff!

Facing the sky, the sound of the wind rustling, her white skirt waved.

Live, Xiao Feifei was instead lowered slowly with a harness.

At that moment, a masked Ye Lingchen appeared.

He stood at the bottom of the cliff, with a huge electric fan blowing at him to have his cape waving in the air, making rustling sounds!

Right after that, he dashed forward at high speeds, stepping onto the cliff wall, rushing upwards!

The dirt mound was shaped vertically. Ordinary people would have problems climbing it.

Yet, Ye Lingchen traversed the terrain as though flat ground. He then flipped sideways, soaring through the air!

Both hands holding onto Xiao Feifei, both meeting for the first time. They exchanged passionate gazes in a close-up shot, followed by a steady landing!

“F*ck! That’s a wall run!” The camera crew was stunned in surprise.

That move executed by Ye Lingchen was not some special effects that could be edited in during post-production. That stunt was purely of his own prowess!

This scene would definitely be a major highlight of the TV series!

“Feifei, Feifei…” Miss Lin called out softly. Only then did Xiao Feifei come to, blushing as she got out of Ye Lingchen’s embrace.

“Could it be that you were in character?” Miss Lin questioned Xiao Feifei doubtfully.

During the fall, Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei had to passionately lock gazes. Surprisingly Xiao Feifei lost herself in the moment.

Xiao Feifei dared not look at Ye Lingchen, “No, I was just surprised. Lingchen’s acting skills are just too good.”

When they locked gazes earlier, Ye Lingchen managed to act out the essence of ‘love at first sight’ for all to see. The passion, contradiction, fear, gentleness, all in one look. That one gaze almost dragged Xiao Feifei into it.

“Show me the earlier scene!” Li Tai urged impatiently.

Everyone looked at the filming screen. The scene had yet to be edited.

However, with one look, their faces were all showing astonishment.

“Brother Ye, did you learn how to act in the past?” Li Tai asked Ye Lingchen.

Xiao Feifei and the rest looked at Ye Lingchen similarly.

His acting skills were just too unbelievably formidable!

From the aura he presented, the minutiae of his movements, to his eyes, they were all spot on.

Normally, with Xiao Feifei being an A-list superstar and Ye Lingchen with his face hidden, the screen should focus on her. However, when looking at the screen, everyone’s eyes would inadvertently deviate towards Ye Lingchen.

At that moment, Ye Lingchen was the villain in the TV series. Ruthless and arrogant, yet gentle and passionate. A set of extremely contradicting qualities. Unless at the level of the best actor, a regular person would not be able to act out and convey such qualities succinctly.

The crowd that was worried about Ye Lingchen’s acting skills was rendered speechless.

“Brother Ye, it is as though you are born for the screen!” Li Tai exclaimed again. If not because Ye Lingchen’s lack of interest in this field, he really wanted to pull him under his wing.

“This scene was done with a single take. Next scene, get ready—”

Li Tai could not wait to explore Ye Lingchen’s acting skills.

“ACTION!”

In this scene, Ye Lingchen was surrounded. Yet he was to appear tyrannical and haughty, fighting his way out of the situation magnificently all by himself!

Ye Lingchen, draped in his black cape, stood amidst the crowd. Even though he was masked, his eyes looked as though they were filled with lights that pierced through the skies, looking down on everything!

“Death to those in my way!”

A shout as strong as rolling thunder, many of the extras around him were felt weak in the knees. Li Tai, despite being outside the field, too felt a tyrannical pressure rushing toward him!

The next moment, Ye Lingchen moved!

His moves did not require any live practice but instead doing as he wished. Every movement was oppressive yet dazzling. Within the crowd, at a level beyond everyone else, his deep mastery of martial arts and an aura of belittling the world were fully displayed through his acting.

“Wonderful! That’s the essence of acting!”

Li Tai shook in excitement, “Cameraman, record from all angles! His eyes, movement, and footwork. Don’t leave anything out!”
