Captivated By You ✔️

40 True Captive

When Wu Chuntao finished her audition, she didn't hesitate to shoot Hui Yin a triumphant look. Although she wasn't as famous as Sister Fei, her acting talent had far surpassed everyone that was auditioning today! Even the director flashed a smile at her performance. They were probably just continuing the audition to give those other famous actresses some face. After all, how could they compare to her, Wu Chuntao?

Today's audition was really unusual. For one, the director didn't reject anyone that came to audition, only giving them the promise that he would call them if they got the part. Two, the way the auditioning artistes were called in so quickly, it was obvious that the time given for them to perform was very short! How could the people inside judge them in only under a few minutes? Were they even taking this seriously?!

Soon, the number of the actress in front of Hui Yin was called. Hui Yin carefully tugged out her earphones and hoped that her hungry stomach could wait for a little bit more.

I'll feed you soon, okay!

But when it was finally Hui Yin's turn, she suddenly became dizzy and had to grab the doorway for support. The female staff looked at her in concern.

"Are you alright?"

Hui Yin forced a smile and nodded. She really shouldn't have skipped breakfast! Thinking of this, a list of delicious dishes popped one after another inside Hui Yin's mind.

Tofu pudding, steamed buns, congee...

As she went inside the audition room, the moment all of the interviewers saw Hui Yin, they were immediately shocked.

In truth, the reason for the fast audition was because they based their judgement on the actress' first impression. Performance? Why on earth would they need those for? This isn't a film for them to show their amazing theatrical skills. A music video usually doesn't have any dialogue, which means that they were mostly based on the character's appearance. Just from the song title, it was actually very easy to understand what the song <Captive> was all about. Simply put, it was a song about a man who was so obsessed with the girl he loved that he had made her become his prisoner.

All the female artistes that came in were full of make-up and excitement, that it made the director feel disgusted. Where was the hint of captivity in those faces? Some had even cried crocodile tears, and performed an excellent monologue of wanting to be freed. Such amateur acting, do they even understand the feelings of a long-time prisoner?

But this girl in front of them had truly rendered them speechless. Without a hint of make-up on, one could see that her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling with fright. Although she didn't cry, they could clearly see her cornered look, like she wanted to be anywhere but here...

It was the perfect look of a forlorn and despairing beauty, a true captive.

In her mind, Hui Yin thought, I want to go to a noodle restaurant...
