Chapter 140 Yu Mei Takes the Exam for a Contract Actor (2) Passes the Preliminary Exam Again Using H

The reason Yang Yumei failed her first audition for a contracted actor with the union was that she was replaced by someone else. However, she didn't know who this person was or who had such powerful connections.

At the audition, Yu Mei, like everyone else, started with a preliminary test of dialogue and a performance without props, and passed on the spot. Then she went back to wait for the second round of auditions.

As a result, union staff informed Yang Yumei that she had cheated during the preliminary exam and was disqualified from the re-examination. This means she failed the preliminary exam. They hoped she would utilize her strengths in the next exam and not try to cheat!

Yang Yumei was furious when she saw the announcement in the group chat for candidates who had passed the preliminary exam. She was going to confront the union. How could she have cheated or shirked responsibility? What kind of nonsense was this? Then she wrote a message in the group chat: "What the hell is all this nonsense?"

She privately chatted with Wang Yufeng, saying she was going to talk to the head of the union and ask what was going on.

Then Wang Yufeng suppressed her. Wang Yufeng advised, "Yumei, we have no power or influence, and we won't get anything out of making a scene. We might even offend people and lose our chance to take the exam in the future."

Yang Yumei stomped her feet in anger, "This is all so unclear, I can't swallow this!" But after calming down, she realized that Wang Yufeng was right.

A few days later, Yang Yumei learned that the person who had replaced her was actually a wealthy businessman's daughter named Qian Duoduo. The businessman had donated a large sum of money to the union, and the union had secretly arranged for her to be replaced.

Yang Yumei was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do. Just when she was about to give up, she learned by chance that a veteran actor was preparing a new play and was holding an open casting call. Moreover, this veteran actor valued the actors' genuine acting skills the most and did not care about connections.

Yang Yumei felt a glimmer of hope and went to the audition after careful preparation. On the day of the audition, she perfectly demonstrated her abilities and ultimately won the role.

The show was a huge success after it aired, and Yang Yumei rose to prominence with her outstanding acting skills. Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo, who replaced her through connections, gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry due to her poor acting abilities.

A month later, Yang Yumei booked another Friday for the union's preliminary audition for contract actors.

It was almost time. The exam started at 1:30 pm on Friday, and Yu Mei arrived early at the union office building in the town's film and television city to take the exam for the contracted actor.

Then the preliminary exam began. Yang Yumei was full of confidence for this exam. Many of the other candidates recognized her, after all, she had just shone in that hit drama. Some people whispered about how she had been impersonated before, their eyes full of sympathy and admiration.

The exam has begun. After the previous candidates have finished, the next candidate, Yang Yumei, will read a passage from the TV series "A Generation of Hong Merchants," consisting of about ten lines.

At first, she pronounced each sentence clearly, but later she began to read haltingly. The five examiners, both male and female, sitting in front of her raised their hands to signal her to stop, but she insisted on finishing.

Just as the five examiners, each with a stern face, ordered their men to throw her out, Yang Yumei suddenly used her "special ability" of the laws of time and space to turn the tide.

Then her voice became exceptionally clear and captivating, and she paused after finishing her reading. The five middle-aged examiners, two men and three women, stared in disbelief at Yu Mei, their eyes wide with astonishment. How could someone possess such a beautiful voice? Not only was her Mandarin excellent, but it was simply extraordinary!

Then Yang Yumei bowed deeply to the five examiners and said, "I'm sorry, teachers, I don't know what happened just now? My mind was clearing up, but then I came back to focus."

The examiners exchanged glances, said nothing, and let her continue to the second one, beginning her pantomime performance.

When it came to the pantomime segment, a female examiner gave her a task: to perform a pantomime of cleaning windows in a middle school classroom during the summer. She would be cleaning the windows alone while the female students were cleaning the windows, and the boys would help by bringing water, etc.

Yang Yumei closed her eyes slightly and instantly got into character. She picked up a non-existent dry rag, then bent down and pretended to wash it with her hands in the basin of water the male classmate had placed in it. Then, she called out to the empty space next to her, "Hey classmate, add more water!"

Then, gently wringing the glass halfway dry with both hands, I straightened up and skillfully wiped an imaginary piece of glass, my movements fluid and natural, as if I were truly in that summer classroom.

Then beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she would occasionally use her idle left hand to brush her long bangs aside. Her focused expression was touching.

Suddenly, as she was acting, a very familiar-looking man appeared in front of her.

Then, her movements became chaotic and she seemed lost, even stumbling halfway through her Mandarin reading during the exam. It was this man who suddenly appeared before her; the reason was that she and this male classmate had done the same reading together in a Chinese class back in junior high school.

Then Yu Mei used her special ability to travel through time to suppress it, and she was able to return to the normal exam track.

Similarly, while she knew the five examiners were in a state of panic and worry for her, her special ability to control time and space exerted a powerful influence on her own romantic feelings.

She returned to normal, gave a very good and realistic performance in the pantomime acting exam, and only then did the five examiners relax their tense and worried emotions! They didn't want to lose such a promising talent in the entertainment industry.

Yang Yumei's performance was vivid and lifelike. After the performance, the examination room was silent, then erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The examiners showed approving expressions. One of the male examiners smiled and said, "Yang Yumei, your performance today was excellent, although you made a small mistake along the way, but you quickly corrected it. We believe in your ability and appreciate your attitude." The other examiners nodded in agreement.

She portrayed the character with remarkable depth and realism. The examiners nodded frequently, their faces showing approval.

After the exam, Yang Yumei wasn't as anxious as she had been last time while waiting for the results. When the union staff announced that she had passed the preliminary exam with the highest score and advanced to the second round, she was filled with joy. She knew that this time she had earned her qualification based on her own true abilities.

Then she went back to wait for the next round of auditions. She believed in herself and was determined to face the even more rigorous assessment in the next round. She wanted to maintain her composure and not falter, hoping to successfully become a featured actress.

She knows that fairness may be delayed in this industry, but as long as she persists in working hard to improve herself, it will eventually come.

But it's easy to explain, but why is that boy haunting me, as if I've betrayed my family and a husband who loves me deeply?
