Gong Xi barges into LME insisting that she meet with the person
that can make her a star, and eventually a manager agrees to hear her out.
However her lack of direction leads him to believe that she is nothing more
than fan obsessed girl and he consequently ushers her out. He Lian takes note
of the situation all the while. Unfazed Gong Xi begins to stalk the manager
until he compromises by giving her a spot in the upcoming audition, and within
a heartbeat she takes it.
At the auditions another young lady is introduced (Moko) and
she is pissed at the presence of a child. She pushes the little girl on to bystander
Gong Xi and storms off. The girl begins to cry and Gong Xi begins to squeeze
her cheek; telling her that one should not be dependent on tears, because people
won’t always come running to help. Something
like that… Before the first round of the auditions LME’s president parades
into the joint and gives a small opening speech. The applicants are then allowed
to showcase one of their talents in an attempt to move the judges. On Moko’s turn she memorizes a script
instantly and acts on par to an already videotaped actor; she impresses everyone.
Gong Xi is the last to go on stage and she wows everyone with her ability to
cut a radish into something that looks like a flower. Needless to say, they
both pass. The next round involves instantaneous acting. Each applicant is
given a phone to which they must effectively respond to what is said. Moko
passes with flying colors. When Gong Xi gets on stage, she listens and hears a
man beg for forgiveness. Apparently he had mistreated her while acting like a Grade
A jerk and because everything he says is synonymous to Shang she is at a loss
for words.
REMARKS:
Like I said last time, the biggest downfall of this drama is
the acting. It’s just not there. However I can sympathize, the manga is known
for its zany antics and putting that into a live action is one hell of a
challenge. They do make some amends by inserting animations and wacky music. Out
of curiosity, does anyone else think that Shang and He Lian are dubbed over?
