Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: Charlotte Thompson, go to die.
"Ah, what should I do? I feel like my performance just now wasn’t very good."
Riley nervously clenched her own hands, and then saw the part of her performance that she had just done on the monitor.
"Not bad, not bad." The director watched and then nodded.
"Actually, I think I can still improve."
Although she had received the director’s praise, Riley still spoke humbly, "Director, how about we..."
However, before Riley could finish her sentence, the director had already shifted his full attention to Charlotte.
"Miss Thompson, you really are..."
The director glanced at Charlotte and then stopped mid-sentence.
Seeing this, Riley quickly spoke up: "Miss Thompson is not a professional actor, so it’s understandable if her acting skills are a bit awkward. She still needs to learn more in the future."
"Yes, Riley." The director clapped his hands and then pointed at Riley, "Although it’s not so good for me to say this, despite you being a performing arts college graduate, your acting still seems a bit awkward, you need to hone it, and should learn from Miss Thompson."
"What!" Riley was entirely unprepared for the director’s comment, and her tone rose a few notches: "Learn from her? She’s just a..."
Seeing Riley stop herself from speaking and with the director not saying anything more, he directly opened the monitor to replay the earlier scene.
After the soul swap of the characters, Charlotte’s previously arrogant and self-satisfied expression was shattered in an instant, revealing vulnerability and authenticity, but this side of her faced tragic torment, plunging her into endless agony.
The agonizing pain that tore at one’s heartstrings became more and more deeply etched with each expression, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, as if she was longing for her own redemption.
But whether ahead or behind her, all that awaited her was darkness.
The sense of helplessness and dejection emanating from Charlotte made it hard for one not to empathize.
However, compared to crying, Riley’s laughing should have had more layers, but it came across as merely a kind of pure madness when performed by her.
"Laughing? Didn’t Miss Thompson perform that as well? She really did a very good job."
The director praised Charlotte while bringing up the clip of her laughing from her performance.
"Oh no, director, I was just acting casually, thankfully Miss Riley is so kind-hearted, otherwise she might have suppressed my acting skills."
Charlotte spoke with a beaming smile, then turned to Riley and said, "Thank you, Miss Riley."
As soon as this title was used, many of the staff on set lowered their heads and stifled the corners of their mouths, their shaking shoulders revealing that they were all holding back their laughter.
The slap in the face couldn’t be more thorough.
"You..."
Watching the scene of Charlotte being surrounded by others, Riley clenched her teeth, then looked around, finally resting her gaze on a prop ladder not far from Charlotte.
Riley’s gaze swept around, and while no one was paying attention to her, she quietly walked around to the back and, after making sure no one was there again, she pushed the prop ladder over.
Due to the needs of the plot, this ladder was made both tall and heavy; if someone were hit by it, they would be seriously injured even if their bones were not broken.
Seeing Charlotte’s head right below the ladder, the moment Riley pushed it over, a terrifying smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Charlotte, go to hell."
