Five minutes later, as Gu Bai said "start," all ten students stood in front of him.

"From now on, I am the kind-hearted person sponsoring your education. Each of you should look at me for 20 seconds. You can choose to add your own lines, and try to showcase the demeanor of a poverty-stricken student, as you understand it, to me and all the judges."

"Understood."

Having said this, Gu Bai directly started from the student on the far left and stood in front of them.

This female student looked at Gu Bai's astonishing good looks, her eyes became somewhat dreamy, commonly known as lovestruck. Gu Bai stood expressionlessly in front of her for 20 seconds and then directly moved on to the next contestant.

Several judges sighed and directly marked this contestant with a cross. They only saw infatuation in her eyes, not a hint of a poverty-stricken student's demeanor.

The second contestant was a male. He couldn't help but laugh after just a few seconds of staring at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and he said indifferently, "Is it funny?"

The aura honed by Gu Bai's high position made the boy pause, and his expression instantly turned pale.

Gu Bai shook his head in disappointment and directly moved to the next contestant.

Following this, several contestants were only filled with fear when looking at him due to Gu Bai's previous demeanor, not showing a shred of gratitude. It was only then that Gu Bai realized that this theme might indeed be too difficult for these contestants.

Until Gu Bai stood in front of Wen Jia Min, this girl got into character in a second.

Her eyes emitted that kind of resolute light, a determination that compelled people to want to protect her. Instantly, Gu Bai thought of the orphaned and impoverished student Zhao Yanyan from Heba Village Primary School. It was the same kind of light, though compared to Zhao Yanyan, Wen Jia Min's performance was very heavy-handed and immature. However, for a performance novice, this could be considered genius.

After staring at each other for half a minute, Wen Jia Min softly said, "Thank you," which brought Gu Bai back to his senses.

Gu Bai smiled and nodded at her, then turned to the four judges and said, "Teachers, I suggest that Wen Jia Min can directly skip the second round and go to the final round."

The teacher with the surname He also witnessed Wen Jia Min's performance and was more excited than Gu Bai. It's no exaggeration to say that even students who have studied at the Shanghai Theatre Academy for several years may not perform as well as her; such a student is bound to pass. But the teacher couldn't help but say sternly, "Gu Bai, watch your wording. Whether she advances or not needs discussion at the school level; it's not something we decide at will."

Although these words were severe, everyone knew that Wen Jia Min's performance had impressed all the judges.

After it ended, ten contestants bowed again to the judges and then prepared to leave. Gu Bai pondered for a moment, tore a page from the judges' notebook, wrote down Xiao Qiang's phone number, and called out to Wen Jia Min, who was about to leave.

"Wen Jia Min, please wait a moment."

Wen Jia Min turned back to look at Gu Bai in confusion.

Gu Bai handed the paper to her, saying softly, "Regardless of the results of this exam, I believe you have unparalleled potential in the acting path. If you're interested, you can call this number. You can talk to her, I'll be waiting for you at the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

After saying this, he gave her an encouraging look.

Other students saw Gu Bai's reaction to Wen Jia Min's performance and were almost drooling with envy. How many students participating in Shanghai Theatre Academy don't know Gu Bai's influence in the film and entertainment circles?

Being noticed by Gu Bai means that once you join the entertainment circle, you are certain to rise effortlessly.

Wen Jia Min solemnly accepted the paper from Gu Bai, held it tightly, and nodded heavily.
