[Hahaha Brother Liang was completely stunned and completely forgot that this was a game.]

[Brother Liang, stop being dazed, it's your turn to say your lines!]

Someone coughed and reminded him, Liang Ji suddenly remembered what he was going to do, and quickly took over this scene.

The two continued to perform, and the guests were more and more surprised. Song Yuzhi felt very complicated. After wavering for a moment, he still gave applause.

Before coming, he really thought that Chi Qingzhou could do nothing except to attract attention.

However, in fact, Chi Qingzhou was not only good-looking, talented, and strong, but also had excellent acting skills.

Song Yuzhi secretly glanced at Chi Qingning, who was a little stunned, and suddenly hated his habit of cherishing talents.

In the past few months in the crew of "Vast Realms", he had frequent contact with Chi Qingning, and he had a good impression of Chi Qingning— he wanted to pursue Chi Qingning.

He knew that Chi Qingning and Chi Qingzhou did not get along, and if he wanted to win Chi Qingning's favor, he should be honest with Chi Qingzhou.

But he just couldn't get over it, and couldn't abandon his bottom line and professional ethics.

Song Yuzhi gave a fair and impartial evaluation with his eyes closed, while Ling Jiao offered a polite compliment.

Everyone could tell that he had a good relationship with Chi Qingning, which explained their cold attitude toward Chi Qingzhou.

Chi Qingzhou, however, acted as if he didn't notice their indifference at all. He simply smiled, thanked them, and stepped forward with Liang Ji to collect the ingredients.

Chi Qingning stood up, smiled at Song Yuzhi, took off his jacker, and walked to the center of the yard.

Xu Xinxin also followed and began to perform.

They drew a clip from the movie "Spring Breeze and Rain" that Song Yuzhi had just submitted for review. Chi Qingning played a blind boy who was one of the two male leads, and Xu Xinxin played the boy's sister.

Chi Qingning obviously asked a teacher to train for similar roles, and he played well. Xu Xinxin, a girl group idol, couldn't follow his play at all. In just five minutes, she was suppressed and forgot the words three times.

This was the result of Chi Qingning's intentional restraint.

After the performance, Xu Xinxin's face was not very good. She could only put her hands together and bowed repeatedly, asking everyone to show mercy.

Song Yuzhi and Ling Jiao certainly would not embarrass her. After a few comments, they changed their tone and began to praise Chi Qingning.

Especially Song Yuzhi, who almost wrote a short essay praising Chi Qingning on the spot, and finally turned to look at the camera and said with certainty, "Qingning has a high level of understanding and is full of spirit. He is an actor that I am looking forward to."

Chi Qingning's fans were so excited that they kept posting comments like [Ahhh] [Brother is awesome] [Awarded Best Actor, great future! ]— Chi Qingning bowed slightly to thank Song Yuzhi for his comments, and some geeks started to show up.

Zhong Lingshu looked at the two and raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Song seems to appreciate and understand Qingning. Did you really know each other a long time ago?"

Song Yuzhi pondered for a few seconds and thought this was a good opportunity to add some highlights to Chi Qingning, so he said bluntly, "Indeed, we met on the set of "Vast Realms", but we hit it off right away."

Zhong Lingshu didn't respond, but Ling Jiao understood and deliberately held her face and exclaimed, "Brother Song is finally willing to share your experience of making friends with Brother Qingning? You are so slow to warm up, but you became friends with Brother Qingning as soon as you met. We are all so curious!"

Song Yuzhi smiled, "It's just that I was a little embarrassed to say it at the time."

The process of Chi Qingning and Song Yuzhi becoming friends was actually very simple.

Song Yuzhi has starred in many box office and award-winning works, but the ones he admired the most were three obscure movies, one of which had not even been released.

In these three movies, he played a cult death god, an East Asian godfather, and a mental patient with 42 personalities.

Because of the fragmented editing and strange logic, these three movies did not win any box office or awards. Even Song Yuzhi's diehard fans could only barely praise his acting skills.

Chi Qingning admired two of the roles very much, and could understand Song Yuzhi's love and regret for these three movies.

"So that's the case, then your tastes are quite consistent." Ling Jiao said with a smile, "Maybe this is a soulmate?"

The barrage instantly filled with topics such as [High Mountains and Flowing Water] [This Lifelong Confidant] [No wonder we hit it off at first sight]. Not to mention the extremely excited little sweet plums, even Song Yuzhi's several big fans had a good impression of Chi Qingning.

Old and big fans all know that there were very few people who could truly appreciate those three movies. Just for this reason, they were willing to give Chi Qingning a little more face.

Song Yuzhi also acknowledged his friend's statement and corrected a few small details.

"It's not entirely the same. Qingning really liked the characters of the Grim Reaper and the Godfather but didn't quite agree with the patient who had 42 personalities."

"At the time, I felt it was a bit of a shame, but later, I realized he was right."

This role was a top choice for showing off his skills, which perfectly proved his acting skills, but Chi Qingning said that this was the biggest failure of the movie.

He looked at Chi Qingning steadily, with an almost undisguised appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

"Qingning said something that I still remember very clearly."

Ling Jiao asked curiously, "What did Qingning say?"

Song Yuzhi replied, "Qingning said that a good movie and a good performance will not only make the character successful, but also make the story successful. I am acting out someone else's life in the movie, but I am only acting out the person's appearance, not his soul."

"His story is fragmented and incomplete in the film, but this story fails to express his fragmented world."

"I am outside the story and his distorted world, and I have not really sublimated the story."

Song Yuzhi smiled more gently.

"He convinced me. This is why I have always felt that he is very spiritual and insightful."
