Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Zhe said with icy eyes, "Simple! Even if you want to beco an actor, even just an extra, you need a certain level of skill in reciting lines. So let's start by comparing our skill in reciting lines, shall we? If you're too scared to take on, then I'd advise you to just go ho, wash up, and sleep!"
"A competition of reciting lines?" Ye Fan was sowhat surprised.
Although Ye Fan had never acted before, he knew that actors were required to recite lines, and even so extras get lucky to have lines.
Wei Ziyi, aware of Ye Fan's talent, hesitated before asking, "Brother Ye Fan, can you do a competition in line recitation?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem," Ye Fan said, touching his chin.
Wei Ziyi comforted him, "Although the role this ti is a bodyguard, there are so lines, the lines are not too many or too difficult! I believe you can do it, Brother Ye Fan."
"We'll know if we try!" Ye Fan said with a gentle smile.
The next mont, Wei Ziyi looked at Director Liu Ce and said, "Director Liu, bring over the script!"
"Okay!" Director Liu Ce nodded earnestly.
After the script was brought over, Ye Fan glanced at it and noticed the lines were quite simple, just a few sentences.
Wang Zhe, with disdain, said, "Take this script away! These lines are so simple that they're not challenging at all. Kid, do you dare to try sothing harder with ?"
"Alright, how do you want to play?" Ye Fan asked.
It seed to him that this Wang Zhe was just acting brazenly because his father was a big director in the entertainnt industry. Ye Fan didn't mind teaching soone so full of themselves a lesson.
"Wait!"
Wang Zhe said coldly, and then he began fiddling with his phone.
In less than a minute, Wang Zhe pointed his phone at everyone and said, "Here! In ten minutes, whoever can morize these numbers will prove their skill in reciting lines, right?"
"Is... is this pi?" Wei Ziyi exclaid in shock.
"What? morize pi?"
Hearing Wei Ziyi's words, many people in the audience craned their necks to see. They all widened their eyes, clearly not having expected Wang Zhe's competition to be so tricky.
Wang Zhe said aningfully, "Exactly! It's about morizing pi. These are the first two hundred digits of pi, ten minutes to see who can rember them all! Kid, do you dare or not?"
"Wang Zhe, you are being unreasonable!" Wei Ziyi said angrily.
What is pi? It is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diater, an infinite recurring decimal.
It was reported by a fun science website overseas that on August 17, 2021, a researcher used a supercomputer to calculate π to 62.8 trillion digits beyond the decimal point after 108 days, setting the record for the most precise calculation of this constant to date.
Wei Ziyi knew very well that pi has almost no pattern, and morizing it all in ten minutes is as hard as reaching the heavens.
Numbers aren't like characters; if it were two hundred characters, soone with a good mory might be able to morize it all in ten minutes, but morizing two hundred complex numbers in one go is almost impossible.
Being the Little Queen of the Music Scene and now venturing into the acting industry, Wei Ziyi knew very well how difficult it is to morize lines, let alone two hundred digits.
Wang Zhe said with a mocking face, "Ziyi, where am I being unreasonable? I'm just raising the difficulty of the challenge! It's only two hundred numbers, so why can I morize them and he can't?"
"Brother Ye Fan, please don't stoop to his level, this Wang Zhe has simply gone mad!" Wei Ziyi said righteously indignant.
Wang Zhe said with a playful tone, "Kid, apart from hiding behind a woman, what else can you do?"
"Is that so?"
Provoked by Wang Zhe, Ye Fan mocked, "Ziyi, Wang Zhe has a point. If there's no challenge, it wouldn't be interesting at all! Since Young Master Wang wants to have so fun, then let's have so fun! Ten minutes is unnecessary, how about one minute? Whoever can morize them all in one minute is the ultimate winner!"
What! One minute?
The audience all felt that morizing two hundred digits in ten minutes was already quite challenging, but to their surprise, Ye Fan proposed morizing them all in one minute.
"Damn, what is this guy trying to do? Scare off Young Master Wang by setting an impossible challenge?"
"Who knows? Even a super genius with a photographic mory would find it hard to morize two hundred digits in one minute, right?"
"Exactly! Anyone who could morize two hundred numbers in a minute would be a freak of nature!"
For a mont, countless eyes stared at Ye Fan in a daze; they hadn't expected Ye Fan to dig himself into such a hole.
"Brother Ye Fan, please don't act rashly!" Wei Ziyi urged.
Ye Fan reassured her with a smile, "Ziyi, relax, I'm confident!"
"Well... all right then!" Wei Ziyi hesitated before finally nodding in agreent.
Although she didn't know where Ye Fan ca from, Wei Ziyi knew that in her mory, Ye Fan was always capable of anything.
Even if morizing two hundred digits in one minute would be very difficult for ordinary people, once Ye Fan was involved, it wasn't impossible for him to morize them all within a minute.
Ye Fan looked at Wang Zhe and said, "Do you dare to take the challenge for one minute?" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
"Hmph! Think I'm scared of you? If you want to play sothing more thrilling, then bring it on!" Wang Zhe said with a taunting face.
Ye Fan nodded, "Alright! Starting from now, one minute countdown begins!"
With that, Ye Fan opened his phone, searched for the first two hundred digits of pi, and gazed at them intently.
Ten seconds! Thirty seconds!
One minute!
Under everyone's gaze, one minute flashed by in an instant.
"Kid, ti's up! Have you morized them all?" Wang Zhe smiled ominously.
When the minute was up, Ye Fan looked away and said playfully, "Naturally, I have morized them all!"
"Then start reciting!" Wang Zhe said proudly.
Ye Fan could tell Wang Zhe had so confidence, and he nodded, "Alright! Since you are the one who initiated the challenge, you should start first!"
"Fine, I'll go first!"
Wang Zhe smirked coldly, then turned to the audience and said, "I need everyone here to bear witness!"
"Young Master Wang, everyone is watching, you can start!" Director Liu Ce said.
The next second, Wang Zhe put away his phone and, with swagger, said, "Ahem! Listen closely, everyone, the first two hundred digits of pi are 3.1415926..."
While a group of people watched, Wang Zhe began the recitation.
"Hmph! Who doesn't know the first few digits of pi are 3.1415926?" Wei Ziyi pursed her lips dismissively.
However, Wei Ziyi was quickly shocked; without stuttering, after ntioning the first several digits, Wang Zhe's words ca out like a rapid-fire, "519871567..."
Under everyone's expectation, Wang Zhe recited with a single breath, not stopping to breathe, and smoothly recited the first hundred digits of pi.
The many actors were also shocked by Wang Zhe's performance; they had thought he wouldn't rember, but to their surprise, Wang Zhe recited the first hundred digits with an air of ease.
"Wow! Isn't Young Master Wang too aweso? He recited the first hundred digits of pi effortlessly without even taking a breath; this is no simple feat!"
"I used to hear that Young Master Wang only had his position in the film industry because of his father, but now it seems he's relying on his own abilities. Just from the challenge of reciting two hundred numbers in one minute, Young Master Wang's future achievents are sure to be extraordinary!"
"Exactly! Young Master Wang is aweso, Young Master Wang is too aweso!"
