“With your acting skills, how can you not pass?” Yicheng was not worried at all. “As long as the selection is fair and just, it’s impossible that you won’t pass. If you don’t pass, there must definitely be a conspiracy.”
“I’ve also considered the problem you mentioned,” Jiang Xun said. “If I really can’t arrange the schedule, I can only ask my classmates to help me record the content of the class. I’ll watch the videos later.”
“That’s a good idea. If it’s decided, I’ll arrange it. I’ll go and discuss it with the school. Don’t bother your classmates. I’ll arrange for someone to follow your class schedule and have a camera at the back to record every class,” Yicheng said. “Let’s see how Director Guo’s play is arranged this time. Even if it’s fit the schedules this time, there will be time conflicts in the future, so it’s better to make preparations early.”
Jiang Xun agreed.
She had just gotten off the phone with Yicheng when she received a message from Zilong.
He didn’t expect that Zilong and Yicheng would ask the same question.
Jiang Xun then told Zilong the method that she had discussed with Yicheng.
Zilong: [That’s not bad.]
Zilong: [There’s one more thing. I heard that Su Youlan is also fighting for the role of Lin Xuyan. You might run into her when you go for the audition.]
When Jiang Xun had not gotten into acting yet and was just starting out in the influencer industry, she had heard of Youlan.
Youlan was known as the number one beauty in the entertainment industry, so every time a beauty appeared, there would be people comparing her to Youlan.
Other than her beauty, Youlan’s acting skills were also commendable.
Jiang Xun did not know how good Youlan’s acting skills were.
She really did not have much time to watch Youlan’s dramas.
Her classes, filming, and livestreaming had already taken up all her time.
However, one thing was that Youlan was much more famous than her.
Before Xiuse was overturned, she was known as a top female celebrity. However, Youlan was indeed recognized as the ceiling for female celebrity, the top of the top.
Jiang Xun: [I didn’t expect Su Youlan to be interested in this role. This role is not the main character, so why would she be willing to play it?]
Zilong: [This drama doesn’t strictly have a main character, but all things considered, Lin Xuyan is the central character of this drama. She has a lot of scenes, and the character design is good, so it’s not surprising that Su Youlan wants to play it. You might not understand the meaning of joining Guo Haolun’s team, but she’s willing to play a supporting role in Old Guo’s drama. Old Guo’s team is now synonymous with excellent production. As long as it’s his drama, it will definitely fly to the stars. Moreover, the publicity and marketing in all aspects are also top-notch.]
Zilong: [As long as the drama starts broadcasting, the popularity will immediately rise and it will be vigorously promoted on various social platforms. Even if it’s just a supporting role with relatively few scenes, it will be guaranteed to have a very high exposure rate. In addition, he never filmed any popular dramas. To be able to act in his dramas meant that the actor’s acting skills had received his approval. If someone was a popular celebrity, they would definitely be able to rely on his dramas to transform successfully. Based on their exposure, reputation, and many top-level traffic, they wouldn’t hesitate to lower themselves to play a supporting role in his dramas.]
Zilong: [Not to mention that Lin Xuyan’s role is very important and her character is well-set. It’s not surprising that Su Youlan wants to fight for it.]
After Jiang Xun finished chatting with Zilong, she went to search for Youlan’s works.
Youlan was not old and was only 25 years old this year.
However, she was born as a child star, so her acting experience could be said to be very rich.
Moreover, when she debuted, she mainly acted in movies and directly entered the film industry.
At such a young age, she already had achievements that many actors could not achieve.
Jiang Xun discovered that Youlan had never acted in a television drama before.
She wanted to use Haolun’s drama as an excuse to transform, as Zilong had said.
That was because the movies she acted in were all co-productions with well-known directors. She was a pure movie star.
According to netizens, a movie star acting in a television drama was considered to have descended to the mortal world.
However, the role in the television drama that Youlan came to the mortal world to act in was not even a big female lead.
The movie industry was indeed not as hot as it had been in the past few years. Many movie actors came to act in TV dramas for higher pay.
However, in such a situation, the producers gave the actors extremely high pay and a guaranteed role.
It was really rare for someone like Youlan to need an audition to compete for a different role.
However, this also showed that the casting of Haolun’s drama was indeed fair.
Even a movie star like Youlan had to participate in the audition.
As for whether the audition was just a formality, Jiang Xun wouldn’t make any wild guesses without any results or evidence.
However, Jiang Xun didn’t expect a movie star like Youlan to compete for Xuyan’s role.
She had confidence in herself, but it wasn’t to the extent of being blindly arrogant.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xun returned home after class and took some time to watch one of Youlan’s movies.
Jiang Xun rubbed her chin and asked the system, “I think my acting skills are about the same as Su Youlan’s.”
The system said, “They are indeed… about the same.”
Although the system didn’t want to admit it, it felt that Jiang Xun was probably a natural talent.
She had only played two roles, but her acting skills were on par with Youlan’s years of acting experience.
The system said, “However, I feel that Su Youlan’s acting has become a little stereotyped. She’s not as agile as she was in the beginning.”
It was probably because of this that Jiang Xun was able to be on par with Youlan’s acting skills.
Jiang Xun rubbed her chin. “You’re saying that because I don’t have the support of the system’s acting skills, and I don’t act much, I’m not as experienced as her, so my acting is more natural. She’s experienced, so she’s a bit of a model. That’s why the two of us have achieved some balance. She has her strengths, and I have mine. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have weaknesses, right?”
The system was surprised. It didn’t expect the host to be so clear about herself.
And she wasn’t angry that it didn’t meekly follow her words.
It had been careful and didn’t say it out loud just now because it was afraid that the host would be angry.
Jiang Xun sneered at the system, “Hehe, don’t use your needle-like mind to guess my broad mind.”
The system: “…”
It was going to be embarrassed by this host!
Jiang Xun rubbed her chin, “If that’s the case, I’m not completely confident about the audition this time.”
The system: “I can calculate your chances of winning for free.”
Jiang Xun said, “Sure.”
Since the system said it was free, it would be a waste of a free opportunity.
The system said, “According to the calculation, your chance of succeeding in this audition is 52.38% .”
Jiang Xun said, “What about Su Youlan?”
The system said, “It’s 47.62% .”
Jiang Xun said, “The two of us are already makes up 100%? There’s no one else?”
The system: “I didn’t count the others, I only counted you and Su Youlan. The other actors are just escorts, so they don’t count.
