Chapter 606 - 606 You Can Pick First
606 You Can Pick First
Jiang Xun was silent for a while before she said, “Then I’ll call you Xiao Xiao. Shu Shu sounds like I’m calling you uncle. I’ll feel like I’m being taken advantage by you.”
Shuxiao: “!!!”
“I’ve never realized this before!” Shuxiao was shocked. What kind of brain did Jiang Xun have to discover this so quickly!
“Oh no, I still get people to call me Shu Shu or Xiao Xiao.” Shuxiao mumbled, “No wonder they never call me Shu Shu. They just call me Xiao Xiao.”
!!
“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Jiang Xun consoled her, “It’s not a big deal. No one will take it to heart. They also know that you didn’t do it on purpose.”
Shuxiao drooped her shoulders. “I’ve met many seniors and asked them to call me Shu Shu! How could I be so stupid!”
“The seniors call you Xiao Xiao, so they probably didn’t take this matter to heart,” Jiang Xun could only say.
Shuxiao decided to reply to the post and mock herself on Weibo to avoid being misunderstood.
It would be embarrassing if she apologized to her alone for such a small matter.
She might as well mock herself on Weibo.
“Then I’ll call you Jiang Jiang, okay?” Shuxiao smiled and said, “We’re about the same age.”
“Alright.” Jiang Xun nodded.
“Let’s hurry up and start?” Zhaodi urged. He didn’t have as many resources as Jiang Xun and Shuxiao.
One debut as a talent. After the group was formed, they were immediately arrange to be on variety shows and take on various advertising endorsements. First, they starred in a network sweet drama. After the splash, even the male stars they worked with would rise in status.
The other was clearly just a small influencer, but she was being supported by the company. She had never learned any acting before, and was able to film as soon as she entered the entertainment industry.
Although she was just a supporting role with few scenes in the first drama, the character design was very brilliant and there were many lines.
She had a higher starting point than a proper actor.
In her second drama she was directly upgraded to the second female lead, and in the third drama she directly got the role of female lead. The drama team was so luxurious that it made people envious.
He wasn’t as lucky as the two of them. They just had to put on a show and didn’t care about the rankings. They might have even agreed on the rankings with the production team and were just here to go through the motions.
He was different. He really needed to use this show to improve his career.
Zhaodi looked at Jiang Xun and Shuxiao and felt even more displeased.
In their group, Zhaodi was the only male, so the role of the father naturally went to him.
All that was left were the two sisters’ characters.
“Jiang Jiang, which one do you want to play?” Shuxiao asked politely.
“What about you?” Jiang Xun said, “You can pick first.”
Shuxiao was surprised. She didn’t expect Jiang Xun to be so easy to talk to.
Was Jiang Xun really not going to fight for the role?
Could it be that Jiang Xun was speaking nicely now, and she would fight for the role that she had originally thought highly of?
Judging from Jiang Xun’s previous comments, she didn’t seem to be such an uncompetitive character!
In the entertainment industry, Shuxiao wasn’t a naive and innocent person.
People who didn’t fight for their character setting would still fight for it in the end.
When it came to their own interests, they would not remain calm.
Zhaodi frowned and said, “Jiang Xun, I remember that your team got this movie, right? According to the rules, the members of your team have the priority to choose the scenes that your team has drawn. Didn’t you choose first?”
“Yes, but it doesn’t matter to me. I’m fine with either role,” Jiang Xun said indifferently.
Zhaodi pursed his lips. Was Jiang Xun planning to play a new character in the program that didn’t fight for anything, but was harmonious, friendly, and helpful?
“Then, Xiao Chen, hurry up and choose.” Zhaodi urged impatiently, “The earlier we finish, the earlier we can rehearse. Time is tight.”
“The age difference between the two sisters isn’t big, and it just so happens that we’re the same age.” Shuxiao was in a difficult position. “I think the character elder sister has more contradictions. The character design is more distinct and leaves a deep impression on people. However, I’m worried that I can’t act well. If I can’t control my acting, people will hate the elder sister character. This younger sister role doesn’t have as many explosive points as elder sister, and the character design isn’t very good, so I’m afraid it won’t be very brilliant.”
Zhaodi was annoyed to death. Wasn’t it because Shuxiao’s acting wasn’t good, that’s why she was so conflicted?
If she had good acting skills, she would dare to act in any role.
The setting of this movie was in the Republic of China.
The father was a gambler and an alcoholic.
Because the father couldn’t pay back the gambling debt he owed, he sold the elder sister to a brothel.
Fortunately, the elder sister had a good voice and could sing, so she became a songstress.
In order to prevent her father from selling younger sister, the elder sister brought her out and raised her.
However, being a songstress was not easy. It was not enough to just sing. There were different people pestering her every day. In the end, she had no choice but to become the mistress of a rich man.
The elder sister sent her younger sister to a girls’ school, and the younger sister learned new ideas. She felt that the elder sister was dirty, depraved, and didn’t know how to earn her own living. She never acknowledged her elder sister’s identity in ppublic. She even felt ashamed of her elder sister.
Just the day before the city fell, the two sisters had a fierce quarrel.
The elder sister had received the news in advance and wanted to leave with her younger sister as soon as possible.
However, her sister refused to leave. She said that she wanted to stay and fight with her classmates.
However, in the end, the younger sister and the students were captured before they could even fight.
For the sake of her sister, the elder sister did not leave. In the end, she sacrificed herself to save her younger sister and her classmates.
The elder sister that the younger sister had always looked down sacrificed herself to save her.
“Regardless of whether you can act well or not, do you want to play the role of the elder sister more?” Jiang Xun asked.
Jiang Xun wasn’t that easy to talk to. She simply felt that it didn’t matter which role she played.
…
However, unlike Shuxiao, Jiang Xun actually wanted to play the role of the younger sister more.
The role of the elder sister could easily gain the understanding and sympathy of the audience.
The elder sister had sacrificed so much, but the younger sister did not understand or feel grateful, and even looked down on her elder sister.
In the end, it was only because of her sister’s sacrifice that she was able to survive.
This character wasn’t very likable and would definitely be scolded by the audience.
But Jiang Xun was never afraid of the audience scolding the character she played.
Shuxiao nodded carefully.
Jiang Xun said, “Alright, then you’ll play the role of the elder sister. I’ll play the younger sister. Actually, I can understand the role of the younger sister.”
“She had never come into contact with the dark side. All the darkness was borne by big sister for her. She did not know how difficult it was to survive at that time and how much her elder sister had sacrificed for her. The role of the younger sister is simple yet detestable.” Jiang Xun said, “But in the end, she saw that her elder sister didn’t leave, and then she saw her elder sister leave.”
“And this time, she left forever. It’s very difficult for her to express her feelings and reactions at that time. I’m looking forward to giving it a try,” Jiang Xun said.
