607 Jiang Xun Is Very Nice
Zhaodi looked at Jiang Xun in surprise. He didn’t expect her to have such an understanding.
“Sure, it just so happens that the big sister’s role still needs singing. Xiao Chen is a professional in this, so she’ll be able to perform better. Then let’s go through the script,” Zhaodi said.
“Have you all watched this movie?” Zhaodi asked.
From Jiang Xun’s analysis, it seemed like she had seen it before.
However, the two of them shook their heads.
“You haven’t seen it? You haven’t seen it either, Jiang Xun?” Zhaodi asked in surprise.
“I haven’t.”
“But I heard you analyzing the role of the younger sister just now. Your analysis was quite clear and logical,” Zhaodi said.
“I read the script and analyzed it based on the words. I’m planning to go back and watch the movie again to understand it in depth with the script,” Jiang Xun said.
Zhaodi: “???”
How could she analyze it so accurately without having watched it?
Zhaodi didn’t believe it.
Jiang Xun had probably watched it a long time ago, so she was deliberately saying that she had not watched it to show off that she was a particularly talented actress.
Zhaodi sneered in his heart and looked down on Jiang Xun even more.
A pretentious fake and an idol who knew nothing were in his group.
Although the effect of the act might not be good enough, at least he could win for sure, as long as there was no shady business.
Zhaodi felt much better thinking about it.
“Then let’s go through the show first,” Zhaodi said.
The three of them were familiar with the script’s lines.
The scene they were going to play was the night before the city fell, when Zhaodi played the role of the father who went to ask the elder sister for money.
As a gambling addict, he had to go to the elder sister to ask for money from time to time.
When he went to ask for money this time, he happened to see her packing up.
The two argued for a while. The father knew that the city was about to fall, so he took the elder sister’s money and ran away.
Fortunately, the elder sister had hidden some.
When the younger sister arrived at her elder sister’s house, she happened to bump into her father, who had just come out after snatching something.
She was knocked down by her father in a hurry. For some reason, her father ran away after taking a look at the younger sister. He did not have any attachment to his two daughters.
The younger sister went upstairs to look for her elder sister with a puzzled face. After learning the reason from her elder sister, she refused her elder sister when she wanted to take her away and accused her of being ungrateful. She insisted on staying.
Then, it was the final climax of the film.
The elder sister sacrificed herself to save her younger sister and those students who were not experienced in the world, who had dreams and ambitions but were not practical.
Shuxiao couldn’t find the right feeling when rehearsing.
She was indeed older than Jiang Xun, but only by a year, so there was not much of an age difference between them.
In addition, she was the idol of a girl group, and she usually dressed up pretty and cute, so she gave people the impression that she was younger.
Suddenly, she had to play the role of a mature and steady elder sister who knew how to balance herself and was willing to sacrifice herself for her younger sister. It made her seem out of character.
It was fine if Shuxiao acted in some sweet dramas, and there were even voice-over effects.
However, Shuxiao couldn’t get the hang of performing with such a high level of difficulty and using her natural voice on stage.
Zhaodi threw the script aside. “Forget it, let’s rest! Practice your lines first! How can you be an actor when you haven’t even practiced your lines! You’re wasting other people’s time!”
Zhaodi threw the script on the floor and left.
After he left, he didn’t forget to post on Weibo. [It’s okay if you don’t know how to act. Don’t come to the competition. You’re even delaying other people’s rehearsal progress!]
Shuxiao’s face turned pale.
She knew that she was still far from being a professional actress, and she was here to improve.
She felt especially stressed and sorry for dragging this group’s progress.
Shuxiao felt even worse after hearing what Zhaodi said.
Trembling, she took out her phone and called her manager. “Sister Qing, can you find me a performance teacher now?”
Su Yiqing was puzzled. “Why do you suddenly want to hire a performance teacher? Actually, the company is already looking for a teacher for you, but I feel that it’s either you don’t look for one, or you have to find a teacher who can help you. I’ve already contacted a teacher, but you still need time to get used to each other. The teacher also has to arrange his own time and can’t come over immediately.”
“They’ve already finished dividing the actors for the first round. The roles and scenes have also been confirmed. However, I didn’t perform well. My acting and lines were not good enough, and the teacher in the same group was angry. I want to practice more in private. Even if the time is too short now, immediate practice should have some effect, right? Isn’t it said that sharpening one’s spear in the face of a battle is both fast and bright? There’s still a day of rehearsal next week. I’ll use this one week to practice and I’m sure I’ll improve.”
“A teacher from the same group?” Yiqing reacted quickly. “Is it Zhou Zhaodi?”
“How did you know?” Shuxiao was surprised.
“I saw his Weibo post just now. I was wondering who he was referring to, but it turns out he was referring to you.” Yiqing’s voice turned cold. “He’s just taking advantage of the fact that he has few fans and dares to criticize everything. Look at those people who have a lot of fans, who doesn’t speak and act cautiously?”
Yiqing could guess what Zhaodi was thinking.
It was nothing more than him feeling that he had the ability but wasn’t popular, and earned little.
For someone like Shuxiao, who didn’t know how to act, she could play the female lead because she was young, beautiful, and had many fans.
Now, he had to participate in a variety show with Shuxiao and act in a show together.
“He said that your acting wasn’t good. He didn’t name anyone, but it was obvious that he was referring to a person. His Weibo post had already been screenshotted by a marketing account and sent out. Now, the netizens know about the incident and are guessing who Zhou Zhaodi is referring to. Because ‘In Position, Shoot’ had already announced the lineup, the netizens can easily guess that Zhou Zhaodi is referring to a guest on the show. From the clues in his words, they deduced that he’s not referring to the actors. If it’s not an actor, then it can only be a singer or an idol.”
“The scope is gradually narrowing down, so you’re also on the list of guesses by the netizens,” Yiqing briefly explained. “You’ll know when you look at his Weibo later. But just look at it, don’t be affected by his Weibo post and the comments from the netizens.”
…
“Since you said you’re looking for a teacher, you must want to act well and make people look at you in a new light. It doesn’t matter if you don’t act well now. Everyone starts from scratch, gradually accumulating experience and constantly improving. He, Zhou Zhaodi, didn’t get to where he is now in one go. Even if one enters the industry with such acting skills, people should give them room and opportunities to improve, right? Don’t be afraid of your bad acting skills. As long as you work hard, you can improve,” Yiqing said. “So you must not be affected by those comments now.”
“Just hold it in and put on a good show this time. Give Zhou Zhaodi a good slap in the face!” Yiqing said.
