Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shi Xi was someone from her Publicity Department. It was not Ye Xinya’s place to point fingers at her.

The president coughed and said, “The rest of you, go and change your clothes and put on makeup first. Set up the props. I’ll teach Shi Xi about positioning.”

“Just don’t affect the normal performance of the play,” Ye Xinya said, turned around, and left.

“It’s not Shi Xi’s fault that the play can’t be performed normally.” Qiu Xiaoyun was furious.

She was kind enough to ask Shi Xi for help, but Ye Xinya was still picky.

Shi Xi took the script and said, “Let’s talk about the script first.”

The president had rehea.r.s.ed many times and was very serious when he explained the scene to Shi Xi.

Shi Xi was originally an actress and had seen the masterpiece [Thunderstorm], so she quickly familiarized herself with the script.

“If you can’t remember the lines, just improvise. I’ll get someone to write an inscription next to me,” the president said.

“It’s okay. I remember the lines.” Shi Xi nodded nonchalantly.

Previously, when she was on set, she often changed her lines and filmed them on the spot.

Shi Xi had already mastered the skill of shorthand.

The audience entered the auditorium on time.

Although it had been clarified that Shi Xi would not be coming to the play, they had bought the tickets after all.

The auditorium was still full of people.

Backstage, Shi Xi and the president were still rehearsing.

[Thunderstorm] was a very famous play. The relationships between the characters were complicated, and the plot conflicts developed quickly.

Fortunately, Shi Xi was going to play the role of the Fourth Phoenix as a supporting role. Relatively speaking, it was simpler.

…The play started on time.

The drama club did not prepare for a live broadcast, but they had arranged for cameras to record the stage.

Shi Xi had originally thought that the students in the drama club were just ordinary people and would not be able to act the characters well.

However, the members were well-prepared and full of emotions.

From their tone, one could hear the depth of their words.

The performance and explosiveness of the stage were about to ignite as the plot progressed.

Fan Yi, played by Ye Xinya, was bold and sinister, intelligent and quiet, sometimes cold and sometimes fanatical.

Shi Xi was not familiar with the other members, but they were all very serious.

Only then did Shi Xi understand why there were still people willing to watch and act in plays when the video industry was so rich.

It was indeed powerful.

When Shi Xi appeared, the crowd was filled with shock.

“Didn’t they say that Shi Xi wouldn’t act?”

“Shh, lower your voice.”

“Let’s see first.”

Shi Xi played the role of Fourth Phoenix, who had a pure and clear personality. She treated people sincerely and looked forward to sweet love. Her eyes were bright.

On this dark stage, Shi Xi was like a beam of light that suppressed the surging waves under the dark curtain.

However, this light also disappeared in an instant.

The plot reached its climax.

On the night of thunder and lightning, everyone gathered in the living room.

Fourth Phoenix knew her ident.i.ty and ran out of the living room in shame, dying of electric shock.

In the thunderstorm, the story fell to dust.

The others were either dead or crazy.

The play was very successful, and the news of Shi Xi partic.i.p.ating in the play was quickly released.

#Shi Xi’s Play, Thunderstorm#

There was only a short video under the topic.

It was taken by the audience with their phones.

A discussion immediately broke out.

[Wow, Shi Xi is acting in a drama? It looks good!]

[Shi Xi’s acting skills have always been on point.]

[Didn’t you say that Shi Xi wasn’t going to act? Why is she acting again?]

[Ah? I remember that Shi Xi’s name wasn’t on the list. Did Shi Xi replace someone else’s role?]

[My heart aches for the girl whose role was s.n.a.t.c.hed away.]

[…]

After some guessing, everyone had already thought of Shi Xi as a ‘bad guy who stole someone else’s role’.

At this moment, Shi Xi had just finished her play. She endured her sleepiness and tiredness and was prepared to fly to the recording location of [Dancing for a Summer]..
