Chapter 149: Didn’t Matter If The Party Was Ruined
“Oh, right.” Shocked by Jiang Xun’s talent in acting, Deng Xu had forgotten that people were still waiting in line for auditions.
After watching Jiang Xun’s performance, Deng Xu was a little bored and couldn’t muster up the energy to watch others’ performances.
Even the acting skills of the male and female lead were inferior to Jiang Xun’s.
“Go and get the next one,” Deng Xu said as he sat back down with Screenwriter Ma.
The a.s.sistant took the name list to the next room and called for Jiang Yuexi.
!!
Yuexi saw that the a.s.sistant’s hands were empty, so she asked, “Don’t I need to wear a costume?”
“No, it’s just an audition.” The a.s.sistant smiled.
It was obvious that Yuexi was a newcomer and inexperienced.
So many people came to audition, and each of them was wearing a costume. It was a waste of time.
“But I saw that Jiang Xun wore a costume earlier,” Yuexi said and saw Jiang Xun walking toward her.
Jiang Xun had already changed back into her clothes and removed her makeup.
“Teacher Jiang.” The a.s.sistant saw Jiang Xun and quickly greeted her again.
Jiang Xun smiled and said, “You don’t have to address me like that. I’m a newbie who doesn’t know anything. I can’t be a teacher.”
Jiang Xun was very polite when it came to non-professional matters.
The a.s.sistant smiled but didn’t reply.
He still had to address her like that.
“I’ll leave now. Bye,” Jiang Xun said politely.
“Bye.” The a.s.sistant responded and then said to Yuexi, “Teacher Jiang is going to take a cast photo. Her role has already been decided.”
Yuexi was surprised. Did she want to film together with Jiang Xun?
Before she had time to think, the a.s.sistant pushed the door open and let Yuexi in.
Deng Xu looked at Yuexi’s resume and looked up. “You want to try out Bi Yuexi’s role?”
“Yes.” Yuexi wanted to try out the role of Yu Hengjun, but she couldn’t get it.
“Bi Yuexi’s role is already filled,” Deng Xu said. “You can try out Zhao Yue’er, the courtesan.”
Yuexi didn’t want to play Zhao Yue’er.
This role had fewer scenes, and nothing was outstanding about it.
Although she still had appearances after Bi Yuewu, she was far less outstanding than Bi Yuewu.
“Director, may I ask to whom Bi Yuewu’s role has been given?” She wanted to fight for it.
“It’s given to Jiang Xun.” Deng Xu didn’t care. There was nothing that he couldn’t reveal about it.
“As far as I know, Jiang Xun is only an influencer. She has no acting experience and has never studied acting,” Yuexi said. “Director, I am a serious student of the National Drama Academy. I think I can act better than Jiang Xun. Can you let me try? I still want to fight for the role of Bi Yuewu.”
Knowing that Jiang Xun had won the role of Bi Yuewu, Yuexi had to think of a way to s.n.a.t.c.h it from her.
Jiang Xun was an influencer. She did not know what acting was, so what right did she have to s.n.a.t.c.h her role?
“Alright.” Deng Xu did not care. What he wanted to see was whether Yuexi’s acting was good or not. No matter what role Yuexi wanted to play, as long as she acted it out, he would be able to judge her acting skills.
She would not be given any role if her acting skills were not good.
Deng Xu then asked Yuexi to perform the scene that Jiang Xun had just done.
Screenwriter Ma didn’t mind it being too big of a deal. “Director, why don’t we ask the male actor from before?”
“Since they’re acting in the same scene, the male actor from before was so scared by Jiang Xun that he fell on his b.u.t.t,” Screenwriter Ma said softly. “This time, we’ll ask the male actor to reenact the scene. We’ll see how he reacts.”
“Sure.” Deng Xu nodded. Screenwriter Ma was brilliant.
Deng Xu’s a.s.sistant said nothing.
‘You two are really mean.’
So, the a.s.sistant called the male actor over and asked him to do the same scene again.
This time, the male actor was not scared at all. He did not even see a hint of murderous intent in Yuexi’s eyes.
Including the later parts of the lines, Yuexi’s performance was far worse than Jiang Xun’s.
The actor completely outshone Yuexi’s performance.
The actor’s confidence, which Jiang Xun had just hit, returned.
It turned out that it was not that he could not do it but that the acting partner was talented.
Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma were even more bored watching the scene unfold.
It was like having a king lobster seafood feast. After having tasted the greatest, they couldn’t even swallow steamed buns with pickled vegetables.
“That’s enough.” Deng Xu stopped them.
He really couldn’t watch anymore. He didn’t want to waste time.
“I think Bi Yuewu’s role is still unsuitable for you,” Deng Xu said. “We will inform you if there are any other suitable roles.”
What he meant was that Yuexi’s acting was not good enough. She couldn’t even get the role of the courtesan, Zhao Yue’er.
Yuexi went out and saw her a.s.sistant coming up to her. She said lividly, “Go away!”
She would ask Jiang Chengye to deal with this. The role of Bi Yuewu was still hers!
Initially, she wanted the role of Yu Hengjun.
But since Jiang Xun wanted to play Bi Yuewu, she would s.n.a.t.c.h the role of Bi Yuewu no matter what.
Jiang Xun didn’t care about Yuexi. Even if Yuexi was chosen, it didn’t matter if she was really in the same project as her.
She had never taken Yuexi seriously.
After leaving the audition venue, she headed straight to the airport and returned to campus.
Jiang Xun returned to the dormitory.
The city was very dusty. After just one day of absence, her desk was covered with a thin layer of dust.
When Jiang Xun tidied up her desk, she saw the invitation letter she had long forgotten about.
Jiang Xun took a photo and sent it to Mufeng. “I received this invitation letter. Did you ask someone to send it?”
However, she didn’t expect Mufeng to call her directly.
Jiang Xun didn’t know what was wrong with her either. She was inexplicably nervous when she answered Mufeng’s call.
She wouldn’t have felt like this in the past.
She picked up the call. “h.e.l.lo?”
“I didn’t ask anyone to send you the invitation.” Mufeng explained, “My second uncle and second aunt set up the foundation. It has nothing to do with the Qin family. Besides, they are not kind and are very sn.o.bbish. So I am skeptical about their purpose in sending you the invitation. “I suggest you don’t go, but it’s your decision.”
“There are many things about it to be praised,” Jiang Xun praised herself without hesitation.
Mufeng didn’t feel that anything was wrong when he heard that. He even agreed. “Yes.”
She was indeed without any shortcomings.
“…” Jiang Xun suddenly felt a little embarra.s.sed to continue speaking when he was so cooperative. “One of them is being very curious.”
Mufeng chuckled and heard Jiang Xun say, “I want to go and see what they’re up to.”
“Okay.” Mufeng nodded, “I have an important client to meet that night. I’ll try my best to rush over as soon as possible. “If they bullied you before I arrive, you don’t have to be nice to them. It doesn’t matter if you make a scene at the banquet. I’ll take care of the rest.”
No one had ever said such a thing to Jiang Xun.
Not in her two lifetimes.
She could stir trouble. Other things would be taken care of, so she didn’t have to worry about anything else.
