Chapter 147: Is He Scared By Jiang Xun?

“Okay.” Jiang Xun left with her.

Yuexi stared blankly at Jiang Xun’s back. Then, finally, she turned around and said to her a.s.sistant, “She… she is a teacher? She simply answered to that?!”

Jiang Xun changed into her costume and styled herself. Then, she went to take a cast photo.

When Jiang Xun was done, her turn to audition came.

“Director Deng, Screenwriter Ma,” Jiang Xun greeted her as she entered the room.

Deng Xu smiled and said, “Relax, don’t be nervous. There’s no problem with your martial arts skills. You don’t even have to partic.i.p.ate in intensive training. Today, we’re mainly trying out the literary scene.”

“Try this part.” Deng Xu opened the script. “As Bi Yuewu, you just carried out an order from the organization and killed more than ten members of the owner’s family. Before you could retreat, the male protagonist rushed over and saw you standing among the corpses on the ground. The male protagonist already knew that you were the teacher of the day. You didn’t plan to hide. Instead, you took off your mask and got into a fight after being questioned by the male protagonist. In the end, you let yourself die, killed by the male protagonist’s sword.”

“Just this part. Try it,” Deng Xu said.

“Okay.”

“Do you need someone to help you set up a scene?” Screenwriter Ma asked.

“That would be great,” Jiang Xun immediately agreed.

It was best to have someone set up a scene at times like this.

There was no shortage of actors today. Deng Xu asked his a.s.sistant to find an actor who was waiting for an audition.

Not long after, an actor came over.

The actor was thrilled. Finally, he could get another chance to perform. Showing his face before the director was an advantage to him.

The male actor took the script and familiarized himself with the lines.

Even if it was just to help Jiang Xun audition, to express himself, he had to try his best to figure out something for the role in a short time.

Deng Xu saw that Jiang Xun was empty-handed. “Jiang Xun, don’t you need to read the script?”

“No.” Jiang Xun found a good spot in the middle and stood still. “I’ve already memorized the lines.”

Screenwriter Ma couldn’t help but nod. She whispered to Deng Xu, “Director, other things considered, Jiang Xun’s att.i.tude alone is better than many people.”

Deng Xu nodded. “Att.i.tude is the most important thing. Acting can be trained. As long as you’re willing to act before the camera, you’ve already on the way to success.”

“Let’s begin,” Deng Xu said.

Jiang Xun recalled what the script had said. Bi Yuewu had just killed someone, and the murderous intent in her eyes hadn’t dissipated.

This was too easy for Jiang Xun. She thought about the zombies lying on the ground with their heads cut off and how she felt when facing zombies.

Murderous intent instantly filled her eyes.

She heard the male lead rushing over and calling out to her, “Bi Yuewu!”

Jiang Xun turned around. Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma only saw the remnant of murderous intent in Jiang Xun’s eyes. They turned cold at the same time.

It was as if a murderous maniac had appeared.

Jiang Xun’s murderous gaze landed on the male actor.

“Plop!”

When everyone realized what was happening, the male actor had fallen on his b.u.t.t. His legs were so weak that he could not stand up.

Jiang Xun shook away her murderous gaze. She was confused. “What happened to you?”

Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma rushed over. They were afraid that the male actor was not feeling well.

The male actor wanted to cry, but no tears came. “I’m fine…”

“Then, why did you suddenly collapse?” Deng Xu was still worried.

The male actor was upset. Could he admit that he was scared by Jiang Xun?

She looked like she wanted to kill him.

Faced with Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma’s questioning, the male actor wiped his face and said, “Jiang Xun’s gaze was too scary. I felt like I was facing an a.s.sa.s.sin.”

Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma looked at each other. It turned out that the two of them didn’t have the wrong feeling just now.

It was indeed because of the murderous intent in Jiang Xun’s gaze that both of them shivered simultaneously.

“Ahem, then let’s go through this part first.” Deng Xu cleared his throat awkwardly.

It was just a flash of Jiang Xun’s peripheral vision. Both he and Screenwriter Ma were shocked. It was no wonder that the male actor couldn’t be blamed.

“Let’s start with the male lead questioning Bi Yuewu.” Deng Xu helped the male actor up. “Can you stand up now?”

The male actor wanted to cry but had no tears. Did he leave a weak impression on the director?

To prove himself, the male actor stood up. Even though his legs were still a little weak and trembling, he could not fall again.

Deng Xu and Screenwriter Ma went back to their seats.

“Okay, let’s start from the literary scene after seeing Bi Yuewu,” Deng Xu said. “Action!”

“Bi Yuewu, or should I call you Jiang Mingyue?” The male actor laughed sarcastically.

Jiang Xun’s fingers trembled slightly. She slowly took off her mask, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She looked like she wanted to laugh, but it also seemed like he wanted to cry. In the end, he maintained a cold expression. “You already know.”

“Among the people you killed were even students from your school. You looked at their innocent faces during the day and killed them at night. How could you kill them? !” The actor’s eyes were red as he gradually roared in anger.

“At first, I couldn’t bear killing them.” Jiang Xun’s soul seemed to have left her body, and then she laughed hysterically. “But after killing many people, I got used to it.

“It’s like…” Jiang Xun raised her hand and gestured. “It’s like killing a little piglet. Some didn’t even have time to scream before they died, so I didn’t even have time to think too much about it.”

“You hate me. You hate me.” Jiang Xun looked at the actor. “It’s written in your eyes.”

“Yes,” the actor admitted without hiding it.

“Hahahahaha!” Jiang Xun raised her head and laughed, but her laughter slowly faded. “Why do you think I’m disgusting? These people’s lives are theirs. Is my life not mine?

“If I want to live, then they must die! Do I have to sacrifice my life for these people I’ve never met?” Jiang Xun lowered her head. She glanced at the corpses on the ground in disgust. “But even if I died not killing them, someone will still come to kill them.”

Jiang Xun leaned forward toward the male actor, his fingertips pressing against his heart. “Then, I would have died in vain!”

“You earn your own life.” Jiang Xun spread out her hands. “In this world, human lives are never worth anything. So I earned my life along the way. When I was young, I almost died. But I earned my life! So I live.

“They died because they didn’t know how to fight for their lives. They didn’t even fight for their lives, and now you’re blaming me?”

“Cut!” Deng Xu shouted.

Jiang Xun immediately got out of character.

On the other hand, the male actor in front of him couldn’t react for a moment and was still stunned on the spot.

After a few seconds, the male actor returned to his senses and blurted out, “Have you never acted before? Have you never learned how to act?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Xun nodded and asked in confusion, “Why?”

The actor smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You’ve never learned how to act, but you can act so well. It makes me wonder if I’m suitable for this line of work.”
