Chapter 114: Like a Concubine Seeking Favor
For the first time, Jiang Yunyao felt that the system came just in time, like timely rain.
Seeing that everyone was attracted by Mrs. Lin's story, she walked out from the crowd of old ladies and stood aside.

Jiang Yunyao looked at the scan results, which were almost the same as last time, and slowly typed a question mark.
{System, your bug hasn't been fixed yet? Or is there a new bug?}
The system didn't want the host to think it was a bug system, so it quickly explained.
{Please rest assured, the scanner has been completely repaired, and there is no problem with this scan result!}
{If the host has any questions, you can click the question mark to view the details!}
After it reminded her, Jiang Yunyao discovered that the question mark in the scan results was light gold like the text, and it seemed that it could be clicked to view.
She clicked on the question mark and a sentence popped up in front of her.
{A plot lock has been detected. Please trigger the plot first before viewing!}
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
How is this any different from playing an escape room, where you get the key through unconventional means, but in the end you can't get out because you haven't found all the clues?!
System: {Host, you can't say that! We provide thoughtful and considerate service, paying attention to every detail so that the host doesn't miss any information!}
Jiang Yunyao: {...Do you want me to rate your service?}
System: {Host! What do you think of me? How can I be the same as those software customer service representatives?!}
System: {No matter what, I have to wait until my mission progress is full!}
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
Jiang Yunyao chatted with the system for a while, and continued to think about the fact that "she and Old Lady Lin have similar eyebrows and eyes."
The system popped up to remind her when she was thinking of her mother.
In other words, maybe the key lies with her mother?
Jiang Yunyao secretly decided that after the second stop, she would go home to find out what happened!
The other elderly people in the nursing home, like Grandma Yuan, just thought that Jiang Yunyao and Grandma Lin were destined to be together and did not discuss it any further.
Only Sister Gui lay back in the rocking chair, fanning herself intermittently, lost in thought.
The guests accompanied Mrs. Lin to visit friends. There wasn't much they could do, except chat with the elderly, have a meal with them, and listen to their stories about their youth...
For most of the day, Jiang and Xie were unusually honest. At most, they told jokes to cheer the old man up, but they didn't do anything too abstract.
[Is this the suppression of seniority? Not daring to act rashly in front of someone who is definitely more senior?]
I feel like they're afraid of dancing too much and scaring the elderly.
[Jiang and Xie relied on their acting skills to create a more abstract and engaging performance. If someone with average acting skills had taken their place, it would have been incredibly awkward!]
[Hey, Jiang Liangliang's online army is praising their master again! They praise their acting skills. Jiang Liangliang is really shameless!]
[Blackie, please get out.]
[Guests, do you have any other tasks today? Can we fast-forward through this day? Life in a nursing home feels so dull and boring!]
[No, no, no, I want to use them as a study room! Sometimes when I feel tired from studying, I look at them and my mood brightens up!]
[@Happiness Signal official Weibo, you guys have also opened up a new track! ]
Upon seeing this, the staff behind the scenes of the program team, after obtaining the director's consent, immediately changed the name of the four guests' live broadcast room to "Study Room".
This action attracted some passers-by who were looking for a study room to enter, bringing more attention to the program team.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the guests had dinner with the elderly, said goodbye to Mrs. Lin, and returned to the apartment arranged by the program team.
The audition for the crew of "The Legend of Princess Yin and Yang" was at nine in the morning. Although City Z was not far from the capital, there was no guarantee that there would not be any accidents on the way.
Rather than risk missing your audition, go back a night early!
After the four of them discussed it, they boarded the plane back to Beijing.
The audition was held in Building H, and all the nearby hotels were fully booked. Fortunately, Xiaojia and Lin Wanwan's assistants had booked rooms in advance.
There were not enough rooms, so Xie Yixing and Lu Mucheng had to go back to their respective homes.
At night, after Jiang Yunyao washed up, she was about to read the script again before going to bed, but she heard a knock on the door.
Lin Wanwan came over with the script, feeling a little embarrassed. "Ayao, can you help me rehearse the script? I'm afraid I'm not well prepared."
In the room, Xiaojia, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa playing with her phone, stood up and ran to the door, "Sister Yunyao, let me go and keep Xiaoya company!"
Xiaoya is Lin Wanwan's assistant.
Jiang Yunyao noticed the earphones on Xiaojia's ears and knew that Xiaojia didn't play the music out loud because she was afraid of disturbing her. She didn't want to restrict her, so she agreed.
Lin Wanwan handed the script to Jiang Yunyao and asked her to film the content, and then the two began to rehearse the lines.
The role of Shangguan Wanyun is not difficult to interpret, but under the guidance of Lu Mucheng, Lin Wanwan added a few small movements that are in line with the character's personality, making the Shangguan she plays more vivid.
Jiang Yunyao praised, "Wanwan, you acted really well! If I were the director, I would definitely choose you!"
It's not that she deliberately praised Wanwan, but it was the truth.
Although Wanwan is not a professional, the fact that she can stand out from so many artists is definitely not just due to her good luck.
The character Shangguan has a unique growth line.
In the early stage of the plot, she adhered to the gentleman's way and expressed strong disagreement with the ambition of the heroine Xiao Hexuan, also known as Concubine Yin.
In the middle period, she changed her opinion of Concubine Yin, and in the later period, she was even willing to actively cooperate with Concubine Yin. However, from beginning to end, Shangguan was a person who followed the way of a gentleman.
This gentlemanly concept is contrary to Concubine Yin's desire for power, and is also the most difficult part for Shangguan to interpret in the early stage. If he fails to perform well here, Shangguan will become the person standing on the opposite side of Concubine Yin.
By stroking the chess pieces, Lin Wanwan downplayed the issue of her and Yin Fei's stance, and highlighted her deep disappointment in Yin Fei, who also loved playing chess.
Lin Wanwan was very humble in response to Jiang Yunyao's praise.
"Ayao, there are always people who are better than you. My level is just the passing line for others." Then, she changed the subject, "Ayao, how are your preparations for your scenes going? Let me practice with you."
After hearing her say this, Jiang Yunyao finally understood the purpose of her coming here tonight - to act with her!
"Wanwan, don't worry, I'm ready!"
Lin Wanwan's eyes softened, but she rolled up the script, looking like a teacher testing a student. "Then tell me, what kind of person is Shen Linglan?"
Jiang Yunyao had already prepared the answer to this question, but at this moment, she still wanted to go over Shen Linglan's character story again.
Chen Linglan, the daughter of the prime minister, the most talented woman in the capital, was a lady from a noble family who was carefully trained since childhood. Her every move was a role model for women of that dynasty, and she was praised by many scholars and talents.
As the male protagonist's only concubine, she was named Imperial Noble Consort by the male protagonist who had just ascended the throne at the beginning, and was in charge of the six palaces. As long as she gave birth to a child, she would become the queen.
Shen Linglan was determined to obtain the vacant position of queen, but the etiquette education she received since childhood made her dare not fully face her own desires and ambitions.
Etiquette constrained her behavior and made her particularly careful about her behavior and manners.
However, her inner desires and ambitions drove her to sow discord among the concubines, and she even took action herself to get rid of the heroine.
Shen Linglan possesses the complexity of a human being. Her behavior is that of a gentleman, but she also follows her inner desires and schemes against other concubines.
Jiang Yunyao spoke out her thoughts and added, “The script in my hand did not mention Shen Linglan’s childhood sweetheart, so I did not analyze the relationship between them.”
The characters' thoughts and feelings are closely linked to the plot. Without the support of the plot, it is impossible to talk about the inner qualities of the corresponding characters.
Lin Wanwan nodded, obviously agreeing with her.
Jiang Yunyao's acting skills are impeccable. As long as she understands the role well, she is not afraid of not playing the role well.
Lin Wanwan accompanied her to play Shen Linglan's role, and then prepared to go back.
Jiang Yunyao walked her to the door and said to her sincerely, "Wanwan, thank you."
"Ayao, don't thank me, I didn't do anything." Lin Wanwan curved her eyes and raised her hand to make a cheering gesture. "I hope we can both pass the audition tomorrow!"
Jiang Yunyao: "Yes! I will definitely pass!"
The two smiled at each other.
The next morning, Jiang Yunyao and Lin Wanwan had breakfast and arrived at the audition site half an hour early.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people standing in the hall, first-tier, second-tier, third-tier... famous and unknown people were all here!
The program crew found an open space, set up the camera, pointed it at Jiang Lin and the other person, and started today's filming.
On the other side, Xie Yixing went to Zhongxing to practice a new song, while Lu Mucheng was dealing with the accumulated documents at Lu Group.
There are three shots to watch in the live broadcast room. The audience can watch them at the same time or choose one shot to watch.
After Jiang Yunyao got the number from the assistant director, she greeted the people who gathered around her. It was not until most people had dispersed that she saw a few good friends.
He Yufei was wearing a blue, knee-length dress today. She walked towards Jiang Yunyao with her long wavy hair and sexy waist.
"When they saw you live streaming, all the previous clamor and excitement disappeared. Whether they were close friends or just average friends, they all came over to greet you enthusiastically like concubines seeking favor. I almost didn't get a turn!"
Jiang Yunyao knew that she was a straightforward person, so she teased her back.
"I'll always keep a place for you here. You can come over anytime you want to show me your favor!"
He Yufei glared at her with a charming look, "You are quite beautiful, you are enjoying the treatment of an emperor!"
At this time, the elegant Luo Lin and the lively and cheerful Yu Lele also came over.
Luo Lin smiled slightly and said, "We were just talking about you and you came."
Jiang Yunyao was curious, "What did you say about me?"
He Yufei said quickly, "Tell me which role you are auditioning for!"
Yu Lele also interjected, "Sister Luo Lin and I are auditioning for the third female role, Sister Yu Fei is auditioning for the fifth female role, Sister Yun Yao, which role are you planning to audition for?"
"Female second, Shen Linglan." Jiang Yunyao said, looking at Luo Lin puzzledly, "Why are you auditioning for female third? With your status, you are more suitable for female second!"
Luo Lin is now a top actress in China. She played the female lead in "The Story of the Miraculous Doctor". The two met and became friends through this drama.
"The Miracle Doctor" received good response after it was broadcast, and later became a TV series. However, due to some reasons, Luo Lin ultimately failed to win the Best Actress award for this drama.
Luo Lin was missing an award and could not audition for the female lead in "The Legend of Empress Dong the Great", but with her acting skills and qualifications, she was more than qualified for the female second role.
Luo Lin smiled generously, "I prefer the role of Shangguan."
Jiang Yunyao didn't know whether she really liked him or was just pretending. From her understanding of Luo Lin, she knew that this person had a weird personality. She would think A in her heart but say B with her mouth.
However, Lorraine had no shortage of roles to play. When she was in college, she had a boyfriend who was a rich second-generation man. He had been supporting her since her debut and invested a large sum of money in any drama she starred in.
Lorraine herself is also very hardworking. Every role she plays becomes a hit.
