Jiang Si has an excellent memory; saying she can remember everything she sees is not an arrogance.
She memorized the lines after only a glance.
Just then, Xiang Zhiyi spoke up, "How about I act alongside Teacher Jiang?"
Jiang Si glanced at Xiang Zhiyi with a half-smile. She understood what Xiang Zhiyi meant: she wanted to use her acting skills to overwhelm her in front of the director and other people with decision-making power, making her feel ashamed in front of them.
Unfortunately, her wishful thinking may be in vain.
Having confidence is a good thing, but being arrogant is not.
Jiang Si might not be able to portray Xiang Zhiyi as well as other actresses, but as Yu Zhong said, this role seems tailor-made for her.
As a respected master, Master Jiang could command people to grovel at her feet simply by standing there if she so desired.
Even a fool could see the undercurrents running through this.
But Director Zheng knew the entertainment industry well; a naive young woman couldn't survive alone, so he agreed.
It doesn't really matter whether it's on the left or right.
The others were also shrewd and unwilling to offend the Li family, which Xiang Zhiyi was carrying, for the sake of a new actor. Everyone knew that the second young master of the Li family loved Xiang Zhiyi to the core.
Only Guan Qingchen frowned slightly.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your guidance, Teacher Xiang."
After Xiang Zhiyi came down, Jiang Si took a few steps back and stood behind him. Her eyes changed in the blink of an eye.
His eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy, yet seemed to hold a thousand kinds of pity.
Others, having been in the industry for many years, could tell whether someone else was a good actor or not, even if they themselves couldn't act. They were taken aback; this Jiang Si was quite interesting.
Just standing there, he gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
He couldn't help but sit up straight.
Xiang Zhiyi was also surprised; Jiang Si seemed to have changed even more in the time they hadn't seen each other.
She dared not be careless and could not help but concentrate.
She doesn't have many lines in this scene; it's a confrontation between her as an apprentice and her master, who is suspected of betraying her.
"Master, why did you do this?" Xiang Zhiyi asked, her face showing no tears, yet conveying a profound sorrow and bewilderment.
To be fair, the performance was quite good.
It's just that the performance is too overt, like you're trying too hard to tell me how sad I am.
"Why?" Jiang Si couldn't help but sneer as she approached Xiang Zhiyi step by step. She was slightly taller than Xiang Zhiyi, and when she walked over, she had a rather condescending air about her: "From what stand are you questioning me?"
At this moment, Jiang Si seemed to be a supreme god.
Xiang Zhiyi unconsciously stepped back, completely stunned, unable to utter a single word.
After saying that, Jiang Si took a step back and looked at Xiang Zhiyi with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "My good disciple, you are compassionate, but you have not mastered the way of compassion."
"I..." Xiang Zhiyi spoke again, her short voice tinged with panic, disrupting the rhythm of her entire performance.
She couldn't keep up with Jiang Si's acting.
Jiang Si spoke again, and whether it was an illusion or not, the voice seemed to come from ancient times, even though it was clearly nearby.
“All Buddhas and Tathagatas take great compassion as their essence. They arise great compassion because of sentient beings, and from great compassion arise the Bodhicitta. From the Bodhicitta, they attain perfect enlightenment.”
"You only love the person in front of you, but you don't see the suffering of all living beings. If you save him this time, but then cause harm to the people in the future, what crime will you commit?"
When Jiang Si asked this question, she showed neither sadness nor joy, yet it inexplicably made me feel sad.
She turned around, hands behind her back, and happened to walk into a shady spot in the room, her voice hoarse: "Go, go back and reflect on your mistakes."
Jiang Si's back was straight, yet there was an invisible sense of loneliness, as if she had stepped into darkness.
The entire room was completely silent.
After a moment, Director Zheng came to his senses and said with a hint of delight, "Good, Miss Jiang's performance was excellent. Go back and wait for our notification."
Guan Qingchen also said, unusually, "Not bad."
With Director Zheng and Guan Qingchen both praising her, everyone present knew that the role was probably perfect for Jiang Si.
Although everyone else has the right to vote, Director Zheng still takes the lead.
Indeed, of all the actresses who have auditioned so far, only Jiang Si has truly captured the essence of the character.
Xiang Zhiyi was so angry she almost vomited blood, and she could barely maintain a basic smile. Among the younger generation, Jiang Si was the first person to make her lose her composure.
Jiang Si dispelled her imposing aura and smiled sweetly, "Teacher Xiang, please give me your guidance."
This was practically like kicking Xiang Zhiyi in the chest several times over.
"I look forward to working with Professor Jiang in the future." Xiang Zhiyi said with a forced smile.
"Maybe," Jiang Si said ambiguously.
As she spoke, her eyes flickered, and she looked out the window.
For a peaceful environment, the production team chose a resort hotel, which is not located in the city center.
Behind the hotel is a large, lush forest.
They were on a low floor, only the fifth floor.
On the other side is a floor-to-ceiling window, which was not closed for ventilation; the curtains were only half drawn.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the curtains to flutter slightly.
Beneath the pale yellow curtains, there was an unusual touch of golden yellow.
Those tiny, golden eyes, no bigger than a grain of rice, seemed to hold a hint of scrutiny.
Jiang Si's gaze met its.
As they exchanged glances, Jiang Si took a small step back to show her that she didn't intend to get involved.
Snakes are truly exceptionally vengeful creatures.
Han Yunluo, being one of only two unscientific individuals present, naturally noticed it as well.
She glanced at Jiang Si, her eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Si thought to herself, "It's not easy. I was acting so hard just now, but you didn't really look at me. Now that there's a dangerous creature, you've finally spared some attention for me. You're no longer acting like a lovesick girl who just clings to your sweetheart."
Guan Yunqing had felt something was off since earlier. He felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees since Jiang Si entered the room.
As an actor, he understands the changes in people's eyes best.
Jiang Si glanced at him just now, but he was certain that she wasn't looking at him.
Rather, it was somewhere around him.
He glanced around discreetly, but there was no one there.
What is she looking at?
Jiang Si: ...
That's quite a keen sense of things?
Just then, a small golden snake darted out with an eerie speed, bit Xiang Zhiyi's hand, hissed triumphantly, and then climbed down from the balcony and quickly disappeared outside the window.
Jiang Si thought it was quite cute.
The whole process was incredibly smooth and fast, leaving no time to react.
Xiang Zhi stared at the bloody hole in his hand for two seconds, then shouted.
No one expected this to happen. By the time they realized what was happening, chaos had broken out. Who knew if the snake was highly venomous?
They didn't even see what the snake looked like.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
"Doctor! Call a doctor right away!"
