Chapter 23
The second day's live broadcast will definitely be cancelled due to the major incident involving Ye Sisi, but Jiang Xueru and the other guests will still be broadcast as usual.
However, today Jiang Xueru's live stream is now being broadcast by two people.
Gu Qingyue acted strangely yesterday, and this morning she left home quickly after saying she had work to do.
The production team garnered enough viewership yesterday, so they're not planning to pull any more tricks today.
Jiang Xueru also happened to have work to do.
After breakfast, Yu Ling brought Jiang Xueru the final script of "Hello, Mom".
The production team has scheduled auditions for this weekend, and the final choice will be between Jiang Xueru and Ye Sisi.
Jiang Xueru had a script before, but it wasn't complete. This time, the script is very complete.
The script was very long, and it took her three hours to slowly read it through.
"Hello, Mom" is a great story, something Jiang Xueru knew when she first came into contact with the production team.
Director Chen is a well-known top director in the industry. Jiang Xueru's debut film, which won her the Best Actress award, was also directed by Director Chen. Director Chen has always been extremely strict, and the screenwriter is also a top screenwriter in the industry. The crew of this film can only be described as luxurious.
Jiang Xueru was very optimistic about this drama, which is why she wanted to take the role from the beginning. However, after reading the complete script, she was surprised by how excellent the work was.
Just like its name suggests, the main storyline of the movie revolves around the bond between a mother and daughter.
However, this film is not as artistic as typical family-themed movies; in some ways, it is more like a commercial film, but it is also a commercial film with a very strong core message.
The story begins with the protagonist, Song Yun, a happy expectant mother with a loving husband and nine months of pregnancy. However, her bright future is shattered on the day she goes to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
On her way to the hospital, Song Yun was involved in a car accident. She was rushed to the hospital and her nine-month-old baby was saved, but she died from excessive blood loss.
If it were included in the main movie, the female lead would probably die within the first three minutes.
But this is when the story truly begins.
After Song Yun died, she became a wandering ghost. Because the underworld was short of people, the queue for reincarnation was already twenty years in advance. So, those who still had attachment to the human world could stay in the human world as long as they followed the order.
What Song Yun couldn't let go of the most was her daughter, whom she hadn't had a chance to see. So, during her time on Earth, she visited her daughter, Si Yun, every day.
I've been watching her like this for over ten years, watching Xiao Siyun grow from a tiny baby who couldn't even crawl to a fifteen-year-old high school student.
The unexpected happened at this time.
When the ghost messengers were capturing evil spirits, Siyun was caught in the process and her soul left her body. After Song Yun helped Siyun's soul return to her body, Siyun, now a human, gained an additional ability—
She can actually see ghosts!
As the first ghost Siyun saw, Song Yun naturally became Siyun's friend unilaterally.
Siyun grew up without a mother. Although her father treated her very well, she was always called "a child without a mother" by her peers. Despite always pretending not to care, it was still a painful wound that she had suffered since childhood.
So the movie's plot revolves around the hilarious yet touching stories that unfold between Song Yun, the "ghost mother," and Si Yun, the rebellious high school student.
The absurdities are like Siyun liking a boy and asking Song Yun for help, or Siyun helping Song Yun fulfill some of her extremely outrageous wishes.
There are many touching stories, such as the mother-daughter relationship between Siyun and Songyun, the love story between Songyun and her childhood sweetheart husband, and the mother-daughter relationship between Songyun and Songyun's mother, which was repaired by Siyun.
In the very end, Song Yun fulfilled all her wishes and bid a proper farewell to everyone she loved and everyone who loved her.
After reading the entire script, Jiang Xueru's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
If she had seen this script in the past, she would have systematically listed out what was good and what was bad, and why, and then thought about how she should act it well.
But now, what moves her more than the logical thinking is the emotion contained within it.
I don't know when it started, but her poorly developed emotional cells have overcome her rational thinking.
Jiang Xueru was so immersed in this atmosphere that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
On the other side, Qiuqiu, who had spent most of the day playing with Yu Ling, who was on vacation, also noticed Jiang Xueru's condition.
Jiang Xueru was immersed in it for too long, and no matter what, it must have taken a lot of mental and physical effort.
Qiuqiu immediately abandoned Aunt Yu and ran over with her short legs to hug the dazed Jiang Xueru.
Jiang Xueru then snapped out of character.
Qiuqiu tugged at Jiang Xueru's hand: "Mom, are you done with your work? Can you play with Qiuqiu?"
Qiuqiu usually doesn't bother Jiang Xueru when she's working, and she understands that Qiuqiu is afraid that she'll get too into character.
An immersive actress like her is indeed not suited to spending too much time in the role. Anyway, she has already read the script and has gained a lot of insights.
Jiang Xueru replied, "I'm all done with work. What does Qiuqiu want to play?"
Qiuqiu immediately dragged her to the TV.
Yu Ling: "You've been watching cartoons all morning, do you want to watch more?"
Qiuqiu raised her head: "Qiuqiu doesn't watch cartoons, Qiuqiu wants to watch Mommy's movies!"
Qiuqiu had always known that Jiang Xueru was an excellent actress, but she had never seen her in person. She only remembered this when she saw how deeply Jiang Xueru was immersed in her role.
Yu Ling laughed nonstop after hearing this: "Oh my, I didn't expect that our Qiuqiu is a little fan of our Jiang Jiang?"
Qiuqiu quickly shook her head, "I'm not a little fan, Qiuqiu is the biggest, biggest fan!"
The live stream was also running at this time.
In the past few hours, Jiang Xueru was engrossed in reading the script without moving, so everyone's attention turned to Qiuqiu, and the comments section was filled with people interacting with Qiuqiu.
When the topic turned to watching Jiang Xueru's work, the live stream immediately became lively.
Watch "The Peerless Swordsman"! Liu Mo is forever a god!
[Liu Mo, whose charm makes your heart flutter every time you see him!]
[Why is everyone talking about Liu Mo? I liked Jiang Xueru after watching "Super Cute". Do you have any other recommendations?]
[Jiang Jiang's last drama was also very good, but many people might not like it because of the subject matter.]
[After so many years in the industry, her only notable work is her debut. Everyone knows that Jiang Xueru's acting skills are far inferior to what they used to be.]
[You haters are so persistent, haven't you had enough of being proven wrong yet?]
Jiang Xueru also picked out a bunch of works for Qiuqiu to choose from.
Qiuqiu was dazzled by the choices and asked Jiang Xueru, "Mom, I'll watch whichever one you like the most!"
Jiang Xueru thought for a moment, "I like them both."
She has poured her heart and soul into every role she has played over the years, and regardless of the quality of the work, she is satisfied with every single one of her characters.
Qiuqiu glanced around and finally picked the one with the best-looking cover poster.
Isn't this that Mary Sue/domineering CEO drama, the one where the female lead is such a saint?
I've seen reviews on BBC (Bilibili is a Chinese video sharing website), and this show seems to have a very low rating and isn't popular. The most talked-about aspect is probably the reviews on BBC.
[Do we really want to see this kind of embarrassing past? I remember Bilibili was criticizing Jiang Xueru's acting in it.]
Qiuqiu watched this because of her looks, and the viewers in the live stream were also excited to see just how bad Jiang Xueru's acting skills were, as rumored.
After watching a few episodes, everyone began to doubt their own eyes.
Who says Jiang Xueru's acting is bad?
Laugh when you're supposed to laugh, cry when you're supposed to cry—it's incredibly expressive!
The changes in her expression after arguing with the male lead were so subtle!
With all these ridiculous actions of the female lead, if anyone else had played the role, they would have been incredibly annoying!
However, Jiang Xueru turned the tide and saved the character with her acting skills, turning the naive and innocent saint into a pure-hearted angel. Is that what you call bad acting?
When the live streamer fell into deep thought, Qiuqiu decisively changed the disc.
The reason is simple: the male lead in this drama is too ugly and not good enough for Jiang Xueru at all!
The second movie Qiuqiu chose was an anti-Japanese war film. The male lead in this one was much more decent-looking, but the script was even more illogical.
However, this more exciting plot made Jiang Xueru's acting skills stand out even more.
The previous film was mostly filled with heartwarming scenes, but the passionate scenes in this one were also performed exceptionally well!
So who exactly is spreading the brainwashing narrative that Jiang Xueru's acting skills are getting worse and worse?
Have those who say her acting is bad actually watched the show?!
These questions quickly occupied the minds of many viewers in front of the screen.
But the reason is actually quite simple.
During Jiang Xueru's low point, the roles she could get were limited to very small-budget productions.
It's the kind of movie that hardly anyone would watch.
Moreover, these dramas did indeed have significant problems with their scripts, which she couldn't compensate for with her acting skills alone. In addition, due to some man-made factors during that period, Jiang Xueru was plagued by a series of negative rumors.
So hardly anyone noticed the effort Jiang Xueru put into these roles.
If Qiuqiu hadn't suddenly come up with the idea of a film screening today, Jiang Xueru's hard work might have remained buried for a very long time, perhaps only to be discovered after she proved herself once again.
Jiang Xueru didn't care; as long as she was satisfied, that was enough.
But netizens weren't having it!
While Qiuqiu was still engrossed in watching Jiang Xueru tear apart Japanese soldiers, Jiang Xueru's newly acquired fans started contacting the Bilibili up-master who had previously mindlessly criticized Jiang Xueru's acting skills.
You call this bad acting?
They must be watching TV with pig eyes!
Did you use a pig's brain to write this copy?!
You used pig's trotters to make the video, didn't you?
Sorry for insulting pigs, but they don't even qualify as pigs!
Most of these吐槽 videos are actually just copycats, while the ones that spearheaded them were paid to do so.
No matter what, we are in the wrong.
The campaign was massive, but those videos were all released several years ago. Faced with such a long-awaited attack, all they had to do was play dead.
Until someone spoke up—
@WatchingDrama: "I used to criticize Jiang Jiang because I was paid, but I've now become a fan and am actively repenting. The money has been refunded and the videos have been taken down. I can't tolerate people criticizing my wife! I'll curse myself a hundred times first!"
This statement further confirms that the smear campaign against Jiang Xueru was deliberately orchestrated.
Soon, some content creators who had previously pretended to be dead but still had a conscience also started to take action.
As a result, Ye Sisi also received many refunds, as well as warnings such as "You idiot, stop badmouthing my wife."
Ye Sisi: ?
You're the idiot! That's Gu Qingyue's wife!
By the time the matter was reported to Yu Ling, the public opinion had completely shifted to "Jiang Xueru's acting skills have clearly been improving," "Jiang Xueru has been unfairly targeted by mindless attacks over the years," "Who the hell is targeting Jiang Jiang like this?" "I feel sorry for Jiang Xueru," and so on...
Jiang Xueru and Yu Ling were both very surprised.
These negative rumors about her are deeply ingrained and cannot be easily erased; their original plan was to proceed gradually.
If you're criticized for your acting skills, just make some good films to prove yourself.
As a result, the rumors have been debunked before the drama has even started filming.
Jiang Xueru glanced at Qiuqiu, who was engrossed in tearing apart Japanese soldiers, and smiled.
It seems that everything has become much smoother since I met Qiuqiu.
It was like meeting a lucky star.
