Qiao Ruoxi threw the script on the table with a "bang".
Su Lingxin was startled and subconsciously took a step back: "You, what do you want to do?"
Qiao Ruoxi bent over, her eyes slanting into her temples, and her voice became heavy and subdued: "Have I ever taught you to think before you speak? Talking without thinking makes you look uneducated."
Su Lingxin was so overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura that she couldn't speak for a long time. It was only after a long time that she remembered to fight back and pointed at Qiao Ruoxi.
"Why should you teach me? Why should I listen to you?"
Qiao Ruoxi's face darkened: "Because I'm your mother."
Su Lingxin was stunned for a moment before she realized that Qiao Ruoxi was saying lines from the script.
The feeling of oppression just now was something she had never felt before. Could this be Qiao Ruoxi's true acting skills?
No, this is impossible. During the previous rehearsal, Qiao Ruoxi's acting skills were only average at best. It must have been a coincidence just now!
Just as Su Lingxin was thinking this, Qiao Ruoxi's cold voice came to her ears.
"I'll return exactly what you just said. Don't let someone like you who can't even remember your lines hold the whole group back."
Su Lingxin's pride lies in her acting skills. Qiao Ruoxi caught her weakness and her face flushed. "Who said I can't remember my lines? I can recite them by heart. You're a latecomer, what right do you have to criticize me?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled softly, "If I were you, I'd grab the script right now and memorize all the lines carefully."
Su Lingxin heard this as naked mockery, and her face turned pale in an instant: "Okay, today I will let you see what real acting is. Just wait for me!"
After saying that, Su Lingxin turned around and walked away.
Rui He shifted her position and rubbed against Qiao Ruoxi. "Student Lingxin always only memorizes her own lines, and only reads other people's lines once at most. The department head has also mentioned this problem to her. But Ruoxi, how did you see through it at first glance?"
Qiao Ruoxi picked up the script again and read through it quickly: "She had bad luck on the exam today and is prone to making stupid mistakes. I was just giving her a reminder."
Rui He's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ruoxi, can you tell fortunes? Then can you help me see if my performance report today will be a success?"
Qiao Ruoxi counted on her fingers and nodded: "It was very successful, and there were unexpected surprises."
Rui He smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "What a surprise? Could I get Director Jiang's autograph?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows: "Do you like this director so much?"
Rui He nodded, her eyes full of stars: "He is a director with both bottom line and ideas. He knows how to choose stories and how to tell good stories through the lens."
"For example, the new drama he's about to film is based on a novel called 'The Substitute Concubine: The Mysterious Ninth Prince's Extraordinary Love.' At the beginning, the heroine, seeking survival and revenge, plays mad and foolish, yet she exudes wisdom throughout. The hero dotes on her and flirts with her. The story is witty and interesting, with constant jokes. Even the villains are portrayed in an amusing way by the author."
"Especially the scenes with the protagonist's daughter, there are both funny and tearful moments. I have already imagined countless scenes adapted into scripts. If Director Jiang shoots it, it will definitely be very interesting!"
Rui He became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he opened the Tomato APP and recommended the novel to Qiao Ruoxi. Qiao Ruoxi read several chapters with great interest.
Su Lingxin was facing the makeup mirror, touching up her makeup over and over again.
She looked at herself in the mirror, smiled a self-satisfied smile, and tried to speak: "Thank you, Director Jiang, for your affirmation of me. I will definitely play your role seriously and not let you down!"

In the audience.
The department head came to Jiang Xun with a stack of scripts in his arms, smiling broadly. "Director Jiang, these are the scripts you requested for all the performances today."
Jiang Xun looked lazy under his fisherman's hat. He was sitting with his legs crossed and wearing flip-flops. When he took the stack of scripts, he said, "Thank you."
As he flipped through the script, he asked, "Are these all written by the students themselves?"
The department head pointed to the process sheet and introduced: "Most of them are scripts obtained from students majoring in drama, but there are also a few written by our students themselves, such as this script by Rui He."
Jiang Xun nodded and continued to read each script.
When he turned to Rui He's script, his movements slowed down noticeably, and he even took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"This script is quite interesting. Each character has their own highlight moment. It's more spiritual than those written by professional scriptwriters. Bring her to meet me later."
The department head widened her eyes in surprise. She had thought that Su Lingxin would be the first person to catch Director Jiang's eye, but she didn't expect it to be Rui He.
So, he struck while the iron was hot: "Director Jiang, the performance level of the students in this group is also very high, especially this student Su Lingxin. She has ranked first in her professional courses for three consecutive years and is recognized by the teachers as a promising talent."
Jiang Xun nodded: "Well, I like this script, and I am looking forward to the performance of everyone in this play."
The department head was secretly surprised. Rui He had already caught Jiang Xun's eye, and there was no need to worry about Su Lingxin's acting skills. Gao Shuyang had outstanding looks and stable acting skills, so there was naturally no need to worry. Luo Yubai had taken drama courses abroad, so she didn't have to worry either.
The only thing that worried her was Qiao Ruoxi.
The department head prayed secretly. She didn't require Qiao Ruoxi to have good acting skills, as long as she didn't drag the whole group down and affect the performance of other students.
Jiang Xun fumbled for a long time and finally took out the lighter from his trouser pocket.
The department head looked up and happened to see this scene.
Smoking is prohibited in the theater, but she was worried that stopping Jiang Xun would upset his mood and affect the future of her classmates.
The hand that was originally stretched out to stop him stopped abruptly.
With a "pop", the fire in Jiang Xun's hand had just been lit when the lighter disappeared from his hand.
"Who is so annoying?"
Jiang Xun was displeased when his lighter was taken away. He turned around and met a pair of deep and dark phoenix eyes.
Jiang Xun was shocked and pulled his fisherman's hat off his head. "Oh my god, Yaozhou? Did that gust of wind bring you here?"
Pei Yaozhou threw the lighter and it flew in a parabola.
Jiang Xun immediately became anxious and reached out to catch it, but the parabola fell steadily into a large trash can in the distance.
"My lighter is very expensive. Are you trying to pick on me?" Jiang Xun looked sad.
Pei Yaozhou pointed at the "No Smoking" poster on the wall and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Now that you've become a famous director, your eyesight isn't as good as it used to be?"
Jiang Xun suddenly felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "It's a professional habit. I really shouldn't smoke it. Just throw it away."
"What are you doing here?" Pei Yaozhou raised his eyes, "Are you attracted to another schoolgirl?"
As if some switch had been triggered, Jiang Xun slapped Pei Yaozhou's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! If my wife hears about it, I'll never let you go!"
