The department head nodded approvingly, "Professor Jiang, did you see how well Su Lingxin controls her emotions?"
Jiang Xun frowned: "From what I've seen in this script, the emotions build up little by little, rather than bursting out all at once."
The department head was stunned for a moment. She had only read the classmates' scripts a few times and didn't remember the specific content very clearly.
At this time, Qiao Ruoxi on the opposite side also spoke.
"Why should I say that to him? Just because I'm your mother!"
Qiao Ruoxi frowned slightly, her voice sounded flat, but her expression was very arrogant, portraying the image of an extremely controlling mother to the fullest.
"If I hadn't been so fussy about those trivial matters in the backyard, your father would have brought back countless women and fathered countless children. Would you still be able to live comfortably as a glamorous young lady?"
"You say being poor doesn't matter, but let me ask you, getting married, having children, and living life—which of these things doesn't require money? Can your so-called love and ideals actually be turned into bread?"
Qiao Ruoxi's voice became louder and louder as she walked step by step to Su Lingxin. When she finished her last sentence, her aura as a mother exploded and she stared at Su Lingxin with burning eyes.
Su Lingxin looked at Qiao Ruoxi, and somehow, the other person's face turned into her mother's face in an instant.
The scene that day when her mother had a heart-to-heart talk with her and scolded her for having other thoughts about Qin Shi and asked her to give up this ridiculous unrequited love suddenly emerged in her mind.
The suppression of her blood made her speechless for a long time.
Jiang Xun chuckled: "I was suppressed."
The department head was also stunned. How could Su Lingxin be overshadowed by Qiao Ruoxi?
No, it’s because Qiao Ruoxi’s acting is too good!
An eighteen-year-old girl was able to portray her mother in her fifties so vividly. Even the young actresses who have already debuted may not be able to do that!
This acting is so explosive!
Just when everyone thought something was about to go wrong, Qiao Ruoxi suddenly spoke up, "Alright, listen to mom and stop associating with him. The so-called righteousness of family and country is not just talk. Are you really willing to give up everything you have, even your own life?"
Su Lingxin had actually realized just now that she was being overshadowed. She wanted to continue with her lines, but her mind went blank for a moment and she couldn't remember a single word.
Until I heard the additional lines added by Qiao Ruoxi.
Is Qiao Ruoxi reminding her and buying her some time?
No, that's absolutely impossible. They are competitors, even love rivals. How could Qiao Ruoxi help her!
"If it's for justice, for the well-being of future generations, I'm willing to give up everything I have now, even my life!"
Su Lingxin finally remembered and continued with her lines.
The play continued.
The department head breathed a sigh of relief, as nothing serious happened.
Jiang Xun laughed: "Interesting, very interesting!"
The twelve-act play ended and everyone came on stage to take their bows.
The flaws outweighed the merits, and thunderous applause broke out in the arena. Jiang Xun also applauded seriously for the first time.
"What's the name of this girl who added her own scenes and changed the script?" Jiang Xun asked, pointing at the stage.
Upon hearing what Jiang Xun said, the department head felt very sorry.
It is rumored that Director Jiang Xun hates actors adding scenes without permission. It seems that even if Qiao Ruoxi performs well this time, she will definitely be eliminated.
Before the department head spoke, Pei Yaozhou spoke first.
"If you want my wife to play the third female role in your new drama, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. You can't afford her with her worth." Pei Yaozhou supported his chin and spoke slowly.
When Jiang Xun heard this, he jumped up and said, "Fuck, that's your wife?"
Pei Yaozhou raised his thin lips: "Envy?"
Jiang Xun sat down again with a plop, and put his arm around Pei Yaozhou's shoulders: "Brother, where did you pick up this treasure? I take back what I just said. She was wronged for the third female role. How about letting her audition for the first female role?"
"Any more auditions?" Pei Yaozhou raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Xun coughed lightly and said, "This heroine is quite difficult to play. I have seen her domineering side, which is fine, but the early part of pretending to be stupid is the most challenging part for acting. I have to try this scene. You have to understand me."
The department head was shocked again.
Finally, when the two of them had a break from chatting, he whispered, "Director Jiang, isn't it rumored that you hate actors adding scenes without permission?"
"People outside say that Mr. Pei eats children." Director Jiang smiled and pointed at Pei Yaozhou.
"This rumor is spreading and spreading. What I hate is not the actors adding scenes, but the actors adding scenes maliciously to show off themselves."
"If sister-in-law hadn't added that scene, your top student might never have remembered his lines. She's saving the day."
The department head nodded thoughtfully, feeling ecstatic at the same time.
If Qiao Ruoxi could play the leading role in Director Jiang's first play, it would be an unprecedented honor in the whole school!
*
After getting off the stage, Su Lingxin rushed to Qiao Ruoxi in a rage.
"Qiao Ruoxi, how shameless of you to change the play without permission just to highlight yourself! If I hadn't reacted quickly, our performance report today would have been ruined by you!"
When the people around heard Su Lingxin's words, they all gathered around and pointed at Qiao Ruoxi.
The performers had to stay backstage, so no one knew what was happening on the stage. They only knew that Director Jiang was selecting the performers, and that they were not only classmates but also competitors.
Malicious competition will naturally lead to exclusion.
