Su Lingxin was liking a comment criticizing Qiao Ruoxi when she heard Jiang Xun calling her name.
She took a quick last look at the script. Fortunately, there were not many lines this time, and the mistakes in the reporting performance would surely not happen again.
Director Jiang chose for the two people the classic scene where the heroine Tang Qingqing returns home for the first time after marrying into the Ninth Prince's mansion, and fights wits and courage with the Tang family, making the Tang family lose face.
Su Lingxin walked in front of the live camera, took a deep breath, and began the performance.
The barrage of comments also began to roll.
"This little idiot acted really well. She had a kind of beauty that was like she was missing a brain stem. If I didn't know she was a student in the acting department, I would have thought she was really an idiot!"
"As a junior acting student, it's rare for her to have such acting skills. I think some new rising stars can't even compare to her."
"If she plays the leading female role, it doesn't seem unacceptable."
Among the many positive reviews, there are occasionally one or two comments from fans of the show.
"I'm not trying to find fault. My Tang Qingqing is just pretending to be stupid, she's not really stupid. It's so weird to act this silly!"
However, such comments were quickly suppressed.
When Su Lingxin was acting, she realized how difficult this role was to grasp.
She hypnotized herself into thinking she was a fool throughout the whole process and acted out the contents of the script. Surprisingly, the effect was better than she had imagined.
One of the assistant directors smiled and nodded to her, looking very satisfied. Su Lingxin clenched her fists excitedly.
After she stepped down from the stage, she immediately opened her phone and saw that almost all comments were praising her acting skills, which made her feel more confident.
It seems that the result of this audition is almost certain!
After watching Su Lingxin's performance, Jiang Xun had no expression on his face. After talking to the assistant director beside him for a few words, he pointed at Qiao Ruoxi.
"Miss Qiao, come here."
"Okay." Qiao Ruoxi responded, stood up from her seat and walked to the camera.
The moment the director hit the cue, Qiao Ruoxi seemed like a different person.
His behavior was childish, his voice was silly, his eyes were lowered, but the dark light in his eyes was like a leopard in the jungle, looking at the void in front of him, as if there was a burst of anger.
But in the next second, those eyes became so pure that no one could find any flaws.
The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the barrage of comments finally started rolling again.
"Oh my god, I actually understood this non-physical performance. What the sister said before was right. She was just pretending to be stupid, not really stupid. I was actually thrilled watching her performance."
"This is the Tang Qingqing in my mind. Even though she's pretending to be stupid, she's so cool when she's confronting people. I like her so much. Look at me, little sister. I can do it!!!"
"I take back what I just said. If Qiao wasn't in this drama, I would definitely not watch it. I'm definitely choosing B!"
Su Lingxin was stunned by the sudden change in the comments and Qiao Ruoxi's skyrocketing vote count.
How is that possible? She clearly played the fool more like Qiao Ruoxi!
Is this another shady deal?
Are they the water army hired by the Pei family and the Shen family, who came here specifically to speak for Qiao Ruoxi?
She glanced at the directors and saw that all of them were looking at Qiao Ruoxi. They nodded continuously, with approval in their eyes.
Jiang Xun's voice was very loud, and even though they were some distance apart, Su Lingxin could hear clearly what Jiang Xun said.
"I'm right, right? She's the perfect choice for the role of Tang Qingqing, and the audience's votes prove it! What else do you have to doubt?"
Everyone nodded and praised Jiang Xun for his good eye for talent.
At this moment, Su Lingxin was like a dazzling pearl that fell into the dust and disappeared without a sound.
No, she must not watch her light being obscured!
She stood up and asked loudly, "I obviously acted more like a fool than Qiao Ruoxi, why didn't anyone choose me?"
All the directors came back to their senses and looked at Su Lingxin.
One of the assistant directors smiled and said, "Ms. Su, your acting just now was actually quite good. As long as you watch more and learn more, I think you will soon be able to achieve great success in the acting field."
Su Lingxin persisted, "Have you all been bribed by Qiao Ruoxi? Just like the vote just now, if you don't give me a reason, I will call the police right now and accuse you of using online voting and false propaganda!"
The directors were stunned, and the netizens in the barrage were also shocked.
"This Miss Su is not very smart. She said we were bribed, but she didn't even look at how big the vote gap was. It's obviously not something that can be manipulated behind the scenes, okay?"
"That's right. I originally thought her acting was pretty good, and it was a shame she wasn't chosen. I didn't expect her to be such a mad dog, biting people without even getting to the bottom of the matter."
"Who wouldn't want to play the leading female role in Director Jiang's film? This isn't the first time she's used illegal means to compete. Just wait and see, Director Jiang will convince her."
As netizens said, Jiang Xun stood up with the script in his hand, walked up to Su Lingxin, and handed it to her: "I just gave you half an hour. Did you read the script carefully?"
Su Lingxin nodded guiltily.
Jiang Xun chuckled: "The script clearly describes the heroine's life experience and personality. I saw that you acted like this, so I didn't hire you. There is indeed nothing wrong with it."
"I won't let someone who can't even read the script carefully act in my play. I'll redraw the list I gave to your department head. You should focus on your senior year courses."
Su Lingxin was completely stunned this time. Director Jiang meant that if he didn't choose her for the leading role, he wouldn't choose her for the supporting role either?
She took the script from Director Jiang, flipped from the last page to the first, and finally found the life experience and character introduction of the heroine mentioned by Director Jiang on the second page.
She didn't even look at that page. She was busy reading the live broadcast comments and memorizing her lines.
She had always thought that the heroine had a head injury and was really stupid, but in the script, she was just pretending to be stupid...
How can you possibly act correctly if you misunderstand it?
Su Lingxin felt extremely aggrieved. She had only made a small mistake. If she had really started filming, how could she not understand the heroine's personality and experience, and how could she have made such a mistake.
If she knew that the heroine was pretending to be stupid, she would definitely act better than Qiao Ruoxi!
Su Lingxin watched Jiang Xun and Qiao Ruoxi discussing the signing of the contract, and a raging fire of jealousy burned in her heart. She came to Jiang Xun and cried with red eyes.
"Director Jiang, please give me one last chance. I promise I will perform better than Qiao Ruoxi just now!"
Jiang Xun's eyebrows were full of impatience: "I have just given you the opportunity, but you didn't seize it well."
Su Lingxin's eyes were red. She glanced at the live broadcast equipment, which was still lit. So she rushed to the live camera regardless of anything and started performing.
She believes that the power of capital is limited.
Even if she is defeated by capital today, she will contribute to the clean future of the entertainment industry and earn a hot search position on the list!
