Chapter 296: Why Was He Always So Forward About The Truth

This was the Lin Xuyan he wanted!

Haolun asked Jiang Xun to perform the same scene as Youlan. “It’s okay if you can’t remember the lines. Just give me a rough performance based on your interpretation of the script.”

Although the script was given to the actors, it was not decided whether they would act in it or not.

Therefore, even if she could not remember the lines, Haolun could understand.

Like Youlan also didn’t remember the lines.

He mainly depended on the actors’ understanding of the role and whether they could grasp Xuyan’s character.

Jiang Xun nodded. She didn’t say that she had memorized all the lines. Anyway, Haolun and Screenwriter Yu would know when she started performing.

Jiang Xun performed the first paragraph where she received the report card.

She chose the same corner as Youlan.

Haolun was a little surprised. That spot was indeed the most convenient place to move.

However, Youlan was experienced after all. It was not surprising that she found that spot at a glance.

Jiang Xun had only played two roles in total, and they were both supporting roles. However, she could accurately find the best position.

Initially, despite Zilong’s strong recommendation, Haolun still didn’t have much expectations for Jiang Xun’s performance.

But now, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.

The audition was a no-material performance.

Jiang Xun carried an invisible large basin and walked to a corner to squat.

Unlike Youlan, who had her legs together, Jiang Xun didn’t keep any image of herself as she spread her legs and squatted.

Youlan’s action of washing clothes was to clench her fists and rub them against each other.

Jiang Xun, on the other hand, held an invisible washboard on the basin and rubbed the clothes on the washboard.

Haolun was pleasantly surprised by such details.

Screenwriter Yu’s eyes lit up, and he lifted the glasses on his nose bridge with his index finger.

He was afraid that he would affect Jiang Xun’s performance, so he held back his voice.

He didn’t even dare to use his hand to gesture with Haolun, but he couldn’t help but reach out to grab Haolun’s arm, and he couldn’t help but use all his strength in excitement.

Haolun was speechless.

Can you let go?

It hurts!

While Jiang Xun was washing the clothes, she raised her hand and rubbed the back of her forehead against her hair, making it even messier. She looked more and more like someone who was working hard.

At that moment, Jiang Xun stood up and ran to the door. “Uncle, is there a letter for me? Lin Xuyan?”

Jiang Xun was silent for a moment. It the nonexistent postman’s turn to say his lines. She took the letter, opened the envelope, and took out the report card.

When she unfolded the report card, Jiang Xun’s hands were shaking, and her breathing was also shaking.

When she unfolded the report card, she paused for a second before looking up again. Her eyes were astonishingly bright when they left the report card.

She walked toward Haolun and Screenwriter Yu and excitedly handed the report card over. “Second brother! Dad!”

Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment before calling out, “Mom.”

“My… my results are out. 498 points! I passed Huaqiao University score threshold. I can go to Huaqiao University!” Jiang Xun said excitedly, then, she looked at her mother’s position in the air with some uncertainty. “I can go to Huaqiao University…”

Jiang Xun’s eyes revealed uncertainty about whether she could go to Huaqiao University. She also looked forward to being able to go to Huaqiao University, and relieved to be able to leave this suffocating home.

Haolun and Screenwriter Yu were both stunned.

They had seen quite a number of actors, and there were many who had good acting skills.

However, they had never seen anyone who could express three different emotions in their gaze like Jiang Xun.

Her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

How did she do it!

After Jiang Xun finished performing the first segment, she did not immediately perform the second segment.

Instead, she stopped to look at Haolun and Screenwriter Yu’s reactions.

However, the two of them were completely stunned. They didn’t even realize that Jiang Xun had finished her performance.

Jiang Xun waited for a while. Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, she could only say, “Director, Teacher Yu.”

After calling out twice, Haolun and Screenwriter Yu finally came back to their senses.

Haolun shook his head slightly, and his eyes lit up in surprise. “Jiang Xun, your eye acting is very good!”

He had already thought about it. When the time came, he would definitely give Jiang Xun an extra big payment, so that she could fully display her eye acting!

By now, Haolun had long forgotten about Youlan’s stereotypical acting skills.

Compared to Jiang Xun, Youlan’s acting skills even made him suspect what exactly had Youlan honed for her acting skills in the film industry for so many years.

Jiang Xun thought, how could it not be good?

She had used her intelligence to trick the system into giving her the skills to try out, and she had been practicing eye acting every day.

If it wasn’t good enough, it would be a waste of her intelligence and hard work.

The system: “…”

The system: “Host, I can hear your thoughts.”

Wasn’t the word ‘trick’ a little hurtful to the system?!

Jiang Xun: “Don’t mind the details!”

Screenwriter Yu was even more direct. There was no one else here anyway. Screenwriter Yu said to Haolun calmly, “Director Guo, you saw Jiang Xun’s performance. Looking at Su Youlan’s again, is what Su Youlan showed called acting skill?”

“Cough!” Haolun coughed dryly.

Why was Screenwriter Yu always so forward about the truth?

“Jiang Xun captured every single detail!” Screenwriter Yu said excitedly, “From the moment she washed the clothes, she had already entered the role. Moreover, every action of hers could only be displayed by someone who had actually done the work. Su Youlan had never done this since she was young, so how would she know how to act? Even if she was taught, it would still be different from what the actual thing.”

“From spreading her legs and using a washboard to wash the clothes, to using the back of her hand to wipe her forehead, her performance was amazing.” Screenwriter Yu did not forget that Jiang Xun had done this kind of work for several years!

“Also, when she received the report card and called her parents and second brother, although mother was placed last in the script, there was no indication of what kind of emotions she should display or what kind of pause she should have in the middle.”

“But what Jiang Xun understood was Lin Xuyan’s own state of mind!” Screenwriter Yu was so excited that he could not stop. “She placed mother last, which meant that she actually had a deep grudge against her mother in her heart, but she had no choice but to call her as well. After all, that was her mother! Moreover, she hesitated because she knew too well how little her mother’s feelings were for her. Her mother might not be happy for her if she gets into Huaqiao University.”

Screenwriter Yu looked at Jiang Xun excitedly with a hint of fanaticism in her eyes. “Jiang Xun, you’ve memorized all the lines!”

Jiang Xun nodded. “I like this role. Since I’m here to audition for it, I definitely have to understand the role thoroughly with my own interpretation. Even though my understanding might not be right, I can still remember the character’s lines by studying and reading them every day.”

“Director, take a look!” Screenwriter Yu became even more excited. “Jiang Xun is right! There’s not much content in the script that we’re distributing. If one really put their heart into this role and study it every day, how could they not remember so few lines? Jiang Xun remembered them! But Su Youlan didn’t remember them! It shows that Su Youlan didn’t put her heart into this character at all. She was just modeling for her performance. She might have only read the script on the way here.”
