BXBX NOVEL Chapter 612 - 612 Did Jiang Xun Only Use 30% Of Her Acting Skills?
Zhaodi said, “Jiang Xun, you’re making me look like a drama queen. It’s like I’m suppressing you two. I just feel that my allocation just now is more reasonable. And there are some scenes that the two of you can’t grasp, that’s why I said I wanted to change it. If the two of you could grasp it, why would I need to do such a thankless thing?”
“They can’t grasp it?” Gu Fei found it strange. “There’s a scene that Jiang Xun can’t grasp? Which part is it?”
Gu Fei took the script from Jiang Xun’s hands and scanned through it. “These scenes are all very normal for Jiang Xun. She won’t be unable to grasp them.”
Zhaodi was speechless.
“Jiang Xun is a new actress, after all. It’s normal for her to have some things that she can’t grasp,” Qingchen said with a smile. “Teacher Zhou, tell me, which part of Jiang Xun’s performance is beyond her grasp?”
Qingchen’s original intention was to help Zhaodi, but who knew that he would push Zhaodi into a dead end.
Zhaodi stammered for a long time before finally saying, “It’s mainly Jiang Xun and Chen Shuxiao’s scenes. Jiang Xun’s acting is alright, but Chen Shuxiao can’t get it. You can’t ruin the entire performance just because of one person, right? That’s why I wanted to change the play.”
Shuxiao’s face turned red as she explained,”I’m indeed lacking, but I’ll go back and practice hard. I’ll definitely pass that one.”
“Teacher Zhou, Teacher Gu, Teacher Su, Director Guo, my acting experience is not as good as Teacher Zhou and Jiang Xun’s, so the effect is far worse than Jiang Xun’s. If it were my own scenes, Teacher Zhou could have deleted them if he wanted to. I admit that I’m lacking, and I won’t say that I’m not. If you delete my scenes so that it doesn’t implicate others, I won’t say anything. But the scene that Teacher Zhou wants to delete is a scene between me and Jiang Xun. He wants to delete my scene, but he has to delete Jiang Xun’s too.”
“But Jiang Xun’s acting is very good. There’s no fault at all. I’m the one who didn’t act well. You can’t delete Jiang Xun’s part just because I didn’t act well,” Shuxiao said with a smile.
Shuxiao was on Youlan’s team, so Youlan definitely couldn’t let Shuxiao have her scenes deleted.
Youlan said, “You can practice if you’re not good at acting. You still have a week to practice by yourself. Today’s only the first day, and you didn’t rehearse for long. We’re in no hurry to make a decision.”
“Director Guo, Brother Gu, what do you think?” Youlan asked with a smile.
Gu Fei nodded his head in response to Qingchen’s silence. “That’s right. You won’t usually be satisfied with just one performance, so you always have time to practice. Besides, there are times when we can’t get past NGs when we’re filming.”
Youlan was speechless.
She suspected that Gu Fei was referring to her.
Actually, Gu Fei did not mean it that way and was merely making an analogy.
However, ever since Youlan joined the crew of “Under The Starry Sky” and couldn’t finish that scene even after a long time, she had been traumatized.
That experience had become a disgrace to her acting career.
Therefore, Youlan would easily overthink things when someone said something unintentional. She thought about how she kept failing to do bad takes and how Mingguan was so angry that he started cursing.
However, since Youlan and Gu Fei had already said so, Qingchen could only nod in agreement. “Of course. Why don’t you guys act it out for us first? Let’s see where the problem lies and how we should fix it.”
Since he had already said that, Zhaodi couldn’t say anything more.
The three of them adjusted their emotions.
Jiang Xun patted Shuxiao’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll guid you.”
For some reason, Shuxiao felt a sense of confidence when she heard Jiang Xun’s words.
The three of them performed it for Gu Fei and the others.
When it came to the part where Shuxiao had always been bad at acting, Jiang Xun’s aura suddenly burst out and her emotions exploded.
“Big Sister, come back! Come back here!” Jiang Xun chased her to the door, but she was too timid to go out, afraid that someone would find out. She cried with tears all over her face and trembled all over. “Big Sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Come back please… I beg you to come back!”
Shuxiao had always been struggling to find the right emotion. However, because of Jiang Xun’s sudden outburst of emotions, she was stunned for a moment and tears flowed from her eyes.
Her dazed and tearful look made her look like she had already given up, and her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.
Shuxiao was still in shock. She raised her hand naturally and wiped away the tear mechanically. She turned to look at Jiang Xun and smiled.
After the performance was over, Shuxiao laughed at herself for being in a daze for a long time.
After the performance ended, the venue remained silent for more than a minute. No one made a sound.
They were so shocked that they could not speak.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!” Gu Fei was the first to applaud.
Youlan and Qingchen stood still.
They both knew who Gu Fei was clapping for.
Youlan didn’t want to applaud Jiang Xun.
As for Qingchen, Jiang Xun was not in his team, and Qingchen was not willing to give Jiang Xun face.
Thus, Gu Fei was the only one who was excited.
“Isn’t Chen Shuxiao’s acting pretty good?” Gu Fei laughed after he was done clapping. “Teacher Zhou, you should give young actors some opportunities and encouragement!”
Shuxiao was still standing there in a daze, as if her soul had left her body.
“Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen?” Gu Fei called out a few times.
After a few seconds, Shuxiao finally came back to her senses.
“I… I finished acting?” Shuxiao stuttered in shock.
“At least it’s much better than before.” Jiang Xun said with a smile.
Gu Fei and the other two had not seen Shuxiao’s performance before, so they had no idea how bad it was.
However, for Shuxiao to say that Zhaodi could delete her scenes if she didn’t act well, it was clear that Shuxiao’s acting was not that good.
But this time, her emotions had been pushed up by Jiang Xun, and she was about to reach that point.
“Your emotions are still lacking. You need to push it up a little more,” Gu Fei said. “Remember what you’re feeling right now. Go back and practice it well. I’m looking forward to your complete performance next week.”
Zhaodi was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a while.
After all, he had been acting for so many years and had a lot of experience.
One could tell that Shuxiao had performed beyond her usual standards, and it was all because of Jiang Xun.
...
It was because Jiang Xun’s acting was good enough to convey the emotions well that Shuxiao’s emotions were also brought out.
Zhaodi’s face turned ugly.
It turned out that Jiang Xun had not used her full strength during the rehearsal just now.
Did she only use 30% of her acting skills?
Zhaodi’s face darkened at the thought.
Who was Jiang Xun looking down on?
He also did his best during the rehearsal.
But Jiang Xun actually holding back?
No, Jiang Xun’s acting skills were not so good that she only needed 30% during rehearsal!
Zhaodi refused to admit it.
This was because, in Zhaodi’s opinion, Jiang Xun’s acting was already quite good during the rehearsal.
