Chapter 686: Su Youlan Is Just Asking For It

“Not only are the types of works different, but even the characters are not repeated. She had played the leading role before and was willing to play a supporting role in order to try out different roles. She is not someone who insists on only playing different types of works but refuses to play anything other than the lead role,” Haolun said loudly. “Isn’t such an actor rare? Especially considering that Jiang Xun is still so young!”

“The two of you said that Xu Zhelin is a young actor and has made great progress. But don’t forget, Jiang Xun is much younger than Xu Zhelin. Xu Zhelin is already a young actor, but is Jiang Xun not? Just because she has good acting skills did not mean that she is not a young person!”

Haolun’s words were all based on the views that Zhang Lun and Chengbing had just said. He was refuting them with reason and evidence.

Doing so was not giving them any face. It was as if they had been stripped of their faces, which were thrown to the ground to be stomped on.

However, the audience enjoyed listening to it.

“Director Guo is right!”

The audience shouted again.

“Moreover, what he said is indeed right. He is not like Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing, who have far-fetched reasons.”

“Therefore, I vote for Jiang Xun,” Haolun said coldly. “Even though I’m the only one who has voted and Jiang Xun might lose, I insist on a fair judgment!”

This time, no one in the audience spoke.

However, everyone applauded loudly.

Jinyuan had no choice but to say quickly, “Next, will the guest appreciation group cast their votes.”

Each member of the guest appreciation group also had about a minute to comment on the reasons for their votes.

Now, including Youlan, there were a total of 10 people.

The first four people voted for Jiang Xun.

When it came to Youlan, she felt conflicted.

If she didn’t vote for Jiang Xun, it seemed that no matter what reason she gave, she would be ridiculed.

However, if she voted for Jiang Xun, it would really make her unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.

“I…” Youlan gritted her teeth. “I vote for Jiang Xun.”

For the sake of her reputation and to avoid being ridiculed, Youlan had voted for Jiang Xun no matter how unwilling she was.

After being in the entertainment industry for so long, she was still tactful and could accept this little grievance.

She had long learned how to do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs in the entertainment industry.

If she said something nice in front of the camera, even if she was dissatisfied, she would only beat around the bush and be sarcastic.

Often, it would take a professional video commentator to analyze the situation before the audience realized that she was actually being sarcastic.

She wouldn’t let the audience see it directly.

It would make the audience see how low she was.

Even though she had mentioned Jiang Xun’s name, Youlan still couldn’t take it lying down. She almost lost control of her expression.

The saddest thing was that she had to give a reason. Youlan could only force a smile and say against her will, “I’m Jiang Xun and Xu Zhelin’s guest actor. I’ve rehearsed with them before. Xu Zhelin and Jiang Xun were both practicing very hard. Jiang Xun actually had it a little harder. She did not have any dance foundation, but she was able to perform this Jinghong Dance to such an amazing level. It was really surprising. I recommended Jiang Xun to play the role of Concubine Mei. I thought that the opening dance would be very eye-catching and would be good for Jiang Xun. I didn’t expect it to be so. Of course, Jiang Xun did not disappoint either.”

“Yes.” Jiang Xun nodded. “In the beginning, I wanted to play the role of Yang Yuhuan, and I made it clear that I had no dancing skills at all. I hadn’t learned to dance before. It was Teacher Su who insisted that I should play Concubine Mei. She even said that I could practice dancing if I’ve never danced before and that it would be easy since I only had to dance for a while. I had no choice but to act as Concubine Mei. I didn’t have time to practice my role performance after I went back for a week. I was completely focused on dancing.”

“I was very afraid that if I din’t dance well, it will hurt the audience’s eyes. I would make the audience misunderstand that I clearly don’t know how to dance, so why must I choose this role? I was also worried that the audience would think that I’m not good because I did not practice properly. The Jinghong Dance was especially difficult, and the audience who had seen it would definitely know. It was especially difficult for someone like me who did not have any dancing skills. To me, dancing is more difficult than performing. Therefore, I could only make a choice. I had to give up practicing acting first and practice dancing well first.”

“It wasn’t until last night, because I was going on stage today, that I quickly practiced my lines a few more times,” Jiang Xun said.

Youlan was speechless.

She had originally wanted to take credit for herself, making it sound as if it was because of her suggestion that Jiang Xun had gotten her current results.

Who knew that Jiang Xun would actually speak so quickly!

It was too late for Youlan to stop her.

The audience was speechless.

“Su Youlan’s relationship with Jiang Xun is as bad as ever.”

“The netizens aren’t spouting nonsense, and the netizens aren’t guessing blindly. The relationship between the two of them is indeed not good.”

“What is Su Youlan thinking? Since she knows that her relationship with Jiang Xun isn’t good, and she knows Jiang Xun’s personality, she still dares to take credit for herself in front of Jiang Nun? It would be strange if Jiang Xun let her do it.”

“Su Youlan’s actions are indeed disgusting.”

“Let’s get to the main point. Jiang Xun said that she told Su Youlan that she doesn’t know how to dance and has no dancing skills. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have been given the role of Concubine Mei. For example, if Jiang Xun didn’t dance well, she would be scolded and it would affect the audience’s evaluation of her performance. Dancing was also a part of the performance, just like her subsequent acting. However, Su Youlan insisted on letting Jiang Xun dance despite knowing that she knew nothing about dancing. I don’t think she wanted Jiang Xun to win at all.”

“Didn’t Jiang Xun say it just now? After she went back, she spent all her time practicing her dance and had no time to practice her acting. Fortunately, Jiang Xun has martial arts skills, so she could also do things like lowering her back. Otherwise, it would really be because he couldn’t practice dancing well and couldn’t perform well. Isn’t that a recipe for failure?

“It’s really not easy for Jiang Xun to practice dancing to this extent in a week.”

“Yeah, the key is that her acting skills are really good. She didn’t have time to practice acting, but she still acted so well.”

“If Jiang Xun saw Su Youlan taking credit for herself, I would have to speak up. She wants to drag me down and even get benefits. What right does she have!”

“Definitely! If Su Youlan hadn’t mentioned this, Jiang Xun wouldn’t have had a reason to speak up. Now that Su Youlan had taken the initiative to speak up, wasn’t this giving Jiang Xun a chance to vent her anger? If I were Jiang Xun, I wouldn’t let Su Youlan off so easily.” “Yes, Jiang Xun was already giving Su Youlan face by keeping silent.”

“Su Youlan is just asking for it.”

Jinyuan’s lips twitched. What was Youlan after?

Her reputation was already getting worse by the day, and it collapsed again today..
