Chapter 148: Being Capable Is Amazing!

Deng Xu smiled and said to the actor, “Actually, your acting is not bad. Moreover, you are acting with Jiang Xun. You are releasing a certain amount of emotion to help Jiang Xun get into the character, but at the same time, you are not stealing Jiang Xun’s limelight. You have a good grasp of just this little bit of propriety. Young man, continue to work hard. You have to have confidence in yourself.”

The male actor was really about to cry.

Deng Xu thought he was comforting him.

But he didn’t care at first if he would steal Jiang Xun’s limelight.

He even came to steal Jiang Xun’s limelight.

He thought the director would notice him if he acted well enough.

Even if the male lead was set and he couldn’t get it, there was still a chance to give him an important role.

But who knew he wouldn’t be able to outshine Jiang Xun’s limelight!

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do better, but he couldn’t do it even if he tried his best.

In Deng Xu’s eyes, he was an actor who knew his limits and didn’t try to steal Jiang Xun’s limelight.

How sad was this?

The male actor had already been dealt a heavy blow, and now he was listless.

Screenwriter Ma walked over and patted him on the shoulder. “It’s fine. You’re already pretty good. It’s just that we didn’t expect Jiang Xun to be so talented.”

The male actor was speechless.

‘You two have comforted me well. Don’t try to comfort me the next time.’

Deng Xu had already given the male actor some face by comforting him. Now, he turned his attention to Jiang Xun. “Jiang Xun, you’ve surprised me. I didn’t expect you to be so talented in acting.”

“That’s right!” Screenwriter Ma kept nodding at the side. “Especially the look in your eyes when you acted as a murderer. It looked so real. To tell you the truth, I only saw you from the corner of my eye just now, and my whole body was cold. So how did you do that?”

Jiang Xun couldn’t say that she was just imagining the feeling of killing zombies.

In the post-apocalyptic world, humans would lose humanity when zombies killed too many of them. Sometimes, they would even lose themselves for a while.

She only showed a little bit of emotion.

Jiang Xun scratched her head and explained, “I just imagined that scene in my mind and then put myself in the role of an assassin. I thought of my reaction as an assassin, so I showed it instead of just pretending.”

What Jiang Xun said was also true.

She did think so.

Screenwriter Ma sighed deeply. “This is talent!”

The male actor didn’t know what to say.

‘So, should I leave?’

Deng Xu was laughing hard. Initially, he had only given the role to Jiang Xun because he feared that Qin Mufeng would make things difficult.

However, he did not expect to find a treasure.

He had never expected that Jiang Xun could act so well.

With Jiang Xun’s acting skills, he would willingly make her the female lead!

It was a pity that Jiang Xun was not famous enough.

“With your acting skills, it would be a waste of your talent to let you play Bi Yuewu.” Deng Xu felt regretful. “There are other more important roles. Are you not going to consider them?”

The male actor cried with envy.

He was afraid that he would not be able to get any of the roles.

On the other hand, Jiang Xun was free to choose any role other than the female lead.

Was this the world of the big shots?

Jiang Xun asked, “Are there any bigger villains?”

Screenwriter Ma was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why Jiang Xun would ask this. “There are. The biggest villain has been pretending to be a good person in the early stages and only exposed herself in the end.”

Jiang Xun shook her head. “That won’t do. Are there any villains from the beginning to the end?”

The male actor was envious and in tears. Look at her. She was already picking and choosing roles.

Being capable was amazing!

“That would be Bi Yuewu.” Screenwriter Ma thought for a moment and said, “Although she pretended to be a teacher during the day, only the male lead doesn’t know. The audience, from the god’s perspective, can see everything. The more she acts like this, the more the audience hates Bi Yuewu. They hope Bi Yuewu would reveal herself quickly, and the male lead will catch her.”

“Then, I’ll take that role.” Jiang Xun’s stance was firm.

Deng Xu finally understood. “You want to act as the villain, right?”

“For the time being, yes.” She would stop acting when she could no longer earn Merit Points from acting as the villain.

“There’s a role that’s quite suitable, but it’s not my project.” Deng Xu thought of a role. “There’s no rush. That drama hasn’t been set up yet, and there’s only one script idea. I’ll go and find out more about it and explain it to you in detail later.”

Deng Xu now cherished Jiang Xun’s acting talent from the bottom of his heart. He felt that giving her the role of Bi Yuewu was a waste of talent.

Therefore, he had already made up his mind. No matter what, he had to get Jiang Xun an important role so she could shine in the performing arts world!

“You still have to go back to class, right?” Deng Xu remembered that Jiang Xun was a student at Peking University.

His original intention of recommending Jiang Xun to attend the National Film Academy was interrupted.

He couldn’t let the top universities in China lose talent.

“Yes, I’ll go back after the audition today.”

“Alright, then you should hurry back. I won’t keep you. As for the call time, I’ll discuss it with your agent.” Deng Xu was speaking at ease now, not only because of Mufeng but also because of Jiang Xun’s talent. “Focus on your studies.”

“Thank you, Director. Thank you, Screenwriter Ma,” Jiang Xun said sincerely.

If she could still feel Deng Xu’s slight contempt for her during the last meal, she wouldn’t have noticed it this time.

Jiang Xun could even feel that Deng Xu was treating her with more respect. Every word he said to her was sincere.

Jiang Xun had always respected and repaid those who treated her sincerely.

After Jiang Xun left, the male actor returned to the waiting room to continue waiting for his audition for the role.

Deng Xu did not ask his assistant to call the next person immediately. Instead, he sighed to Screenwriter Ma. “I didn’t expect Jiang Xun to be so talented in acting. I was wrong before.”

“Hey! You haven’t seen Jiang Xun’s performance before, so you can’t say you were wrong.” Screenwriter Ma cupped her hands.

Deng Xu was very happy and continued, “What kind of roles do you think Jiang Xun will take in the future?”

Screenwriter Ma didn’t know how to respond.

There were still people waiting for the audition. Wasn’t it too much to think about Jiang Xun’s future career here?

“She would be in the entertainment industry. Isn’t she heading in this direction now?” Screenwriter Ma felt that the answer was very obvious.

“Hey! Have you forgotten? Jiang Xun is a top student at Peking University.” Deng Xu was very appreciative of top students. “A top student at Peking University. Isn’t it a bit of a loss for our country for her to develop in the entertainment industry?”

Screenwriter Ma had really forgotten. “Oh, yeah! That’s true! If she were to work in the entertainment industry, it would be a bit of a pity! I don’t know what she plans to do in the future.”

Screenwriter Ma shared the same concern as Deng Xu.

Deng Xu’s assistant said nothing.

‘You two are so nice to make people wait on you, aren’t you?’

The assistant waited silently for ten minutes before he finally couldn’t wait any longer. “Director, Screenwriter Ma, there are still actors waiting to audition.”
