“Host, although you don’t know how to dance, your strength is definitely passable.”
Jiang Xun was speechless.
Although this sounded like a compliment, it didn’t feel right.
Jiang Xun was relieved to know that the dance skill book had the original version of the Jinghong Dance.
On the other hand, Youlan did not give up. “Jiang Xun, I’m a guest actor and also a guest from the appreciation group. I won’t harm you.”
According to the program’s rules, Youlan had already stepped down from her position as the team leader, and the original members of her team had already joined Gu Fei’s and Qingchen’s teams. Even if Youlan were to join the guest appreciation group for the voting, there would not be any unfairness in favoring any of the members, so there was nothing wrong with arranging for her to join the guest appreciation group.
Otherwise, why would he pay Youlan for nothing after inviting her for so many episodes?
Of course, this was only the production team’s explanation to the audience.
But in reality, Guixin was well aware of Youlan’s dissatisfaction with Jiang Xun.
If Youlan were to enter the guest appreciation group…
She might be able to score the other groups fairly, but she definitely couldn’t do the same for Jiang Xun.
What the production team wanted to see was such an obvious conflict.
It would be best if Jiang Xun and Youlan could start a fight on the spot.
Previously, the production team wanted some action from Jiang Xun, and they got it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xun was tearing apart the production team.
Sigh, let’s not talk about it.
The production team cried when they thought about it.
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time.” Youlan was afraid that Jiang Xun would disagree. “If you don’t agree, you’ll be wasting not only your own time, but also the time of the actors in the same group. You’re not the only one filming this scene. If you are the only one filming, it won’t matter how much time you spend stalling. But now, there’s also Xu Zhelin. He needs this opportunity more than you do.” Zhelin was speechless.
He did not.
He didn’t expect Youlan to drag him out as well.
What did this have to do with him!
Behind Youlan, Zhelin hurriedly shook his head at Jiang Xun.
It meant that he did not think so.
Although he didn’t want to offend Youlan, he didn’t dare to offend Jiang Xun either!
Speaking of which, Jiang Xun seemed to be even more terrifying than Youlan.
“If you hadn’t insisted on letting me play a role that I didn’t want to play, I wouldn’t have been unable to decide until now. If you had directly agreed to let me act as Yang Yuhuan, there wouldn’t have been these things, and it wouldn’t have delayed other people’s time,” Jiang Xun said coldly.
Youlan opened her mouth and was about to retort when Jiang Xun spoke again,
“Blit forget it- Since 1/011 insist on me acting. I’ll do it.”
Youlan was speechless.
Since you’ve decided to act, why are you saying so much?
Just now, Jiang Xun had been willing to act, and Youlan had tried her best to get Jiang Xun to act.
But now that Jiang Xun had finally agreed, Youlan suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Why did Jiang Xun suddenly change her mind and want to act?
Youlan furrowed her brows as she pondered.
Jiang Xun wasn’t someone who would easily compromise.
No one could force her to do something that she really did not want to do.
Would Jiang Xun really agree to play Concubine Mei just because of her words?
Moreover, didn’t Jiang Xun not know how to dance?
Youlan couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xun. Did she really not?
In fact, an expert could tell if she had dancing skills or not.
People who danced had different postures.
The posture here did not mean how good looking the posture was.
Instead, it was because of dance practice that the dancer revealed some postures related to dance.
It was just like a martial artist who had a strong and powerful feeling, standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell.
Youlan could tell that Jiang Xun worked out and practiced martial arts.
Putting aside the fact that she had personally seen Jiang Xun fight, just by looking at Jiang Xun’s bearing, it was obvious that she had trained. However, Youlan could tell that Jiang Xun had never learned dancing before.
Yes, it was obvious that she had never learned it.
So why did Jiang Xun agree to play Concubine Mei?
What was she planning?
Youlan couldn’t make up her mind and even wanted Jiang Xun to play Yuhuan.
However, she wondered if this was Jiang Xun’s strategy.
She would deliberately agree to play Concubine Mei to make her doubt and hesitate.
This was because Jiang Xun knew that she had some understanding of her. She knew that Jiang Xun was not someone who was easy to talk to.
Therefore, if Jiang Xun had agreed so readily, she would definitely have doubts.
As long as she went back on her word and returned the role to Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun would win.
However, Youlan wasn’t sure.
Was that really what Jiang Xun was thinking?
It was to make her suspicious so that Jiang Xun could get back the role of
Yuhuan.
Or was Jiang Xun interested in Concubine Mei from the start?
However, Jiang Xun didn’t know how to dance, so it was certain that she didn’t have any dance skills.
Even if Jiang Xun could do all kinds of splits because of her martial arts, her movements were definitely stiff and not gentle for dancing.
Youlan calmed herself down and told herself that she could not let Jiang Xun affect her judgment. She did not want to be confused by Jiang Xun’s actions. 𝓷𝒐𝓋𝖊𝓁𝐔𝑆𝔟.𝑐𝒐𝓂
She insisted on her initial analysis. Since Jiang Xun was so resistant to playing Concubine Mei, she must have wanted to play Yuhuan.
Just the dance segment alone was enough to eliminate Jiang Xun.
Youlan took a deep breath and decided to stick to her initial plan.
“Alright, now that the roles have been assigned, let’s start to go through the scenes first.” Youlan said, “You can skip the part with the Jinghong Dance first. Jiang Xun, you should hurry up and learn it well. Since the entire scene is only 20 minutes long, the duration of the Jinghong Dance won’t be so long. You don’t have to dance the entire scene. It’s not difficult to just dance a short part.”
When Youlan was rehearsing her scenes, she was thinking about how to cut Jiang Xun’s scenes.
“Jiang Xun, I don’t think we can act like this here.” Youlan said, “Isn’t your Concubine Mei too arrogant? Although she was previously a favored concubine, she had now been completely replaced by Yang Yuhuan. Li Longji hadn’t seen her for a long time. Now that he finally came to see her, could she still throw a tantrum like a favored concubine? You should be more gentle.”
Jiang Xun said with a half-smile, f”When Yang Yuhuan was favored, Concubine Mei was able to curse Yang Yuhuan wantonly. She even wrote a long satirical poem to satirize Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan. Why do you think that such a woman with integrity would become gentle just because Li Longji changed his mind a little? There are very few records of Concubine Mei in history, but there is a saying, ‘Concubine Mei likes plum blossoms, and her integrity is like that of a plum flower.’ How can a woman who has received such an evaluation bend her spine and lose her backbone?”
“During the mutiny, Li Longji fled with Yang Yuhuan, not Concubine Mei. After the incident at Mawei Slope, Li Longji ordered Yang Yuhuan to die. When he returned to the palace, he learned that Concubine Mei had committed suicide because she did not want to be humiliated,” Jiang Xun said lightly..
