Chapter 295: A Ruthlessness That Came From Struggling To Survive

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She was not like Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun had a ruthlessness that came from struggling to survive.

Screenwriter Yu had seen Jiang Xun’s experience on the Internet, but it was a little strange.

Those experiences were indeed very difficult and cruel for a seven-year-old child.

However, the ruthlessness on Jiang Xun’s body was a ruthlessness that came from standing on the brink of death countless times and struggling to survive countless times.

The suffering she had experienced seemed to be much more than what was shown on the Internet.

Haolun smiled and said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I’ll call you Little Su.”

“You’ve already read the script, right?” Haolun asked.

Although he hadn’t confirmed the actors, since they intended to come for an audition, Haolun would definitely give part of the script to the actors.

Otherwise, how could the actors perform if they could not even understand the role?

“I’ve read through it.” Youlan nodded.

“Okay, then go ahead and try this part.” Haolun did not look at the script. He had already memorized the script by heart. “One part is Lin Xuyan’s college entrance exam results, and the other part is Lin Xuyan wondering why she could not get the college admission notice after waiting for a long time. She went to ask her parents and found out that her mother had taken the volunteer form from her teacher for the reason that her family could not afford to send her to college.”

In the 1980s, the college entrance exam system at that time was to estimate her score after the exam and then fill in the application form according to her estimated score.

The score would only come out after the application was completed. Only then would she know if she could get in.

“Okay.” Youlan chose a corner of the room and squatted down on her knees. She was washing her clothes when she heard the voice of the postman delivering a letter. She ran out in a hurry.

“Is there a letter for Lin Xuyan?” Youlan stared at the letter in the postman’s hand nervously.

The postman looked at it and said, “Yes.”

Youlan took it and took it nervously. She opened it and took out the college entrance examination report card.

“498 points!” Youlan took the report card and ran home excitedly. “Dad, Mom, second brother, my result is 498 points! I… I can go to Huaqiao University! I can go to Huaqiao University!”

Youlan was so excited that she cried.

“Okay, the second segment. Lin Xuyan waited for a long time for the acceptance letter and found out the truth,” Haolun said.

Youlan finished her performance.

Haolun clapped his hands in satisfaction. “I still have to call you Teacher Su. You have rich acting experience. As expected of someone who has honed her acting skills in the film industry.”

It had to be said that Youlan’s acting skills in the television industry could indeed beat everyone.

Youlan covered her pride and smiled modestly. “Director Guo, I wonder if I have a chance to play the role of Lin Xuyan?”

There was still the last audition which was Jiang Xun’s, so Haolun could not come to a conclusion. “I can only make a judgment after I watch the entire performance. Teacher Su, wait for our news.”

Youlan nodded and said goodbye before leaving.

Haolun’s assistant went to call Jiang Xun.

Taking advantage of the gap in between, Screenwriter Yu said to Haolun, “Director Guo, I think Su Youlan’s acting skills are indeed fine, but the marks of the sculpting are too strong. She knows too well how to act and when to act, and what kind of emotions to show. It’s a very formulaic performance.”

“Moreover, she doesn’t have the fierce fighting spirit that Lin Xuyan has when she’s struggling in the marketplace,” Screenwriter Yu said. “It’s obvious that she has never done any work. She doesn’t even wash her clothes by hand. Her image is that of a student in an ivory tower. She can act as a young lady from a rich family. However, she lacks the ferocity to act as a small character in the marketplace.”

Haolun smiled and said, “Isn’t it that you like Jiang Xun more?”

“Director Guo, you know me. Good means good. Lacking means lacking. I’m absolutely not biased.” Screenwriter Yu raised both of his hands to prove his innocence. “I still feel that Su Youlan is a little lacking. It’s not that her acting isn’t good. She acted very well, but that’s the main point. She’s acting. She doesn’t think of herself as Lin Xuyan. She’s just using Su Youlan’s method to portray Lin Xuyan.”

“I understand what you mean.” Haolun nodded. “In fact, I have the same feeling.”

“Maybe she has too much acting experience, so her acting is too strong. Her acting is very good, so people can tell at a glance that she is acting,” Haolun said. “In other words, she has too much artistry.”

That was why Haolun had said those words to Youlan just now.

It couldn’t be said that her acting was bad. On the contrary, her acting was very good.

However, her acting experience was rich and polished. This kind of description could mean that her acting was good, or it could mean something else.

“If her acting skills were placed in the television industry, she could indeed beat everyone.” Haolun sighed. “If in a while Jiang Xun’s performance isn’t good enough, then we can only choose Su Youlan.”

This was because although Youlan didn’t meet their expectations, there was indeed no one who could act better than Youlan.

“Jiang Xun hasn’t acted yet. How do you know that her acting won’t be good enough?” Screenwriter Yu felt that Haolun’s words were inappropriate. “Let’s wait and see. I have a lot of confidence in Jiang Xun.”

One of them wanted to act as Xuyan, and the other was Xuyan’s origin.

He knows that Jiang Xun was better even if she didn’t act.

Jiang Xun saw Youlan return to the lounge with a confident look on her face, as if victory was within her grasp.

It seemed that Youlan was very satisfied with her performance.

“Teacher Jiang.” Haolun’s assistant came over to call her. “It’s your turn.”

Jiang Xun stood up. Youlan encouraged Jiang Xun with a confident look on her face. “Do your best. No matter what the outcome is, at least you’ve tried your best.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Xun said perfunctorily and left the lounge.

How could she not see through Youlan’s little trick?

It was nothing more than a blow to her confidence, making her feel that the role must already belong to Youlan, affecting her state of mind.

She had never been affected by zombies. She had struggled on the brink of death countless times, and had even experienced death.

Her state of mind was strong, so how could she be affected by Youlan’s little psychological attack?

“Sister Youlan, aren’t we leaving?” After Jiang Xun left with Xin’an, Xiaoxiao asked, “Are we waiting for the results here?”

Youlan crossed her arms and crossed her legs. She said coldly, “I want to know the results of Jiang Xun’s audition. I’d like to see how she performs.”

Xiaoxiao sneered disdainfully, “How can Jiang Xun win against you? If you didn’t come, she might still have some hope. But now that you’re here, as long as they’re not fools, everyone knows who to choose.”

Youlan smiled in agreement and confidence. “I just want to see Jiang Xun’s dejected expression when she comes out.”

*

Jiang Xun followed Haolun’s assistant into the audition room. Xin’an was waiting outside the door.

“Director, Teacher Yu,” Jiang Xun called out as soon as she entered.

They had just seen Youlan, and now they were looking at Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun’s temperament, which was unwilling to admit defeat and struggled to survive in a difficult situation, was even more obvious compared to Youlan’s.
