Chapter 358 Poor acting skills
Xiao Wushuang had suffered a lot of humiliation these past few days, and with his heart full of resentment, he spared no effort in his mockery.
She absolutely did not believe what Xiao Chen had said.
How could a useless person, a bit player, possibly have any impact on her?
The big joke of slipping the world!
"Xiao Wushuang, it seems you haven't fallen to your full potential yet," Xiao Chen said coldly.
Xiao Wushuang's expression froze, revealing anger.
"With my status, falling from grace? Absolutely impossible!" she sneered. "This little brat could never reach my level, not even in a hundred years. I really don't know where your confidence comes from!"
"Don't panic, you'll see it soon," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Xiao Wushuang glanced at the long queue and sneered.
"Okay, you can just wait in line here. Of course, you might not have to wait in line for long." With that, she walked forward in her high heels.
She is very confident.
With her popularity, plus the fact that she had already filmed two very popular movies of the same genre, she has both acting skills and beauty. As long as the director team isn't blind, they will definitely choose her.
"Xiao Wushuang is here, it seems we have no chance..." someone whispered, satisfying their vanity.
Xiao Wushuang walked past the crowd and went straight to the front.
The person wearing the assistant director's sign stopped him directly.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Wushuang asked, displeased.
"Miss Xiao, please line up," the man said.
"Since you know who I am, you still dare to stop me?" Xiao Wushuang's face darkened.
"Anyone who comes has to queue," the assistant director said sternly.
"I am Xiao Wushuang!" Xiao Wushuang snapped. "Call your entire directing team out here! What are you, a mere assistant, saying? Do you have any decision-making authority?"
“In the past, even your chief director had to be very polite to me…”
“You said it yourself, that was in the past!” A man stepped forward, his face cold.
"No one is exempt, and Miss Xiao is no exception. You'd better go to the back of the line. Of course, you can also just leave."
Xiao Wushuang's expression froze instantly.
Her face burned with embarrassment in front of so many people.
The mocking looks, in particular, fueled her anger.
"Fine, I'll go line up!" she said through gritted teeth.
She didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Xiao Wushuang quickly walked to the back of the line and stood behind Tang You.
"What are you looking at?" She glared at Xiao Chen, who was looking over. "What? Are you gloating?"
"Hmph, so what if I'm ranked behind you? The female lead of this drama will only be me, and it will never be some newbie extra!"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"Tang You, let the big star Xiao go first in line," he said.
“Okay, Brother Xiao Chen.” Tang You nodded and stepped forward to join the back of the line.
Xiao Wushuang was slightly taken aback.
“Let’s see what the big star Xiao is up to,” Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Wushuang sneered.
"You'll regret this... Once I'm in, the people after me won't have a chance!"
Xiao Chen smiled but remained silent.
Although there are many people in line, it doesn't actually take much time.
Because the production team is extremely picky, they will dismiss anyone they deem unsuitable.
Those people almost all left the stage after saying only a few lines.
Tang You became increasingly nervous.
Even those excellent actors didn't catch her eye, so she felt she was even less capable.
"Don't overthink it. Just clear your mind and act it out. Maybe you'll be the female lead," Xiao Chen comforted him.
Xiao Wushuang scoffed, but didn't have time to mock him.
Because it was her turn.
Xiao Wushuang composed herself, walked forward confidently, and exuded remarkable charm.
As a top-tier actress, she naturally possesses an extraordinary aura.
She believed that she was the perfect choice for the female lead.
She stood in front of the directing team and calmly began to act out the scene.
He'd only said two lines...
"Alright, get off here." The director waved his hand impatiently.
Xiao Wushuang froze.
He'd only said two lines...
She is Xiao Wushuang, how could she be so despicable?
Is this director out of his mind?
"Director, is there a problem with my performance?" she asked coldly.
"Affected and mediocre acting, I really don't know how they got to be a top-tier actor," the director said with a stern face.
Xiao Wushuang's face turned red, and her body trembled.
This was the harshest thing she had ever heard about her acting skills since entering the entertainment industry.
No one has ever dared to say that her acting skills are bad.
"Director, I have to question your judgment. I'm an actress who has won the Golden Flower Award. You're saying my acting is bad?" she said indignantly.
"Since when can a popularity award like the Golden Flower Award, based on online voting, represent acting skills?" The director asked with a sarcastic expression.
"Get down, Xiao Wushuang, you're completely unsuitable for acting!"
Xiao Wushuang was struck dumb.
These words caused her immense pain, making her heart clench.
"You...you have such a bad eye!" she started cursing.
"Get them out!" the director snapped.
Xiao Wushuang was kicked off the set and was dejected.
She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.
Xiao Chen's soft chuckle made her even more furious.
"If even I can't pass, then those extras can forget about it!" She didn't leave immediately, but waited on the side.
It seemed that only seeing Tang You being kicked out could bring him peace of mind.
Tang You stepped onto the stage nervously, feeling quite restrained.
"Ah……"
Xiao Wushuang sneered.
With this kind of attitude, you still want to act and become a star?
It would be strange if the director didn't yell at him.
"Little girl, relax, we don't eat people." The director suddenly smiled warmly and joked.
Xiao Wushuang looked on in disbelief.
So many people were treated coldly, but the director smiled at this minor extra?
Why?
Even Xiao Wushuang got a rebuff...
Tang You's tense mood eased a bit, and she began to act out scenes from the female lead's storyline.
Her acting skills are still immature and far less professional than those of the other actors.
However, it exudes a kind of spiritual energy that can attract people.
"A vulgar performance, an unbearable act!" Xiao Wushuang said with utter disdain and contempt.
She felt that Tang You was far inferior to her and that things wouldn't end well for her.
"Young lady, you're the one we've been looking for. Come join our crew!" The director suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"what?!"
Xiao Wushuang was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open.
She couldn't believe it, and found it even harder to accept.
And just like that, an unknown extra became the leading lady of a hit drama.
Arabian Nights!
Even she started her rise to fame as a supporting actress...
What makes this blonde girl so special?
Why?!
Xiao Wushuang's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with resentment and jealousy.
"I...I passed?" Tang You couldn't believe it, feeling like she was dreaming.
“Yes, you’re going to be the female lead,” Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"what……"
Tang You shouted with immense joy.
This is like a windfall!
I never imagined she would have such a day.
Lin Youyou simply looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with profound meaning.
Her inner speculation grew.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Wushuang.
Xiao Wushuang's eyes were bloodshot.
Xiao Chen's words resurfaced in his mind.
"Does this mean... I'll really have no acting opportunities left and slowly fade into obscurity?"
"That blonde girl, she's going to replace me?"
Her face turned somewhat ferocious.
