Chapter 168: This Person Is Really Capable, Isn’t He

Jiang Xun stretched out her trembling hand towards Zhengqiao. She wanted to speak, but she recalled the feeling of suffocation when she was about to die in her previous life.

The feeling of reality hit her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She could not speak at all.

She could only breathe with difficulty intermittently. She opened her mouth in an attempt to speak, but she could not make any sound. One could barely tell from her mouth that she wanted to call the male lead’s name.

Zhengqiao was pulled into the character by Jiang Xun’s emotions. He held Jiang Xun’s outstretched hand and clenched his teeth. His eyes were red, but he couldn’t say a word.

“If… If I were only Jiang Mingyue…” the blood in Jiang Xun’s mouth seemed unusually real with each word. “If… If I were only Jiang Mingyue, would you like me a little?”

“I will!” Zhengqiao held Jiang Xun’s hand. “If you were only Jiang Mingyue, wouldn’t that be great?”

Jiang Xun seemed to have let go of a huge burden in her heart as she spat out blood. She trembled and twitched, then revealed a smile.

Jiang Xun closed her mouth and revealed a smile. She used her hand to wipe the blood from her lips and chin in a weak and disorderly manner. She wanted Zhengqiao to remember how clean she looked when she was smiling before she died.

Her breathing became more rough and messy.

Zhengqiao understood her meaning and quickly helped her wipe the blood.

Jiang Xun’s smile disappeared. At the same time, her hands hung down lifelessly. Her head tilted and she was completely dead.

“Mingyue.” Zhengqiao took a deep breath. “From now on, you will only be called Jiang Mingyue.”

“Cut!” Deng Xu shouted.

Jiang Xun immediately withdrew from Zhengqiao’s embrace.

Zhengqiao was still immersed in the character’s emotions. He lost control of his tears and kept wiping them away.

His a.s.sistant came over and handed him a tissue. Zhengqiao wiped his tears and sniffed at the same time.

Jiang Xun didn’t have such good treatment.

She didn’t have an a.s.sistant, so she could only find a tissue to wipe the tears and prop blood off her face.

“Teacher Jiang, don’t you have an a.s.sistant?” Zhengqiao was no longer the ignorant young man who used his acting skills to crush Jiang Xun and was full of hostility toward her.

Look, he had only filmed two scenes, and he had already started addressing her as Teacher Jiang.

“I don’t deserve to be called Teacher.” Jiang Xun had no choice but to stop. “I’m not even in the industry yet. I’m just a newbie who doesn’t know how to act. Just call me Jiang Xun.”

Zhengqiao: “…”

If not for Jiang Xun’s sincere expression when she spoke, he would have really thought that Jiang Xun was mocking him.

However, Zhengqiao recalled that Jiang Xun’s acting skills were so good.

Wasn’t it easy to act out a sincere expression?

Zhengqiao wiped away his tears. “Teacher Jiang, it’s my blind self-confidence. My horizons were too narrow. I’ve been pursued by others for so long that I’ve forgotten my own abilities. Please don’t lower yourself to my level.”

Jiang Xun: “…”

“Teacher Jiang, I’m sorry. I was rude to you before,” Zhengqiao said very sincerely. “Can you forgive me?”

[Merit points + 50]

Jiang Xun: “!!!”

Zhengqiao was really capable, wasn’t he!

Look at how much merit points he had given her in just half a day!

“We’ll be friends from now on!” Jiang Xun looked at Zhengqiao with a touched expression. What a good person!

“Yes!” Zhengqiao nodded hurriedly.

“So you really don’t have to call me Teacher Jiang,” Jiang Xun said again. “I don’t deserve it.”

This time, Zhengqiao could tell that Jiang Xun was especially sincere.

Zhengqiao was even more impressed.

She was so strong, her acting skills were so good, and she was still so humble.

She deserved to be famous!

“Then let’s calculate by age. Shall I call you Little Jiang?” Zhengqiao said as he took out a tissue and handed it to Jiang Xun. “You can call me Brother Qiao. Everyone calls me that.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xun took the tissue and thanked him.

Zhengqiao asked again, “You don’t have an a.s.sistant?”

“No, I don’t have much work right now. I don’t need an a.s.sistant most of the time.” Jiang Xun used the tissue to wipe away her tears and the prop blood. Then, she used a wet tissue to wipe away the remaining color on her face.

The makeup artist came over to touch up their makeup.

Zhengqiao’s makeup was easier to touch up than Jiang Xun’s. After he was done, he went to look for Deng Xu.

“Director, how was my performance just now?” Zhengqiao asked. “I feel like my emotions have been completely absorbed by Jiang Xun. I think I acted well.”

When Deng Xu heard that, he didn’t say anything. He only played the part for Zhengqiao to watch.

After watching it, Zhengqiao was silent for a moment. “When I was acting, I thought it was pretty good. However, when I watched the video, I still felt that it wasn’t good enough.”

“You’re mood was right, and your lines were pretty good too. It’s just that Jiang Xun is better,” said Deng Xu. “Apart from talent, you can make up for it with experience and hard work. You can study it more.”

Encouraged, Zhengqiao said excitedly, “Do you want another take?”

Deng Xu was silent for a moment. “I think I’ll pa.s.s.”

Zhengqiao: “…”

“If we have a few more, Jiang Xun will have to reduce the difficulty again. I think it’s enough to have reduced it once,” Deng Xu said. “This is Jiang Xun’s first time acting. It’s important to give the audience a good impression. I’ve paid attention to her and there have been many netizens who have been criticizing her.”

“Every time she partic.i.p.ates in a new program, there will always be many people who don’t think highly of her,” Deng Xu said. “Including this performance, I can imagine that after our drama officials announce the list of actors, there will definitely be a large group of people who will criticize her. I really hope that those people who criticize her will be able to see her acting skills and shut up completely.”

“She clearly has such strong acting skills, but she had to lower herself to cooperate and those haters would not be able to see it. This is a little unfair to her,” said Deng Xu. “So I want to reserve this part for her.”

Zhengqiao was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s still my acting skills that aren’t good enough. I’m holding Jiang Xun back.”

Deng Xu was surprised. Previously, Zhengqiao seemed to still have some hostility toward Jiang Xun, although he didn’t know the reason.

How did it change so quickly?

Zhengqiao broke into an embarra.s.sed smile, “Director, don’t look at me like that. I was too arrogant. Now, I’m completely convinced by Jiang Xun’s acting skills. She’s really something else for not taking it to heart when I was so rude to her in the beginning. She’s just a little girl who can be so magnanimous. What right do I have to be so petty?”

Deng Xu patted Zhengqiao’s shoulder in relief. “Teacher Huang, with your att.i.tude, if you’re not popular, who is?”

Zhengqiao really liked hearing Deng Xu’s words, “It’s up to you. I’m just making a statement. It doesn’t matter even if you only cut me back to the background in some scenes. I’m the male lead anyway. I have the most scenes in the entire drama, so I don’t need these few scenes.”

After speaking to Deng Xu, Zhengqiao went to rest for a while and read the script.

Yuexi quickly came over. “Brother Qiao, why are you so polite to Jiang Xun?”

“Actually, Jiang Xun is quite nice,” Zhengqiao said. “You might have some prejudice against her. Throw away your prejudice and get to know her better. You’ll find that she’s very good.”
