Jiang Du brought me a complete team, top-notch makeup artist and assistant.
When I finished my makeup, the whole crew fell silent.
Cheng Taoxi, who has always marketed her beauty, stood next to me, like a gloomy ugly duckling.
The makeup artist who messed up my makeup is a die-hard fan of Jiang Du. Originally wanting to go and make amends, he now only dared to hide behind others, afraid of being seen.
But hiding is useless. Before Jiang Du arrived, I had already asked for everyone's names.
Flattery without professional ethics, poor professional quality, she will find it very difficult to rise again in this industry.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the set.
It turned out that as soon as Jiang Du entered the crew, his fans became anxious and even inquired about the filming location of the crew, and came straight over.
At the moment, those fans were surrounding the set, anxiously shouting, "Jiang Du, just take the role, but don't get involved with rubbish actors like Jiang Qinwen, it'll lower our standards too much."
Jiang Du looked at those fans expressionlessly. Usually, he would clear the area, but this time, unexpectedly, he didn't drive the people away, allowing the fans to stay outside the set.
Then he took the script.
The first scene was his scene with Cheng Taoxi.
He sat calmly, his voice steady, but everyone inside and outside the set could hear him clearly: "I heard that your acting skills are very good, better than Jiang Qinwen's?"
He was clearly referring to the comparison videos of the two of us online.
After the news of True Heiress came out, many inexplicable videos appeared on the Internet.
My videos were all different kinds of uninspired, expressionless, and were ridiculed by many people.
But those videos were not shot during the official filming, I was just practicing lines casually during my spare time, and I don't know who took them.
And Cheng Taoxi's ordinary acting skill videos were incredibly highlighted.
Cheng Taoxi used me as a stepping stone to market herself as a pitiful, bullied beauty with strong capabilities, and gained a lot of fans.
Online comments were almost entirely negative towards me for praising her. Anyone who came out to speak for me was branded as "True Heiress's lackey" and was pursued and scolded as my water army.
When Jiang Du asked, Cheng Taoxi didn't catch anything.
She said, "Qinwen is a newcomer, it's normal to have poor acting skills. I came from a professional background, and being able to get so many leading roles is also a recognition of my abilities by the directors."
The fans watching all praised her for speaking calmly.
Jiang Du made no comment, and put down the script: "Let's start."
The first scene was NG, Cheng Taoxi couldn't even follow Jiang Du's lines, she didn't even say the first line.
The second scene was NG, she finally said a line, but it was stuttered.
... NG for the seventh time, Cheng Taoxi was crushed and performed miserably.
The audience that was praising her just now looked at each other in silence.
Jiang Du threw the script aside, and indifferently said to the director, "Is this the leading actress you approve of?"
The director had been wiping his sweat since the third NG.
Now it was so embarrassing, he rubbed his hands and said, "Maybe your aura is too strong, your acting skills are overwhelming, and Cheng Taoxi can't handle the role. Actually, this is a mid-budget romance drama, your performance is enough for us to watch."
Jiang Du sneered, "Oh, so it's my fault then?"
The director started sweating again, "That's not what I meant, not what I meant."
I could clearly see what was happening.
Jiang Du was intentionally suppressing the scene.
He emitted a powerful aura, and Cheng Taoxi was immediately flustered, unable to keep up with his performance, looking childish.
He was coming to give me a chance.
My brother understands me very well.
He knows what I care about the most. I don't actually care about the accusations that I'm throwing my weight around and bullying others.
I like acting, my dream is to be a good actress.
What makes me the angriest is stepping on my acting skills to promote a wooden actress like this.
Sure enough, Jiang Du then turned to his next scene and said to me, "The next scene is yours."
I nodded and walked to my position.
As soon as I appeared, the fans outside took a breath.
"Whoa, who's that beautiful? Why does she bring her own divine light?""
"Could that be Jiang Qinwen?""
"With looks like hers, who cares about her acting skills? Even picking her nose in front of the camera would look good."
I didn't pay attention to what was being said outside.
Because the camera was on.
I instantly got into character.
This was a very intense emotional scene, and Jiang Du still released a powerful aura, because he knew that I could handle it, and the more powerful the opponent, the better I could perform.
We performed this scene with intense emotions, and the profound sorrow was portrayed to the fullest.
After the performance, the whole set fell silent for a full minute.
After a minute, there was thunderous applause.
The difference in acting between me and Cheng Taoxi was obvious to everyone.
Cheng Taoxi's face was pale, she twisted her clothes and looked resentful, but couldn't say anything.
Jiang Du ruffled my hair and showed a familiar and gentle smile, "Little sister, you did great, I'm proud of you."
