Chapter 245: How Could He Not Speak Up For Himself?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the third female lead role was not the main character, it was the core of the entire drama.

For this reason, Zilong was very careful in choosing the actors. However, he did not expect that Jiang Xun would play the role in the end.

It seemed that Jiang Xun indeed had the ability.

Xiangyou did not expect Jiang Xun to be so talented. He even envied her talent.

She did not have much acting experience before, but she could act so well.

“Oh, right, that’s her name.” Xiuse pretended to be reminded and then remembered, “She seems to be… a second-generation rich kid?”

Then, Xiuse sneered. “I was wondering why Director Chen would deliberately delay the start of the movie for her, so it was that we could all wait for her.”

“It seems that you really don’t surf the internet much, Teacher Lu.” Xiangyou smiled slightly. “Jiang Xun is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family of the Chengye Group. However, her relationship with the Jiang family is rather complicated and not very good. She never grew up in the Jiang family since she was young, and now she is struggling on her own. She must have won the role by relying on her own ability. It has nothing to do with her family.”

Xiuse choked and raised her eyebrows. “Oh, Teacher Zhang, you seem to know Jiang Xun pretty well?”

As a young man who was currently popular, Xiangyou had too many girlfriends and fans.

How could he let Xiuse get a hold of the topic?

Xiangyou looked away from the script and smiled at Xiuse. “I really can’t say that I know her. It’s just that I’ve always been a 5G surfer, so I’ve learned a little from the Internet.”

“It’s hard to tell if the news on the internet is real or fake,” Xiuse said stubbornly. “Those marketing accounts and gossip accounts send out fake gossip every day. It’s too laughable for us, but the netizens actually believe it. Someone actually said that I raised a brat. Don’t you think it’s laughable? That’s why, you could read the news on the internet, but just leave it at that.”

“I see, Teacher Lu, so you surf the internet. I thought you didn’t surf the internet at all.” Xiangyou had always thought that Jiang Xun was a good person. Although he wouldn’t offend others for her sake, Xiuse was even disgusted with him, and it was obvious that she saw that he did not have judgment and believed everything that was said on the internet.

Xiuse had already dragged his words onto his head. How could he not speak up for himself?

Xiuse’s smile froze. “It’s true that I don’t surf the internet too much. When I occasionally take a look, I only see gossip about myself.”

“It’s true that Teacher Lu is popular, so you only see gossip about yourself occasionally,” Xiangyou said with a smile.

Qiyao listened from the side, and she cried out in her heart. Xiangyou was also a good person with a strange attitude.

“However, there were influencers and reporters who directly carried out live interviews with Jiang Xun,” Xiangyou said with a smile. “They went to the small hotel where Jiang Xun stayed after she left home to confirm her past. They also went to her high school and uncle’s house to find out about it. Moreover, these content were livestreamed the entire time. There was no possibility of fraud. Now, everyone can say with certainty that all of Jiang Xun’s achievements have nothing to do with the Jiang family. It’s all on her own. So this time, Director Chen was willing to delay the start of the shoot in order to accommodate her time. It must be because her acting skills have been recognized by Director Chen.”

Xiangyou said, “Although Cheng Yao is a third female lead role, she is the soul of the entire drama. Director Chen values this role very much.”

Xiangyou had an immature thought. He even felt that Zilong valued this role more than the male and female lead roles.

Perhaps in Zilong’s mind, the male and female lead roles could be changed at will, but Cheng Yao’s role could not.

When Xiuse heard this, she could only change her words, “Hehe, I just feel that it’s strange. For her alone, the production team had to adjust their schedule. Forget about the production team’s staff. Their job is to follow the production team anyway, and they will work when the production team is needed. But we are different. We have many other jobs. We arrange our schedules according to the time stipulated in the contract.”

“For Jiang Xun’s sake, all of our schedules have been messed up. Originally, I set aside the scheduled filming time. After filming, I would be shooting for advertisements and magazines, as well as all kinds of business activities. Everything had already been arranged. But because of Jiang Xun, my schedule was changed just like that. This made me have to rearrange the work that I had previously agreed on. I could change the schedule for some, but I could only turn down the work that didn’t fit my schedule.”

Xiuse looked at Xiangyou, who was looking down at the script. Seeing that she did not get any response from him, she turned to look at Qiyao, who had been ignored by her. “Don’t you think so? You’ve turned down quite a lot of work, haven’t you?”
