Chapter 1906 Love Rivals Meet Again (2)
Jiang Ying admitted that she was elated after hearing such a standard answer with high emotional intelligence.
However, her gossip heart was not satisfied!
And Su Jianan told her with a calm and calm look: No one can get the answer to the question she doesn't want to answer.
"Okay, I give up..."
Jiang Ying took the script from Su Jianan dejectedly, opened it and read it carefully - even though she had read it many times.
Jiang Ying stopped making noises, the rest room became quiet, and Su Jianan also fell into deep thought.
To be more precise, Su Jianan was thinking back - thinking back to the scene when she and Han Ruoxi met ten minutes ago.
It’s fun to say——
In fact, whether it was six years ago or now, it can be said that Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi have never faced each other head-on.
However, their incompatible relationship is well known. There are detailed popular science posts on the Internet about their grievances and resentments.
This time, the reason why Jiang Ying and Han Ruoxi competed for the same role attracted such widespread attention has to do with the past grievances between Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi.
It seems that no one does not think that the place where Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi met today must be a battlefield without smoke.
But in fact, Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi were both calm.
Especially Han Ruoxi - her calmness was completely beyond Su Jianan's expectation.
You know, when Su Jianan and Lu Boyan first got married, because Lu Boyan said, "I will divorce her in two years," Han Ruoxi was dismissive of Su Jianan, as if Su Jianan was just an accident that suddenly broke into Lu Boyan's life. It will disappear automatically after a while.
Later, more and more reports about Lu Boyan and Su Jianan's deep love as husband and wife became popular on the Internet, and Han Ruoxi began to face Su Jianan seriously and target Su Jianan. But Su Jianan could still feel that Han Ruoxi, who was a popular superstar with a bright future at that time, still didn't take her seriously.
In the past, Han Ruoxi was confident, arrogant and arrogant.
Four years later, when she met Su Jian'an, her "old rival" again, she unexpectedly did not maintain her arrogant attitude, but took the initiative and nodded to Su Jian'an gently...
Could it be that time has worn away Han Ruoxi's edges?
This possibility is too small.
A proud person is always proud in her heart, and nothing can easily erase her pride.
What's more, Han Ruoxi is indeed proud of herself.
So, what made Han Ruoxi take the initiative to lower her stance?
Just when Su Jianan was puzzled, there was a knock on the door, and then the door to the lounge was pushed open. Someone poked his head in and said, "Director Su, Miss Jiang, we are ready to start. Please follow me."
Su Jianan recovered her thoughts, stood up with Jiang Ying, and followed Director Zhang's assistant.
The two were taken into a spacious room.
In a room of nearly thirty square meters, there is only a long table and a few chairs not far from the door, which should be the judges' bench; diagonally opposite the judges' bench, there are several sofas against the wall for artist managers and assistants to rest. . There was nothing else in the room. Directly opposite the judges' seat is a spacious enough space for actors who come to audition to display their acting skills.
"Director Su, Miss Jiang, please take a seat first." The director's assistant said, "Director Zhang and the assistant director will be here soon."
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Director Zhang, the assistant director, and several larger investors came in. Han Ruoxi followed the group of people, her steps were calm, her posture was calm, and there was no sign of nervousness at all.
However, Han Ruoxi really has nothing to be nervous about - acting is her specialty.
Su Jianan silently held Jiang Ying's hand and motioned her to come on with her eyes.
Jiang Ying nodded and smiled relaxedly at Su Jianan.
The director and investors took their seats at the judges' table. Han Ruoxi and her agent also walked to the sofa next to Su Jianan and Jiang Ying, but did not sit down.
Director Zhang casually glanced at the room and said, "Let's get started. Ruoxi, you come first."
"Okay. Thank you, Director Zhang."
Han Ruoxi walked calmly to the front of the judges' table, smiled and greeted the judges, and could vaguely see her shadow from six years ago - her confident posture when she was popular, and her animal-like aggression.
Everyone present could feel that Han Ruoxi was very confident in herself and was determined to win this role.
Her agent glanced at Jiang Ying and seemed to snort, with contempt in his eyes, as if he was trying to tell Jiang Ying: In front of Han Ruoxi, Jiang Ying, a young newcomer who has only acted in a few TV shows, is simply incompetent. The threat is palpable.
Jiang Ying admitted that she was indeed shocked by Han Ruoxi's aura.
There are currently not many young actors in China who can achieve that kind of confident posture that is easy to control when in front of the camera.
Acting - Han Ruoxi is indeed professional.
Su Jianan didn't know if Director Zhang intended to arrange it this way, but she was certain that if Han Ruoxi started to perform first, it would put Jiang Ying under greater psychological pressure.
She held Jiang Ying's hand harder and said in a voice that only she and Jiang Ying could hear: "The more this happens, the less you will be affected."
Jiang Ying met Su Jianan's gaze and saw a hint of determination in Su Jianan's eyes - even if Han Ruoxi was overwhelming and determined to win, Su Jianan still believed that she would become the final winner.
She couldn't mess up her position and betray Su Jianan's trust.
"Um!"
Jiang Ying knew that Han Ruoxi's performance could influence others, so she simply closed her eyes and chose not to listen or watch, but silently recited her lines.
It seemed like only a minute had passed, and it seemed as long as an hour. Jiang Ying felt Su Jianan patting her hand. She opened her eyes and heard Su Jianan say: "It's your turn."
Jiang Ying's mind went blank for a second before she realized-
It's time for her to perform.
After doing enough mental preparation, Jiang Ying stood up, walked to a position five or six meters in front of the judges' seat, bowed to the judges, and said, "I'm starting."
After the words fell, Jiang Ying started her performance smoothly.
Su Jianan stared intently at Jiang Ying, who appeared without makeup. The moment she smiled greenly and yearningly, she knew that Jiang Ying could impress Director Zhang with her acting skills and appropriate image.
She briefly cast her gaze at the judges' seat. Sure enough, Director Zhang was stunned, and several investors also showed expressions of appreciation.
When she looked back, Su Jianan saw Han Ruoxi and her manager out of the corner of her eye.
The manager was playing with his cell phone with his head down and was dismissive of Jiang Ying's performance. On the contrary, Han Ruoxi looked at it very seriously and showed sincere appreciation like the judges.
It's okay not to look at it, but Su Jianan was confused again——
Han Ruoxi actually appreciates others?
When acting, Han Ruoxi is still the same Han Ruoxi six years ago. However, once she got out of the performance state, Han Ruoxi was completely different from the Han Ruoxi she was six years ago.
When Su Jianan was stunned, Jiang Ying's performance had ended.
Director Zhang came to his senses after a while and said, "Jiang Ying, Ruoxi, you go back to your respective lounges first. We need to discuss it before telling you the result."
As soon as she returned to the lounge, Jiang Ying slapped her chest, took Su Jianan's hand and asked: "Sister Jian An, sister Jian An, how did I perform?... Do you think I have any chance of winning?"
"..."
Su Jianan didn't know how to tell Jiang Ying that she didn't pay much attention to the second half of her performance. But the odds of winning - she had always believed that even if the competitor was Han Ruoxi, Jiang Ying had a great chance of winning.
"Sister Jian An, let me tell you my intuitive feelings, don't be angry -" Jiang Ying said, "Actually, Han Ruoxi's acting skills are really good, and there is a lot worth learning for me - but only for her acting skills!"
"This is a fact." Su Jian'an smiled and pulled Jiang Ying to sit down. "It's over now. Don't think so much. Just wait for the result."
Jiang Ying couldn't sit still at all, pacing back and forth in the lounge, occasionally stopping to bite her fingers and think in thought.
Su Jianan understood Jiang Ying's mood and did not force her to sit down. She took out her phone and found that she had received a message from Lu Boyan a few minutes ago, asking her if the results were out.
"It's over. The result still needs to wait." Su Jianan replied, "I discovered a strange thing..."
Less than five seconds after the message was sent, the phone rang. Su Jianan was startled. Looking carefully, it was indeed Lu Boyan's call. She picked up the call, but before she could speak, Lu Boyan's voice came:
"What's weird?"
Su Jianan realized belatedly that her simple words aroused Lu Boyan's worry.
He probably thought that Han Ruoxi was once involved with Kang Ruicheng, right?
Hey, why do you suddenly feel a little sweet?
"It's not something dangerous, don't worry." Su Jianan reassured Lu Boyan with one sentence, and then said, "I will tell you slowly when I get back."
"Yeah." Lu Boyan paused and warned, "Remember what I said."
It’s just that sentence – if anything seems strange, contact him as soon as possible!
Su Jianan nodded obediently: "I'll always remember it, don't worry~"
Lu Boyan said "hmm" and finally hung up the phone.
Su Jianan locked the screen of her phone and turned it slowly, thoughtfully.
Jiang Ying came over and looked at Su Jian'an meaningfully: "Sister Jian An, was it Mr. Lu who called just now?"
"Yeah." Su Jianan poked Jiang Ying's head, "As a female star, you shouldn't be so gossipy."
"Female celebrities are human beings too, and they gossip." Jiang Ying finally sat down and sighed, "Sister Jian An, I hope I can be half as lucky as you. If I find someone half as good as Mr. Lu, I will be happy." Satisfied!"
"Your expectations for yourself are too simple." Su Jianan said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone will have their own luck - complete luck that belongs only to her."
Just as Jiang Ying was savoring Su Jianan's words, the door to the lounge was opened and Director Zhang came in from the outside.
Jiang Ying and Su Jianan stood up together: "Director Zhang!"
