n496 Do You Need To Show Off Your Superiority In Front Of Us?

n“I’ve heard of Jiang’s foreign language before. She speaks it very fluently as if she has lived there for a long time,” Mingguan said. “But Director Sun and Director Ji haven’t heard it yet. Su Youlan also said some lines in foreign languages just now, so you should give it a go as well.”

nMingguan also asked Jiang Xun to repeat the lines Youlan had said.

nNot only did Jiang Xun say it fluently, but she also added expressions and emotions. It was as if she didn’t need to memorize those words at all. It was as simple and natural to her as speaking Chinese.

n“Not bad!” Mingguan nodded in satisfaction.

nYiwu was both surprised and happy. “Just now, Director Li said that your foreign language was very authentic, and I thought that he was exaggerating. I didn’t expect you to speak it so well!”

n“I went to attend the Cannes Film Festival. I walked on the side of the road and went to a restaurant to eat. I was surrounded by the locals speaking their language, and I couldn’t understand a single word. After hearing your lines, I’m reminded of the environment at that time,” Ji Cheng smiled and sighed.

n“Director Li!” Yiwu said impatiently, “Quickly get Jiang Xun to act out that part.”

nFor the sake of fairness, all the actors who auditioned for the same role were to act in the same scene.

nMingguan told Jiang Xun about it.

nJiang Xun nodded. She had memorized the script and was very familiar with that part.

n“If you’re ready, let’s start,” Mingguan said. “I’ll help you control the rhythm. The phone ringing, the knocking of the door, and the last sound of the door breaking. I’ll do those. I’ll knock hard on the table and pretend it’s the sound of the door breaking.”

n“Alright.” Jiang Xun nodded.

nMingguan silently counted to three seconds. “Begin!”

nThe sound of a phone ringing was heard after Mingguan pressed the play button.

nJiang Xun picked up the phone and Mingguan turned off the sound effects.

nHer companion on the phone hurriedly reminded Niannian to run.

n“The people of the Sixth Bureau are going to catch you. Run!”

nJiang Xun didn’t say anything and hung up the phone with a sullen expression.

nAlthough his expression was a little heavy, her movements were still calm.

nAt this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

nJiang Xun’s heart jolted, and her body trembled slightly.

nShe strode over to the window and looked out, just in time to see a member of the Sixth Bureau looking up.

nJiang Xun subconsciously dodged to the side. She turned her head slightly and looked out of the window. Her slightly lowered eyes fluttered along with her long and curled eyelashes, hiding the flickering light in her eyes that was like a candle flame.

nJiang Xun calmly walked to the position facing the door and stopped about four or five steps away.

nShe crossed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, looking calm.

nSomeone knocked on the door again, but Jiang Xun still didn’t say anything. She just stared at the door in front of her.

nMingguan suddenly knocked on the table.

nThe person outside broke in.

nJiang Xun raised her proud head and didn’t say a word, but the mockery in her eyes said more than a thousand words.

nAfter a few seconds, Jiang Xun cleared her throat. “Director, can I stop now?”

nThe silence in the air seemed to have frozen the whole room.

nMingguan and the other two came back to their senses and looked at each other. They all saw the surprise and amusement in each other’s eyes.

nIt would have been fine if only one person had been dazed, but the three of them were dazed at the same time.

nThe three of them were famous directors and had worked with many capable actors.

nIt wasn’t uncommon to be brought into the scene, but it was extremely rare to be brought into the scene during an audition!

n“Jiang Xun actually brought me into the character.” Mingguan held his forehead and shook his head with a bitter smile. “It’s like the three of us have never seen the world.”

n“When I auditioned for ‘Hell on earth’ and ‘Path of Life,’ I was in the same situation,” Jiang Xun said calmly. “It’s quite common.”

nThe three of them were speechless.

nDo you need to show off your superiority in front of us?

nYiwu asked Jiang Xun with interest, “Little Jiang, what do you think of Luo Niannian’s role? Why did you act like this? Luo Niannian should know the consequences of being caught by the Sixth Bureau. She would definitely suffer inhuman torture before going to the execution ground. This isn’t something that could be solved with death. The experience before death is the most terrifying. Why didn’t you show any fear when you were faced with an expected outcome?”

n“No, Jiang Xun has shown it.” Ji Cheng did not quite agree with Yiwu’s words. “The serious expression she had when she hung up the phone, and the initual reaction she had when she heard the first knock on the door was to subconsciously shiver. She came to the window and saw the person below. When she was discovered by the other party, she hurriedly dodged. When she lowered her eyes, her eyelids trembled, and the light in her eyes, as well as the hands that were tightly folded together when she was waiting for the door to break open, all showed that she was nervous and even afraid.”

n“Yes, I’ve also noticed,” Yiwu said. “But these are all details. The subtle movements and expressions clearly show Luo Niannian’s nervousness and even fear. However, in the end, other than this, Luo Niannian didn’t show any signs of panic. If you don’t look closely, you won’t be able to see the fear in her heart.”

n“Especially in the end, when Luo Niannian stood calmly in front of the door, waiting for the Sixth Bureau to break in,” Yiwu said. “It’s like… She had already accepted all the consequences that were about to happen. All the torture she could imagine, all the torture she could not imagine, and even her death at the very end, she has accepted them all calmly and no longer made any struggle.”

n“Her waiting is extremely dignified.” After Yiwu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Xun. “So, what do you think? To be honest, the few actors who auditioned Luo Niannian’s role before this chose to show their nervousness before Luo Niannian was arrested.”

n“I think it’s normal for Luo Niannian to be nervous. It’s understandable to act like Luo Niannian was nervous before she was captured.” Yiwu crossed his index fingers and placed them on the table in a relaxed manner, waiting for Jiang Xun’s answer.

nWhen Jiang Xun heard Yiwu and Ji Cheng’s words, she knew that if Mingguan would really choose the cast based on ability, she would definitely be selected.

nFrom Yiwu’s and Ji Cheng’s reactions and words, she could tell that they were very satisfied with her.

nJi Cheng clearly saw the meaning behind her micro-expressions and subtle movements during her performance.

nAnd for Yiwu to ask her these questions, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with her understanding.

nThe word “dignified” had already clearly expressed Yiwu’s satisfaction with her performance.

nYiwu’s understanding of Niannian’s character should be similar to hers.

nJiang Xun said, “Luo Niannian had thought through it carefully when she chose to return to China. Luo Niannian is not a girl who does things on impulse. Her experience and achievements in Europe are enough to prove this point. Before she chose to return to China, she had fully understood the situation in the country.”

n“She’s very familiar with the conflicts and wars in the country.”
