Sigh, I wonder what kind of part-time job this Amy is going to take me to. I hope she won't be as embarrassed as last time!
The next day, Xia Zhitong went out early while her mother and sister were still asleep. Her father's birthday party was scheduled for six o'clock in the evening, so she had to rush home before that time.
When they arrived at the meeting place, Amy said to Xia Zhitong with a smile," This time, I'll leave the good role for you. It's 500 yuan a day! That small character of mine with a background like that of human flesh is only 80 yuan a day, 555555. When you become rich in the future, you must treat me to a meal, understand?”
"Character? What role?" Xia Zhitong was always confused by Amy.
"It's the role of an extra.”Amy pulled Xia Zhitong toward a photography building as she explained," My dad's lousy little management company recently accepted a contract for all the extras in a big show. There are tons of roles for you to choose from, so of course I saved the best for you! If you do well, you can come back next time to earn extra money.”
Xia Zhitong listened to Amy's explanation, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were already standing in the studio.
"The second scene of 'Abandoned Concubine', acton!”
As the director shouted the start, the gorgeous palace scene in front of him seemed to come to life immediately. There were beautiful women in the palace, with thick makeup on their faces. Each of them was competing with each other. Coupled with the gorgeous clothes, every piece was hand-carved and beautiful. Looking at this scene, it was as if they were in ancient times. Little Tong, are you stunned?" Amy explained," Wait a minute. You'll be playing a showgirl who participated in the preliminary selection. She's good at dancing, but she's very scheming. In the first episode, she slapped our third female lead, Shuyao, out of jealousy. She'll be the Consort Shu later in the show. I see that you have a foundation in dancing, so I recommend you to play this role!”
Amy pulled Xia Zhitong over to the director and introduced her in an exaggerated manner." Director, this is Xia Zhitong, whom I talked to you about on the phone last night. She's very good. She knows all kinds of dances, from the Ballet, to the hip-hop, to the waltz, and even the elegant and vulgar ones! You're too stingy to give such a talent only 500 yuan. If it weren't for my classmate, I really wouldn't be willing to let her film!”
The director, who was smoking on the recliner, sized up Xia Zhitong's slender figure and nodded." Alright, let her try it!”
After hearing that the director had decided to use her, Xia Zhitong happily went backstage with Amy to the changing room.
Just as they turned around, everyone on the set rushed to the entrance of the studio.
"Wow, it's the big star, Xue Li, and…the female newbies who are playing the second and third female roles!”When the reporters who had been waiting on the set saw that the lead actor had arrived, they completely ignored Xia Zhitong and Amy, who were standing in the middle of the set, and almost knocked the two of them to the ground.
" Hey, can you guys please open your eyes? Don't be so snobbish. When you see a big star…" Amy complained, but Xia Zhitong's face turned as white as a sheet the moment she turned her head.
Because…
The third female lead was his sister, Xia Yinxue!
Everyone is anxious, the male pig trotter is about to appear again, hehe!
Xia Zhitong would never have dreamed that the character she was going to act in, even though it was only a few short scenes and only a few lines, would be acting with her younger sister.
She was the main character, while he was an unknown small character.
" Xiao Tong, if you don't want to act, you can tell me. It's so awkward to act like a stranger with your sister for 500 yuan…" Amy said with concern when she saw Xia Zhitong's worried expression in the dressing room.
Xia Zhitong shook her head and held onto her costume." No, I need money, so I have to act.”
She fixed her gaze on the gorgeous silk brocade dress. Although she was slender, there was a kind of unyielding spirit between her brows.
A pair of dangerous black eyes peered through the slightly opened door, and a cold smile reflected in his deep eyes. Although he had been looking for her for the whole day, he was not in a hurry to barge in and take her away at this time.
Because he still had a good show to watch!
" Hey, that extra, why isn't the girl who played Lingshan done yet…" the script supervisor urged.
Suddenly, a pair of delicate hands as white as jade pulled open the dark curtains, and a beautiful woman walked out. She was wearing an emerald green gauze dress, and her face was as pure as white jade. Although her hair was simple, it was fresh and refined. Her pair of beautiful eyes were bright as if they were made of water, and they were lively and untainted by the world.
All the actors were stunned by her unique temperament. The reporters, the director, and…a pair of surprised and jealous beautiful eyes.
Xia Yinxue, who was reciting her lines on the recliner, was dressed in a luxurious silk gown. She threw down the script in her hand, and her eyes were wide open with anger as she bit her red lips.
"Who is this actor? Unknown origin…I'm afraid she's not professional! You're a burden to the production team." Xia Yinxue's sharp voice broke the silence on set. She said coquettishly to the director," I don't want to rehearse with her later.”
Xue Li, who was touching up her makeup at the side, smiled coldly and acted as if nothing had happened. It was as if she was used to Xia Yinxue's reckless behavior.
The director said impatiently," Sigh, it's just an extra. There aren't many scenes. It's just a dance in front of the emperor later, then a scene where he bullies you, and then he's forced to commit suicide by the empress. Xiaoxue, don't take it too seriously. How can a professional actor be willing to take on such a small scene?"”
Xia Yinxue's face darkened. She crossed her arms and took a deep breath. She lifted her head arrogantly and smiled at Xia Zhitong." What a great extra. Why should I be calculative with such a useless person?!"”
Xia Zhitong clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her anger. What she wanted was to earn money quickly and not argue with Xia Yinxue.
The first segment was the first audition for the role of a court beauty. Xia Zhitong was playing the role of a beauty who wanted to make a name for herself. Her graceful and flirtatious dance moves were stunning and charming under her agile performance. Her affectionate eyes made this unremarkable role look so real that even the director was surprised by her speaking eyes and kept praising her secretly!
"Oh, perfect! Next round!" The director clapped his hands in praise.
After this scene, Xia Yinxue's expression turned even worse, because she felt that Xia Zhitong had already stolen everyone's attention.
The second scene was about Xia Zhitong's character, Ling Shan, who had been exposed for poisoning the rouge of all the beautiful girls in the middle of the night. Because Xia Yinxue's character, Shuyao, had seen through her disguise, Ling Shan slapped Shuyao in anger!
" Lingshan, how could you do this? Ever since I entered the palace, I have always treated you as my best sister. How could you…" Xia Yinxue's exaggerated performance made everyone feel nauseous. She could not squeeze out any tears. Even though she had applied eye drops, her 'tears' were like a fountain, devoid of emotion.
Xia Zhitong pushed Xia Yinxue away. She had always given off the impression of a weak person, but her expression changed. Her eyes turned cold, and she looked at Xia Yinxue with a sharp gaze. She said sarcastically," Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me. Once you enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea. It's impossible for you to have friends here. Anyone who tries to stop me from succeeding will not have a good ending!"”
All of a sudden, Xia Zhitong raised her delicate hand and waved it at Xia Yinxue…
Using the camera, her hand brushed past Xia Yinxue's face.
Just as everyone was in awe of Xia Zhitong's performance, Xia Yinxue snatched the 'poison' from Xia Zhitong's hands and threw it on the ground. She then slapped Xia Zhitong's face in front of everyone!
"Pa!" A loud voice shook the entire set. A few drops of blood fell on the ground…
It wasn't the blood that was produced by the props, but the blood that looked like the blooming of a plum blossom!
