Believe in Science (Third Update)
After Liu Qi sent the little girl's photo to Director Zhang, Su Qi quickly received another call from Director Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Director Zhang directly arranged for her to film in Nanjing with her brother the day after tomorrow.
They say she was directly accepted and even skipped the audition.
And let Su Qi look at the script tomorrow and rehearse with her brother.
After hanging up the phone, Su Qi still felt a little unreal. She had actually passed?
Although this outfit suits Su Daji perfectly, is a 3 million yuan paycheck really something a complete novice like myself can handle? Su Siyang naturally heard his younger sister answer the phone, and when he heard that his sister had actually gotten the role, he was even happier than Su Qi.
After all, Su Qi Su Siyang had always wanted to make it up to Su Qi, his little sister, who had always neglected him, but his sister seemed to dislike him.
This time, he was determined to strengthen his relationship with his sister, at least to the point where she would be above his father in status.
At this moment, Liu Qi, Su Siyang's agent, slowly approached, coughed twice, and spoke to Lu Ran and Su Lujun:
"Aunt Lu, Uncle Su, this is Xiao Qi's first time acting, but even the third female lead role is still a role. She can't do without an agent, so why don't you let me take care of Xiao Qi!"
Lu Ran looked at Liu Qi with eyes full of fervor, a gaze that was exactly the same as when she first saw Su Siyang.
Lu Ran was still reassured about Liu Qi, after all, her son had already achieved considerable success. Besides his own hard work, her role as his manager deserved much credit. However, Lu Ran still reminded him, "Xiao Qi's acting this time is just for entertainment, don't try to trick her into signing with an entertainment company, and don't let her be bullied on set, etc."
At first, Su Qi could understand their conversation, but after listening for half of it Su Qi realized that there were too many technical terms that she couldn't understand.
So she took the script her brother handed her and started studying it.
After all, Su Qi's current thoughts are simple: make movies, get paid, and be a good person.
She wasn't worried about things like having an agent.
After all, when you get to the theater, you should just listen to your own brother.
Su Qi reads quickly; even without wearing Uniform Set, she finished the entire script in about 3 minutes.
Overall, the scenes involving Su Daji in this drama are actually quite few.
There are two relatively large shots -
In the beginning, King Zhou led his army to invade the Su City tribe, Su City tribe captured Su Daji.
It was offered to King Zhou.
In the ending, after King Zhou's defeat and death, Su Daji faces the Deer Terrace.
The appearances of Su Daji in the middle are all shown through small scenes, which indirectly reveal that Su Daji is a wicked concubine and cruel.
Su Siyang knew his younger sister read quickly, but seeing her put down the script after only a few minutes, he was still somewhat surprised and asked, "You've finished reading? You have to memorize these lines! Not every word needs to be perfect, but you need to get the general meaning. Of course, if you're too nervous, just get the numbers right!"
Su Qi didn't quite understand her brother's explanation, especially the last sentence.
Seeing his younger sister's slightly questioning look, Su Siyang proudly gave Su Qi a little theater trivia. He opened the script, pointed to a line from King Zhou's dialogue, and said, "Look at this line: 'If the king commands his subject to die, not dying is disloyalty. To slander the king on stage is to betray the subject's duty!' Isn't it a bit awkward? If you can't remember the actual lines on stage, you can just say 1234, 4567, 6789, 3456."
When Su Qi heard what her brother said, she was completely stunned. Now she finally understood why some TV dramas were criticized for not matching the lip movements—it turned out to be this!
Seeing his younger sister looking at him with suspicion, Su Siyang quickly defended himself, saying, "Your brother has memorized the entire script, of course he doesn't know the numbers."
Su Qi had no doubt about this, after all, he was her fourth brother. He had always been a good student, so if he couldn't even memorize a script, then it was definitely unacceptable.
After resolving the dialogue issue, Su Siyang began to teach Su Qi some acting tips, such as not having random eye movements and not having a stiff expression.
After a brief instruction, Su Siyang, playing King Zhou, began acting with his sister, Su Daji.
The so-called "rehearsing" is nothing more than going over the lines, some facial expressions and actions.
Su Qi felt that since the actor playing King Zhou was her own brother, if it were any other man, Su Qi was 100% certain that she would be taken advantage of.
During the rehearsal, Su Siyang discovered that his younger sister had actually memorized all the lines, an ability that only made him envious.
However, memorizing the lines doesn't mean Su Qi acted well. On the contrary, Su Siyang thought his younger sister's acting was even a bit terrible.
Especially when she says some grand and imposing things, her little face always turns red with excitement, which is completely contrary to the "Su Daji" character. Although the younger sister wears shady clothes and truly fits the image of Daji as a "demon concubine," her personality still deviates somewhat from the Su Daji.
Su Siyang discovered the problem, Su Qi could naturally sense it herself as well.
After all, the burning sensation on her face was unmistakable. Just as Su Qi was racking her brains for a solution, she heard the System Girl's crisp, clear voice:
Hearing the System Girl's words, Su Qi's eyes lit up. Right, how could she have forgotten about that?
Then, Su Siyang saw his younger sister and suddenly said, "Brother, I'm going back to my room to think about it."
Then it ran back to its room, which puzzled Su Siyang.
Was my tone a little too harsh just now? No, it wasn't.
Su Qi was unaware that after she returned to her room, her brother fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Su Qi opened the Green Treasure interface on her phone, and the system store quickly popped up.
Afterwards, Su Qi browsed the System Girl's jewelry interface for the first time.
Looking at the items on the phone screen, each one sparkling clean, it was quite a sight—time had passed for Su.
Qi is having some difficulty making a choice.
Moreover, the price range is quite large, ranging from the cheapest simple bracelet that can be bought for as little as 3,000 yuan to the most expensive crown that costs 1.2 million yuan.
Each piece of jewelry has a unique effect, and looking at the 100-page product page made Su Qi suffer from decision paralysis.
After spending half an hour choosing, a pair of earrings suddenly caught Su Qi's eye.
Ning Ling Earrings: Legend has it that these were once worn by Su Daji. Therefore, they are said to carry a trace of Su Daji's aura, potentially giving the wearer a touch of the "femme fatale" air.
After reading this introduction, Su Qi was a little scared and asked the System Girl:
"System, will I be possessed if I wear this?"
Upon hearing Su Qi's concerns, the System Girl confidently said, "Host, don't worry. Possession is something only books can do. You have to believe in science!"
