Chapter 718: You Refuse To Work Hard, And You Still Blame Jiang Xun For Being Too Outstanding?

[Who still remembers that in “In Position, Shoot,” Jiang Xun’s scenes were deleted, and then some netizens uploaded the performance clips they filmed? Jiang Xun’s role in “Under The Starry Sky” is from the same era. However, in that movie, Jiang Xun acted as a proud and willful student who knew nothing and thought she understood the sufferings of the world, but did not care about her sister’s efforts at all. She was completely different from Luo Niannian. They were both played by the same person, but when I looked at Luo Niannian,
I couldn’t remember the younger sister that Jiang Xun had played before.]
[That’s why Jiang Xun’s acting skills are good. Even if both are works from the same era, and she was dressed similarly, but the acting was not the same at all.]
[I just read a film review. Jiang Xun’s performance is like stringing two different works together. In the deleted performance clip of “In Position, Shoot,” the younger sister that Jiang Xun played, who was too idealistic at first, did not understand her older sister. In the end, when she saw her older sister sacrifice herself to save her, the moment her older sister looked back, her eyes became determined and sensible. After she became sensible, she became Luo
Niannian.]
[Oh my god! It really looks like it can be strung together.]
[It’s more like a story about her previous life. In her previous life, as a younger sister, she wasn’t sensible enough and caused the death of her older sister. In this life, the sister had become the ideal of the human world, Luo Niannian.] Youlan had never expected that her performance in “Under the Starry Sky” would not have any effect at all.
No one praised her acting. Even when the netizens recommended “Under The Starry Sky,” very few people mentioned her.
Occasionally, someone would mention that Youlan’s performance was average and not particularly eye-catching.
Compared to Jiang Xun, Qiyao, and Xiangyou, who had outstanding performances, it was really not too good.
[Su Youlan can’t compare to Jiang Xun, but that’s understandable. After all, in every audition so far, Su Youlan has never surpassed Jiang Xun. But Su Youlan is at least a film actor, even though she did a TV drama, it was only one.
Returning to the big screen again, she couldn’t even outshine Zhang Qiyao and
Zhang Xiangyou. It’s really unacceptable.]
[I remember Su Youlan’s acting was pretty good in the past, how did it suddenly become so terrible?]
[Actually, it’s not necessarily that her acting has become worse. It might have always been like this. However, she had never acted in a group movie like “Under The Starry Sky” before. Most of the actors who acted with her are of the same age. Occasionally, she would work with a senior, but there were only a few important roles in the movie. Even if the senior acted better than her, it was just because they were her senior. Compared to other young actors, her acting was not bad. That didn’t make her look bad.]
[Besides, hasn’t Su Youlan always been promoting her acting skills? All those praises about her acting skills are from marketing accounts and are mentioned in press releases. It’s because we had seen too many of these statements that we had been brainwashed to subconsciously feel that her acting skills were good. Actually, if you watched her movies in the past, you would find that her acting skills had not changed much. In other words, her acting skills are actually average, or you could say they are mediocre, without any outstanding aspects. ]
[It’s true. When she was the captain of the team in “In Position, Shoot,” her team was full of newcomers, and it even highlighted her acting skills. However, in “Under The Starry Sky,” everyone is a big shot. Even if she bought a marketing account and published a press release, she would not be able to do much.]
Youlan read through the comments and reviews of the netizens one by one. The more she read, the angrier she became.
Sister Yuan saw that Youlan seemed to be possessed, staring at her phone every day, so she advised, “Don’t mind these comments. The more you care about them, the more you can’t help but read them. You’ve earned the money, so who cares what these people say?
Youlan gritted her teeth and threw her phone to the side. “But now they’re saying that my acting skills are worse than Zhang Qiyao and Zhang Xiangyou’s. I can’t stand it. Who do Zhang Qiyao and Zhang Xiangyou think they are? How dare they compare to me!”
“The two of them only stood out this time in ‘Under The Starry Sky.’ Actually, they aren’t that outstanding. It was just that they had made great progress compared to before,” Sister Yuan said. “It’s just that their performance in the past was too ordinary, giving the audience the impression that they could only act in idol dramas. Their sudden change in character gave the audience a huge impact and made the audience feel that their performance was very eye-catching.”
“This is a bit like the reason that Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing gave Jiang Xun previously. Actually, it’s not entirely made up by the two of them,” Sister Yuan said. “It’s precisely because there’s a huge contrast and improvement compared to before that it left a deep impression on people. On the contrary, your performance is always on point. It was your normal performance, but no one mentioned it. Don’t take this matter too seriously.”
Youlan gritted her teeth and said, “But Jiang Xun is also praised for her acting skills. This time, she’s praised again.” Sister Yuan was speechless. n0𝐕𝞮𝔩𝑢𝓈𝔅.𝒞0𝓜
What should she say?
Could she tell Youlan that her acting skills were indeed the same as before, but she hadn’t improved either?
Compared to Jiang Xun, Youlan was even worse?
She couldn’t tell Youlan that!
Sister Yuan didn’t know what to say to Youlan.
Anyway, Youlan had already developed a sense of rivalry with Jiang Xun. No matter what she said, Youlan would not listen.
“Does Jiang Xun have any work arrangements recently?” Youlan suddenly asked.
Sister Yuan was speechless.
She was not Jiang Xun’s manager, and Jiang Xun was not an artist under the company. Why would she pay attention to Jiang Xun’s work arrangements?
“I really don’t know.” Sister Yuan asked, “What are you think about?”
“I just want to see what work arrangements she has and what programs she wants to appear on. I’ll go too,” Youlan said. “I don’t believe that I can’t beat her in every aspect.”
Sister Yuan was speechless.
Calm down a bit.
“Youlan, why do we have to make such a fuss?” Sister Yuan said helplessly, “The two of you are going in different directions. You can develop in the direction that we set in the beginning. There won’t be any problems. Why do you have to fight with her in areas where you are not proficient?”
“Did you notice that she is praised for what she was good at and smart enough to avoid everything that she was not good at?” Sister Yuan said, “So you don’t have to compare yourself to her. You just have to do your job well and excel in what you’re good at.”
“But she clearly never danced before, but didn’t she also manage to dance the Jinghong Dance?” Youlan asked.
Sister Yuan: “What can we do? Do you want to work hard?”
You refuse to work hard, and you still blame Jiang Xun for being too outstanding?
Sister Yuan really couldn’t stand Youlan anymore..
