586 There’s No Internal Ranking
Jixuan laughed bitterly. “With her relationship with Gu Xiaoze, it’s hard not to suspect her.”
“Especially when she’s willing to make the Jiang family suffer in order to please the Gu family. It’s not like she hasn’t done such a thing before.” Jixuan said with a headache, “She’s such a muddleheaded person. She thinks she’s smart. In fact, she’s selfish and stupid. She thinks that doing this is good for herself, but she doesn’t think that the Jiang family’s losses will be good for her.”
“She and the Jiang family are bound together for good or bad. The Jiang family and the Gu family are on par now, and even the Gu family dares to look down on her. If the Jiang family is suppressed by the Gu family, it won’t be good. The Gu family won’t show her any face.” When Jixuan mentioned Yuexi, he was angry and depressed.
It was such a simple logic, but why couldn’t Yuexi understand?
She wouldn’t listen no matter what he said.
She always misinterpreted other people’s good intentions.
Yuexi refused to listen to Jiang Xun’s words, but when he tried to persuade her, she said that he had been brainwashed and deceived by her.
Instead of being nice to his sister, Yuexi, he was on Jiang Xun’s side.
But Jixuan was extremely angry.
He didn’t know how Yuexi’s brain worked or what was inside it. Why was it so different?
“Whether it’s her or not, you’ll just need to test and see.” Jiang Xun said.
After she finished speaking to Jixuan, Jiang Xun ignored Chengye and left.
“Sister, let’s have lunch together?” Jixuan said.
Jiang Xun glanced at Chengye. “Maybe next time.”
It was obvious that she didn’t want to go with him because Chengye was there.
Chengye was speechless.
Jiang went back to school, but she didn’t expect to be invited to a variety show not long after “My Other Half” ended.
“This time, it’s a variety show that focuses on performance and competition.” Yicheng said excitedly, “It’s Xingke Station’s new variety show. It’s led by a director, a capable middle-age actor, and a capable new-age actor. They’ll lead their respective teams in a PK. The three team leaders will also participate in the performance. There are also three other well-known directors as judges. However, we still don’t know who the three team leaders and the three director judges are yet. The production team is in a confidential stage and would only be announced during the final official announcement stage. It can be said that it has whetted the appetites of the netizens. However, at Xingke Station’s press conference, they gave some hints that it will be a very famous director.”
“After all, the three team leaders are quite well-known. They can’t just find three directors randomly. They must be at least famous directors,” Yicheng said.
“What about the three leaders? Have they been announced?” Jiang Xun asked.
“No, they’re quite unyielding. They won’t tell us who the leaders are no matter how we ask. They only said that they won’t disappoint the audience.” When Yicheng mentioned this, he pouted. “If it wasn’t for the fact that Xingke Station’s variety shows are pretty good and have a large audience base, I really wouldn’t want to deal with Xingke Station. They all have very tough attitudes.”
“But it’s just that Feng Videos don’t have its own TV station. It can only livestream. Otherwise, Feng Videos’ variety shows would all beat Xingke Station.” Yicheng thought of the attitude of the people from Xingke Station, who were his acquaintances, and felt angry.
“What’s wrong? Their attitudes aren’t very good?” Jiang Xun frowned. “If it’s not good, then I won’t take it. Anyway, I don’t have to act in it. It’s not like Xingke Station is the only option.”
“Ay, I was just thinking of promoting your acting skills. This is to prevent people from questioning your acting skills every time you compete for a role or participate in a big production. They would use the excuse that you don’t have a professional background. With your strength, as long as you perform steadily, you’ll be able to have an instant kill in seconds and let the audience see your acting skills.”
“I’ve asked about this variety show in detail. They’ll film the guests’ usual backstage practice and their understanding of the role. Also, you’ll be performing on stage, which is a bit like a play.” Yicheng said, “You can’t have NGs for a live performance. The audience will be able to see your performance, right?”
“Some people can use the excuse of filming a movie to say you can have bad takes, repeatedly perform, or get the director to teach the play step by step and talk about it, to deny your ability. This time, you would directly perform it on stage for everyone to see! Let them see if you need to take a few shots to pass! Let them see what kind of natural and smooth performance it is!”
“The point is, among similar variety shows on the market, Xingke Station has the highest ratings and most people pay to watch it. Moreover, many actors were originally unknown, and they had made their mark through their variety shows. You don’t need to rely on their variety show to increase your popularity now. However, the most amazing thing about this variety show is that as long as you have acting skills and act well, you will definitely be recognized by the audience. When you come out of this variety show, whenever the audience mentions you in the industry, the first thing they’ll think of isn’t your popularity, but your ability and good acting skills! I’ve always wanted to label you as a capable person with good acting skills. This is a great opportunity,” Yicheng explained.
“As for Xingke Station’s attitude, it’s not that bad.” Yicheng said, “It’s just that I can clearly feel that they’re relying on the popularity of their variety show, so they feel a little high and mighty. It’s as if it’s an honor for others to be on their variety show. They’re so happy that they can’t wait to please them.”
“I’m also used to getting along with the people from Feng Videos. They’re easy-going and professional, and they say whatever they want. They don’t look down on others just because their show is popular. But thinking about it, I was being unreasonable.” Yicheng smiled and said, “Isn’t this the job of a manager? When we’re working, we’ll meet all kinds of people. How can we always meet people who make us feel comfortable?”
Jiang Xun thought for a while and said, “Brother Wang, if Xingke Station’s attitude is like that, then we might as well not participate. Just as they don’t need me as a guest, I don’t need a variety show from them.”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t quit just because of what I’ve said. This is a good opportunity, let’s go and try.” Yicheng said, “I want you to participate so badly not only because it’s a performance variety show, but also because Xingke Station has promised that there’s no script for this variety show, and there’s no internal ranking.”
