Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shuxiao took out a bag of money from the cabinet. “This is what we’re taking with us. Let’s go, we’ll leave now. Don’t pack your luggage. It’s too late to pack now. Let’s leave first. I’ve already packed some luggage. It’s enough for the two of us to deal with emergencies for the time being.”
“No, I’m not leaving.” When Jiang Xun said it, she suddenly took a step back. “I know that the city is about to fall, so I came to look for you to say goodbye.”
“What do you mean?” Shuxiao was stunned. “What do you mean you’re not leaving?”
“If you want to leave, then leave. I’ve already promised my classmates that we’ll all stay and resist! I’d rather die than submit!” Jiang Xun’s stubborn face made people really see a little girl who was hot-blooded but completely ignorant. She looked respectable and ridiculous, full of contradictions.
Jiang Xun sneered. “I’m not like you. You’re willing to sell anything for money. I will fight until the last moment for the land under my feet, until the end of my life!”
“I know that you have always looked down on me, but now is not the time for you to display your so-called ambition! You and your classmates have been protected too well. You don’t Imow what you’ll face if you stay! Die? How can death be so simple!” Shuxiao said with a smile.
Jiang Xun looked down at the money bag in Shuxiao’s hand and the clothes in her suitcase. She said disdainfully, “I don’t want to use your money! I find your clothes dirty! If you want me to live like you, I’d rather die!” After Jiang Xun finished speaking, she turned around and ran out.
Shuxiao shouted her name and chased after her.
The stage turned black, and when it lit up again, the scene changed.
Shuxiao and Jiang Xun hid in the warehouse with a few other students.
The sound of gunfire, footsteps, and human voices could be heard outside.
The students hugged each other, trembling. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were stained with dust. They were all crying.
“Sis!” Jiang Xun hugged Shuxiao, trembling in fear and crying softly.
Those people were about to come here.
Shuxiao grabbed Jiang Xun’s shoulders and pushed her away. “Don’t be afraid.”
snuxlao stood up and smiled at nang xun. Her smile was as warm as sne remembered. “This is the last time I’ll protect you. From now on, you’ll have to rely on yourself. In the future, when I’m not by your side, you must remember not to be as impulsive as before. You have read many books and know many great principles. You should know what to do.”
“Sis, what do you mean?” Jiang Xun was stunned. She sat on the ground and looked at Shuxiao helplessly.
Shuxiao smiled gently. “I haven’t heard you call me Sis in a long time.”
Shuxiao smiled as she glanced at the students in the warehouse. “All of you are the hope of the future. The future depends on all of you.” Shuxiao smiled and walked out of the warehouse.
Shuxiao’s figure was gradually engulfed by a ray of light.
The sound of cannon fire and cruel laughter could be heard outside, but Shuxiao disappeared into the light.
Jiang Xun lay on the ground and called out for her sister silently. However, she covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
Tears burst out of her eyes as she trembled from the immense pain she endured.
When the audience saw this scene, they all burst into tears.
They seemed to feel Jiang Xun’s pain, her depression and helplessness.
As for Shuxiao, she turned around to look at Jiang Xun one last time. Her smile was warm, calm, and broken.
At this point, the curtain slowly fell.
The lights in the venue were bright. When Jinyuan came on stage, Jinyuan said,
“Let’s welcome Zhou Zhaodi, Jiang Xun, and Chen Shuxiao.” When Jinyuan spoke, his voice was still muffled and slightly choked.
One could see that his eyes were still red.
“I’m sorry, I cried just now.” Jinyuan sniffed. “It’s really… It’s too painful.”
“Judges, what do you think?” Jinyuan asked.
Chengbing gestured for Zhang Lun to speak first.
Among the three directors, Zhang Lun was indeed the most experienced and had the highest status.
However, Haolun didn’t really care about this. He spoke with his strength, unlike Chengbing who was full of flattery toward Zhang Lun in every detail.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have looked for Mingguan every day for Jiang Xun’s sake and insisted that Mingguan give her a chance.
He didn’t flatter Mingguan, nor did he ignore Jiang Xun just because she was a small actress.
At this moment, Chengbing let Zhang Lun speak first, but Haolun didn’t care. It didn’t matter who spoke first.
Zhang Lun pretended to be polite for a while before pulling the microphone on the table towards him and saying, “What surprised me the most about this group’s performance was Chen Shuxiao’s smile. Chen Shuxiao had always given people the impression that she was acting in sweet dramas. However, I did not expect that she could portray the character of the big sister so well. The role of the big sister was actually that of a small love. She only loved her younger sister, and she sacrificed herself for her younger sister. However, such a small love was sublimated into a big love in the last scene.”
“Chen Shuxiao may be young, but she’s able to portray the big sister’s temperament, not bad.” Zhang Lun nodded with a smile. “Chen Shuxiao, your lines still need to be improved. You still need to practice your tone, your lines, and your enunciation.”
“Yes.” Shuxiao nodded and bowed humbly. “Thank you, Director.”
“Teacher Zhou Zhaodi’s performance was very steady, as steady as ever.” Zhang Lun smiled and praised, “I was looking forward to seeing this group’s performance, knowing Zhou Zhaodi is in this group. The roles played by Teacher Zhou have been very varied. He can play upright characters, villains, and both good and evil characters with ease. Moreover, from the underworld characters in movies and television dramas to the villains who did all kinds of bad things, to the emperors in historical dramas, loyal officials, treacherous officials, and all kinds of characters, Teacher Zhou Zhaodi’s performance has never disappointed anyone. Every character he plays is completely different from the other characters he play, so that the audience doesn’t feel like it’s an act at all.”
“It’s the same this time. The father is addicted to alcohol and gambling. He even sold his daughter. At the critical moment of life and death, he didn’t take his daughter with him. Instead, he stole her savings. Teacher Zhou vividly displayed the selfishness, craftiness, and ruthlessness of this character. Whether it’s the details of the performance, every action, every gaze, or even the grasp of the lines, it can be said to be at the textbook level,” Zhang Lun praised.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Lun gestured for Chengbing to go next. Jinyuan and the audience were stunned.
Zhang Lun evaluated Shuxiao and Zhaodi. Not only did he give Zhaodi a very high evaluation, but he also gave Shuxiao’s performance a very good affirmation..
