Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 273 Jiang Nian's Guidance

Jiang Nian just wants to say: Hehe, you guys have no background and no looks, dream on.

"Okay, then we'll keep in touch when we have time."

"Okay, Teacher Jiang Nian!"

After saying goodbye to Tang Youyou, Jiang Nian went straight to the film set.

Tang Youyou, on the other hand, gripped the book in her hand with trepidation, took a deep breath, and looked firmly in the opposite direction from Jiang Nian.

Today, she's going to participate in the filming of an advertisement for a show called "iPartment".

This is her first opportunity, and she must seize it!

She didn't have confidence to begin with.

But after seeing Jiang Nian just now.

Tang Youyou, whose confidence seemed to have been ignited by Jiang Nian's few words, felt full of confidence.

She always felt that Jiang Nian possessed endless magic that could dispel all her worries and fears.

"This time I'll definitely succeed! I'm sure I'll get the chance to shoot this commercial!"

Tang Youyou strode confidently toward the filming location of the "iPartment" commercial.

At that time, in the small room of the small theater where she went to film, the space was no more than ten square meters.

Wei Zheng, an unknown director who is destined to become a super director, is pacing back and forth with an anxious expression.

This was the first good opportunity he received.

If the film is successful, he will receive a fee, which will help him overcome the current economic crisis and even make a small profit.

But if he fails, he will probably have to leave the entertainment industry completely.

At this moment, Wei Zheng was extremely anxious and flustered:

"Hopefully someone will be willing to come and film it..."

I thought that since the pay for his small advertisements was low, only 100 yuan a day, no one would be willing to shoot them.

After all, the effort and time spent are not worth it for an actor in the entertainment industry.

But his requirements are very high.

Many extras, upon hearing his conditions—a mere 100 yuan a day, plus acting skills exceeding a certain standard—immediately cursed and left.

This caused Wei Zheng great distress.

"What if they can't even find an actor in the end?"

At this moment, Wei Zheng already had a 'perverted' idea in his mind.

If there's really no one else, he'll go on stage dressed as a woman.

If the makeup artist is skilled enough, the audience definitely won't be able to tell that he's actually a man.

"Yes, you absolutely can't tell. No matter what, we have to make this money!"

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the doorway in disbelief.

The next second, he rushed to the door with delight and opened it.

There stood a cute little girl at the door, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, clearly startled by his actions.

"Excuse me, are you the director of the 'iPartment' commercials?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Wei Zheng said excitedly.

"Hello director, I'm Tang Youyou, an actress here to audition for the commercial."

Tang Youyou said.

Wei Zheng quickly began to vividly describe the current situation of his advertisement.

He became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing wildly, his eyes filled with hope, as if he were sketching out a magnificent blueprint.

Tang Youyou's eyes lit up as she listened, and she greatly admired the director's ideas.

"That's fantastic! Director, your idea is so interesting, it's bound to be a hit!"

Tang Youyou praised excitedly.

Her praise was genuine and heartfelt.

She admitted that she was really attracted to the idea; it was brilliant.

Upon hearing Tang Youyou's praise, Wei Zheng instantly became happy, and his back straightened considerably.

This is one of the few times he has received recognition, as a young director who has just started out.

Such recognition is extremely rare and precious.

However, when it came to the question of how he would repay Tang Youyou, Wei Zheng hesitated, but he still had to say what needed to be said.

"Um, Tang Youyou..."

"Director, I'm here!"

Tang Youyou said in a quirky and clever way.

“Miss Tang Youyou, I still need to speak to you seriously.”

"Although our pay is indeed not much, my requirements are..."

"Just like the requirements made by advertisers."

"What we need is a one-shot take."

"You need to memorize lines and scripts ranging from six thousand to ten thousand words, and make them your own."

"Then perform it from beginning to end in one go, without making a single mistake in between."

"If one of them appears, we'll overturn everything and start all over again."

"The workload and pressure are enormous."

"But right now, I can only offer you one hundred a day for this fee."

"I don't know if you can accept that?"

When Wei Zheng talked about his final payment, his voice became as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and his face turned red.

He himself knew that the salary he was paid was far too little.

That's absolutely shameless! What kind of director would say something like that? Tang Youyou's expression was also constantly changing.

She really liked the idea, the script, and the opportunity to shoot the commercial.

But the pay is really too low, and the demands are so high.

But considering that the total duration of this advertisement is no more than ten minutes.

With a little effort, you can memorize the entire script, recite the lines word for word, and practice repeatedly.

That way, my skill level will definitely improve significantly.

In their future acting careers, they will surely experience significant growth and change.

Perhaps this is a test from God.

Tang Youyou encouraged herself, slowly cheering herself up.

Such opportunities are actually quite rare.

Especially now that all students are rushing to find jobs, the competition is incredibly fierce.

This opportunity is hard-won; if I don't seize it, I'll never have another chance.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Youyou swallowed and took a deep breath.

He said firmly:
"Director, I'll shoot."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's face immediately lit up with a smile, but after only a second, he became somewhat embarrassed and said:

"Miss Tang Youyou, we still need to do an audition."

"If your acting skills aren't up to par, I'm really sorry, but I still can't use you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Youyou's lips twitched slightly.

She finally understood why people online had given this director such terrible reviews that they were speechless.

She finally understood.

Even someone as carefree as her couldn't help but want to swear a few times at this moment.

But he still gritted his teeth and said:

"Director, let's give it a try."

"it is good!"

Wei Zheng said earnestly.

Then, he immediately followed his previous interview process.

He presented Tang Youyou with his shooting requirements, the desired effect, and a small portion of the script, asking her to demonstrate them one by one for the audition.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nian was on set.

He had planned to take some time to learn martial arts.

If anyone needs guidance, I'll offer a few words.

Jiang Nian didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he would see Taylor Swift being criticized by Li Ruotong. "Miss Taylor Swift, it's not that I'm being rude to you, but do you think your acting skills are up to par?"

"What was that performance just now? If you keep acting like this, neither of us will be able to get through today."

"It's even possible that this drama won't be able to be released."

"Even if it is successfully filmed and released, it will definitely be criticized by the audience for its acting problems, and the final rating will plummet."

"We've all become a laughing stock."

"This show will be ruined because of this."

"Can you really accept this outcome?"

Li Ruotong said she didn't want to blame anyone, but her words were sharp and hurtful, making Taylor Swift blush.

Especially with so much attention on her, her self-esteem was greatly damaged.

As a top spy.

Especially the top spies trained in North India.

She was also showered with all kinds of pampering.

After all, the spy mission she was to carry out was not the kind that involved going deep into dangerous areas.

Instead, she uses her beauty to gain benefits.

Therefore, in her daily life, North India's approach to her upbringing was not only gentle.

Furthermore, she was provided with various high-end services and enjoyments, ensuring that she wouldn't be blinded by the glitz and glamour of this upscale lifestyle.

This makes me feel somewhat out of touch.

But now that I've suddenly entered the acting world, no one cares about your background.

If you have good acting skills, you're a king; if you have bad acting skills, you're a flop and will be criticized.

Unless you're really that amazing that you have a super director backing you up.

But Li Ruotong now not only has a great reputation, but also has strong backing.

That's why she dared to point at Taylor Swift so arrogantly and lecture her.

Even Li Tiansheng, standing to the side, was wiping cold sweat from his forehead, silently standing aside, wanting to interject but hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, how could Jiang Nian not understand what was going on?

"Director, what's wrong?"

Jiang Nian asked.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, you've arrived!"

Li Tiansheng exclaimed in surprise, his eyes shining as if he had seen a savior.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, you've come at just the right time."

"Miss Taylor Swift has hit a roadblock and might need your help."

Jiang Nian nodded.

At the same time, Li Ruotong and Taylor Swift both looked over.

Li Ruotong's face flushed slightly, and she avoided eye contact with Jiang Nian.

Because she always felt like she had done something wrong.

After all, everyone present knew that Taylor Swift was now Jiang Nian's nominal 'apprentice'.

The way she pointed at Taylor Swift and cursed her showed no respect for Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian is now a high-profile figure, and he's also a government official.

The capital behind her is nothing compared to Jiang Nian's.

Suddenly, Li Ruotong's heart skipped a beat, her face changed drastically, and she looked at Jiang Nian with some fear.

Feeling uneasy, he said:
"Won't Teacher Jiang Nian hold a grudge against me because of this and then kick me out of the entertainment industry?"

With this in mind, Li Ruotong dared not hesitate for a moment.

Before Taylor Swift, who was standing to the side, could speak.

He quickly explained:
"Teacher Jiang Nian, I'm so sorry, I was too excited just now."

"Taylor Swift's acting skills can improve with just a little guidance."

"I was too hasty just now, please don't be angry, Teacher Jiang Nian."

Jiang Nian was stunned, looking at Li Ruotong in surprise.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so why would this girl say that?

But the next second, he saw Li Ruotong glancing in his direction unintentionally, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Jiang Nian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This girl is just being overly cautious.

However, Jiang Nian was very understanding.

After all, the business world is like a battlefield, and the entertainment industry is also fraught with danger.

To survive here, you need not only superb acting skills, but also a shrewd mind; otherwise, you simply cannot survive.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Taylor Swift put on a pitiful look and said, blaming herself.

She carefully observed Jiang Nian, seemingly out of fear, but actually to observe his reaction.

She wanted to see if Jiang Nian would worry about her, or even be angry because she was criticized.

She wanted to use this to gauge Jiang Nian's level of affection for her, so as to advance her plans.

She had thought Jiang Nian would feel sorry for her.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Nian nodded calmly and said:

"Knowing that your acting skills are poor and having self-awareness is a good thing. Teacher Li Ruotong's criticism of you is correct."

Li Ruotong: ? ? ?

Taylor Swift: ? ? ?
As soon as Jiang Nian finished speaking, Li Ruotong and Taylor Swift were both stunned and looked at Jiang Nian in disbelief.

The former's eyes were filled with surprise, and his gaze toward Jiang Nian was full of admiration and awe.

At that moment, she became deeply infatuated with the man in front of her.

No wonder he can serve the country; where can you find a man with such sound values?

And so outstanding, wow, that's amazing!

The latter was already stunned.

Is this right? No, this isn't right!

Even if you're not going to help me, you don't have to be this calm, do you?

I used to care about you so much, showing you concern and warmth.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner – they want to take care of you meticulously for every meal.

But why do you seem completely unconcerned? This suddenly made Taylor Swift doubt her own charm. She frowned slightly and comforted herself inwardly:

"Is this young man playing hard to get again?"

"Yes, that must be it!"

She was very confident in her charm, so she didn't believe that Jiang Nian wasn't moved at all.

But at this moment, Jiang Nian's mind was only on acting.

"Director, could you have the two of them film it again? Let me see if there's a problem."

"Good good!"

Li Tiansheng nodded excitedly; he had been waiting for Jiang Nian to say those words.

"Ms. Li Ruotong, Ms. Taylor Swift, could you please rehearse the scene one more time?"

"Teacher Jiang Nian is recognized in the industry as a genius who is even more like a director than a director."

"He'll definitely offer unique insights and help us get it right the first time!"

Li Tiansheng was so happy that he made a boast on Jiang Nian's behalf, which made Jiang Nian touch his nose a little embarrassed.

The two then approached the camera. The director waved, and the production assistant picked up the action card and shouted:
"start!"

In the lens.

Li Ruotong was dressed in ancient costume, her brows furrowed with determination.

Holding a gleaming iron sword, she questioned Mei Mei, also known as Kang Min, in an icy tone.

At this moment, what Kang Min needed to do was to show disdain, with a fierce glint in her eyes, coldly respond, and threaten Li Ruotong.

But when Taylor Swift read her lines out, Jiang Nian finally understood what was going on.

She was arrogant and disdainful, and she succeeded.

But she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

Moreover, Taylor Swift is relatively weak, and her internal energy and blood are not as robust as Li Ruotong's.

Li Ruotong has put in a lot of effort in private to develop her current acting skills.
