Chapter 226: She Was An Excellent Actress

Before Zhu Lin applied for the job, she had heard that artists had bad tempers. Being an assistant was most likely a punching bag. They would run around and be enslaved. In the end, they would even be scolded.
Before she was Shi Xi’s assistant, she was trained by Han Chuan for two days. She discovered that some artists could even hit their assistants.
Zhu Lin at that time: I’m so scared.
At that time, it was rumored on the internet that Shi Xi was a fake heiress. If she wasn’t a princess, she would have princess disease. Zhu Lin was very afraid that she would be used as a punching bag.
However, after becoming Shi Xi’s assistant, Zhu Lin discovered that Shi Xi had a very good personality and didn’t have any temper.
Even now, when they scolded Shi Xi on the internet, her assistant couldn’t help but open a small account to scold them back. However, Shi Xi wasn’t angry at all. She was still cutting her nails.
When Zhu Lin saw that Shi Xi had finished cutting her nails, she finally could not help but ask, “Aren’t you angry?”
Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, “I’m angry. However, the pay for this movie is really high. Brother Han said that after I finish acting in this movie, my pay for variety shows in the future will also be increased.”
Zhu Lin thought about Shi Xi’s pay.
Not only was she not angry at all, she even wanted to curse Shi Xi together with the netizens.
Shi Xi stretched lazily and said, “Don’t mind the trending searches on the internet. That hot search must have been bought by someone else.”
“When my drama is broadcasted, those with eyes will naturally be able to see how good my acting skills are.”
“I don’t have acting skills? It’s hilarious. Give me another month, and my acting skills will surpass Chu Yuan’s! I’ll let them see what it means to have explosive acting skills!”
“What Best Actor and Best Actress? They’ll have to be my supporting cast in the future!!!”
Zhu Lin looked at Shi Xi’s back and fell silent.
It seemed that she was still angry.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said those words that weren’t clear-headed.
Shi Xi was indeed a little angry, but she didn’t show it on the surface. Instead, she continued to study the script and wanted to play the role well.
Saying she could surpass Chu Yuan, she was just saying it casually.
This production team was indeed very strong. Shi Xi had a clear understanding of herself. As long as she didn’t drag them down, everything would be fine.
[Nine Blades of Tang] was successfully filmed and ushered in the climax of the plot for the first time.
There were rumors in jianghu that the Tang Sect had taken in the former imperial guards. In order to repay the Tang Sect, the imperial guards had given the treasure map of the previous dynasty to the Tang Sect.
After this news was spread, the Tang Sect was often harassed.
It was a dark and windy night. Tang Xi was playing the zither in her room when the window suddenly cracked open and an assassin in black barged in!
The girl raised her hand and a short sword flew out from her sleeve, hitting the assassin right between his eyebrows.
The hilt of the short sword was tied with a heavenly silk thread.
Tang Xi put away the short sword and walked out of the door. She saw a group of assassins in black sneaking in!
Many people from the Tang Sect were outside, and the assassins in black had the advantage in numbers. They could only fight and retreat.
In the end, in order to protect the others, Tang Xi and Tang Dao led the assassins in black to the cliff at the back of the mountain.
It was time for the most melodramatic part of the costume drama — jumping off a cliff that would not lead to death.
Both of them hung on the tree. Seeing that the tree could only bear the weight of one person, Tang Xi stabbed Tang Dao’s hand with a dagger and forced him to let go of her.
In the end, Tang Xi fell and Tang Dao lived alone.
..
After two weeks of continuous filming, Shi Xi’s scenes came to an end.
After that, the male lead became dispirited and was saved by the female lead.
Shi Xi stretched herself.
During this period of time, her number of NGs gradually decreased, and the number of times she was scolded became fewer and fewer.
Director Yan even praised her. “Although your acting is mediocre, you have a good eye for the male lead, and your fighting scenes are not bad either.”
Shi . Good impression of Chu Yuan, about 80 points . Ancient martial arts heir. Xi : “Thank you for your praise, Director.”
She was absolutely an excellent actress!

Chapter 227: You City People Have So Many Tricks Up Your Sleeves

After Tang Xi fell off the cliff, she didn’t reappear until the second half of the story.
So during this period of time, Shi Xi happened to return to [Star Idol] to continue recording this talent show.
After all, she was only the second female lead, so she definitely didn’t have as many scenes as the main character.
Before returning to [Star Idol], Shi Xi specially reviewed this variety show.
She was afraid that she would mistake them for someone else.
That would be awkward.
When she saw the second ranking announcement, Shi Xi was surprised to find that the rankings had been completely reshuffled this time.
Li Jinfan, who had originally been in first place, had dropped to just over 20th place this time, and was on the verge of elimination.
Pei Jie had risen from the top nine to the top three.
Bai Cangyang, on the other hand, had stood in first place, and could be considered worthy of his name.
The others had also changed somewhat.
Shi Xi was speechless. She had only been away for two weeks. How could there be such a huge change?
The talent show industry was really eight times faster than the entertainment industry!
When Shi Xi arrived at the program team, she realized that they had only given them one day to rehearse.
There was still half a day to rehearse.
Shi Xi: …Exciting.
“So, which group and stage do I need to support?” Shi Xi asked.
“When Teacher Shi Xi enters the practice room, you’ll know.”
Shi Xi was speechless at the program team.
They didn’t want to do the stage properly at all. They only wanted to create suspense and use gimmicks.
Following the instructions, Shi Xi pushed open the door to the practice room.
Fireworks fell from the sky, and the practice students cheered.
“Wow! Wow! Wow! It’s Teacher Shi Xi!!”
“Ah, that’s great! I always thought that Teacher Shi Xi would work with us!! Dreams come true!”
“Sister Xi, long time no see!”
“Hello, Teacher Shi Xi!”
“Teacher Shi Xi, why haven’t you come to visit us recently?”
After the initial cheers, the trainees lined up in a row and greeted Shi Xi.
Shi Xi flicked away the confetti on her eyelashes and said with an awkward smile, “This welcome ceremony of yours is really special. Where did you get the confetti?”
“After the last stage, I pulled it from the ground.” One of the trainees told the truth. He even grabbed another handful from his pocket and threw it into the air.
Shi Xi maintained her smile.
You could never imagine what these young and energetic boys were thinking.
“Why did Sister Xi change her hair color?” Li Jinfan changed the topic and took the initiative to ask.
“Because I joined a set to film, pink hair isn’t suitable.” Shi Xi conveniently answered the question just now. “That’s why I haven’t come over recently. I’ve always been on the set.”
“Wow, what kind of scenes did Teacher Shi Xi film? Can you tell us?”
Shi Xi smiled. “Hurry up and practice. We have to go to rehearsal tonight.”
That person stuck out his tongue.
Shi Xi swept her gaze across the group and realized that the trainees in this group were all pretty good. Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan, the two most popular trainees, were all in this group.
The other trainees were also very good.
The song chosen for this group was “Greed.” From the name, one could tell that the entire stage was biased towards s*xiness.
Shi Xi sucked in a breath of cold air.
She was just a little cutie!
How would she know what s*xiness was!
But looking at the group of trainees in front of her, Shi Xi did not want to (mainly because she could not) back down.
The dance teacher accompanied the trainees to rehearse once. Shi Xi’s face was expressionless, but she was actually cursing in her heart.
She still had to learn the cat steps?
She still had to lie on the ground?
She still had to hook Bai Cangyang’s chin?
The dance teacher said, “Teacher Shi Xi, when you look at each other, your eyes have to be charming and bold.”
“When the time comes, the clothes that I will prepare for you will be suspenders and a jacket. Remember to lift the clothes up a little so that your shoulders can be exposed.”
The dance teacher personally demonstrated.
Shi Xi had a calm expression on her face as she rushed out of the door.
She was still a child!!
The dance teacher continued to kill people’s hearts. “Teacher Shi Xi, do you want me to prepare a cat’s ear and a cat’s tail for you?”
Shi Xi: You city people have so many tricks up your sleeve.

Shi Xi smiled politely. “If that’s the case, the stage won’t be approved, right?”
The dance teacher said regretfully, “That’s true.”
All the stages needed to be reported. If the performance was too excessive, there was a high possibility that they would be fined.
The fine was a small matter, but if that happened, it would be difficult to report it in the future.
The dance teacher said, “Teacher Shi Xi, do you want to go through it with them now?”
Shi Xi almost couldn’t hold back her fake smile. “I’ll learn my part first. You guys can continue practicing.”
Both sides practiced separately, but they were in the same practice room.
Shi Xi looked at the dance teacher and could only say that he was dedicated to his work.
The dance teacher was a slightly plump male teacher. He made these seductive and s*xy movements very tenderly.
Shi Xi took a deep breath and learned from the dance teacher.
The dance teacher said, “Don’t be so stiff. Twist your waist a little softer, just like a snake.”
Shi Xi: I’m a decent person.
Although she resisted in her heart, Shi Xi had to admit that ‘Greed’ was well-choreographed, regardless of whether it was the lyrics or the dance.
It was just that she wasn’t good at being s*xy!
She wasn’t a hot girl!
After learning for half an hour, Shi Xi finally managed to learn her own part.
Li Jinfan smiled and said, “Is Sister Xi shy?”
Shi Xi coughed and said, “I’ve never been exposed to such a style of dance before.”
The dance teacher clapped his hands and said, “The dance this time is s*xy. Everyone must remember to release your own charm and show your s*x appeal.”
“But remember, don’t make too greasy an expression. Licking your mouth, smiling evilly… Don’t do any of it! Once the dance moves are in place and the gaze is in place, it will be enough.”
Bai Cangyang said, “Let’s line up together.”
The dance teacher nodded and walked to the front, preparing to play music.
Shi Xi took a deep breath and told herself that she could do it.
She was the prettiest girl!
As she was a supporting senior, she mainly showed the trainees, so Shi Xi only got a few parts.
When the chorus was played, Shi Xi walked forward, as if she was the most carefree person in the world.
She stood on tiptoe, put one hand on Bai Cangyang’s shoulder, and used the other hand to lift his chin.
‘F*ck, I can’t reach it.’
Bai Cangyang was obviously not used to being in contact with the opposite s*x. When he saw Shi Xi approaching, he even retreated.
Shi Xi: I can’t reach it even more.
The music was still playing. Shi Xi could only skip this part and continue with the following actions.
Her interactions with the other trainees were also not so good.
This group of trainees were happy when they saw her, but when they wanted to get close to her, their hands were shaking.
Shi Xi suddenly straightened her back.
Oh, so she was not the most shy and innocent one!
When the music ended, the dance teacher scolded passionately:
“Bai Cangyang, why are you hiding? Teacher Shi Xi could not reach you to begin with, yet you’re still hiding behind her? She’s so short, how could she possibly touch you?”
“Li Jinfan, you have to put your hand on her waist! You’re hugging her waist, not air!”
“Zhai Changnan, why are you turning your head? You have to look at Teacher Shi Xi! Is Teacher Shi Xi a ferocious beast? You don’t even dare to look at her?!”
“…”
Shi Xi: I’ve been offended.
After the dance teacher finished their training one by one, he had everyone rehearse it again.
“Change the middle movement. Bai Cangyang is a little tall. Me going to lift his chin, the movement isn’t very beautiful.” Shi Xi walked in front of Bai Cangyang and grabbed his collar. She said, “Change it like this? Teacher, what do you think?”
Bai Cangyang was grabbed by his collar and forced to lower his head to look at Shi Xi.

Chapter 229: This Time’s Program Will Definitely Be Wonderful
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The latest episode of [Star Idol] was announced.
The popularity of the stage with the help of the five senior sisters rose to another level.
In the trailer, Shi Xi grabbed Bai Cangyang’s collar. The two of them looked at each other with an indescribable light in their eyes.
Later on, they even deliberately slowed down this action and added the pink bubble special effect.
Their popularity, looks, and strength matched each other. This scene gave them a great sense of togetherness, and ‘Xi Yang CP’ appeared out of nowhere.
[Ahhhh, KSWL, press your head! Kiss for me!]
[Talent Show Teacher x Best Trainee, what kind of novel plot is this!]
[This pair of locks, I’ll swallow the key!]
[…]
When the fan groups saw this scene, they felt extremely disgusted.
[Thank you for Teacher Shi Xi’s help. My brother is very handsome, but the two of them are just working together.]
[Xi Xi Zi isn’t in love at a young age. Some trainees who haven’t debuted can forget about sucking blood.]
The two fan groups hated each other. Their fans were celebrating the New Year and looking forward to the official stage.
In the trailer, there was also Nan Wan’s classical dance and Zheng Feicai’s help singing…
From the trailer, it could be seen that the stage would be extremely exciting.
It was indeed very exciting.
When Shi Xi passed by Nan Wan’s group in their practice room, she knew that the program this time would definitely be exciting.
Nan Wan: “I think we’ve practiced enough.”
The trainees: “Let’s practice again?”
Nan Wan: “Aren’t there rehearsals in the afternoon? Let’s rehearse again later.”
The trainees: “Then let’s do it one more time.”
Nan Wan: “I’m tired.”
Shi Xi had only heard a few lines as she walked by, but she could roughly guess what was going on inside.
The stage for the three male singers was not simple. Other than one pure vocal performance, the other groups all needed to sing and dance.
The group that Nan Wan was supporting was an old-fashioned stage. It was extremely difficult to dance. According to Li Jinfan, the trainees in this group did not know how difficult it was back then. They had been training hard recently.
‘Sigh, I hope Nan Wan can give them a good helping hand.’
Shi Xi took a few steps forward and saw the director of the program team.
“Hello, Director,” Shi Xi greeted him with her curved eyes.
At the same time, she cursed the director in her heart for not doing his job and asking her to dance the s*xiest ‘Greed’.
When the director saw Shi XI, he smiled. “Shi Xi, long time no see. How are you doing on the set?”
“I’ve learned a lot on the set,” Shi Xi said.
“You still have to work hard on the set. When you have time, go on a variety show.” The director took out two tickets and handed them to Shi Xi. “By the way, these are the tickets for tonight’s live performance. See if any of your friends are coming and give them to your friends.”
Shi Xi took the tickets and her eyes curved. “Thank you, Director.”
This was something practical!
After taking the tickets, Shi Xi gave Tao Yuxuan a call.
She remembered that Tao Yuxuan liked this show and was a loyal fan of Li Jinfan — She had forgotten to get an autograph for her again.
“Xi Xi? Why are you calling me when you have time? Aren’t you busy?” Tao Yuxuan answered the call very quickly.
Shi Xi: “I have two tickets for [Star Idol]. Do you want to come and watch it?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Shi Xi asked in puzzlement, “Don’t you quite like it? Aren’t you coming?”
Tao Yuxuan: “I’m still in Feng City.”
Shi Xi: “Oh?”
Tao Yuxuan: “The live performance is in two hours. There’s no flight even if I fly there!”
Shi Xi: I was careless.
“I forgot that you’re still in Feng City.” Shi Xi smiled awkwardly. “I’ll get the tickets for the finals in advance next time!”
“No need. I’ve been quite busy recently and can’t go out.” Tao Yuxuan sighed. “Forget it, I have to continue moving bricks.”
After hanging up, Shi Xi was a little surprised.
She didn’t expect Tao Yuxuan to be a professional critic?
Then who should she give these two tickets to?
Who was in Yanjing?

Chapter 230: If You Didn’t Say It Was Clothes, I Would Have Thought It Was Rags

Sheng Yan and Xie Yunzhou had already returned to Feng City.
Hua Xuanhe? He probably didn’t like this kind of performance.
Hua Hengzhe? Forget it, Shi Xu didn’t allow her to play with fools.
Shi Xi swiped through her WeChat friend list and saw Ning Yu.
That’s right, Ning Yu was studying at Yanjing University!
However, a big boss shouldn’t be interested in this kind of performance, right?
Shi Xi sent a voice message to Ning Yu with a probing attitude.
*
Ning Yu and her friend were tired from shopping together. She sat in the milk tea shop and saw that she had received a message on her phone.
Seeing that it was a voice message from Shi Xi, Ning Yu wanted to convert it to a message, but her friend touched her arm and directly clicked play.
“Sister Ning Yu, I have two tickets for the public performance of [Star Idol]. Are you free tonight?”
What was that?
Ning Yu was about to reject when Mu Zhao, who was beside her, said in surprise,”Tickets for the premiere of [Star Idol]?! Ning Yu, since we have nothing to do tonight, can we go watch this?”
Ning Yu: “…Okay.”
Ning Yu promised Shi Xi that she would bring a friend over.
Shi Xi: “Okay, go straight to the door. I’ll get my assistant to give you the tickets.”
After sending the tickets out, Shi Xi saw Nan Wan on the phone.
Nan Wan said, “I’ve got the tickets for you. Just come straight here.”
Both of them were delivering the tickets.
The two of them looked at each other.
They looked away tacitly and pretended not to see each other.
A staff member passed by and felt the discordant atmosphere between the two of them.
Shi Xi directly walked past Nan Wan and returned to the practice room to continue rehearsing with the trainees.
From her initial shyness, after rehearsing for more than ten times, Shi Xi no longer felt anything.
The feeling of pulling on Bai Cangyang’s collar was similar to the feeling of pulling on a rope when walking a dog.
Moreover, after seeing so many handsome guys, this group of trainees no longer moved her heart.
No matter how handsome they were, could they be Marshal Chu?
Shi Xi was unperturbed.
In the afternoon, everyone moved to the stage and began the formal rehearsal.
When Shi Xi saw her clothes, her eyes were wide open.
The eyes of the trainees from the same group lit up.
“Is Sister Xi going to dress like this?” Li Jinfan’s mouth twitched slightly as he asked, “Isn’t it a little too s*xy?”
Shi Xi was expressionless. “If you didn’t say it was clothes, I would have thought it was rags.”
There was only a sling on the clothes rack, and there was a large space on the back.
Shi Xi felt that this thing should be called a modified undergarment.
How could it be worn on the stage!!
Bai Cangyang looked at the clothes and discussed with the costume team. “Can you change it?”
The costume team staff looked at it and scratched his head. “I remember there’s a cardigan outside. I’ll go look for it.”
Shi XI heaved a sigh of relief.
If there was a cardigan, it would be much better.
At least, she could go on stage.
“You guys should hurry up and get your styling done. There’s no need to wait for me here.” Shi Xi smiled and said, “I have an assistant here to help me.”
Li Jinfan said, “I want to see Sister Xi’s styling in advance.”
Shi Xi said, “You’ll be able to see it during the rehearsal.”
The staff brought out the black cardigan, and Shi Xi went to change her clothes, put on makeup, and get her styled.
While she was doing the styling, Shi Xi heard an argument outside and wanted to go out and watch the commotion.
However, the stylist was braiding her hair, and Zhu Lin had yet to come back after sending Ning Yu the tickets.
Shi Xi listened to the commotion outside and asked the system, ‘What happened outside?’
System: [Ning Yu met Nan Yi, and the two of them had a conflict.]
Shi Xi thought of Nan Wan’s phone call. She must have given the tickets to her sister, Nan Yi.
‘Now is just the rehearsal, how did they come in?’ Shi Xi was puzzled.
