When Xiao Xia noticed her sullen mood, she advised her in a whisper, “Sister Su, this can’t be helped. That boy has been suppressed in the first few issues, and his screen time adds up to less than five minutes. If he doesn’t give it a shot, he won’t have a chance.”
This was how showbiz worked. If you didn’t ‘break the pattern,’ you would always be reduced to a backdrop. In this kind of program with high attention, if you turned into a backdrop, it basically announced that your artist career was game over.
Su Jishi was used as a gun, but she could not be angry.
After all, this was where the cruelty of the entertainment industry came in.
She could only speak less and talk less in the next comment session. She didn’t want her every move to be bundled with other people’s names on the news headlines.
Thus, when the third film was shown, Su Jishi hardly said a word and only echoed some comments.
……
Time went by minute by minute. The clock first went past zero, and then continued to march toward the late night.
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock …
By the time four o’clock rolled around, sleepiness surged. Inside and outside the studio, silent weariness was everywhere. Be it the staff or the guests, everyone’s eyes were bloodshot. But through the camera monitors, everyone was still glowing, without a hint of fatigue.
Su Jishi emptied another cup of American coffee, feeling bitterness in her stomach.
She cast admiring glances at the other five guests, thinking to herself that this kind of work intensity would only be possible when she was catching up on her dissertation.
She cheered herself up and looked at the screen in front of her.
The fourth institution video was now playing on the screen. In the video, a spirited boy was standing on a high desk, holding a script rolled into the shape of a microphone, and was organizing all the students to rehearse.
—— He was the star contestant in this variety show, Shi Yang.
The Graduation Drama was a variety show, which was a confrontation between schools. However, it also sneaked in the popularity of the talent show, calling on the audience to vote off-site to select eight ‘stars of tomorrow’ from the eighty-eight students.
And this contestant, called Shi Yang, was the most popular student of the variety show. He had the looks, dashing and strong. He had a pretty good reputation in the school, a key member of the Student Council and was very influential in class activities.
To be honest, his persona was good, but not outstanding enough.
What really made him stand out was another thing —— Shi Yang was actually a twin!
His younger brother, Shi Xing, was also in their class, but compared to his enthusiastic and outgoing brother, his younger brother, Shi Xing, was taciturn, introverted and quiet. He almost had no presence.
All of Shi Xing’s screen time was obtained by rubbing up against his brother.
When the students were enthusiastically discussing, his brother, Shi Xing, never spoke. He was like a mushroom growing in the corner, standing silently in the crowd and watching the other students with a dark and eerie gaze (fans comment).
In the face of his misfit brother, Shi Yang painstakingly brought him up every time, giving him roles and lines, throwing him topics from time to time, and giving him the opportunity to showcase himself in front of the camera as much as possible.
However, Shi Xing did not appreciate it. He said very little, and even when his brother threw him an olive branch, he only responded with a nod or a shake of his head.
For this pair of opposite brothers, all the viewers online, almost lopsidedly, were scolding the younger brother.
[They’re twins, but why is one the sun in the sky and the other can only be a star reflecting the sun’s rays?]
[(￢￢)? I wonder, did the heavens send down the stone star to conquer our Yangyang?]
[He’s poker faced all day. What disease does Shi Xing have? How could he not cherish such a brother???]
[I hope Shi Xing will die a violent death soon, so that our Brother Yangyang will be beautiful alone [laugh] [laugh]]
[God knows how this piece of shit got into the acting class in the first place.]
[Can you act or not? Get lost!]
[Yang Yang’s life is too perfect, that’s why he was stuck with his shitty brother ~~]
Su Jishi scrolled down Chaohua under Graduation Drama on her way to the studio. Naturally, she knew the legendary brothers.
Because they were twins, they did arouse Su Jishi’s interest.
The extroverted brother and the introverted brother, such a pairing resembled Su Jishi and Su Jinqing.
However, all the infamy towards the twins was dumped to the taciturn younger brother. Su Jishi sighed inwardly and couldn’t help but think of all sorts of things about herself.
If one day she announced her identity, would she and her sister be in the same situation as those twins today?
While Su Jishi was lost in thought, the video on the screen soon entered its second half.
This time, all the students of the class gathered in the rehearsal hall for a full dress rehearsal without makeup.
Because it was a dress rehearsal without makeup, the students were wearing practice attires. ‘Class Uniforms’ covered them. The uniform custom-made T-shirts were loose and big, and looked sloppy even for the guys.
Some smart girls tied the hem of their class uniforms on the waist. It outlined their willowy waists, very eye-catching.
Shi Yang was smart enough to wear a suit jacket over it —— He played the male lead, a spirited entrepreneur.
He was the only actor in the audience who wore a costume, plus he was tall and handsome. No matter where he stood on the stage, he was very eye-catching.
As for his brother, Shi Xing, well … Tsk, several cameras swept past him. He shrunk in the corner, and his figure was simply visible nowhere.
While watching, several mentors praised Shi Yang. They said that he had stage manners at such a young age.
Su Jishi was a ‘layman’, after all. She couldn’t utter such professional evaluations, but she also admitted that Shi Yang’s acting skills were indeed very good. He was worthy of his class origin. He had appeared in several TV dramas during his college years, and his acting skills were indeed much better than others.
