Chapter 124: Is Something Wrong with Them?

"Ah, Suisui's acting is just too good... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would've thought it was fake!"

"I've read the original novel, and Suisui is literally Noble Consort Chen herself! She's incredible! Now *that* is the kind of presence a noble consort should have!"

"Damn, even as a bystander, I'm about to become a fan!"

Several crew members couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their opinions of Jiang Sui's acting completely transformed. The scene they had just witnessed left them deeply captivated, unable to shake it off for a long time.

That was a true Imperial Consort!

That kind of presence didn't feel acted at all!

The aura of royalty!

The elegance of a grand master!

Compared to everyone else who had auditioned for the scene, her performance was in a league of its own—an absolute domination!

Director Lin was beside himself with excitement.

He had been ready to scrap this character entirely, but he never expected to see such hope in Jiang Sui!

"How is this possible..." Amid her shock, Tina felt a pang of resentment. "When did her acting get this good?"

Han Shuang was also somewhat surprised. "Didn't you say her acting was terrible?"

*This* was terrible acting?

If this counted as terrible, how was she supposed to survive?

Tina shook her head. "I really don't know. Did she secretly take acting classes? Jiang Sui's past acting was so cringe-worthy it made you want to curl your toes and dig a hole to crawl into. How could she improve so much in such a short time?"

Han Shuang was now only glad that Jiang Sui hadn't competed with her for the female lead.

Otherwise, judging by the director's reaction, she might have been passed over.

So what if she played the third female lead well? It was still just a minor, throwaway supporting role with very little screen time.

It wouldn't have much impact on the overall plot anyway.

Getting paid the least to play the most troublesome and unlikable character—she wouldn't want it even if it were handed to her.

Qin Ze was also deeply immersed in the lingering mood of the scene, only snapping out of it when the applause erupted around them.

He looked at Jiang Sui, only to find she had long since stepped out of character. Not a trace of her performance remained on her face.

It was as if she had become a completely different person.

Touching his reddened cheek, he said with a faint, teasing smile, "You really hit me for real, Sis..."

Jiang Sui grinned. "Just a bit of improvisation, my apologies. It's this big sister's fault for hurting her little brother~"

Qin Ze: "..." Touching his cheek, his eyes sparkled as he stared at Jiang Sui. "You hit me well, Sis. If you hadn't, I would've felt the scene wasn't right."

Jiang Sui: "..."

How did this kid end up with this kind of personality at such a young age?

Could he not speak normally?

Calling her "Sis" this and "Sis" that all day long. A grown guy acting like this—was he out of his mind?

She was understanding young people less and less these days.

Although Jiang Sui's slap had struck a chord in many people's hearts, and improvising during a scene was perfectly normal, Qin Ze's fans on set could not hold back. The looks they shot at Jiang Sui were practically daggers.

Who did Jiang Sui think she was, daring to slap their beloved idol!

Fuming with rage, one of them immediately drafted a long post on Weibo and shared the incident in Qin Ze's fan group chat.

Shi Heng walked over to Director Lin with a beaming smile. "Director Lin, what do you think? Our Jiang Sui is pretty good, right? I know she used to have some shortcomings in acting, but our Suisui works very hard. Look at that, she's made huge progress. Besides, she really wants to start from a supporting role. What do you think of her for the third female lead?"

Director Lin nodded, a satisfied smile finally appearing on his face.

"Jiang Sui is the most expressive actress I've seen in a long time." His praise was completely undisguised.

This single sentence made Shi Heng beam with even greater joy.

Jiang Sui walked over slowly, still wearing her costume.

Even though she had already stepped out of character, her posture still carried an air of regal, breathtaking majesty.

Director Lin had seen countless actors in his career, but he had never met anyone like Jiang Sui, whose every movement and expression perfectly embodied an imperial consort of the dynasty.

A perfect fit for her expertise??

She was telling the truth! This really was a perfect fit for her expertise!
