Chapter 20: I'm a man, and they want me to act in Beauty's Rival in Palace?
"Beauty's Rival in Palace"?
Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat.
As a seasoned drama enthusiast from his previous life, he naturally knew about this show.
The 2010 ratings champion, one of the originators of palace dramas, made stars of actresses such as Ruby Lin, Yang Mi, and Wang Likun.
This show actually exists in this parallel world?
Jiang Bai probed calmly:
"Beauty's Rival in Palace? Is it the one about Empress Dou from the Han Dynasty?"
Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up:
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
"Looks like you're following our show too, beautiful lady!"
"How about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! With your looks and talent, you're guaranteed to become famous!"
Jiang Bai: "..."
Damn it.
I'm a man!
You want me to act in "Beauty's Rival in Palace"?
What are we performing?
Is he playing an eunuch?
Look at Xiao Liu's lecherous grin...
Oh no, that admiring look clearly suggests she wants him to play those stunningly beautiful women!
If I go to the film set, I'll have to fill out forms and have a medical examination.
When the time comes, I'll take off my pants...
What, a man?
Just thinking about that scene made Jiang Bai feel like he'd be beaten to death on the spot!
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Bai resumed her aloof goddess demeanor and shook her head.
"I'm not interested."
"I'm just a freshman, and all I want to do is study hard."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
joke.
Earning a million dollars to attend a school gala is already the limit; going into the entertainment industry? Or as a cross-dressing master?
That's practically suicide!
Although Jiang Bai also wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he wasn't interested in film and television, but rather in the music industry!
He wants to be a superstar, not a movie queen!
Xiao Liu panicked and quickly chased after him:
"Hey, hey, hey! Beautiful lady, don't go!"
"The pay is negotiable! Really!"
"This is a big production; countless people would kill to get in..."
Just as Jiang Bai was about to ignore him and make a run for it.
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly exploded in my mind without warning.
[Ding! A major opportunity has been detected facing the host.]
[Side quest triggered: Taking the first step into the entertainment industry.]
[Mission Description: As a future all-around Best Actress, how can you refuse an invitation to an S-class blockbuster production? Please accept the audition invitation and successfully land the role.]
[Task Rewards:]
[1. Intermediate Acting Skills (Get rid of a blank expression and make your eyes expressive).]
[2. One opportunity for immersive role-playing simulation.]
3. Cash reward: 1,000,000 yuan.
Jiang Bai's footsteps froze in place.
One million?
Another million?!
Adding the one million from the freshman party, that makes two million!
Moreover, it also has [intermediate acting skills].
The "Beginner Acting" skill he drew so far only allows him to play a minor role. If he were to reach the intermediate level, he would definitely be a top student in the acting department!
Jiang Bai took a deep breath.
He turned around.
The icy demeanor that had kept people at arm's length on her face melted instantly, revealing a smile that could make Xiao Liu swoon.
"actually……"
"Thinking about it carefully, it's not like I can't consider it."
"After all, I quite enjoy performing."
"It's not shameful to dedicate oneself to art."
"Besides, it's directed by Director Yu! We have to go!"
Xiao Liu was so dazzled by the smile that he was stunned for two seconds before he reacted and exclaimed with great joy:
"Yes, yes, yes! For art!"
"Beautiful lady, your awareness is truly remarkable!"
"So, it's settled then?"
Jiang Bai nodded reservedly: "Send me the audition time and location, and I'll be there on time."
Xiao Liu quickly added Jiang Bai on WeChat and sent him her location.
"2 PM the day after tomorrow, Kyoto Film Studio, Studio 3."
"Just tell me your name when you arrive!"
"OK, thanks."
Jiang Bai waved her hand, then, without lingering, lifted her skirt and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xiao Liu was left standing there, watching the goddess's back, clenching his fists in excitement.
"It's safe!"
"I've done a great job this time! Director Yu will definitely give me a bonus!"
……
I said goodbye to Xiao Liu.
Jiang Bai ran wildly into the toilet of the old teaching building.
Remove makeup, take off skirt, remove wig.
The movements were fluid and fast, like defusing a bomb!
I stuffed that damn women's clothing into the bottom of my backpack and then weighed it down with several books.
After changing back into the camouflage uniforms from freshman military training.
Jiang Bai looked at himself in the mirror.
well.
It's that sunny, handsome, and manly guy again, Jiang Bai!
Jiang Bai, carrying his schoolbag, slowly walked out of the teaching building.
The auditorium was still bustling with activity.
But he knew that after tonight, the name "Jiang Bai" and the song "Love You" would probably become a sensation at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
but.
That's all about "Jiang Bai in women's clothing".
What does this have to do with "male god Jiang Bai"?
Just as I reached the dormitory building, I ran into the large group returning after their night training.
They were all exhausted, like dogs, and helped each other up.
"Phew...that was close."
"If it had been any later, and the restrooms were packed with people when the main force returned, we would have had no choice but to jump out the window."
Jiang Bai blended into the crowd and returned to dormitory 404.
I pushed the door open.
A strong smell of foot odor wafted over.
Gu Dapeng was slumped in a chair picking his toes, Su Ze was putting a face mask on his face, and Lin Le was drinking water like crazy.
Seeing Jiang Bai return, Su Ze asked indistinctly:
"Oh, the third brother's back?"
"How did it go? Did you pass the primary?"
"You actually signed up secretly behind our backs, that's so unfair of you."
Jiang Bai tossed his backpack onto the bed and made up a story off the top of his head:
"Oh, I'm just going to join in the fun."
"My counselor insisted that I go, so I went up and sang a couple of lines."
"I doubt it. It's all about gods fighting in there, I'm just cannon fodder."
He certainly wouldn't dare say how well he performed.
If their roommates found out that the goddess in the white dress who blew everyone away, the sweetheart queen, was him, those three guys would probably crack on the spot.
"Tch, I knew it."
Gu Dapeng curled his lip:
"Those of us who cram at the last minute are definitely no match for the professionals."
"It's alright, third brother, it's all about participation."
Just then.
Lin Le, who had been silent, suddenly stared at his phone and let out a sharp pop.
"ah--!!!"
That shout startled Su Ze so much that he knocked off his face mask.
"Hey fourth brother, what are you yelling about? Did you write a bug in your code?"
Lin Le's hands were trembling. He pushed up his slipping glasses and held his phone up to everyone:
"Breaking news! Huge breaking news!"
"We missed out on a fortune!"
"Just now! The preliminary selection for the freshman welcome party!"
"That goddess in the white dress...she's appeared!!"
