"Is there any cheesecake?" Jiang Zhi furrowed her brows: "You shouldn't be thinking about food at a time like this."
Director Guo chuckled, and somehow produced a piece of cheesecake in his hand.
"You're so stupid! Don't you know that cheese can bring the dead back to life?"
"?"
"The master took the cheesecake and actually came back to life!"
Jiang Zhi's furrowed brows knitted even tighter. What on earth were these people acting out? Such a random plot made it impossible for her to showcase her acting skills! This Director Guo was also being ridiculous. What was he doing, barging in and meddling? The master, who had died and then come back to life for no apparent reason, slowly opened his eyes: "Huh, I'm alive again?"
Jiang Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth, trying her best to immerse herself in the role: "You're awake, master. I was so scared just now."
Zhou Huai grabbed her: "I heard you went out and did something immoral behind my back?"
"I didn't, master." Jiang Zhi burst into tears. To make her crying more realistic, she even pinched her thigh hard. Let her, a proper actress, teach these people with poor acting skills a lesson and show them what a touching crying scene that can move the audience is. As long as she performed well, the audience would surely be impressed by her acting skills. Just as she was about to start, Jiang Miaomiao, playing Mama Wang, suddenly rushed forward.
"Master, I know the inside story. The young master is the evidence. Hurry up and take him to have his blood drawn for a proper test!"
[Hahaha, why does this plot seem so familiar?]
[Isn't this like the "Green Hat" story? Hahaha]
Jiang Zhi was furious. Her well - prepared excellent crying scene was interrupted just like that. She felt a lump of anger stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down. Was this bitch Jiang Miaomiao deliberately stealing her spotlight?
At this moment, Gu Xize, who was supposed to play the young master, made his entrance. But he didn't want to call Jiang Zhi "mother" or Zhou Huai "father". Although he knew it was just acting, as an idol without acting experience, he really couldn't bring himself to do it. Moreover, Sister Zhizhi was the woman he liked. How could he call her "mother"? Anyway, the plot was already so absurd. He might as well make it even more so. He wanted to act as a couple with Sister Zhizhi! So, he looked at the master: "Actually, I'm not your son. I'm your rival in love."
"?" The master, on the verge of death, sat up in shock: "What did you say!"
Gu Xize put his arm around Jiang Zhi: "Zhizhi and I are a couple. You're the third - party. Your daughter is actually the daughter of Zhizhi and me."
[Dude, this is a bit too much. It's all messed up in generations.]
[Shocking! The rival in love has been plotting for years just to call me "father".]
[Who can relate, guys? The old master wakes up to find his son has become his rival in love, his daughter has become his rival's daughter, and his wife has become his rival's wife.]
[What should I do? I really like this crazy plot.]
Zhou Huai on the ground, seeing how they were acting, couldn't stand it either. He patted Gu Xize on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Son, actually I've known for a long time that you're not my son, because you're my grandson."
[Ahahaha]
[How come it seems both absurd and a bit mean?]
[I feel like they're not seriously making up the plot anymore. They either want each other to be their son or their grandson.]
The audience was enjoying themselves, but Jiang Zhi's face turned black. What on earth were these people doing?! All the opportunities she had carefully prepared to showcase her acting skills were ruined by them.
But just then, Wang Yufei also cheerfully joined the chaotic act: "There's something I have to tell you. Actually, I'm an immortal cultivator, and I'm your ancestor."
After Wang Yufei said this, Jiang Zhi's face sank to the bottom.
"Enough! Have you had enough of this nonsense?" Her eyes were red with anger: "Acting is a serious and professional matter, not a game for you to play and make fun of!"
"Uh..." The guests were stunned, feeling quite speechless. They were just filming a variety show, not shooting a movie. Why be so serious?
[What's Jiang Zhi doing? She's being too nitpicky.]
[Aren't we watching variety shows for fun and to enjoy our meals? Who wants to watch serious acting in a variety show?]
[She really knows how to ruin the atmosphere. Everyone was having a good time just now, and she had to come out and act all sensible. So weird.]
[What do you know? Zhizhi is such a serious actress when it comes to acting. Who said acting in variety shows doesn't need to be taken seriously?]
[Yeah, yeah, your sister is such a great actress. I haven't seen her act in any good shows, but she always claims to be a good actress. How shameless.]
[Laughing out loud. What are Jiang Zhi's masterpieces?]
After being yelled at by Jiang Zhi, this impromptu performance had to end. Director Guo was a bit unhappy. He still had a lot of plot ideas to act out.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi also felt a bit regretful. She had been so angry just now that she couldn't hold back. Now the audience would surely blame her for ruining the atmosphere. To salvage her image in the audience's eyes, Jiang Zhi smiled and took the initiative to apologize to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't control my emotions just now. I hope you can forgive me."
After all, it was a variety show. Even if the other guests were annoyed, they wouldn't show it. Everyone just pretended not to care and forgave her: "It's okay."
Seeing Jiang Zhi blaming herself, Gu Xize felt very bad. Sister Zhizhi was so kind - hearted. She was blaming herself for such a small thing. He must help her.
On the other side, Mrs. Fu and Liu Mingyue were talking about famous paintings.
"I really like Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'. The sense of loneliness and struggle in this painting makes me somewhat empathize."
"Well, I prefer traditional Chinese paintings. Oh, I don't really understand paintings. I just like the Chinese style."
Mrs. Wang also came over and pointed at a photo on her phone: "I don't understand paintings either. What's the name of this painting? It looks quite nice."
Seeing them talking about paintings, Jiang Zhi saw an opportunity.
[Original text: Jiang Zhi confidently stepped forward. She decided to build an image of an articulate and talented woman on the show. She must show off her knowledge through these paintings and surely shine.]
Jiang Miaomiao narrowed her eyes as she watched the plot.
[System, change 'articulate' to 'blurting out profanity', the 'profanity' referring to swear words.]
Behold, Jiang Zhi raised her lips and stepped forward. She glanced at the painting in Mrs. Wang's photo, then smiled gently: "Son of a bitch! This painting is 'Ophelia's Glance Back'. It was created by the British painter Arthur Hughes in 1852."
? Everyone was stunned.
What the... Was Jiang Zhi out of her mind?
[Why did Jiang Zhi suddenly swear?]
[I feel a bit disillusioned. Why is she swearing?]
Realizing what she had just said, Jiang Zhi was also dumbfounded.
Damn it! Her body seemed to be out of control again. She had actually sworn!
Seeing her like this, Gu Xize was very worried: "Sister Zhizhi, are you okay? Are you too tired? How about I take you back to your room to rest?"
Jiang Zhi nodded and gave Gu Xize a grateful smile: "Go to hell!"
