The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Chapter 258 Shen Ji tries a drama

Last night, Shen Ji sat quietly by the window, looking at the starry sky outside, thinking about the activities for the next afternoon. This afternoon, he and Lu Qingxi were immersed in the world of tea opera. Although both of them had a strong interest in this ancient art, the skill that required a high degree of concentration did make them feel a little tired.

Shen Ji knew that every moment spent with Lu Qingxi was precious, and he hoped to bring her a relaxing and happy afternoon. However, when he thought of Lu Qingxi watching a movie with Zhou Siming, his brows slightly frowned, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​watching a movie at home. He didn't want Lu Qingxi to repeat the time she spent with others in the same place, which seemed to be an unspeakable regret to him.

Shen Ji took a deep breath and calmed down his heart. He turned his head and gently looked at Lu Qingxi who was teasing the steamed buns beside him, and asked softly: "Do you have anything special you want to do this afternoon? Or is there any place you want to go?" Lu Qingxi raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head gently, smiled and said: "I don't have any special ideas, I can watch anything."

After Shen Ji heard Lu Qingxi's reply, the enthusiastic face of the director suddenly appeared in his mind. He had sincerely invited him to join the stage of the drama many times. He put down the teacup in his hand, walked towards Lu Qingxi, and whispered: "Qingxi, I have an idea. A director has been inviting me to participate in a drama. I thought about it and thought it might be a good idea to take you to see it."

Lu Qingxi didn't raise her head, her mind was all on Mantou, and she replied calmly: "Sure, I'll do as you say."

Shen Ji's plan gradually became clear. He walked out of the cabin and immediately met the eyes of the director team not far away. He elaborated on his proposal in detail. After listening to Shen Ji's ideas, the members of the director team had excitement in their eyes. They knew Shen Ji's influence and charm. His presence undoubtedly brought huge traffic and attention to the program. More importantly, this was Shen Ji's first time to set foot in the field of drama. Its freshness and challenge would undoubtedly attract more audiences. So they all expressed their 100% agreement and willingness to cooperate with his ideas.

Soon, everything was ready. Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi walked through the back door of the theater. They did not go directly to the auditorium, but were taken to the backstage by the theater staff. The air backstage was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and the actors were rehearsing for the afternoon performance.

Shen Ji stood beside Lu Qingxi and told her about his relationship with the director and his concerns about not trying drama before. He took a deep breath, and with a hint of anticipation and nervousness, he turned to Lu Qingxi and asked, "Qingxi, do you think I am suitable for drama?"

Although Lu Qingxi came from another world, she had a deep understanding of Shen Ji's acting skills from the original owner's memory. She knew that Shen Ji's acting skills were impeccable, and he had a natural talent for acting and profound artistic accomplishment. She looked at Shen Ji with encouragement and trust in her eyes, and said softly: "Shen Ji, you have to believe in yourself. Your talent and potential are unlimited, and you can definitely play any role, including drama."

Shen Ji felt a warm current in his heart when he heard Lu Qingxi's words. He looked at Lu Qingxi with a complicated look. He was a person who would not take action until he was 100% prepared, so he had never made up his mind to try the drama. He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, turned around and walked towards Director Fu who had been silently watching him from the left.

Director Fu's eyes focused on Shen Ji's gradually approaching figure. He first examined Shen Ji, then glanced behind him inadvertently, his eyes fell on the woman who was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her. He smiled slightly, as if he had seen through all the secrets, and asked, "Teacher Shen, why did you decide to come here so suddenly today?"

Shen Ji's steps were firm, his eyes revealed a frank and determined look, and he replied: "Director Fu, I have seriously considered your proposal before, and I have decided to accept it. Can we start trying it today?"

Director Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. His laughter was full of joy and anticipation: "Haha, great, great! It seems that I have finally succeeded in dragging you into this trap!" He paused for a moment, as if to give Shen Ji some time to buffer, and then changed the subject and pointed out directly: "But, I guess, all this is because of the beautiful girl behind?"

Shen Ji was exposed by Fu's words, but he did not show any embarrassment or shyness. He turned back calmly and looked at the woman who was shining in the crowd, with a firm light in his eyes: "I have to admit that I am indeed because of her. I don't know how to attract her attention, but I believe that if I stand on the stage, she will definitely see it."

Director Fu looked at Shen Ji's eyes full of perseverance and affection, and couldn't help but secretly admire her. He stepped forward, patted Shen Ji on the shoulder, and encouraged her: "Teacher Shen, you have to believe in yourself. Your talent and charm are unmatched. As long as you stand on the stage, you will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention. She will see you, she will."

When it came to selecting the script, Shen Ji chose "Home" without hesitation. He had already memorized the play by heart, and every line and every scene was deeply engraved in his mind. Therefore, when he got the script, the familiarity came over him like a tide, making him more determined in his choice.

Shen Ji is a natural actor, which was fully demonstrated during the rehearsal process. It took him only half an hour to memorize all the lines, movements, and facial expressions. With such concentration and dedication, it was as if he had become the vivid character in the script, experiencing the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play.

Lu Qingxi sat aside, watching Shen Ji's rehearsal quietly. She had never seen Shen Ji so focused before. His every look and every movement was full of power, which made her fall into the world of drama involuntarily. She found that when Shen Ji devoted himself to the performance, he seemed to be a different person, and that kind of charm made her admire him a little.

As the rehearsal progressed, everyone began to prepare to perform on stage. Lu Qingxi's seat was specially arranged on the third floor facing the stage so that she could see Shen Ji's performance more clearly. Shen Ji took a special look at Lu Qingxi's seat before the performance. At that moment, his heart was filled with tension and anticipation. He unconsciously clenched his hands, took a few deep breaths, and then walked towards his seat.

When the lights came on and the music started, Shen Ji began his performance. He seemed to have really traveled back to that era and became the character struggling to survive in the family dispute. His performance was sincere and moving, and every detail was handled just right. Lu Qingxi looked at Shen Ji on the stage, as if he was also brought into that world and felt the charm of a drama.

After the performance, Shen Ji looked up and waved to Lu Qingxi. At that moment, his eyes were full of tenderness.
