Chapter 61 I'll Do My Best

Ning Baicha has a good personality and is good at talking.

Even though the assistant director was a little annoyed with her just now, he no longer had any temper. He laughed twice, patted his thigh, pointed at Ning Baicha and said, "In the entire troupe, you are the best at talking."

He looked at the people on the stage: "What do you think?"

Director Chen is a straightforward person, but he is not a good person. He opened a back door for Ning Baicha, but other competitors who registered may not be happy.

If this is not handled properly, these people will not cause trouble for Director Chen, but will dislike Ning Baicha.

The actors on the stage who were originally practicing their own performances all stopped and gathered here with Xue Zixuan as the center.

The boys were arm in arm.

Girls holding hands.

Changing roles is a common occurrence in a theater troupe, and most of the time everyone speaks based on their own abilities.

However, everyone also knew Ning Baicha's background.

A minor character who is famous for his love of freeloading.

Now that I'm a little bit popular, I'm taking advantage of that to join the troupe.

According to rumors, Ning Baicha has no basic skills at all, although in reality, everyone thinks she dances pretty well.

But no one would admit that Ning Baicha dances better than those of them who have practiced hard for more than ten or twenty years.

It not only slaps them in the face, but also destroys their hope.

Others have worked hard for more than ten or twenty years, but Ning Baicha has surpassed them by just dancing for a few days. If this is true, anyone can replace them, and they have no reason to stay in the troupe.

Out of respect for their superiors, everyone did not express much disapproval of Ning Baicha, but one could still vaguely see that everyone was rejecting her.

A little girl spoke up: "Director Chen, are you going to give Cha Cha a backdoor? We don't agree. We should all go together, that's fair."

"Yes, if Director Chen watched Cha Cha's performance and thought she danced well, and immediately decided on her instead of us, what should we do?"

Although it was a joke, it secretly expressed dissatisfaction.

Director Chen was not in a hurry and nodded: "Then let's do it together. Those who want to compete for this role, prepare yourself. I don't have to make the final decision alone. Everyone else, watch it together in the audience and vote. Whoever gets the most votes will play the role of Qiu."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other.

Several girls vying for this role were originally holding hands, but they suddenly let go and went their separate ways.

Director Chen turned to look at Ning Baicha: "Are you feeling stressed?"

"Yes." Ning Baicha admitted with a smile, "I am indeed not as good as some of the sisters here. After all, they have been with Director Chen in the troupe for three to five years. First of all, in terms of acting skills, I am already one level behind them."

Director Chen suddenly pointed at a girl and said, "Chen Ying, my niece, actually understands this character better than you do."

Ning Baicha looked at the girl.

The girl had a bun on her head and was wearing a dance costume. She looked at people with her chin slightly raised, looking as arrogant as a little swan. It wasn't that she was impolite, it was just her nature. She smiled and greeted Ning Baicha, "Hello."

Ning Baicha also smiled and greeted her: "Hello."

She knew the name of everyone in the troupe, having written them down on the roster on her first day, but she had never been able to match the names with the people.

Director Chen said: "Chen Ying is your biggest rival, the others are slightly inferior to you."

Chen Ying was a little unhappy: "Uncle, I don't agree with what you said. I am indeed much better than others, but we all learned dancing since childhood. As far as I know, Ning Baicha only taught herself for a few days and then came to the troupe. You agreed to let Ning Baicha join the group because you were an acquaintance and didn't want to offend him."

Ning Baicha was a little surprised. Chen Ying said these words directly, which was simply not giving Director Chen any face and also tearing off the only fig leaf.

Everyone has always been aware of this kind of backdoor dealings, but those who understand the ways of the world will not reveal it so bluntly.

Chen Ying, however, seemed to be very skilled at it.

Ning Baicha did not refute her. After all, she was able to enter the troupe thanks to Chang Mengyu's face.

"You just heard it from someone else. Your arrogance will only hurt you sooner or later." Director Chen did not give Chen Ying any face. "After all these days, haven't you noticed that her dancing skills are no worse than yours?"

Chen Ying's eyebrows twitched, and her suspicious eyes fell on Ning Baicha: "It's indeed much better than I thought, and can keep up with the rhythm of rehearsal."

"She has been learning dancing for as long as you have, maybe even longer." Director Chen sneered, "Do you really think I am old and blind and will recruit anyone into the troupe?"

With Director Chen's approval, everyone took a serious look at Ning Baicha for the first time.

Chen Ying also became a little nervous: "Then we'll have to see if she can be my opponent."

Director Chen shook his head: "Alright, I know many of you are unwilling to accept this, after all, you think Ning Baicha knows nothing and just joined the troupe. This time, I will give you a chance to compete head-on, and make you convinced. Hurry up and get ready, clear the stage, and the competition will begin in half an hour!"

Ning Baicha leaned over and apologized to Director Chen: "Thank you, Director Chen."

"Go ahead and surprise me."

Ning Baicha secretly cheered herself up. She returned to the changing room and bumped into everyone who was getting ready.

She nodded and greeted them.

We are all in the same troupe, we see each other every day, and the troupe led by Director Chen does not have so many bad habits.

The reason I didn't play with her before was because I felt that Ning Baicha's background was not legitimate.

Now that Director Chen has cleared her name, everyone is willing to show their goodwill.

"Show us your true abilities later, don't let us have the upper hand!"

"We lost and we accept it sincerely. If you lose, you should also accept it sincerely. It's fair to everyone."

Ning Baicha breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that in the original book, everyone in the troupe was pretty good. Although they had some minor flaws, they were not a big problem. They were very united. At that time, many readers left comments in the book, suspecting that the author had stolen the protagonists from some other book and used them as supporting roles for Ning Baixuan.

"I will do my best!" Ning Baicha said decisively.

Giving your all in front of people who value strength is the way to show respect to them.

Finally, it’s Chen Ying.

Although she was a little arrogant, she was not a bad person by nature. She crossed her arms and said, "Although my uncle said that you do have real evidence, I don't believe it. It was my fault for hearsay before, but today, let's have a real fight!"

Ning Baicha raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist and looked at her.

"What?" Chen Ying stared at her. "Want to bribe me?"

Ning Baicha smiled, took the initiative to reach out and hold her left hand, then touched her left hand with her right hand: "I wish my sister, me and all the sisters success."

Chen Ying's face turned red.
