Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

    three hours later.

    The director rested his elbows on his thighs, collapsed and buried his face in his palms, falling into contemplation in despair.

    He’s a director who specialized in low-quality web dramas. He has never had much requirements for the quality of the plot and the acting skills of the actors.

    But… in the more than ten years of his career, he had never seen such a bad actor!

    Won’t stand properly, has no sense of the camera.

    The lines were memorized word for word, but his expressions and body movements were stiff, as if it was a robot with an on-off key behind it, so what was the use of memorising the lines so clearly!

    The director put down his palm in a daze, and weakly shouted:

    “…Ten minutes of rest.”

    Filming stopped.

    All the actors showed resentment instantly, but Lu Nan, who was the culprit, was relieved to stay out of the way, as if he had finally escaped from a long-lasting torture.

    “—Lu Nan, come here.”

    Director shouted from a distance.

    Ge Xiu put down his sleeves and walked towards the direction of the voice.

    The director pulled Ge Xiu aside, with a complicated expression on his face, hesitating on what to say.

    Finally, after considering his words for a long time, he slowly said: “Xiaolu*… I know you have encountered a lot of things recently, your state…”

*Xiao Lu means Little Lu, a close way to adress Lu Nan

    The director froze for a while, and then continued in an extremely reluctant voice: “…Maybe it’s not very good.”

    He took a deep breath and continued: “This…I don’t blame you, I’ll give you three days off, you can think about this role, okay?

    The young man nodded with a sincere attitude:

    “Okay, thank you director.”

    Looking at the innocent-looking young man in front of him, the director felt more and more headache — it’s not that he didn’t want to change people, the main reason was that the cost of the online drama he’s shooting was too low, and there are too few actors willing to take on such a bad drama.

    The director was actually quite self-aware of this.

    And although this guy has been hacked miserably on the Internet recently, being scolded was also traffic!

    After all it was said, negative popularity was also popularity*.

*lit. saying black-red was also red, black-red meaning negative reputation and red meaning popularity.

    He was counting on this drama to be scolded when it was filmed, and to earn some clicks to make a good deal.

    The director patted Ge Xiu on the shoulder and said weakly:

    “…Go ahead.”

    Ge Xiu nodded happily, then turned and left without any psychological burden.

    He gained a lot of knowledge today!

    It was not just standing in front of the camera and reciting lines — en, you can’t look directly at the camera, you can’t directly face the camera, and you can’t just keep reciting lines without giving the other person time to respond.
