Pei Xiujie got off work very early today, and when he returned to the cabin, Jiang Ziyi was sitting in the living room reading a book. Jiang Ziyi was a little surprised when she saw Pei Xiujie. She rarely saw Pei Xiujie before dinner on weekdays.

As for Fu Yu, he was even busier. If he hadn't been notified in advance to come back early, he would not have returned to the cabin before ten o'clock.

"You're back so early today?"

Pei Xiujie nodded.

"Nothing happens today. Pei Xiao is not with you?"

Ever since Pei Xiao and Jiang Ziyi became roommates, they have been together most of the time, probably because they have similar daily routines.

Pei Xiujie found it a little strange that he saw Jiang Ziyi sitting alone in the living room today.

Jiang Ziyi lowered her head and continued reading the book in her hand while speaking.

"She went to the company today and has been upstairs since she came back."

As she spoke, Jiang Ziyi suddenly remembered something and looked up at Pei Xiujie with a hint of interest in her eyes.

"That's great. Why don't you go upstairs and ask her if she's going to cook tonight? Or should I cook?"

Pei Xiujie suddenly remembered the burnt smell that filled the room the night before, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I'll go find her right away."

Looking at Pei Xiujie's anxious back, Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but chuckle.

After going upstairs, Pei Xiujie went to Pei Xiao's room to look for her first, but there was no response after knocking on the door for a long time.

Pei Xiujie left Pei Xiao's room with a suspicious look on his face. When he passed by the terrace, he saw a very familiar figure.

"Why are you here?"

Pei Xiao's gaze moved from the flying birds in the distance to his side. Seeing Pei Xiujie, Pei Xiao looked at the time with some surprise.

It's not time for dinner yet.

"You have nothing to do, so you're just here to look at the scenery. You got off work pretty early today."

Pei Xiujie looked at Pei Xiao and felt that Pei Xiao was in a somewhat listless state.

"Having a bad mood?"

Pei Xiao shook his head, thought of the elimination system of the first episode of "Life is a Drama", and nodded hesitantly.

Pei Xiujie couldn't help laughing when he saw her nodding and shaking her head.

"What happened that made you so confused?"

Pei Xiao was silent for a while before speaking somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm going to participate in an acting competition variety show, and I'm about to record the first episode."

Pei Xiujie remembered that they seemed to have talked about a program called "Life is Like a Drama" before. He remembered that Jiang Ziyi and Gu Panxia would also participate in that program.

But, what happened to this show?

Pei Xiujie tilted his head to listen to Pei Xiao continue speaking.

"But the first episode was divided into eight groups. Of the 8 contestants, only 30 were able to continue recording the second episode. If they were not chosen by the mentors, they would be eliminated directly."

Pei Xiujie frowned. Eliminating two out of 30 people was not a bad probability. Pei Xiujie rarely watched TV series, and had never watched Pei Xiao's drama, so he had no idea how good Pei Xiao's acting skills were.

“Are you worried you’ll be eliminated?”

Pei Xiao held his chin and sighed without saying anything. Pei Xiujie suddenly remembered that he had heard Jiang Ziyi and the others talking before, and they seemed to have said that Pei Xiao's acting skills were not very good.

Pei Xiujie pursed his lips and suddenly felt that he should go and study Pei Xiao's play.

"A few days ago, I was still talking to Ziyi about whether I could join her team. Now it seems that I am not sure whether I can stay."

Pei Xiao's voice was somewhat self-deprecating.

Pei Xiujie wanted to say something to comfort her, but he was not good at speaking. After thinking for a long time, he spoke tentatively.

"This hasn't officially started yet, so you may not be eliminated."

"Even though that's what I said, it seems like I have a higher chance of being eliminated. I've played a lot of roles before, but my performance has never been very good..."

Pei Xiujie asked curiously.

"What kind of roles have you played before?"

Pei Xiao fell into memories.

"I played the supporting role of a rich daughter of an aristocrat. The rich second-generation male protagonist, who was her childhood sweetheart, fell in love with the poor and independent female protagonist. I made things difficult for the female protagonist because of jealousy. In the end, the rich second-generation male protagonist bankrupted my company in order to avenge the female protagonist."

"I also played in a costume drama, where I played an arrogant princess who forced the male protagonist, who was the new top scholar, to marry me. However, he liked the emperor's illegitimate daughter who had been away from home. Later, the male protagonist joined forces with the prince to usurp the throne and became the prime minister, second only to the emperor. He put me in a death cell and won the female protagonist who returned to the royal family and became the eldest princess."

"There are also the only daughters of the big sects in martial arts dramas, and the daughters of the prime minister's family..."

Pei Xiujie frowned when he heard this. He seldom watched TV dramas, and he had even less exposure to the obvious idol dramas starring Pei Xiao. After holding it in for a long time, he finally made a comment.

"The characters you play are all of high status."

Pei Xiao didn't detect the reluctance in Pei Xiujie's words and answered seriously.

"Not really. I've played the role of a prostitute before."

"It seems like you have a lot of acting experience. Did you encounter any problems when you were acting before?"

Hearing Pei Xiujie's question, Pei Xiao fell into deep thought.

When she first met her agent Li Yue, she was very worried. She always thought that acting was something that only professional actors could do, and she was just an ordinary person.

But Li Yue told her that acting can be learned, but her looks are natural and it is a gift from God.

She believed it.

But the fact is that she always failed in the theater and couldn't get into the mood. The audience was not satisfied with the final result and felt that her acting was fake.

Pei Xiao thought about it and slowly told Pei Xiujie.

Although Pei Xiujie didn't know much about acting techniques, he still racked his brains for a long time.

"How did you decide what to act in this show?"

Pei Xiao recalled the information he had seen.

"It should be chosen by oneself in order."

"I don't know much about acting, but if you find it difficult to grasp the role, wouldn't it be better to try some roles that are more similar to yourself first?"

Pei Xiao tilted his head in confusion.

"A character that is similar to me?"

"Yes, maybe there are some characters who are similar to you in personality and experience. Maybe when you play such a role, you will know what kind of expression and state to use."

Pei Xiao lowered his head and thought about it, thinking about the various roles he had played before, which seemed to be very different from his own life. Pei Xiao suddenly felt that what Pei Xiujie said made sense.

But there are very few roles for her to choose from, so there is not much opportunity for her to choose a role that suits her.

"But what actor only plays roles similar to himself?"

Pei Xiujie smiled.

"Everything has to be done step by step. If you can master the interpretation of one role, you can use this experience to try to make a breakthrough when trying other roles. But do many stars transform? Isn't the premise of transformation to first achieve a certain degree of success in one thing?"

Pei Xiujie's words made Pei Xiao's eyes light up. She was obviously anxious when she heard Li Yue say that "Life is a Play" had an elimination system. After listening to Pei Xiujie's words, Pei Xiao gradually found her direction.
