Chapter 48 - Zhang Mancha
The assistant director laughed and said, "Lin Xiang, did you see the message I sent you yesterday? I saw that you didn't reply. I was afraid that you wouldn't receive any information, so I called you to inform you. There's a movie for you today, so remember to come over earlier to put on your makeup. "
I opened my eyes wide. Was there a part for me today?
"Ah, alright, alright. I understand. Thank you, Assistant Director!"
The assistant director still maintained an amiable tone: "Lin Xiang ah, we are all on the same side, why are you being so courteous!"
After hanging up the phone, my scalp tingled. Right now, the Assistant Director's attitude towards me still lingered on the part of being a gentle woman. If they knew that I had already broken up with her, who knows what kind of face they would have?
He didn't dare to tarry any longer, and just like what Qin Xin had said, there were no more men, and his children were all about to die too. What was left was only him, I had to rely on myself, I couldn't be defeated, I still had my dreams and dreams, and that was what really mattered to him!
I hurried to the bathroom and turned on the water heater, prepared to wash it properly, then applied a cold towel to my red, swollen eyes.
He cooked a bowl of porridge and fried an egg in the kitchen before rushing to the set.
After leaving the set for a long time, I suddenly came back with a strange feeling. The people on the set treated me with great care and courtesy, and even though I was smiling, I felt sad inside. Everyone likes me, is friendly to me, not because I'm nice, not because of my acting skills, but because I have a powerful man behind me.
How laughable, that I am such a failure in my life!
I know, I must now work hard to enrich myself, enrich myself, make myself worthy of praise, make myself talented!
Because I arrived early, I was the first to put on makeup and get ready, so the director decided to shoot me directly.
Although I stayed at home for a long time, I read the script every day. I read the script a lot of times, so without any suspense, I passed it in one go.
I was sitting with my hot water cup in my arms, watching the other actors shoot and waiting for the next one to appear, when I heard the sound of someone outside and I froze.
"Good morning, thinning!"
That gentle voice rang out, "Mm, come over and take a look. There's no need to be so polite."
I could feel my heart pounding and my breath coming out of my mouth. I wished I could calm down, but my heart seemed to be racing with anxiety.
I'm slowly coming. He came to find me?
Could it be that he wanted to tell me that everything that happened yesterday was a misunderstanding and that he had his own difficulties and that he wanted me to forgive him because he wanted to see if I was safe?
Before he even got close, I had already forgiven him in my heart. As long as he came, I wouldn't even need him to apologize. I felt that I would be able to ignore what he had said yesterday and let the past drift away with the wind. We could still be together.
I nervously and excitedly put the cup of water to the side, stood up to welcome him, because I already can't wait for the slow initiative to find me, the movie set is so chaotic, so many people, what if they can't find me?
But just as I turned around, Zhang Mancha's gentle figure entered my sight, and even more so pierced my heart …
I really want to shout towards the sky, Lin Xiang, you are simply too ridiculous!
I'm afraid there's no one more ridiculous than me in this world. I'm actually an apologetic person who came to apologize to me. The reality is like a resounding slap to my face, causing my face to turn red.
Zhang Mancha's hand was in the middle of her gentle arm and the two of them approached each other from afar. They slowly walked towards me and from beginning to end, didn't even glance at each other;
I was like a statue as I stood dumbly by the side watching a bunch of people walk past me. My legs felt like they were filled with lead, making them so heavy that I couldn't lift them up.
I couldn't see any of the whispers and jokes surrounding me, only the two that matched each other so well.
He had just walked past me, and I lowered my head, wanting to squeeze out the tears in my eyes, because it had already blurred my vision. It was then that I heard Zhang Mancha say in a heavenly voice: "Hey, wait, look, she looks like I do! What was her name? "So it turns out that I look like a celebrity. This is such a great feeling!"
He turned his head gently to follow Zhang Mancha's gaze to look at me, and then, without any hesitation, he turned his head back and pulled Zhang Mancha's hand as he said, "She's just a minor actor, so she's not that famous. If you want to be a star, or if you want to make a movie about her, you can do it anytime!"
"Me? How could I? Besides, didn't the auction already start earlier? "
"So what? As long as you like it." His slow answer was quick and straightforward.
"As long as you want to shoot her, you can just let them cut her off!" The words that came out of his mouth was light and light, yet it made Zhang Mancha quite surprised.
"How can that be?"
He gently placed his hand on Zhang Mancha's shoulder, pushed the hair on her forehead back, and said with warmth: "Why not, Mancha, this is the place that my company invested in and shot. And the reason I invested in the film industry back then, was all for you, just you alone!"
Zhang Mancha's surprised expression immediately changed to one of laughter, and she gently waved her hand, saying, "It's actually like this, but I can't even remember what happened earlier. What a pity."
Her gentle expression was somewhat livid, but she didn't say anything more.
I felt that it was unnecessary for me to stand there. I turned around to leave, wanting to find a hidden corner to hide in, wanting to lick my own ugly wounds.
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Mancha suddenly said.
I stopped walking. Was she calling me?
Then I turned my head.
Zhang Mancha turned around and slowly said, "Can I talk to this lady for a bit? "We look so similar. I've never seen anyone who looks so similar to me before!"
I panicked a little, as if I had been caught stealing something. I stood there at a loss, sweat dripping down my palms.
Every word was like a sharp blade that pierced my already weak and ruined heart, "What is there to talk about with her? It's just a nameless minor actor, she's in a completely different world from us, there's nothing much to talk about with her. Let's go! "
After that, she gently embraced Zhang Mancha and left, while I stood there alone, tears streaming down my face …
