2422 Twins
“It’s okay. I’m well-prepared.” Luo Lin held the script in his hand. This time, the director had only asked to audition for two scenes, but he had read the contents of the script carefully and made all kinds of notes.
He was already familiar with the entire script; not just the two scenes he would be auditioning.
He had already done his best to make preparations.
At this moment, he was confident.
“That’s true. I almost forgot that you never fight unprepared battles.”
Luo Lin smiled. “Yes, it’s the path I chose. I have to walk it well.”
“I knew you’d do your best!”
“You have the semi-finals today, right?” Luo Lin asked.
“Yes, yes. I’ll be going on stage later. It’s a live-stream this time, so I’m still a little nervous.”
Luo Lin’s voice came like a spring breeze. “Drink some black coffee later. It’ll reduce your swelling and ease your tension.”
“Okay! I haven’t finished the drinks you gave me last time. I’ll open a can later! They’re calling me now. I’ll go prepare!”
“Xinyue…” Luo Lin smiled and said, “…I hope there’ll be good news for us today.”
“Definitely!”
Xinyue put down her phone and saw that Lil Han was calling her.
“What is it?”
“Ms. Zhang wants to see you. She wants you to go over.”
Xinyue glanced at Zhang Xi’s dressing room and saw that Zheng Lida had also entered.
She immediately realized that something was wrong.
Just like last time, Zheng Lida was deliberately plotting something between him and her.
It was most likely the same this time.
Fortunately, they were on set, so they would not dare to go too far.
“Wait for me. I’ll be right there.” Xinyue ran back to her lounge, took something out of her suitcase, and put it on.
Zhang Xi and Zheng Lida were already waiting for Xinyue in the dressing room.
Hearing a knock on the door, Zheng Lida went to open it. Xinyue appeared with a bright smile.
If it weren’t for the fact that one did not have a lot of freedom as an actor, Zheng Lida couldn’t help but think that it wouldn’t be a loss to date her.
“Ms. Zhang, why are you looking for me?” Xinyue asked.
“Xinyue, you should know that it’s quite difficult for you to stay in this show until the finals, right?”
Zhang Xi asked.
Xinyue nodded. “Yes, yes. Everyone’s acting skills are very good. I still have a lot to learn.”
“It’s good that you know. The exposure for the finals will be high. The viewership ratings for the finals will be completely different from now.”
“Ms. Zhang, you’re right.”
“But if you’re eliminated now, you won’t be able to enjoy these benefits,” Zhang Xi said indifferently.
“That’s why I have to work harder to stay!” Xinyue made a fist to encourage herself.
Everything about her reminded others of a little girl. She was completely untainted by the mortal world and was very cute.
Zhang Xi finally understood why so many people were praising her looks now.
“Although your efforts are important, you don’t have many fans now. It won’t be easy for you to stay.”
Xinyue blinked. “Then what should I do?”
“I suggest that you and Lida take some photos together and release them to cooperate with the publicity. This won’t violate any principles, and it can also increase your popularity, no?”
To put it bluntly, Zhang Xi wanted to create a ship within the show.
Actually, the fans of this ship did not need to see too much information about the actors. They could use their imagination once there was something to trigger a spark.
The schemes from two days ago did not work, so Zhang Xi spoke up directly.
She did not believe that Xinyue would reject such an opportunity.
Xinyue thought for a moment, sat down, and said, “I see, but I don’t know if it’s convenient.”
When she sat down, her wrist was exposed from her sleeve.
A watch appeared on her wrist.
Zhang Xi’s attention was immediately attracted. She showed a serious look and could not help but gasp.
Xinyue sighed and said, “Isn’t it inconvenient for me to get my photos taken with a guy?”
“That’s indeed the case. Why don’t we forget about it for the time being? We’ll talk about it next time,” Zhang Xi said.
“Alright, let’s talk about it in the future. I’m leaving now. Bye, Ms. Zhang.”
After Xinyue left, Zheng Lida asked curiously, “Ms. Zhang, why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“Did you see the watch on Xinyue’s wrist?”
“I did. I think it’s a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. Does this have anything to do with you changing your mind?”
“That watch is a limited edition. There are only five pieces sold worldwide. It’s worth nearly ten million.” Zhang Xi had planned to buy it in the past, but because she didn’t meet the requirements, she couldn’t get it.
“Xinyue’s family background is average. Her father runs a small business, and her mother is just a housewife. Yet she has such a watch…”
Zheng Lida did not finish his sentence.
However, the two of them knew very well that if Xinyue could not afford it, someone must have given it to her.
To be able to give her such a watch, that person’s status must not be underestimated.
In that case, there was no need to offend Xinyue and the big shot behind her because of this small benefit.
Zheng Lida couldn’t help but mock, “I couldn’t tell. She looks cute on the surface, but she has a backer.”
“Forget it. There’s no such thing as a real fool in this industry. You, on the other hand… You spent a few million on drinking and eating for no reason. You’re really…” Zhang Xi was a little speechless.
Zheng Lida was speechless as well.
“Alright, focus on this competition. Let Xinyue be eliminated as soon as possible. She can’t cause trouble for us because of that.”
Zheng Lida said, “Got it.”
Qiao Weiyang was working outside when she saw Xinyue walking out of Zhang Xi’s dressing room. She frowned slightly. “Xinyue, why was Zhang Xi looking for you?”
“She wants to create a ship. Why does she have to do things so abnormally? Can’t we just rely on our acting skills to record the show? What’s with the need to create a ship?! This isn’t a drama!” Xinyue was a little annoyed with herself.
“They didn’t bully you, did they?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
Xinyue shook her wrist. “I wore this. Zhang Xi knows her stuff. When she saw it, she didn’t dare to fool around anymore.”
Qiao Weiyang also recognized it. “A limited edition watch from Jaeger-LeCoultre? There are only five of them in the world.”
No wonder Zhang Xi was stunned and did not dare to act rashly.
“Yes, I wore a relatively famous watch to scare her. There are some watches that outsiders don’t know about, so I didn’t wear those.”
Qiao Weiyang laughed. “I didn’t expect you to be such a smart person.”
“I’m just innocent; I’m not stupid.” Xinyue smiled happily. “Then I’ll go prepare. See you later.”
In order to suppress Xinyue’s scenes, Zheng Lida was fully prepared.
