Dreams Were Not High nor Low, But There Was a Certain Level of Writing.
“……” Qu Zhi nodded and said, “But my writing skills are good.”
Zheng Baozhu, “……
“Heh,” Zheng Baozhu scoffed arrogantly and turned to leave.
As soon as she returned to her room, she heard a “ding” on her phone. It was a notification from the foreground group. Almost as soon as the message was sent out, someone replied to sign up. Zheng Baozhu had followed Wang Jingyi’s advice before and already sorted out her information in a saved note. She quickly copied it.
Her hand speed wasn’t bad, so she was in the top ten. The group management committee made their selections according to the order of registration and announced the names.
Zheng Baozhu’s name luckily appeared on the group leader’s final list, just behind Wang Jingyi’s name. Just as she was about to poke Wang Jingyi, Wang Jingyi sent her a message: [Congratulations, we can go to the set tomorrow!]
Zheng Baozhu: [Yes!]
Wang Jingyi: [Every day at this time, the group will send a pre-registration message. Your hand speed must be fast!]
Zheng Baozhu: [Yeah, it’s really exciting to snatch the announcement!]
Zheng Baozhu’s heart was still surging with excitement. She planned to wait for the group at this point in the future.
Wang Jingyi: [Hahahahaha, I’ll see you in the parking lot tomorrow. By the way, do you have a folding chair? If not, I’ll bring one for you tomorrow.]
Zheng Baozhu: [Thank you, sister! I’ll prepare one later.]
Wang Jingyi replied: [Yes, I’ve prepared my own chairs where the crew doesn’t sit.]
Wang Jingyi also explained some group acting skills to Zheng Baozhu, so the two of them went to recuperate for tomorrow’s schedule. They had a 9:30 start the following morning. Although Zheng Baozhu lived a little further away, she still had plenty of time.
She woke up early in the morning and opened her fortune app to take a look. Her luck was in brown today.
In the cloakroom, she picked out a caramel silk dress with a light brown wool coat. After changing her clothes, she went to the restaurant for breakfast before taking a taxi to the film studio complex.
Before leaving, she had considered driving on her own. When she considered how tired she might be after filming, she opted for a taxi.
When she arrived at the parking lot, she still had twenty minutes before the agreed upon meet-up time. There were already many people waiting at the scene. They would arrange for a bus to go to the filming site later. Zheng Baozhu was still looking for Wang Jingyi in the crowd when a girl called out to her, “Are you Zheng Baozhu? I’m Wang Jingyi.”
Zheng Baozhu looked at her. The one who called her was a slender girl with long black hair and a delicate, pretty face.
“Hello, I’m Zheng Baozhu,” she smiled and greeted her. When she saw that Wang Jingyi had brought two chairs, Zheng Baozhu hurriedly took one. Wang Jingyi was still sizing her up as she said in surprise, “You’re so pretty, why are you in the standby group?!”
“Eh…” Perhaps her big brother was most familiar with this group leader.
“You are also attractive. Why are you in the standby group?” Zheng Baozhu turned around and asked.
Wang Jingyi said, “I’m not tall enough. If I had made it to168, I’d be in Group 1.”
“Oh, it’s fine,” Zheng Baozhu comforted her. “Anyway, I heard that the salaries of the official group and the standby group are the same.”
“Hahaha, that’s true,” Wang Jingyi replied and looked at Zheng Baozhu again.
Zheng Baozhu had a great look. Although she was not particularly thin, her figure was very good. She was definitely 168 centimeters tall, so it would not be a problem for her to be in the official group. Most importantly, her face was especially good. Wang Jingyi had been in the group show for two months, and she had never seen such a beautiful standby group member.
She suddenly exclaimed, “I heard that Sun Jing had a group member argue with her. Could that have been you?”
Zheng Baozhu blinked in surprise. Was this a good thing and a bad thing?
“How did you hear about that?” she asked.
Wang Jingyi said, “I heard from the other sisters that happened to be in Sun Jing’s group. I heard Sun Jing thought that the group member was too beautiful and would steal her limelight, so Sun Jing wanted to push her out.”
When she first heard this, Wang Jingyi still didn’t believe it. Although Sun Jing’s acting was in question, she was still considered a beauty. She should not be so insecure, right? Now that she had seen Zheng Baozhu for herself, she finally understood.
“Sister, you’re so tough!” Wang Jingyi gave Zheng Baozhu a thumbs up, “We’re the ones with the least human rights on set. You dared to challenge Sun Jing! Bullfrog!”
Zheng Baozhu waved her hand in a gesture for her to lower her tone. “The status of a group act may be low, but there is still wrong and right.”
“You’re right, but in a place like this, whoever is most popular makes the rules.” Wang Jingyi had suffered a lot from acting like a dragon, but she had never dared to challenge the female lead like Zheng Baozhu did.
In this place, not being popular was the original sin.
“I think your clothes are all from the show. Your family’s situation shouldn’t be bad, right?” Wang Jingyi seriously advised Zheng Baozhu, “If it’s possible, you should ask your family to give you some money. It’s much better than being angry with yourself here.”
Zheng Baozhu said, “My family doesn’t agree with me doing this. I’ve come secretly.”
“Oh…I see,” Wang Jingyi nodded. When she heard that everyone was getting into the car, she quickly pulled Zheng Baozhu over. The production bus took an hour to arrive at the filming location. Before the car even stopped, Wang Jingyi grabbed Zheng Baozhu’s hand. Her strength was equal to that of Su Mingxi when she heard that Zheng Baozhu wanted to be a female celebrity.
Zheng Baozhu was surprised and asked, “What happened?”
Wang Jingyi couldn’t help but say excitedly, “This…this is ‘Qing Chen!’ The male lead is Lin Ziqin!”
