Chapter 293: Disappointment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Those dramas that no one chose would eventually become the home of the remaining celebrity students.
Lu Zhen was the only one in her group. She stood on the stage and felt someone sized up her. She turned around and saw that it was Tang Wei.
Tang Wei looked at Lu Zhen with a complicated expression. Others might not know who had chosen the role of Madam Sharon, but Tang Wei knew best.
After choosing the role, she left the Hall of Classics and sat in the waiting area. Then, she saw Yang Na, who had entered the Hall of Classics behind her, choose Madam Sharon, but she was told that the role had already been chosen.
The production team probably wanted to market the fact that the two S-rank celebrity students had chosen the same role, so they announced Yang Na’s choice, making the netizens curious about who had chosen this role in advance.
Tang Wei knew that many people guessed that she had chosen Madam Sharon. Perhaps even Shire thought so, because Shire had already looked at her several times just now.
Tang Wei felt extremely bitter. She wanted to tell everyone that she did not choose Madam Sharon.
Of course, Tang Wei knew that Madam Sharon was a very good character. It wasn’t that she hadn’t been tempted back then.
However, perhaps because she was 30 years old, Tang Wei no longer had the drive she had when she was young. When she saw the role of Madam Sharon, she was tempted, but she was more worried. She was afraid that she would not be able to act this role well, afraid that she would not be able to surpass Audrey Wall’s performance, afraid that the netizens would say that she did not act well.
Therefore, in the end, Tang Wei still chose a role that she was more confident in controlling.
Madam Sharon was too difficult. She did not dare to challenge her.
It was not until Yang Na was told by the production team that Madam Sharon had been chosen by others that Tang Wei realized that Lu Zhen had chosen the role of Madam Sharon.
Tang Wei’s first reaction was shock. Then, a complicated feeling of shame and regret surged in her heart. She did not expect Lu Zhen to dare to challenge this role. Perhaps it was because young people did not consider the consequences, or perhaps Lu Zhen was too anxious to prove herself, so she chose the most difficult role among all the roles, but she did not consider what would happen if this matter failed.
However, these excuses could not completely comfort the disdain in Tang Wei’s heart.
A young actress like Lu Zhen dared to challenge herself, but she was timid and was only willing to linger in her comfort zone. Moreover, Lu Zhen could be said to be a top female artist in the entertainment industry now. Lu Zhen was not afraid of failure, but she, the outdated movie queen, was worried about being discussed.
Tang Wei thought about her original intention for participating in this show. On one hand, she wanted the audience to remember her and become famous again, obtaining more opportunities.
She was already 30 years old. Although winning the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress had brought her a lot of praise and honor, there were still not many good roles looking for her. She did not like bad roles, so she did not have much work in the past two years, and the audience almost could not remember her.
On the other hand, Tang Wei also wanted to come here to break through. Although she was confident in her acting skills, she knew very well that she was not a talented actress.
If she had a strong enough understanding of acting, she wouldn’t have gotten the first Best Actress award in the country at the age of 30.
This time, Celebrity Performance Class 2 had invited heavyweight directors and flying guests from the entertainment industry. To celebrities who were sincerely here to learn and improve, this was a good opportunity. Who knew, one word from any director would give them an epiphany. Then this trip would be worth it.
However, after coming to this show, Tang Wei seemed to have forgotten her original intention. She only wanted to protect her image as the Best Actress in the eyes of the audience. She only wanted to get attention.
At the same time, she was unwilling to challenge herself, let alone face any criticism and disappointment.
In this aspect, Lu Zhen, who was much more popular than her, was clearly more calm and did not have many worries.
Tang Wei had previously observed that Lu Zhen would not say much in front of the camera. She would only respond politely when others mentioned her and appear low-key and humble. However, today, Lu Zhen was different from being low-key in terms of personality. She boldly chose an extremely difficult character in the Hall of Classics.
Tang Wei believed that Lu Zhen was not 100% confident about such a character who had once made things difficult for Audrey Wall..
