This star is from the earth - #428 - Chapter 413 Don't If
The movie has already wrapped up, and the wrap-up banquet is scheduled for the evening, and drinking is a must. Weng Nanxi wore headphones and returned home with two suitcases. She planned to pack her luggage first, then take a shower and tidy up before setting off for the wrap-up banquet.
The afternoon sun shines on the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Weng Nanxi is packing her luggage in the living room under the bright sunlight. At the same time, she turned on the TV so that there would be some sound in the house.
The TV was turned on, it was Shonan TV, and it was playing a TV series.
Hearing the voice from the TV series, Weng Nanxi couldn’t help but stop what she was doing, and turned to watch the TV.
What appeared on the screen was not the TV series she starred in, but it was also the TV series she was most familiar with.
[It’s been a year. 】 She let out a breath.
When summer comes, students are on vacation. As soon as the students were on vacation, Shonan TV station began to tirelessly rebroadcast their “Zhentai Divine Drama”.
This divine drama is an ancient costume drama set in the Tang Dynasty, with huge investment, grand scenes, excellent production, dedicated actors, love and hatred of family and country in turn. a solid first step. Therefore, every year during the summer and winter vacations of the students, Shonan TV Station will show it, and it will be played again after the first show, and it will be played more than once.
Weng Nanxi was also a student, and she could see this “old friend” every holiday. Weng Nanxi has watched this TV series a long time ago and knows all the plots in it, but she still watches it over and over again seriously.
She likes this TV series, she likes to escape the boring and ignorant small town life through TV, and she also likes the career of an actor, who can experience various life through acting.
The star dream of being an actor has taken root in Weng Nanxi’s heart since then.
Later, she was full of disappointment, and finally escaped from the small town, and became an actress as she wished, appeared on TV, and became a star that other girls couldn’t reach.
Weng Nanxi soon achieved success in the field of TV dramas. A face that makes women tempted, clear and decent conversation, and the suffering of life endowed her with persuasive acting skills, all of which distinguish her from ordinary vases, and her fame immediately catches up with other young actresses.
If she chooses a few more lead actresses to act as the heroine a few more times, appear on variety shows, and become a frequent visitor, life will be very good.
But obviously, Weng Nanxi is not satisfied with [not bad]. TV stardom wasn’t enough to stop her. So she took advantage of the victory to pursue, planning to challenge the big screen.
The agency advised her to wait until she had gained a firm foothold in TV dramas before taking on the challenge of filming, otherwise it would be a pity to fail. But Weng Nanxi didn’t want to wait.
Weng Nanxi has always had her own ideas and insisted on them. The brokerage company is not a big company, and the development process depends on Weng Nanxi. If Weng Nanxi insists on this, the company can only rely on Weng Nanxi. Of course, it’s not her style to block the way out, she will be the supporting actress first, who can attack and defend.
Weng Nanxi carefully selected a film project with potential and suitable for her, and became a member of it step by step.
When she flew abroad with the crew last year, it was the time when Shonan TV’s “Zhentai Shenju” was playing on TV.
Seeing it again in the summer now means the time of the year has passed.
Over the past year, many things she expected have come true. Her performance on the big screen has gained affirmation and opened up the situation. What is shown in front of her is a broader prospect than in the field of TV dramas. It was the first time to become a regular guest on a variety show, and it was also a great success. It successfully created an independent female character set of “I don’t need a man, my mother can live a good life”, and it has faintly become a role model for the majority of women. He received a lot of advertising endorsements from big brands, bought three houses, invested in a restaurant and an online clothing store.
Everything is booming. She is on the path she wants to go.
When the TV was turned on, the TV series was at the end, so the ending song jumped out within a few minutes.
Listening to the familiar music, Weng Nanxi recovered from the wandering thoughts and continued to pack her luggage.
“La la~ la la~ la la la la la~” The noisy opening song of a certain program appeared on the TV.
Weng Nanxi seldom watches variety shows, but she also knows that the upcoming variety show of Shonan TV Station – “Happy Base”.
After [La] on TV, it was “Welcome to “Happy Base”! We are a happy family!”
He Tu appeared on the stage with his [Happy Family] and started chatting.
Weng Nanxi kept taking items out of the box and sorting them.
On the TV, He Tu is hosting: “Today’s guests can be said to be our old friends of “Happy Base”. Because they are the second guest. Speaking of which, the last time they came was half a year ago. , twice a year, four times a year. This frequency is rare in the entertainment circle…”
“Mr. He, since we are old friends, you don’t need to introduce them. You see that the audience in the audience is anxious, so please hurry up and invite them out!”
“Okay, okay, then let’s stop gossiping and welcome today’s guest with applause—【Miracle Boy】!”
The TV camera cut to the fans screaming happily in the audience. Most of the fans are girls, young, with the temperament of being reckless and spending a lot of money for their idols. They held the group posters or nameplates of “Miracle Boys” in their hands. Of course there are also personal fans. And the shots of the program group stayed most often on Zhang Zishang’s personal poster.
Hearing the name of [Miracle Boy], Weng Nanxi once again stopped packing her luggage.
On the way back from the film crew, when she listened to the assistant’s report on the latest developments in the entertainment industry, she heard Han Jue, Zhang Zishang, and “In the Name of the Father”.
In fact, when she was in the crew, she had already heard about “In the Name of the Father” from her peers in her spare time while filming. I know that Han Jue made a big move at the [Extreme Concert].
On the way back here, Weng Nanxi heard [the cool morning dew wets the black dress] on the radio, and heard [each of us is guilty of different crimes] on the store’s broadcast to attract customers. Sin] I heard on passers-by’s mobile phone [My merciful father, I have fallen into the kingdom of sin. Forgive me, my ego. 】
This year, many things that she expected have been achieved, but there are also things that have not been achieved.
Han Jue was beyond her expectations.
The night before boarding the plane to go abroad, she found Han Jue and returned all the things he gave her, including the last trace of her hesitation towards him, to Han Jue.
Those things should have been given to Han Jue a long time ago, but Han Jue kept refusing to accept them. When he called him, he tried to keep the relationship. It was childish to think that if those things hadn’t been returned, they wouldn’t be really over, and Weng Nanxi would call him again and again to contact him.
Now she is ready to turn a new chapter and take on new challenges, and those things that may have hindered her in the past can no longer be muddled.
Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Weng Nanxi lost his patience and issued an ultimatum.
[Xiaoxi, don’t go, okay? I will change, I will really change…]
[You can count it yourself, how many times have you said this sentence? When did you really change? 】
[…Don’t go, okay, I can’t do it without you. 】
[Don’t say things like “I can’t do it without me”, anyone in this world can live without anyone. 】
[I can’t live without you. 】
【What, are you going to die? 】
【meeting. 】
【Whether you die or not has anything to do with me? 】
【…】Han Jue sighed on the other end of the phone, as if he had let all his strength out of this breath.
[Next week, I will go downstairs to your house and deliver the things to you. You stop making excuses for not accepting. That’s it, hang up. 】After Weng Nanxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Then she and Han Jue didn’t contact each other for a week. Contact again, it’s time for her to go downstairs to Han Jue’s house with a box of things to find him.
The short ten-second contact that night is still as clear as what happened yesterday, and it is extremely clear in Weng Nanxi’s memory.
She remembered all the details: Han Jue’s eyes were red as if he had just cried, and there were tears around his eyes. There were traces of sadness on the expression on his face. The ends of her hair were sticking to her forehead due to sweat soaking, and she was a little embarrassed. When the whole person is unusually calm, the dress is also unexpectedly simple. When seeing her, Han Jue didn’t react at all, didn’t force a smile, didn’t kneel down to persuade her to stay, and didn’t even say anything.
The person who liked her so much and didn’t want to break up suddenly seemed to be a different person. He saw everything and let go. This made Weng Nanxi, who thought that Han Jue would make trouble until the last moment, a little unexpected. Weng Nanxi wanted to say something after putting down the box, but she was afraid of giving the wrong signal, so she turned around and left without saying anything.
Han Jue didn’t hold back.
From then on, Han Jue never kept her again.
Weng Nanxi is not a person who likes to think “what if” after the fact. Originally, she tried to redeem this relationship, but in the face of Han Jue’s cold reaction, Weng Nanxi could not see any hope. [Forget it] She thought. Later, when I met Zhang Yiman and confronted him, I just wanted to find out [why]. However, more than half a month ago, she listened to the songs in “Suitable for Zhang Zishang”, especially after listening to “Dream” many times on a loop, she has thought about the so-called “if” countless times.
Because she saw hope again. She is not afraid of being hated, but afraid of being ignored. But seeing Zhang Yiman’s hostility towards her and listening to those songs, she felt that Han Jue was not completely relieved of their relationship.
She still counts.
So Weng Nanxi couldn’t stop thinking:
If that night, after returning the box, she said the words that were lingering on her lips.
If she hadn’t returned the box to Han Jue that night.
If it was the last call, she finally gave Han Jue a chance to change.
If Han Jue had become more competitive earlier…
if……
Weng Nanxi thought a lot, but she is a pragmatic person after all, knowing that no matter how much “if” she thinks and does not act, it will only make herself more and more uncomfortable.
She doesn’t like “if”, so she is ready to make it up, ready to fight for it.
Ready to take back what belonged to her.
But Weng Nanxi was not in a hurry to act. One is that she does not fight unprepared battles, and the other is to wait for the best time.
Han Jue and Zhang Yiman have some signs now, but Weng Nanxi is not panicked. She is well versed in the rules of the game, knowing that Han Jue and Zhang Yiman will eventually separate, so naturally she doesn’t have to give away her experience for nothing. Besides, by then, she will have many “allies” that she can use to increase the success rate.
So, what she has to do now is to collect information about Han Jue, put aside her existing impressions, and get to know Han Jue again.
