So, that was the case . . .

Coincidentally, Ning Xueluo had quit the entertainment industry, and Ning Xi had won the Golden Film Awards . With her fitting image and popularity, the right timing, and favorable social conditions, she landed the role .

“Okay, Sis Zhizhi, got it! I’ll be joining the crew the day after tomorrow, is that right?”

Previously, Ning Xi had understood the role . It was a mysterious Eastern woman with excellent martial arts skills who looked majorly cool . Such a role was not too difficult for someone like her who had a martial arts stuntwoman background .

Nowadays, the Chinese film market was expanding . Even Hollywood could not be indifferent to it . In order to pull this end of the ticket sales, many Hollywood blockbuster movies liked to use this method . They would get an adequately popular Chinese person to star in a supporting role, then when it was promoted in China, they would use this point to boost interest . However, in reality, when it aired in theatres, the Chinese artiste would only be featured in the story for only a few minutes, or even tens of seconds . Even their dialogues would also only be limited to one or two lines .

Previously, when she had done her internship in Hollywood, there was a vast difference between the treatment of Chinese people and white people .

Even though it was very cruel, one could not do anything about it . It was simply how the current situation was .

On the other end of the phone, Ling Zhizhi responded, “Yes, enter the set the day after tomorrow . Because the post-production of ‘Nine Realms’ is complete and it’ll be entering promotional period soon, I need to get ready . I can’t personally accompany you over . Later on, I’ll get Xiao Tao to go to the set with you . “

“Okay, no problem . ” After Ning Xi finished talking to Ling Zhizhi, she hung up .

Even though she was informed of such a surprisingly good news, today’s defeat at the auditions still made Ning Xi feel somewhat regretful .

Late at night, at Peachwood .

At the door, the security system automatically recognized the face and fingerprint password of the person who had arrived with a beep .

Lu Tingxiao had just entered the living room when he saw that the lights in the living room were switched on . The girl wore pajamas and reclined on the sofa, sleeping soundly . Her hand grasped onto a script filled with annotations .

Lu Tingxiao frowned as he walked lightly over and slowly pulled the script out of her hands .

He was about to put the script on the table when he clearly saw the contents of the script and was astonished for a moment .

Scene 37: Loss Of A Son On A Rainy Night .

This chapter had clearly been read through many times . The sides of the script had even started to show rough edges and were dog-eared .

“Mmm . . . Lu Tingxiao . . . ?”

“Hmm?”

“Why are you here so late?”

Lu Tingxiao did not answer . He bent down and picked the girl up from the sofa . He walked towards the bedroom . “Why don’t you go sleep in your room?”

Obviously, it was because he was worried about her .

Lu Jingli had already told him about the situation at her audition that day . It did not seem to have gone too well .

“I accidentally fell asleep . . . ” Ning Xi rubbed her eyes in a daze .

Lu Tingxiao put the girl onto the bed . The girl had very knowingly rolled over to sleep on the other side, leaving space on half of the bed .

Lu Tingxiao caressed the girl’s hair and lay down beside her . “Today’s audition didn’t go too well?”

Ning Xi sighed, “Actually, it was okay . There were just too many great candidates . . . but it’s okay . Before I went, I knew that the competition this time would definitely be tight . If I don’t make it this time, I’ll just work harder next time!”

The girl’s tone sounded very relaxed as if she did not mind . Had she not held onto the script in her sleep and continued to read that scene after she came home, he might have really believed it . . .

Lu Tingxiao looked at the girl hesitatingly but he still said at last, “Mmm, next time, you’ll still have opportunities . “

Actually, right from the start when he knew that she had chosen this film, he was already worried . Now, it looked like his worries had come true .

The girl he loved the most . . . All of her pain . . . Had unexpectedly been brought upon by him . . .
