Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The student union members who knew the entire process looked at each other. Sof them tried to explain, but Xu Meng did not give them a chance.
“Student Wen Nian has always been the person everyone pays the most attention to. Now, she’s acting in Director Sun’s television drama. If not for the fact that she’s too busy, I wouldn’t have the chance to stand here and speak on behalf of the new students.” Xu Meng’s voice was very pleasant, and many students nodded.
Normally, it would indeed be Wen Nian who would be giving a speech. Be it in terms of results or reputation, Wen Nian should be the freshman representative.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, Xu Meng laughed self-deprecatingly. “Actually, I also recommended myself to Director Sun’s production team, but I heard that Wen Nian’s assistant has already been chosen to act. Although my results are good among the new students in the Film Academy, I still didn’t get chosen. I also want to hear Wen Nian’s thoughts.”
Sstudents could already tell that something was wrong. Xu Meng even specially explained that she was acting like this because she was unwilling to accept it. She said it so openly, making everyone look forward to how Wen Nian would react.
The school leaders had already planned to let Xu Meng go down, but Wen Nian had already stood up and walked to the side of the stage. Then, she bowed to the school leaders. “I’m sorry. I’ve caused trouble for the school because I’m acting in Director Sun’s television drama. I’m very sorry.”
Xu Meng did not expect Wen Nian to take all the responsibility. Before she could think of a countermeasure, Wen Nian said, “I wonder if there are any other segments in the school? Do you needto go on stage to respond to what this student just said? If it’s not convenient, we can discuss it in private.”
Wen Nian’s smile was gentle, and her voice was pleasant. Her words were filled with respect. Only then did the expressions of the leaders ease up a little.
A teacher who had interviewed Wen Nian before said, “You’re indeed too popular. It’s normal for everyone to want to know you. If it’s convenient, can you say a few words?”
This teacher had seen Wen Nian’s ability. Since things had already cto this, why not let Wen Nian resolve it?
As expected, the directors and principals beside her nodded. Only then did Wen Nian bow again before going onto the stage.
She was wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans that day. She had only combed her hair into a ponytail and did not put on any makeup. However, when she stood beside Xu Meng, not only did her skin appear fairer, but she also looked beautiful and energetic. She completely outshone the meticulously dressed Xu Meng.
Xu Meng did not expect Wen Nian to dare to cup. She was still standing in front of the microphone.
Wen Nian smiled amicably. “Excuse me, do you want to give way?”
Only then did Xu Meng cback to her senses and take a step back. Without the light, she looked even dimmer.
Wen Nian cleared her throat and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Wen Nian. I’m very sorry for not preparing before coming on stage. I hope everyone can forgive me. I’ll try my best not to take up everyone’s precious meal tand quickly answer that student’s question.”
Many students below the stage laughed. It was really almost 11:00, and everyone was starting to get hungry.
“I used to be conflicted about whether I wanted to be an actor or not. Even when Director Xu Chang cto look for me, I was more against it. I just hoped that I could study hard and learn a degree that was easy to find a job. I wanted to earn more money and not let my family worry. However, when I was really in the entertainment industry, I finally understood what it meant to love a profession.”
“I love acting. I like to experience the emotions of different characters. I like to experience different lives. It’s as if a lifetcan be very long and life is very rich. It was also a coincidence that I was able to enter Director Sun’s production team. Or rather, after I decided to apply for the film academy, the school broughtgood luck and gavethis opportunity.”
Wen Nian’s words caused many people to laugh again. The school leaders liked to hear such words, and the displeasure on their faces had eased a lot.
She continued, “It’s precisely because the school has nurtured outstanding talents from various industries that I had the chance to meet an outstanding director like Director Sun during the art examination and enter the production team. Such luck doesn’t belong toalone. I believe that every person here will find their own supporter here.”
She turned to Xu Meng and said, “That includes this classmate. As far as I know, Director Sun’s role has been decided long ago, so it’s not that you’re not outstanding, but the tis not ripe yet. My assistant has a role because her ton the set is just right. I believe everyone can find a suitable role and shine in the future film industry..”
