Chapter 85: The Mystery Of The Painting (2)
Chen Shu was stunned. “...”
After a moment’s silence, he looked at Ye Sui’s expectant, bright eyes and said sincerely, “You have the most foresight.”
*****
After “Moon Rescue” was finished, Ye Sui received the first special guest notices from several variety shows and joined the crew of “Ning Ling” without interruption.
Previously, Ye Sui had helped Director Xi Zhao communicate with Ning Ling’s ghost. Accordingly, she became the first person to win the heroine of Xi Zhao’s movie as a newcomer.
In the first scene, Ye Sui played against Wu Yu. When Ning Ling’s character, played by Ye Sui, debuted, she was bullied by big-name stars because of her appearance.
Wu Yu played the popular star.

Xi Zhao shouted, “Start.”
Ye Sui sat in front of the makeup mirror, ready to take off her earrings. She covered her ears with her hands and touched the earrings. Although the piece of jewelry was flashy, hands were more dazzling.
At this time, Wu Yu was standing behind Ye Sui. She watched Ye Sui’s face in the mirror, slowly bent down, and stopped beside her ear.
“How long do you think you will be popular in the entertainment circle? One year? Five years? As a newcomer, standing out is just a dream.”
This was the line in the script, but it also expressed Wu Yu’s inner heart. Ye Sui was beautiful and resourceful. Any celebrity would consider her as a strong rival.
She felt uncomfortable and threatened.
Wu Yu’s acting was good, plus she deliberately wanted to suppress Ye Sui from the beginning. When she opened her mouth, her character was exposed in all its entirety.
If Ye Sui’s psychological capacity was not up to mark, she would likely be stunned and forget to respond.
Then, Wu Yu spoke in an ironic tone, “No matter how beautiful your face is, you need the skill to back it up. If you want to become popular, you can only slowly endure for a lifetime.”
When Wu Yu said the second line, Ye Sui was sitting, while she was standing. Although she bent down, she was still looking down at Ye Sui from a high angle.

This perspective made Ye Sui look vulnerable. Wu Yu’s chin lifted slightly, bringing out the hidden contempt in her heart.
Ye Sui knew Wu Yu’s abilities; therefore, she had rehearsed several times in her heart when reading the script. She had already prepared for her psychologically.
She stared right into Wu Yu’s eyes, not shying away. She placed her hand on her earrings and continued to slowly remove them. Then, she put the earrings gently on the table.
All the while, her eyes remained at Wu Yu. She spat out slowly, “Senior, do you really want to know the answer?”
Wu Yu didn’t speak.
Ye Sui’s voice dropped, nevertheless. “You said it just now: no matter how beautiful your face is, you need the skill to back it up. I’ll return it to you.”
Ye Sui did not directly point out the meaning behind this remark. The implication was, Ye Sui had just made her debut, while Wu Yu had been here for nearly six years.
Six years was not long, but for a female star, it was enough to draw a clear line. At this point alone, Wu Yu couldn’t compare with her.
When it came to abilities, Ye Sui was recognized by the director when she first started her career. When Wu Yu was her age, she was just an unknown performer.
Who would be more powerful in the future was naturally Ye Sui.
Ye Sui hooked her lips. “Senior, this is my answer. Are you satisfied?”
Coincidentally, Ye Sui and Wu Yu’s experience was unexpectedly similar to the background of the characters in the play. The words were casually spoken from Ye Sui’s mouth, but they hit Wu Yu hard in the face.
Ye Sui’s face was calm throughout, and her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
When Ye Sui spoke her lines, her eyes kept staring at Wu Yu in the mirror. Wu Yu pressurized people using her seniority, but in front of Ye Sui, she was beaten back without any mercy.
Wu Yu was impatient. She wanted to let Ye Sui understand her status through this play.
Ye Sui had only just begun to make an appearance in the entertainment industry, so she deliberately made Ye Sui feel terrified. In this way, Ye Sui would always remember her pressure when doing a play with her.
Unexpectedly, with a few remarks from Ye Sui, she nearly lost her pace and forgot her lines.
Wu Yu dared not think about it again. She immediately adjusted her emotions and finished the remaining lines.
Xi Zhao: “Cut!”
Wu Yu stopped acting at a stroke, yet Ye Sui was still in her character. It took her two seconds to recover.
Director Xi’s tone was fierce and sarcastic. “Wu Yu, did you really give your best? I can’t even make out the popular star in the play.”
