Chapter 212: A Pitiful Person
Translator: Zayn_
After the interview, Wu Juan wasn’t in a hurry to let Song Qingyou participate in the rehearsal. Instead, she stuffed the script into her hands and told her to memorize as much as she could after she went back.
As the third female lead, her lines were essential.
But the most important thing was still the dance in between. Song Qingyou would often come to the theater to practice.
When the two parties signed the contract, they had discussed that for the next month, unless there were special circumstances, Song Qingyou would spend one or two hours in the theater’s rehearsal room every night.
“The dance rehearsal teacher didn’t come today. You can go back and rest for the time being… I still have to watch them rehearse, so 1 won’t send you off.”
Wu Juan stood up and left.
“Do you need me to send you back first?” He Yuan asked.
Song Qingyou waved her phone. “Sister Lan will be here soon.”
He Yuan had already mentioned to her that as the male lead, he might participate in the rehearsal today.
At that time, he was worried that Song Qingyou wouldn’t pass the interview, so he specially reminded her.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Chen Lan’s message box popped up. On it were five clear words, “I am at the door.”
Song Qingyou picked up her bag, hugged the cat, and said goodbye to He Yuan.
She didn’t expect to see Zhao Yingnan as soon as she opened the door.
The other party was obviously waiting at the door. When Song Qingyou came out, she even glanced inside.
Perhaps after confirming that there was no one else, Zhao Yingnan said, “Qingyou, you came out alone? Weren’t you with Teacher He?”
He Yuan debuted earlier than Zhao Yingnan and was considered a senior. He could still afford to be called a teacher.
“He still has to rehearse. I’m going back first.”
After Song Qingyou answered, she wanted to ask Zhao Yingnan if she wanted to go with her.
Before she could say anything, she saw that the person opposite her looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Qingyou: ?
Zhao Yingnan pursed her lips and lowered her head to comfort her. “Qingyou, don’t be sad. It’s just a drama audition. It should be your first time here. I also failed my first interview.”
“I heard from them that Teacher Wu Juan is very strict and has very high requirements. It’s normal for most people to fail the interview…”
Song Qingyou heard this and finally understood that Zhao Yingnan had misunderstood.
She smiled. “It’s not that 1 failed the interview. It’s because the dance teacher didn’t come. So I don’t have to rehearse today.”
“Then you… Did you pass the interview?” Zhao Yingnan showed a surprised expression. “Teacher Wu Juan personally interviewed you?”
“Yeah.” Song Qingyou nodded.
“This is my first time playing a drama, so I still have some shortcomings. Fortunately, this role requires some dance skills and I’ve reached Teacher Wu’s standards.”
“That’s great…”
Zhao Yingnan smiled, as if she was happy for Song Qingyou.
“I was thinking that if you didn’t pass the interview, 1 would recommend you to the play I rehearsed. Now it seems that there’s no need.”
“Sis Lan’s car is parked outside. Do you want to come with me?” Song Qingyou asked.
“No need.” Zhao Yingnan shook her head. “1 actually snuck out.”
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Song Qingyou thought of Zhao Yingnan’s family situation, so she comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Your brother will definitely recover soon.”
Zhao Yingnan nodded and walked Song Qingyou to the door.
Seeing the other party get into the car, Zhao Yingnan suddenly remembered that Song Qingyou’s original situation was similar to hers.
Since it was the same, then why was Song Qingyou able to become famous and start a company?
As expected, she was lucky enough… right?
Chen Lan was informed to pick her up and thought that Song Qingyou had failed the audition.
Therefore, she held her tongue throughout the journey and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.
After a while, Song Qingyou said helplessly, “Sister Lan, have you transferred the money I asked you to transfer to Zhao Yingnan?”
“I did.”
Chen Lan nodded. “I’ve kept the transfer records. I haven’t asked you, why did you suddenly transfer so much money to her?”
“I lent it to her.” Song Qingyou replied.
“Lent? Is she short of money?” Chen Lan’s tone was filled with disbelief.
“Can’t she be?” Song Qingyou looked up.
“It’s not that she can’t, but I didn’t expect her to be short of money.” Chen Lan shook her head. “You probably don’t know, right? Many people in the industry say that she’s a model worker and will take most of the jobs.”
Song Qingyou really didn’t pay much attention to other artists.
After all, she had to write a book, be a screenwriter, and do scientific research. Where did she have the time to be nosy?
“Sister Lan, tell me more.”
“You really don’t know?”
Chen Lan clicked her tongue. “You’re the boss of Shengshi Entertainment, after all. You should pay more attention to these things.”
“Zhao Yingnan actually didn’t debut much earlier than you. She was able to climb up to the B-list so quickly and enter the Top loo celebrity rankings. Firstly, she was lucky to have a golden thigh. Secondly, she was hardworking enough.”
“Do you know what her ranking was when the Celebrity Rankings Index was released in June?” Chen Lan paused. Seeing that Song Qingyou really didn’t know, she said, “It’s 46! Her improvement is even greater than yours.”
Once she entered the top 30, she would be able to steadily advance to the first tier.
Song Qingyou had some interest in this, so she took out her phone to check Zhao Yingnan’s recent movements.
After Zhao Yingnan finished recording the first episode of All-Class Challenge, she gained a lot of fans. Later on, she participated in the filming of a movie that had a good box office run. During this period, she was also a guest on two other variety shows and participated in many commercial activities…
Her stylist was also very capable. In three months, no less than three sets of styles were successfully released.
Song Qingyou pondered over Zhao Yingnan’s schedule and agreed, “She’s indeed a model worker.”
“A model worker is a model worker, but I think it’s better to be like you.”
“What do you mean?” Song Qingyou thought that Chen Lan mentioned Zhao Yingnan’s title as a model worker because she felt that Zhao Yingnan didn’t take on too many jobs.
“She’s so active, and she doesn’t reject anyone. She’ll definitely suffer a backlash.”
The “backlash” that Chen Lan mentioned was not a metaphysical statement, but Zhao Yingnan was almost always open to film and television programs and endorsements. If there was a problem with one of the programs and endorsements, she would definitely be implicated.
On the other hand, Song Qingyou only had one endorsement deal for a logistics company that hadn’t officially started yet. She only participated in two variety shows that Wei Zhengrong had recorded, and all her films were produced by her own company.
In other words, Song Qingyou knew the jobs she accepted like the back of her hand, so the probability of a problem occurring was very small.
“Let’s not talk about this. Whatever Zhao Yingnan wants to do, it’s not up to us outsiders to decide. Qingyou, don’t you think so?”
Taking advantage of the red light, Chen Lan turned around and gave Song Qingyou a look.
“Sister Lan, do you think 1 like to be a busybody?” Song Qingyou facepalmed.
“I’m just reminding you.” Chen Lan said, “No matter how good your relationship with Zhao Yingnan is, don’t talk too much when it comes to personal planning. Don’t let others hold a grudge.”
“I know.”
Song Qingyou felt that she wasn’t a saint or a mother.
After Chen Lan finished talking, she asked about Zhao Yingnan borrowing money.
Song Qingyou explained in a few sentences.
“No wonder she works so hard.” Chen Lan couldn’t help but sigh. “She’s also a pitiful person..”
