Chapter 113: Breaking Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Zhi saw through Jiang Xue’s thoughts at a glance, and her expression gradually turned solemn. If Jiang Xue herself did not believe in her own ability, how could she show her own brilliance in front of the camera?

Plagued by inferiority complex and uneasiness, it was impossible for her to put all her attention into the character.

“Jiang Xue, this is your first show as you re-enter the public eye. It’s your best chance to make a comeback in this industry.”

Jiang Zhi glanced at Wu Dai and signaled for him to leave. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered into Jiang Xue’s ear.

“You were once willing to get completely lost in character to the point where you would live like them throughout the entire course of the filming. Now, just a little rumor would make you back down?”

Jiang Xue’s memory was suddenly pulled back to that cruel night… the male boss’s impudent actions, his rampant teasing, his torn clothes, and that disgusting touch that made her shiver from the bottom of her heart.

No, she did not want to live that kind of life anymore!

Jiang Zhi saw that her eyes were bloodshot, and blood was already seeping out of lips that she had bitten fiercely. She knew that she had steeled her heart, and she immediately took this opportunity to strike another heavy hammer!

Jiang Zhi held Jiang Xue’s hand tightly. Her eyes were serious and her tone was firm.

“Don’t you want to see the expressions of those people who used to look down on you after you went downhill?

“Don’t you want to see the expressions of those people who had to please you even though they were unhappy when you return to your peak?

“You have to let them know that Jiang Xue would always be a mountain that they can not surpass!”

Jiang Xue was influenced by Jiang Zhi’s soul-stirring aura. She also yearned for the scenes that she had described. A ruthless feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart!

She had once given up on herself, so what was there to be afraid of?!

When Jiang Zhi saw this, a trace of relief appeared in her eyes. She turned around and walked to the seat that she had prepared, letting Jiang Xue experience the pleasure of awakening alone!

This was something that she had only understood after exhausting herself in the first lease of her career.

Soon, Director Zheng and the screenwriter arrived at the audition room. They exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Zhi before announcing the start of the audition.

The actors were called out one by one and acted out the scenes that they had prepared. Although some of them performed well, Director Zheng and Jiang Zhi felt that they did not meet their expectations, the scriptwriter did not see any actors that could make his eyes light up. The atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy.

“Next, Yin Yue.”

Yin Yue had just said some tough words to Jiang Zhi. It was not that she was unprepared. For this interview, she had used her connections to obtain the first draft of the script in advance. She had also found an acting teacher to carefully study the details and emotions needed for the mission.

Therefore, when Yin Yue finished her attempt, even Jiang Zhi nodded her head when she saw her acting skills. She did not expect her to put in this much effort for this role.

Jiang Zhi could not help but sigh. If Yin Yue could put in so much effort for every role, her current status would be much higher than it was now.

Unfortunately…

This time, she met Jiang Xue who was fighting with her life on the line. It was the reborn and ascended Jiang Xue!

She was going to lose for sure!

Jiang Xue saw Jiang Zhi’s encouraging gaze and nodded her head vigorously.

As soon as she stood up, she had already entered the role.

Director Zheng looked at Jiang Xue’s coarse clothes and her unadorned face. His eyes were filled with surprise. It was rare for an actress to appear without makeup.

Jiang Xue’s face was pale, and her eyes were slightly sunken. There was no life in her eyes, and the fine wrinkles and sallow skin made her look even more haggard.

With the assistant director’s “action,” the audition officially began!

The hall was silent.

Jiang Xue stood where she was with her head lowered, her body slightly trembling.

When she looked up, everyone saw her bloodshot eyes. Despair, pain… It was a kind of struggle that desired to destroy the world but had no choice but to accept fate. It was an indescribable pain that made people feel the same way!

Jiang Xue crossed her arms in front of her chest. Although there was nothing there, everyone could clearly see a dead child lying in her arms.

She did not speak, but the sorrowful aura around her seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Director Zheng and the scriptwriter immediately sat up straight and looked at Jiang Xue with intense brilliance in their eyes!

At that moment, she was not that radiant female star, nor was she an unparalleled beauty. She was just a mother who had lost her child.

It was not until a long time later until they saw Jiang Xue losing her temper and hugged her child tightly in her arms. She let out a sorrowful cry that made people weep!

This kind of deep and profound emotion was something they had never seen before in other people!

Jiang Xue’s outburst of emotion belonged to the character herself. Her final roar was clearly transmitted to everyone’s nerves. When she ended the audition, there were still people who were immersed in her performance and could not come back to their senses for a long time…

All the actors who had come to audition could not believe what they had just seen.

Jiang Xue’s show of power had been several times more potent than she was at her absolute peak!

Only Jiang Zhi’s eyes revealed a trace of a smile because she knew that the role of this mother belonged to Jiang Xue.

This time, it had been set in stone!
