Chapter 28 A Young Girl's Thoughts
The alarm clock is blaring again. I finally found the entrance to my sweet dream, but I have to return to reality.
The first thing Ning Wantang did after waking up was to check her phone for messages.
Supermarket discount advertisements, a good friend's ramblings, and an anonymous boy's confession.
My gaze swept across all the information and finally landed on the user whose profile picture was an anime character.
That cartoon character was her deskmate.
Perhaps I should keep more of his signatures now, so that even if we become strangers, it will still be a memento.
As soon as this whimsical idea came to mind, Ning Wantang couldn't help but laugh at herself.
If any guy saw her tired smile at this moment, he would definitely lose control of his heartbeat.
With what could be described as antagonistic feelings, Ning Wantang opened the production company's chat interface.
As always, there was nothing.
There was no notification, no order; it was as if they had been forgotten.
This relieved Ning Wantang.
But she also felt that she was being incredibly irresponsible.
Self-loathing crept into my heart.
-----------------
Ning Wantang is actually over eighteen years old, and she has already been admitted to a prestigious university specializing in drama.
She is undoubtedly outstanding among her peers.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stand out among so many amateur participants from drama schools and win the leading role.
But like her peers, her excellence did not help her feel less lost.
On the contrary, she may be more confused than others.
Her family could be described as happy; her father ran a business, and her mother was a music teacher.
Although they weren't from a wealthy family, her material and spiritual life was abundant.
She has never lacked anything since she was a child.
That's why she doesn't seem to have any particularly strong desires.
As for exam results, she never deliberately competed, but she still always ranked at the top.
She doesn't like to sweat in sports, so her grades are only average.
Even his enrollment in a drama college was solely due to the fact that he had a relative who taught there.
She happened to have no particular thoughts about it, so she went without really thinking about it.
Not long after enrolling, she encountered the audition for the female lead in "Chu Kong Show".
At that time, no one knew that this was the audition for "Chu Kong Show". They only knew that it was a very important program that needed the participation of an amateur actor.
Big production, grand scale, generous compensation, long-term contract.
These conditions are incredibly tempting for those aspiring phoenixes in the school who dream of soaring to great heights.
But initially she had absolutely no interest in this audition; she didn't care much about the treatment or the fame.
I simply signed up with my roommate because she wanted to participate but didn't have the courage.
During the selection process, Ning Wantang demonstrated another characteristic of hers—seriousness.
Perhaps it is precisely because she doesn't care about anything in particular that she can be able to seriously devote herself to everything.
There were no thrilling trials and tribulations, just steady progress, step by step, until the number of competitors around you decreased.
The last question was, "Imagine what a girl who has fallen in love would do when she sees her crush."
This completely stumped Ning Wantang.
She had never experienced falling in love before.
Although there are many outstanding people around her, she has never cared about them in particular.
On the contrary, those boys who were interested became even more infatuated with Ning Wantang when they saw her nonchalant attitude.
So, how should we perform it?
Ning Wantang didn't know either.
Forget it, I'll just go with my gut feeling. I don't really care about the final result anyway.
In front of the camera, she straightened her clothes in front of the mirror and then took a deep breath.
Like warriors charging into battle, they march toward their "goal" with unwavering conviction.
"I've been following you for a long time, can we get to know each other?"
A slight blush, a touch of shyness.
More than anything, it was determination and courage.
Regardless, the final result was that she won first place.
After the assessment, she reviewed the performances of the other contestants.
She was curious about how she, someone who had never fallen in love, could stand out from the crowd.
It was then that they realized the other contestants were all focused on how to portray the feeling of "secret crush".
Whether it's secretly watching from a distance or secretly carving the other person's name on the wall with a knife.
In Ning Wantang's view, these people's performances were far more moving and mature than her own.
So she found the director in charge of the auditions.
A renowned female filmmaker.
"Excuse me, is there some mistake? I think they acted better than me."
She asked cautiously.
But the director shook his head.
Ning, do you know, there are two reasons why I chose you.
The first reason is that, among all the actors, your performance is the least like acting; it's more like a natural expression.
The second reason is the interpretation of the last question, which is the consensus of all our judges: what could be more moving than the courageous figure of a girl falling in love?
Ning Wantang seemed to understand, but not quite.
But this result caused her great distress. As someone who just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary college life, she suddenly found herself in the eye of the storm.
He suddenly became a prominent and influential figure.
Countless people try to get close to her every day.
He had countless suitors.
People's attitudes toward her have changed to varying degrees.
Even Ning Wantang's roommate, who invited her to accompany her to the audition, would look at her with jealous eyes from behind.
She always felt that if she hadn't asked Ning Wantang to participate in the audition, she would have been the one to stand out in the end.
She seemed to have forgotten that she was eliminated in the first round of the selection.
This made Ning Wantang extremely uncomfortable.
She began to doubt whether participating in the audition was the right decision.
They even started to back out.
But she decided to ask her parents for their opinion first.
As parents, Ning Wantang's parents were undoubtedly successful.
After all, their precious daughter's first thought when faced with a problem is to ask for their opinion.
They listened carefully to Ning Wantang's thoughts and offered their opinions: Why should my/my daughter give up the opportunity she got through her own hard work?
And so, Ning Wantang, who already lacked her own opinions, eventually participated in this mysterious program at the urging of her parents.
At that time, Ning Wantang had no idea what awaited her ahead.
With the production company's arrangement, she obtained her graduation certificate ahead of schedule and received guidance and instruction from famous actors from all over the world.
Ultimately, despite the seemingly impressive results from the outside world, she felt that she hadn't learned anything.
At the same time, she became even more afraid of this mysterious program.
