Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Entertainment Circle’s Best Actress VS Lucky Newcomer (Part 20)

The next day, the news that Best Actress Ruan Keyi and supermodel Ludwig were suspected of dating hit all the major headlines.

However, neither party intended to respond to the question, and the media hadn’t blocked anyone either.

“Host, when do you plan to accept Ludwig’s pursuit?” the system asked curiously.

Gu Shengyin was painting her nails and glanced at the system upon hearing this, “This, depends on my mood,” she said.

The system didn’t quite understand why the host, who clearly loved her partner, wasn’t together with him this time even though she knew his identity.

Gu Shengyin didn’t want to explain to her system what “playing hard to get” meant.

“You, as the treasured artifact of our Divine Clan, should know the fate of our Divine Clan is tied to the Astrolabe Compass—if it falls into the hands of others, do you know how severe the consequences could be?” Queen Shen Yin’s face was frosty as she slammed a hand down on the table and stood up, looking sternly at the Astrolabe Spirit standing before her.

This scene was where the Astrolabe Spirit was caught by Queen Shen Yin trying to sneak out of the Divine Clan Forbidden Area to play, thus infuriating her.

Ming Shujia knew she should argue back, but with Gu Shengyin’s full aura in her angry state, she simply couldn’t speak.

“Cut!”

Director Li wasn’t pleased with Ming Shujia. Just now, Gu Shengyin’s display, whether it was the aura, expression, or body language, was spot on; even he was about to applaud, not expecting Ming Shujia to falter completely.

It would frustrate anyone.

“Let’s do it again!”

“You, as the treasured artifact of our Divine Clan, should know the fate of our Divine Clan is tied to the Astrolabe Compass—if it falls into the hands of others, do you know how severe the consequences could be?”

“I… I…” Ming Shujia was almost in tears from the anxiety, but she really couldn’t say it.

This time, before Director Li could get angry, she took the initiative to apologize.

“Please, Director Li, give me one more chance,” she pleaded humbly, knowing that if she dissatisfied the director with her performance, given his temper, it was highly likely he would replace her.

Director Li gave her another chance, but Ming Shujia failed to seize it.

“Cut! Let’s put this scene on hold for now. Keyi, go take a rest. Zhang Qiao, Xu Ruyun, both of you get ready for the next scene,” instructed Director Li, directly signaling the two actors standing aside.

Turning around to Ming Shujia, he said, “Study the script thoroughly these next two days. I’ll give you another try in two days, and if you still can’t do it by then, don’t bother coming back.”

Ming Shujia bit her lip and nodded.

She approached Gu Shengyin who was standing to the side, “Sister Keyi, could you please help me go over the lines in the next two days?”

The moment she spoke, several actors preparing nearby looked over incredulously.

Who did Ming Shujia think she was? Daring to ask a celebrated Best Actress to rehearse with her?

Gu Shengyin was also surprised for a moment. It seemed Ming Shujia really had no other options?

However, helping an eighteen-tier minor actress rehearse? Ruan Keyi was not so undervalued, nor was she prepared to inflate Ming Shujia’s worth like that.

“I’m truly sorry. I have scenes to shoot these days, and I have to attend an engagement tomorrow afternoon, so I’m afraid I won’t have the time,” Gu Shengyin replied with a polite smile, declining quite decisively.

After Gu Shengyin left, someone by the side scoffed, “Some people really think too highly of themselves just because they’ve found a rich patron, huh? Expecting a Best Actress to rehearse with you? Do you know how much Sister Keyi is worth?”

That Ming Shujia had gotten into the crew through the back door wasn’t a secret in the production. Although she had been low-key and hardworking recently, there were actors who still couldn’t stand her.

Ming Shujia hung her head low, her fingernails digging hard into the palm of her hand, letting the piercing pain stimulate her emotions.

These people who look down on me, one day, I’ll make you all regret it!
