Chapter 45: Chapter 22: Wonderful Performance

Translator: 549690339

Ye Xiao looked down on Ye Bingtong with disdain, “With your level of talent, even if you had the entire script, you couldn’t bring much to the performance.”

It wasn’t just idle talk from Ye Xiao.

In the book, although Ye Bingtong was successfully selected.

Regrettably, her selection was not due to her acting skills.

On the contrary, Li Mingyu wasn’t satisfied with her acting.

Ye Bingtong “just happened” to show her gentleness and kindness by saving Li Mingyu’s grandson who had fallen into the water, the grandchild Li Mingyu cherished the most. That’s what lead to breaking the principles and giving the role to Ye Bingtong.

Afterward, during the movie filming, Li Mingyu tried everything to teach her, but the eventual outcome still left her unsatisfied. Yet with no better options, the film had to be hastily released.

Upon its release, Ye Bingtong’s character received mixed reviews, but with her reputation as a talented musician, and with the protection of the Ye Family and her fans, she smoothly passed through the ordeal, and even used this opportunity to enter the entertainment circle.

As for director Li Mingyu, she didn’t say a word after the film’s release, but from then on, she no longer made films.

It could only be said that what Ye Bingtong wanted was always to be the center of attention, shining brightly like the stars. As for honing her acting skills, she didn’t put in much effort, and even in the end, her reputation was only that of a top stream actress. Her greatest achievement, aside from her popularity, was simply her husband who successfully transitioned from a rookie to a CEO.

In terms of competing in acting, Ye Xiao was never afraid of anyone, let alone Ye Bingtong.

Ye Xiao spoke with a mocking tone. Ye Bingtong held her breath, and it took her a while to say, “I’ll work hard.”

Ye Xiao snorted coldly, “Then let me show you the gap between mortals and geniuses. Since you’re so eager to be my foil, I naturally won’t refuse. Big brother, if you have any insider information, just let it all out. Even if I lose, I’ll make sure she loses clearly.”

Ye Xiao had an arrogant expression, completely fitting the part of the villain.

Ye Bolin looked at his little sister with adoration, “Alright, let’s go with what Xiaoxiao says.”

Ye Bolin thought for a moment and then said, “Director Li has been very strict with the confidentiality of the movie. The only information that has leaked is that the female lead may be a bit crazy; she’s a somewhat neurotic genius composer. As for the rest, I couldn’t find out anything else. A lot of it will probably depend on spontaneous performance.”

After hearing this, Ye Bingtong felt a tinge of disappointment—the information was still too scarce.

However, Ye Xiao appeared entirely calm, “No problem, improvisation is what I’m best at.”

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xiao with some frustration.

She really wasn’t sure whether Ye Xiao was just pretending to be confident or if she truly had this confidence!

“What are you looking at me for?” Ye Xiao glared back at Ye Bingtong, “I’ve already shared the information with you. Why are you still clinging to me? Do you want me to teach you how to act?”

Ye Bingtong bit her lower lip and glanced at the Ye Family members.

The Ye Family members calmly averted their gazes.

Only now did they realize that Xiaoxiao had suffered so much before. It was normal for Xiaoxiao and Bingtong to be at odds now.

People’s hearts always lean in a direction.

Obviously, their hearts were gradually leaning towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Bingtong felt another wave of frustration in her heart. She murmured something quietly and left.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s just a movie. If you can act, do it; if not, your brother will tailor-make a better one for you,” Ye Mingcheng said.

Ye Bolin nodded, “That’s right. There are plenty of good scripts.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t fail,” Ye Xiao simply stated.

With that confidence from her, the Ye Family members didn’t have much else to say and left one after another.

The room returned to silence.

Ye Xiao’s eyes shone brightly.

For her, ever since coming to this world, this was the first time she had encountered something that truly piqued her interest.

The book didn’t detail this movie. It only mentioned that Ye Bingtong relied on it to successfully break into the entertainment industry.

Ye Xiao didn’t know the specifics of the movie. Still, she thought that if Li Mingyu had poured so much heart into it and later was so dissatisfied with the result that she even quit filmmaking, the work must be quite brilliant.

By the time the real competition arrived, Ye Xiao would likely have accumulated quite a few chances to alter the script.

But.

Ye Xiao didn’t want to use her plot-changing trump card on a fair competition.

Who wins and who loses—as long as it’s a real contest of acting skill, then it’s each to their own ability.

If Ye Bingtong tried any underhand tactics like she did in the book, Ye Xiao would surely make her understand that what isn’t yours shouldn’t be forcefully pursued.

Deep into the night.

This one evening.

Qin Mobei, under the enthusiastic invitation of Chen Yueyue’s parents, stayed directly at the Chen Family’s home, and in the same room as Chen Yueyue no less.
