Wen Wan stood up and walked over to sit beside her, took a tissue and gently wiped her tears, then continued to comfort her; "Compared to Sister Yu and brother-in-law, or my Xiao Zhou and your teacher Yin, you may not be good enough at all, and your income is also far behind theirs."
"But if you compare yourself to those obscure artists whose names you can't even name, you're already much better off. At least a lot of people know you, right? It's even worse than ordinary people, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Make peace with yourself."
"I don't know if you can ever reach your previous heights, but I know that as long as you don't give up, even if you won't be a huge star again, you will still have a place in your field."
Tao Zhizhi hugged her and burst into tears, tears and snot constantly rubbing against her body. She choked and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me, I just really want to cry. I always feel that if I don't work hard to move forward, I will be left far behind by you. I don't want to see such a day."
"Dear, no one can become fat in one go, and no one can become thin by lifting weights once. Everything is a process. Who doesn't have a low period?"
"Besides, are you so sure you'll fail? Don't worry, I calculated that hundreds of billions will definitely fail before you!!"
Tao Zhizhi cried and said, "You're lying! You didn't even pinch your fingers!"
Wen Wan was in a complicated mood. After a moment of silence, she said, "...perhaps there is a possibility that I can do mental arithmetic without necessarily counting on my fingers."
Then he continued seriously: "I've already calculated it, hundreds of billions will definitely be gone before us!!!"
Tao Zhizhi suppressed her crying and actually imitated Qianqiuyi's appearance, shouting loudly: "Wen Wan, you are sick! Thank you! I really know how to thank you!!"
You know what, he really imitated it, which scared Wen Wan so much that she shuddered. After she came to her senses, she kept slapping her thigh and laughing crazily, "Hahahaha! You're killing me. I think your acting is very good. Playing a vicious female supporting role is definitely no problem!"
Tao Zhizhi finally burst into laughter. Wen Wan carefully wiped the tears from her face with a tissue and said softly, "Okay, stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem. You can't really go on strike, can you? Since you can't, let's just take it seriously, okay?"
Tao Zhizhi looked at her with tears in her eyes, didn't say anything, just nodded obediently.
Wen Wan smiled and pulled her chubby cheek, encouraging her: "Don't worry too much about whether this drama is a bad movie, and don't worry too much about whether this character's personality is stupid. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. If you have decided to do it, then you must do it well."
"You have to have confidence in yourself. Don't think about how much you hate the character. What you have to think about is how to portray this stupid character well, so that everyone hates the character but at the same time appreciates your acting skills."
"I don't care what other actors think, whether they want to just mess around and finish filming or something else, it has nothing to do with you. We are different from them. We don't treat our fans like leeks, nor are we here to make a quick buck. We just want to be good actors! We are worthy of ourselves and our fans, that's enough!"
"If you act well and let everyone see your efforts, your reputation will naturally get better and better. In the future, whether you're acting in Liang Ge's dramas or those directed by other directors, at least you won't be criticized or ridiculed. As long as you want to do well, you can definitely do it. A stupid and vicious female supporting role can still be outstanding!"
Tao Zhizhi nodded seriously and promised with a choked voice, "Okay, I will definitely work hard."
"That's right!" Wen Wan pinched her cheek hard. Just as she was about to say a few more words to her, she suddenly smelled a strange smell. She moved her nose and sniffed hard, muttering to herself, "What's that smell?"
Tao Zhizhi also sniffed it in confusion. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then alarm bells rang in their heads at the same time. They opened their eyes wide in fear and turned their heads to the side in unison.
As expected, the hot pot that had been simmering on high fire beside them had burned dry unnoticed while the two were talking. Wen Wan quickly reached out to turn off the fire, then stood up, found a rag, and carried the pot to the kitchen, shouting outside, "Tao Zhizhi! You are truly my retribution!"
"I've boiled all my hot pot dry just to enlighten you! If you can't even play a vicious female supporting role well, I'll remove you from the FWS graduates and then kill you!!!"
Tao Zhizhi took the initiative to come over and help her wash the pot, pretending to be pitiful and said, "Your Majesty! I know I was wrong. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and perform this vicious female supporting role well!"
Wen Wan curled her lips and said nothing. After silently rolling her eyes at her, she took out another packet of hot pot base from the cupboard next to her. Fortunately, she had bought a lot before, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to eat this hot pot today!
Seeing that she ignored her, Tao Zhizhi's acting urges came back, "Your Majesty, you have favored Queen Zhou for many years, and I have never had the slightest complaint. You can't dislike me just because of this, right?"
Wen Wan stared at her intently, reached out and touched her chin, and said thoughtfully, "Well...why not?"
"Your Majesty! I have served you for many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard!" Tao Zhizhi held her heart with both hands, her tone extremely sad.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain about her, "You can't get any acting roles, you should go back and practice more. Your tone is extremely sad, but your face is full of happiness. Is this reasonable?"
"Well...how is that irrational?"
Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh, "Princess Zhi, you've really become more and more dramatic lately. I think I really need to ask Brother Liang if he's interested in filming a harem drama, the kind that can directly put in place actors and investment!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift! I have no way to repay your grace, so let me stay tonight and serve Your Majesty well!" Tao Zhizhi hugged her tightly. Although her face was shy, her eyes were full of anticipation.
"If you want to stay today, just stay. Why do you have so many excuses?" Wen Wan couldn't help but look up and sigh. She just wanted to have a good hot pot. Why was it so difficult?
She forcefully pulled Tao Zhizhi's hands apart, then poured hot water back into the pot, added new hot pot base, and put it back on the induction cooker to cook. This time, nothing went wrong.
After happily finishing their hot pot, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa and started chatting about all sorts of things. It was late at night when Wen Wan stood up from the sofa and prepared to make the bed.
At this moment, Tao Zhizhi suddenly received a call, and her expression instantly became subtle.
