Chapter 190
At night, Wang Jiazhi dreamed that he was screaming in fear in a nightmare again, but she couldn't wake him up no matter what she did.
She woke up with a start. It was quiet outside and it was already very late at night.
She began to cry softly.
What will he do if I am not by his side? He will definitely be sad.
Then I quickly thought, he wouldn’t care who I am, there must be someone else around him.
Then I thought, it would be good if there was someone around, so that he could have a better life.
The next day she slept until almost noon. She hadn't finished reading the magazines she had opened on the floor.
To distract herself, she continued flipping through the magazines.
The cover of a book is from an old movie from more than ten years ago, which makes it almost twenty years old.
The male and female protagonists are very pleasing to the eye and their acting is also very good.
Wang Jiazhi remembers that it was a huge sensation at that time, and people still talk about it now.
The female lead was not famous before that, but she became famous overnight because of this, and her acting was indeed good enough, but many things happened afterwards. The things outside the play were as exciting and lively as those in the play.
First, a group of women competed with each other, saying that the grapes were sour because they couldn't eat them, which made her famous for her anger.
Several of them spread rumors, saying how the director had liked her and how he had been trying to get her the role, but they were "serious people" and didn't like her, so she got the role.
Others say it's all because of the director's greatness, that with the director around, anyone could do well in the role. It's not that she's a good actress, it's just that she got lucky. Implicitly, they're saying they'd definitely be better than her, so why is she getting away with it?
She also said that she was a "good wife" and would get married and have children in the future, but she wouldn't act that out even if she had to.
Later, the heroine encountered some troubles, which were also unprovoked. It seemed that she was easy to bully.
Another group of women came out, some of them said that it was her own fault for making her act in such a thing and that it was her own fault for what happened.
Some experienced people act condescendingly, saying, "What's the big deal? Weren't we bullied the same way before?" But that person is the one who's at fault. It's like one person was arrested for murder, while the other was wrongly accused. The murderer tells the wronged person, "Why are you so unwilling? I was imprisoned too, wasn't I?" This is simply a distortion of right and wrong, a distorted interpretation.
Fortunately, everything went well later. The heroine got married, had children and lived a happy life. She is still very famous.
Wang Jiazhi felt that this story, which was somewhat dramatic, had come into reality.
Everyone in the play bullies the heroine, except the hero.
Instead of sympathizing with the female lead's experience, a group of women outside the play slandered her in various ways.
It was originally a female-centric drama, with several key characters receiving major awards, but the most important one, she, was only given a perfunctory consolation prize. The male lead's actor, however, publicly stated that they were all in the show together, and if there were consequences to bear, he would be the one to bear them.
Of course, no one dared to do anything to him, but at least they were fair.
Even now, almost twenty years later, there are still people who flatter her every now and then, saying they were the ones chosen in the first place, but she got the upper hand because she was so open-minded. Otherwise, how could she have achieved fame?
The director said that she was chosen from thousands of candidates, but rumors spread that she was a second best choice.
"How ridiculous." Wang Jiazhi thought to herself as she looked at the cover, where the hero was walking on the street in late autumn with his arm around the heroine's waist.
Wang Jiazhi thought that if a character in a play had emotions, she would definitely be grateful that it was this person who played her, and not one of those vulgar, profit-seeking, and vicious people.
