Guan Jibai's heart slowly sank to the bottom, and his hands unconsciously clenched on his knees, but he still maintained a gentle and appropriate smile on his face, "Mr. Li, there's no need to embarrass me. Did I fail the interview?"
Li Yuqi is an old artist she respects. Since he is embarrassed and can't say it out loud, she should take the initiative!
"You know?" Old Li blurted out in surprise.
Guan Jibai suppressed his disappointment, spread his hands with a relaxed expression, and said jokingly, "Don't you know now?"
"I'm sorry!" The little girl's kindness and generosity made Old Li feel even more ashamed.
"No, no, no, you don't have to apologize to me." She was really not used to having such a big shot who would win numerous awards in the future apologize to her in a humble manner.
"It's our fault that we couldn't handle things properly, it's..." They were not honest in their actions.
"Can you tell me the reason?" It was too sudden.
Old Li hesitated, looking at the girl in front of him, and he couldn't bear to tell her the truth. This was too cruel for her. It wasn't her fault at all, and it wasn't something she should bear at her age.
"Is it inconvenient to say?" Guan Jibai asked cautiously.
"Not really." Old Li couldn't bear it. What a good kid! But he was a down-to-earth man, and he meant what he meant. "Yes... it's like this. After you came for the interview, we were going to choose between the Jade Rabbit Fairy and the Fox Fairy. Then someone recommended someone to Dafeng to play the Jade Rabbit Fairy. It didn't affect you, but..."
"But what?"
"But your information wasn't up to par, so our application was rejected. Dafeng was furious and even argued with the higher-ups. But somehow the matter got to the Film Art Association, and it escalated into a bigger issue. I'm really sorry."
Originally, Old Li wanted to say that Jiang Dafeng had been subjected to unpleasant gossip because of his excessive protection. But then he thought about how he was still a child and how old they were, so he should have been more protective.
"Because I'm an illegitimate child, people like me are not worthy of being involved in art, not worthy of being an actor, and certainly not worthy of being on television. Because I will have a negative impact on the people and affect the negative atmosphere of society?"
Guan Jibai spoke every word, and each one seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth.
Her intertwined hands were so tight that bruises appeared on her skin. She once again felt the pain, despair, and suffocation in the original owner's memory.
No matter how hard she tried or how talented she was, she could never break free from the shackles on her body.
She had no chance at all. She was surrounded by strange looks and unwarranted slander. There was no way to please her or compromise.
The original owner in the previous life had tried hard and struggled, but ultimately fell into the hands of that disgusting man Mei Qiu Sheng.
"No..." Old Li waved his hands hurriedly. Seeing Guan Jibai's fragile and desperate eyes, his heart almost gave in. He always felt that he had said something too much. But after denying it, he sighed dejectedly.
"I know, no one would say that on the surface. They would just say I'm not suitable and my acting is bad." Guan Jibai laughed at himself, "But even a fool would know that's what those people think in their hearts."
"These are prejudices, but I believe there will be more in the future. Dafeng and I originally thought that there was no big problem, but I don't know what happened, and things got out of hand." The inside story was that he and Jiang Dafeng both suspected that they had been reported by someone.
In addition, "Journey to the West" is such a high-profile project, with countless people watching it, so the review is naturally very strict.
