After watching the entire plot, Ye Jin couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, when she read stories about rebirth where the protagonist used his prophecy to seize opportunities and reach the pinnacle of life, she sometimes worried about what would happen to those who should have had those opportunities but lacked them.
However, since most authors don't describe related plots, and watching the protagonist's cheat-like abilities grant them power and allow them to ascend to higher levels is just too satisfying, she didn't think about it in detail.
Looking at Lu Shilan and Jiang Ye, whose opportunities she had stolen, she could no longer look at many rebirth novels the same way.
[Sigh, Jiang Ye is pitiful too. Lu Shilan stole her opportunities and still treated her like a good sister. Even her beloved husband was arranged by Lu Shilan so that she would return to her family and stop competing with her for resources.]
[Doesn't she have any doubts? Lu Shilan is focused on her career, yet when it comes to her love life, she keeps telling her to believe in true love. This is clearly a trap!]
The auditions had officially begun, and Xin Yue was the first to go on stage. Jiang Ye and Lu Shilan sat quietly in the corner waiting for their turn.
Jiang Ye was very restless. Even though she was holding the script, her mind was not on it at all. Her daughter's listless appearance when she left that morning kept replaying in her mind.
Babies under one year old are at a very vulnerable age, and given that her youngest daughter was already in poor health, it was inevitable that she would fall ill during this seasonal change.
She naturally hired a nanny, but with so many news reports about unscrupulous nannies these days, she didn't dare leave the child entirely to the nanny.
Her husband is currently at a crucial point in his career, aiming for a promotion. He often works overtime and doesn't have much time to help her take care of the children.
As for her parents, they disliked her dedication to her family and also disliked her husband. After her marriage, they went abroad to travel the world to avoid seeing or worrying about her.
As for her mother-in-law, because she disliked that she had given birth to a daughter, she naturally refused to come and help take care of the child.
Therefore, even though Jiang Ye was quite uneasy about her current situation, she didn't dare to abandon her child and return to the entertainment industry completely.
She came to the audition this time because she was a fan of the original novel. A month ago, her parents scolded her again, saying that they had spent so much effort raising her and did not want her to be a full-time housewife. So she mustered up the courage to submit her resume again.
She didn't have high hopes of landing the role, given the influx of new talent in the industry and the fact that she hadn't acted in a long time.
However, to her surprise, she made it to the final round of the audition.
Since fate has given her this opportunity, she naturally doesn't want to give it up easily.
But just when she thought everything was going well, her daughter fell ill again when she went out in the morning!
She asked her husband to take the child to the hospital, but he told her with a worried look that he couldn't handle their daughter; the daughter would cry whenever she couldn't see her.
So she could only take her daughter to the hospital with her husband and the nanny, and only left after putting her to sleep. Although she eventually made it back, her condition was far worse than before.
Jiang Ye thought, "Never mind, I'll wait until my daughter is a little older before she develops her career."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, still about her and Lu Shilan, but the content was somewhat far-fetched.
How could anyone be reborn in this world? How could her husband be someone Lu Shilan had arranged for her?
Chapter 40
Jiang Ye simply smiled at the voice, not taking it seriously.
Then she looked at Lu Shilan beside her, intending to comfort her and tell her not to worry about other people's arrangements.
However, when she looked at Lu Shilan, she found that Lu Shilan was calm, as if nothing had happened!
She looked up and around, only to see that everyone remained calm, as if they hadn't heard anything.
You have to understand that Xin Yue was auditioning right now, and if such a loud noise suddenly came out, staff members would definitely come to stop her.
Could it be that she was the only one who heard that voice? Or was she just hallucinating because she'd been so busy lately?
Just as Jiang Ye was wondering what was going on, Xin Yue's performance was over.
Xin Yue's acting skills are naturally quite remarkable, and the audience erupted in applause after her performance.
Sang Yang remained expressionless, saying calmly, "His acting is indeed good, but his appearance is still somewhat different from the female lead's. Next one."
Although Jiang Ye hadn't participated in such auditions in a long time, she still understood Sang Yang's unspoken meaning: he disliked Xin Yue for not being beautiful enough.
But that's normal, since the female lead in the original novel is the most beautiful woman in the capital.
While good acting skills can enhance one's appearance, it doesn't really count as plastic surgery, so the production team definitely wants to find a top-tier beauty.
Lu Shilan clearly understood the director's unspoken meaning and became more confident in herself; her looks were top-tier even in the entertainment industry.
As for Jiang Ye, although she has arrived now, she has already made arrangements for her backup plan.
She took out a small mirror from her handbag, checked that her makeup and hairstyle were fine, and then went on stage to begin her performance.
Watching Lu Shilan's performance, Ye Jin, while disdainful that she had stolen someone else's opportunity, still had some respect for her abilities.
Jiang Ye was also watching Lu Shilan's performance, nodding in approval in his heart.
She still remembers how poor her acting was when she first started filming with Lu Shilan; she never imagined she would improve so much now.
On the other hand, she hasn't filmed in almost two years, and she probably doesn't know how others perceive her acting skills anymore.
It wouldn't be unfair if she lost to Lu Shilan in this audition.
