Chapter 255: Who Says a Clear Little White Flower Has No Ambition?

Shen Li was very resistant to the respectful title of "Teacher" from the bottom of her heart.

She had only entered the industry for half a year, and she was really not used to being called Teacher. 【25

Sensing the seriousness in Shen Li's tone, Tan Yue said: "Okay, I'm just used to calling you that."

As he spoke, he got into the car and sat down in the seat opposite Shen Li, looking around curiously at the structure of the RV: "This is my first time inside an RV. I used to only see people who drove RVs for travel on video apps, and I felt quite envious."

"Tea..." Tan Yue subconsciously wanted to call her Teacher again, but hurriedly changed his words: "Shen Li, did the company provide this for you? I see that Teacher Sui Yu and Teacher Han both have one."

Shen Li nodded without denying it.

"That's great. I don't know when I'll be signed by a company and become a real actor."

"You definitely will. Maybe a company will sign you after you finish filming this movie," Shen Li said.

Speaking of signing contracts, Shen Li couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "By the way, have you signed the contract for the crew? How is the pay?"

"Signed it. The pay is quite a lot, it's 'fifteen' yuan! It's still the lead who makes money. I've been an extra for a year and haven't earned this much," Tan Yue said excitedly.

For someone who could only take on scattered extra work, receiving fifteen yuan in pay all at once definitely felt like a lot.

But Shen Li knew that the pay for this movie, which He Zixiao had abandoned, was fifty yuan. When it reached Tan Yue, fifty became fifteen, directly reversed.

But as a newcomer having his pay reduced was a matter of course, and Shen Li couldn't say much else about it.

At least Tan Yue himself felt satisfied, and that was enough. After all, contentment brings happiness; saying too much would instead destroy this rare mindset of his.

The two chatted while eating. Shen Li asked him about many things she was curious about, and Tan Yue was also very talkative, actively extending many other knowledge points based on Shen Li's questions.

After a while, Tan Yue suddenly asked Shen Li in return: "Shen Li, why did you suddenly choose to film this movie?"

Shen Li was taken aback by the question: "Why not?"

Tan Yue thought for a moment and said slowly: "The 'Destiny Becomes Phoenix' you filmed before is a S+ big IP. It will definitely explode after it airs, and you've already been on the hot search several times before the show even aired. You can be considered to have made a name for yourself. Logically, shouldn't you strike while the iron is hot and continue to choose scripts with potential?"

"I'm not saying the script for our movie is bad, but I think other actresses probably wouldn't choose this script. The subject matter and subsequent box office aren't favored by the market. Don't actors nowadays value the market very much?"

Shen Li understood what he wanted to express. He felt that she should continue to film popular dramas to accumulate popularity for herself.

Choosing the current script would very likely be hit hard by the market, and because it delayed her for several months, it was very likely that she would lose the popularity she had previously accumulated.

After all, in the entertainment industry now, especially for actresses, the turnover is very fast, and one might disappear if not careful.

"I just want to play this role." Shen Li was also very frank, looking at Tan Yue and saying seriously: "I have never thought that I must be very popular or have a lot of traffic. That wasn't my original intention for entering the industry."

"What I like is the performance itself, as long as the script is good and the role is good. At that time, the company gave me seven scripts to choose from, including the kind of scripts you mentioned that are favored by the market, but none of them attracted me like this one. I want to play her."

She even wanted to find the protagonist of the prototype to talk to for this role, but eventually gave up the idea.

Picking at other people's scars to fulfill oneself is too cruel; she couldn't do it.

"If you don't care about being popular or having traffic, do you have any other goals? Or is playing your role well your goal?" Tan Yue asked.

Shen Li didn't think too much and replied bluntly: "If I have to talk about goals, I want to win awards!"

When she said this, Shen Li's eyes were exceptionally bright.

Who said a clear, innocent little white flower can't have ambition?

Her ambition was bigger than anyone's. She wanted to use her performances to win all the awards; she wanted to go down in film history and become a legend among actors.

It was just that she knew she wasn't enough yet, so she could only bury this ambition in her heart.

She would work hard, and she would give her all for it!

Exhausted the night before, she was really too tired.

When Shen Ci opened her eyes again, it was already the next afternoon.

A good night's sleep didn't completely dissipate the fatigue on her body. Tang Song was relentless and refused to surrender, making her shuttle back and forth between exhaustion and excitement.

Even the final bath was done with Tang Song carrying her into the bathtub.

The apartment was quiet. On the dining table, the breakfast Tang Song made for her before he left was still there. He probably didn't expect her to sleep until one in the afternoon.

Heating it up in the microwave, Shen Ci didn't waste his intentions. After eating, she sent a message to Tang Song telling him she had returned.

Returning home, she happened to run into Jin Pili packing her things to go downstairs.

"You're back." Seeing this, Jin Pili walked up to Shen Ci and suddenly hugged her under her surprised gaze: "Thank you for these days. I'm fine now, so I'm planning to go back!"

Behind her, Shen Yuzhen and Gu Lianxing also packed their things and came down one after another. Obviously, Jin Pili had decided to leave, and the few of them who had gathered here because of Jin Pili also planned to leave together.

No matter how good the relationship was, they couldn't keep living at Shen Ci's place forever.

"Why are you being so polite with me? I'm relieved that you can move on early." Shen Ci patted Jin Pili's back, but her eyes were asking Lianxing and Zhenzhen, "Is she really okay?"

Seeing that both of them nodded, she felt relieved.

Shen Yuzhen said: "I'll drive Jin Pili back, don't worry. I have to go back too, otherwise my grandfather will 'care about me' with thirty video calls every day."

This day was bound to come, and Shen Ci didn't force them to stay, sending them to the intersection outside the main gate.

"Anyway, school is starting soon, we'll see each other at school then," Shen Ci said.

Jin Pili nodded gently, intentionally revealing a smile that made Shen Ci feel at ease: "Then we're leaving, see you at school!"

Shen Ci and Lianxing waved at the same time, and they watched Shen Yuzhen's car slowly drive away, moving further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

"OK, then this young lady is going back too." Lianxing looked at Shen Ci with a sweet smile: "Anyway, we live close to each other. If you miss me, tell me anytime, and I'll come to see you immediately!"

Just as Gu Lianxing was speaking, the look and emotion in her eyes suddenly changed, gradually turning from containing a smile to hesitation, curiosity, and finally shock.

Shen Ci noticed that her gaze was no longer focused on her, but was looking past her toward the direction behind her.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw a fair-skinned, handsome young man standing not far behind her.

The next second, Gu Lianxing screamed: "Jiang Lingchuan? Where are your glasses!"
