Chapter 202 – Do you still remember the words that you said to your fans when you won the newcomer award? (1)

The woman sitting in front of Ye Zhen had beautiful eyebrows. Underneath the sunlight, her hair was blown by the breeze. Her sitting posture was graceful, and there was elegance and charm in her facial features. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she had a peerless beauty that made others feel as if the act of looking at her was sacrilegious.

Ye Zhen had seen too many beautiful and glamorous women, but she felt that there was no one that could compare to the woman in front of her.

Although Shen Weiyin was a woman who came from a family that had been influential for generations, Ye Zhen felt that Miss Meng’s conduct was more natural and unrestrained than Shen Weiyin’s.

Even if this woman looked worried and haggard, she still evoked a sense of pity.

“Although Miss Meng has been forced to withdraw from the film industry, I know there are still many fans waiting for you to come back. Miss Meng, are you really not going to carefully consider coming back?”

Miss Meng had only been briefly mentioned in the novel, so she didn’t have any detailed knowledge of her. In the novel, Miss Meng had only been a tool for Ye Qing to use against Shen Weiyin.

Before meeting Miss Meng, Ye Zhen had already done a full investigation of Miss Meng’s past and family background.

Miss Meng’s full name was Meng Jie. Her parents were both professors at famous colleges. If you go up Miss Meng’s family tree, her ancestors were all famous people in history. Her parents had hoped she would take the path of literature and art since she was a child. They hadn’t expected that Meng Jie would like acting and apply to an acting school.

Although Meng Jie’s parents weren’t too pedantic, the information about the entertainment circle environment would inevitably become exaggerated when it got the ears of scholarly people. They thought entering the entertainment circle was like jumping into a bottomless pit. Meng Jie had always obediently followed the rules set by her parents, but she was surprisingly stubborn when it came to this.

Meng Jie’s parents could only agree to their daughter’s decision.

Meng Jie had always been blessed by the heavens. Even after she entered the entertainment circle, she continued to have good luck.

Before graduating, she was chosen by a famous director for the role of the female lead in a film. Don’t underestimate her because of her soft and immature appearance. Meng Jie was praised by many teachers at her school for her acting skills. Thanks to this movie, Meng Jie soared to the top and took the best newcomer award. After getting the newcomer award, her path had been smooth sailing.

She had good looks and a good temperament. She was genuinely kind to others and indifferent to worldly rewards. Even when wicked people made up false rumors about her, she would just laugh it off. She didn’t endorse any brands and devoted herself to acting. In the past eight years, she had given back to her fans by acting in over twenty well-produced works.

But then, the program team removed Meng Jie from the list of candidates for the film empress award on the eve of the awards’ ceremony that would take place in the most influential film festival in China. Since then, news of Meng Jie had completely disappeared from the entertainment industry.

Her fans didn’t know what had happened, and they clamored that this was unfair. Only people from the entertainment industry knew that Meng Jie had offended someone and got blacklisted.

When she got blacklisted, Meng Jie still had two years left on her contract with her acting agency at the time. After the two years passed, the contract successfully terminated, but no company dared to sign her on. The only studio that had dared to sign her was acquired two months later, so that ended in failure.

It had been four years since Meng Jie had been blacklisted.

Since then, there had been wave after wave of new celebrities on the big screen, and her fans gradually forgot about her. How could any celebrity last the passage of time after four years?

Miss Meng had a smile in her eyes, and her tone was calm when she answered, “It’s already been four years since I left the entertainment circle. My life is very peaceful now.”

Faced with a woman that was at peace with the status quo and content with living a life, Ye Zhen was unable to say the words she had originally prepared to persuade her.

“Do you still remember the words that you said to your fans when you won the newcomer award? “ Ye Zhen smiled. “You said that when you’re young, you can act as a young woman; when you’re middle-aged, you can act as a woman; when you’re old, you can act as a mother. As long as you could act, you would continue acting. You would devote your life to acting and wouldn’t disappoint your fans.”
