She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 956 - 838: Super Star 12
Both plays start in July, so from mid to late June, she enters the secret realm for cultivation and has successfully advanced to Level 4.
After each level, she can come out, but during the challenge, if unsuccessful, you must continue until success. For the eighty-one levels, you only have nine lives, and if you use them up during this entrance cultivation, you are very likely to be eliminated easily.
So, one should not just go by what is said above but must have their own judgment. Besides, why would you choose to die when you can live, wasting attempts?
However, Ning Hao doesn’t go home during the summer vacation but comes to find her every couple of days. After she’s taken the Level 10 piano exam, all her interest classes are gone.
Yet she is now in a state of cultivation, and to cultivate peacefully, she must stack up drafts before each cultivation, so her schedule is very packed.
So she slipped out, delegating the task of feeding Doudou to Ning Hao, allowing her to cultivate peacefully.
In early July, she joined a drama group in Beijing. It’s an idol drama, and she surprisingly got a chance to play the lead character during her elementary and junior high school stages. Although the role is small, the opportunity is rare, and she doesn’t even understand why someone introduced resources to her with nothing in return; it’s quite unusual.
But even knowing it’s strange, she accepted it because, from last year to now, the other party has never made any excessive demands, helping her repeatedly. If she wasn’t self-aware, she’d think it’s an attempt to promote her.
Luckily, the roles are small, and the payment is capped at ten thousand, all within her acceptable range, so there is no reason to refuse.
After mid-July, she went to Baiyangdian in Hebei to film a war drama. Well, honestly, since she’s a walkway extra, accepting or not doesn’t matter, as the group actors have lines and receive payment. What right does she have to choose scripts?
After the two dramas ended, the director called, saying he wanted to meet her. Hua Yan felt this was normal; otherwise, receiving so many resources for no reason would be quite abnormal.
On August 5th, she met Vice Director Liang in a private dining restaurant. His name is Liang An; he’s not an unknown figure, but only considered second or third-tier in the industry.
The first thing he said upon seeing her was, "Isn’t it strange why I want to promote you and give you resources?"
Hua Yan’s eyes lit up, "I’m really curious, but I never had the courage to ask. Director Liang, are you here today to clear my doubts?"
"I’m here to ask if you plan to enter this industry or if you’re just a worker, only willing to earn these extra wages for walk-on roles?"
Hua Yan responded conservatively, "I’m only trying not to let my vacation be too boring. In the future, academics will be my priority. I’ve already been admitted to Beijing Fourth Middle School, starting junior high in the fall. If there’s an opportunity, I will act; if not, I’ll continue as a group actor. I’m definitely interested, but if you’re asking whether I intend to join, signing an artist contract, I can seriously tell you I don’t plan to right now."
Even if she plans to be a star, she doesn’t intend to be tied down by an artist company yet. Behind any capital lies countless schemes and calculations, and she’s no child to be so naïve.
Liang An looked at her carefully, suddenly laughing, "You’re worthy of being the talent I noticed. To be honest, when I looked back at you, I saw drama in your eyes. Rather than saying these few roles help you, it’s more like I want to test if you’re worth promoting. But I didn’t expect you’d be so decisive, rejecting me right away. You’re very smart, no wonder you dare go to Hengdian at such a young age, very brave!"
Is that all there is? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Hua Yan always felt he was hiding something, but since he didn’t say it, she couldn’t ask. The complexity of this industry isn’t something her age can touch. Thinking of this, she stood up and deeply bowed to Liang An.
"Thank you, Director Liang, for your help. But next, I want to focus on my studies, so I’m afraid I might disappoint your kindness,"
Liang An looked deeply at her, laughing, "This girl, truly not simple, quitting just like that, isn’t it a pity?"
Hua Yan shook her head, "There’s nothing to pity. If I choose to enter this industry now, my future options will be too limited. I want to go to high school, take the college entrance exams, and select the major I want with my own abilities. If I’m still interested in this industry then, I can directly apply to the Film Academy, becoming a qualified professional. Even if the career doesn’t blossom, being a legitimate university graduate puts me far ahead of merely being a primary school graduate now."
