Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 791 - 793 Battle Talent

The agent’s words were choked, his eyebrows almost imperceptibly furrowed, and he set his face into a stern expression, coldly warning:

"I hope you do as you say! Every time He Jinxia is brought up, your mood becomes so unstable. I’m quite curious, what exactly did she do to offend you, that just mentioning her could agitate you this much?"

Deng Zhaoyan looked down at her own hands trembling slightly from agitation, picked up a cushion nearby to disguise her actions and squeezed it hard, her expression cold and lips tightly pursed.

What could she say, should she confess to her agent that she was jealous?!

Seeing He Jinxia’s rising popularity was driving her insane with jealousy!

They both slimmed down through dieting, but why was it that her transformation into an actress was smooth sailing, whereas she had to endure so much pain and still hide her past obesity from everyone?

Both transitioning into actresses, He Jinxia was skyrocketing, winning awards one after another, while her own popularity declined, and her reputation worsened.

Life was so unfair to her!

Deng Zhaoyan took a deep breath, straining to suppress her urge to throw something, and said coldly, "Nothing."

The agent was a man, not so attuned to delicate thoughts. Although Deng Chaoyan’s progression from an obese person to her present was all his planning, he was clueless about anything outside of her career.

After much thought, he simply concluded that the two inherently didn’t get along and always found each other disagreeable.

"Devil’s Sea: Mist Jungle" had set auditions for one week later, and before the auditions, nobody knew who their competitors were.

One week later, Deng Zhaoyan went to participate, feeling a tremendous pressure as she saw many leading actresses there.

Her acting was probably among the bottom five of those leading actresses present.

The only reason she wasn’t the very last was because director Stanlanca had invited not only actresses but also top female celebrities from other circles.

Anyone who had ever acted, even if they were no longer active in filming, was asked to come.

This indicated that the competition would be extremely fierce, and Deng Zhaoyan even spotted a few second-tier actresses who were particularly prominent!

Fortunately, she did not spot He Jinxia among them, implying that her level had yet to catch Stanlanca’s eye.

The auditions lasted all morning with each star emerging with a different expression, some joyful, others sorrowful.

When Deng Zhaoyan came out of her audition, her face bore a hint of joy.

Latter, the agent asked her if she was confident about landing the role. Remembering the producer’s reactions, she couldn’t help nodding her head, her face shining with a hint of confidence, "It’s highly likely."

...

One week later, far away in Country L, He Jinxia’s shooting was still ongoing.

Initially, she was still concerned about Wilson bringing his mysterious friend to visit the set, but since there had been no news later on, she gradually let it go and devoted herself wholly to the filming.

Now, the shooting at the set was no longer as tense as before, and He Jinxia spent most of her time immersing herself in the rented weaponry on set.

She had to understand how weapons were used. Only by truly grasping that could she film with professional proficiency during the shoot, aiming not to fool the experts but to deceive most amateurs.

As He Jinxia learned, she felt as though she wasn’t just acting but being trained to be a tough woman who would rush forward at any sudden incidents.

Since live ammunition and real guns were used, He Jinxia had the rare chance to handle a real gun and began her daily shooting training. Her flexible physique allowed her to endure more than the average person.

Possibly because she was naturally gifted with a feeling for guns, she quickly got into the rhythm after getting used to the recoil of shooting—load, aim at the target, and fire without hesitation—

A loud "bang" sounded, and she hit the target one hundred meters away that was marked with red tape.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Gong Hongyu watched from the side and couldn’t help but applaud, "You shoot really well!"

He Jinxia unloaded the bullets and smiled at him.

Gong Hongyu couldn’t resist saying, "Have you really not considered checking out the military camp? You have an exceptional sense of guns. Most people need 3-5 years of training to develop the kind of feeling for guns you have now. Although you’re a bit older, with some training, you could definitely become a sniper."

He Jinxia shook her head and was about to say something when Luo You anxiously interjected, "Buddy, don’t go corrupting my artist. Why would a delicate, beautiful young lady like her want to join the army?

To train her to be a sniper for what? To go to war and kill enemies? It’s a time of peace; there are no enemies! Underground operations are even worse. If she were to die, no one would even know she was a hero!

You see she’s doing quite well as an artist. She might lack a bit of privacy and be busy with work, but at least she can choose whether to take on a job and arrange her own vacations. But joining the army? No guarantee she can even get ten days of leave a year, right?"

Gong Hongyu gave a sheepish smile and scratched his head, "I just see that she’s talented and can’t bear to see her talent buried."

Luo You opened his lips to speak, but He Jinxia stopped him, saying, "It’s okay, Hongyu was just overenthusiastic. He meant no harm."

She looked at Gong Hongyu, smiling warmly, "Thank you for your good intentions, but I have no plans to pursue that direction. If it weren’t for taking on this film, I might never have discovered that I actually have quite a talent with guns."

Truth be told, she also felt quite exhilarated by the shooting, but to actually aim a gun at a person, she dared not. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Being good at acting didn’t mean she could actually do it well, much like how many people have the intent but not the courage to commit a crime, right?

From a distance, the call of the stage manager came, summoning them to go over for filming.

This scene was an external shot, featuring He Jinxia and Gong Hongyu together.

In the backstory, after escaping, Li Xiaoxiao settled down only to discover that the place was inhabited by terrorists, and all the villagers had been captured by the terrorist organization.

Li Xiaoxiao had just escaped from a safe place only to enter into the wolf’s den, being kidnapped and held as a hostage, locked up in a vehicle.

The people here were not as communicable as those before; they all had firearms, and each was highly vigilant, patrolling and checking every half an hour.

Although she had a small knife blade that could cut the ropes, she couldn’t find an opportunity to escape; once she escaped, she must flee swiftly, for if discovered, gunfire is merciless and won’t spare you just because you are a woman.

So, Li Xiaoxiao lay low here, always waiting for a chance.

While they drove, she occasionally threw small ornaments such as hair flowers out of the window.
