Chapter 452: Chapter 449: Best Actress 16

If Meng Simin didn’t harm her, then Shuangshuang would naturally eliminate this small virus. But if Meng Simin was indeed the mastermind using such insidious means to harm others, Shuangshuang would never let Meng Simin get away with it.

Thanks to the experience of being disgraced in a past life, Shuangshuang despised those who malign others behind their backs and tarnish reputations!

Due to this incident, many extras and support staff in the crew spoke up for Shuangshuang. Although at first, their voices were drowned in the tide of online trolls and indignant netizens, after the situation turned around, these people’s comments significantly boosted Shuangshuang’s reputation!

Most importantly, a few people revealed their true identities to support Shuangshuang, which added more authenticity. Anyone with an interest could check and verify their information.

With so many people speaking well of her, Shuangshuang’s reputation online was soaring. After all, someone who receives praise from a large group of extras and support staff can’t have poor character.

To thank these people, Shuangshuang spent her own money to treat everyone to a big meal. However, there were too many people in the crew, and just this one occasion drained her savings. Still, Shuangshuang’s gesture made everyone very happy.

The subsequent filming process went smoothly. Even though Meng Simin remained hostile towards Shuangshuang, making Shuangshuang feel uncomfortable every time they interacted, Meng Simin acted perfectly in front of others. Shuangshuang couldn’t gather any useful information from Meng Simin’s phone either.

This led Shuangshuang to doubt several times whether her instincts were wrong and that Meng Simin wasn’t the one plotting against her. After all, in her past life, Meng Simin had a good reputation with no scandals or reports of bullying newcomers.

Despite questioning her instincts multiple times, Shuangshuang decided to wait until the filming was complete and aired before retrieving the little virus.

This historical drama took almost half a year to film because Fang Jian’s shooting standards were very high. While not reaching the level of a movie, it was comparable, and any unsatisfactory parts required retakes. The actors with the least NGs were Shuangshuang and He Bin.

One was an old pro despite being young, and the other was a newcomer with a demon-like talent for acting. Not only blessed by the heavens, but also diligently honing her craft day and night, Shuangshuang’s dedication earned her the respect of the entire crew.

If a successful person’s talent is exceptional, others might envy them and say, "It’s just because of their talent!" If a successful person isn’t as talented but works hard, others might sourly claim, "If I worked that hard, I could achieve the same."

But when someone more talented and hardworking than you achieves success, no matter how much it bothers you, there’s nothing sour left to say. Nowadays, Shuangshuang has used her effort and talent to silence everyone!

As the filming neared conclusion, Zheng Mingjing called to invite Shuangshuang to attend the screening of the movie she shot!

In normal circumstances, a newcomer like Shuangshuang, with less than a minute of screen time in the movie, wouldn’t be eligible to attend the screening.

However, thanks to the previous fight incident, Shuangshuang’s fame was approaching that of a third-tier small star. Although she had no work to her name yet, many people knew her, and she even had a small group of fans starting to follow her.

Seeing that Shuangshuang had gained some fame, albeit small, Zheng Mingjing intended to give her a lift and conveniently offered her a chance to make an appearance at the screening.

When Shuangshuang requested leave from Fang Jian, he readily approved it. By now, Shuangshuang’s scenes with other partners were basically finished, so it didn’t matter if she took two days off. They could just film other people’s parts first.

Speaking of which, Shuangshuang was financially strapped. The money from her previous part-time jobs and most of her earnings had been spent on treating the entire crew to a meal, leaving very little behind.

Although it’s typical for stars to be paid in advance for filming, as a newcomer, Shuangshuang’s payment would only come after filming completed. Hence, she had to stretch her remaining money until the end of production, or she’d be forced to go without food!

As such, Shuangshuang couldn’t afford to fly to the screening, nor could she take the fast train, as those tickets were often more expensive than flights. With her limited funds, she had no choice but to take the longer train journey.

Fortunately, the city hosting the screening wasn’t too far from H City. A half-day train ride would suffice for Shuangshuang. Though the round trip would consume quite some time, at least Fang Jian had granted a long enough leave period.

To save money, Shuangshuang didn’t choose a sleeper seat but opted for a regular hard seat. Boarding the train, she wore a wig with bangs covering her forehead and a medical mask. Wearing a mask in public wasn’t uncommon, so no one suspected Shuangshuang was an actress.

Shuangshuang’s disguise wasn’t out of vanity but because her photos had circulated widely online during the previous incidents. Although her fame hadn’t reached that of big stars, her recognizability was not far off in the short term.

Smoothly exiting the train amidst the flow of people, Shuangshuang prepared to find the address Zheng Mingjing had given her. Although she knew where Zheng Mingjing was, a cab ride cost quite a bit, and she felt a pinch at the thought.

It wasn’t that Shuangshuang was stingy, but her finances were too tight. If she splurged today, her wallet might rebel in a few days, leaving her hungry!

With no other option, Shuangshuang decided to take the bus. Although waiting for the bus consumed time, she had enough to spare and didn’t mind the wait.

Carrying a backpack, Shuangshuang navigated through the bustling crowd to the bus stop. She checked the schedule and confirmed her bus before standing in the shade waiting for it.

This bus was exceptionally slow. After a long wait without seeing it arrive, Shuangshuang began to feel impatient. Just then, she heard commotion not far behind her and turned to see a man sprinting past!

The man moved swiftly, the wind from his dash lifting Shuangshuang’s bangs. Before she could react to what was happening, a middle-aged woman came running past, crying out!
