After I died, they cried in the live studio

"By the way, Sang Jiuyue was on the hot search again today, and it was still about the complaints about her acting skills." Sang Shuwan suddenly remembered and said casually.

Jiang Cimu frowned slightly, tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Don't worry about her, her affairs are not worth your attention. Just focus on your career and be happy."

Sang Shuwan smiled and nodded: "I know, I just mentioned it casually. Now I don't have the heart to care about others, I just want to finish filming this movie quickly, then have a good rest for a while, and go traveling with you."

Jiang Cimu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile: "Okay, when you finish filming, we will go to the Maldives where you have always wanted to go, relax and enjoy the world of two people."

Sang Shuwan's eyes were full of anticipation. She imagined walking on the beach with Jiang Cimu and watching the sunrise and sunset, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She knew that no matter how noisy the outside world was, as long as Jiang Cimu was by her side, she had the whole world. And Sang Jiuyue's troubles had long been left behind by her. Her life was moving forward in a direction full of love and beauty.

In the early morning, the sunlight penetrated the thin clouds, and gilded a layer of warm light on the gate of the film and television base. Sang Jiuyue stood quietly in front of the gate, took a deep breath, slowly raised her hand, and gently touched the familiar gate, her fingertips trembling slightly. The past glory and desolation surged into her heart like a tide. At that time, she was in the limelight under the flash, enjoying the pursuit of fans and the focus of the media, but because her heart was filled with jealousy and impulse, she made a series of wrong actions, and finally fell to pieces, becoming a laughing stock after dinner. At this moment, after going through precipitation and transformation, she returned resolutely with the firm determination to break out of the cocoon and be reborn.

"I must prove myself." Sang Jiuyue murmured to herself in a low voice, her voice soft but full of unquestionable determination. Then she straightened her back and strode into the base with steady steps.

The set was bustling with activity, with staff running back and forth, debugging various equipment, and carefully arranging the scenes. The lighting technician was adjusting the angle of the lights, striving to create the most perfect light and shadow effects; the prop master was busy moving and placing props, ensuring that every detail was in line with the plot setting. Just then, General Manager Qi came walking quickly in high heels with a strong aura. General Manager Qi was Sang Jiuyue's agent. She had been working in the entertainment industry for many years, and her methods were vigorous and resolute. She had a wide network of contacts and high prestige. She was a well-known "iron lady" in the industry, and she was very picky. She had high hopes for Sang Jiuyue and would not allow her to slack off.

Seeing Sang Jiuyue, Mr. Qi's eyes instantly became sharp, like a sharp scalpel, examining her straightly, frowning slightly, revealing a look of disappointment. "Oh, you finally came?" Mr. Qi crossed his arms, his tone full of toughness, the volume was not loud but enough to attract curious glances from the busy staff around, and the scene became a little awkward. "You disappeared for so long, and now you're back. The entertainment industry is not a game. You can come back whenever you want. You have to know what you want to do."

Sang Jiuyue's heart skipped a beat and her heartbeat quickened suddenly, but her face quickly adjusted itself. With a gentle smile on her face, she responded calmly, "Mr. Qi, I was ignorant in the past, and I was blinded by fame and fortune. I took many detours and suffered a lot." She lowered her head slightly, with a sincere regret on her face. After a pause, she raised her head again and looked at Mr. Qi firmly, "But during this time I have been reflecting on myself and settling down. During my study abroad, I have been studying acting and watching various excellent works every day. Now I just want to focus on acting and play every role well. Mr. Qi, you have been with me all the way, and you must have seen my ups and downs countless times. I hope you can give me more guidance to help me avoid some detours." These words were spoken humbly and appropriately. She generously admitted her past shortcomings and cleverly expressed her respect and reliance on Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi was slightly startled, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect Sang Jiuyue to respond so calmly and sincerely. The series of harsh reprimands he had prepared were stuck in his throat. At this time, Director Li Ming hurried over to smooth things over: "Mr. Qi, Sang Jiuyue's audition performance was really good this time. She understood and interpreted the role very well. I believe she can bring surprises to everyone."

President Qi coughed lightly, his face regained its calm expression, and he said lightly: "Then wait and see. I hope you don't just talk about it. Your works and acting skills are the real ability. This is your only chance, don't mess it up again."

The filming officially began, and Sang Jiuyue quickly got into the mood. Today's scene was a highlight of an emotional outburst. After experiencing a series of setbacks, the character she played finally broke down emotionally at this moment. Sang Jiuyue was fully focused, interpreting the character's inner pain, despair and unwillingness vividly, and every subtle change in her expression accurately conveyed the character's emotions. Her voice was trembling and crying, completely releasing the emotional tension in the lines, and the staff around her couldn't help but immerse themselves in the emotional atmosphere she created.

In this scene, Mr. Qi stood beside the monitor, staring at the screen closely, not missing any of Sang Jiuyue's subtle performance. Seeing Sang Jiuyue's dedication and portrayal of the role to the core, Mr. Qi couldn't help but flash a trace of admiration in his eyes.

After the scene ended, the audience was silent for a few seconds, and then there was warm applause. Director Li Ming stood up from behind the monitor excitedly and praised loudly: "Sang Jiuyue, this scene was so great! The inner world of the character was very delicate, and the progression and outburst of emotions were just right." Other staff members also cast admiring glances.

There was a hint of relief in President Qi's eyes, but he still didn't let on: "It's okay, don't be proud, this is just a play, there is still a long way to go. It's not easy to maintain this state, don't let me down." But Sang Jiuyue could feel that President Qi's attitude had subtly changed. There was a hint of recognition in his eyes that were originally full of doubt and severity.

In the subsequent filming days, Sang Jiuyue did not relax her requirements for herself. After work every day, she would stay alone on the set, repeatedly pondering the next day's scenes and constantly adjusting the details of her performance. When she encountered problems she did not understand, she would not only ask Mr. Qi for advice, but also learn humbly from the director, screenwriter and other experienced staff.

Once, when filming an action scene, Sang Jiuyue insisted on completing some difficult movements in person in order to achieve a better shooting effect, and accidentally sprained her ankle. The staff advised her to rest, but she simply treated the wound and continued filming. When Mr. Qi saw this scene, he admired her tenacity and professionalism even more.

"You are a girl who is quite hardworking." Mr. Qi came over and watched Sang Jiuyue limping away. He couldn't help but say, "But you should also take care of your health and don't exhaust yourself. We can't afford to lose this show."

Sang Jiuyue smiled gratefully: "Mr. Qi, I'm fine. I know this opportunity is rare, and I don't want to delay the filming progress because of a minor injury. And I also want everyone to see my determination and changes."

As the filming progressed, Sang Jiuyue's tacit understanding with other actors in the crew became better and better. In a group scene, she cleverly led the emotions of other young actors, making the atmosphere of the whole scene more real and vivid. Director Li Ming saw it and was very happy.

"Sang Jiuyue, you are in very good shape now. Not only has your acting skills improved greatly, but you can also motivate other actors. Keep up the good work, and this drama will definitely be great." Li Ming encouraged.

However, there is no shortage of rumors in the entertainment industry. As news of Sang Jiuyue's outstanding performance on the set spread, some negative rumors began to quietly grow. Some people said that she relied on the relationship and means of her agent to get more performance opportunities, and some people questioned that her acting skills were just superficial and for hype.

Faced with these rumors, Sang Jiuyue felt very aggrieved and helpless, but she did not choose to respond or argue directly. She knew very well that in the entertainment industry, the more she responded, the more she might fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. She decided to use practical actions to break these false rumors.

During an important media visit, a reporter deliberately made things difficult for me by asking, "Sang Jiuyue, there are recent rumors that you relied on your agent's connections to get roles in the crew. What's your response to this?"

Sang Jiuyue smiled slightly and answered calmly and firmly: "I cherish this filming opportunity very much, so I put all my energy into improving my acting skills and shaping the character. As for those rumors, I believe that everyone will naturally make a judgment after seeing the work. I hope that everyone will pay attention to my performance in the play rather than these unfounded rumors." Her answer was neither humble nor arrogant. She was neither angered by the reporter's questions nor avoided the questions, which won the recognition of some media people present.

President Qi heard this answer and nodded secretly. After the event, she found Sang Jiuyue and said earnestly: "You did the right thing. In this circle, strength and works are the most powerful response. Don't be affected by those negative voices, and insist on being yourself. If we succeed this time, our future will be easier."

As the filming gradually drew to a close, Sang Jiuyue's acting skills became more mature, and her understanding and interpretation of the role reached a new height. In the final scene, her performance was amazing, and she perfectly presented the character's growth and transformation in front of the camera. After the filming, the entire crew applauded her, and General Qi also walked up to her and gave her a big hug.

"Sang Jiuyue, you did it. From being doubted in the beginning to conquering everyone with your strength now, you have really grown a lot." President Qi said with emotion.

With tears in her eyes, Sang Jiuyue said excitedly: "Mr. Qi, this is all inseparable from your help and encouragement. Without your constant support, I might have given up long ago."

After the show was broadcast, it quickly caused a sensation. Sang Jiuyue won the love and recognition of the audience with her outstanding acting skills, and various awards and honors came one after another. She finally stood at the pinnacle of her acting career again, and this time, she relied on her own efforts, strength and love for acting. At an award ceremony, Sang Jiuyue gave a speech: "I used to be lost in jealousy and vanity, and I was bruised and battered. But I am very fortunate that when I was most confused, I met Ms. Qi. She is like a beacon. Not only did she point the way for me in my career, but she also constantly inspired me when I wanted to give up. I will always remember this kindness, and I will continue to work hard on the road of acting to bring more excellent works to everyone."

President Qi, who was watching the radiant Sang Jiuyue on the stage, smiled with satisfaction. She knew that this girl who had once gone astray had truly emerged from her cocoon and had spread her own gorgeous wings in the vast sky of the entertainment industry.

Night fell over the city, and Sang Shuwan's villa was brightly lit, with warm yellow light pouring into the courtyard through the French windows. In the restaurant, the table was filled with exquisite dishes, with curling steam rising and an alluring aroma. Sang Shuwan, wearing simple home clothes, sat lazily at the table, enjoying the quiet time of dinner.

Her slender fingers casually swiped the screen of her mobile phone, and inadvertently, a piece of entertainment news came into her eyes - "Sang Jiuyue's strong comeback, new drama is about to hit", accompanied by a photo of Sang Jiuyue on the set. In the photo, Sang Jiuyue had delicate makeup and her eyes were full of confidence and determination. Sang Shuwan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a slightly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the laughter gently echoed in the quiet restaurant.

"Oh, it's really interesting." Sang Shuwan murmured softly, her tone full of disdain. She put down her knife and fork, picked up her phone, and read the news carefully again. Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, some surprise, some contempt, and more helplessness about this phenomenon in the entertainment industry.

In Sang Shuwan's opinion, the entertainment industry should be a place where strength and talent speak for themselves, but the reality is always full of absurdity and helplessness. It is hard for her to accept that someone like Sang Jiuyue, who once made mistakes and slandered others with malicious means, can make a comeback so easily just because she has resources and capitalists behind her.

"With resources and the support of capitalists, can you really ignore everything?" Sang Shuwan frowned, anger welling up in her heart. She thought of the hardships she had gone through. In order to hone her acting skills, she spent countless days and nights studying scripts and figuring out roles. In order to win a role, she had to go through rounds of brutal auditions and endure tremendous pressure. As for Sang Jiuyue, it seemed that as long as she relied on the power behind her, she could easily return to the public eye, as if those shameful things in the past had never happened.

Sang Shuwan leaned back in her chair, staring ahead with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, her thoughts drifting back to the past. At that time, Sang Jiuyue launched a series of malicious attacks on her in order to snatch resources. The slanderous remarks on anonymous blogs and the spread of rumors on social media made her fall into the whirlpool of public opinion, exhausting her physically and mentally. During those days, she was under tremendous mental pressure and even began to doubt her choice.

"Is it fair to those who really work hard to make a comeback so easily?" Sang Shuwan thought silently in her heart. She knew that competition in the entertainment industry was cruel, but this unfair phenomenon made her angry and disappointed. In this circle, it seems that as long as there is the power of capital, it can reverse right and wrong, allowing those who make mistakes to be easily whitewashed and continue to enjoy fame and fortune.

Sang Shuwan picked up the water cup and took a sip, trying to calm down. She knew that she could not change the status quo in the entertainment industry, but she would never compromise. She would continue to stick to her principles, gain a foothold in this circle with her own strength, and prove her value with excellent works.

"No matter what others do, I will go my own way." Sang Shuwan whispered, with a determined light in her eyes. She put down her phone, picked up her knife and fork again, and continued to enjoy her dinner. However, at this moment, she had a deeper understanding of the complex ecology of the entertainment industry.

The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on the city streets, casting a light golden hue on everything. Sang Shuwan and Nancy met at a private restaurant hidden in an alley. The restaurant was elegantly decorated, with wooden tables and chairs, retro ornaments, and the faint scent of tea, creating a peaceful and cozy atmosphere.

Sang Shuwan wore a simple white dress with a pair of exquisite flat sandals, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a fresh and refined temperament. Nancy wore a smart black suit and had a neat short hair, looking smart and fashionable. As soon as the two walked into the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention.

"The environment of this store is pretty good. I discovered it by chance." Sang Shuwan said to Nancy with a smile.

"Well, it's really stylish. Compared to those noisy restaurants outside, this place is simply a paradise." Nancy nodded in praise as she looked around.

The waiter came over, enthusiastically guided them to their seats, and handed them the menu. After ordering a few signature dishes, the two began to chat.

"What have you been busy with recently? We haven't contacted each other for a long time, and I feel that you have become more beautiful." Sang Shuwan teased Nancy with a smile.

"No, it's the same as before, just busy with work. But you, do you have a new work coming out soon?" Nancy asked.

"Yes, but before that, I saw some interesting news." Sang Shuwan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Oh? What news?" Nancy leaned closer curiously.

At this time, the waiter brought the first dish. Sang Shuwan waited for the waiter to leave before slowly saying, "Have you heard? Sang Jiuyue has made a comeback and has become inexplicably popular."

"Sang Jiuyue?" Nancy's eyes widened in surprise. "She's the one who used despicable means to suppress you before? Why did she show up again?"

"I find it very strange, too. Everyone knows what she did back then. Logically, it should be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry again. But who would have thought that not only did she have a new drama recently, but it was also very popular." Sang Shuwan shook his head helplessly.

"This entertainment industry is really confusing. People with strength and moral character sometimes have to work very hard to get a chance; but people like her can easily make a comeback and even get resources," Nancy said angrily.

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that she has strong capital support behind her, maybe that's the reason." Sang Shuwan sighed softly.

"The power of capital is indeed terrifying. But the audience is not stupid. Have they all forgotten her past dark history?" Nancy asked puzzledly.

"Maybe time will dilute some memories. Besides, in the current entertainment industry, there are endless means of hype and packaging. As long as there is enough exposure, plus some marketing accounts touting, even if it is black, it can be said to be white." Sang Shuwan said with a wry smile. "So what drama is she acting in this time?" Nancy asked curiously.

"It's a big-budget costume drama, and she plays the second female lead. It is said that for this role, she even went abroad to study for a period of time, and her acting skills seem to have improved greatly." Sang Shuwan said.

"Further study can change everything? I think she is just trying to whitewash herself. However, acting skills are not something that can be improved just by saying so," Nancy said doubtfully.

"I'm not sure about that. However, judging from some clips on the Internet, her performance is indeed different from before. Maybe she is really trying to change." Sang Shuwan said thoughtfully.

"Even if her acting skills have improved, what about her character? I still find it hard to believe that such a person can really reform herself." Nancy was still full of hostility towards Sang Jiuyue.

"I understand how you feel. In fact, it's hard for me to completely let it go either. But in this circle, we can't just look at the past, we still have to let the work speak for itself. If she can really gain recognition from the audience with her strength, then we can only accept it." Sang Shuwan analyzed rationally.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how long she can stay popular. I don't believe that she will keep the audience in the dark forever." Nancy was still a little unconvinced.

At this time, the dishes were all served, and the two of them temporarily stopped talking about this topic and started to enjoy the food. But Sang Jiuyue's matter was like a thorn that pierced their hearts from time to time, preventing them from fully immersing themselves in this wonderful dining time.

"By the way, what project are you working on recently?" Sang Shuwan tried to change the subject to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

"I'm in charge of planning a new variety show, which is a celebrity life experience program. It's still in the preparation stage, but many celebrities have expressed interest." Nancy's face was filled with confidence and excitement when she talked about her work.

"It sounds interesting. This type of program is very popular nowadays. Maybe it will become a hit." Sang Shuwan encouraged with a smile.

"I hope so. However, it's not easy to do variety shows. There are too many things to consider. From the selection of guests, to the content planning of the program, to the post-production and promotion, every link cannot go wrong." Nancy said with emotion.

"Yes, whether it is doing variety shows or filming a drama, each has its own difficulties. But as long as you do it with your heart, you will always reap rewards. Just like every time I shoot a drama, I hope to bring something different to the audience and let them see my growth and progress." Sang Shuwan said seriously.

"You're right. In fact, aren't we working hard in the entertainment industry to realize our dreams and bring good works to the audience?" Nancy nodded in agreement.

"That's right. So, no matter how Sang Jiuyue's affairs develop, we must stick to our original intentions and do our jobs well." Sang Shuwan said firmly.

While eating, the two shared their experiences in work and life. Before they knew it, the topic returned to the current situation in the entertainment industry.

"Do you think the entertainment industry is too impetuous now? Everyone is only pursuing traffic and popularity, and there are fewer and fewer people who really work hard on their works." Nancy said with some concern.

"There is such a phenomenon. But I believe that there are still many people like us who insist on doing what they like and strive to bring high-quality works to the audience. As long as we don't follow the crowd, this circle will always get better." Sang Shuwan said optimistically.

"Well, I hope so. I think people like us should set an example and let more people see that strength and character are the foundation for gaining a foothold in the entertainment industry." Nancy said seriously.

"You are right. In fact, Sang Jiuyue's incident also reminds us that no matter what position we are in, we must always stay sober and not be blinded by fame and fortune." Sang Shuwan said with emotion.

"Yes, it's not easy to do this in this circle full of temptations. However, since we have chosen this path, we must stick to it," Nancy said firmly.

After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the restaurant. The sun had already set, and the sky was stained with a gorgeous sunset glow. They stood by the roadside, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"After talking to you for so long today, I feel much better." Sang Shuwan said to Nancy with a smile.

"Me too. We should get together more often in the future and communicate with each other. Maybe we can inspire each other." Nancy responded with a smile.

"Okay, it's a deal." Sang Shuwan nodded.

After the two said goodbye, Sang Shuwan got in the car and looked at the street scene that kept receding outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. The entertainment industry is like a huge puzzle, full of unknowns and challenges. But she believes that as long as she sticks to her beliefs and works hard to improve herself, she will be able to find her own direction in this puzzle and shine the most dazzling light. And Sang Jiuyue's story will also become a warning on her way forward, reminding her to stay sober and not forget her original intention.

On a sunny weekend, the busiest commercial street in the city was bustling with people. The shops on both sides of the street were full of dazzling goods, and the windows displayed the most fashionable goods of the season. The flashing neon lights and gorgeous decorations attracted people's attention. Sang Jiuyue, wearing a simple but fashionable casual outfit and a pair of big sunglasses, came to the door of the high-end shopping mall where she had agreed to meet with Saixi early. She kept looking around, feeling nervous and expectant.

Not long after, a black luxury car slowly stopped, the door opened, and Cece walked out gracefully. She was tall and well-proportioned, with long blond hair casually draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a fitted white dress and a pair of exquisite high heels. Every step she took was confident and calm, as if she had her own catwalk aura, attracting the attention of passers-by around her.

"Saisi, this way!" Sang Jiuyue hurried forward and greeted warmly.

Saixi took off her sunglasses and smiled brightly, "Ji Yue, long time no see!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a unique affinity.

The two walked into the shopping mall, casually browsing the shops and chatting. Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say, "Saisi, I asked you out today because I wanted to learn from you. You know, I was always not confident enough on stage before, and my expression management was not very good. I saw your outstanding performance on the catwalk, and I was really envious. Can you teach me?"

Saixi smiled and patted Sang Jiuyue on the shoulder. "Of course! In fact, self-confidence, to a large extent, comes from inner confidence. You have to fully understand your own strengths and believe in your own abilities. Before going on stage every time, you can give yourself some positive hints in your heart and tell yourself 'I am the best'. Also, you must know your performance content very well. The more fully prepared you are, the more confident you will be."

Sang Jiuyue nodded seriously, "Yes, you are right. I used to lack confidence in myself and was always worried about making mistakes, which made me more nervous. What about expression management? Are there any techniques?"

Saixi brought Sang Jiuyue to a beauty store, picked up a lipstick, and gently applied it in front of the mirror, saying: "The first thing to do in expression management is to relax your facial muscles. You see, when many people get nervous, their faces become stiff, and their expressions become unnatural. You can do more facial relaxation exercises in your daily life, such as massaging your facial muscles, or practicing some simple facial expressions." As she spoke, Saixi made several different expressions in front of the mirror, smiling, laughing, and thinking. Each expression was just right and full of appeal.

“Also, you need to adjust your facial expressions according to different scenes and atmospheres. On stage, your facial expressions should be able to convey the character’s emotions and stories so that the audience can empathize with you. For example, if you want to show happiness, then smile as much as you can and let your eyes be full of smiles; if you want to show sadness, your eyes should become dim, with slightly frowned brows and drooping corners of your mouth.” Saixi spoke and demonstrated, while Sang Jiuyue observed carefully at the side and imitated Saixi’s expressions from time to time.

"Then how should I control my eyes when walking on the catwalk? I always feel that my eyes are empty." Sang Jiuyue asked again.

"Eyes are very important!" Saisi said, "When walking on the runway, your eyes should be firm and bright, with a kind of 'defiant' confidence, but not arrogant. You can try to focus your eyes on a point in the distance, then look straight ahead with a confident smile, and every step seems to show your charm to the audience. In addition, your eyes should be coordinated with your body movements. For example, when you turn around, your eyes can also move with it, which increases the overall beauty and smoothness."

The two continued to walk around the shopping mall, and Saixi shared some experiences about body language and stage presence. Sang Jiuyue listened with great interest and asked some questions from time to time. The two had a heated discussion. Unknowingly, they came to a clothing store. Sang Jiuyue tried on a few clothes and showed them in front of the mirror. Saixi gave her advice carefully and helped her adjust her posture and expression.

"Look, if you straighten your back, open your shoulders slightly back, and lift your chin slightly, don't you look more confident and more elegant?" Saixi said as she walked forward to help Sang Jiuyue adjust her posture.

Sang Jiuyue looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she was in a completely different state. She said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Saixi! I really learned a lot today. I will practice hard when I go back."

Saixi smiled and said, "You're welcome! In fact, these all require long-term practice and accumulation. As long as you stick to it, you will definitely show a more confident and outstanding self on the stage."

As the sun sets, the two walk out of the shopping mall and say goodbye to each other. Sang Jiuyue is in a particularly good mood. She has not only learned a lot of practical skills, but also gained a lot of confidence. She believes that she will be able to shine on the stage in the future.

After parting with Saixi, Sang Jiuyue sat in the car on the way home, constantly thinking about every key point she had learned today, her mouth unconsciously raised, her heart filled with joy of harvest. Outside the car window, the neon lights of the city gradually lit up, merging into a gorgeous sea of light, but the light in her eyes was even hotter than the lights.

"Today was really great, and these experiences are priceless." Sang Jiuyue whispered softly, tapping her knees with her fingers, unable to hide her excitement. She knew very well that today's gains were an important cornerstone for her resurgence.

However, the joy did not last long. Soon, Sang Shuwan's figure broke into her thoughts. The reluctance of being suppressed by Sang Shuwan and the past when she was outshined by her in the entertainment industry suddenly came to her mind. "I can't just be satisfied with this. I want to surpass Sang Shuwan and stand at a height that she can never reach." Sang Jiuyue clenched her fists, her eyes became firm and sharp, and the fighting spirit in her heart was burning.

After returning home, Sang Jiuyue didn't even change her clothes and walked straight into the spacious practice room. She turned on the bright lights, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and began to repeatedly practice the expressions and body movements that Saixi taught her. She smiled confidently at one moment and made a cold expression at another, constantly adjusting the focus of her eyes and observing every subtle change in herself in the mirror.

"This is not enough, it's not perfect enough." Sang Jiuyue frowned, not satisfied with her performance. She recalled Sang Shuwan's confident look on the stage, and a spirit of not admitting defeat surged in her heart. "Sang Shuwan, wait, I will definitely surpass you." She whispered, her tone full of determination.

In the following days, Sang Jiuyue lived a life of strict self-discipline. Every day before dawn, she got up to relax her facial muscles and practice expression, and made various expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in front of the mirror, striving to make each expression natural and contagious. After breakfast, she would spend several hours practicing catwalk, laying a long carpet in the practice room to simulate the catwalk scene, walking over and over again, correcting her pace, posture and body language.

After a quick lunch, Sang Jiuyue devoted herself to in-depth study of acting. She carefully studied classic film and television works, analyzed the expression management and emotional expression of actors in different scenes, and then imitated their performances, and combined her own understanding to innovate. In order to better exercise her stage performance, she also signed up for some small performance activities, and gave her all regardless of the size of the role.

In a small drama performance, Sang Jiuyue played a female character with a complex inner world. She made full use of the expression management and body language skills she learned during this period, and showed the emotional changes of the character very well through delicate expression changes and tense body movements. After the performance, there was warm applause from the audience. Many audiences were moved by her performance, which encouraged Sang Jiuyue.

"It seems that my efforts have not been in vain. As long as I continue to persevere, I will definitely become stronger." Sang Jiuyue thought excitedly in the backstage. However, she was not satisfied with this. In her heart, only surpassing Sang Shuwan could be considered a real success.

As time went by, Sang Jiuyue's acting skills and stage performance improved greatly. She began to frequently receive invitations for important works, and her popularity in the entertainment industry gradually increased. Whenever she saw her name and works appear in major media, Sang Jiuyue would think of her goal - to surpass Sang Shuwan.

"It will be soon. I'm getting closer and closer to you, Sang Shuwan. When I stand at the top, you will know that I am the king of this entertainment industry." Sang Jiuyue looked at the news about Sang Shuwan on his mobile phone, his eyes full of fighting spirit and ambition, and he secretly vowed to achieve his goal.

She thought she was good enough, so she carefully selected an influential fashion event and decided to officially announce her return and transformation on this stage. For this appearance, Sang Jiuyue started preparing a few weeks in advance, personally checking every detail from the customization of the dress to the design of the makeup and hairstyle.

On the night of the event, Sang Jiuyue wore a gorgeous red floor-length dress. The slim cut perfectly outlined her body curves. The bright crystals inlaid on the hem of the dress sparkled brightly under the lights, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her slender and elegant neck. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of charm. Her makeup was exquisite and grand, her deep eyes revealed confidence and determination, and her flaming red lips showed her powerful aura. (End of this chapter)
