I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

In the air-conditioned room, Su Jian's long hair fell onto the bed, her shoulders, and her arms. She supported herself with her elbows on the bed and held the script that Ye Xing had given her in her hands.

In the soft moonlight, her cleavage was faintly visible, like a wormhole tunnel.

Su Jian also felt that her clothes were a bit too loose—to be precise, her thing was too big, and over time it had loosened the clothes—but since she was alone in the room now, she didn't care about that.

Wearing ice silk stockings, she was intently flipping through the script in her hands.

This was the first time I had ever received a script, and the first time I had ever seen what a script looked like.

On the first page, Ye Xing had already marked what role he was going to audition for and which pages of the script contained his scenes, saving a lot of time.

Su Jian spent an hour quickly reading through her part, and her brows furrowed in frustration.

"How come she's a vicious and simp female supporting character?"

The script tells the story of an unprecedented great battle between the immortal realm and the demon realm three thousand years ago. Humanity is in grave danger and has only three months to save the world from disaster.

At this very moment, the protagonist, who is also the savior, embarks on a journey to find a way to reconcile the immortals and demons, and along the way begins a heart-wrenching love story...

That being said, the majority of the script revolves around romance. The part about the world ending in three months seems rather irrelevant...

"Perhaps this is what it means to promote culture."

The ability to turn any movie or TV series into a romance drama is a unique characteristic and essence of the genre.

However, this has nothing to do with me. For a newcomer like myself, it's already a great honor to have a TV series to film. I can't afford to be picky.

Su Jian flipped the script back to the scene where she first appeared.

The character who gets the interview opportunity is named Li Shui'er. She is the daughter of the Sea King, and is naturally willful, hateful, and vicious. She likes to toy with others.

In short...

"This is a vicious, manipulative female villain!"

Just from reading the script, Su Jian herself was already itching to get her teeth clenched, thinking that Li Shui'er would definitely be scolded mercilessly by the audience.

If any audience member gets too caught up in the drama, will they stab me?

Oh my god... that would be a huge loss! After all, there are quite a few mentally ill people these days.

"but……"

Glancing at her hands and feet, Su Jian immediately shuddered.

"Sigh! Do I have the right to refuse? Besides... filming a TV series should pay quite a bit, right?"

Making money is too slow now. I don't know when I'll be able to pay off the 340 million to redeem Su Wei and myself.

I must seize every opportunity and every job!

"The news says that some celebrities earn millions a day... I may be a newcomer, but I have some popularity, so I should be making several thousand or tens of thousands a day, right?"

The thought of money instantly dispelled my frustration and disgust.

The scheming, manipulative character in the script no longer made Su Jian feel embarrassed or awkward; instead, she eagerly picked up the script as if it were a treasure.

Even if I want this role, I still have to go through an audition, and it's uncertain who will get it.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask Ye Xing when his interview is!" Su Jian slapped her forehead and quickly picked up her phone.

[Brother Ye Xing, when is the interview?] Anyway, this guy always tells me to be more like a girl, so I just "annoy" him.

[Interview the day after tomorrow] Ye Xing remained unmoved.

"The day after tomorrow? That means I only have tonight... and tomorrow to memorize my lines? This... is too fast!"

"Brother! Isn't this a bit too rushed? I'm afraid I won't be able to remember my lines!"

[This was arranged by the production team. Also, you finally realize you're not very bright?]

"Huh?" This kid is insulting me indirectly?

No! This is an open insult!?

Su Jian swallowed her anger, and Ye Xing sent another message: "For the interview, you don't need to memorize all the lines. Just pick a section and perform it during the interview."

But... I've never acted before!

He had no acting experience whatsoever, and no skill in delivering lines whatsoever.

The thought of her job interview the day after tomorrow made Su Jian feel like she was about to be publicly executed, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead.

I'm afraid I'll lose face then!

"It's just an idol drama, and these kinds of dramas don't require any acting skills at all. The actors can act however they want, and the audience can just watch however they want," Ye Xing replied casually. "By the way, your salary for this drama is 500,000."

"Five hundred thousand!!!"

Suddenly, he stood up, and the thing on his chest bounced around a couple of times.

Su Jian's eyes widened as she checked the number again.

Wow! Even though I knew the pay wouldn't be low, I was still excited when I saw 500,000.

It's worth noting that this character doesn't have much screen time; the script only contains a few thousand words in total, probably no more than ten episodes.

Ten episodes for 500,000?

"The entertainment industry is indeed extremely profitable! No wonder that wicked capitalist Lin Jinglong wanted to..."

But then I thought about it again, and those "big stars" earn millions a day, so my 500,000 seems like nothing at all.

But this is not just about 500,000. It means that as long as I act more, play the lead role, and play roles with more lines and screen time, I can earn several million a day. Then, wouldn't it be just around the corner to pay back 340 million?

It was precisely because Su Jian thought of this that she was so excited and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Understood!" She smiled excitedly, then added, "Goodnight, Brother Ye Xing!"

……

"Good night?"

Upon seeing the two unexpected words on the screen, the icy face suddenly froze, then revealed a strange, confused, and stiff smile.

Goodnight.

This brat...

I lay quietly in bed, covering my face with the half-finished copy of "The Message" that I was reading next to me.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xing suddenly sat up again and turned on the computer next to the drawer.

……

"Brother Xingruo, if I go to the Immortal Realm with you, will Sister Yingmei be jealous?"

"Brother Xingruo, my feet hurt so much~ Can you carry me? You're a great hero, you can't just leave me to die, right? Waaaaah~"

"Brother Xingruo, your back is so warm~ Has Sister Yingmei been carried by you like this before? Would it be bad if she saw me? Why don't you put me down?"

"Brother Xingruo... ugh—"

I couldn't stand it anymore after memorizing half of the lines.

Su Jian vomited into the toilet, then stood up with a speechless expression.

"What kind of plot and dialogue is this?!"

Do I really want to play a role that even I can't stand and find disgusting?

But... they gave so much!!!

Thinking about the 500,000 yuan salary and the other filming opportunities that might come with acting, I was very happy.

Su Jian gritted her teeth, casually slung the script behind her back again, and paced around the room while reciting her lines.

"Brother Xingruo, why is Sister Yue'er angry?"

"Brother Ye Xing, Yue'er... eh?"

Chapter 97, Section 50: The Script

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Su Jian paused and recalled the lines she had just recited.

"Xingruo... Ye Xing... Damn it!"

Suddenly, she raised the script and slapped it on her head, only then realizing why she felt something was wrong.

I actually mispronounced the character Xingruo as Ye Xing?

"How did we suddenly start thinking about that guy? It's unbelievable!"

It must be because this guy appears in front of me every day, and I've been deliberately calling him "Brother Ye Xing" to annoy him lately, so when I was memorizing my lines, it just slipped out...

"Don't make any mistakes during the interview!"

If someone suddenly says "Brother Ye Xing" during an interview, I'd probably just disappear from this earth.

"Time waits for no one, we'd better hurry up and memorize our lines!"

Fortunately, I only needed to perform a small part of it during the interview.

Su Jian chose a scene that was relatively easy to act out and kept imprinting the lines into her mind. In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to her school days and was filled with the fear of having to memorize texts every day when she got home.

“Brother Xingruo, you…”

Ding!

"Ok?"

Why is this so annoying? Can't a person even memorize their lines in a good way?

When someone suddenly approached her, Su Jian couldn't help but frown.

She opened her phone and was surprised to see a message from Jiang Longchen: "Happy Holidays!"

"festival?"

Is today... a holiday?

Su Jian glanced at the calendar on the wall, puzzled. It said Qingming Festival.
