Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 465: Chapter 462: Best Actress 29

She smiled and asked the people in front of her, ”Why can everyone else have an ordinary life, and I cannot? I just want a home where I’m not beaten or scolded, where I don’t have to watch my parents fight in fear. I just want a warm, argument-free home. Why is that not possible? If my parents can’t provide it, I’ll have my own children and be my own mom to create a home. Why can’t I do that? Are my demands really so extravagant?”

The confusion on the girl’s face was genuine. She truly didn’t understand. She didn’t ask to be a millionaire, nor to be breathtakingly beautiful, only for a warm, ordinary, and even if not wealthy, a home. Why was it so difficult?

No one could answer the girl’s questions. Although many of her values were incorrect, it wasn’t her fault. Without waiting for an answer, and not caring for one, she looked up at the sky and said with a smile, ”I am about to be liberated; nothing matters anymore.”

With the last lingering sound, the girl unhesitatingly took a leap. The dress she wore fluttered like a butterfly as she fell to the ground, her face deathly calm, clearly without any longing for life.

Meng Meiqi’s heart had been tightly clenched ever since the girl’s child fell ill. As she watched the girl’s most heart-wrenching scene of jumping off a building, her eyes heated up and she couldn’t help but shed tears for this rebellious girl who only longed for the most ordinary warmth.

This initially unlikable female lead completely came to life under Ning Shuangshuang’s portrayal. Growing up amidst domestic violence, with a skewed temperament and worldview, yet this girl’s heart, no matter how twisted, yearned for warmth. However, fate had doomed her life to tragedy from the start.

Meng Meiqi cried uncontrollably, and her husband, crying and laughing, tried to comfort her, but he couldn’t console the incessantly crying Meng Meiqi.

Meng Meiqi’s husband even heard the faint cries of many girls and the helpless voices of boyfriends comforting them coming from the seats around them. The girls mumbled how the female lead could be so miserable, so heartbreaking, hoping someone could give her a warm home.

Fortunately, at this moment, the end credits finished, and the easter egg began. The girl didn’t die, her parents repented, and together with her boyfriend, they returned to school with her parents’ support, then became white-collar workers, got married, and had children, ending in a big happy reunion.

Meng Meiqi’s husband quickly urged her to watch the movie’s easter egg, but unfortunately, Meng Meiqi still gasped through her tears, saying, ”These, hiccup, are all deceitful. The front part is the real ending. This happy ending easter egg is just for those who don’t like tragedies. It’s all fake, hiccup, fake.”

After crying uncontrollably in the cinema, once she got home, Meng Meiqi went online and started writing a lengthy movie review. In the review, she elaborated on the harms of domestic violence, praised Li Bo’an’s yet another soul-stirring masterpiece, and shared her own silly experience of crying like a fool in the cinema.

Of course, Meng Meiqi couldn’t help but brag about her idol Ning Shuangshuang’s superb acting skills, portraying both a strong female general and a desperate girl filled with despair. She was truly a versatile queen, and fanning her was one of the best decisions of her life.

Just as Meng Meiqi was affected, this drama touched countless people. Rarely did anyone who watched it not praise it. The entire movie had an excellent reputation, and although the box office wasn’t as expected, surpassing pure commercial films, it greatly outperformed other films of the same type released at the same time, earning Ning Shuangshuang a small unexpected profit.

Of course, how much money it made wasn’t the important part; the most significant thing was that this drama successfully helped Ning Shuangshuang break free from the shackles of the role of Qin Shuangshuang, widening her career path all at once.

What was most surprising was that Ning Shuangshuang’s popularity did not decline as she and Jin An anticipated, dropping to the third tier. Now, Ning Shuangshuang should be considered a solid second-tier star, and as a result of this drama, she gained a substantial fan base. This was also the greatest reward Ning Shuangshuang received from filming this drama.

Having completed two series in a row, Ning Shuangshuang’s career path has broadened and been recognized. The most obvious difference is that now directors directly send scripts and offer roles or let Ning Shuangshuang choose roles without the need for Jin An to use his resources, inviting Ning Shuangshuang to star in their films or TV series.

However, even though scripts are pouring in nowadays, this time Jin An didn’t have Ning Shuangshuang take the scripts and start filming but instead got Ning Shuangshuang on a reality show, the Survival Game! Of course, before signing up for this reality show, Jin An had seriously consulted Ning Shuangshuang for her opinion.

The Survival Game can be said to be the most popular reality show in terms of viewership, and it’s the show that celebrity guests fear the most. The reason being is simple; this show is just too exhausting, and the average person can’t handle this level of hardship!

Each episode picks seven stars, then sends them to an uninhabited mountain. The crew only provides each star with one bottle of clean drinking water and two 100-gram nutritional supplements daily. These only meet the body’s needs, ensuring you don’t starve to death or get sick from hunger, but are far from filling. The stars must rely entirely on themselves to complete a half-month survival game in such an environment.

A half month! Not three days! Not seven days! It’s a half month! When Ning Shuangshuang first saw the schedule, she thought she was seeing things wrong. Without some wilderness survival skills, participants might go crazy with hunger after the show.

It’s said that every star who participates in this show inevitably loses weight drastically and develops a huge appetite, becoming less picky about food. For this reason, Survival Game is jokingly called a weight-loss boot camp by viewers, claiming that no matter how fat a person is, they will definitely lose weight after one episode!

Most importantly, what’s different from other variety reality shows is that Survival Game is also a live broadcast. Cameras follow the stars comprehensively without any dead angles. Except for personal matters or changing clothes, the participating stars are always on camera.

Viewers with time can watch the stars’ performances all day long. Of course, impatient viewers who don’t like watching live can wait for the program’s team to edit and release a condensed version.

Jin An has always been strict about participating in variety shows. Programs that, although they can gain popularity, mock guests are strictly prohibited for Ning Shuangshuang. According to Jin An, Ning Shuangshuang is destined to become a film queen. You don’t see any film queens participating in prank variety shows.
