Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 26
Chapter 26
After a night of torment, Su Tuantuan arrived at the training camp on Saturday morning, looking mentally exhausted.
Both Bai Xue and Jiang Zhizhi were performing today. She kept yawning backstage. When the camera cut to her, she always looked sleepy.
: “Did Su Tuantuan go cow-tipping last night? She’s yawned over a dozen times just sitting there.”
: “Poor kid is so tired. They probably went to karaoke after the event last night. I saw the pictures Sun Qiushuang posted, hahaha.”
Netizens discussed animatedly. Su Tuantuan’s head bobbed like a chick pecking rice, and after a short while, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Mo Xian, who was watching the live stream: “…”
Her finger paused. She put down the tablet, picked up her phone, and switched to her secondary account, finding that the account had posted an update last night.
Little Light Fluff: “Damn home-wrecker, I’ll sacrifice you to the heavens!”
The accompanying image was a fist.
Mo Xian was speechless. Home-wrecker, was she calling her that?
She had indeed been very reckless last night and had barely slept.
Watching the rapidly scrolling comments, she tried to message Su Tuantuan, typing a lot of words, but after thinking it over, she didn’t send it.
Tuantuan didn’t like her interference.
Never mind.
She deleted the words one by one.
She returned to watching the live stream.
The third round of the competition was more intense than the second. Jiang Zhizhi was at the bottom this round, nearly eliminated.
If her teammate hadn’t made a noticeable mistake, it would have been her leaving this time.
Jiang Zhizhi cried again on stage after the results were announced.
Without Su Tuantuan’s guidance, her performance quality was visibly not as good as the last time, but the instructors felt she had great plasticity, and it would be a pity to eliminate her just like that. They decided to keep her for further observation.
What surprised Su Tuantuan was Bai Xue.
After that one session of guidance, Bai Xue seemed to have had a breakthrough, and her performance result ranked in the top five overall.
With more training, she could definitely break into the top three.
The instructors were very satisfied with Bai Xue’s progress.
Su Tuantuan’s performance was scheduled for Sunday as usual.
This time, she played a girl who was abducted, sold, and then returned to her birth family.
The four instructors played her adoptive mother, her biological mother, a police officer, and a relative, respectively.
This performance was scheduled as the first act on Sunday.
It was purely a showstopper.
When Xiao Man, played by Su Tuantuan, first saw her biological mother, her eyes were full of avoidance, afraid to look directly. The mother, seeing her long-lost daughter, held her and wept bitterly, constantly calling her pet name.
Xiao Man was somewhat fearful, her eyes helplessly looking toward her adoptive mother, but because of the unbreakable bond of blood, she felt sorry for her birth mother.
The police explained, “She was abducted by traffickers, but the family in the middle abandoned her. Xiao Man wandered for several months until she reached the orphanage, where she was adopted by Ms. Li…”
Tears streamed down the biological mother’s face.
The adoptive mother, however, held back her emotions, looking at Xiao Man. She didn’t dare to look for too long and lowered her gaze.
When Xiao Man’s hand reached out to the adoptive mother, the adoptive mother turned her head away, pretending not to see. She spoke in a strained voice, trying not to lose control. “Go with her. She is your mother!”
Xiao Man was no longer a child. She knew how hard her biological mother had searched for her.
But her adoptive mother had treated her well, taking care of her when she was sick and keeping her company in her free time.
If her adoptive mother had bought her from the trafficker, she might have felt some hatred.
But the adoptive mother had not.
Xiao Man had grown up, and all her childishness had faded.
She packed her things, full of reluctance. When the small bundle was packed, she left with her biological mother, turning back every few steps.
The adoptive mother turned her back, daring not to look at her.
She only wept secretly.
When Xiao Man and her biological mother left, the stage went dark. The adoptive mother stood in the darkness, covering her face and sobbing.
Just then, Xiao Man’s voice was heard from a distance.
“Mom!”
The adoptive mother thought she had misheard. Her sobbing gradually stopped. When she turned around, it was Xiao Man running back with her bundle, throwing herself into her arms.
“Mom…”
Xiao Man closed her eyes, leaning into her embrace, tears streaming down her face. “Mom…”
The audience was weeping.
Although the script was an adaptation, the four instructors all provided different suggestions, and it was adapted based on their collective input.
During the initial rehearsal, Pu Ke, who was a mother herself, was inconsolable.
Having experienced motherhood, she naturally knew what it felt like to lose a daughter.
In that kind of helplessness and despair, she had to repeatedly tell herself not to give up, never to let go of any thread of hope.
Upon finding her daughter, the unfamiliar and bewildered look in her daughter’s eyes was enough to cause unbearable heartache.
Not to mention the final crying scene.
It was a complete emotional eruption.
This round started with a bang.
Netizens were already going wild.
: “They’re going this big right at the start today? Meng Han is too amazing. She deserves all her numerous accolades!”
: “The instructors performed so well. How are the rest supposed to compete? The contrast is too strong.”
: “Su Tuantuan has always been underestimated! Her performance today is absolutely the highlight!”
The comments section was going crazy, and this performance quickly spread across the internet.
After her performance, Su Tuantuan stood with the four instructors. The host asked if she was nervous collaborating with the four instructors.
Su Tuantuan spoke candidly, her voice still slightly nasal. “I was a little, but more than that, I feel genuinely happy, because few people are as lucky as I am to be able to collaborate with four such influential instructors at the same time.”
She truly respected these four instructors.
When rehearsing with them, the four instructors had absolutely no arguments over screentime.
Whoever was more suited to the role performed it.
If someone’s emotional expression was off, others would point it out. They would then discuss and analyze together, finally deciding on the best version.
How to describe this feeling?
Su Tuantuan had acted in many plays and won numerous awards in the real world.
But she rarely saw such dedication to acting.
This was truly living for acting.
Their entire lives were dedicated to perfecting this one thing: acting.
How could she not admire people like this?
After regaining her composure, Meng Han praised her. “Little Tuan is a very motivated and talented actor. Her acting skills are obvious to everyone. I don’t know why such a shining star was not discovered before, but—”
She patted Su Tuantuan’s shoulder. “I ask all the directors to look at her. The acting industry needs to pass on the torch, maintain its integrity, and constantly overcome difficulties on the path of performance, bringing more excellent young actors to the public.”
Meng Han bowed deeply to the camera. “Thank you, everyone.”
Many people in the audience were wiping away tears.
: “Meng Han made me cry. Wuwuwu. She has dedicated this life to nurturing excellent actors.”
: “My blood is boiling. I’m so glad to have such a positive energy in the entertainment industry!”
: “Directors, please look at Su Tuantuan!”
Su Tuantuan was also moved by Meng Han’s words.
She knew that Meng Han’s trust in her was unrelated to anything else.
It was purely due to that passion.
