WNSYM Chapter 58.4

Chapter 58.4 - Anxiety and more anxiety

Tang Xiao: …..

“Let me tell you two bad things. Which one do you want to hear first?” Chief Ning’s tone sounded very languid.

Tang Xiao asked in answer, “If they’re both bad news, what’s the difference in hearing one over the other first?”

“There is a difference. One will make you anxious, the other will make you more anxious.”

Tang Xiao: …..

“The organisers of the Orchid Awards have already contacted me. Su Bai will win the best actress award and you’ve been nominated for the best supporting actress award.”

One was winning an award, one was only being nominated.

Tang Xiao felt like this news, indeed, made her anxious.

Chief Ning had already supported her with all his might.

She had the best script, the best crew, the best costume, everything was the best but she still couldn’t reach the height of Su Bai.

Su Bai was like this huge mountain in front of her.

Whatever she acted in, that was what got popular.

If she was nominated for anything, that’s what she won.

Even the film was bad, there’d still be professional critics who said that her acting was fantastic.

Then there were the rumours with Mu Cheng.

Even Tang Xiao felt like Su Bai and Mu Cheng should be together, they were a good match.

“Who’s going to win the best supporting actress?”

Chief Ning said a name and instantly, Tang Xiao felt like she had lost well.

Losing to a popular and well-known, there was no shame in that.

“Qiao Yijing’s film, has been widely acclaimed. Your online votes were only slightly less than hers.”

“But speaking the truth, I feel like this news should make you excited. At least even after it was exposed that you swear at people in games, and had rumours with Mu Cheng, online netizens are still willing to vote for you. This means that you really acted well in that film. So you’ve started to take your first steps.” Chief Ning comforted her.

“And when you hear the next news, you’ll feel like that was actually good news.”

“What’s the next news?”

Chief Ning spoke calmly, “It’s nothing really but I cancelled your card. Don’t even think about recharging money in-game. If you want you phone to be cancelled and for Mu Cheng to not be able to contact you, you can use your phone bill to recharge your game too.”

Tang Xiao couldn’t help but explode, “F***, what did I wrong this time? Wasn’t it just putting a couple hundred in game! I don’t even recharge that much!”

Chief Ning: “This time, you didn’t do anything wrong. But when I heard you only got a nomination at the Orchid Awards, it made me feel too anxious so I could only find something that would make you even more anxious.”

Tang Xiao: …..

She’d already been killed by Chief Ning’s weird logic.

Anxious?

She’d already taken that word back!

She wasn’t anxious!

She wasn’t anxious at all!

“Have you chosen a script out of the ones that I gave you last time?”

Once he mentioned this, Tang Xiao suddenly remembered, “I’ve chosen one. I want to do that historical one ‘Long and Silent Night’ as well as that web drama, ‘the Third Gender’.”

Chief Ning froze, “Long and Silent Night’, I have no problems with because it’s a big director’s work. So even though if you just do a supporting role, you’ll still look good. But that ‘the Third Gender’ drama, have you thought it through? It’s only a webdrama and it’s budget is small. So even if you’re the female lead, the audience might not actually buy into it.”

Tang Xiao gave him a very firm answer.

The Third Gender was about a cold goddess student from the music stream, switching bodies with a flirty playboy. What happens afterwards is fun.

Even though the market for a webdrama was big, it still wasn’t as popular as actually dramas.

Furthermore, the biggest fans of webdramas were students and part-time workers.

Chief Ning hung up and went to contact the respective directors.

And Tang Xiao, very excitedly rushed to her game to try her hand at the wing lottery.

In Spirit Road, the people who had wings, were quite a lot.

The producers purposely opened up the Sky map and Tang Xiao already couldn’t wait to be cocky with her new wings.

But after half an hour, she’d already wasted all of her money and don’t mention wings, she didn’t even win a single feather.

[Now] Wind blows pants: My God, if you’re that stupid, don’t even say wings, you probably can’t even win a single feather.

[Now] King calls me: …….

Chief Ning’s dumb logic was actually right.

To make something less worrisome for you, you have to find something even more worrisome, something even more anxious.

Tang Xiao had already stopped being anxious for her credit card, she was anxious for her wings.

The Third Gender is indeed a gender-swapping drama with Tang Xiao finally getting a free license to act like Tang poem in real life!!!

Long and Silent Night will be steamy~
