Chapter 464 - 461: Best Actress 28
As a film critic, Meng Meiqi can watch any kind of movie or TV drama. Sometimes, she inevitably finds herself repulsed, but occasionally, she’ll stumble upon something that doesn’t seem appealing at first yet ends up loving deeply.
Take this movie for instance; originally, Meng Meiqi disliked films with such a dark tone. Especially when Ning Shuangshuang appeared, dressed like a rebellious youth, her hair dyed like a colorful feather duster, with dramatic makeup, roaring by on a motorcycle!
The shocking entrance left Meng Meiqi stunned for quite a while, as Ning Shuangshuang’s performance was starkly different from the heroic female general who rallies troops on the battlefield against the barbarians, full of responsibility and strategical skills! For a moment, she even considered withdrawing her fan support.
However, Meng Meiqi gritted her teeth and continued watching; she was Ning Shuangshuang’s steadfast fan, how could she be so unsteady? Even if Ning Shuangshuang ruined her former perfect image in Meng Meiqi’s mind, she’d continue to be a dedicated fan, biting down her dissatisfaction.
Later, Meng Meiqi almost wept as she watched Ning Shuangshuang’s character on screen, spewing profanity and fooling around with men, dating underage, brandishing a machete to join in gang fights, severely hurting others and getting imprisoned by the police, yet being released due to her underage status.
The character was utterly corrupt, and Ning Shuangshuang’s acting breathed life into her, but no matter how good her performance was, it couldn’t soothe Meng Meiqi’s broken heart; she simply felt this was not the upright idol Ning Shuangshuang she once admired!
Just watching this morally bankrupt girl on screen made people feel a surge of resentment piling up inside, evoking the urge to jump in and give her a good beating!
But the scene shifted shortly after, showing the girl, who was just released from jail, walk down the street carefree, yet upon seeing a couple out with their child, she followed them absent-mindedly, trailing them all the way back home.
At night, the girl sat on the roadside, staring at the warmth emanating from the family’s window, watching the shadows of the three snuggling together, she hugged her knees and bowed her head, slowly sinking into her memories.
The shot transitioned to a young girl huddling in fear at the foot of a bed, in front, were her parents, fighting both verbally and physically, the girl covered her ears and closed her eyes, pretending to see nothing, hoping the intimidating quarrels and abusive exchanges between her parents would end quickly.
