Chapter 30. The future queen of acting
'Ah, I finally did it.'
Ren said as he stretched his hands and glanced at the think envelope in front of him.
The envelope contained the Top star Entertainment manual, from interview knacks to strategies for handling unexpected questions.
It even had some advices by a former stars and some emcees.
Overall, it had formed a thick bundle the had left Ren into misery.
He was prepping those documents because of the interview he had tomorrow.
In his previous life, Ren never had given an interview, he had watched several of them and watching was a complete different thing.
In a real interview, he didn't have the time to mess around, so he had to be fully prepared for it.
Thankfully, Jiang Wan had already prepared the manual for him. Although it was tiring to remember it, he will at least not mess up his interview tomorrow.
'It's already night.'
Ren thought as he glanced outside the window, the sun was long gone and there was only darkness outside.
Seeing this, Ren decided to go home. He picked up his phone and contacted White bear.
He told him to prepare the car and after a while, a reply came from him.
[Ren, I will be there in around 20 minutes. I am currently with some writers and producers.]
Ren smiled reading them. He was glad that White bear was diligent in his work.
It was beneficial for him. Although, he was happy about that, he was wondering about what to do in those 20 minutes.
He didn't wanted to stay in the room as he was in it for 2 to 3 hours already. He would feel cramped if he stayed there any longer.
'How about I roam the company.'
Ren was new in the company and didn't knew much about its structure. So, he thought of roaming it.
At least, it was better than sitting in this cramped room.
With this thought, Ren stood up and started walking around the company.
The company was mostly empty as all the trainees had already finished their practices and returned to their dorms.
There were occasionally some managers or employees passing by, but that was all.
He was a little disappointed as he wanted to see some celebrities but it was still okay.
As he was walking by, he suddenly heard a voice.
"No, plea-please, don't…..leave me."
The voice was of a female and she was probably sobbing.
'Did someone crying?'
Ren moved towards the source of voice while thinking like that. As he came close, the voices started getting louder.
"I thought….that, you…you love me."
"If you lea-leave me, whh…what will happen to the child….in, in my stomach."
Ren steps halted when he heard that. It looks like the woman who was crying was pregnant with someone's child. He didn't wanted to get involved with those matters.
That's why, he was about to turn back but he stopped when he thought that he had only heard the woman's voice.
It looked like the woman crying was quarrelling with someone but he hadn't heard the man's voice. There was only the woman's voice.
He again started moving towards the voice when he thought that. He soon reached a dimly lit practice room.
When he opened the door, he noticed a girl saying those lines while quietly sobbing.
Ren thought that he was right when he saw that, there was only the girl in the room. There was no other person. It was not a quarrel but a girl practising her acting skills and Ren felt that her acting skills were good.
Although, Ren was in the room, the girl hasn't noticed him and was immersed in her act.
He did not want to disturb her, so he quietly watched her.
Watching her act, Ren grew more and more sure that the girl was great at acting. Her body movements were great and her expressions were flawless.
Her voice and speech were also clear. It was like she was born for acting.
As he watched her more closely, Ren suddenly found that she looked familiar to him.
He was not able to recall where he had seen her but she was familiar, he at least saw her somewhere.
'Was she an actress?'
Ren had that thought but he threw it away when he noticed her clothes. She was clearly wearing the uniform the trainees wore.
'So, where I had seen her?'
As Ren was pondering about her identity, the girl performance came to an end.
She wiped of her sweat and as she doing it, her eyes paused at Ren.
"Ah, Who?"
After finding him standing there, the girl asked warily. She was surprised to see a stranger standing there.
'It looks like she doesn't know me.'
Ren perceived that the girl doesn't know him based on her reaction. He was not disheartened by that, he can't expect everyone to know him.
"Um, actually, I just came here when I heard that voice. Your acting was very good."
Ren said as he looked towards the girl but the girl was still wary of her as she didn't answer to him and just silently wiped away her sweat and tears.
Ren could understand that, he didn't expect someone, especially a young girl to talk harmoniously with a stranger.....
'Wait!! Isn't she Xiao Rin!!!'
Ren felt like his world had come to a stop when he realised that the girl starding before her was the same actress who had conquered several hearts because of her beauty and skills.
Xiao Rin was one of those actress who had even acted in Hollywood films. Although she was not much successful in them, she had still acted in them.
She had first started her career when she was 20 years old with a drama. After that, she had acted in several movies and dramas, solidifying her image as the queen of acting.
Ren was also one of her fans. The reason he had not recognised her as first was because she saw looking way more younger.
She was known for her mature beauty but the girl in front of him could not be called a mature beauty.
Although she was breathtaking, she still looked like a high school at the best.
'Wait! As far as I remember, Xiao Rin had made her debut in 2025.'
It was 6 years before her debut. She was not the top actress currently but a trainee working hard for her debut.
Is she previously in Top star entertainment? Ren was confused about that, as far as he remember, she has not debut with Top star entertainment.
It can only mean that her contract was finished with Top star entertainment and she received success after she went to another agency but Ren had some doubts about it.
No matter what, she was the queen of acting, anybody can see her talent. Was the company sloppy that it didn't noticed her potential.
As Ren was pondering about that, he noticed Xiao Rin staring at him strangely.
'She is clearly wary of me.'
It would not be strange if she was wary of him. It was currently night and they were both alone in a room, they were also strangers. It was normal to be cautious of each other.
"Hello, my name is Xin Ren. I was surprised by your acting skills. You acted really well."
Ren said with an earnest smile. He didn't wanted the atmosphere to be more awkward.
It seems like it also worked as Xiao Rin also introduced herself after that.
"Hello, I am Xiao Rin, a trainee from the singing department"
'Ah, what! Singing department??'
For one moment, Ren felt that he has heard wrong. The Xiao Rin he knew from the future was an actress not a singer. She was also clearly acting before.
So, why was she from the singing department?
