Chapter 420 Character Prototypes
In the living room, Zhen Zhen curled up on the sofa.
With trembling hands, she took the warm water that Da Dou handed her.
The water in the glass swayed, like her heart.
Zhen Zhen drank the warm water sip by sip, and her body gradually warmed up...
It took her a long time to calm down.
DouDou used the excuse of tidying up the sunroom to investigate.
She picked up the script that Zhen Zhen had dropped on the ground.
After flipping through just two pages, Da Dou's pupils constricted, his heart suddenly raced, and it pounded against his chest.
This isn't a script; it's practically a reflection of Zhen Zhen's childhood experiences.
Let Sister Zhenzhen play a character who was neglected by her family and molested by her father's friend from childhood, and undergoes a transformation.
This isn't work, this is going to kill Zhenzhen!
No wonder Sister Zhenzhen reacted so strongly.
Having figured everything out, Doudou returned to the living room, her face full of anger, and she stood up for Zhenzhen.
“Sachiko, the screenwriter, must know something about my sister to write such a script. She even said it was tailor-made for us. I think she is just trying to hurt us.”
The words from the script are deeply etched in my mind, and I can't shake them off.
Zhen Zhen tried her best not to think about the script.
Hearing what DouDou said, she wrapped her woolen blanket tighter around herself.
The blanket was a New Year's gift from Hualan, as if the little flower was with her.
Only Da Dou, Qiang Ge, and Xiao Laoban knew about the molestation she had suffered.
Based on my past interactions with Sachiko, she seems like the kind of person who would pry into other people's privacy or do anything to harm them, given her social anxiety and solitary nature.
"Probably not."
"Then why does she insist on having you play the female lead, and the only lead role at that?"
As Dou recalled the character introductions and lines from the script, goosebumps immediately appeared all over her arms.
It's so bad that just reading the lines makes you feel physically uncomfortable.
DouDou believes that no matter how much information she collects or how many people she interviews, someone who hasn't experienced it herself cannot write such chilling plots and lines.
Zhen Zhen was stumped by Da Dou's question, "I don't know either."
"No, sis, we can't do this script. I'll call Brother Qiang right now."
Zhenzhen suddenly became curious about Xingzi's original intention in creating this script.
"Wait, don't tell Brother Qiang yet." She stopped Da Dou. "I can quit acting, but I need to know what Sister Xingzi thinks. You should contact Sister Xingzi and arrange a time to meet."
She always felt uneasy if she didn't understand the situation clearly.
"Sister~" DouDou was worried that Zhenzhen would get hurt, and wanted to say a few more words of advice.
"I've recovered, don't worry. Go call Sachiko."
Soybean was unwilling, but had no choice but to obey, "Okay."
Even when he was very angry, DouDou still spoke politely when the call connected.
"Hello, Ms. Sachiko, I'm Zhenzhen's assistant, Dadou."
"Hello, Zhenzhen, have you read the script? I've been waiting for your news."
The other person's voice was gentle and soft, and Da Dou couldn't tell if there was any other meaning behind it, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I've read the script. Sister Zhenzhen would like to meet with you. When would be a convenient time for you? Let's arrange a time as soon as possible."
"Now is convenient, I'll come find you."
DouDou's eyes darkened, and he sneered inwardly.
It's no wonder they're so eager to see Sister Zhenzhen; there must be some problems.
"Zhenzhen injured her foot and couldn't go out, so she asked Teacher Xingzi to come to her house."
Soybean's words were full of polite formalities, but there was not a trace of respect for the screenwriter in her tone.
Send me your location, and I'll head out now.
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Doudou secretly vowed in her heart that if Xingzi dared to hurt Zhenzhen, she would never do it again.
She spent money to buy dirt on Sachiko, ruining Sachiko's reputation so that she could never work as a screenwriter again.
No one can have a good time.
"Sister, she's leaving for home now."
Zhen Zhen nodded, "Since we have guests coming, you should make preparations and not neglect their etiquette."
DouDou was worried about ZhenZhen. "Sister, just call me if you need anything."
Sachiko arrived quickly and sat opposite Zhenzhen with a solemn expression.
Seeing the bandage wrapped around Zhen Zhen's ankle, she had no interest in caring about the other's injury.
Zhenzhen couldn't figure out Xingzi's thoughts for a moment, so the two just sat there without either of them speaking first.
The tense atmosphere was broken when DouDou brought over a cup of freshly brewed black tea.
"Teacher Xingzi, Sister Zhenzhen, you two chat. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
Zhen Zhen raised her hand and warmly invited, "Sister Xingzi, please."
Sachiko took a small sip, her mind not on drinking the tea.
She rubbed her hands together, as if she had made a huge decision.
"Zhen Zhen, what do you think of the script?"
"I want to meet Sachiko-nee because I want to know what inspires your creative work?"
Zhen Zhen cautiously probed.
On the one hand, she had reservations, worried that the other party might really be trying to get something from her indirectly, just as Da Dou had said.
On the other hand, she was worried that her intuition was right, and she didn't want to have a falling out with the screenwriter.
"That's not my creation."
Zhen Zhen's eyes darkened.
"The prototype for this script... is me."
As Sachiko finished speaking, tears the size of pearls suddenly slid down her cheeks.
Zhenzhen's heart suddenly clenched.
She pulled out a tissue and handed it to Sachiko.
Zhenzhen wanted to hug Xingzi, but her leg was injured and she couldn't move.
The moment the words left her mouth, Sachiko seemed to find an outlet for her emotions, and she burst into uncontrollable sobs.
The low sobs turned into loud wailing.
Bean, hiding in the shadows, heard everything Sachiko said.
Shocked, she covered her mouth tightly.
The fewer people who know about other people's bad deeds, the better.
Even if you hear it, you should keep it to yourself to avoid getting into trouble.
Time passed by, and the midday sun streamed into the living room.
Perhaps it was the warm sunshine, or perhaps it was Zhenzhen's waiting, that gave Xingzi the courage to speak again.
"I've been working on this script on and off for over five years. I couldn't find a suitable actor until you came along. You're always smiling, but I can always sense the loneliness, coldness, and helplessness behind that smile. You're clearly an adult, but when I look at you, I always feel like you're still a ten-year-old child..."
The more soybeans listened from the shadows, the more chills ran down their spines.
As expected of Ms. Sachiko, who is a writer, she made her feel like she was watching a horror movie with just a few words.
"The script isn't difficult to film, but it demands extremely high levels of acting skills and mental fortitude from the actors. If you refuse, I understand. But I still hope you can take on this script; I don't want it to be a disaster."
I don't want to rot away myself, Sachiko ventriloquizes.
Only she knows how many notebooks she soaked with tears during her five years of writing.
She thought that once the script was printed out, she would never cry again.
But when I saw Zhen Zhen just now, feelings of humiliation, fear, and helplessness instantly welled up in my heart.
Zhen Zhen didn't say whether she would accept or not. "I also want to know, Sister Xingzi, why did you choose to create this script based on yourself?"
“I was born in a rural area, and even after more than 20 years, the molestation has never stopped. In fact, due to the increase in left-behind children, the number of people being molested is increasing. Parents' attitudes are making it impossible for more and more girls to live normal lives. Meanwhile, the perpetrators are becoming bolder and bolder. I want to tell everyone through this film that we are not at fault, and we should bravely protect ourselves. Girls should not be trapped for life just because they feel ashamed to say it out loud. We should live brightly and passionately.”
