Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 659 Because of those comments on the Internet

Wang Xinxin lowered her head with red eyes, obviously under a lot of pressure.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, I..." Wang Xinxin choked up and was speechless.

"Is it because of those comments on the Internet? Don't worry, those are all fake. The innocent will be innocent. I believe you." Director Li comforted.

"But...but I'm afraid that I won't perform well and will fail to live up to your and Lin Ke's expectations of me." Wang Xinxin raised her head and couldn't help but let the tears in her eyes flow.

"Silly girl, what are you afraid of? Just remember, you are the best. I believe you can play this role well." Director Li patted Wang Xinxin's shoulder gently and encouraged her.

"Xinxin, Director Li is right, you have to believe in yourself." Lin Ke also came over and said gently.

Wang Xinxin looked at Lin Ke, her eyes full of gratitude and dependence.

"Lin Ke, can you do me a favor?" Director Li suddenly said.

"What help?" Lin Ke asked.

"Xinxin's mood is not very stable right now. I'm worried that she will affect the progress of the filming. Can you take some time to counsel her?" Director Li said.

"No problem, leave it to me." Lin Ke agreed readily.

Director Li patted Lin Ke on the shoulder, then turned back to the monitor.

"Xinxin, let's go sit over there." Lin Ke pointed to a bench not far away.

Wang Xinxin nodded and followed Lin Ke.

The two sat down on the bench, and Lin Ke handed Wang Xinxin a bottle of water.

"Drink some water."

Wang Xinxin took the water, drank a few sips, and her emotions stabilized a little.

"Don't take those comments on the Internet to heart, they are all nonsense." Lin Ke said.

"But...but what they said were very unpleasant, and I..." Wang Xinxin's tears began to well up in her eyes again.

"I know, I know everything." Lin Ke gently put his arm around Wang Xinxin's shoulders, "But you have to remember that you came here for your dream. Don't give up your dream because of some insignificant people and things."

"Dream..." Wang Xinxin murmured to herself.

"Yes, dream! Do you still remember why you came to participate in this program? Isn't it to realize your dream of becoming an actor?" Lin Ke asked.

Wang Xinxin nodded.

"Then why do you want to give up now? Just because of some rumors? Have you forgotten your original determination?" Lin Ke continued to ask.

Wang Xinxin was silent.

"Xinxin, I know you are under a lot of pressure now, but you have to believe in yourself. You can definitely overcome these difficulties." Lin Ke encouraged.

"But...but I'm really scared..." Wang Xinxin's voice trembled.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Ke held Wang Xinxin's hand tightly, "I will always be with you, supporting you and encouraging you." "Lin Ke, I'm really tired. I feel like I can't hold on any longer." Wang Xinxin's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing this rare tranquility.

Lin Ke didn't say anything, but just squeezed her hand even harder, giving her silent encouragement.

"Those people on the Internet don't understand me at all. What right do they have to say that about me?" Wang Xinxin's tears began to well up in her eyes again, crystal clear, like pearls that had broken off the string.

"I know, Xinxin, I know." Lin Ke patted her shoulder gently, as if coaxing a child who had been wronged. "Things on the Internet are true or false, don't take them too seriously."

"But I'm really sad. I feel like I've been abandoned by the whole world." Wang Xinxin's voice was choked with sobs and a hint of despair.

"Silly boy, how could you be abandoned by the whole world? You still have me, Director Li, and everyone in the crew. We all believe in you and support you." Lin Ke's voice was gentle and firm, like a lighthouse guiding the direction in the darkness.

"But I really can't act well, and I'm afraid I will let you down." Wang Xinxin lowered her head, her tone full of self-blame and powerlessness.

"Xinxin, you have to believe in yourself. You are very talented, but you just lack some confidence. Look at your performance today. You have improved a lot compared to yesterday, haven't you?" Lin Ke encouraged. He knew that what Wang Xinxin needed most now was affirmation and encouragement.

"Really?" Wang Xinxin raised her head and looked at Lin Ke eagerly, as if seeking confirmation.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Lin Ke said with a smile, with a gentle smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"But I'm still afraid. I'm afraid I can't do it well." Wang Xinxin's voice still trembled a little, and it was obvious that she had not completely come out of the shadow.

"Don't be afraid, Xinxin. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have already taken the first step. Leave the rest to us. We will work hard with you, make progress together, and realize your dreams together." Lin Ke's voice was firm and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline to Wang Xinxin.

Wang Xinxin looked at Lin Ke, her eyes gradually becoming firm. She took a deep breath and said, "Lin Ke, thank you. I will work hard and I will not give up my dream."

"That's right, this is the Wang Xinxin who bravely pursues her dreams." Lin Ke said with a smile, his admiration in his eyes undisguised.

"Let's go back. We can't delay the shooting progress." Wang Xinxin stood up. The previous gloom on his face was gone, replaced by a determined look.

"Okay, let's go back." Lin Ke also stood up and walked towards the set side by side with Wang Xinxin.

The sunlight shines on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden light. Their backs appear particularly upright in the sunlight, full of hope and strength.

"Director Li, let's shoot another video before we start filming." Lin Ke walked to Director Li and handed him a bottle of water.

Director Li took the water and asked in confusion, "What video?"

"Clarification video, about Xinxin." Lin Ke said as a matter of course, as if this was the most normal thing.

“Clarification video? How to clarify? Those people on the Internet now are like mad dogs. They won’t listen to anything you say. You know that.” Director Li sighed and frowned. It was obvious that he was very troubled by the online public opinion.

"I know, so we have to find a way to make them shut up." Lin Ke raised his lips into a confident smile, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"What method?" Director Li became interested and asked.

"Let's shoot a video of Xinxin acting, just the scene she will perform today, and let her prove herself with her acting skills." Lin Ke said confidently, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Will this... work?" Director Li was a little hesitant. After all, Wang Xinxin's condition is not stable right now, and it is still unknown whether she can perform well.
