Step Back In Time

"Aaaargh." Emily held her head and groaned in pain as she slowly sat up in bed. After a while, she looked around and felt something strange yet familiar.

Above her head, an old ceiling fan was making a squeaking sound. This place didn't look like the movie set. If not, what the hell wss this place?

"Emily, are you up?" Following the clear female voice, the door was pushed open.

Emily eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the woman who was slowly walking towards her in disbelief. "Quinn? What are you doing here, dressed like that?

"Are you okay? You don't even remember me after getting drunk?" Quinn rolled her eyes at her, raised her hand and poked me on the forehead, saying unhappily, She held a bottle of mineral water in her hand and pretended to pour it on Emily's head, and said with a sly smile, "Do you need me to help you sober up?"

Emily subconsciously moved back on the bed, leaning against the wall, with a suspicious look on her face, "What did you say? I was drunk last night?"

"What else do you think?" Quinn rolled her eyes at me. "My dear Miss, don't drink like that if you couldn't handle the hangover. You are fine now. You know, I had to take care of you all night. Look, you still have dark circles under your eyes."

Quinn had a very innocent expression on her face, but Emily couldn't care less about her, she was feeling completely confused. She blinked in bewilderment for a moment. What's going on? Shouldn't she be on the set now?

"Hey. What are you thinking about? Hurry up and help me think of a solution. How can I go to the audition like this?" Quinn raised her hand and pushed her with a painful expression.

"Audition, what audition?" Emily thoughts were interrupted and she asked subconsciously.

"Hey, why are you asking me that?" Quinn stamped her feet, looked at Emily angrily, and said, "You promised me yesterday that you'll accompany me to the Aurora Media audition today. You didn't forget about it, did you?"

"Aurora Media?" Emily muttered to herself. She had some bad impression of this company in her mind.

In her memory, Aurora Media has long been notorious, defrauding people everywhere under the banner of packaging celebrity artists.

All the artists signed to Aurora were no different from the hostesses in nightclubs. They relied on selling their bodies to gain fame, and all kinds of unspoken rules were clearly marked with prices.

Those bastards were best at targeting college students who had just graduated and had no social experience.

"Emily, don't disappoint me. I took care of you for a whole night, you won't let me regret it, will you?" Quinn deliberately used words to provoke me, saying that if she didn't accompany her, it would be like she had paid her kindness back with disappointment. .

"Of course not. Aurora Media, right?" Emily replied. As she recalled, she was naturally very familiar with the behavior of those people in Aurora Media, so she had a disdainful expression on my face.

"What's that expression on your face?" Quinn couldn't stand her arrogant attitude and asked.

"Nothing." Emily shrugged at her to show her helplessness.

"We're running late. I have to find a way to cover up my dark circles." While speaking, Quinn had already taken out the concealer from her makeup bag and applied it in front of the mirror.

On the desk, there was a graduation certificate. Emily picked it up and took a look. It was her diploma from Harbin Medical University. 

In other words, she died after she drowned in a lake, and was transmigrated to 2023, the year she graduated from university.

No wonder Quinn said she was drunk last night. She was celebrating her graduation? 

That bitch really killed her..

She raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She still had an headache. She really couldn't understand why some people get so drunk and were so hard on themselves.

She really had to say that too much alcohol was not a good thing.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Quinn and Wmily arrived early at Thames Building, where Aurora Media was recruiting. At that time, a long queue had already formed outside.

"Nowadays, all girls like to dream of becoming a star." Emily couldn't help but joked as she looked at the young girls around her.

Perhaps she heard what Emily said, the girl in front of her turned around and looked at her with dissatisfaction and contempt, as if to say to me, "If you don't want to be a star, why are you here, stupid?"

Emily shrugged and ignored her unhappy look.

"Shh." Quinn made a gesture to silence me and said to me, "Keep your voice down. You don't want people to hear you."

"What's wrong with them hearing me? It's freedom of speech." Emily responded, paused and asked tentatively. "Do you really want to seek a career in the entertainment industry?"

The entertainment industry was not an easy place to get into. There were traps everywhere, so one had to be on guard at all times. If not, one would be doomed.

"Of course. I dream of becoming a star. The honor of being the center of attention is the dream of every artist." Quinn raised her chin and answered without hesitation.

Ah, the entertainment dream. Yea, Emily already had such experience. 

At the beginning, for the so-called dream of becoming a star, she remembered resolutely resigning from her job as a hospital nurse and coming to Hollywood to develop her career.

She finally got into a small crew for a small budget movie, but the leading actress was inexplicably jealous of her. She took advantage of a filming opportunity and pushed her into a lake without any warning.

When she thought about this, she get so angry that her teeth itch.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. The entertainment gives you something but takes everything from you. Aren't you worried about any unspoken rules?" Emily kindly reminded her, giving her a shot of prevention in advance.

"Emily,.what kind of mess is going on in your mind? A person of integrity has nothing to fear. As long as you have a firm will and good dedication, what can the world do to you?" Quinn looked at her with an innocent expression.

"..." Emily made a speechless expression.

In fact, the rules of survival in the entertainment industry were not what she thought. Many stars would do anything to get ahead, and there were many shady dealings involved.

"Hey, let me tell you, I heard that Aurora Media attaches great importance to this year's artist recruitment. Even the company's director is here in person. What a great opportunity for anyone. Since you are here, you should give it a try also. Maybe we can be selected at the same time." Quinn nudged her with her elbow and encouraged her to sign up as well.

Looking at Quinn who was in a state of excitement at the moment, Emily rolled her eyes. But then she thought, since she was free anyway, she might as well have some fun.
