Anime chat group: Second dimension heroines fight for me

The producer said I wasn't really suitable for that role...

Not suitable?

The mother gave a cold laugh.

Mai never has a role that doesn't suit her; she could handle any role since she was sixteen.

Do you know how much money I spent hiring a teacher to teach you acting?

Hearing the name Mai Sakurajima.

Hehua bit her lower lip.

Until they tasted blood.

…I tried my best, Mom.

Her voice was already trembling.

She had done everything she could, and she had never missed a training session, but the result was always the same.

Go home immediately; we need to talk.

The call was disconnected, leaving only a busy tone.

……

Feng Bin and Hua were momentarily lost in thought.

It was because my mother's voice seemed to suppress a volcano.

She knew that when she got home, she would be scolded by her mother as usual.

Numbness carved deep wounds into her heart.

...

On the subway home.

Feng Bin and Hua gazed at their reflections in the car window.

She has long golden hair and features similar to Mai Sakurajima's, but she will never have that innate radiance.

Even though they aren't blood sisters, they look very alike.

But Feng Bin and Hua knew that it was only a superficial resemblance.

Mai Sakurajima is a true acting genius; she can do anything perfectly.

And she... was just an ordinary girl who could never catch up with her sister's back.

...

When I opened the door to my home.

The rich aroma of coffee wafts over you.

The mother sat on the sofa in the living room, with a photo album open in front of her.

Toyohama Kazuka glimpsed that it was Mai Sakurajima's collection of newspaper clippings.

Those were all the reports and photos about Mai that her mother had carefully collected over the years.

Her mother gave her a cold glance.

Her smudged makeup made her frown.

He said in a completely emotionless voice: Go wash your face before you come back. Who are you trying to impress by looking so slovenly?

Feng Bin and Hua felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

He pursed his lips.

Ok…

She quickly went to the bathroom to wash off her smudged makeup.

But this also makes the traces of crying more obvious.

Those rednesses and swellings are obviously not so easy to get rid of.

……

living room.

Feng Bin and Hua sat cautiously on the edge of the sofa, their fingers nervously twisting together.

She noticed the videotape of her last audition on the coffee table.

The label reads: "Comparison reference: Mai's work at age 16."

Her mother's gaze and the oppressive silence weighed on her.

After a moment of silence, her mother finally spoke.

Do you know why this audition is so important to you? The mother finally raised her head, her eyes sharp as knives.

Because...this is a very important role?

Feng Bin and Hua could only guess at this.

No, because this is the same type of role that made Mai a star back then!

The mother suddenly raised her voice.

If you can land this role, people will start to compare you to others, instead of always seeing you as Mai's cousin who is inferior to her!

Feng Binhua felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She knew perfectly well what her mother was planning.

She became a tool for her mother to mold Sakurajima Mai into someone else, and to surpass Sakurajima Mai!

Chapter 616 I am not her! I can never be her! But I want to be her!

I've tried my best, Mom.

Feng Binhua's voice trembled slightly, filled with endless grievances.

But I can't be Mai-nee, we're different people...

different?

The mother suddenly opened the photo album.

Look at this!

She turned to another page, pointing to two photos placed side by side.

One of the photos is of Mai Sakurajima receiving a newcomer award when she was fifteen years old.

The other photo is a promotional picture of Toyohama and Hana taken when they were the same age.

Same angle, same expression, even the same hairstyle!

The audience can't tell who's who at all!

As Feng Bin and Hua stared at the photo, they felt a sharp pain in their stomachs.

That was a carefully planned replication scheme by my mother.

They made her imitate Mai from her clothes and hairstyle, and even cast her in similar roles.

But no matter how she imitates, the comments are always the same.

[She has potential, but lacks the innate talent of Mai Sakurajima.]

Why wasn't it selected again?

The mother, suppressing her emotions, asked in a low voice.

I...I don't know...

One sentence was enough to make Feng Bin and Hua choke up.

This is the third time this month.

The mother's voice turned cold.

Have you prepared seriously? Mai has already starred in two TV dramas at your age.

I'm prepared! I practice until very late every day!

Toyohama and Hana raised their heads

Tears welled up in her eyes.

His voice trembled with grievance.

But the director said my performance lacked soul...

Lacking a soul?

The mother scoffed.

She ignored Toyohama Kazuka's sadness and vulnerability, seeing only severity in her eyes.

Since Mai Sakurajima retired from the entertainment industry.

The mother then shifted all her attention to Fengbin and Hua.

To be precise, the focus shifted to being picky about Toyohama and Hana.

In her mind, her daughter, Toyohama Kazuka, could take this opportunity to replace Sakurajima Mai's position.

Mai had never received such praise before.

Do you know why?

Because she is talented, and she is willing to give everything for it.

Her words were full of comparisons to Mai Sakurajima's daughter, and were the classic example of someone else's child.

These words made

It felt as if a large rock was pressing down on Feng Bin and Hua's chest, making it difficult for them to breathe.

That's it again!

Every conversation eventually came back to the older sister.

Perfect, impeccable... Mai Sakurajima.

So what exactly is she?

What does her effort count for?

Feng Bin and Hua clenched their hands in pain.

I heard that although Mai retired from the entertainment industry and returned to school, her grades are very good and she is among the top students in her grade.

The mother continued speaking, her tone suddenly softening.

That was the tone he used only when Mai was mentioned.

At that moment, she was thinking how wonderful it would be if Mai Sakurajima were her daughter.

With those grades, she would have no problem getting into Tokyo University. Even if she didn't become an actress, she could succeed in any field.

The light in Feng Bin and Hua's eyes had faded.

She wished her mother could talk about her in that tone even just once.

I am clearly her daughter!

Kaori, are you even listening to me?
