Xia Lin was sitting comfortably in a warm and inviting café, feeling a strong sense of determination. She held a cup of coffee in her hands, taking small sips and enjoying its rich aroma.

Chen Wei, her closest friend, sat across from her with an amused expression, a playful smile gracing her lips.
Xia Lin sat across from her best friend, Chen Wei, in a cozy café. Chen Wei looked at Xia Lin with eager eyes and asked, "Can you please tell me again why you want to be an actress?"
Xia Lin's face brightened up, and her voice was filled with excitement as she explained, "Chen Wei, acting is like a special language for me. It's how I express myself and connect with others. I want to touch people's hearts and make them feel things deeply. When I act, I bring characters to life and tell stories that resonate with everyone's experiences. Being an actress feels like my true calling."
Chen Wei nodded, understanding Xia Lin's passion. "I've always admired your talent and dedication, Xia Lin. I truly believe in you. But you know, the entertainment industry can be really tough, right?"
Xia Lin let out a tired breath, and her eyes wandered to the lively cityscape just beyond the café's window. "Yes, I'm aware. The entertainment industry is a tough place, with lots of people competing for limited opportunities. There will be times when I face disappointment and hear the word 'no' repeatedly. But I'm determined to confront these challenges directly. I won't allow anything to stand in the way of me chasing my dreams."
As Xia Lin and Chen Wei were deeply engaged in their conversation, a colorful flyer suddenly caught Xia Lin's eye. It was a poster advertising a talent audition that was going to take place soon. The sight of it filled Xia Lin with a surge of excitement and anticipation. Unable to contain her enthusiasm, she eagerly shared the news with Chen Wei.
"Chen Wei, this is the moment I've been waiting for! This audition has the potential to be my breakthrough in the industry. I need to put my heart and soul into it," Xia Lin exclaimed, her voice filled with a combination of strong determination and nervous excitement.
Chen Wei's face lit up with a big smile, radiating support and enthusiasm. Her voice carried warmth and encouragement as she spoke, "Of course, Xia Lin! I will be by your side every step of the way, cheering you on with all my heart. I truly believe that you are destined for incredible success and greatness."
