The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

Marie slept until noon, had lunch at home, and then went to Maris 

Entertainment. 

Today was the first day of broadcasting for the TV series The Autumn Tragedy. A while ago, Darwin and Sasha had successfully wrapped up filming. After a 

round of promotion, the show officially aired today. 

Upon the broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy, the viewership ratings 

continuously changed with the overall trend, and it quickly and unsurprisingly 

broke the viewing records. 

Darwin and Sasha once again successfully portrayed two roles, bringing the 

roles from the book to life. 

The TV series had just aired and immediately became a trending topic. Darwin and Sasha’s Twitter was blowing up with activity. 

[Sasha really was the genuine Sierra!] 

[What a phenomenal girl!] 

[Looking forward to Sierra brutally abusing Cassius! Make them all cry!) 

[Sasha really was a representative of the rising young stars who were 

beautiful, kind, and had great acting skills!] 

Sasha’s Twitter comments were quite normal, full of praise and admiration for Sasha’s appearance and acting skills. 

Darwin’s Twitter comments were rather strange, generally following this pattern. 

Fan 1 wrote, [Ahh! Darwin, why were you so handsome?] 

Darwin replied, [Born handsome.] 

Fan 2 commented, [Sierra doesn’t want you! Be with me instead! I have tons of 

Get Borot 

personality! I don’t have any deep grudges or hatred towards you!) 

Darwin replied, [Let me think about it.] 

Fan 3 posted, [Darwin’s acting skills have really improved lately! And it’s all been in collaboration with Sasha. Could it be that working with Sasha makes. your acting more natural?] 

Darwin replied, [My acting skills have always been good.] 

Marie was speechless, as Darwin had interacted with fans on Twitter more 

than once. He would respond to the top comments from the first few dozen 

fans. 

Marie didn’t know where he found so much time and energy to browse 

Twitter, especially since it was a company matter. Zane and Sasha were busy 

every day, barely having time to catch their breath, while Darwin always 

seemed to have some leisure time. 

Marie once told Darwin to maintain a sense of mystery and not interact with 

fans so frequently, as he was a popular idol and shouldn’t follow the jokester 

path. 

However, Darwin agreed today and replied again tomorrow. He told Marie that 

he was too bored and had to reply. So, Marie thought that he might really be 

more suitable for the comedian career path… 

The broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy not only brought fame to Sasha and 

Darwin, solidifying their status as A-list celebrities, but also led to Sabrina finding fame. 

She portrayed Tiffany, who, despite causing a lot of trouble for Cassius and Sierra’s relationship in the beginning, ultimately died for Cassius, 

successfully creating an extremely devoted character. Her skilled acting, combined with her sweet appearance, gained her many fans and led to better 

opportunities. 

Get Boys 

After the successful broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy, Marie gave Darwin and Sasha a two-week vacation to rest for a while, as they had a movie shoot. 

coming up next. 

This time, Marie chose a script for Darwin called The Pianist. The story took place during wartime, and the character’s name was Jansen Ferris. He joined the army due to his family’s decline, but he looked down on the slumdogs. 

from the countryside. Others also disapproved of his arrogance. 

He had always been a rascal, just getting by, selfish and self-serving, only caring about his own safety. During battles, he would always hide in the back, never fitting in with his comrades. 

It was not until one operation, when comrade tried to let him retreat first, that he ended up dying right in front of Jansen due to a slight misstep. He was plagued by nightmares every night and tormented by guilt, unable to sleep. It was then that he gradually realized how terrifying war was and how fragile his 

comrade’s life had been. 

When an infiltration operation called “Musical” was launched, someone was needed to pose as a pianist to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks, steal confidential information, and successfully thwart the enemy’s plans. They volunteered for 

the mission. 

After experiencing ridicule, denial, rejection, and countless instances of perseverance, he was chosen to become an infiltrator. He successfully completed the mission, but his identity was exposed. In order to buy time, he did not retreat and was ultimately shot and killed during Musical. 

Marie chose this script because Jansen’s role was completely opposite to Darwin’s personality or persona. 

Darwin’s persona for the audience and fans had always been that of a popular idol, handsome and cool. This greatly limited his development potential, causing many screenwriters and directors to feel that Darwin could only play 

the role of a scion or only appear in idol dramas. 

The role of Jansen was that of a young soldier, not requiring handsomeness or coolness. What was needed was determination, strength, and selfless devotion 

to a greater cause. 

These were very unfamiliar to Darwin, and even more so for Darwin’s fans and 

audience. 

If Darwin could successfully portray this role, it would be a huge surprise for 

both the audience and fans, and it would also be very helpful for his future 

career. 

Marie finalized the script directly with the producer and practically dragged Darwin to the studio for a makeup test, asking him to join the production 

team. 

Darwin, wearing a somewhat worn military uniform, still couldn’t hide the proud and handsome look on his face. Even after putting on makeup and getting dressed in costume, he still had the appearance of a popular idol. 

Marie felt helpless, as she had known this situation would arise. Now, she 

could only take it one step at a time. 

Darwin was thrown into the production team, warned not to cause trouble, 

and then Marie went to find Sasha. 

This time, Marie chose a script for Sasha called The Earthquake. It told the story of Amelie Lansing, a female university student who was assigned to volunteer in the disaster area for post-earthquake reconstruction after the Northridge region experienced a major earthquake. 

From a young age, Amelie had lived a life of luxury and was very reluctant to participate in this volunteer activity. She had been going through the motions, but as the local disaster victims repeatedly expressed their gratitude to her, she gradually saw the beauty of human nature. In the end, she chose to stay in Northridge for two years as a teacher, getting involved in education work. 

Marie chose this script entirely because she wanted to take advantage of
