Chapter 1 Is this the current popular makeup look? ...



After binding the animal attribute system, I have become an all-rounder

———————————

On a scorching summer day, there was not a cloud in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight poured down, making the Star Dream Entertainment building sparkle.

A group of young and beautiful girls gathered outside the main entrance of the building. They held banners in their hands and looked towards the hall despite the scorching sun, as if they were waiting for someone.

Such scenes are not unfamiliar.

Star Dream Entertainment has many artists under its banner, including many popular young stars in the entertainment industry.

Fans often wait at the company's door just to catch a glimpse of their idol.

It was clearly a very common sight.

But someone pushed the door open and walked out, and the next second, a heart-wrenching cry rang in my ears.

"Qiao Yiyi, get out of the entertainment industry!"

"Resolutely boycott bad artists!"

"Are you really incapable of anything else besides bundling and hyping things up?"

"Please ask Xingmeng Entertainment to terminate the contract with Qiao Yiyi and give my boss an explanation. Otherwise, I wish Xingmeng Entertainment to go bankrupt!"

Such a grand scene scared the staff who came out, not to mention Qiao Yiyi who was hiding behind a tree and observing secretly.

Although someone in the company had sent her a warning in advance, she was still frightened by the scene when she saw it with her own eyes.

Trying to calm herself down, Qiao Yiyi pressed down the brim of her hat and pulled up her mask. After making sure she was fully armed, she crouched down and planned to sneak in quietly through the side door.

I didn't expect to be spotted by sharp-eyed netizens after just a few steps.

"It's Qiao Yiyi!"

As soon as the words fell, the girls let go of the poor staff and rushed towards Qiao Yiyi.

Qiao Yiyi's alarm bells immediately rang and she ran away.

The wind blew her hat off and her sunglasses were shaking, but she didn't care at all and staged a thrilling zombie chase scene with the girl who was chasing her relentlessly.

Fortunately, the security guard arrived in time, otherwise Qiao Yiyi seriously suspected that she would not be able to see the sun rise tomorrow for the second time.

Yes, Qiao Yiyi traveled into a book.

An ordinary young woman with a very positive outlook on life, who would even help an old lady cross the road, was hit by a car because she was walking and playing with her mobile phone. Then she was reincarnated as a female supporting role in a novel with the same name, who was full of negative news, relied on hype to attract attention, and had a notorious bad record.

Adhering to the principle that black and red are also red, and black fans are also fans, the original owner did everything he could to gain traffic and popularity.

The current situation is that the original owner was at the advertising shooting site a few days ago. Because of his outspokenness and arrogant attitude, he offended several artists at once. Several fans united to block the company's door and demanded that Star Dream Entertainment and Qiao Yiyi terminate the contract and get out of the entertainment industry.

As an artist, there is no other artist who has been boycotted by the entire network except the original owner.

Qiao Yiyi stood in front of the elevator, panting, and sighed deeply.

The shiny glass door reflected her disheveled figure, with disheveled clothes and messy hair, and a few wilted green vegetable leaves hanging on it, each of which showed that netizens hated her to the core.

This morning, her agent Zhao Anna called her and asked her to come to the company. Judging from the situation, she seemed to want to discuss the termination of the contract with her.

She didn't care, as she was not in the entertainment industry. Moreover, according to the plot of the original book, the original owner was a troublemaker and was eventually banned by the big boss for trying to extort money from the female protagonist. He died of depression and had a miserable end.

It would be better for her to quit the entertainment industry and live a life of insignificance.

Qiao Yiyi picked the vegetable leaves off her head and threw them into the trash can next to her. Then she pressed the elevator button and went to her agent's office on the 18th floor.

As expected, Zhao Anna looked unhappy. As soon as she saw her, she started to curse at her.

"You said you, can't you let me save some trouble?"

"Those guys outside have been squatting here for three days, yelling at everyone they meet. And you, on the other hand, just sit back at home and let us clean up your mess!"

"You've already offended every platform you've been working with. If you keep going like this, you'll be doomed sooner or later!"

The agent bombarded him with a barrage of criticism, but when he saw that the person in front of him had no reaction at all and was even picking his fingers at the corner of his clothes, he became even more furious.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Ah?" Qiao Yiyi raised her head blankly, and was caught off guard by Zhao Anna's dark face. She nodded quickly, "I'm listening."

Zhao Anna was very tired: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Qiao Yiyi: "No..."

What can she say?

The business has become so bad that it will be almost impossible for her to make any progress in the entertainment industry. She has already prepared herself mentally to pack up and go home to continue being an ordinary office worker.

Seeing that she looked like a hopeless case, Zhao Anna felt a dull pain somewhere in her heart.

But in the end, he rubbed his temples and threw a document on the table: "Sign this."

Qiao Yiyi's eyes lit up: "Termination letter?"

"What termination letter?" Zhao Anna didn't understand her train of thought. "This is a contract document for a variety show!"

"Oh." Qiao Yiyi was a little disappointed, and her bright eyes dimmed instantly. "I thought the company wanted to terminate my contract."

"You wish." Zhao Anna sneered, "The company hasn't earned back the money it invested in you, and you lost several endorsements a few days ago because of a conflict with someone. This compensation will be deducted from your salary and film remuneration."

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

In the end, he could not escape the tragic fate of being a humble worker.

Qiao Yiyi walked out of her agent's office in frustration. The girls outside were still making a fuss, so she had to take the elevator directly to the underground parking garage and shamelessly take a car belonging to an outgoing staff member to escape from this place of trouble.

The variety show that Zhao Anna arranged for her to participate in is called "Charming Voice", which brings together various talents with unique voices to perform imitation shows and showcase the charm of their voices.

But I don't know if it's because of poor marketing or bad luck for the production team. This variety show has been running for three seasons. Celebrities have been invited and big names have come to support it, but it just can't make a splash. It's a failure every season. The director is a stubborn person and insists on sticking to it to the end. In the end, any artist with a little fame and popularity is unwilling to take on this show.

Qiao Yiyi had nothing to do with this show originally. She is a person who is both popular and negative. Although she is scolded every day, her popularity is there. In addition, her appearance is really good. Although some businesses had concerns, they were finally attracted by her in the end.

This time was an exception. One of the artists offended by the original owner had a strong backstage and was unwilling to endure this humiliation, so the boss spoke up, and not only did Qiao Yiyi lose a lot of endorsements, many program crews and advertisers didn't dare to approach her. This was no different from being banned.

Zhao Anna negotiated for a long time and barely helped her get the resources for "Voice of Charm". It was her turn because the original female star had to terminate the contract due to some urgent matters.

Before going to the show, Zhao Anna repeatedly warned: "Don't cause trouble for me this time. If you can't speak, shut up. If you can't handle things, just be honest and be a vase. If you mess up even this, I will really have to give up on you."

Qiao Yiyi’s inner thoughts: Please give up on me.

But he still went to the recording site early in the morning as agreed.

The venue was still being set up at that time and the contestants were rehearsing backstage.

Director Zheng Hongyun held up a loud speaker, directing where the cameras should be positioned and what scenery should be set up in each location. Everyone was busy and no one noticed her.

She sat in the reception room for a long time, having memorized her lines several times, but no one came to see her. She could only grab a staff member who was hurriedly passing by and ask, "Excuse me, where is the dressing room?"

The staff member took a moment to react before remembering that their sound producer had been temporarily replaced by Qiao Yiyi. He slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I was so busy that I forgot. Sorry, I'll take you there right away."

Qiao Yiyi, who is also a social animal, gave an understanding smile: "Then thank you for your help."

Staff: “???”

When people heard that the sound producer was replaced by Qiao Yiyi, everyone complained.

There's no way around it. Qiao Yiyi has a bad reputation. She often acts like a big shot at work and likes to make things difficult for the staff.

The entertainment industry is a circle, and the people behind the scenes also have their own small groups.

After those who had worked with her discussed it privately, Qiao Yiyi was put on their blacklist.

Furthermore, her offense against the platform and advertisers was well known, and the internet-wide boycott trended on Weibo for days. While their show wasn't popular, it held a strong foundation of passion and commitment. They were extremely disdainful of this female artist who had nothing to offer except her looks, and many expressed their desire to teach her a lesson.

Qiao Yiyi didn't know about this and just thought they were really busy and couldn't take care of her.

After entering the dressing room, Qiao Yiyi looked around. There were all unfamiliar faces, including unknown celebrities. However, there was one who looked familiar. He seemed to be a member of a boy group that debuted through a talent show. She had seen him on Weibo yesterday.

Seeing Qiao Yiyi, the boy smiled at her and said, "Hello, Sister Yiyi."

Qiao Yiyi was dazzled by his bright and brilliant smile. Although she didn't remember his name at all, she nodded politely and responded, "Hello."

The boy was stunned, thinking that she was not as difficult to communicate with and did not like to talk to others as everyone said.

Makeup artist Xiao Su led Qiao Yiyi to sit in front of the makeup mirror and asked with a smile, "Sister Yiyi, do you have any requirements for your makeup and hair this time?"

Qiao Yiyi didn't understand and shook her head: "Just follow the program team's requirements."

Xiao Su was a little surprised. You know, the stylist who had done Qiao Yiyi's hair before had complained in the group more than once that she was difficult to deal with. Not only did she have many demands, but she also liked to give them orders.

Every time they finish styling, they feel like having a heart attack and want to change their careers.

I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to this time.

"Then I'll follow the most popular style at the moment."

"Okay." Qiao Yiyi agreed readily.

An hour later, she looked in the mirror at her Barbie pink lipstick, light blue eyeshadow, and two tentacle-like bangs. She began to doubt her own aesthetic taste: "Is this the most popular makeup look right now?"

Xiao Su smiled and said, "Sister Yiyi, you don't know that retro style is popular now. And this look is quite unique. Only someone with Sister Yiyi's unique beauty can pull it off. I wouldn't even do it on anyone else."

Qiao Yiyi: "...Okay."

She stood up and walked towards the recording site, without noticing that behind her, Xiao Su exchanged a triumphant look with the other stylists.

"Voice of Charm" has been recorded to its fourth season, but its playback volume and response are very mediocre, and it is far surpassed by variety shows of the same period.

The directors and the program crew change the content of the program every season, from inviting big stars to take the lead in the beginning, to inviting young and popular stars to create gimmicks. Every time, it is a lot of noise but little action, and finally it is drowned out by the flood of various entertainment programs.

As a result, the production team of this season was short of funds and could not afford to invite big names, and of course they were unwilling to come, so they could only find some amateur contestants and internet celebrities, and the promotional point was "Amateurs entering the entertainment industry."

As the sound producer of this season, Qiao Yiyi plays the role of a vase here.

Read the host's words, cue the process, and liven up the atmosphere when appropriate.

She kept Zhao Anna's instructions in mind and didn't cause trouble.

So even though things kept going wrong during the recording process—being mistaken for a staff member, being disrespected by the contestants, being taunted by other guests...

She endured them all.

There is no way, there is still a compensation to be paid.

After a morning of recording, Qiao Yiyi was starving.

The staff distributed lunch boxes to everyone.

Yes, the production team is almost as poor as some other film crews.

Qiao Yiyi received her lunch box, compared herself with the others, and asked the staff, "Why is there no chicken leg in my lunch box?"

The staff member said impatiently: "It's gone. If you want to eat, order takeout yourself."

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

I feel very wronged.

Only later did I realize that I was being targeted.

The boy band member who greeted her in the morning came over and said, "Sister Yiyi, you can eat mine. I just opened it and haven't even started eating yet."

Qiao Yiyi raised her head and was once again dazzled by the youthful atmosphere that hit her in the face.

The boy's name is Qu Fan, and he is a member of a boy group that debuted not long ago.

She politely declined: "Thank you, I was just asking."

After saying that, he took his lunch box and went to the corner, trying to reduce his presence.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful! It's truly tragic that you've ended up like this after traveling through a book.]
