Although Shi Xi didn't really believe what the system said, he still asked his agent to submit his resume to "Aimu".
She had no hope and was even prepared to be bald for a month, thinking that if it didn't work out, she would just time herself to take a job in a hair growth advertisement.
Lin Ying stayed in the game all the time, occasionally coming out to get some fresh air late at night. It didn't affect Shi Xi much, and she continued to lead the irregular life of a little actor.
Two days later, there was still no news from the crew of "Love", and Shi Xi felt that it was probably over.
She was just about to call her agent to ask if there was any work when the phone rang.
"Shi Xi!" Manager Lin Wenyi's voice was filled with joy: "You are famous!"
Shi Xi was a little confused: "What's going on? Did everyone finally realize that I'm a treasure actor?"
"..." Lin Wenyi was speechless: "It has nothing to do with your business ability. Just go to Weibo and search for 'corpse digging hours'. The whole network is looking for you. Great, Shi Xi, you still have this skill?"
"No way, he became famous because of this?" Shi Xi clicked on Weibo to search doubtfully. The most popular Weibo post had nearly 30,000 likes. It is no exaggeration to say that all of Shi Xi's Weibo posts combined are not as popular as this one.
[Surprise! The anchor went to a haunted house to live broadcast a ghost search, and he actually dug up a corpse! The whole network is looking for the most beautiful corpse digger! ]
This Weibo post is a hit with old clickbait titles, and it also comes with an edited version of a live ghost hunting video, which tells the tortuous and bizarre process of ghost hunting and corpse digging. In the video, Shi Xi, wearing a mask and holding a shovel, looks very alternative and mysterious, which attracted the attention of netizens, so someone started the topic of "Looking for the hours of corpse digging workers".
As we all know, netizens are all Sherlock Holmes. Soon someone found her Weibo through her eyes and the iconic cinnabar mole, and discovered that she is really an actress and very beautiful. She does not seem to have anything to do with "corpse digging" or "ghost hunting".
The greater the contrast, the more people want to explore it; the more curious it is, the more attractive it is. Shi Xi's Weibo followers are increasing rapidly, some are attracted by the supernatural, and some are attracted by his good looks.
[Xiaoshi, are you still going to dig up the body tonight? ]
[Xiaoxiao, did the owner really ask you to dig up the body? ]
[Is this a family craft? Do you accept apprentices? ]
[It’s so beautiful, I thought it was a silly Weibo post, but I didn’t expect the heroine in the story is so beautiful]
Shi Xi slowly typed a question mark: "Can this be popular? It must be fake."
"It's really popular!" Lin Wenyi laughed: "You can post a Weibo to claim it. Think carefully about the content and keep this wave of popularity."
At this time, another call came in. The number looked like it was from the police station. Shi Xi said, "Sister Wen Yi, I'll take the call first."
The police told Shi Xi that the identification result of the bones was out, and it was the body of the owner. The owner was once a well-known actor, with no family, and only a master who had been looking for him. Now that the master of the owner knew what happened, he wanted to send them a banner through the police.
An hour later, Shi Xi met the anchor Jia Ming and an elegant grandmother at the police station.
Grandma's hair was meticulously groomed, with a small white flower pinned to her temples. She shook their hands, her eyes reddened, "Thank you for finding my disciple's body."
Shi Xi felt a chill beside him. He looked down and saw that Lin Ying had come out at some point. He knelt upright on the ground and kowtowed three times to his grandmother.
Grandma looked in that direction as if she had sensed something. A tear slid across her old face, and she called out softly, "Ying'er."
Lin Ying's shoulders trembled as he responded, "Hey."
"I seem to be dazzled. I thought I saw my little disciple." Grandma rubbed her face disappointedly, took out two banners from her bag, handed them solemnly to Shi Xi and Jia Ming, and thanked them again.
Shi Xi looked at Lin Ying, her eyes also moistened. She whispered to her grandmother, "Grandma, Lin Ying told me in a dream before that the underground was too cold and she wanted to move to a brighter cemetery."
"I remember, girl, you and my disciple are destined to be together," Grandma held Shi Xi's hand and patted it, then glanced at Jia Ming: "Come to Grandma's house when you are free, and Grandma will treat you to cakes. My disciple has loved the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made since she was a child. She hasn't eaten it for fifteen years, but this year... this year she can finally eat it."
The two nodded obediently and agreed.
Shi Xi unfolded the banner and took a look. The melancholy that lingered in his heart disappeared: "Grandma, the words you wrote on this banner are so appropriate."
Grandma said: "It was the store owner's suggestion. He said young people like this kind of thing."
After returning home, Shi Xi told Lin Wenyi: "Sister, I know what to post on Weibo when I claim the post."
Shi Xi posted a photo of himself holding a banner that read: Enthusiastic in digging corpses, with superb skills.
The Weibo post reads: The corpse diggers are reporting in every hour, hoping that every wandering soul can return home.
[Are you really a female celebrity? What a fool! Hahaha~]
【From today on, you are the harbor of my soul. 】
[I'll look for you next time to see how good your skills are. ]
[This is a banner sent by the victims' families. It feels a little warm. ]
Shi Xi just spoke out of her feelings and had no intention of becoming famous, but she still became a little famous because of this incident and gained more than 100,000 fans.
The next day, she received a notice from the crew of "Admiration" and she got the opportunity to audition!
The system is somewhat complacent:
[I've already told you, listen to me and you will definitely reach the pinnacle of your life! ]
Shi Xi touched his hair: "Now I just want to keep my hair."
This was Shi Xi's first audition opportunity for the third female lead in a movie. Even though it was a small-budget movie, she took it very seriously. After getting the script, she stayed at home and studied it intensively.
Through this research, she discovered that after inheriting half of Lin Ying's talent, her acting skills were indeed different. Although it cannot be said to be a complete transformation, it has definitely reached a higher level.
Three days later, Shi Xi went for the audition.
While reading the script in the waiting area, the system kept whispering in Shi Xi's ear:
[The time to test Lin Ying's talent has finally arrived! ]
Shi Xi nodded: "The time to solve my baldness crisis has finally come."
The actor sitting near her: “?” Is this line in the script?
When it was Shi Xi's turn to audition, the judges, who had been working all morning, were already tired and not in high spirits. Even the two assistants who helped with chores were not in the mood and were just waiting to get off work.
Shi Xi smiled warmly: "Good morning, judges. I'm Shi Xi, interviewer number three."
Hearing this name, several people on the judges' panel laughed at the same time.
"I remember you, the corpse digger, right?" The director looked at her with interest. "You were not on the interview list originally, but your deeds successfully attracted our attention. Let's get started and see if your acting skills are as good as your corpse digging skills."
Shi Xi bowed to the judges, and when he looked up, his expression had changed, and it was obvious that he had entered the role.
The theme of Adoration is young love. This scene tells the story of the third female character's reunion with her first love, who has turned into a tombstone.
Shi Xi lowered her eyes and looked ahead. In her eyes, there was a tombstone in front of her, where the young man she had admired when she was young was buried.
"Alan, it's been fifteen years, and you're still the same." Shi Xi lowered her voice, her tone sounding much older. She raised her hand and touched the non-existent pear tree in front of her, her eyes softened: "Only this tree and I have grown old."
As soon as Shi Xi opened her mouth, she pulled everyone present into her emotions.
Before this, the director's impression of her was that of a silly corpse digger, who had nothing to do with this somewhat heavy scene. He didn't expect that the contrast was so great when she performed.
He exchanged glances with the screenwriter, and they both nodded in tacit understanding.
After Shi Xi and "A Lan" finished reminiscing about the past, she quietly looked up at the treetops covered with flowers. A tear slowly fell from the corner of her eye. She whispered, "Even if pear blossoms fall all over my head, we will still grow old together."
After a while, Shi Xi wiped away her tears and said, "My performance is over. Thank you judges."
The judges were still immersed in the performance just now, and only came back to their senses when they were called.
The director praised: "You are quite quick in getting out of the role."
Shi Xi smiled, his voice still nasal: "It's all the self-cultivation of an actor."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she led everyone out of the sad atmosphere.
The screenwriter was impressed with her: "The emotions in this scene are quite heavy, and you acted well, as if you really experienced fifteen years of life and death separation. I searched your previous works, and your acting has improved."
"It's really good," Director Liu tapped the table and pondered for a moment: "Shi Xi, go back and wait for news."
Shi Xi certainly had not experienced fifteen years of separation between life and death, but she witnessed the reunion of Lin Ying and her mentor after fifteen years, and she felt quite touched, and naturally acted out the regret of not being able to meet each other.
Lin Ying's talent allowed her to present this kind of emotion more delicately. Shi Xi was quite satisfied with her performance. All that was left was to wait for news.
The crew of "Admiration" was quite efficient. A week later, Lin Wenyi told Shi Xi that she had heard that several judges were inclined to choose Shi Xi, so it should be a sure thing, and they just had to wait for a definite answer from the crew.
Shi Xi happily had a good beauty sleep, and when she woke up the next morning she was smiling. After she woke up, she suddenly felt something was wrong... That is, her head seemed a little cold.
"No way..." Shi Xi reached out and touched his head. It was smooth and there was not a single hair on it.
**She had no hair either, her black hair seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Shi Xi quickly checked her phone and saw that Lin Wenyi had sent her a screen full of crying emojis.
[Shi Xi, the third female lead that I admired was snatched away! I found out that it was given to Lu Lanlan from Future Video.]
Shi Xi also wanted to cry, so she replied, "Sister Wen Yi, please help me keep an eye out for reliable hair growth ads recently."
Lin Wenyi: [What, are you suffering from alopecia due to too much stress? ]
Shi Xi: "No, I'm completely bald."

"The female supporting role became popular in the variety show of the times" by Yuxuan W
Copywriter:
The max-level fast-transmigration master Luo Qiu is back.
After she died and entered a fast-forward journey, she realized that her world was a novel.
She is the cannon fodder female supporting role in the book who throws herself at the male protagonist but is mocked in return and is blacklisted by the entire network and ends up in a miserable state.
At that time, Luo Qiu had just entered a new era of variety shows, and netizens rushed to prepare to criticize him, but found out that -
The variety show guests couldn't make a fire and couldn't find any food, so they had to eat white rice with cold water, feeling miserable.
Luo Qiu went up the mountain to chop wood, dig vegetables, and go into the water to catch fish. The wild vegetables and small fried fish made him hungry.
Initial netizens: Who doesn’t know how to make a fire and cook? The other guests are just not familiar with it!
But as the variety show progresses, the contrast becomes more and more obvious.
The other guests worked hard every day, but their work points were very low and their wages were scarce, so they had a hard time making ends meet.
Luo Qiu got a lot of work points and had a handful of banknotes in his hands. He happily drank wolfberries in a teacup and played mahjong with the villagers.
Netizen: The guests are so miserable! Sister is playing mahjong and is short of one player. Let me take care of you!
Life was too miserable. In order to curry favor with Luo Qiu, the guests surrendered themselves one after another and offered their "indentures" to become coolie workers. Under Luo Qiu's leadership, the guests' lives became better and better. They strolled in the mountains during the day, looked up at the stars at night, and enjoyed the beautiful pastoral life.
The audience was suddenly unbalanced!
"Get out of the way, sister, look at me, I'm going to sign the contract too!"
"What kind of celestial life is this? I'm jealous! Take me with you!"
