Lin Yanran was at the corner between the second and third floors, so he could easily see everything downstairs.
Looking for the source of the voice, he saw Shang Chengcheng.
Shang Chengcheng, who had just come out of the second floor and was about to take the stairs, looked at the two of them and sneered, "Do you think you can become famous just by relying on your looks, or do you think you can get promoted faster by spreading rumors behind others' backs?"
The two little actors who were complaining about Lin Yanran behind her back obviously didn't expect that someone would appear in this rarely used corridor.
After their ugly and sour faces were exposed, the two young actors felt embarrassed at first.
One of them, who had just graduated, was not thick-skinned enough. Because he felt guilty, he immediately bowed his head and gave in. His face flushed and he hurriedly explained to Shang Chengcheng, "No, we didn't mean anything else. We just heard it from someone and didn't take it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Shang Chengcheng slowly walked up to the two of them and smiled sarcastically.
"You heard it from others or you are just envious and jealous. Don't you understand?"
The two young actors originally thought that after their humble explanation, the other party would turn a blind eye.
But who knew that Shang Chengcheng didn't give them any face at all, and every word he said was more unpleasant than the last.
Another actor who had a similar temperament to Lin Yanran looked at Shang Chengcheng angrily after his lungs were punctured, and asked him unhappily, "I didn't say anything about you, what does it have to do with you?"
The young actor also has a temper. He has been annoyed by things related to Lin Yanran recently, and naturally hates people who defend him.
It was because of his face.
Anyone who can make it in the entertainment industry must have a good-looking face.
The same goes for this young actor. He is good-looking and has been the school idol for many years.
The young actor has been praised for his good looks since he was young, but since Lin Yanran suddenly became popular at the end of last year, because his temperament is somewhat similar to that of the other, many people can't help but add a sentence when praising his good looks, "Wow, you look a bit like Yanran."
If an ordinary person were told this, he would definitely be happy.
After all, Lin Yanran's looks are among the best in the entertainment industry. Saying that she looks like him is simply a relative affirmation of her own looks.
But unfortunately this actor is very narrow-minded.
When he first debuted, some people said he looked two-faced.
But at that time, he was able to directly play the third male lead, and his starting point was much higher than Lin Yanran. When he mentioned Lin Yanran, he couldn't help but feel a bit of superiority. At that time, everyone said that Lin Yanran was like him.
As a result, he has been filming for two years and is still playing supporting roles. He has been struggling for a long time but has not been able to make a name for himself.
However, Lin Yanran, who was not as good as him, suddenly overtook him in a short period of time.
So, overnight, his status was reversed and he became what everyone called "a bit like Yanran".
Such a gap made the young actor gradually become psychologically unbalanced.
Originally, the two of them had no intersection, but because of their different fates caused by different circumstances, he was extremely jealous of each other.
Today was not the first time he had fabricated and spread obscene rumors about Lin Yanran behind her back, but it was the first time he was caught in the act.
The grievance and anger made him feel that Shang Chengcheng, who stood in front of him to help Lin Yanran, was sick.
Seeing that the other party was not a big name but had no boundaries, he was too lazy to be polite to him and directly accused him in a cold voice.
"Who doesn't gossip about other things? Do you really need to stand up for me here? Are you sick?"
The little actor's words made Shang Chengcheng laugh, "You are the one who is sick, aren't you? I heard you saying bad things about my friend behind his back, and you still want me to pretend that I didn't hear it?"
When the young actor heard this, he suddenly remembered the gossip he had heard before about Shang Chengcheng and Lin Yanran. He immediately smiled and reached out to poke the other person in the heart.
"Friend?? That's so funny. What kind of friend are you? How can I consider you my friend now that I'm famous?"
Shang Chengcheng was not angry because of this. Instead, he held the other person's dishonest hand and warned him coldly, "No matter how close we are, it is not your turn to slander others behind their backs."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "If I hear anyone spreading rumors about him behind his back again, I'll hold it against you."
The young actor probably had never met such a person before, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You are poisonous..."
As if the young actor wasn't angry enough, Shang Chengcheng deliberately said, "If you say one more word, I will tell Yan Ran and his fans exactly what you said."
The young actor was competitive, but he was still very afraid that this matter would be exposed.
After all, his number of fans is not even comparable to the other party's. If Shang Chengcheng really told Feng Feng about it, he would definitely be torn to pieces by Lin Yanran's fans.
He had no choice but to admit defeat and could only shake off Shang Chengcheng's hand and walk away with his companions, cursing.
"Fuck, you're crazy."
Shang Chengcheng listened to the other party's insults and did not step forward to argue.
Instead, he looked down at his hand that had just been shaken away, and smiled softly with the corners of his mouth.
He knew more than the little actor and knew that it was only natural for Lin Yanran to ignore him in this life.
After all, I was the one who let him down in the beginning.
He never thought that he would be able to restore his original relationship with the other party.
Shang Chengcheng took out his cell phone and sent the New Year's greetings text message that Lin Yanran sent him on New Year's Eve.
This was the first blessing he received from a friend, apart from text messages from his team and work-related people.
Since cutting off ties with his family, Shang Chengcheng has almost shut himself off from the world.
Over the years, he has had almost no friends and has not been home for many years. He doesn't know what it feels like to celebrate the New Year together.
His only relative is Bai Tianyu.
On the New Year's Day, he felt really lonely watching the lively Spring Festival Gala, so he secretly sent a message to Bai Tianyu.
But the other party was accompanying his family and had not responded to him.
Just when he was feeling the most pitiful, he received a message from Lin Yanran.
Although it was just an ordinary New Year greeting message, he was still deeply moved when he saw the last sentence, "The future is beautiful, you deserve it."
They were all people who had fallen into the quagmire together.
But after being abandoned by herself, Yanran, who had experienced so much suffering, completely walked out of the quagmire.
He got deeper and deeper into it...
Although he knew that their relationship could not be repaired now, when he saw that sentence, he still understood that the other party was encouraging him.
Shang Chengcheng put his phone away, then walked down and disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Yanran, who witnessed the whole process, felt pity and sadness for some reason as she watched Shang Chengcheng leave alone.
He always felt that Shang Chengcheng's behavior was very contradictory.
He clearly abandoned his friend in the beginning, but now he is protecting him behind his back.
He didn't understand why the other party was like that.
But people are contradictory. He is not the other person and has a weak relationship with him, so he turned around and went upstairs without appearing in front of Shang Chengcheng.
Lin Yanran rested in the dressing room for a long time before going to the studio.
When he entered the room, he deliberately glanced at the two little actors who had been talking about him behind his back.
The young actor sitting at the edge suddenly saw Lin Yanran's eyes sweeping over him, and he couldn't help but look away, feeling very guilty.
They didn’t know if it was a psychological reason, but they always felt that the way Lin Yanran looked at them just now was as if she knew something.
When Lin Yanran arrived, many guest performers had also arrived, and those celebrities with bigger names and higher status had also come.
Socializing is the most common way in the entertainment industry.
As soon as Lin Yanran came in, the guests in the room stood up to greet him.
Whether you know him or not, everyone comes to greet him.
This would have been impossible in the past.
Although it was a big scene, Lin Yanran was able to handle it with relative ease.
While Lin Yanran was greeting everyone, some guests were discussing quietly in private.
They arrived late and didn't know that it was Lin Yanran who came to replace the previously arrested traffic.
Now that he saw Lin Yanran, he looked at him with curiosity and an attitude of watching a show.
How confident should a singer and variety show star like this, who is not from a professional background and has low academic qualifications, be in participating in this performance program?
Wang Zhen, who was sitting in the row behind Lin Yan, thought the same.
When he saw Lin Yanran walk in and realized that he was going to be on a variety show with him again, the smile on his face froze.
Is this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road? It’s bad enough that he, the MC of "Incredible Journey", was outshined by this guest, but how come he met this person when he came to participate in an acting variety show?
In the entertainment industry and the world of fame and fortune, no matter how unhappy Wang Zhen was, he forced himself to hold it in.
He walked up to Lin Yanran and asked him in pretended surprise.
"Everyone was guessing who would attend, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Wang Zhen was not very patient after all, so he immediately asked the next question, "Have you learned acting before?"
Lin Yanran had sensed the other party's hostility towards her in "The Incredible Journey", so now that she saw him trying to trick her, she didn't tell the truth.
“I came here to learn because I had never learned it before.”
Wang Zhen smiled.
He agreed, "Indeed, there are many seniors here, and I should be able to learn a lot."
But what I was thinking was that if I couldn’t act at that time and was mocked by the audience and controlled by fans, that wouldn’t be of much use.
After all the guests arrived, they waited for about twenty minutes before the staff came to inform them that the recording was about to begin.
Then everyone sat down in their seats and looked at the broadcast screen in front of them.
Before the screenwriters came on stage, the host first introduced the four mentors.
The first two mentors are both domestically and internationally renowned film emperors and actresses, Yu Tianyi and Zhao Yaqi respectively.
The last two mentors are also well-known directors, Guo Fang and Qi Zhenxu.
The names of these four people are all heavyweights with representative works. Even if you mention them to your parents' generation, their names are very famous.
The program team had not previously announced the full lineup of mentors.
Now that it is being shown directly, the guest performers watching the live broadcast, especially the young actors and those who have never acted before, feel extremely stressed.
If I were to act under the noses of these big guys and ruin the script without some real skills, I don't know how badly I would be criticized.
Especially Guo Fang, a young and talented director, but he is famous for his sharp tongue.
Lin Yanran heard Hong Huixue briefly mention it to him, but he didn't know exactly how poisonous it was.
But soon when the screenwriters appeared one by one and drew their first round of assessment topics, he realized how venomous and unique the other party was.
The screenwriter is very good at talking.
He said: "You're telling so many fancy tricks to deceive ghosts. Please write a script for me on the spot."
The screenwriter shows off his resume.
He said: "You listed such a long paragraph of your representative works, which made my eyes hurt, but the key point is that I haven't heard any of them."
The judges fucked up their own character.
He retorted: "Writing a script is like falling in love? You can't write it without falling in love?"
Some of the contestants and on-site judges who had not yet figured out their own attitude and position were left speechless by him.
After confronting three people in a row, a younger screenwriter came on stage.
The screenwriter is called Sun Hangyi, and the program team introduced him as follows:
[Most anticipated new screenwriter]
[Good at suspense and criminal investigation themes]
[The future is promising]
Guo Fang was probably tired from arguing with others just now, so he was drinking water and taking a rest. He didn't say anything the whole time and listened carefully to Sun Hangyi's introduction.
After listening for a few minutes, he became a little impatient and waved his hand, urging Sun Hangyi, "Okay, draw a question."
Sun Hang knew this ancestor's temper, so he didn't say anything and went straight to draw a question from the question bank.
The first major category extracted is: [Love Script] [Ancient]
The guests and judges at the scene couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing this.
Sun Hangyi seemed to be prepared, so he remained calm and had a calm expression on his face.
Then he drew a second question.
【Dog blood】
Sun Hangyi didn't say anything, but his expression was a little stiff.
He pressed the button again and drew his last proposition.
【be】
Love, melodrama, be.
With all the elements in place, everyone laughed even louder.
A female editor who had drawn a criminal investigation topic laughed and shouted, "Why didn't you give me this topic~"
Sun Hang on the stage didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and made a joke, "Then I'll switch with you."
This proposition is very unfriendly to Sun Hangyi and is considered the worst case scenario.
However, as a screenwriter, he is not good at it but he can still handle it.
"Then please let Sun Hang pick his own guest performer."
The guest performers couldn’t choose themselves, so Sun Hangyi just picked one at random without thinking anything of it.
The first one is a male actor in his thirties. His acting skills are not top-notch, but they are adequate.
Sun Hang felt that he had good luck, so he immediately drew the second guest.
Five seconds later, Lin Yanran's face appeared on the big screen.
At first, Lin Yanran wondered if the program crew had made a mistake.
But when I heard the host invite me to the stage, I was sure that I was not wrong.
This system assigned two male actors to Sun Hangyi's romance drama! !
The frail Sun Hang felt a black screen before his eyes when he saw Lin Yan.
What else could this melodramatic love drama starring two men be?
Isn't it just a gay drama? !
And they even picked someone who had never acted before to play the role...
Lin Yanran walked onto the stage and stood with the male actor in front of her with a smile.
Probably because she was in love with Gu Siye, Lin Yanran was not averse to this subject matter and didn’t think it had anything to do with it.
But the screenwriter and actor around him were so embarrassed that they wanted to leave the stage.
The program team had not anticipated this situation when they were setting up the program. Now they suddenly discovered that the combination was so flawed, so someone suggested changing a female actress.
Sun Hangyi also agreed with this decision very much, and looked at Lin Yanran apologetically.
"How about Teacher Yanran..."
Lin Yanran saw that the other party was dissatisfied with him, and he didn't want to force him, so he gave him a way out and nodded.
However, before Sun Hangyi finished speaking, Guo Fang raised the microphone and frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I see the program team positioned you as the most anticipated screenwriter, but this stumped you? If you can't even write an essay on a given topic, I think you should just go home and stop working."
Guo Fang's response immediately won the approval of many judges.
The other mentors also felt that the blind audition was meant to test the screenwriter's ability to deal with different situations. If the rules were changed so easily, it would be unfair to others.
So Sun Hangyi could only accept it with a mask of pain on his face.
After such a dramatic grouping, Lin Yanran stayed in Sun Hangyi's group.
After recording the show, he left directly.
The filming of his play will not start right away because they have to wait for Sun Hang to finish writing the script.
Lin Yanran plans to use this time to make up for her shortcomings.
Unexpectedly, the next day he found out that the male guest who was acting with him was so afraid of filming homosexual themes that he quit the role.
