Upon receiving instructions from backstage, the host quickly approached Xu Yanyu and said, "Alright, the mentors have already asked our contestant quite a few questions."
"We're short on time, so please welcome the third group of contestants to the stage."
Upon hearing the implication in her words, Xu Yanyu knew that she could step down and rest.
At the same time, backstage, when Chu Lina heard her mentor Wei excitedly call out her name, her face didn't look good.
"What's the deal with this Wei Li? Didn't I chat with him at the V family's gem banquet before?"
We've dealt with each other privately before, how could he be mistaking me for someone else?
At this moment, Chulina had already taken off her mask, revealing a face with heavy makeup.
I don't know if it was because the clothes were too thick, or if she was in a bad mood.
She unbuttoned the collar of her white dress, revealing a patch of fair and tender flesh.
"Lina, although you met at the same banquet, you didn't have much opportunity to get to know each other better afterward. It's normal for him to mistake her for someone else."
Otherwise, who would be at ease worrying about someone as insightful as Lina?
The agent gently comforted Chulina.
"I don't know who this sexy cockroach is, she's even more attention-seeking than me," Xu Lina said angrily.
The agent advised, "Don't pay attention to this kind of person. He's been in the industry for five years and is still unknown. He only became famous because of 'Masked Singer.' He probably isn't good-looking, maybe even ugly. Don't take this kind of person to heart."
“You’re right, just an unknown nobody. ‘Immortal Gate’ will be released soon, so I’d better set aside more time to help Director Zhang promote the film.”
Chulina extended her red gel polished nails and casually swiped her phone.
"You don't need to worry about the promotion of 'Immortal Gate'. You still need to perform well on 'Masked Singer'. Now that the show is a huge hit, many brands are paying attention to it."
If you perform well, you might get a few more endorsements. By the way, Mr. Sun invited you to dinner on Sunday; I'll have the stylist meet you then.
"General Manager Sun? That fat pig? I think that guy who just joined the company..."
Chulina's face showed disgust, and she couldn't help but refuse.
"Lina! Mr. Sun is going to invest in a new film. Are you going to give the opportunity to a newcomer?"
The agent's face darkened, and his voice rose.
"I might have my period on Sunday..."
Chu Lina said unwillingly.
"What about the birth control pills? Take them tonight when you get home! Take them for several days in a row."
"That's how this industry is. If you don't climb up, there are plenty of people waiting behind you, wanting to pull you down and trample you under their feet."
Seeing that Chu Lina was still very unhappy, the agent said earnestly.
Chu Lina looked annoyed. "I know, I know!"
"That's right. Think about Xu Yanyu, how beautiful she is! But is being beautiful useful?"
Without resources, you're nothing. There are plenty of good-looking people in this industry; beauty is the least valuable thing.
So you see, she owes the company money now and can only pay it off through live streaming.
Do you remember how you mocked her back then? You need to step up and improve, otherwise, the newcomers will be the ones throwing those kinds of comments in your face.
The agent made a pointed remark.
"I remember! I'm not as stupid as Xu Yanyu."
Chulina revealed her jealousy and anger.
Yes, she admitted that she was jealous of Xu Yanyu.
They all joined the company at the same time, and Xu Yanyu, still a newcomer, received an opportunity to film a movie.
It's just because Xu Yanyu has an extra face.
What a beautiful face.
She could only climb up the ladder through her own efforts, and her current success is entirely due to her willingness to go all out.
Chu Lina recalled the incredulous expression on Xu Yanyu's face when she received the opportunity to film "The Immortal Gate".
What did she say at the time?
She pointed at Xu Yanyu's nose and berated her, "I hate it when you stand on your moral high ground and look down on people."
You may have become aloof and pure, but you've still been eliminated. To climb the ladder, you have to follow the rules.
"Fool! Go ahead and cling to your sanctimonious purity for the rest of your life."
Yes, the agent is right.
She worked so hard to get to where she is today, and she absolutely cannot let go of the opportunities that belong to her.
She put down her phone and said to her agent, "Ms. Sun likes a nude gold fitted long dress. Have the stylist choose an outfit based on that."
"Also, please prepare a V-brand tie for me, in red. V-brand ties are quite soft and won't feel tight. Red suits my skin tone, and Mr. Sun will like it."
"I've run out of birth control pills. Order two boxes now and have them delivered to my door tonight."
"Lina, I knew you were smart. Are two boxes enough? I'll buy you five boxes, Mr. Wang..." The agent was interrupted by an angry look from Chu Lina.
He quickly changed his tune, "Don't worry, I'll do everything you asked me to do. Now, all you need to do is prepare for your performance on stage."
You've been practicing day and night for a week to prepare for the performance. You wouldn't want all your hard work to be in vain, would you?
The agent stood up, picked up a glass of water from the side, and handed it to Chulina.
"Of course not, I'm not that idiot Xu Yanyu."
Don't mention her in front of me again. She's an idiot and doesn't deserve to be compared to me.
"If I had her face, I would have been a top-tier star by now!"
Chulina glanced coldly at her agent before taking the water from his hand.
The agent just smiled and turned his attention back to the big screen.
At this moment on the stage, it was the second contestant from the third group's turn to perform.
