Everyone in the crew of "The Immortal Journey" is guessing when Ning Chuchu, a well-known green tea in the entertainment industry, will be kicked out of the crew.
Everyone is secretly looking forward to this day.
"Didn't everyone say that Director Song was planning to replace Ning Chuchu? Why hasn't he made any move yet?"
"Why replace her? Ning Chuchu is one of the most popular actresses now."
"Didn't you watch the love variety show called "Love"? She is just a green tea who seduces and pleases the male guests and squeezes out the female guests. It's so disgusting."
"That's right, she's full of lies and she's very scheming! Thanks to her stepsister, she always finds a way to expose Ning Chuchu's lies, otherwise the male guests on the show would definitely be fooled by that green tea girl!"
"Fortunately, everyone has seen through her true colors. Now the entire Internet is condemning her. The entry 'Ning Chuchu quits the entertainment industry' has been on the top of the list for almost a week. I think she will not be able to make it any further. Director Song will definitely replace her for the sake of the popularity of this drama."
"I hope she can get out of the crew as soon as possible. Every time I see her fake smile, I feel disgusted."
"What a pity. Ning Chuchu's acting is very good. I think she played this role very well."
"Haha, because the character she played was a white lotus green tea girl in the early stage! Ning Chuchu played her true self, how could she not act well?"
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn their gazes slightly and secretly look in a certain direction. This statement... seems to make some sense?
Not far away, various cameras and staff were surrounding, with the focus being on a woman in white in the center.
"Brother... have you been lying to me all this time?" The woman in white fell to the ground, her face pale and blood oozing from her lips.
She had an extremely beautiful face with delicate and bright features. She should have had a bold and gorgeous look, but she bit her lips lightly and had a sad look in her eyes, which diluted the aggressiveness of her face. Coupled with the small teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye, she showed a heartbreaking fragility.
Those eyes, as clear and moving as autumn water, were covered with a layer of mist, as if containing thousands of words.
Just one look is enough to make people fall in love with her.
People who watched her secretly and openly could not help but sigh. Regardless of whether she was acting as herself or not, Ning Chuchu really brought to life a delicate and charming white lotus. With her looks, it was no wonder that she could coax people around with her clever words.
If she hadn't revealed her true colors on that romance variety show, Ning Chuchu would probably still be the most popular female star.
Everyone in the crew had different thoughts. They looked at Ning Chuchu with the mentality of watching the excitement, but Ning Chuchu, as the focus, looked calm.
At least on the surface, this female star who has recently caused a lot of controversy has always maintained an elegant and gentle demeanor in front of people, as delicate and charming as a water lotus.
"Sister Ning, are you tired? Can I massage your shoulders for you?"
"Yeah." Ning Chuchu had just finished filming a scene and was sitting aside to rest. She was enjoying the massage service of her female assistant while slowly flipping through the script in her hand, looking diligent and hardworking.
"Chu Chu, why are you working so hard?" Someone approached with a smile.
Ning Chuchu looked up and saw the popular actress Liu Mei, who played the leading female role, talking to her with a smile. She looked very enthusiastic, but Ning Chuchu could see the schadenfreude and contempt in her eyes at a glance.
Ning Chuchu closed the script and smiled her signature gentle smile, "Sister Liu."
Liu Mei unceremoniously sat down next to Ning Chuchu, pretending to care about her, but her words pierced into people's hearts, "Chuchu, I heard that people on the Internet are scolding you recently? Oh, it seems that you have lost two endorsements because of this, right?"
"It's really heartbreaking. If your role in this drama is gone..." Liu Mei glanced at her flipping through the script and said meaningfully, "Wouldn't all your efforts now be in vain?"
Ning Chuchu seemed to be completely unaware of the malice implied in Liu Mei's words.
She lowered her eyes, pursed her red lips, and her slightly shy expression gave her a stunning charm. She said softly, "I'm young anyway, I can afford to waste time, and I should work harder. Even if there is no result in the end, it will definitely help me improve."
The corners of her mouth, which were filled with sarcasm, froze, and the pride in her eyes also froze.
The words "I'm young" made her feel very uncomfortable.
She has been in the industry for many years, so she is not young, but her acting skills are average and her range of roles is a bit narrow. Until now, she is still playing roles like the silly and sweet Marilyn Sue. To this end, she often markets her girlish image and has secretly changed her age twice.
Age is something that has always bothered her, but Ning Chuchu insisted on bringing it up in front of her.
Looking at her innocent eyes, Liu Mei gritted her teeth in hatred.
Here she goes again! Ning Chuchu is used to acting weak and innocent, but her words are extremely choking, and she often fools others around, making her want to tear off her hypocritical mask every time!
Liu Mei was very unhappy and even didn't bother to pretend to be kind. She said, "I heard that Director Song was very dissatisfied with you and was afraid that your scandals would affect the reputation of the crew. He considered replacing you several times."
Ning Chuchu finally got what she wanted. She showed a flustered and sad expression, and begged eagerly, "Really, Sister Liu? Can you help me ask Director Song for mercy? I don't want to lose this role."
Liu Mei's mood suddenly became smooth. How glorious was Ning Chuchu when she first debuted? Suddenly, she snatched away a light luxury endorsement from her, but now she is about to be ruined?
It feels so good to hear someone you hate begging you for help.
Liu Mei was just about to put on airs and tease Ning Chuchu, but she soon couldn't laugh anymore.
"...I know that Director Song has always valued Sister Liu the most and he personally instructs Sister Liu every night. So, Sister Liu, you must say a few good words for me." Ning Chuchu's face was still pleading, but a hint of coldness flashed in her big and narrow peach blossom eyes.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's expression changed drastically and she stared at Ning Chuchu in surprise and suspicion, trying to find clues from her face.
There's something behind Ning Chuchu's words... Could it be that she has discovered the relationship between herself and Director Song?
Liu Mei stared at Ning Chuchu intently, but she seemed to be complimenting her, which made Liu Mei a little unsure. She frowned and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Director Song and I don't have much of a personal relationship."
Ning Chuchu secretly mocked in her heart, but nodded obediently: "I know. Sister Liu, you have always been clean and have always kept a distance from the men in the circle."
Ning Chuchu's beautiful face was slightly frowned, and her tearful look was really lovable, but her willow brows looked very greasy.
In addition to her "girlish" look, professionalism and not falling in love are also labels she often promotes. Ning Chuchu was obviously right and looked sincere, but Liu Mei could hear a hint of sarcasm in her words.
She had come to see Ning Chuchu's jokes, but she ended up being unhappy. Moreover, she always suspected that Ning Chuchu knew about her relationship with Director Song and was threatening her in a subtle way. Liu Mei suddenly lost her interest in gloating, forced a smile and said a few perfunctory words, then quickly left.
Ning Chuchu's lips curved slightly, and she smiled gently and shyly, watching Liu Mei leave. Only when she could no longer see him did her lips drop, and a trace of disdain and disgust appeared on her face.
What kind of demons and monsters want to step on her? She is not someone who can be easily bullied.
"Sister Ning..." the young assistant standing behind her called out in a low voice, somewhat helplessly.
Ning Chuchu quickly adjusted her expression, patted her hands kindly, and said softly, "It's okay, continue to massage my shoulders, thank you for your hard work."
The young assistant was refreshed and continued to serve her beautiful employer diligently.
Late night, hotel.
Ning Chuchu had just finished her shower and was lying lazily on the bed in her bathrobe. She had a graceful figure, slightly damp black hair, a blank expression on her pretty face, and a cold look in her eyes.
This cold, arrogant look is quite different from her usual gentle and delicate "green tea" image.
She quickly browsed through the many insults against her on the Internet, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.
Ning Chuchu supported her forehead with her slender white fingers, and her eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
She originally joined the romance variety show called "Love in Destiny" in order to create a CP to increase popularity. With her skills, even if she doesn't stand out, she won't be derailed and become the "green tea" that everyone hates.
But all this was so inexplicable that Ning Chuchu didn't even have time to react before her reputation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Of course, she couldn't just accept her fate and she has been looking for ways to restore her popularity among travelers recently.
Their reputation plummeted, their endorsements were snatched away, and they might even lose their roles in dramas, not to mention the overt and covert ridicule from others. If other stars had experienced all this, they would probably have collapsed mentally long ago.
But Ning Chuchu can appear in front of others without changing her expression, and easily avoid the ridicule or difficulties of others. No one can see her without saying a word. It shows that she has a strong psychological quality.
However...
Ning Chuchu suddenly turned around and looked deeply at the wall against which her bed was pressed. The other room across the wall was Liu Mei's residence.
Ning Chuchu sneered. Liu Mei had better not provoke her again, otherwise...
The next day, the crew of "The Long Journey to Immortality", which had just started filming a few days ago, decided to hold a press conference.
The director, the financing representative and the leading actors took their seats one by one, and opposite them sat the reporters carrying guns and holding microphones.
Compared to Liu Mei, who was dressed up, Ning Chuchu, who played the second female lead, was extremely low-key. She only wore a simple white dress, and her long, thick, black and shiny hair, like seaweed, was loosely draped over her shoulders.
She actually has a very aggressive and delicate appearance, but this light and natural dress, as well as her gentle and soft expression, just conceals the intensity of her appearance, revealing a kind of light and delicate feeling.
Ning Chuchu had just sat down when a strange mechanical sound suddenly rang in her mind.
"Target person Ning Chuchu detected... System is binding... Ding, binding successful!"
“The truth system is working for you.”
Ning Chuchu was slightly startled, and her heart suddenly rose. She looked around calmly, but everyone else looked normal, as if they didn't hear the strange mechanical sound.
Was it an auditory hallucination? Ning Chuchu wasn't sure.
She was somewhat concerned about this so-called "system" and "binding", but the press conference was about to begin, and she didn't have the extra energy to get to the bottom of it. Ning Chuchu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she temporarily put the strange mechanical sound behind her, preparing to concentrate on the press conference.
Ning Chuchu didn't want to be in the spotlight, so she tried to reduce her presence, but the media didn't want to let her go.
"Ms. Ning, your stepsister came out to defend you not long ago, saying that you often don't lie intentionally, but just habitually show your best side to the audience. What do you think of this?"
"Your step-sister said that you were ignorant when you were a child and often targeted her. Is that true?"
"After only one episode of Love Is War aired, your reputation has plummeted. Will you continue to participate in this romance variety show?"
…
Ning Chuchu was given a headache by their noise and felt extremely irritated. However, she had to maintain a decent and elegant posture in front of the camera and not show any dissatisfaction.
Ning Chuchu had seen a lot of storms before, so she was not panicked when asked such a harsh and unreasonable question. She just planned to fool people with some true and false words as she did before. In short, she would never give people any chance to talk about her.
However, before Ning Chuchu could respond, Liu Mei spoke first: "Some things...please don't ask questions knowing the answer and poke at Chuchu's wounds. She has been having a hard time recently and her complexion has turned bad. Reporters, please be gentler."
Liu Meiduan had a gentle and considerate look, seemingly protecting Ning Chuchu, but Ning Chuchu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
“Asking even though you know the answer”?
Before she had the chance to clarify certain rumors, Liu Mei simply acknowledged that what the reporters said was right?
Ning Chuchu was very annoyed by Liu Mei's secret targeting of her. Unfortunately, she hooked up with Director Song, and Ning Chuchu didn't want to lose the role, so she couldn't break up with her.
Ning Chuchu leaned closer to the microphone, put on a business smile, and said politely: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Liu. Is my complexion really that bad? That may be because..."
Ning Chuchu was just about to get away with it as usual when an accident suddenly happened.
The long-silent system mechanical sound reappeared: "Beep! The host has detected the intention to lie, and the truth system officially starts the forced correction procedure——"
Ning Chuchu's mind went blank and she couldn't control her words.
"Maybe it's because Sister Liu and Director Song make too much noise when they're making love every night, which keeps me awake, so my complexion has turned bad."
Everyone: “…F*ck!”
Ning Chuchu: “……?!”
Help!!!
