Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xia Muge and Zhao Sichun met up for dinner again.
"I never expected you to be so amazing. Now I'm not good enough for you."
Zhao Sichun looked at Xia Muge and said with great emotion.
If Xia Muge was just an unknown actor when they ate together last time, he is now famous.
The variety show "The Taste of Life" was actually quite successful.
At least Xia Muge gained a lot of fans from variety shows.
The production team approached him to film three episodes of this variety show, each featuring him experiencing a different profession.
It could be said that it is precisely because of these conflicts between professions that Xia Muge has amassed a large number of fans.
Whether he experiences being an office worker, a food delivery driver, or a construction worker, he provides plenty of interesting perspectives.
Xia Muge has a strong sense of variety show appeal, and some fans can't help but fall in love with his face.
Under these circumstances, it's normal for Xia Muge to gain more followers.
In contrast, there is Gu Yu.
Gu Yu suggested ending the show after the second episode was recorded.
After the first episode was recorded, he felt his own inadequacy.
In the second episode, he almost got into a car accident because he was a food delivery driver. Although he was fine in the end, he still didn't continue filming.
Left with no other option, the production team had to terminate the contract with them.
Of course, on the surface it was just a contract termination, but in reality, Gu Yu was removed from the variety show circle.
After that, apart from some music-related variety shows, Gu Yu was basically no longer considered for other programs.
Consequently, Gu Yu's luck has decreased, and he currently has only a little luck left.
This luck score makes Gu Yu still a favorite of the heavens.
It's just that this darling is no longer perfect in the eyes of others.
In contrast to Xia Muge's smooth sailing, Zhao Sichun's journey has been much more difficult.
She lost a role because she refused a counselor's advances.
Although the absence of this role may not seem to have a significant impact, there are far more female stars than male stars in the entertainment industry.
A role is equivalent to an opportunity.
Zhao Sichun has also tried to get involved in online variety shows recently, but nothing has really taken off.
She is actually 22 years old now. Although she is at the prime of her life, in the Chinese entertainment industry, such an age advantage is being rapidly leveled off.
The main problem is that not many people remember her face.
Xia Muge looked at Zhao Sichun and said, "Your luck just hasn't arrived yet. You'll soon be soaring to great heights."
Zhao Sichun gave a wry smile: "I'm not actually afraid of you laughing at me, I'm almost at the point of falling out with my family."
People in the entertainment industry are just glamorous.
Including her now.
Although she is now debt-free, she spends all her earnings on clothes and skincare products, while her family urgently needs 100,000 yuan, which she cannot afford.
Therefore, her family believed that after studying for so many years, she wanted to abandon them.
Her previous income was proof that she was wealthy.
But unfortunately, she has no money right now.
It can only be said that the lack of information almost killed her.
She looked at Xia Muge and said, "I need to work now, you should understand what I mean."
Xia Muge gave a wry smile and nodded: "Yes, of course I understand."
Zhao Sichun's need for online traffic is less about needing work and more about needing exposure.
The current way to gain traffic is to rehash scandals with others.
However, Xia Muge was on the rise at this time.
He gave a wry smile: "Given my current situation..."
He's currently experiencing a surge in popularity, and he's not even twenty yet.
If there are rumors, it will be extremely damaging to one's work.
At this point, Xia Muge was naturally unwilling.
However, Zhao Sichun did indeed help him.
He thought for a moment and said, "Given my current situation, it's difficult for me to personally generate traffic for you. However, I know a director whose film crew is currently preparing for a project that lacks a female lead, and she fits your image quite well. You could give it a try."
Zhao Sichun's eyes lit up: "Thank you, I really need this kind of job right now."
Although it's not about hyping up a relationship, having even one opportunity is already a hard-won one for her right now.
She remarked with emotion, "Seeing how successful you are now, it really makes you realize that there's no harm without comparison."
Xia Muge, however, did not know what to say about this.
All he could say was, "These things are hard to predict. Don't be fooled by my seemingly successful life now; it's really nothing special."
He paused, then changed the subject, saying, "There are too many ups and downs in the entertainment industry."
"Yes, but I believe you will definitely make a name for yourself. Don't forget me when that happens."
The female celebrity looked at Xia Muge and spoke earnestly.
...
While Xia Muge and Zhao Sichun were drinking and chatting, Gu Yu was also smiling obsequiously at different people on the other side.
Gu Yu finally joined the film crew.
However, this film crew was not the one that Xu Yuanyuan had painstakingly arranged.
In fact, the production crew replaced the actor because Gu Yu couldn't bend down.
Later, Gu Yu discovered that no matter how he sang online, he no longer had any casual listeners besides his fans.
It seems like his songs are being throttled.
Of course, truly good songs are not afraid of being restricted in terms of traffic. The problem is that Gu Yu's current company simply does not have the ability to manage these songs.
The era of gold records is over.
It was also an era where you could make a fortune just by holding concerts.
Although Gu Yu cultivates a persona of musical genius, he is actually very anxious inside and wants money.
Therefore, he could only humbly submit in the end, secretly vowing that one day when he achieved success, he would make these people kneel before him.
Gu Yu's groveling was effective; after all, he did have a lot of online traffic.
After returning home, he saw a small variety show featuring Xia Muge and became indignant again.
He couldn't understand why Xia Muge, who didn't have a system or any so-called cheat ability, was able to live a better life than him.
Fortunately, he didn't come away empty-handed.
During this period, perhaps in pursuit of more skills and rewards, he pursued more women, including his fans.
Gu Yu used being busy with work and seeking inspiration as an excuse to travel around almost everywhere, and then have affairs with everyone he met.
Although most people don't actually get to the point of physical contact, he still deliberately creates ambiguous scenes, and his flirting skills are quite adept.
And now, someone is trying to chat with him again.
He skillfully picked up his phone, sent a bunch of messages, and then lay on the bed waiting for a reply.
Suddenly, Gu Yu began to ponder: what was the point of doing this?
