Chapter 1014: The Death of a Star (Part 1)



Zhang Yiling sat in front of the TV, counting down the update time with others with great interest.

"Aren't you going back?" Zhou Yiyang suddenly asked.

"Brother Yang," Zhang Yiling's voice suddenly became delicate. She winked at Zhou Yiyang and said, "Do you really want me to leave?"

Ling Hu was laughing as he watched from the side, and he leaned over to Luo Chen's ear and whispered, "Do you feel that Zhang Yiling's attitude towards our CEO Zhou is a little different?"

"What are you thinking about all day long?" Luo Chen peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth. "Zhang Yiling is not even an adult yet. Her feelings towards Mr. Zhou are just those of a brother."

"You'd still say that," Ling Hu shrugged, "You're always ready to stand on your moral high ground and look down on me!"

Zhou Yiyang completely ignored Zhang Yiling's poor acting skills in front of him and said seriously, "I'm not rushing you. It's the teacher who wants you to focus and go back to study."

Speaking of Zhang Yingyuan, Zhang Yiling calmed down and pursed her lips reluctantly: "Okay, I'll book the ticket tomorrow."

"I've already booked a ticket for you," Zhou Yiyang said reassuringly, "I'll drive you there tomorrow."

Tang Yue joked, "Hey, if you ask me, Yiling, you should just give up your studies and become a star like the rest of us. I heard that with 'Léon: The Professional,' you're a sure thing to win a Best Newcomer Award. With this starting point, you'll have no problem making it in the entertainment industry."

However, Zhang Yiling insisted on this issue: "Sister Tangtang, I know you want me to take it easy. But I still want to pursue my dream. I prefer directing to being an actor."

"Then you have to study even harder," Zhou Yiyang said seriously. "When you graduate, I'll invest in your first movie. Don't let me lose all my money."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Yiling said happily.

Lin Xuan'er was deeply moved after hearing this: "That's great! Working tirelessly for your dreams!"

Just as Su Yin was about to speak, she heard their singing suddenly coming from the originally quiet TV.

It turned out that the update of "Asian Horror Stories" was playing automatically.

Wang Xingrui, who was sitting upright, coughed, as if to hint to everyone to concentrate on watching the show, after all, she was the heroine in this episode.

But without Wang Xingrui's reminder, everyone had already straightened up and stared at the screen intently.

At the same time, in a small village in the mountain city, a group of young people gathered together to watch TV.

Many of them have never seen Wang Xingrui, but they all know that Wang Xingrui is the pride of their village and a big star who came out of here.

They know Wang Xingrui's works better than anyone else.

"Sister Xingrui is actually acting this time. I'm looking forward to it!"

"Sister Xingrui is not only good at singing, but she's also a good actress. We just need to watch her!"

"This beginning doesn't seem too scary!"

A black and white image appeared on the screen, showing Qiao Zishan, wearing a Western-style palace dress, dancing with a white man with a high nose.

This looks like a dubbed film that came in from abroad in the 1960s.

"Xu Yue! What are you doing? Why are you not sleeping properly and watching a movie?"

The picture instantly returned to color, and it turned out that the characters in the play were watching TV.

Wang Xingrui plays Xu Yue, dressed in a non-mainstream style. She sits on a bed with the sheets covered in potato chip crumbs. If it weren't for her good looks, she would probably be the heroine with the worst first impression in this drama.

"I understand, Sister Niu! I'll go to sleep right away!"

Xu Yue didn't turn off the TV, but just turned down the volume a little.

Then she tore off a piece of paper and wrote the key points of acting on it.

The next day, Xu Yue sat in the back seat of the car and went to the TV station.

Sitting in the passenger seat was his agent, played by none other than Xiao Li.

"Sister Niu said you stayed up late again last night." Xiao Li's face, made of special makeup, suddenly looked much older, like a man in his thirties. "Did you forget you had a performance today?"

"Anyway, no one here is my fan," Xu Yue said nonchalantly, "No one likes a rock girl like me."

"Are you implying that I was too discerning to sign you?" the agent joked. "Oh, by the way, didn't you ask me to look up Huang Xiaoyin's information earlier? Here it is."

Xu Yue took the thin pieces of paper and looked surprised: "That's all?"

"Yeah," the agent pulled out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. "She was an actress from decades ago, and she wasn't very famous, so it's hard to find information about her. So, why are you suddenly interested in her?"

"I happened to see one of her movies the other day," Xu Yue said, browsing through the files intently. "I became interested. She's quite beautiful, so why doesn't anyone know her?"

"In that era, almost no artist who went abroad to develop their careers made a name for themselves. I looked around, and it seems like she only played supporting roles in a few old American movies."

"She became famous later!" Xu Yue's voice was filled with surprise. "Look, it says on it. In 1996, she starred in an American TV series and became an instant hit. She became the most popular Chinese actress in Hollywood at that time."

"Really?" The agent was also surprised. After getting the information, he just glanced at it roughly and didn't look at it carefully.

"Well," Xu Yue suddenly sighed, "She filmed a lot of movies that year. I thought she was about to reach the peak of her career, but who knew that in the spring of the following year, she committed suicide by taking poison at home."

The agent repeated the sins over and over again before saying, "This is really unlucky. Where are the movies she filmed?"

"They were replaced by other actors, or the show was not broadcast. So she was just a flash in the pan in Hollywood, and no one in China knows her anymore." Xu Yue murmured.

"She died in 1997, 18 years ago." The agent sighed, "Does she have any descendants? Speaking of which, it's a bit unbelievable that you can still see her movies 18 years later!"

"No, she never married and had no children in her life." Xu Yue put the information aside and walked into the TV station.

As usual, she was just a guest to warm up the audience. When she was performing, most of the seats in the audience were empty because they had gone to the bathroom.

Those who didn't go to the bathroom just looked at their phones and no one paid any attention to her.

Fortunately, Xu Yue has gotten used to it.

When she got home, she opened a search engine and the result pushed to her was "A List of Unknown Beauties in the Entertainment Industry".

She saw Huang Xiaoyin again.

Why does Huang Xiaoyin in this photo look a little different from the one she saw in the old movie?

Xu Yue couldn't contain her curiosity after all, and began searching online for information about Huang Xiaoyin.

In this way, she followed the clues and found a personal blog that had not been updated for several years.
