Hiding one's identity to survive in the entertainment industry is not as simple as just nine words.
Shi Lingtong refused the Shi family's support. To show her determination, she even changed her name and moved out of the household registration. She didn't even live in the house her family had bought for her before.
As his life became increasingly difficult, he now lives alone in a remote, low-end neighborhood, where his food, clothing, and shelter are all meager and pitiful.
Later, she started dating a third-tier actor named Gu Yao in the industry, and moved out to live with him.
Although Gu Yao is not very famous, he has good acting skills and is handsome. He is very caring and attentive to Shi Lingtong. Moved by his kindness, Shi Lingtong's feelings for him deepen. When she is in love, she even has the idea of telling him her true identity.
Fortunately, before she could say anything, Shi Lingtong unexpectedly discovered that Gu Yao had actually gotten involved with her manager!
Moreover, the two conspired to get her drunk and send her to the bed of a senior executive in the company, so that Gu Yao could get a supporting role in a big-budget movie!
a bolt from the blue.
Shi Lingtong was completely stunned.
Shi Lingtong is not ugly; in fact, she is extremely beautiful. She also possesses the elegant and noble temperament of a noble lady. When she first appeared on a talent show, she amazed the audience.
Although she ultimately debuted in fifth place based solely on her looks, her manager signed her without hesitation.
The agent's name is Lian Yanyan, who is only five years older than Shi Lingtong and the same age as Gu Yao.
Initially, Lian Yanyan and Shi Lingtong had a good relationship, but as Shi Lingtong's situation worsened, the conflict between them deepened.
The more decisively the agent signed the original owner back then, the more regretful she is now, to the point that all she can say now is mockery of Shi Lingtong.
"Any newcomer with a face like yours would be ambitious, wouldn't they? Even if you're really not capable, you can just drink more, attend more dinner parties, leave an impression on the big shots, join a girl group, act in idol dramas, and become a pretty face. You can still become famous and make money!"
—That's where the contradiction lies.
Although Shi Lingtong was a bit crazy and refused all help from her family, she was still a pampered young lady from a big family and had a strong backbone. She was unwilling to attend dinner parties and drink with a pot-bellied boss.
Without any backing or resources, and having offended many powerful figures by repeatedly refusing dinner invitations, Shi Lingtong found herself increasingly lacking resources and facing limitations everywhere.
She is not good at singing and dancing, nor is she a good actress. She has no outstanding works. The popularity she gained from the talent show gradually faded away. In addition, she had several conflicts with others and was attacked by online trolls hired by those people. Her fans who originally liked her gradually became disappointed and left.
She appears to have 180,000 followers on Weibo, but 175,000 of them are fake followers. When she posts a Weibo, only a small number of die-hard fans still admire her looks.
It perfectly illustrates what it means to be "so obscure as an 18th-tier celebrity".
After discovering that Lian Yan Yan and Gu Yao were hanging out together, Shi Ling Tong was filled with hatred and anger, and impulsively broke off relations with the two of them.
As a result, not only did Yan Yan mock her, but Gu Yao also tore off his gentle mask and sneered at her: "Back then, I pursued you only because I thought you were good-looking and that you could help me once you became famous. But now you're in such a mess that I have to help you. Where do I have the time to do charity?"
Shi Lingtong was dumbfounded: "But you still want to get me drunk and send me to the executive's bed? Gu Yao, have you no shame!"
"If you had any shame, would you be able to survive in this industry? Shi Lingtong, you're already in the entertainment circle, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Do you think resources will be delivered to you if you act like a pure and innocent girl?! I'll give you to Boss Wang so I can get a supporting male role. Consider it the last favor you'll do for me as his girlfriend!"
