Chapter 69: Voices from the Entertainment Industry - Passerby A (Part 1)



Jiang Yue was lying on a 200-square-meter bed contemplating life. She never expected that the feeling of voluntarily leaving and naturally dying would be exactly the same. If she had to describe the feeling, it would be that she felt nothing at all. She would wake up in a new world. Once Jiang Yue was fully awake, 8888 would transfer her memories to her.

Jiang Yue is a somewhat famous singer in this world. She lost both her parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. When she went to university, she sang a song at the opening ceremony and was subsequently spotted by Guagua Entertainment Company, which invited her to join the company. At first, the original owner thought it was a scam, until Guagua Company had a lawyer and a teacher accompany her and explained the contract in detail, which put her at ease.

Although the contract was for ten years with an 80/20 split, there was a guaranteed monthly salary of 2,500 yuan, and the profit-sharing ratio was promised to be adjusted in the future. Tuition fees were also covered. The original owner thought about it and figured she wasn't worth being scammed for, especially since she'd get a base salary. So she signed without hesitation, thinking, "It doesn't matter if I don't become famous. I'll just do nothing and earn 2,500 yuan from you every month for free."

For the first four years after joining Guagua Entertainment, I was studying at school. During winter and summer vacations, I would occasionally sing. Then, the company would give me some supporting roles in film and television. In the year I graduated, I released an original song, a campus folk song called "My Deskmate," which was the same song with the same title but a different melody that Jiang Yue remembered.

Although it wasn't as good as the song Jiang Yue remembered, it wasn't bad either. It was released during graduation season, and the timing made it a hit. Combined with Jiang Yue's good looks and the image of a talented woman, it became an instant sensation with a move that even professionals couldn't understand. How popular? With an 80/20 split with the company, Jiang Yue already had over a million yuan in savings.

This time, the company had just taken on a commercial performance. Jiang Yue had just finished the event and was resting at the hotel when she received a call from her agent. The agent said that the company might re-sign a contract with her during the Chinese New Year, and the new contract might split the profits 70/30. The original owner of this body was so happy that she just died, and Jiang Yue transmigrated into this world.

Jiang Yue scratched her head, feeling incredibly unlucky: "8888, let's teleport to the world storyline."

Wang Jiyue transmigrated into a book, becoming an obscure, scandal-ridden female celebrity. She was also bound to a gossip system. When she participated in a variety show, the other guests discovered they could hear Wang Jiyue's thoughts. Thus began a series of events where Wang Jiyue and the system happily ate gossip, while various guests' scandals were exposed one after another. In the end, the show became a litmus test for the entertainment industry. In the very end, the story ends with the female lead and the male lead, Fu Linjin, living happily ever after.

Jiang Yue didn't interrupt this time, afraid of encountering the same awkward situation as in the previous world. After listening to 8888's explanation, she relaxed a bit. Fortunately, there were no unexpected twists: "8888, how good is the female lead's gossip system? Will she know about what happened to us in other worlds?"

"No, the 'Gossip System' is an avatar of the Heavenly Dao. It can only know what is happening in this world. It won't know about other worlds. Host, you don't need to worry about us being discovered. We are a legitimate system with an agreement with the Heavenly Dao. As long as you don't do anything that harms the world itself, it won't interfere. Besides, you don't have the ability to harm the world right now."

Jiang Yue understood, so she decided to do the same as in other worlds. After getting up, she took a shower, disguised herself, and went out. In this life, Jiang Yue didn't plan to do anything else but continue being a singer. Jiang Yue had a lot of songs, novels, and movie scripts in her space, and she had also been trained in singing and acting skills, so it was a good match for her major. The main reason was that the previous ancient world was a bit too depressing, and she wanted to live a carefree life in this world.

Jiang Yue almost got recognized while eating out, but luckily she ran fast enough. After that incident, she didn't dare to wander around anymore, so she bought some snacks and went back to the hotel. One good thing about this world is that the entertainment works are different from those in the previous world. The important thing is that Jiang Yue can plagiarize songs without any restraint.

The main thing is that there are so many shows I haven't watched yet! Do you know how lucky I am?! I've watched all the shows stored in Jiang Yue's space in the ancient world! There's not a single one left, do you know how terrifying that is?! So the first thing Jiang Yue did when she got back to the hotel was to go to Haixi to find someone to download movies, TV series, and novels for her, regardless of the era or country, as long as they were classics. In the end, it cost her more than 200,000 yuan. The main problem was that hard drives were still quite expensive at that time, and Jiang Yue couldn't wait for the price to drop.

After paying, the shop assistant immediately said that big customers would be given priority, and he would turn down other business to focus on collecting the hard drives for Jiang Yue. He even drove to deliver all the hard drives to Jiang Yue himself, because he was worried that if a bunch of hard drives were sent to a courier company, they might get damaged during transportation.

After finishing this task, Jiang Yue lay on the bed, took out her phone, found a popular drama, and prepared to start watching it. She had just opened the first episode and hadn't even started watching when her agent, Aunt Qing, called. Jiang Yue quickly put down her chips and answered the phone: "Jiang Yue! Didn't I tell you to stay at the hotel and wait for your assistant to come? How dare you sneak out on your own? Do you know you're famous now? Check the news and you're trending on social media."

"Aunt Qing~, I was just a little hungry and didn't want to order takeout, so I ate something instead. Besides, I ran really fast, how could he have recognized me?"

Hearing Jiang Yue's coquettish words, Zhao Qing couldn't bring herself to scold her harshly: "Oh, I'm scared of you. Now that you're famous, you have to be careful wherever you go. Besides, you have a lot of fans now, and some extreme fans might do something irrational. Once your assistant and driver arrive, immediately change hotels, understand?"

Jiang Yue clicked her tongue. She knew that she should listen to professionals in this kind of thing: "Aunt Qing, I remember. I'll pack my things right away and move when the others arrive."

"Okay, listen to me~ Remember I won't hurt you. Once you've been in this industry for a while, you'll understand that being careful is always necessary. Pay close attention to the messages in the group chat. That's where your driver and assistant are. The driver is a retired female soldier, and the assistant is a recent college graduate. The company doesn't have a suitable replacement right now, so they had to hire someone new for you. Newcomers are bound to be less thorough, so please be understanding."

"The vehicle is a newly purchased RV from the company, and it's exclusively for you. Although our company is small, the boss is very generous and has taken great care of the details. So, feel free to use it without any worries. Okay, I'm busy here, so I'll stop here for today. Contact me anytime if you need anything. Bye!"

"Okay, Aunt Qing, bye-bye~"

Aunt Qing was the agent assigned to Guagua by her company. In the past few years, Jiang Yue was busy with her studies and didn't have much contact with Aunt Qing. Jiang Yue didn't take the initiative to contact her much. Aunt Qing would call her when she had free time to check on her life. It wasn't until after graduation that the two of them had more contact.
