Chapter 133 The Nine-Year-Old Missing Star is the Queen of Volumes (16)
Jin Shu smiled.
"Don't use your limited intelligence to judge other people's intelligence."
"You're insulting me? Do you know what happens to people who always boast about their high IQ?"
“I saw it.”
Jin Shu stared at Chen Mianyi, her tone calm.
Xia Ke chimed in from the side.
"Mianyi, don't waste time, okay? Kong Weishang is inside, hurry up."
"What's the point of trying to save her? What's the point of playing an escape room game with someone who manipulates the rules?"
Chenmianyi believed that she would not be ensnared by the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry like the original owner.
She could never sell her personality and dignity for a few taels of silver.
After saying that, Chenmianyi immediately found the camera and shouted something.
"Director, I don't want to record anymore."
The live stream stopped at that moment.
This left countless fans discussing and speculating wildly on the platform.
[What the hell happened? Why did the recording suddenly stop?]
[Didn't Chenmianyi say that Jin Shu manipulated the rules? That means Jin Shu did indeed cheat.]
[Is everything she says true? Where's the evidence? Isn't it irresponsible to just walk away from filming like this?]
[Wow, that's really tough. People in the industry definitely understand things better than us. There must be a reason why she's acting like this, and Jin Shu's behavior is indeed very abnormal.]
Will I still be able to see the full episodes a week later? What will happen to Kong Weishang?
[Xiao Kong will forever remain in that pink room, hahaha, these celebrities are really something, they take the money but don't do anything, they won't even act a little bit.]
The live stream was abruptly ended, and the director, who was already seething with anger, shouted something into the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, come to the control room now!"
Beside the table, Chenmianyi looked at the director with red eyes.
"Who are you trying to fool with all this? You say there's no inside story? Jin Shu is in this state, and you still say there's no inside story?"
The director was so angry he almost laughed. He looked at Chen Mianyi, then at Jin Shu.
He also wanted to know how Jin Shu, who was originally just a mascot, had suddenly become the brains of the group!
"Tell me first, what happened to you?"
Jin Shu leaned back casually in her chair.
"I don't want to pretend anymore. The persona the company assigned to me is problematic and is hindering my future development."
"You've suddenly changed so much, what do you think people will think of you? To be honest, I even suspect that I gave you the questions."
Jin Shu looked completely indifferent.
"So, director, if you want to salvage your reputation, there's another way: you could invite me to try out for another variety show."
Upon hearing this, the director was initially skeptical, but then became interested.
That variety show was entirely a battle of wits, with questions randomly drawn from a pool of 100,000 questions, covering a wide range of topics from astronomy and geography to physics, chemistry, biotechnology, and the origin of species. The questions were randomly selected, leaving no possibility of cheating.
"If you get last place, where will I put my face?"
"So you're doubting my skill level today? You know best whether I cheated or not."
That makes sense.
The director seemed thoughtful, though he felt something was off, like he was being tricked, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The people standing nearby were stunned.
This secured him the most prestigious variety show at the moment.
As Chenmian watched this scene unfold, her chest heaved violently.
In her opinion, the director was openly favoring Jin Shu and giving her an opportunity that others could only dream of!
You know, she had been fighting for this variety show for a long time and finally got a temporary guest status. And Jin Shu just settled it with a few simple words.
"Director, we have no objection to who you want to promote, nor would we dare to. I'm not feeling well today, so I'll be leaving now."
The director suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"The contract is signed, and we'll finish recording today. You can leave if you want, but we can discuss the penalty for breach of contract."
How dare a nobody like him challenge him?
With such a strong physique, why did you still enter the entertainment industry? This industry is specifically for those who are defiant and disobedient.
liquidated damages?
Chenmianyi had never even considered that possibility.
After all, the resources were already secured as soon as she woke up, and she hadn't even seen the contracts.
Ji Cheng, who was standing nearby, whispered a reminder.
"The penalty for breach of contract is several million, alright? Even if you're uncomfortable, just bear with it."
"Why should I tolerate it? A few million is a few million, I'll pay it!"
Chen Mianyi knew that the original owner still had a lot of money in her card, which made her marvel that a female celebrity who was hated by the entire internet could actually save up so much money!
This gave her ample reason to be assertive.
Making money in this industry isn't difficult, is it? Why bother suffering like this here!
The original owner of this body was exploited and driven to suicide by these disgusting people!
Now that she has become a dormant spirit, we must live freely and unrestrained for her, and not let anyone bully her!
At this moment, Jin Shu looked at her and sneered.
"Didn't you say you were saving money to buy a house for your parents in Shanghai?"
"It's none of your business."
After saying that, Chenmianyi left gracefully.
After she left, He Shaoyu didn't say a word more, only leaving behind a single sentence.
"Sorry, I'm also logging out."
With two out of the six people gone, the director was furious. He immediately found two more popular celebrities to fill the gaps and started recording again from the backup location.
"All the equipment in the backup venue is new. We won't be doing a live broadcast this time. Just go through the initial process again and start recording again."
The recording, which was originally scheduled to start in the morning and end in the afternoon, was unexpectedly extended to 7 p.m., making it a full ten hours. After the recording, Xia Ke, Ji Cheng, and the others were so tired that they looked pale and listless.
"Jin Shu, I'm impressed. You really are a genius. Now I truly believe it. If it weren't for you, we probably would have been trapped inside until dawn."
This is a brand new venue.
Some of the rules are still unclear even to the director.
Jin Shu's performance was just as good as the first location. In fact, after Xia Ke complained that she was "exhausted," she sped up the pace and moved the recording, which was scheduled to end in the early hours of the morning, to eight o'clock.
The two new artists kept calling him a "god" the whole time.
After the recording ended, I couldn't wait to add Jin Shu on WeChat.
"Sister Jin is amazing. I hope to work with her sometime in the future."
She's so reliable, calm, composed, and self-controlled. Everyone was probably feeling a bit resentful after working so hard for so long, but she remained calm and performed exceptionally well.
Seeing these directors finally put their minds at ease.
"Why did this perfectly normal child pretend to be stupid before? And he did it so convincingly."
"From now on, if anyone dares to say your acting is bad, I'll be the first to stand up and release a clarification video for you."
Jin Shu smiled and nodded.
"Driven by the need to make a living, naive and innocent people have an easier time finding employment. But now that the market is bad, I have no choice but to continue to change careers."
"It's alright, as long as my show is running, you'll have a way to make a living!"
