The most popular variety show recently is "King of Acting" on Tomato TV, whose biggest investor is Zhongxing Entertainment.
Because it's a competition-style event, the male and female actors who ultimately win the title of 'King of Acting' in this variety show will receive important roles in the big-budget IP "Phoenix Above," which is being prepared by numerous stars. The final ranking competition will also feature clips from "Phoenix Above."
Given Shen Lian's status, she naturally didn't participate in this variety show competition as an actress; she was one of the invited mentors, responsible for guiding the actors.
Looking at the traffic jam ahead, Xiao Zhong was stunned and clicked his tongue in amazement: "So many people!"
Suddenly, Xiao Zhong's eyes lit up as she saw something: "Sister Yan, look, isn't that Chen Lian's car up ahead!"
Bai Yan glanced ahead and then said calmly, "It's her."
Xiao Zhong was incredibly excited: "She actually came to participate in this variety show!"
“I heard from the media that Shen Lian is actually the female lead chosen by all the stars. She came to participate in the variety show this time, firstly to give the drama exposure, and secondly to give newcomers a chance…” Xiao Zhong said with an admiring look: “She’s a beautiful actress with good acting skills, and she’s also kind-hearted and willing to mentor newcomers. Sister Yan, if you are selected this time, you can even act with Shen Lian.”
Bai Yan looked at Xiao Zhong: "Are you a fan of Chen Lian?"
Xiao Zhong chuckled: "Just a casual fan, Sister Yan, you're my only sister right now!"
At this point, Xiao Zhong cupped her face and looked at Bai Yan with starry eyes. Shen Lian was beautiful; she used to lick the screen for ages while watching dramas... but Sister Yan's beauty was in no way inferior!
Bai Yan was amused by her, and her red lips curled slightly.
Since she's making a living in the entertainment industry, she'll naturally try to maintain her best appearance, especially since the original owner of this world's female lead already possessed exceptional beauty.
"Sis, don't laugh, you're so beautiful my heart is racing!" Xiao Zhong clutched her heart and acted for a while, then quickly picked up her phone again: "Sis, I'll create a super topic for you, hehehe, then I'm sure lots of people will come to the super topic and admire your looks with me..."
But as soon as Xiao Zhong opened her phone, she was stunned. She clicked into the trending topics, and the top story was praising Chen Lian.
The phrases praising her are always the same few: "Which girl doesn't want to be Chen Lian?", "A face sculpted by a god", "The alluring goddess Chen Lian", but the next phrase is actually about her, Sister Yan!
She debuted with Shen Lian. Shen Lian respected her senior, while Bai Yan acted like a diva.
Shen Lian is a good actress and rose to fame through her acting skills. Bai Yan, on the other hand, is just a pretty face who doesn't strive for advancement and only relies on riding the coattails of others to get ahead. Especially three years ago, she met Bo Yaodong, the son of many stars, at a party and tried to climb the social ladder by sleeping with him. However, the son was infatuated with Shen Lian and directly blacklisted her.
Especially later, they even accused her of having plastic surgery and turning her face into a gourd shape?
"Nonsense, all of it is nonsense!"
"These damn media outlets, they praise one while belittling another, they're trash!"
Xiao Zhong likes Chen Lian, but she's unhappy that the media is talking about her like this: After spending a month with her, she can see what kind of person Yan Jie is. How could she possibly act like a diva? She's so good to her little assistant!
Especially regarding plastic surgery, the rumors were quite detailed, and even a few pictures of her sister undergoing post-surgery repair were released.
What is all this nonsense? If Sister Yan went for plastic surgery that month, who was she with?
"Bai Yan, where is Bai Yan?!" someone shouted through a megaphone.
It must be the film crew. Xiao Zhong, forgetting his anger, quickly reached out his hand: "Teacher, we're here."
Seeing this, the film crew walked over to the car: "The car that went first after the filming started, you all follow the second one in, understand?"
"What?" Xiao Zhong questioned. The trending topics were being manipulated like this, and the production team was still stirring things up.
"I understand," Bai Yan said softly.
The car slowly drove forward. Xiao Zhong was furious and gritted her teeth. She finally understood that the production team was using Sister Yan to generate buzz. She glanced to the side again.
Bai Yan's expression showed no anger.
"Sister Yan, aren't you angry?"
Bai Yan looked up. "There's nothing to be angry about?" She then looked at Xiao Zhong. "Do I look like a pumpkin to you?"
Xiao Zhong immediately shook his head, while Bai Yan curled her lips into a smile: "So?"
Xiao Zhong also realized something: In the entertainment industry, looks are everything. Just wait and see how her sister uses her face to dominate the scene!
...
Under the spotlight, Chen Lian's van stopped at the entrance of the studio.
Then, her crystal high heels slowly came into view. Wearing a pure white long dress, her eyes, as tender as autumn water, gazed at every viewer in front of the camera. Shen Lian slowly smiled.
Her features weren't perfect, but for some reason, viewers watching the live stream felt that the woman in front of them possessed a unique charm in every smile and gesture.
"Hello, viewers, I am Chen Lian."
Shen Lian smiled and then went into the inner area of the studio and sat down.
"After Shen Ying, the first mentor to enter, let's see who's next!" The host glanced at the door and then smiled, "Next, let's welcome Bai Yan—"
Because it was a live broadcast and the variety show was very popular, the comments section was as lively as a vegetable market.
[Bai Yan, I don't know her. Does anyone know her?]
The entertainment industry changes rapidly, and the original owner had long lost her popularity, needing introductions from others.
Is that the one who acted like a diva and tried to seduce President Huo three years ago?
[Did you see the photos that were just leaked? Before, he had no acting skills but at least he had a pretty face. Now he's completely finished; he's lost both his looks and his acting skills.]
Yeah, I don't know why the production team invited her. Inviting someone with no connections or background is worse than inviting me.
[Haha, now we're getting attention, even negative publicity is still publicity...]
