Chapter 1: The Fate of Cannon Fodder is Also a Fate
"Sister Weiwei, get up quickly, you have work to do!"
Song Shiwei rolled over with her eyes closed and mumbled:
"What kind of job is this? Playing dead people? I'm not doing it anymore. I've died enough this month. I'll die again next month."
Tao Xiaotian climbed onto Song Shiwei's bed and hugged the "giant silkworm pupa" on the bed, complaining about it.
"Ever since you suddenly came back to life in Director Liu's movie, we can't even act as dead anymore."
"How can you blame me? Who strikes a super '6+1' pose before they die!"
Song Shiwei sat up irritably, her seaweed-like curly hair hanging down her back, her plain face looking at Tao Xiaotian with resentment.
"If they can't even act out dead people, what kind of work can they do?"
"President Li just called me and said a variety show has approached you!" Tao Xiaotian said excitedly.
Song Shiwei paused, then she remembered.
Song Shiwei is not actually from this world.
She transmigrated into the book.
She was once an actress, but without status or background, she carved out a path for herself in the entertainment industry with her outstanding acting skills.
Later, an investor approached Song Shiwei, handed her a script, and offered her the lead role.
The script is called "A Brilliant Life: The Emperor's Heart-wrenching Tenderness," which sounds like a typical Mary Sue story.
Song Shiwei finished reading the script with a frown.
It's fair to say that the writing is completely illogical.
Song Shiwei didn't understand how the protagonists fell in love so suddenly, to the point of being mortal with each other.
Furthermore, the female lead has warped values; she's stingy, pretentious, manipulative, and unreasonable...
Song Shiwei rejected the script; she couldn't play the naive and innocent type.
This show is like a joke, it's like it's just a way to launder money for capitalists.
This move angered the investor, who had approached her with the intention of pursuing Song Shiwei.
Seeing her arrogant expression, he was naturally angry. He originally wanted to scare her, but unexpectedly, Song Shiwei fell into the sea and died.
As her body gradually sank into the sea, Song Shiwei thought, in the end, strength still couldn't defeat capital...
Her consciousness gradually faded, and when she regained consciousness, Song Shiwei found herself in this world.
Where is this world?
It's the script she rejected!
Song Shiwei felt like she had hit a brick wall, mainly because she hadn't transmigrated into the female lead, but rather into an extremely insignificant cannon fodder character.
She is the true heiress of the Xia family, a prominent family in the capital, who was separated from her family and is the real heiress of the Xia family. She and the female protagonist, Xia Zhiqing, are the real and fake heiresses.
Before being recognized by the Xia family, Song Shiwei had struggled in the entertainment industry for several years but remained a nobody.
After being recognized by the Xia family, Song Shiwei did not rise up and sing songs of liberation.
Because of her protagonist status, Xia Zhiqing's family still treats her like a little princess, while Song Shiwei seems to be living under someone else's roof.
In the end, of course, he was kicked out of the house to highlight the female lead.
As of now, Song Shiwei has not yet been recognized and returned to the Xia family.
This variety show was written at the very beginning of the script.
But this Song Shiwei is not the same Song Shiwei as before.
She has a God's-eye view, and also retains the temperament from her previous life.
In her past life, Song Shiwei's temperament could be simply summarized as:
I'm short-tempered and arrogant. Don't mess with me, or I'll knock your head off!
But she doesn't want to fight capitalists in this lifetime. As long as people don't offend her, she won't offend them.
All she wants now is the 50 million yuan the Xia family gives her, to buy a house in a small, third-tier city, to receive tens of thousands of yuan in monthly bank income, and to support a male college student. Isn't that great?
Why are you still arguing with the scheming female lead?
Let her and her domineering movie star live happily ever after!
However, in order to obtain the 50 million, she still needs to follow the storyline in the early stages.
After tidying up briefly, Song Shiwei went to the company with Tao Xiaotian.
Shengtian Group is the largest entertainment company in Asia, and it is top-notch in terms of both the number of artists and various resources.
Song Shiwei noticed this from outside the company.
The towering skyscrapers are magnificent, with a huge logo standing in the small square in front of the company. Even the glass of the building seems to reflect a luxurious light.
Song Shiwei thought to herself, what did she do to deserve this? How could a nobody who doesn't make any money be able to sign with such a company?
And how incompetent must Song Shiwei in the book be? She couldn't even make such a good company work for her.
Following Tao Xiaotian into the company, you'll find it brimming with fashion and technology; even the receptionists are hundreds of times prettier than internet celebrities.
The elevator stopped on the 25th floor. Tao Xiaotian looked at her phone. "President Li said he's on the 25th floor and asked us to wait for him."
Song Shimu looked at the innocent Tao Xiaotian with a conflicted expression.
"Xiaotian, you can't get a perfect score on your reading comprehension. Does President Li mean we should go to his office and wait for him?"
Otherwise, is Mr. Li directionally challenged? Would he need the two of them to pick him up?
Song Shiwei finally understood why the original owner was a nobody; there must be a tigress by the side of Zhuge Liang.
"Oh, I see. Weiwei, shall we go up to President Li's office now?" Tao Xiaotian suddenly realized.
"Since we're already here, let's take a look around."
The 25th floor is a spacious, single-level floor, mainly used for artists' filming work.
Song Shiwei watched the busy staff members, photographers, and stylists all working diligently to make arrangements.
"Why isn't Lisa here yet? I've asked her so many times! Filming is about to start!"
"I've called several times, but Lisa isn't answering. What should I do? Will Mr. Chi be angry?"
"If she doesn't want to come, she doesn't want to come. We can't keep Mr. Chi waiting for a little model. We'll cancel all future collaborations between our company and Lisa!"
The short-haired woman in the white shirt frowned deeply, her eyes filled with barely concealed anger. She looked around and suddenly spotted a stunning figure.
"Hey! You! Come here!"
Song Shiwei looked around, then pointed at herself in confusion, "Me?"
"Yes, it's you!"
The woman's patience ran out. She grabbed Song Shiwei and dragged her into the dressing room, completely ignoring Song Shiwei's struggles, and pushed her inside.
"Change her clothes and quickly put on makeup; she'll replace Lisa!"
"I won't do it! Why are you still doing that 'stand-in literature' thing?"
The woman frowned, her eyes filled with impatience, as if she was used to ordering others around.
You have to do it!
"Speaking so aggressively, did you just eat some firecrackers? How much did they cost? Why are you so tough?"
"Five hundred thousand."
"Hey, you should have said so earlier! Is this even a big deal?" Song Shiwei immediately took the clothes and went to change.
Is this some kind of unrealistic script, where even a minor model earns 500,000?
I'm so broke lately that I only have 3.52 yuan left in my bank account, so I can finally have a nice meal.
Song Shiwei quickly finished her makeup and came out. She wore a tight black leather skirt that perfectly outlined her beautiful figure. With smoky makeup, Song Shiwei had a small face and delicate features. She looked like Cat Sister's queen and instantly amazed everyone.
"Is this one of our company's artists? She's so beautiful!"
"No way, I've never seen this before? Is it a newly signed contract?"
"With that face and figure, she's absolutely stunning!"
"Sister, kill me!"
.........
Song Shiwei, ignoring everyone's discussion, walked to the filming location and asked the woman from earlier.
How do you film it?
The woman was clearly taken aback when she saw Song Shiwei, and immediately replied, "Just use the cup as a backdrop."
"???"
"!!!"
Who the hell is this ad for?
It's worth 500,000 just for being a backdrop!
Can I just be his background character forever?
