Chapter 1 Making money is easy.
The incandescent light above the dressing room was a bit dazzling.
Under the light, Chu Ling sat in front of the mirror, slowly wiping off her lipstick with a makeup remover towel.
"so."
She asked, "Is what you said true?"
The system responded in her mind: "Absolutely true."
Chu Ling looked in the mirror and squinted slightly.
Five minutes ago, this existence called System came into her brain and told her the truth about this world.
She then realized that she was actually a cannon fodder female supporting role in a novel, and was about to participate in a dating show called "Heartbeat Lab", becoming the control group of the protagonist and a stepping stone for everyone.
In recent years, as the popularity of dating variety shows has grown, they have become a springboard for many people. Some ordinary people hope to become internet celebrities, some internet celebrities try to become stars, and some out-of-date stars try to become popular again.
She, Chu Ling, is the third type.
At the age of 21, she was spotted by a scout before she graduated from college. Confident of her beauty, she entered the entertainment industry with great enthusiasm.
However, despite her beauty, her striking, flamboyant features, cat-like round pupils and upturned eyes, naturally gave her the stereotype of a scheming, mean woman. Coupled with her lack of experience and her inability to adapt to current circumstances, she offended a number of industry leaders who offered her unspoken offers of sexual favors. Her resources plummeted, she was slapped with underdogs, and a barrage of negative press releases and nasty rumors circulated.
After being blacklisted by the entire Internet, Chu Ling still went his own way, with his mouth as hard as his knees.
So, in her third year after her debut, she finally lived up to everyone's expectations and became a has-been female star. Not to mention her fans, even the people who scolded her were almost gone.
With the idea that being a black-and-red person can also be popular, her agent took on this dating variety show for her, which has become a hot topic as soon as it was heard.
"Heartbeat Laboratory" is a live dating show that brings together celebrities and outstanding amateurs from all walks of life, breaking down industry barriers and creating sparks.
Because of the rumor that a new and low-key actor was coming, the show was very popular online before it even aired.
Eight out of ten dating variety shows nowadays have scripts.
The reason why Chu Ling was able to get this resource was because she got a villain script that no one wanted.
As we all know, if a dating variety show wants to go viral, it has to create conflicts and arouse public discussion. It would be best if there is someone who arouses public anger before it can be considered a hit.
Chu Ling herself had a bad reputation, so it was natural for the program team to give her this sacrificial script.
The highlight of this romance show is the male and female protagonists of the original book.
The male and female protagonists in the original book are a low-key movie star and a rich girl.
On the surface, the two do not know each other, but in reality, they were once a business marriage. Later, they separated due to a misunderstanding. Now, the actor has lowered his profile and participated in this dating show just to win back his wife, playing out a romantic story of her chasing him.
However, the cannon fodder female supporting role Chu Ling, who was ignorant of the current situation, kept trying to get close to the actor in order to ride on his popularity. She was spotted by smart and sober netizens in the early stage and was scolded to the sky. In the later stage, she even became the control group of the heroine.
In the last episode, the male protagonist finally revealed the truth about his pursuit of his wife, and the entire Internet went crazy.
After hearing the plot summary, Chu Ling asked curiously, "How do his fans manage not to quit and turn against him?"
system:"……"
Only at this moment did Chu Ling believe that he was really living in a novel.
They are secretly married, deceive their fans, and use the whole world as part of their PLAY. Fans not only don't retaliate but also ship their idols as a real couple.
This kind of thing can only happen in novels.
Chu Ling picked out a new lipstick on the table and faced the mirror, using a lip brush to evenly apply a layer of pure brick red on her lips. After admiring herself in the mirror with satisfaction, she asked, "So, how can you help me? Help me change my fate and rewrite the script of being a cannon fodder?"
"No."
The system said, "You need to maintain your hated persona."
Every year, too many book travelers and natives awaken and change the original story line.
Some people, after realizing their own tragic ending, will try every possible means to interfere with or even join the protagonist's emotional line from another perspective. Due to the large number of people, a lot of time and space chaos has been caused.
Therefore, their task is to come down and give benefits to supporting characters whenever they sense that they are about to awaken their soul consciousness, so that they can continue to act as villains and keep the world running.
The world needs villains!
Without a villain, who will create conflicts, who will drive the plot forward, who will stir up emotions, and how will the word count be expanded!
Chu Ling is such a villain supporting role.
As she grows up, she gradually realizes the irrationality of this world. If she doesn't intervene, she may change her fate and escape the control of the original novel.
"Our goal is to ensure the storyline develops smoothly."
The system said to her, "So you have to continue to play the role of a villain that everyone hates, and do everything you can to make everyone hate you."
Chu Ling: “?”
In short, she offended the whole world.
She frowned and then cursed, "Only a fool would—"
The system added, "During this process, the negative emotions you collect will be converted into income at a 1:100 ratio. In other words, for every 100 points of negative emotion fluctuations generated by you, we will give you a reward of 10,000 yuan, which will be directly deposited into your card."
Chu Ling's voice suddenly dropped.
After a while, she raised her eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
The reason why Chu Ling entered the entertainment industry was very simple.
She wants to make money.
She was born into a family with neither money nor love.
So when she became an adult, she immediately chose to use her only advantage and enter the entertainment industry with her pretty face. Unfortunately, she didn't expect the entertainment industry to be so complicated and her personality was so bad that she not only didn't make any money over the years, but was forced to pay several sums of money because of offending people.
When others are earning 2.08 million yuan a day, she should be thankful that she is lucky today if she doesn't lose 280,000 yuan a day.
The system emphasized: "Really!"
Chu Ling asked: "How do you prove it?"
"——Teacher Chu, the recording time is about to begin."
The makeup artist walked back in and was stunned when she saw her. Then she frowned and asked, "Teacher Chu, did you change the makeup without my permission?"
The lipstick she applied to Chu Ling just now was not this color.
"yes."
Chu Ling nodded openly and admitted, "Because I don't think your makeup looks good."
The pink lipstick that the makeup artist chose for her was totally incompatible with her overall makeup and outfit today, and it even lowered her natural beauty.
The makeup artist seemed to sigh, then said, "Teacher Chu, I told you before that all our makeup and hair are strictly controlled. You shouldn't make any changes without authorization. Even if there are any parts that need to be changed, you should tell me -"
Chu Ling pointed at his eyes: "What is this?"
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment: "...Huh?"
"I have eyes, so I can see clearly whether it looks good or not."
She chuckled, "I heard that you're a qualified makeup artist, and you can choose this color of lipstick for me. Either your aesthetic taste is really inferior to others, and you'd better change your career as soon as possible instead of being a makeup artist. Or..."
Chu Ling stared at her and said, "You did it on purpose."
The makeup artist was visibly panicked for a moment, then said stubbornly, "Please don't make wild guesses. I did my job well."
Someone outside urged again: "Time is almost up."
"The recording will start soon. If you have any insights, we can talk next time."
Chu Ling picked up her bag and waved goodbye to her. Before closing the door and leaving, she heard the makeup artist whisper, "You're just as annoying as the legend says."
That’s right.
Chu Ling laughed at himself and thought, she just has a very annoying personality and has never been liked by anyone since she was a child.
She always thought that she was born with bad interpersonal relationships.
If we go by what the system said, it turns out that it was just a setting made by the author.
Buzz.
Chu Ling's phone vibrated twice.
She clicked it and took a look, and found that there was an APP on her phone out of nowhere, and a pop-up message prompt popped up at the top.
Congratulations on receiving 10 points of negative emotions from makeup artist Annie.
【One thousand yuan was deposited into the account.】
Chu Ling was stunned, then opened his bank account to check.
There really was an extra thousand yuan in her bank card!
In an instant, Chu Ling's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
"Now you believe it, right? I'm telling the truth."
The system said proudly, "Don't worry, we are above the will of the world and will rationalize the income of this money. You will not be arrested for unknown sources."
"Besides, there's no tax on this money, so you get whatever you want."
So easy!
Chu Ling's mood, which had just been depressed for a second, suddenly improved.
It turns out that you can make money just by being hated.
That was too easy for her.
Putting aside her inherently annoying personality, being disliked by female celebrities is as easy as breathing.
No matter you are too fat or too thin, too tall or too short, too outspoken or too reserved, people will dislike you. Even if you are too perfect, people will criticize you for being fake.
Now, making money is as easy as pie!
"I believe it."
Chu Ling happily got into the car prepared for her by the program crew and headed to the recording location not far away, a luxuriously decorated villa.
In the car, her agent, Sister Xu, sent her a text message to remind her.
Seize this opportunity. No matter how much you're scolded, you must hold on.
Before she came, Sister Xu had told her that this was her last chance to become popular again. She had to be bold. Even if she got criticized to death, the traffic she earned was real. If she couldn't become popular again, she would be put on ice.
Go for it!
Of course she can take the risk!
If she can make money by being hated, it doesn't matter even if the whole world hates her.
Even if she is the only one who loves herself in this world, she will live well in the lonely big villa, counting her Maybach and Rolls-Royce, and crying over her gold, jewellery and Prada Prada.
As Chu Ling thought about it, tears were about to flow from the corners of her mouth.
The system looked at Chu Ling, whose smile was gradually turning insane: "...Control yourself a little."
Chu Ling checked his expression in the mirror and tried to suppress the corners of his mouth: "I understand."
When they arrived in front of the villa, Chu Ling got out of the car.
She already knew that she was assigned the role of the female lead, so she should be the first to arrive.
At the same time, the live broadcast room has been opened in advance and has been preheated for half a day.
[Here it comes! This is my first time watching a live dating variety show, so excited.]
[Is the guest information online accurate? Is that movie star Qin Shuo really going to come?]
[The flight information has been revealed, so it's basically confirmed.]
The camera slowly moved forward, showing Chu Ling's back.
[Is this a girl? She's the female lead, does anyone recognize her?]
[Celebrity or amateur? ]
[This guy's clothes don't look like a normal person... Based on the list circulating online, could it be Chu Ling?]
Although Chu Ling has become less well-known in the past two years, he is still well-known among the public.
Certainly not good publicity.
The camera moved forward again and captured her vague profile.
[Damn, it really seems to be Chu Ling.]
[The production team must be crazy for traffic. What were they thinking when they invited her? Aren't they really afraid that she will disrupt the entire show?]
[Is there anyone who doesn't know about Chu Ling's negative news from a few years ago? It feels like she's just here on this show to clear her name.]
If my brother really wants to go, please keep her away from him.
Even though some people only had very slight aversion to her, because of the large base, Chu Ling received hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few minutes.
Chu Ling couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
The camera moved forward at this moment and finally captured her face.
She raised her eyes, looked directly at the camera with confident and bright eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled ostentatiously, and had an aura of determination to win.
Storm, please don’t show mercy and come at me!
For a moment, even the comments in the live broadcast room that were criticizing her and spreading negative information about her stopped briefly.
[Although I understand the reason, but...]
[This sister's face is really slappable! ]
