Chapter 1 Shen Ci: I, a big vase, want money!



The online drama "No Goodbye" aired in the summer was a big hit. Although the main actors of the crew were of different status, they all received great exposure. Among them were movie kings who had won many awards, newcomers who had just made their debut and had a successful start, and a vase with third-rate acting skills and top-notch appearance.

Several of the most popular actors were invited to a variety show for recording today.

Shen Ci was among them, and he was the big vase...

Shen·Hua Ping·Ci Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, there is nothing to be attached to in life.

"Xiao Shen, you are really the cutest boy I have ever seen!" The makeup artist praised sincerely while fixing Shen Ci's hair.

The boy looked like a high school student. He had a full forehead, a high and round nose, wet eyes, and a stunningly delicate and beautiful complexion. There was a clever and lovely energy between his eyebrows.

Such a beautiful appearance has attracted countless mothers. Not only did it contribute a lot to the ratings of "No Goodbye", but she also became a popular actor in the drama.

Shen Ci hummed sullenly and did not flatter her in his usual sweet-talking way.

The makeup artist noticed that Shen Ci looked unhappy and was a little curious: "What's wrong, Xiao Shen? You look so sad."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci sighed and said, "It's a long story... Sister, let me sleep for a while..."

"Yeah, you should have a good rest. Oh, your eyes are so swollen, how could you be so tired..." The makeup artist muttered distressedly, but Shen Ci ignored it numbly.

He was in a really bad mood today because of a recurring dream he had recently.

For a whole week, he dreamed every night about a long, complete plot like that of a novel, in which Shen Ci was just a cannon fodder.

Shen Ci knows both of the real protagonists of the novel. One is his childhood friend and the newly crowned film emperor Shao Jinhuan; the other is the newcomer in the circle Bai Ziwei who has just made his mark.

The two are the male lead and the second male lead of "Never Say Goodbye", and they also came to the recording site of this variety show.

What shocked Shen Ci the most was that the main plot of the novel was the on-and-off and on-again, off-again, and tragic love story between Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei.

For Shao Jinhuan's secret admirer Shen Ci, this is simply a nightmare!

In the end, Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei reunited after going through so many hardships, but the supporting character Shen Ci ended up being a cannon fodder.

Not only did he squander all his family fortune in order to lick the protagonist Shao Jinhuan, but all the bad things he did to Bai Ziwei were also exposed. In the end, it was investigated that he was a fake young master of the wealthy Shen family, and the real young master was actually the protagonist Bai Ziwei... Shen Ci ended up wandering the streets with his whereabouts unknown.

He originally thought it was just his imagination, but reality always overlapped with his dreams amazingly time and time again.

From the ratings of "No Goodbye" and the subsequent news, to the notification of all members to participate in this variety show... everything was accurate to the millimeter.

Shen Ci's worldview almost collapsed, and it took him a long time to accept the fact: everyone in this world lives in a book, and everything is arranged clearly.

And somehow he knew all this.

He was thinking with a sad face, and when he heard someone calling him, he opened his eyes.

Broker Zhang looked at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Xiao Ci, what's wrong? You look so worried that your face is all screwed up."

He had never seen this well-fed and well-clothed young master so worried.

Shen Ci thought that the secret must not be revealed, so he tried to cover it up: "Because I didn't sleep well yesterday...Brother Zhang, do you think my eyes are so swollen that they look ugly?"

Brother Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, you want to fool me with your flower vase acting skills? But your eyes are really swollen, are you crying?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Ci glared at him, "I'm fine, why are you crying?"

"Ouch, ouch..." If there were no outsiders here, Brother Zhang felt that he would be embarrassed if he didn't squeeze this little brat. However, there were many people in the dressing room, so it was better to save face for this kid, so as not to retaliate against him again.

Zhang patted the child on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, our Cibaoer is not a crybaby. Hurry up and adjust yourself, the recording will start soon."

"So fast!" Shen Ci became even more nervous.

In addition to Shen Ci, Bai Ziwei and Shao Jinhuan were also invited to the recording of this variety show! Shen Ci felt nervous.

Brother Zhang saw that Shen Ci had a strange expression on his face and muttered a few times: "Why are you so nervous? Don't worry, you are so pretty. Miss Guo especially likes your cute little face and won't make things difficult for you!"

Guo Ruoruo is the host of this variety show. She is kindhearted and often praises the guests. Almost all production crews will have a conversation with her during promotion, and the effect is amazing.

Shen Ci secretly complained in his heart. He was not afraid of being embarrassed by the host! Compared with the future disaster he foresaw in his dream, the host's embarrassment was nothing!

"Xiao Ci, why haven't you gone over yet?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded behind him, and Shen Ci suddenly felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.

It's Bai Ziwei...

Although Bai Ziwei has a gentle and extremely chaste personality, she is often bullied by supporting characters like Shen Ci. But she is the protagonist, and her husband and friends are all bigwigs in various fields.

The reason why Shen Ci suffered such a terrible revenge later was not because of Bai Ziwei, but because the people around Bai Ziwei could not bear to see him being bullied, so they kept in mind what Bai Ziwei had done secretly, and among them, Shao Jinhuan was the most cruel.

What Bai Ziwei had heard about Shen Ci's tragic ending was just the tip of the iceberg.

Shen Ci quickly reviewed in his mind whether he had abused Bai Ziwei so far, and he went through it several times before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had "accidentally" splashed Bai Zi and Wei Shui and other children's temper tantrums on the set before, Shen Ci had not made any big mistakes.

However, he was still a little afraid of dealing with Bai Ziwei. Shen Ci turned around nervously and smiled stiffly: "Ah...that...Brother Bai, haha, I'll be there right away!"

Bai Ziwei was a little surprised by Shen Ci's expression, but he didn't say anything. Shen Ci was a child with a temper. He always went crazy for no reason on the set before. Who knew what was in his little head.

He smiled softly: "Okay. Seeing that you have almost finished tidying up, why don't I go up with you."

Shen Ci: “…Hmm.”

What can I do if I don't agree? Although Shen Ci doesn't want to deal with the cannon fodder nemesis, the destined male protagonist, he doesn't want to offend him even more!

Brother Zhang's expression was like seeing the sun rise from the west: "Hey, when did Master Shen become so obedient? I wish he was also so obedient when choosing resources."

Shen Ci made a face at him, turned around and followed Bai Ziwei.

Brother Zhang, who stayed where he was, reached out and touched his stubble, marveling in amazement.

He felt that Shen Ci seemed to have calmed down a lot recently and was not as lawless as before.

I really want to know why the little devil suddenly changed his personality.

After thinking it over to no avail, Zhang put the idea aside and followed the staff to watch.

The so-called protagonist law is not a lie. After Shen Ci followed Bai Ziwei for a while, he met an acquaintance.

The protagonist of the original novel is Shao Jinhuan.

Shen Ci's face was filled with tears. Why did they have to bring the three of them together?

When Shao Jinhuan saw the two of them walking side by side in harmony, his cold expression relaxed a little and he was obviously a little surprised.

"Brother Shao! What a coincidence, let's go together!" Bai Ziwei's eyes lit up, and even Shen Ci could hear that his voice became noticeably more enthusiastic.

Shen Ci laughed dryly: "Haha...yes, let's go together, Beihuan...Brother Shao."

Shao Jinhuan frowned and focused his eyes on Shen Ci's face. The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became a little cold.

Shen Ci made him stare at the ground with a chill down his spine. In the original novel, as soon as he called out "Brother Huan", Shao Jinhuan's expression would obviously turn unhappy in an instant, and he really disliked this title.

Shen Ci didn't want to cause trouble, so of course he had to change his words immediately.

Although this is a nickname that he has been using for more than ten years since he was a child, it was just a way of being coquettish when he was a child, but it has really changed as he grew up.

Maybe Shao Jinhuan hasn't accepted the fact that he is no longer a licking dog, and he will be back to normal soon, Shen Ci comforted himself.

Fortunately, Shao Jinhuan only stared for a while and then looked away, said "hmm" softly, and turned around to lead the way.

Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no trouble among the three of them until they sat down at the recording location.

In this type of interview variety show, the host usually sits on one side and the interviewee sits on the other side. Shen Ci sat down next to Bai Ziwei according to the order of rehearsal and flipped through his mobile phone memo, which contained the questions he was going to answer and the standard answers written for him by Brother Zhang.

As the most experienced senior agent of Yunxiao Entertainment, Brother Zhang is very familiar with dealing with vases like Shen Ci.

This time on the variety show, he set the route for Shen Ci as "using a vase to surround dry goods and using cuteness to seize power."

In the designed script, the host's questions were more focused on the actors who played the male and female protagonists. Shen Ci had very few lines, and perhaps the producers and crew also felt that letting him quietly serve as a vase was the best choice.

However, Shen Ci in the dream was so careless that he completely ignored the arrangements and frantically competed for the limelight with his words. He even scolded Bai Ziwei and the host on the spot. Before the variety show was even aired, he was scolded by fans and became a hot topic.

Everything was ready. The moment the camera was turned on, Shen Ci silently recited a few words in his heart.

Be a vase, be a vase, be a big vase!

Psychological suggestion is very effective. During the more than half an hour of recording, Shen Ci said very few words. Instead, she put all her energy into smiling sweetly at the camera. At the same time, she acted cute towards the camera and the actors under the guidance of the host. She looked quite professional as a vase.

Guo Ruoruo was so cute throughout the whole process that her mother was overwhelmed with emotion: "Xiaoci is so cute, did everyone want to take care of you during the photo shoot?"

Shen Ci was a little confused. The problem was not in the original song, but in Guo Ruoruo's improvisation.

He thought for a moment, but was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"he……"

"A little word..."

Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei spoke at the same time, and then shut up at the same time. The two looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Guo Ruoruo smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It seems that my question has an answer. Mr. Shao is famous for being a man of few words, but he actually took the initiative to answer the question. I am really flattered."

Everyone on the stage laughed in applause, and the atmosphere became harmonious and lively again.

"Okay, I'm really sorry for asking you so many questions today. But for the sake of you dear fans, I'll give you a heart!"

At the host's suggestion, the camera started with a close-up of Shao Jinhuan, who was in the first position.

Guo Ruoruo: "Mr. Shao, please smile!"

Shen Ci looked at the huge iceberg, stretched out his hand to make a heart shape, and then raised the corners of his lips stiffly: "I hope everyone will support "No Goodbye"."

Being forced to operate is the most deadly.

Shen Ci almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and he tried his best to hold it back. When the camera started to focus on him, he suddenly burst into a brilliant smile: "Sisters, you must watch "No Goodbye" a few more times! Then you can see me a few more times!"

In addition to making a heart shape with his hands, Shen Ci also added a very skilled and charming wink.

Everyone on and off the stage was shocked. Guo Ruoruo was stunned for a long time, but she suppressed the urge to scream like a mother fan and smiled, "Little Ci is very energetic! It would be great if everyone could be as enthusiastic as him."

Shen Ci smiled sheepishly, still looking like an innocent boy.

Everyone present was thinking "wow" countless times, and suddenly they understood why Shen Ci, who was a small supporting actor and a newcomer who only brought money into the group, could become so famous and even be on par with them to star in this kind of variety show.

A smile can infect everyone's emotions, which is not something an ordinary vase can do.

The show ended quickly. After the host and crew members exchanged polite thanks, they went backstage one by one.

Shen Ci successfully avoided being with Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei, and returned to the backstage happily.

None of the stupid things that were supposed to happen in the original storyline happened! Shen Ci was so excited that he felt like he had changed his destiny.

Brother Zhang had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw Shen Ci he happily put his arm around his shoulders.

"Ci Baoer is really amazing! No wonder President Lu specifically told us to support you! I observed the celestial phenomena last night and calculated with my fingers. You are destined to be a big star!"

Shen Ci: "Brother, it rained last night..."
