Chapter 50: The Shame of the Emperor

Time passed day by day, and finally it came to September 9th, the day before the movie was released.

-

"Did you see that? That guy is Yan Gou'er, the one who played in All or Nothing!"

"Oh, that's her. It's really shameful. I don't know what she was thinking. Acting in Cheng Cheng's movie, her life is probably ruined."

"The main thing is that she not only embarrassed herself, but also brought shame to our school. We don't know how the Beijing Opera next door will mock us this time. They will definitely say that our people in Diying will do anything to become famous."

"I feel sick of this kind of person even though she is in the same school as me!"

"The problem is, it's fine if I can become famous! But can I become famous by acting in Cheng Cheng's movie?"

"Just wait and see, when her movie comes out tomorrow, she'll definitely become the laughing stock of the whole school!"

"She was pretty, what a shame."

"In my opinion, she clearly has no idea of ​​her own worth. Have you heard that before, a crew came to our school to recruit actors and took a fancy to her, but she seemed to think the script was too bad and it would require too much sacrifice, so she didn't agree. As a result, guess what happened, she had no role to play for the entire three years of college! I originally thought she was aloof, but I didn't expect she was just waiting for a good price! She always thought that bigger directors and bigger crews would come looking for her, but she kept waiting until she was no longer valuable, hahahaha, and finally she was forced to act in a movie like this."

"She might as well have followed that director in the first place."

"Who says it's not true? People only realize what they've missed when they lose it."

"If she had followed that director, she might have become a big star. It would have been better than starring in this kind of movie. Haha, this is probably the result of thinking too highly of yourself."

"Deserve it!"

The midday sun was a little dazzling, shining as usual on the campus of the Film Academy.

Yan Gou'er was wearing a white dress and walking lightly on the tree-lined path leading to the cafeteria.

The heels of the little black leather shoes tapped gently on the stone road, playing a beautiful melody, drowning out the noisy and annoying discussions.

Director Cheng promoted "All or Nothing" in the live broadcast room amid thousands of people scolding him. What does it matter?

"Auntie, I want two taels of rice, thank you."

Arriving at the cafeteria window, Yan Gouer placed the plate in front of the window and spoke crisply to the aunt serving the food.

The sound of her speaking was as pleasant as the sound of two jade pendants tapping against each other.

"Okay!" The auntie served her the rice as she requested and said, "Eat more. You look so thin. I feel bad for you."

In the film academy, the auntie who serves the food likes girls like this kind of little white flowers. They are not like those flashy and slutty girls who don’t look like serious children.

"Thank you, Auntie~" Yan Gouer smiled and simply thanked her.

Then, she went to another window and got a bowl of soup and a vegetarian dish. After thinking for a while, she remembered the concern of the auntie who served the food, so she got another meat dish and then found an empty seat and sat down.

The people around her looked at her again and again, and their sarcastic voices were not concealed, as if they were meant for her to hear.

"What a shame!"

"She still has the nerve to eat in the cafeteria."

"If I acted in a movie like this, I would be embarrassed to say that I graduated from film school."

Yan Gou'er ate his meal in small bites, neither fast nor slow.

After finishing her meal, she cleared the table and left with her plate.

Someone behind her spat:

"Bah! I wonder if she will still act like this after she gets dirty and smelly!" -

When I returned to the dormitory, before I even reached the door, I heard the voices of Ling Qi and Xing Fei from inside.

"I really don't know what Yan Gou'er is thinking. Today, a friend asked me if the actor in our school's Cheng Cheng movie is from our dormitory. I was also impressed. How could she choose such a crappy movie?"

"Hahahaha, who knows her! There's Wang Hong and Yan Gou'er in our dormitory. Don't tell me, they're really interesting."

"It's really interesting, a chicken and a blind dog hahahahahahahaha!"

"Do you think Yan Gou'er will think that we are short-sighted and that she is the only one who has a keen eye for talent and is fantasizing that this movie will become a hit after it is released?"

"It's possible. She's the only one who pretends. She reads a book all day long, as if she's different from us. What's she pretending for? I feel sick when I see her."

"Hehe, now I can appreciate her expression. How does it feel to be scolded by the whole internet for starring in a bad movie?"

Yan Gou'er paused at the door for a moment, his body a little stiff, but he still pushed the door open and walked in, without looking around, and returned to his seat.

Ling Qi and Xing Fei were shocked.

Ling Qi said: "Yan Gou'er, when did you come back? Didn't you hear what we said?"

Xing Fei added: "Yan Gou'er, well, Ling Qi and I didn't mean anything else. We just felt that we were students of the Imperial Film Academy after all. Even if we couldn't be picky, we should act in films directed by serious directors. We shouldn't bring shame to our school, don't you think?"

Ling Qi also said: "Yes, Yan Gou'er, we are doing this for your own good, we really have no ill intentions! We are members of Diying, these three words are better than anything else, we should always stick to it."

Yan Gou'er's breasts heaved, her teeth bit lightly, and her pair of pink fists were quietly clenched.

Even when facing those vicious rumors, slander and speculation, she had never experienced such strong emotional ups and downs, but she was genuinely angry at Xing Fei and Ling Qi's seemingly well-intentioned advice.

She finally understood Wang Hong's feelings of anger and powerlessness.

She really wanted to have a big fight with Ling Qi and Xing Fei:
What do you know?
What do you young masters and young ladies who are spoiled, come from wealthy families, and are born to enjoy conditions better than others know? !

Do you know how difficult it is for us to say that you are not picky? Who wouldn't want to star in a famous director's movie if given the chance? Who wouldn't want to choose the best resources?

But do we have a choice?

We don’t have a choice!
Why do you, who have taken away all the opportunities and reaped all the benefits, still criticize us from a moral standpoint?

Do you still need to tell us that we made the wrong choice?

Why? !

Yan Gou'er took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The anger of the weak is nothing but a joke in the eyes of the strong.

Yan Gouer sat down, opened the book, and said calmly:
"Then let the facts speak for themselves."

"what?"

Ling Qi didn't hear clearly.

Xing Fei heard it clearly but seemed surprised.

Yan Gou'er did not answer and started reading quietly.

The sunlight shone through the window, casting patches of light on her face. Her eyes were clear and bright, her snow-white skin was like delicate porcelain, and her slightly pursed lips showed a touch of firmness and decisiveness.
