Chapter 65: I'm Going Crazy with Jealousy

In the back row, Xing Fei and Ling Qi had distorted faces. They had not eaten breakfast and arrived in the classroom before Yan Gou'er and Wang Hong. At this time, their teeth were almost broken.

In the past, they were the two most famous people in the class.

Teikyo Film Academy is far from being as glorious as it was in the early 2000s.

In the early 2000s, every level was full of stars. Many people had produced several masterpieces while still in school, and there were even many who won Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Television Award.

But things are different now. After 10, there are many ways to debut. Teikyo Film Academy is no longer the only source for cultivating stars, and it can even be said that it is not the most important source.

There are basically only a few big and small people in each class. People like Xing Fei and Ling Qi, who play third and fourth roles in big productions, are already very outstanding. Many more have never been heard of by the public and are simply amateurs.

But it's different now.

Yan Gou'er leapt above them and became the most dazzling person in the class.

Why? !

How can this country girl with no status and no background surpass them? !

They feel so anxious and uncomfortable!
They resent!

They are jealous!

Why can't we become popular with such great resources and such a strong background, but you can become popular just by luck? Is this fair? ! It's not fair at all!
Also, why was it you who participated in Cheng Cheng’s movie in the first place? Why not us?

If we had participated in Cheng Cheng’s movie, would we have become famous too?

No, we are definitely more popular than Yan Gou'er!

as well as--

Why is your box office so good for "All or Nothing"? !

Can't you be less nice?
Can't you just cut off Yan Gou'er's hope? ! ! !

Ever since "All or Nothing" earned 100 million at the box office on the second day of the National Day holiday, Ling Qi and Xing Fei have been cursing maliciously: "All or Nothing will flop, soon! All or Nothing will flop at the box office! All or Nothing will flop, soon!
However, the box office performance of "All or Nothing" seemed to have drunk the poisonous milk of the two of them. Instead of falling, it got higher day by day. This phenomenon that went against the rules of the box office not only shocked the public, but also shocked many people in the industry!
Moreover, "All or Nothing" not only has a huge box office, but also has a huge popularity. Several terms are searched on the hot search list every day, and none of them are repeated:
#Would you go for a job overseas with a monthly salary of 15#, #Cheng Cheng's filming speed#, #Cheng Cheng's role#, #I almost couldn't recognize Wen Lian#, #Who is resisting the box office of Go All In#, #Yan Gou'er's Go All In Breaks 2021 billion poster#, #Li Yang's movie really eats toilet paper#, #Qi Hao thanks director Cheng Cheng for his firm choice#, #Fuhai City Public Security invites citizens to watch Go All In for free#, #Go All In is in the top 5 box office of #, #Li Yang, I've been waiting for an opportunity#, #Cheng Cheng took care of everything for Go All In#, #Wen Lian posted a long article to thank the crew of Go All In#, #Yan Gou'er's famous scene of tears#, #Cheng Cheng attracts the attention of Chaoyang residents#, #Cheng Cheng is reported to have moved out of Chaoyang community#, #The number of tourists to Southeast Asia dropped by two-thirds during the National Day#, #Cheng Cheng alludes to Xianghua Entertainment and Fanghua Beauty Skin famous scene#, #Cheng Cheng doesn't look like an actor#
If it doesn’t look like you’re acting, then just go in!
A series of hot searches have made Ling Qi and Xing Fei numb!

Why do you have so much drama?
In addition to the trending searches on Weibo, major media outlets also reported on the incident in an indescribable manner:

"Domestic films are both critically and commercially successful and demonstrate cultural confidence" - Zhengguan News.

"Go for broke and play is real!" - Tianxia Youth Network.

"Don't risk everything because of greed and ambition | Watching dramas with a legal eye" - Beijing Legal Network.

"All or Nothing became a hit during the National Day holiday, and the unpopular Cheng Cheng made a comeback!" - Fuhai Entertainment Media.

It’s really hateful!

Soon, the class bell rang.

Cai Tianxiang walked in on time. He put his textbook on the table and looked at the roster. He raised his head:
"Yan Gou'er, is Yan Gou'er here?"

"Teacher, I'm here." Yan Gou'er stood up.

Cai Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of kindness, and said:
"Yes, I saw your performance in the movie. It was great. Keep up the good work and keep going. With your skills, you will have a chance to become a big star in the entertainment industry."

Everyone looked at Yan Gou'er with envy.

This can be considered as leaving a name in the eyes of Teacher Cai Tianxiang, and she will definitely be indispensable in future opportunities.

Yan Gou'er nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Cai, I will continue to work hard."

Cai Tianxiang said: "Well, sit down."

Then he read out the names of other students and began to call the roll.

However, after Yan Gou'er, his roll call was just a simple roll call. He no longer asked people to stand up, nor did he encourage them. He just called the names. Even Ling Qi and Xing Fei, who were the most outstanding students in the class before, were no exception.

Ling Qi was even more jealous and whispered:
"Isn't it just a lucky movie that gained some popularity? Why are you so arrogant?"

Xing Fei echoed, "That's right, it's just a temporary popularity. Her unrecognizable face will be forgotten by the public after a while. There is never a shortage of beauties in the domestic entertainment industry, but what is lacking is a steady supply of resources."

Ling Qi said: "That's right, this is a short-lived popularity. If you want to gain a long-term foothold in the domestic entertainment industry, relying on temporary popularity and luck is far from enough."

"By the way," Xing Fei asked, "Ling Qi, aren't you participating in Master Gong's movie? When will you join the crew?"

Speaking of this, Ling Qi's face immediately lit up, and she said:

"We have joined the crew this month, and the film has been scheduled in advance. It will be released on New Year's Day."

Xing Fei said enviously: "Wow, New Year's Day! This is a golden period! I envy you so much!"

Ling Qi asked, "What about you? When will your TV series start filming?"

Xing Fei said: "It has already started filming. I will join the crew next week."

Ling Qi held Xing Fei's hand and said, "Wow, congratulations, Fei Fei."

Xing Fei smiled and said, "Hey, let's work hard together."

The two people's eyes met, and the meaning was self-evident: they wanted to be famous! They wanted to be extremely popular! They wanted to be above Yan Gou'er! They wanted Yan Gou'er to know what was most important in the entertainment industry! It was not just one or two so-called hit movies!

You, Yan Gou'er, are a flash in the pan! Cheng Cheng is also a flash in the pan!
What really matters is the ability to produce continuously.

This, do you Yan Gouer have it?
Does he Cheng Cheng have it?
No!

Only we have!
-

Wang Hong looked back from time to time and sneered:

"Xiao Gou'er, I think Xing Fei and Ling Qi are going crazy with jealousy right now! They have filmed so many dramas, used so many resources, and acted so arrogant all day long, but in the end, you just filmed one drama and you're better than them. It's really funny."

"Ah."

Yan Gou'er listened carefully to Cai Tianxiang's lecture without looking away, and responded with a faint "hmm".

Wang Hong was already used to her bestie being like this, she was not affected at all and continued to speak happily:
"I've seen their noses aren't noses and their eyes aren't eyes these past two days. I feel so good. They always looked down on us before, thinking we had no resources and no background. Now look, who is the clown, hahahaha!"

"You don't know how much effort they put in to become famous. One tried hard to build connections and find resources, and the other even bought trending searches and fans all day long. In the end, she posted a Weibo, but there weren't even a hundred real people following her. After she bought the trending searches, the first comment asked 'Who are you?' It made me laugh to death." Yan Gou'er lowered his head and took notes in his textbook.

“So!” Wang Hong said with emotion, “Xiao Gou’er, it’s really good that you’re famous. Really, with your mentality and conditions, you should be famous! If you’re not famous, it’s not your problem, it’s the problem of this circle.”

"That's great!" She then sighed, looking at Yan Gou'er with a look full of pity, "At least, you don't have to follow my old path."

Yan Gou'er stopped writing and looked at Wang Hong: "Honghong, you didn't say that before."

You seem a little too straight!

Wang Hong was interrupted from casting a spell, and gave a wry smile, saying, "It's not that I'm ignorant. Who knew Cheng Cheng was so strong? If I had been knowledgeable, I wouldn't have been envious of you. I'm going to submit my resume too."

Yan Gou'er said: "Honghong, come and study with me. We will always have the chance. There is no need to--"

Wang Hong showed a self-deprecating smile on her face: "Xiao Gou'er, I can't turn back. I have wasted too much time and I can't give up."

"And..." She looked at Yan Gou'er, "Little Gou'er, not everyone can wait for an opportunity. Do you really think this opportunity is easy to wait for? If Cheng Cheng hadn't turned over, would he have found you?"

Speaking of this, Wang Hong regretted it again: "Alas, I laughed at Cheng Cheng at that time. Damn it, what a good opportunity."

Yan Gou'er said: "If Director Cheng hadn't failed, I might not have had a chance."

Yan Gou'er knew how lucky she was. It was more than just a miracle that Director Cheng chose her.

From film preparation, film review, film shooting, film post-production, film promotion, and film release, which step is not full of difficulties? Which step is not a miracle?
During the preparation stage of the film, Director Cheng Cheng emptied out all his assets, even sold his house, and gambled everything to make the film; during the filming stage, he showed the talent that only top directors possess, arranging everything in an orderly manner and successfully completing the film.

In the post-production stage of the film, he took care of all the work by himself, including editing, composing the music, and composing the theme song. He worked without sleep and completed the editing in just eight days.

During the film's promotion stage, the release date was suddenly advanced. When everyone else was at a loss, he was the one who opened the live broadcast room. In order to promote the film, he sang, performed magic, wrote novels, and acted in sketches. When someone scolded him, he swallowed it. When someone played tricks on him, he pretended not to know, just to keep his promise that everyone would go to watch "All or Nothing" during the National Day holiday.

During the movie release stage, he again relied on his explosive acting skills to make many breakthroughs and carry the box office.

Cheng Cheng always saves the situation with miraculous means.

It is precisely these endless miracles that have made Yan Gou'er so popular today.

Wang Hong said: "That's right, such an opportunity is very rare, and I don't have this blessing anyway."

Yan Gouer frowned and said, "That's what I said, but if I hadn't met Director Cheng, I would have persisted."

Wang Hong held Yan Gou'er's face and said gently, "So, this is where you should succeed. Your idealism just happens to match Cheng Cheng's unconventional style."

Yan Gou'er was slightly stunned. She had never thought about it from this perspective before.

Wang Hong suddenly asked, "Well, Xiao Gou'er, if Director Cheng Cheng has a project in the future, can you recommend me?"

Yan Gou'er said, "Of course, you can. Director Cheng Cheng never picks out the actors' backgrounds when filming. Sister Wen Lian is one of them, as are Brother Li Yang, Brother Qi Hao, and Brother Meng Cai. But Director Cheng Cheng cares a lot about the actors' cooperation. So Honghong, if you want to act in Director Cheng Cheng's play, you should read books and study your acting skills from now on. If there is a chance, I will definitely recommend you to Director Cheng Cheng."

Wang Hong said: "Okay, okay, I'll read. I will definitely read."

-

After class, Yan Gou'er and Wang Hong walked towards the dormitory while talking.

While walking on the road, Yan Gou'er suddenly received a call from Beret.

"Hey, Dao Dao, what's going on?"

"Okay, I get it. Is everyone here? Will Director Cheng be here too?"

"Uh-huh."

"I went back to the dormitory to change clothes and will be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hong asked, "Xiao Gou'er, who's calling?"

Yan Gou'er replied: "It was our assistant director who called. He said there was an offline interview tonight and asked me to attend it."

"Oh!" Wang Hong nodded.

After returning to the dormitory and changing clothes, Yan Gouer prepared to leave.

Wang Hong asked: "Xiao Gou'er, don't you need to touch up your makeup?"

Yan Gou'er shook her head and said, "No need. The organizer provided the makeup team. It would be useless to touch up the makeup now."

"Okay, okay."

Yan Gou'er: "Then I'm leaving?"

Wang Hong: “Yeah.”

Yan Gouer pushed the door and left.

Looking at the closed door and the empty dormitory, Wang Hong became depressed and sank to the bottom:

She laughed at Ling Qi and Xing Fei for not being able to become famous, and she laughed happily, but wasn't she the least famous person in the dormitory? Wasn't she also the one who wanted to be famous the most?

At least Ling Qi and Xing Fei have resources at home and the capital to keep trying and making mistakes. If one drama doesn't work, they can make two, and if two don't work, they can make three. As long as they have enough face, they can always gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

Xiao Gou'er is now very popular. Even if she doesn't cooperate with Cheng Cheng anymore, countless resources will come to her.

But what about her?
Where is her path?

Perhaps because it was difficult to say it, she did not tell Yan Gou'er that her chance was over. Her ex-boyfriend, or maybe he should be called her ex-boyfriend, dumped her aside after playing with her and did not fulfill his original promise at all.

From the time she entered Teikyo Film Academy, it only took her two years to go from her initial persistence to her subsequent disillusionment.

When she was a junior, she began to use her physical advantages to exchange for resources, but she had three boyfriends, but all of them turned out to be the wrong people.

The words she had used with such complacency to teach Yan Gou'er, advising her to exchange her body for resources like she had done, were like a heavy slap in her face.

In the end, she turned out to be the stupidest one.

There is no more perseverance and resources left.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain
What has she been busy with all these years?
