Lin Daiyu's Battle in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 60
Daiyu was actually a little uncertain,
How far could she and Xiao Zexi go together.
No matter how open this era was,
She still carried the shadow of her previous life in her heart,
She thought that being in a relationship was a matter of a lifetime,
Of course, the goal was to get married.
But she wasn't sure if Xiao Zexi thought the same.
Maybe after a while, he would want to break up?
Therefore, Daiyu didn't agree to Xiao Zexi's pursuit, even though she also liked him in her heart.
What happened in her previous life... she didn't want and couldn't go through it again,
The feeling of her heart dying was like a part of her body being ripped off. Just thinking about it made her heart feel like dead ashes, and the pain was heart-wrenching.
Daiyu didn't know if she could bear it a second time.
So she made it clear to Xiao Zexi that after she graduated,
If he didn't change his mind,
The two of them would consider being together.
— — together in the true sense, with a marriage certificate and a wedding banquet, openly together.
Xiao Zexi... what else could Xiao Zexi say? Of course, he chose to listen to her.
Even if he repeatedly promised that he would never change his mind,
He originally wanted to marry her as his bride, but the goddess didn't believe him!
So what could he do? He could only listen to her.
Of course,
He didn't completely listen to her. After all, according to Daiyu, the two of them should get along as normal friends. How many times could normal friends meet and call each other in a year?
Of course, that wouldn't do.
So Xiao Zexi would call her from time to time,
When Daiyu was free,
He would also go to her house to make his presence known. Of course,
Such times were extremely rare,
After all, Daiyu was currently popular, and it was a good time to rise. She had too little free time.
Visiting... ever since the scandal last time, Daiyu had strictly forbidden him from visiting.
Therefore, Xiao Zexi was also suffering.
However, as long as he thought about how in two years, the goddess would be his wife, he didn't feel that it was difficult. It was just two years, 24 months, 730 days... of time!
It wasn't long, it wasn't long... sob sob, he could afford to wait!
Even if the goddess did not agree for the rest of his life, he could afford to wait.
Bah bah bah, I can't curse myself like that. I have to think positively.
Xiao Zexi was familiar with Ah Q's spirit and was very good at comforting himself.
The two of them talked on the phone for a while before Daiyu packed up and went to the set.
For this type of sci-fi film, there was a lot of post-production, so most of the time, it was performed in front of a green screen. Of course, even so, there was no need to worry about his production. After all, he was one of the top talents in the industry. Hollywood's production standards were known to all. Moreover, this was a film that the T family's sugar daddy had specially spent money to promote Daiyu's film, so the production could only be good.
After all, the T family didn't lack money.
As the absolute female lead of Starry Academy, Daiyu's scenes were very important. The director was also someone who didn't tolerate any mistakes. Even though Daiyu was praised by others for being born to act and had a lively performance, the director still wanted to reshoot it over and over again until he was satisfied.
Daiyu was a delicate little girl and had never experienced such a thing. When the director was in the zone, he was very fierce and often shouted. The first time he shouted at Daiyu, she was so frightened that tears fell from her eyes. Through her tears, she saw the director's fierce face. He was like a demon from a fairy tale!
It scared her so much that she almost had a nightmare. However, Daiyu also knew that the director was striving for perfection so that he could present a better film.
After crying, she wiped her tears and persevered. She gritted her teeth and acted, completely immersing herself in the role of the mermaid princess.
The main reason why she couldn't bring herself into the role previously was that Daiyu had worn aqua-blue colored contact lenses for this shoot.
Daiyu had never come into contact with such things before. Putting such unfamiliar and cold things in front of her eyes — just the thought of it was scary!
She couldn't not wear them. After all, she was an Asian and had naturally black eyes. Most of the other stars in the film crew were Westerners and had naturally colored eyes. They just had to act as themselves.
Colored contact lenses … were simply torturous!
Daiyu had been trying to overcome this, so her acting had always been criticized. The other people in the film crew didn't speak the same language as her and even had a natural sense of racial superiority. They were already very reluctant to be paired with a greenhorn like her, not to mention that her performance wasn't outstanding.
Other than during filming, they ignored her for the rest of the time. Daiyu wasn't a lively and sociable person. She was also very sensitive. Of course, when she saw the other party acting this way, she wouldn't stick her warm face to their cold buttocks. Whenever she had time, she would get used to the colored contact lenses and practice her acting skills.
Her acting skills improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
During filming, the director no longer yelled at her. Instead, he became gentle and soft. Only then did the others realize that this beauty from a mysterious ancient country in the East wasn't just a pretty vase.
She had perseverance, willpower, and beauty. With such a person and such good resources, she was bound to become famous.
Only when they realized this did they forget about their grudges and turned to get on Daiyu's good side.
Regarding this, the other people in the film crew, including her manager, Wang Jin, felt a little indignant for her. They felt that these people were too snobbish and didn't understand why Daiyu still had to smile and greet them.
In response, Daiyu faintly smiled.
Why didn't she greet them with a smile?
If it were the young and frivolous Lin Daiyu of the past, she might have really felt angry about this. Because the Lin Daiyu of the past had only seen and heard about a small world. Now, she had flown all over the world and seen the bustling international metropolises. She also had a taste of the poor and remote mountain villages. Her state of mind was already different. Why should she get angry over people who didn't matter to her?
After all, the world was so beautiful!
Moreover, in the past, she was sensitive and suspicious. It was just a result of the loneliness of living under someone else's roof. Now, she had money and time. Most importantly, her ability to earn money was top-notch. Why should she care about it?
After all, after this collaboration, who knew if they would meet again in the future?
Daiyu thought things through and comforted the others.
Daiyu's filming progress sped up. During this period, she took a few days off to return to China to participate in the follow-up filming of Papa Yang's variety show.
This variety show became the hottest show of the season. Its viewership ratings soared and it was far ahead of the variety shows on other satellite channels. It also became a phenomenal variety show.
Many satellite channels collectively imitated it. This one was a poem, another was an opera, and another was an idiom.
In any case, the things that were popular in ancient times were brought up by people. It was very conducive to the spread of traditional culture. The higher-ups were very happy. As a result, they gave everyone red packets. Thick red packets!
As for the other ordinary young men and women, they were also popular at this time. Their popularity doubled. Many of the fans who chased after celebrities were elementary and middle school students. When they saw that their idols were so powerful, they also had to work hard!
One by one, they studied hard. The comments below were things like "I want to be your junior", "Such a good-looking person is working so hard. What reason do I have to be lazy", "I want to enter Beijing University", "I want to enter Tsinghua University", and so on.
Anyway, regardless of whether it could be realized or not, one must have a dream. What if it came true?
One could set a small goal first and slowly accumulate it!
For a time, the people of the country were very positive. No matter what, this was a real idol. She had a good outlook and led the fans to be optimistic.
Daiyu also liked this variety show very much. The people in it were all good students with good character and academic performance. They were also similar in age to her. The few of them quickly got along well. They added each other on Weibo and WeChat and often contacted each other in private.
Sometimes, Xiao Zexi was very jealous and also very anxious. After all, the people around Daiyu were all good in character and academic performance. Most importantly, they were the same age as her!
Xiao Zexi always felt that Daiyu disliked him more than Daiyu, so he was very active in taking care of himself in private. He couldn't go out in the future and let people think that he was Sister Lin's father, right?
← _ ← That would be too scary!
It was said that a woman would doll herself up for the one who loves her. In fact, if a man really wanted to be handsome, women would have nothing to do with him!
The key was to let Sister Lin think that he was "born with good looks". He couldn't let Sister Lin know that he was taking care of himself.
He was drunk!
Mother Xiao laughed at him. If he had known that this would happen, why didn't he take care of himself in the first place?
Who was the one who said that taking care of oneself was a woman's job?
She shook her head. This silly son of hers had fallen.
He had fallen for Sister Lin. There was no turning back.
Of course, when she thought that Sister Lin might be her daughter-in-law and that she would also have such a cute little Sister Lin in the future who would call her "Grandma", her heart melted. She couldn't be happier. How could she go back and get her silly son back?
After all, he had done something good in his life — which was to like and pursue Sister Lin.
Daiyu didn't know that her future mother-in-law was so biased. Due to scheduling issues, Daiyu immediately flew to the set overseas after filming a few episodes of the variety show. This time, filming went smoothly.
Soon, it was time to wrap up.
The wrap up party was held at a high-class hotel. Daiyu brought her manager and assistant to the banquet. Of course, as the rich sugar daddy of the T family, they had to send someone to attend!
Daiyu's clothes were all sponsored by the T family. The usually fierce director was all smiles at this moment. It was as if the person who was shouting in the set wasn't him.
Daiyu's performance was very eye-catching. She also had the support of her sugar daddy. At this wrap up party, she was surrounded by many people who wanted to drink with her and make friends. Daiyu had a headache dealing with them. Just as she was about to interrupt them and save her, she saw Wang Jin running over in a panic with a cell phone in his hand.
Daiyu's heart thumped and her face turned pale.
She always felt that the things that came out of Wang Jin's mouth were things that she was unwilling to hear.
Wang Jin's expression was ugly. He pulled Daiyu to a corner and said in a low voice, "Auntie Xu just called. Grandma fell down the stairs and is in the hospital."
Daiyu's body was unsteady. She staggered and almost fell. Wang Jin supported her. "Don't worry. I've already asked Xiao Liu to book the plane tickets. We'll go back immediately."
He comforted her. "Grandma will be fine. Auntie Xu is with her. Your mother, Lin Jia, is also there."
However, Daiyu couldn't hear anything at this moment. The buzzing in her head was like a firework exploding in a daze.
