Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 264 Plastic Surgery
Today, Shu Chang came to the crew of "Introduction to Architecture" in Shanghai to visit her good sister and chat about personal matters.

After the filming, Liu Yifei went shopping and had dinner with Shu Chang, and they talked in Liu Yifei's room at night, just like when they were little.

As they were chatting, Shu Chang suddenly said, "I want to get a facial."

Liu Yifei didn't understand at first. What does "making a face" mean?
Later I realized that my bestie wanted to have plastic surgery!
She was extremely opposed!
If Shu Chang hadn't told her and had done it secretly, she wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. But since she had told her, she felt she had an obligation to give her some advice.

"Why do you want to have a plastic surgery? Aren't you good the way you are now?" Liu Yifei thought Shu Chang was very beautiful.

Shu Chang said, "It's been hard for me to get acting jobs in the past two years." She said this in a low voice, "The crews I can find aren't good ones."

For movie actors, such as Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing, it is completely fine to shoot one movie a year, but for TV actors, shooting only one movie a year is basically equivalent to having no work.

Shu Chang is in this situation now. She has no movies to act in, and it is difficult for her to play the leading role in a TV series and get a big paycheck.

Several of the dramas she filmed in the past two years were shelved. If they couldn’t be broadcast, they wouldn’t be exposed, which was very hurtful to her.

Liu Yifei advised her: "Don't be impatient, be patient, if you don't have a job, read some books, travel, enrich yourself, wait slowly, and strive for it actively, there will always be a good script."

But Shu Chang said she didn't want to wait anymore, as no one was looking for her.

"I spent the whole of last year filming Journey to the West, playing the role of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, which lasted only a few days. Then I..." Shu Chang couldn't continue.

"Didn't you say you were running around with other groups outside?" Liu Yifei remembered that she was very busy last year.

"I didn't win a single group because they said I was too fat."

"You're still fat?!" Is there any justice in this world? Shu Chang is so thin, yet she is still called fat by the crew?

Liu Yifei scolded the crew: "They don't have eyes, you are still fat like this?"

"They said I had too much fat on my face. Snake-like faces and pointed chins are popular now, but my face looks just like a pancake when I'm photographed."

Shu Chang's face is oval, and the crew would indeed say it's too round.

“So I thought I’d do it, maybe it would be better.”

But Liu Yifei still objected: "You have been acting for so many years, don't you know that once an actor has plastic surgery, he will destroy his future?"

Shu Chang said: "I know, but I have no choice. No one wants me to do it. My agency also agreed to let me do it."

Shu Chang's agency team is even more makeshift than Liu Yifei's Red Star House. At least Red Star House didn't cause any trouble for Liu Yifei, but Shu Chang's home workshop only came up with bad ideas.

Shu Chang added: "I came to tell you because I hope you will support me."

But Liu Yifei reacted strongly: "I don't support it!"

But Shu Chang seemed to have made up her mind and said, "I have another movie to shoot this year. I will make an appointment for the surgery after I finish it." This is the only movie she has this year.

If someone talked to her like this, Liu Yifei would definitely not try to persuade them. If they wanted to die, they could die. But Shu Chang couldn't do that. She couldn't just watch her best friend, whom she had grown up with, jump into the fire pit.

If actors don’t have plastic surgery, then what is this?
"You can just lose weight and make your face thinner, why do you have to have plastic surgery? It's so painful to have surgery on your face."

"You can lose weight and reduce fat without changing your face shape." Shu Chang said.

Liu Yifei did everything she could to persuade her best friend to come back. She said both good and bad things. The two of them talked until almost the early morning, but Shu Chang was still not convinced by her.

Shu Chang wanted to have plastic surgery because of her inner insecurity. She also applied to a foreign language college because she didn't want to be tied to acting for the rest of her life.

As for why he returned to acting, it might be because he felt that the money in the entertainment industry was easy to make. This kind of change is human nature and there is nothing to blame.

Her original family was very bad. To put it bluntly, she grew up living under the care of others. Liu Yifei at least had a mother by her side, but she had nothing.

After talking all night, Shu Chang was also tired, so she stood up and said goodbye: "I'm leaving first, you go to bed early. Don't worry, I still have a movie to shoot, so I won't have the surgery so early. Maybe I'll get over it during this time." After Shu Chang left, Liu Yifei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She always felt that she and Shu Chang were still like children, but after talking so much tonight, Liu Yifei found that she and Shu Chang had grown up.

Both of them have their own troubles. Shu Chang wants to have plastic surgery because her work is not going well. In the past, she would never have thought of this.

Liu Yifei sat up and wanted to call her mother. Liu Xiaoli was half a mother to Shu Chang, so Shu Chang would definitely listen to her advice.

But her finger stayed on her mother's number. It was so late, her mother must be asleep.

Scroll down to the end of the address book, and it’s Pighead Li. Hmm, he must be still awake now, so dial the number!
"Ordinary Man" was efficient today and finished work early. Li Qiutang also went to bed early and heard the phone ringing in a daze.

Li Qiutang squinted and looked at the caller ID: AAA Liu Yifei.

"Hmm?" Li Qiutang responded vaguely.

"Just fell asleep?" Liu Yifei could tell.

"Well, what's up?" Li Qiutang sat up, took the thermos cup on the bedside, and took a sip of water. "The thermos cup you bought is really good. The water I filled it with this afternoon is still warm now."

But Liu Yifei wasn't here to chat with him: "I have something to tell you."

So he told Li Qiutang that Shu Chang wanted to have plastic surgery.

Li Qiutang listened to her and said, "You grew up with her, but she didn't listen to your advice. But she listened to me?"

But Liu Yifei still wanted her boyfriend to persuade her: "You are a director, she may not listen to you."

Shu Chang and Liu Yifei are so close, Li Qiutang really can't just ignore them.

"She didn't have the surgery so early, right? After we finish filming The Man, we'll figure out how to tell her."

"Ah."

"After all, she has to call me brother-in-law, so I can't just ignore her."

"Hey!"

Li Qiutang is shameless: "Why don't you call me brother-in-law? She is a few months younger than you."

Liu Yifei didn't want to dwell on this issue any more: "Anyway, we have to persuade her to come back. We can't let her have plastic surgery. She's not ugly. How can she act after plastic surgery? She's not married yet."

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "You are a really good best friend. You manage her cosmetic surgery, acting, and dating and getting married."

Liu Yifei said: "After all, she grew up with me, I hope she will be well more than anyone else."

Good sisters also have different degrees of closeness. Shu Chang is different from Zhang Liangying, Jiang Yiyan and Yao Beina. Shu Chang is really more important to Liu Yifei.

After talking about Shu Chang, Li Qiutang also asked Liu Yifei: "Has the Pacific Rim crew contacted you recently? I'm too busy here and don't have time to pay attention to them."

"I have contacted them. They will come to China next week to scout locations. We have already arranged a time for the audition."

Li Qiutang encouraged her: "Perform well. Even if it is an internal appointment, you have to convince others. You don't want others to say that I force my own people into the group regardless of whether they are suitable or not."

"Oh, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I noticed that you keep nagging me like an old woman." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "It's late, you should get some rest."

"If you kiss me, I'll fall asleep."

"He looks dead." Liu Yifei cursed with a smile, "Mua."
