Quite awkward

The maid's costume was very light, and she wore the simplest hairpin on her head. Qi Yu spent very little time on makeup every day, with only a thin layer of makeup on her face. The makeup teacher even praised her for her good skin and said she didn't need any concealer at all.

Despite this, when compared in front of the camera, Qi Yu is much more eye-catching than the heroine Jiang Mengzhi in terms of figure, face, posture and temperament.

But capital only recognizes people. This play is to make the protagonist famous. Why should she, a small supporting role, steal the show?

"The person who played my maid was so scene-stealing that the director said he couldn't tell I was the main character in the clip."

Jiang Mengzhi privately complained about Qi Yu to his assistant, his tone contemptuous and disdainful.

The assistant echoed, "It's hard to tell if she'll become a big hit."

Qi Yu hid in the corner, feeling very depressed and experiencing an indescribable grievance.

Because her skin was pale, she had to ask the makeup artist to apply a dark foundation on her. This way, when she stood next to Jiang Mengzhi, she could quickly highlight his beauty.

Jiang Mengzhi is from a girl group. Her previous job was singing and dancing. This is her first time to switch to acting.

After four years of systematic training, Qi Yu could easily tell that Jiang Mengzhi didn't have much of an acting foundation. She'd get stuck whenever she had more than three lines. She also had a problem with her expressions fluttering, leading to numerous NGs during filming, which burdened the other actors.

Qi Yu didn't get angry and acted with her over and over again.

Jiang Mengzhi's acting is getting worse and worse, while Qi Yu's acting is getting better and better.

The director saw this and pointed at Qi Yu and said to Jiang Mengzhi, "Can you learn from them and just stand still without making so many small movements? Didn't you learn the etiquette of the ancients in advance?"

Jiang Mengzhi pursed his lips in grievance, then tilted his head and glared at Qi Yu unhappily.

“What a good pretense!”

How can you act without pretending?

Qi Yu secretly let out a breath of foul air.

It is very difficult for young actors to survive in the entertainment industry as they have to look at the faces of popular stars at every turn.

She didn't have many expectations, she just wanted to complete the job well and get her salary.

After returning to the hotel, Qi Yu told Xiang Wei what had happened in the past few days. Xiang Wei was very busy and could only find time to reply to her.

Qi Yu logged onto Weibo and saw that Xiang Wei and a man's names were on the hot search list. When she clicked on it, she saw a promotion for a dating variety show.

Netizens in the comment section below think that the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and their auras match, and they hope that the program team can tie Xiang Wei and the other party together.

Xiang Wei and this CP pair have become the biggest trump card of the show. Whenever related materials are released, CP fans rush to join in the fun.

Xiang Wei and his partner instantly became popular on the Internet.

Qi Yu was happy for her best friend and stopped confiding her troubles to her.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed in the hotel, Mu Yanqing called.

Qi Yu thought that Mu Yanqing's wedding was next Friday, and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, she finally picked up the phone.

"Ayu, I'm downstairs in your residential complex, let's meet."

"Brother, I'm filming in Hengcheng. I'm sorry I missed you. What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me over the phone."

Qi Yu spoke in a relaxed tone, not letting Mu Yanqing notice any clues about her emotions.

"Then...are you free to go back to Linjiang on the 28th? Nianhan and I are getting married on that day."

"I have to film on the 28th and can't take leave from the crew. I'm sorry. Happy wedding, big brother. I'll give you two gifts when I get back."

Mu Yanqing paused and stopped forcing it.

"Ayu, take care of yourself when you're out. Remember to call me if you have any problems."

“Yes, I will.”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yu wiped away her hot tears, turned off the lights and lay down to sleep.

She suffers from insomnia late at night.

I had to try my best to clear my mind of distracting thoughts and force myself to fall asleep.

-

I opened my eyes and it was bright outside.

Qi Yu changed her clothes and rushed to the crew.

When someone looked at her, they showed pity in their eyes.

“Have you checked your phone?”

"What's wrong?"

Qi Yu has been busy since getting up and has no time to pay attention to online trends.

The other party handed over the phone directly.

The characters in the video are Qi Yu and Jiang Meng

Everything was normal at the beginning. Jiang Mengzhi was speaking his lines. Qi Yu looked up at him, but rolled her eyes as if in contempt. She then pulled Jiang Mengzhi's wrist, causing him to stagger.

This is the plot of the play, they are just acting it out.

But after editing and adding guiding text, it was clear that Qi Yu was bullying Jiang Mengzhi.

Jiang Mengzhi's fans felt sorry for their idol and began to blast Qi Yu endlessly online. Her Weibo account was overwhelmed, and the comment section and private messages were full of ugly insults.

Since Qi Yu often interacted with Xiang Wei on Weibo, Xiang Wei was also implicated. Netizens said that she was careless in making friends and asked her to cut ties with Qi Yu as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Jiang Mengzhi updated a Weibo post, which directly pushed the matter to a climax.

She simply sent three tear emojis.

Her fans were convinced that their idol was being bullied, and they took to the official Weibo account to defend their rights and shouted at the filming site, which directly led to the suspension of Qi Yu's scenes in the morning.

Qi Yu sat dejectedly in the corner waiting for news, and finally received the notice that the role was replaced.

The person in charge came over, sighed, and thought for a while.

"Alas, I know you've been wronged, but Jiang Mengzhi is a big star, and we, the subordinates, can't say anything."

"Xiao Qi, you haven't been filming for many days anyway. According to the contract, you have become a risk artist. I can only pay you according to the salary of an extra."

Qi Yu felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't say anything.

She returned to the hotel like a zombie and just lay down when she immediately received a text message asking her to vacate the room. The crew gave her only one day to move out of the hotel.

At this time, her phone number was exposed on the Internet, and strange calls kept coming into her phone. Jiang Mengzhi's fans wanted to find a channel to vent their anger and insult Qi Yu.

Qi Yu covered her face with her hands and cried, sobbing softly, and finally cried until her whole body couldn't help shaking.

She really tried hard, why is her luck still so bad?

It was obvious that she just wanted to make money and had no expectations of becoming famous, but this road was too bumpy and she saw no hope.
