The next day, after waking up and having breakfast, Liu Yuxi went out of the courtyard and strolled around the area to familiarize herself with the girl's school, the surrounding facilities, and the bus routes.

Then I found a nicer internet cafe, turned on a computer, and started learning about current social information.

By recalling the little girl's memories and finding information online, Liu Yuxi discovered that this should be a parallel world. Some of the events and characters in it were familiar to Liu Yuxi in her own world, but some characters and events were different in the two worlds.

A week later, having basically integrated all the information, Liu Yuxi began searching for acting training institutions in the vicinity. Later, through the introduction of a relative, she found a retired professor from the Beijing Film Academy to give her special training.

The relatives did not interfere with Liu Yuxi's ideas. After all, she was already 16 years old, and the family's assets were enough for her to live on even if she did nothing in the future, as long as she did not squander the family fortune. So the relatives were quite supportive of whatever she wanted to do.

Not long after, senior year of high school started early. Liu Yuxi attended academic classes at school, reviewing all the knowledge from the entire high school curriculum, while after school, she studied acting under the guidance of an old professor, practicing the "voice, stage presence, form, and expression" of a performance.

In February, she registered for the entrance exams for the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama. As for the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she did not apply because she did not want to leave Beijing.

Liu Yuxi is not a person with an adventurous spirit. She is used to familiar circles and is unwilling to step into an unfamiliar environment unless necessary, except for tourism.

When the art exam results came out in April, she passed both schools. As for the college entrance exam, Liu Yuxi wasn't worried because her memories had completely merged with the original owner's. The original owner had excellent grades, and she had also systematically reviewed the material over the past six months. Even if she didn't apply to the film academy, she was sure she could get into a top university.

Sure enough, when the college entrance examination results came out, Liu Yuxi scored 622 points. Because her training teacher was a retired professor from the Beijing Film Academy, Liu Yuxi still chose the Beijing Film Academy when filling out her college application.

17-year-old Liu Yuxi is already 1.66 meters tall, and it is estimated that she will grow to 1.68 meters when she comes of age. The girl has an oval face and a bright and cheerful appearance. Perhaps because she has practiced martial arts since childhood, she has a slender figure and a small frame.

Without the pressures of life or the desire for fame, Liu Yuxi spent her entire freshman year peacefully and diligently studying at school.

In her spare time, Liu Yuxi became a member of several clubs, such as an equestrian club and a shooting club. She also enrolled in some training courses, such as learning the guzheng, the pipa, traditional martial arts routines, and military-style outdoor training.

She signed up for anything she thought she might be able to use in the future, as long as time and circumstances allowed. She decided to learn as much as possible throughout her life, whenever she had the chance.

In the second semester of her sophomore year, on the recommendation of her school teacher, she joined Director Ji's film crew and played the fourth female lead in a martial arts drama, a loyal female bodyguard. Director Ji is a relatively famous martial arts drama director in this world, similar to "Big Beard" in Liu Yuxi's original world.

Once the film was released, Liu Yuxi gained some fame and a number of fans in the entertainment industry due to his outstanding action scenes.

It was during Liu Yuxi's summer vacation in 2005, her junior year of college. It was during this summer vacation that, with the advice of her teachers and relatives, she signed a contract with a relatively humane entertainment company—Huanyu Entertainment Company.

Because Liu Yuxi already has a certain level of fame, although the contract is for ten years, the compensation is based on an A-level contract. Of course, if Liu Yuxi's status continues to rise within ten years, the compensation will naturally change accordingly.

Although the current contract has a long term, the revenue sharing with the company is 50/50. Moreover, the company cannot force Liu Yuxi to participate in social events or to take on roles she does not want to play. She already has a lot of autonomy.

Liu Yuxi has a rather easygoing and laid-back personality, and she gets along well with her agent, Sister Li. After communicating their ideas, they found a balance. When accepting scripts, she tries to choose diverse roles, and only after getting Liu Yuxi's confirmation will she finalize a role.

As long as the quality of the endorsements is guaranteed, Liu Yuxi can get about three or four endorsements a year. As for international fashion brand endorsements, they are the most direct standard for measuring a female celebrity's status, and Sister Li is always helping Liu Yuxi to get them. Of course, this is also closely related to Liu Yuxi's status.

As Liu Yuxi's popularity and influence have increased, international brands will automatically come knocking on his door. This way, Liu Yuxi can act according to his own ideas without hindering the company from making money.

Whenever Liu Yuxi wasn't filming, she would observe the veteran actors on set and learn from them.

Because she doesn't have a large social circle, and her life revolves around work and studies, she never takes on multiple roles simultaneously and rarely uses a stunt double. Therefore, Liu Yuxi has always had a very good reputation in the industry. She doesn't engage in backstabbing or manipulative tactics, abides by the law, pays her due taxes, and doesn't sleep with people she shouldn't. So, the controversies of the entertainment industry seem to have always stayed far away from her.

Information flow was not as fast or transparent at that time as it is in later years. By the time blogs emerged in 09, Liu Yuxi had already become a rising star. Her fans perceived her as having good acting skills, a gentle personality, and being dedicated and eager to learn.

When she wrote this in her first blog post: "Please stay close to my work, and stay away from my life! 'Distance makes the heart grow fonder' applies to any relationship! Please grant me the freedom to stroll the streets and eat at roadside stalls as I please! Thank you all, my 'bread and butter' supporters!!! After all, I'm still just a 288-month-old 'baby'!!!"

She immediately became a trending topic that day, and her fan base exceeded 800 million that day, and 2000 million in three days, which made the blog extremely happy. Even after the blog was transformed into Weibo and many celebrities joined, Weibo has always maintained a friendly attitude towards Liu Yuxi.

By 2013, Liu Yuxi had won all three major film awards in China. She was only 28 years old at the time, and the awards at that time were not as worthless as they are now. They were definitely prestigious.

As for foreign awards, Liu Yuxi had no interest in them. After all, she wouldn't need to worry about revealing anything to foreigners when she traveled through time.

After her contract expired in 2015, Liu Yuxi established her own studio, still affiliated with her former employer. Sister Li remained her agent, but now she was the one paying her salary.

At this point, Liu Yuxi became even more laid-back. People in the industry all know what kind of person she is. She really doesn't care whether she plays the lead role or not. If there is a suitable lead role, she will act in it. If there is no suitable lead role, she will act in some challenging roles or roles that she has never tried before.

Some production teams, when they really can't find suitable actors, will also extend invitations to her for supporting roles that require extremely high acting skills.

Of course, her main source of income now comes from endorsements and variety shows. However, she doesn't participate in many variety shows, because if she does too many, the audience might feel disconnected from the characters she plays.

Recently, she had no work commitments, so she participated in a travel variety show, which mainly introduced tourist attractions and promoted traditional culture and intangible cultural heritage through games.
