Chapter 599 (2/2)
Indeed, Nie Zisu was adorable. You could not help but be attracted by her round face and mesmerizing eyes. Her curly long hair and airy bangs was the finishing touch! At the same time, she possessed the demeanor of a top celebrity. No wonder she was the center of attraction, wherever she went.
Such an image made people wonder why such a cute girl would be continuously criticised by the netizens. Even more puzzling was how aloof she was about the entire thing. Reading the comments online would suggest that she did all this for the fame. It was so frustrating!
After Nie Zisu heard Zhao Youyue’s praises, her reactions were quite interesting. An average person would typically maintain their humbleness. However, Nie Zisu did not do so. She made a roaring laughter sound and slapped Lady Zhao’s shoulder excitingly. Then, she said elatedly, “You have good taste. Even I feel that I am cuter! Of course, I’ll admit that you are far more beautiful and elegant, compared to me! Come here! Where do you want me to sign for you?”
Zhao Youyue blinked in surprise. How many fangirls has she already given out her autographs to? Such fluid, practiced lines!
“Ah, I forgot to bring a pen. I would definitely ask for Ms. Nie’s autograph next time…” Lady Zhao, the drama queen, pulled off a regretful face. Of course, she couldn’t give a damn about it.
Zhao Youyue was such an egomaniac, why would she care for some random celebrity? If she wanted to idolize someone, that would be herself. She would never idolize anyone else. She should be the idol.
Nie Zisu went on without skipping a beat, and comforted her, “Next time, just bring your pen. I could just sign it on your chest, hehehe”
Her gaze lingered on Lady Zhao’s chest. She looked oddly hungry…
Zhao Youyue could not help but think about Nie Zisu’s fangirls. Nie Zisu was a girl. If she was a guy, her fangirls would most probably be her sex slaves.
It was a normal thing for male idols to have sex with their fans. It was a win-win situation. The fans would have the opportunity to ride their idols. It was an experience they could brag about to others.
“Oh yea, just call me Su Su next time. I heard that you came in through the back door. Nobody is going to believe in your abilities. Of course, that includes me. You should be careful when you perform in the coming days. My fabulous acting skills might crush you and traumatize you!” Nie Zisu added, mockingly. Perhaps this was the arrogance people spoke about. A regular person would never see it any other way.
She was probably like Bai Yunshan – as with herself and as she was with others. Not many could endure and tolerate them.
However, Zhao Youyue was no regular person. The scathing remark wooshed past her ears. She would use her own performance to prove herself.
The filming process went on uneventfully. This was not the legendary celebrity director, Manfred Wong [2]. Normally, it would take up to five outtakes to wrap up the filming process…
Zhao Youyue got over her scenes in single takes. Her cheatcodes left the entire crew and cast shell-shocked. Was she possessed by the ghost of some legendary actress!
Xue Lu was blown away. She profusely apologized to Zhao Youyue and handed out her personal contact. She hoped to work with her in future projects.
Liu Xingxing had distanced himself from Zhao Youyue. Her perfect performance had left him deeply impressed. He had even asked for guidance from Zhao Youyue and had learned a lot from it. He soon became fast friends with Lady Zhao. Taking part in this movie was the best choice that he could have ever made.
The egomaniacal Nie Zisu was crushed by Lady Zhao’s performance. This experience had traumatized her!
Well, she always got over her slumps – she experienced them on a daily basis. Give her a day or two, and she would be back to normal. Then, she would continue posting her beautiful selfies on her Weibo. Her selfies would receive a bunch of comments from her fans, praising her beauty, and she would feel revived!
After bouncing back to her feet, she befriended Lady Zhao…
