Chapter 231: Vicissitudes of Life

“Hahahahaha, Brother Jin, I grew up watching your shows too,” He Xingzhou took the opportunity and guffawed mockingly .

But Lu Jin was a shrewd man . He would never put himself in an awkward position . He also teased, “Out of everyone here, I think only Brother Cang didn’t grow up watching my shows . ”

Lu Jin debuted as a child actor when he was three . Since then, he took part in countless works . Aside from his absence during Grade 9 and Grade 12, he took part in countless popular works over the twenty-odd years he was in the industry .

“And me,” Yun Xiangxiang raised her hands, and everyone looked at her weird . She explained, “I don’t really like to watch TV . ”

“You’re kidding,” Sun Qiluo found it unbelievable .

They became actors because they had that dream thanks to their love of TV shows since they were kids .

Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t a graduate from an acting school, but her acting in her maiden film, “Caring Love”, didn’t look unrefined . Someone who disliked TV couldn’t be born with such acting talents .

“I wasn’t lying . I dislike TV,” Yun Xiangxiang looked awkward . “My mom filled all my time with tutoring and school when I was a kid . If you want me to name any cartoon, I’d only be able to name at most three . ”

If that’s the case even with cartoons, it would be even worse with TV dramas . Yun Xiangxiang disliked TV in her past life too . She would only watch it to research their acting .

She wasn’t biased against TV dramas . She just didn’t have the time to finish a whole show . Watching films was a faster affair .

“I can assure you that Xiangxiang is being honest,” Wei Shanshan nodded .

She would frequent Yun Xiangxiang’s home for meals during the filming of “Caring Love . ” Yun Xiangxiang’s mother would occasionally regale them about Yun Xiangxiang’s childhood . The trophies that filled her house were also evidence of her unusual childhood .

“Nobody’s always born great,” Lu Jin concluded .

“Okay, okay . Let’s stop talking about life . Go back and have some rest,” Yun Xiangxiang ended the conversation .

Wei Shanshan stayed with Yun Xiangxiang . Everyone had a standard room . As Wu Zhao sponsored their flights, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t bring her assistant and Ai Li along .

She was just going to be here for a few days, after all . If she insisted on bringing someone over, she would seem like an invalid .

Everyone brought someone over . But that probably wasn’t their idea . It must have been arranged by their agent or the company .

On the other hand, He Wei gave Yun Xiangxiang a lot of space . He would respect and acknowledge her decisions .

Wei Shanshan wasn’t far away from her crew . She came here with her agent, but he left after handing her to Yun Xiangxiang . She came here to hang out with Yun Xiangxiang . Her agent would bring her back to the crew tomorrow .

“It’s more relaxing being with you,” Wei Shanshan threw herself onto the bed and lay there in a sprawl .

“You better think of something to de-stress, or else depression’s going to knock sooner or later,” Yun Xiangxiang was worried .

“That might have really happened if you didn’t help me out this time,” Wei Shanshan tilted her head . “You heard about an actor getting canceled by the internet recently? Every time I remember that I might have ended up like her, I get a chill down my spine . ”

Wei Shanshan was talking about some young actress who starred in a TV drama . Just because she acted as a drop-dead gorgeous lady, groups of the original work’s fans attacked her . Some comments were sharp, some inappropriate, some insulting .

The villainous media outlets would then ride on this trend, making slanderous write-ups just for traffic . There would be a new story about her every day .

“I have no idea what her agent is thinking,” Wei Shanshan couldn’t understand it . “If she was chosen for that role, her company must be backing her up . How could they let her get canceled?”

“The agent might be the one providing these stories, you know,” Yun Xiangxiang poured a glass of water for Wei Shanshan .

“Did the agent bear hatred with the actor? Look at this story . If she’s that bit weaker, she might have killed herself,” Wei Shanshan didn’t believe Yun Xiangxiang .

“Every agent works differently . Some loved to create a ‘facade’ for their actor . Some prefered ‘blitzing up’ theirs . Some liked to give them problems to overcome…,” Yun Xiangxiang saw how agents could be like in her past life .

After taking a sip to wet her lips, she continued, “Everyone’s psychological strength is different . You might break down from all this . But there are some who are strong, and then there are some who would do anything to make a wave of the trend . ”

The world was huge . It accepted every freak . The sky is infinite . It mirrored the vicissitudes of life and the differences between humans .

“Heavens, I can’t accept this,” Wei Shanshan was upset just by reading the news of others . She might go insane if it happened to her .

“This might not be her own idea either,” Yun Xiangxiang sat beside Wei Shanshan . “The actor had lost their autonomy the moment they signed the contract . Especially the part about their image . If they don’t cooperate with the company, then the fate of being sidelined awaits . ”

Every contract would last at least ten years which would be all of someone’s youth . Nobody could afford to waste that .

Everyone wanted to succeed in the industry . Some, like she and Wei Shanshan, were lucky to have met great companies . Some were not as lucky and had to go forward no matter what .

They would put themselves in harm’s way just for the day they regained their autonomy .

“Thanks for the pep talk . Now I feel really lucky . ” Before this, Wei Shanshan still had some complaints about her company .

Yun Xiangxiang counseled her precisely because she knew about this . Brilliant Entertainment was a gem of a company . Wei Shanshan wouldn’t be able to stay real otherwise .

She would either be kicked out of the company or ended up as a fake shell of herself .

“Count your blessings . Aside from it being new and having inexperienced staff, Brilliant Entertainment’s a great company . With that temper of yours, you would been out of the industry soon enough if your company was Huan Yu or The Era of Stars . ”

Yun Xiangxiang poked her forehead, “Don’t just think about yourself when you do anything from now on . You have to think of everyone else . If you want your company to back you up, you have to think about the state your company is in . ”

Never be merciless . Always keep your cool, especially when the problem is going to involve a bunch of people .

Don’t end up being both the victim and the one in the wrong .

Those who can do it should always counterattack . Those who cannot should try to get the best compensation they can .

The damage was already done anyway . Instead of shaping themselves into a villain, they should try to make the most of their situation .
