Chapter 80: The Purest One

What Yun Xiangxiang said was food for thought for the crowd . Not many people in the acting industry had the guts to say something like that; it would be akin to destroying their source of income, since a lot of them didn’t have any piece of work . But when probed deeper, who didn’t rely on their works to become famous among the actors of the last generation?

Soon, Yun Xiangxiang was trending on Weibo again . The topic this time was #YunXiangxiangTalksaboutChasingafterIdols#

A famous verified account posted a long wall of text on Weibo .

[The World is Changing V: “If it’s possible, I hope that one day, everyone can treat actors the same way as they would other staff . I hope that their craze is only directed to the film and the character played by the actor . I hope they don’t for some reason get unconditionally obsessed with some stranger that they don’t know, don’t understand, and is irrelevant to them . ” @Actor Yun Xiangxiang

I really cried when I heard this . My uncle used to have a complete family, until my cousin started chasing after her idols when she was in her rebellious stage . She played truant, stole, lied, and even fought with someone until she got herself into the hospital . All for the idol she liked .

She fought with her parents like they were her most bitter enemies at home, but she would give her everything to a stranger . It was chilling to the heart .

But what could they do about it? They still had to raise their own kid themselves . To that end, my uncle’s family never found peace for even a day . I hope that my cousin can wake up even as I dream . I believe that there are a lot of families like this . I have always hoped that a public figure would stand up and wake these sorry souls up .

I have never expected these words to come out of a minor . It doesn’t matter if you can or cannot do it in the future; I am now your fan just because of your speech! As long as you remain unchanged, I will not give up . ]

Had it been someone else who said those, they would be completely roasted by those who pretended to be enlightened . They would accuse them of being a case of sour grapes . They would accuse them of revealing their ugly face of jealousy just because they couldn’t get the glory and be in that spot .

But Yun Xiangxiang was different . She was an actual actress . Since she was just starting out, naturally she wasn’t an A-lister . But she had the chips to say that; going by her age, current abilities, and her debut work .

Those who disagreed had no grounds to criticize her no matter which side they were on .

She wasn’t wrong . Fans weren’t idol’s appendages . Nor were they their students or children . They also weren’t tools for the idols to gain something . No fans would degrade themselves just to rebuke her .

These fans of various idols couldn’t move a finger . Those who didn’t chase after idols wished they could like the post more than once . The actors who disliked or even despised Yun Xiangxiang didn’t dare to stand up at this moment .

So there was only praise for Yun Xiangxiang on the Net . A great deal of old artists and actors followed her .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t care much about online affairs concerning herself . She basically wouldn’t say anything unless someone called her out to bash her .

She put all her effort into the military training . Her reputation in school was gradually rising . Since their course only had six girls and they lived next to each other, the other five basically formed a clique with her as their core . It was because she was generous, knew a lot, and acted like a leader even though she was the youngest among them .

Yun Xiangxiang made little to no mistakes since military training started . Putting Song Qian’s tips aside, her ordeal during the filming of “University Dream” was already tougher than the military training .

“Oh, Xiangxiang . Are you made of steel?” Half a day’s military training was over . Zhu Yuan, who became Yun Xiangxiang’s fangirl because of the incident last time, collapsed beside her .

She wasn’t just looking at her with normal admiration when she noticed that she still looked fresh, “Look at the boys over there . They aren’t as relaxed as you are . If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that you came from a military family and were used to this . ”

“It was plenty hotter when I was filming ‘University Dream . Sometimes I have to walk a stretch of path countless times from the mountaintop to the bottom . ” Yun Xiangxiang smiled modestly, “The instructor is already very humane . She did her best to pick a place with shade for us . And she didn’t even torture us during the hottest period . ”

Who knew why the instructor was obviously gentler to them than to other units . Maybe it was because their unit performed decently .

Of course, although it was relatively gentle, the training was still herculean in reality . Not a bit of the necessary training was reduced . Emergency roll calls at midnight started recently . It was devastatingly torturous .

“You completely changed how I view celebrities…” Tao Manni flopped down on the chair . She looked like a soft jello who didn’t have an inch of bone in her body .

“I have also watched ‘University Dream . ’ You really could sacrifice yourself to turn yourself into that horror . Also I noticed that there wasn’t any editing in some scenes where you were wounded . Those were real wounds . ” Ma Linlin already wanted to ask about that for a long time .

“Those were accidents during the filming . It wasn’t arranged in the script . I only endured it to not mess up the scene . Teacher Han kept them because of that . ” Yun Xiangxiang nodded .

Teacher Han and the others were terribly nervous when she was wounded in the beginning . She even had to reassure them .

Han Jing gradually reached an understanding with her when she saw her not being squeamish . Quoting Teacher Han, she couldn’t get hurt for nothing . That was why those scenes must be added into the film for the audience to see clearly . It would also enrich their film which used this theme by leaps and bounds .

“I have decided to never miss even a single film where Xiangxiang appears . I’ll also drag everyone around me to the cinema,” Feng Xiaolu raised her hand .

Everyone else agreed to it .

“I don’t really make that kind of sacrifice in every film . I was fearless because I knew nothing at that time . I’m not sure I would dare to do it if you want me to do it again now . ”

She almost lost her life horrifically a few times, “Artists back in the day used to do this too . They would sacrifice their health to learn a skill for a film . ”

“That was back in the day . Everything relies on professional stuntmen now . That, or magical editing,” Ma Linlin ranted, “That’s why I really don’t like to watch dramas or films now . Dramas are unnecessarily dragged out, and I don’t know what the films are trying to say . ”

“There are still excellent pieces of work . ” There weren’t a lot of them, but they were still there . Yun Xiangxiang thought that some pieces were great .

“Hey, Xiangxiang . You said nobody pursued you before on the interview last time . Was that true?” Tao Manni found it unbelievable .

“It’s true . Our school has elementary, junior high, and senior high departments . My dad’s a teacher in the senior high department . Nobody dared to pursue me . The most they did was give me some gifts,” Yun Xiangxiang’s relationship history was a complete blank .

“Hahahaha . Oops, I didn’t expect the prettiest one among us to be the purest,” Ma Linlin teased .

“Xiangxiang, I think that there won’t be a lot of people in our university who can work up their courage to pursue you,” Zhu Yuan thought that it was lamentable, “You’re almost a myth in our university now . You’re standing somewhere too high up there . And now you’re an existence they look up to . ”

The kind that was put on a pedestal and made everyone else feel inferior .
