CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 134: MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT

Chapter 134, Xia Lu was speechless.

"Who said that only the leading actress in a TV drama can become popular? Besides, in ’Legend of Sword and Fairy,’ there isn’t a clear distinction between the leading and supporting actresses between you and Song Yuwan. Whoever gets more screen time and captivates the audience will win the fans. With a little push in the later stages, you’ll definitely become famous soon."

Yan Yuan thought... Is that true?

Alright, let’s say it is!

Bai Chenxi is her husband; isn’t it natural for him to support her?

Thinking this, Yan Yuan felt it wasn’t a big deal.

At worst, she’d agree to register their marriage sooner.

Xia Lu took Yan Yuan to the "Fashion" company.

The staff inside were already prepared.

Yan Yuan was here for a photoshoot, replacing a big star.

And another person was now-popular star actor Song Ming, known for his acting and looks.

Since debuting, he’s had incredible luck; his first movie grossed billions at the box office.

As a result, his career soared, and he quickly rose to the top.

This also made Song Ming appear arrogant and dismissive.

And he’s not even an artist under Fengying.

Xia Lu was just entering with Yan Yuan when they heard Song Ming pointing out things to the make-up artist in the dressing room.

"How did you apply this mascara, it’s so thick. I’m a man; can you make it less girly? How am I supposed to be on the cover like this, how can my fans accept it?" Song Ming was dressed in colorful clothes with studs.

The flashy decoration matched perfectly with his cheeky and punch-worthy expression.

"Is that Xia Lu? Is she your artist?" asked the photographer in charge of the photoshoot.

"Yes!" Xia Lu nodded, "This is Yan Yuan, our company’s most promising newcomer. Don’t worry, this cover shoot will definitely make your magazine sell well."

As Xia Lu finished speaking, Song Ming, who was getting his makeup done, immediately stood from his chair.

The makeup artist, startled, accidentally drew the eyeliner crooked, kept apologizing: "Sorry! Sorry!"

Song Ming, however, pushed the makeup artist aside and turned to look at Chen Lu and Yan Yuan, who were standing a bit away.

He approached Yan Yuan, looked her over, and mocked her plain appearance: "Newcomer? You think you can boost magazine sales? Today, you’re just my sidekick, a mere foil."

After Song Ming spoke, everyone frowned, clearly displeased with his arrogance.

However, his flamboyant and sharp-tongued demeanor, combined with his wild and superb acting skills, won the fans over.

Hearing this, Yan Yuan crossed her arms and said, "A foil? Where do you find such an outstanding foil like me?"

Song Ming chuckled, "What’s happening with Fengying? At least get someone with some reputation. Bringing a newcomer here lowers my standards?"

Hearing this, Yan Yuan was immediately displeased.

She had been in the entertainment circle for a few months but had never met such an arrogant senior.

She still preferred someone like Chu Chen. Someone with strength, acting skills, and manners.

Looks like today’s cover shoot won’t go smoothly.

Yan Yuan looked at Song Ming and chuckled, "Mr. Song, are your standards really that high? I’ve heard it’s been five years, and you still haven’t won Best Actor. Seems like your standards aren’t that high."

Song Ming’s sore spot was hit with those words.

Indeed, over the years, he’s won countless awards, but he’s never won Best Actor.

Provoked by Yan Yuan now, how could he not be angry?

"Newcomer, what’s your name? Do you even want to do the shoot?" Song Ming gritted his teeth, pointing at Yan Yuan, wishing he could kick her out.

All along, people treated him with great politeness when they saw him.

Newcomers like Yan Yuan would typically try to flatter him and call him Brother Song.

But now, not only did she not do that, she outright ignored him, mocking him for not winning Best Actor.

"Listen up. My name is Yan Yuan, Yan as in appearance, and Yuan means a treasure in a deity’s hand. So, if you’re bored, I can play with you. Just afraid you can’t handle it." Yan Yuan found a chair and sat down.

The photographer was dumbfounded on the spot.

He’s been in this line of work for many years and seen plenty of big-headed stars like Song Ming who get arrogant once they gain some fame.

But he’s never seen such an audacious and domineering newcomer, someone who didn’t even regard Song Ming — this woman is wild!

Xia Lu coughed and said to the photographer, "Let’s hurry up with makeup and shoot. There are both indoor and outdoor scenes today, several sets of photos. If we don’t speed up, we might not finish. Yueyue needs to be on set tomorrow."
