Chapter 573: Everyone Has Vanity
At that time, Xue Yu was drenched in cold water. He had never thought that he would quit the entertainment industry. From a youth of fifteen or sixteen years old to a middle-aged man now, it was as if he had spent half of his life to build a kingdom—how determined would he be to throw it away overnight?
Xue Yu had made this decision after tossing and turning for several nights, but he was not happy at all.
After Yun Xiangxiang explained it to him, Xue Yu finally understood.
“Senior Brother, what is sister Xu Zi’s attitude?” Yun Xiangxiang asked after listening to him.
“She doesn’t support me quitting the circle. She said she likes me standing on the stage, but as a man, how can I put a woman in a difficult position?” Xue Yu’s expression softened at the mention of Xu Zi.
Yun Xiangxiang could feel that Xue Yu really liked Xu Zi.
“Senior Brother…” Yun Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment before saying, “I admit that Sister Xu Zi is a good woman, but you have to find out if she really likes you as a man, or if she’s a fan who idolizes you. Also, if only one side of a relationship is moving forward, then this relationship will not reach its end.”
She didn’t want to talk too much about others. If it were not for the fact that she and Xue Yu had a deep relationship, she wouldn’t have said so much.
She would stop when she was done. She would let Xue Yu think about the rest on his own. Moreover, she was not sure, so she couldn’t make a decision.
It was already early March after the shooting of the commercial. Yun Xiangxiang’s birthday was less than a week away.
She contacted Song Mian every day and knew about his situation. Yun Xiangxiang had never urged him, so she quietly waited for the result.
At the end of the first week of March, Yun Xiangxiang received another easy job as the voice actor for “Flying Sky.” Xue Yu also came. The other actors had to do their own voice acting. This was Xie Manliang’s request.
It was as if voice acting was a basic requirement for the actors in their country. An actor had to have this skill.
“Thinking about it, I heard that Sister Lan found a variety show for Sister Huarong.” While the voice actor was resting, Liang Xinrong sat next to her and suddenly brought up this topic.
Yun Xiangxiang was expressionless. “Sister Huarong is Sister Lan’s actor. It’s only right for Sister Lan to find a job for her.”
Unless the company called for her, she basically didn’t return to the company. She didn’t know what happened at the company.
“But Sister Lan had a big fight with Sister Huarong for some reason. Now, everyone is trembling in fear. It’s really scary when Sister Lan’s face is dark.” Liang Xinrong was dejected.
“Sister Lan is a woman after all. We’re all women, so we’ll think more about you.” Yun Xiangxiang still had a good impression of Wen Lan. She was a woman with ability, resourcefulness, and a strong heart.
Back when Hua Xiangrong and Lu Huanong were at their peak, she was also very pleased with herself. Many people said that she would soon become a platinum-tier agent.
If only Hua Xiangrong hadn’t…
Maybe Wen Lan would really become a platinum-tier agent.
In the end, Hua Xiangrong had implicated Wen Lan. Wen Lan hadn’t let her down in any way.
Ever since Hua Xiangrong had left, Lu Huanong had been frozen, and Wen Lan had lost her right-hand woman. Perhaps only Liang Xinrong had some spiritual energy.
However, Liang Xinrong’s starting point was far from Yun Xiangxiang’s. It was impossible for her to climb to such a high position in just a few years.
An actor could take up to five years to become reputable, or at least ten years to usher in an era that belonged to them.
Some people might never be popular in their lifetime. Of course, there were also some people who became famous immediately after they debuted. They were the kind of people who became famous when they were young. However, there were very few people who could become evergreen. They came and went quickly.
“Do you have any plans for the future?” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Xinrong was a little overwhelmed by the favor. “I plan to be in a TV series. It’s too difficult to start a film.”
Not everyone was as lucky as Yun Xiangxiang. Every film would bring a huge profit equivalent to the box office.
Look at Wei Shanshan who debuted at the same time as Yun Xiangxiang, didn’t she also switch to the small screen to become a popular little flower today?
“Film is the way to go international,” Yun Xiangxiang had to remind her.
She was someone who had crossed paths with both sides. She understood the popularity of television dramas too well. They could only be popular in China forever. Moreover, many people would gradually forget about this person after the television dramas were broadcasted. If she didn’t have the next popular work as a stepping stone, she would quickly decline.
Although film was difficult, once it had risen to the top and established its position, there was no way to go down.
Moreover, now was the time for the film industry to rise, and it was a good opportunity to stand out.
Unlike her, Liang Xinrong didn’t start out as the lead. However, she had participated in the film led by Xie Manliang, and her role was still very important.
Based on this alone, there would be a chance to film. After all, everyone was waiting for the results of “Flying Sky.” Now, inviting the actors to participate in “Flying Sky” could also be considered an investment. Once “Flying Sky” became popular, it would have the gimmick of promoting a new drama.
Liang Xinrong was just unable to be the mainstay for the time being.
Even Yun Xiangxiang might not have had the chance to be the mainstay if the second film was not “University Dream.”
It was the results of “University Dream” that established her position as the female lead.
Regarding this, Liang Xinrong was silent for a while before she calmly said to Yun Xiangxiang, “But the film industry has you.”
She and Yun Xiangxiang were actors of the same age. The film industry was very big, and Yun Xiangxiang would definitely not be able to swallow it all by herself. However, with Yun Xiangxiang as a comparison, it was too difficult for people of the same age to shine.
The television industry was different, and it was uneven. Liang Xinrong thought that she was better than Yun Xiangxiang, at least her acting skills could be recognized in the television industry.
“Think about it, Sister. I entered the entertainment industry with one goal: to become famous.” Liang Xinrong was very honest. She stood on the steps. “I have always wanted to be the center of attention since I was young. I like to be pursued. I have an extremely vain heart. I don’t need to achieve much. I just need to become a famous female star.”
Yun Xiangxiang understood that Liang Xinrong didn’t want to be an actress. She didn’t enter the acting circle for the sake of her career. She was different from Yun Xiangxiang. She knew very clearly that she wanted to become a famous female star.
“It’s rare that you have such a clear understanding of yourself and speak about it openly.” Yun Xiangxiang really felt that it was rare.
Many people clearly wanted fame and fortune, but they had to cover it up with a bright and gorgeous coat, portraying themselves as a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.
“I don’t feel that there’s anything to cover up because I don’t feel that liking fame and fortune is a shameful thing. I’m not afraid of being called vain.” This was the first time that Liang Xinrong was so open in front of Yun Xiangxiang.
In the past, she always talked less and listened more.
“Everyone in this world has vanity, but everyone’s vanity is different.”
