Chapter 788: Chapter 331: The First Day of 217, Visiting Gu Family’s Home_2
"You and I are the same type, we have petite faces that look pretty at first glance, but after filming something, others would say, ’Wow, so beautiful!’ Then 10 minutes later, ’Eh? What did that person look like again?’"
"So, this kind of face of mine really can’t play the lead in TV dramas; no amount of resources poured into it would help."
"Normal people would get face blind when they see me on screen, you know?"
"You know those pretty little flowers and grass, they at least have some distinct handsomeness and beauty. Even if they’re not that striking barefaced, with makeup on camera, they can be remembered."
"I, on the other hand, am probably doomed to live in photos, nothing memorable when streaming live..."
"Forget it, forget it, I’ve long given up on being famous."
"Eh? How come she’s so smart?"
Su Huai was somewhat shocked; in fact, from the very first time he saw her, Su Huai felt that this girl was not suited for streaming but could only follow a special path.
Now she was aware of her own limitations, so he didn’t have to go through the effort of convincing her, which felt quite comfortable.
"Oh..."
Gu Jiuyue didn’t care about whether she looked good or photogenic, but she didn’t understand: "Then why did you still try for the Central Academy of Drama?"
"I didn’t know before!"
Quanquan seemed frazzled: "Back then, I thought, since I’m not good at studying, why not learn acting? But while doing assignments, I almost cried to death. After seeing the finished videos, I completely broke down... Ugh!"
"That’s also good."
Su Huai suddenly chimed in, with a mischievous smile: "Seems like you can comfortably work for me now."
"Uh... Wah!" Quanquan’s mouth pouted, and she started to cry.
Hey, you wouldn’t believe it, but her crying scene looked pretty convincing.
"Stop it!" Gu gently tapped Gou Huai, her gaze reproachful yet coquettish, "Stop picking on Quanquan, is making a friend that easy for me?"
Su Huai gestured with a salute, indicating he was defeated and kept quiet.
Then, Quanquan giggled, swiftly ended her act, and the two girls continued their chat on the aforementioned topic, chatting more and more gossipy, and wickedly...
"Your acting skills aren’t bad, huh? To cry on command."
"Whatever, crying is a basic skill, anyone from a drama school can do it. The real challenge is crying with precise emotion, even harder is bringing levels to it, yakkity yak..."
"Are there girls in your class prettier than you?"
"Yeah! There are only 9 girls in our class, all of them are really pretty!"
"Any chance for them to make it big?"
"That’s unlikely."
Quanquan counted on her fingers: "Yang Chuchu herself is also very pretty, tall and fair, but like me, she lacks recognizability and still hasn’t been signed by any company.
Dai Luwa is slightly better, but still heavily relies on makeup.
The most promising is probably Luo Qiuyun? She has potential in acting, and her lips are quite memorable. Our class teacher is very fond of her.
The rest probably don’t stand a chance.
If we think more seriously, I feel like our recent batches haven’t really achieved much. Besides Lin Yun, Song Zu’er, Guan Xiaotong, who among the 95 flowers hasn’t been crushed by big names above...?"
Gu Jiuyue was stunned: "Wow, are the conditions for survival really that harsh?"
"Exactly!"
"Then you should think of it from a different angle; you’re the smartest one since you’ve found a new path early, right?"
"Don’t jinx it! I still don’t know how it will turn out!"
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I have confidence in you, Susu!"
"Sigh, if there’s a chance, who wouldn’t want to make a name in the industry? Being a star still holds more prestige than being an internet celebrity..."
"So what are you going to do? Try harder?"
"No, it’s not in me, I should have come to terms with it long ago. Like Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Gulinazha — those kind of super-recognizable, top-tier beauties, how many have there been over the decades? They are all chosen by heaven or something."
Su Huai couldn’t help but want to interject: Are you lumping Nazha with those two, who are you insulting here?
But then again, judging by the current perspective, she wasn’t wrong; Nazha was indeed under great expectations at the time, not signing with Tang Ren might not have resulted in the same outcome.
"Create a love-struck brain hype with a never-been-dated pure Jade Maiden persona, who wouldn’t go crazy for that?!"
Su Huai held back the urge to snark, opting not to mention other beauties in front of Gu.
But when Gu heard the name ’Fatty Liu’, she perked up on her own.
"Have you met Liu Yifei? Is she really as beautiful in person?"
"Nope, I’m just a small, unknown student, at most I’ve seen a few seniors from the Central Academy of Drama. Sister Zhang isn’t that pretty really, but she’s truly born for the movies."
Su Huai almost didn’t hold back the snark: Wait till she acts in a romance drama as a young girl, utterly ridiculous.
And then as they kept talking, they drifted to the topic of cosmetic surgery.
"How common is plastic surgery at your school?"
Quanquan, like a sneak, hunched her neck and whispered, "During school terms, you can’t do major surgeries; it truly affects your performance, but surely some people make subtle changes! It can’t be that everyone’s so honest..."
"Oh, that’s no better than at our Xingyu then."
Gu’s sincere comment about ’our Xingyu’ made all three girls burst into laughter.
Quanquan nodded vigorously: "Whether it’s entertainment or becoming an internet celebrity, beauty is indeed the primary productivity!"
After a pause, she suddenly glanced at Su Huai and then leaned over to Gu, whispering in her ear.
"Let me tell you, looking at our school, thirty batches up, no guy is handsomer than the BOSS; when I get a chance, I’ll show you some of Venerable Dragon’s films, so similar!"
"I never judge friends by their looks." Gu chuckled, then curiously asked, "Who’s Venerable Dragon?"
"Oh, just think of him as a super sexy Su Huai!"
"Oh, he must be quite handsome then..."
