Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 133. Becoming a Celebrity? The Fought-Over-by-Big-Shots Kind (9)



Shen Wan was a newly debuted artist with little fame.

Additionally, her recently completed film, where she played the third female lead, had just wrapped up shooting, so no one was paying attention to her yet.

However, due to her renting a large truck for a few days in the desert, getting to know Fu Qingman’s entire crew, and establishing good friendships with them, these people all followed her on social media at the same time. This was noticed by fans, who sent her to the third spot on the trending topics.

Since there was nothing negative to dig up about her, and she was personally followed by their idols, Shen Wan gained a bit of popularity.

At this point, aside from Mu Linshi’s dissatisfaction and harbored resentment, she hadn’t really made enemies with anyone.

The people who had filmed with her had all eaten her food to some extent. As the saying goes, “once you’ve eaten someone’s food, it’s hard to speak ill of them.” Moreover, they sensed the director’s subtle respect and admiration for Shen Wan. Everyone was smart enough not to cause trouble for themselves.

Thus, there really wasn’t anyone trying to smear her reputation.

Mu Linshi wanted to, but she had nothing now. Even the big shot she was relying on didn’t like her that much, so she didn’t dare ask him for help now. As for buying fake accounts to attack online, she was too poor for that at the moment.

Riding on this trending topic, her agent Su Jiali secured a decent product endorsement for Shen Wan, as well as a guest spot on a comedy variety show.

Shen Wan smoothly shot the small product commercial first, then went to be a guest on the comedy variety show. The show invited her not for her comedic skills, of course.

Their purpose stemmed from her recent trending topic. While the heat hadn’t died down, countless fans were curious about who Shen Wan really was.

So, they planned to feature Shen Wan in the next few episodes. Taking advantage of this trending topic and fans’ curiosity, the ratings for these episodes would surely be higher.

For these episodes, they definitely needed to put in extra effort.

Not only did they need to prepare, but they also had to consider how to make Shen Wan’s appearance more attractive.

When the show’s team met Shen Wan, they were instantly drawn to her stunning appearance.

Before anything else, her sweet and charming looks would surely attract fans. She had a slender figure, fair skin, and a face that wasn’t too thin – just right, pleasant to look at. Especially her bright eyes, which were particularly lively.

Shen Wan’s image was very good. The show’s team felt she would attract passersby. Her beauty wasn’t the intimidating kind that made people feel inferior. Instead, after one glance, you’d want to look again and keep looking. Especially when she smiled, it always gave people a sweet feeling.

She was a newcomer, good-looking, with a nice voice and expressive eyes.

In the end, the show’s team decided not to add too much embellishment, as that might be counterproductive. Su Jiali’s team had the same idea. Shen Wan had always maintained her true nature, neither arrogant nor impatient, and they felt this development was good. It could be said that most of the artists under her management whz had made it this far had their own strengths.

She didn’t oppose artists having big shots backing them. After all, to truly become a huge star, without someone supporting you, you might not make a splash in this circle even after ten years. Everyone had their own aspirations, and she couldn’t deprive others of their choices.

But for those who didn’t want to rely on big shots and wanted to act earnestly, she supported them too. In short, she was quite a laid-back agent. She came from a good family background and became an agent mostly because she liked it.

After deciding everything, Shen Wan rested for two days before starting to record the show.

The opening of this episode was very enticing, first stating that a new guest would appear. Moreover, the show’s team currently didn’t know who this new guest was. The opening even said that even if she stood in front of the audience, everyone would wonder who she was.

The show proceeded smoothly with its recording, with interludes of the production team discussing the recent trending topic online.

When the host asked Shen Wan, “How did you feel about trending recently?”

“I felt very strange at the time,” Shen Wan answered conventionally. “Looking at that name, I thought it was someone with the same name as me.”

Host: “Were you excited?”

Shen Wan, very seriously: “Not excited.”

Host: “Why not?”

Shen Wan: “I didn’t think it was me at the time.”

Host: “What about later? Were you excited later?”

Shen Wan: “Not excited.”

Host: “Later, when you knew it was you, why weren’t you excited? You gained so many followers. Didn’t you feel anything?”

Shen Wan: “When I knew it was me, why should I be excited? Gaining many followers, why should I feel anything?”

Host: “…” Smiling, changing the subject, “Now the audience is very curious. Why did their idols follow you? Can Wan Wan give the audience an answer here?”

Shen Wan faced the camera and said very seriously, “Sure.”

Host: Waiting.

Shen Wan paused for a moment before speaking, “Everyone is curious why we follow each other. Let me explain now. It’s because we’re good friends. Don’t you follow your good friends?”

Production team: “…”

Hired audience members: “…”

But the effect seemed quite good. This kind of counterintuitive answer was somewhat attractive.

Later, the host naturally asked how Shen Wan got to know these people.

Shen Wan casually answered, “I was traveling in the desert and happened to meet them while they were filming. We had a meal together and got to know each other.”

Although the production team felt this reason was too far-fetched, they thought it could still create some topics of discussion. As long as the show’s ratings went up, it was fine. After all, this time they could ride on quite a bit of popularity at once.

When this episode aired, Fu Qingman’s entire crew, far away in the desert filming, were glued to their phones that day.

Before this, Shen Wan had communicated with them, saying she would be on a variety show and would mention them. She asked them to watch her performance and give her some pointers.

Considering that Shen Wan had sent them another truckload of food afterward, they were very willing to watch some variety shows to relax during their break time.

The earlier comedic parts of the show were indeed relaxing. When it came to Shen Wan’s appearance as the mysterious guest, they all became serious.

“Wan Wan is still so cute.”

“She’s quite witty when she speaks.”

“Wan Wan is right. We’re good friends, isn’t it normal for us to follow each other?”

The director also nodded while holding his phone, gnawing on a duck leg that had been roasted that day. Thanks to Fu Qingman and Shen Wan, every time food was delivered, two chefs would come along to help them avoid wasting the ingredients.

The taste of the roasted duck leg was really good, especially when paired with an ice-cold beer.

“This girl Wan Wan has a natural talent. I think she’ll be famous before long,” the director said, and he meant it. Whether in her personal conduct or on the show, she had a natural charm that made people like her.

Fu Qingman also nodded. “Wan Wan has always been excellent. If she had debuted earlier, she would have been famous by now.”

“From the looks of it, Qingman, you’re planning to guide her?”

Fu Qingman lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth turning up. “We’ve eaten so much of her food, we can’t just take without giving back. Director Bai, leaving everything else aside, you can see Shen Wan’s potential is quite good. When you have a suitable role for Wan Wan in your next film, don’t forget to call her for an audition.”

“I know, did you need to tell me? I took a liking to this girl as soon as I saw her. If her acting is good, there’s definitely no problem.” Director Bai took a bite of the duck leg. Who doesn’t like good actors? A good actor is the essence of a film.

Jing Ge had also seen this episode. Faced with such a youthful, energetic, sweet, and charming Shen Wan, he sat there daydreaming again. Honestly, although he had been tormented quite a bit, he still had some thoughts. But every time he remembered what had happened before, those thoughts instantly vanished.

A colleague who doesn’t gain weight, has good martial arts skills, and is incredibly strong – he seemed unable to handle her.

“What are you watching so intently?” Jing Ming pushed the door open and saw Jing Ge sitting on the sofa. “As soon as you’re back, you’re glued to your phone, not even turning on the lights. If Mom comes back and sees this, she’ll scold you for not taking care of your eyes again.”

Just as Jing Ming finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the face on the phone screen. His expression instantly twisted.

He could never forget that face. Wasn’t she the woman who had kicked him into the wall with one foot and then carried him out of the hotel?

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Jing Ming’s face darkened. “Who is this woman?”

“Oh, her. She’s a small-time artist named Shen Wan, quite an interesting person.” Talking about previous events, Jing Ge couldn’t help but smile, but remembering some unpleasant memories, his smile faded. “What’s the matter, Brother? Are you interested in her?”

“No.” Jing Ming frowned, noticing something off about Jing Ge. “What? Are you interested in her? A newly debuted small-time artist, can’t you handle her?”

Jing Ming thought Jing Ge would refute this, but he nodded honestly. “Brother, I really can’t handle her.”

Jing Ming’s frown deepened. “Do you really like her?”

“Like isn’t the right word. I’m just a bit interested. I originally thought I could make her fall into my arms with a bit of time, but I didn’t expect… she’s different from what I imagined, different from other small-time artists.”

Jing Ge still had a strong playful streak and had dated several girlfriends in the industry.

Jing Ming, as his brother, understood him well. He probably just found her novel and curious. He instantly thought of a way to torment this woman.

“I’ll give you a hand, how about that?”

Jing Ge suddenly jumped up. “Brother, do you have a grudge against this woman? Why would you suddenly help me?”

“There’s some personal grudge,” Jing Ming said truthfully. “Since you’re just interested in her, I’ll help you pursue her. When you’re tired of her, you can break up. How about that? Consider it a game. When you don’t like her anymore, tell her the whole truth. That’ll be my revenge.”

Jing Ge was tempted. “How do we play?”

“Like this: I’ll invest in buying fake accounts to attack her online, and have people create some negative information and photos. She’s just debuted with no foundation. She’ll be at a loss when the time comes. When she’s desperate, you go help her, stand up and prove her innocence.” Jing Ming still felt pain in the back of his neck when he recalled how Shen Wan had manhandled him before.

Jing Ge’s eyes lit up. “Alright, Brother. Plan it out well.”

Two months passed, and the drama Shen Wan had filmed earlier began its promotional campaign. With award-winning actor Jing Ge involved, the audience was very excited.

Fu Qingman had also returned from the desert. Whenever she had free time, she would find Shen Wan to eat and drink, and also accompanied her to auditions.

Both auditions were very successful. Although not lead roles, the parts had decent screen time and were prominent characters, considered quite important to the plot.

The previously filmed drama had started airing, and Shen Wan had gained some fame, so everyone was quite anticipatory.

Especially after seeing Shen Wan say on the variety show that she was good friends with their idols, fans went to their idols’ Weibo to ask, and the idols confirmed it, improving their impression of Shen Wan even more.

On this day, Fu Qingman and Shen Wan sat side by side, waiting for the drama to premiere.

The first day aired five episodes at once, with Shen Wan appearing in two of them with quite a bit of screen time.

Shen Wan’s acting skills were certainly not a problem. Even Fu Qingman, an award-winning actress herself, was instantly drawn into the character.

After watching the drama that day, audiences got to know Shen Wan better, and she gained a small circle of fans.

However, upon waking up the next morning, Shen Wan was trending again.

Unlike the previous time, this trending topic read:

#Shen Wan Negative Information#

Fu Qingman and Shen Wan woke up on the sofa, looked at each other while holding their phones. Fu Qingman then said, “You’re already attracting haters so early on. Wonder who’s trying to smear you.” Her expression grew increasingly grim as she clicked to view the negative information.

“What’s wrong?”
