Chapter 2.1
"1, 2, 3! Look to the Stars" was a cla.s.sy domestic celebrity panel broadcast. The host, Song Yiming, was an industry veteran. He was held in considerably high regard within entertainment circles and boasted a wide network of connections. Once on the set, no matter the popularity of the actor or performer, he or she would greet him with a respectful "Song-laoshi." Uco5Yp
Although on the program he retained a basic bottom line and principles, he always expressed his views as he saw fit. If he thought it, he said it. He would usually arrive right on the dot and never do any special preparation, let alone memorize any lines or dialogue like a newbie. Yet this time was completely unprecedented—he arrived two hours beforehand. He went over the script that was pa.s.sed over by the director again and again, flipping through the pages even more serious than a student cramming for a test.
Tan Ling was one of the dancers in the show opening dance. She herself was a Z-list bit actress, having hung around for a good few years without any serious parts, but she never gave up and instead persevered, bravely advancing on the path to stardom.This time, a girl had fallen and temporarily injured her leg, so Tan Ling"s agent called her in as a subst.i.tute.
Who would have thought that she would immediately see a big star such as Song Yiming. She was thrilled and whispered to the girl next to her, "For this kind of popular and successful host to arrive early and prepare so seriously, Song-laoshi is indeed dedicated to his work!"
That girl gave her a slightly disgusted look and pouted: "Are you just playing stupid or are you really this dumb? Can"t you see that the whole crew is so busy that their heads are spinning? The guest coming on the show today isn"t the same as those B- and C-list stars who have come on in the past. Unlike with them, we can"t afford for anything to go wrong. When he comes on, you"d better be careful. If anything does go wrong, I"m afraid you won"t last long in these circles." Fd5dAN
Tan Ling asked questioningly, "Who is today"s guest? I thought Song-laoshi was already super big. Who could be more impressive than him?"
That girl snorted a laugh. "You really don"t even know who the guest is. You"re really something else. Okay, I"ll tell you. The Great G.o.d Fang is coming today."
As soon as she finished, she turned around and continued to rehea.r.s.e.
In contrast, Tan Ling was shocked senseless. Could it be that "Great G.o.d Fang" was the "Emperor of the Silver Screen" Fang Xu?! The youngest ever Oscar winner, Emperor of the Silver Screen Fang Xu! The 27-year old winner of awards international and domestic alike, that genius actor! The Fang Xu who headed Forbes China"s Celebrity Rankings seven years running! dW GYh
My G.o.d! For her to encounter such a G.o.d during her first time filling in, heaven really must be smiling upon her. After the program ends, she must find this Adonis for an autograph.
Because she was still intoxicated by the information, she missed the frown that girl gave her, her delicate face eventually slipping into a hidden, treacherous smile.
