Chapter 982: Advice from an Experienced Person

~14 min read 2,678 words

"Don't stare at people for too long, you've been noticed."

Bai Xingwei twitched her lips and reminded Luo Quan, who seemed to be stunned, in a low voice.

When Luo Quan was stared at by Devasol before, she even helped to scold the other party. She didn't expect Luo Quan to learn the bad things instead of the good ones.

Although Xu Yanqing's figure is indeed very attractive, it's not a good thing to stare at her so straightly.

Originally, she wanted to remind Luo Quan not to go too far, and Luo Quan immediately moved her eyes away, but unfortunately, Xu Yanqing over there had already noticed the scorching gaze from the "peer" beside her.

Xu Yanqing turned her head and swept over. Luo Quan lowered her head like a student who had done something wrong.

This kind of nervousness in front of the head teacher, she hadn't had for many years.

Fortunately, Xu Yanqing didn't seem to be angry, but curled her lips with interest, and walked over with a pace that swayed like waves:

"Little sister, I remember your name is Luo Quan, right?"

Xu Yanqing walked in front of her, a head taller than Luo Quan. Perhaps she didn't control the distance well, and almost gave Luo Quan a "face wash" (a common slang for being pressed against breasts).

"Hello, Miss Xu, my name is Luo Quan." Luo Quan took two steps back to avoid being photographed by paparazzi who like to make big news through misaligned shots.

"Sorry, it seems I was a bit too close to you."

Xu Yanqing realized the meaning of Luo Quan's retreat and smiled slightly: "I don't know why, but I have a feeling of meeting an old friend at first sight. This feeling almost made me forget that you are not a local of the Universe."

Luo Quan replied politely: "Haha, meeting is fate. This is also my first time coming to this kind of stage, and there are many places where I still need to learn from Miss Xu."

"Don't learn from me." Xu Yanqing shook her head gently. "There are many things in this circle that you have to realize yourself, because you will never know whether those who say they are good for you are thinking about using you?

Just like me now, how do you know that I didn't come over with an ulterior motive?"

"Being able to say this already makes you worthy of my trust." Luo Quan's eyes were firm, as if she believed in her own vision very much—to be precise, the system's vision.

So far, the system hadn't made any mistakes in judging people, so Luo Quan also trusted it unconditionally.

And when Xu Yanqing heard such an answer, she also raised her eyebrows gently: "Little sister, your personality is easy to suffer a big loss.

How about I point you to a good way out? Join my company, and I'll cover you in the future?"

If someone else said such words, Luo Quan would still need to doubt whether this person could cover her.

However, there was no need to think too much about Xu Yanqing, because she was truly too big.

A cold joke flashed through her mind, Luo Quan raised her head and said seriously: "You might not believe it if I say it, but this is also what I want to say to you. If you are willing, you can come to my company now or in the future."

As soon as these words came out, not only was Xu Yanqing stunned, but even Bai Xingwei opened her eyes wide in surprise, thinking that she hadn't heard that Luo Quan had established any company.

And Xu Yanqing, after a brief stun, let out a burst of laughter as pleasant as silver bells, and the snow-white on her body also trembled together, the visual effect was extremely explosive.

"I don't look down on you at all."

Xu Yanqing restrained her laughter and said to Luo Quan in the same serious tone:

"But I want to know, why do you think you can sign me? From the most practical point of view, the salary I want, future development planning, how to deal with a series of contracts with the original company after signing a new company?

These are all realistic and important interest issues. This hasn't even discussed the status gap problem caused by me being the boss and going to your place to be the second-in-command."

Xu Yanqing's series of questions were indeed all key points.

To be honest, Luo Quan hadn't thought about it either, but with her current strength and status, whatever she said was drawing a big pie, so she simply made it up on the spot, drawing the pie even bigger:

"I have confidence that I can become the most popular female star in the Universe in the future, and the company will definitely be the most successful entertainment company in the Universe.

If you are willing to join, then you are an initial shareholder, and your status in the future will definitely be higher than your current position.

Of course, you must think I am talking nonsense, but it doesn't matter. Soon I will prove to you that I have such strength."

Luo Quan had roughly understood the basic information about the Universe entertainment industry.

The so-called ten great beauties are both beautiful and talented, but in fact, appearance is the theme, and talent is just an attachment.

These ten might indeed be the most beautiful, but they are not necessarily the most popular or the ones with the highest popularity.

Most of the female stars in the Universe who possess this title mainly take the route of "entertaining people with color," relying on appearance and figure as their gimmicks to convert into heat.

And the real big stars in the entertainment industry are those who can produce phantoms by playing roles, or those who can produce Song Spirits by singing songs.

These are the real masters, the artists who are respected and sought after.

As for them, they became famous by a face. Once the fans get tired of watching, they will quickly look for new love.

There are not many beauties in the Universe, and there are only ten who can reach level 9.

But it's not few, because there are a large group of level 7 or 8 beauties waiting to move up.

Even if these people are plastic surgery, it doesn't matter, because being able to reach level 9 by plastic surgery itself means a kind of "entering the Dao." As long as it is entering the Dao, it is worthy of respect.

Of course, there will be some differences in treatment between natural and acquired ones.

However, if those level 7 or 8 beauties really encountered such an opportunity, it is estimated that most of them would not hesitate.

Xu Yanqing herself is natural, but she has reached the end in terms of figure and appearance.

Whether it is acting or musical instrument performance, she has carefully pondered and asked many famous teachers for guidance, but in the end, she can only be at a level that is neither high nor low.

Unless she encounters a great opportunity, her status in the entertainment industry will be like this in the future: above the second line, not yet the first line.

Don't think that having many fans and loud shouts means high popularity. In fact, they are all fake. In the eyes of those creators of culture and entertainment, they are nothing.

If a real top-tier star arrives, there will definitely not be so many fans at the scene, because they have to make room for the leaders.

The response received by top-tier stars is also likely not cheers and shouts, but hats-off tributes from those leaders.

This is the difference between the two.

Xu Yanqing dreamed of becoming such a star, but after so many years, the dream still seems very far away.

She doesn't know if Luo Quan is at that level, but she is not hungry enough to need to seek medical advice in a hurry.

"Save it, little sister. I've seen too many little beauties like you who are higher than the sky since I entered the industry, one after another, all saying they want to climb to the peak position."

Xu Yanqing looked up at the towering floor of the studio building that couldn't see the end, and showed a self-deprecating smile: "But there are very few who can maintain their original intention, let alone such an illusory wish.

See this building? Do you know how many floors it has?"

Luo Quan scanned with the system and answered at light speed: "10,077 floors."

"Correct." Xu Yanqing nodded gently. "This is the largest entertainment program production place in the entire Universe. Nearly four floors of entertainment programs are completed and broadcast here. Every floor represents a realm, and almost all stars are constantly working hard to climb up.

You are very lucky. You had the opportunity to enter above the 10,000th floor as soon as you debuted. Such an opportunity has already made countless people jealous and gnashing their teeth.

However, unfortunately, perhaps this will be your peak in this life. In the future, you will likely not be able to step into the world above 8,000 floors... wrong, I remember you sang and produced a phantom, so 9,000 floors.

Compared to ordinary beauties, your talent is better, and maybe you really have a chance to surpass me in the future.

But for now, let's surpass me in appearance first."

This is probably the first time Luo Quan has heard someone say "surpass me in appearance" with such confidence since she debuted.

If it were on Earth, it would probably be teased by a large group of netizens.

The reason it is not ridicule is that Xu Yanqing's appearance is indeed not bad, not to mention that she also possesses peerless weapons.

As far as the status quo is concerned, Xu Yanqing is fully qualified to say this to Luo Quan.

And Luo Quan was not angry at all because of these words: "I know, my grand words now have no persuasiveness, but it's still that sentence, I will prove it."

This firm look made Xu Yanqing see herself when she was young.

Back then, she was also so ambitious, thinking that as long as she worked hard, she could get a return. Now thinking about it, it really makes people feel funny.

But well, if you don't work hard, there is no possibility of success, so she appreciates Luo Quan's ambition very much, just hoping that she won't be defeated by reality too quickly.

"Since that's the case, then I wish you success in signing me. Let's go."

Xu Yanqing said with a chic turn, while Luo Quan stopped in place and asked her: "Go where?"

"The 10,032nd floor."

Xu Yanqing knew that Luo Quan hadn't reacted, and explained: "It's better for us to go upstairs together when we meet for the first time, so as not to let those unscrupulous reporters make up fake news that we don't agree with each other."

People who have been rained on will know better how to hold an umbrella for others.

Luo Quan has been too smooth all the way, and she really has no experience in this regard.

Media making up fake news for traffic has always existed, but most of them are self-media with relatively small influence, and they will be baptized by her fans as soon as they appear, so there are very few that need her to take action.

So she didn't react in the first place. Now hearing Xu Yanqing's explanation, warmth rose in her heart: "Thank you."

Xu Yanqing's expression was calm: "It's just a small effort. It just so happens that the popularity seems to be a bit low recently. Walking with you can also get on a hot search, and I can ride a wave of heat."

"You will lack heat? Logically speaking, you should be redder than me now, right?" Luo Quan asked while walking towards the elevator.

"There are two kinds of red in the entertainment industry. One is the kind where the film contract is constant, the exposure is non-stop, and everyone wants to get involved with her."

Xu Yanqing walked into the transmission elevator, pressed the destination floor, and continued: "There is another kind of red, which is having many hard-core works. Usually, it doesn't show mountains or water, but when needed, it can also shock everyone.

I barely touched the threshold of the first kind of red before. At that time, *Interstellar Detective* was popular. Although my role had few scenes, every time I appeared, it made the audience very impressed, so my popularity was also quite high. Sometimes it could even exceed the female second and female third..."

Listening to Xu Yanqing's memories, Luo Quan quickly connected the system to the intelligent optical brain, and soon she got the relevant information.

*Interstellar Detective*, a high-scoring detective drama with a season average score of over 9.0, combines heavy taste, brain-burning, humor, and beauties, which can be said to be to the taste of most people.

And the role Xu Yanqing played was a female forensic doctor who worked closely with the protagonist group. Because of her appearance and explosive figure, she was once rated as the Best Supporting Actress in the Universe Public Choice Awards.

She also relied on this drama to crazily gain fans and was red for a quite long time.

It's

It's not that there haven't been resources looking for her since then, but the ones she chose to appear in were few and far between, and the things she filmed could never replicate the highlights of *Interstellar Detective*.

But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse; just this one hit show, *Interstellar Detective*, was enough for her to live off of for a lifetime, even if she only played a supporting role.

It is worth mentioning that many fans of the show believe she performed even better than the female lead, and it is truly baffling that she didn't continue to stay popular.

As for the specific reasons, I suppose only Xu Yanqing herself knows, but her current situation is indeed one of being stuck in the middle.

"So why did you suddenly enter a semi-retired state? Retiring at the peak of your career—no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a wise choice." Luo Quan asked with confusion, though she had already vaguely guessed the answer in her heart.

For a female celebrity with this kind of appearance and figure, no one would believe it if she said she hadn't encountered demands for "hidden rules."

But Xu Yanqing's answer was not quite what Luo Quan had imagined: "It's simply because my standards are high. After *Interstellar Detective* became famous, many hit shows and shows with potential wanted me to play the female lead or even the female lead."

But I looked at the scripts, and these roles were either eye candy or deliberately selling sex appeal; some were even more revealing than what I filmed in *Interstellar Detective*.

I wanted to aim higher at the time, so I didn't take them.

But when I submitted my resume to those serious dramas, they said my image wasn't suitable for a female lead, and there weren't even any suitable roles.

Come to think of it, none of the best actresses on Universal Star have a figure like mine. Casual netizens might like this type of female star, but directors and judges certainly wouldn't.

So, I wasted my most precious development time in this awkward position of being stuck in the middle.

Now that I think about it, if I had known it would turn out like this, I might as well have gone all the way with being eye candy; at least I could have earned the title of a generation's sex symbol."
