The Entertainment Industry Waits For Our Divorce - Chapter 132
66th day — Divorce (2)
“Benevolence” is currently airing, and several members of the production team were invited to participate in a popular variety show called “People’s Star Action” to promote the drama. Liang Yan and the “Enchanting Immortal” crew took two days off to be on the show and then had to fly back to Gudong for filming.
“People’s Star Action” is an indoor variety show with relatively straightforward content. The guests and regular cast members come together to play games and have fun. Liang Yan looked at the program schedule sent by Jiang Mu, and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw the name of one of the regular cast members.
Bai Ying. The same Bai Ying who badmouthed her alongside Qin Yu Shi at the Yue Show Charity Night and got into an argument with her.
Female artists who were invited to the Yue Show Charity Night are those who have made significant progress in the past two years. Despite having limited film and television projects, Bai Ying managed to shine in the fierce competition among young actresses, thanks to her participation in the highly popular national variety show, “People’s Star Action.” Her portrayal of a beautiful and independent character on the show was a resounding success, capturing the hearts of many young fans.
It’s truly ironic how things have unfolded.
When Liang Yan spotted Bai Ying backstage at the studio, she couldn’t help but notice a change in her appearance.
Bai Ying, being an experienced figure in the entertainment industry, was adept at maintaining her public image. She greeted Liang Yan with a polite smile, saying, “Nice to see you again, Xiaoyan.”
“Likewise,” Liang Yan responded with a forced smile and discreetly rolled her eyes.
Despite being two years older than Bai Ying, it was audacious of her to call Liang Yan “Xiaoyan.”
“Yanjie!” Liang Yan heard another familiar voice calling out to her.
Without a doubt, only Zhong Ze could naturally address her as “Yanjie.”
Liang Yan turned to him and smiled, asking, “How have you been lately?”
“Not bad,” Zhong Ze couldn’t hide his happiness. Following the success of “Benevolence,” his popularity had soared. Now, he no longer needed to rely on the name “Xiao Lu Lincheng” to be recognized. As long as he mentioned Zhong Ze, people knew who he was. He also received several high-quality scripts.
Bai Ying glanced at Zhong Ze from head to toe, ignoring his presence, and walked away.
Zhong Ze pouted in response.
The afternoon was dedicated to rehearsals for the show, and in the evening, the official recording began.
The studio was filled with a substantial audience. To her surprise, when Liang Yan took the stage, she noticed a group of fans holding green “Yan” light boards among the audience.
Liang Yan waved and greeted the fan group, prompting the members of Wolf Fang to wave their light boards and cheer in excitement.
Bai Ying discreetly rolled her eyes at the fans with the “Yan” light boards.
The official recording of the show commenced. The four main cast members of “Benevolence” had introduced themselves the previous night. The program swiftly moved to the game segment, with the participants divided into two teams: red and blue. The five regular members of “People’s Star Action” formed the red team, while the main cast of “Benevolence” formed the blue team.
Each person put on the shoes provided by the production team, with a name tag bearing their own name attached to the sole. Two participants would compete against each other, aiming to be the first to tear off the opponent’s name tag from their sole.
In the first round, Zhong Ze faced off against a regular guest from the show “People’s Star Action.” Zhong Ze, living up to his background as a graduate of a sports university, easily emerged victorious.
For the second round, Tong Lei took the stage. However, due to his lack of experience in these types of variety show games, he ended up losing.
In the third round, Bai Ying, a regular guest from “People’s Star Action,” was selected to compete. It was customary for female contestants to face off against each other, as well as male contestants. Bai Ying was chosen from their side, while the “Benevolence” production team only had Liang Yan and Wang Yili as options. With a smile, Wang Yili graciously offered the opportunity to the younger generation, allowing Liang Yan to take her place.
Upon arriving at the competition venue, Bai Ying unleashed her ultimate strategy for the game:
She squatted down.
By squatting and tightly protecting the soles of her feet, her opponent would have no way to remove the name tag.
Liang Yan crossed her arms and observed Bai Ying squatting in front of her, hearing the laughter of the regular guests. “Ying, using this move again, huh?”
“We’ve never lost when using this move!”
Bai Ying squatted into a small ball and raised her head to confidently gaze at Liang Yan, anticipating her imminent victory.
“Come on, Yan Yan!” Liang Yan’s fans in the audience cheered.
Helplessly shaking her head, Liang Yan suddenly positioned herself behind Bai Ying, crouched down, and embraced Bai Ying’s legs.
“What are you doing… Ah!” Bai Ying was startled, her face turning pale. Before she could react, Liang Yan effortlessly lifted her squatted body off the ground.
Everyone present: !!!
What’s happening?!
Did that just occur?!
Liang Yan held Bai Ying as if playfully teasing her.
She lifted Bai Ying entirely and swiftly placed her back on the ground, causing Bai Ying to fall into a sprawling position, screaming, and exposing the sole of her foot.
“Ah ah ah, Bai Ying, be careful!”
“Sister Yan, go for it! This is your chance!”
Liáng Yān immediately reached for Bai Ying’s branded sole, but dealing with Bai Ying, a celebrity, was no easy task. She swiftly evaded and grabbed hold of Liáng Yān’s leg, causing her to fall to the ground. They became entangled, both fiercely attempting to rip off each other’s branded soles.
With their limbs intertwined on the ground, they exerted great effort to remove the branded soles from each other’s feet.
Liáng Yān had longer arms and legs, giving her an advantage over Bai Ying. She came close to reaching the branded sole when suddenly she felt a tightening around her neck, followed by a chilling sensation in her chest.
