章 21: 021 lives on his face

Even though Zhou Liqing deleted it quickly, the post was still saved by many people. People were begging Zhou Liqing's Weibo account. They kept asking for the goddess to return.

Zhou Liqing had not expected that her post would become like this. Of course, in addition to Zhou Liqing's Weibo being besieged by many unknown netizens, the person who originally reposted it was not much better.

That big V from the school.

Really, he was the one that caused this matter. After all, he hadn't removed the post from his Weibo. 'The Campus Belle of my university is going to enter the entertainment industry. Tremble, the women of the entertainment industry, the beauty killer is here!'

Therefore, many people asked this blogger what he had posted.

He was actually the king of stalking. Even though he usually posted some jokes on Weibo, when he posted about beauties, he was quite impolite. Especially when it came to how he 'knew' those beauties.

It was no surprise then, that when someone asked him about the mysterious campus belle, he excitedly revealed the information that he knew. Xiwan was a top student in the Department of Media and Broadcasting, she was in her fourth year, and she was one of the two beauties at university...

However, this information could not satisfy the curious people at all; more people asked for photos. Someone even searched for Xiwan's photos on the school intranet, but after searching for a long time they didn't find much. Other than the one-inch photo of her from the school belle pageant, the rest of the photos were basically her back, her side profile, and most of them were still blurry or seriously distorted. They were not as good as the real person, so he said that there were no photos. After all, very few people would have the courage to run up to her and take a face-to-face photo.

Everyone lamented in the comments. 'The Campus Belle from your university is really low-key.'

The blogger sent a message. 'One of the twin beauties? Does that mean there's another girl who's also very good-looking?'

The blogger couldn't give everyone more photos of Xiwan, so he continued to write about the possibility of another one. 'Yes, there's another beauty killer, Li Yan. She's also studying in the media branch, but she's in the acting department. She's so beautiful. She's completely different from Jiang Xiwan, she's kind of flamboyant and gorgeous. Yes, she reminds me of the diva, Jiang Xiwan.'

'Oh my God! The goddess in white is also called Jiang Xiwan,' exclaimed one comment under the post.

'It's different. There's nothing anyone can do about the name their parents gave them,' the blogger kindly explained.

Another netizen jumped in. 'Fortunately, she's also so beautiful. It would be awkward to be an ugly person who has the same name as a super beauty.'

Many people said that without a picture he couldn't make such claims, so he posted some photos of Li Yan from his phone. He said that these photos were saved after she went over the wall to Facebook.

He only put a couple of photos in his comment section. He did not want to give everything to this group of stupid mortals.

Underneath the photos, he also wrote very proudly, 'This is Li Yan, the real fair, rich, and beautiful. Tremble, you bunch of aliens.'

Lots of people left a shocked reaction on his post.

However, after looking at the photos, lots of people left positive comments. 'D*mn! The quality of the Campus Belle at your university is so high,' wrote one netizen. Another read, 'All of them are so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off either of them!'

'That's it! Too beautiful! But I love the white-clothed beauty more. In this day and age, there are too few people with such a classic celestial look.'

The commotion on Weibo was so intense that Xiwan and the others no longer bothered about it. After all, the commotion would only last for a few days. The audience would soon be distracted by another wave of hot events. Even if there was still a lingering buzz, it would not last for long.

That why time was so magical. No matter how intense an event was, time would always calm it down. It was like a stone being thrown into a lake. Ripples appeared with a loud splash, and although they were brilliant, the lake was soon calm once more, like nothing had ever happened.

Just like her previous life, she had lived a rich and fast life. Even before she died, that incident at the award ceremony was considered career suicide. At the time, it shook the entire entertainment industry. However, after a few months, there was basically no news about her. There was endless news coming cycling through the entertainment industry. Who was popular today? Who would be defeated tomorrow? Who would be debuting the day after tomorrow...

The world was still changing, so no one knew who it would be.

At 10:40 manager Chen came out to speak to everyone. "Now, please follow Ms. Huang the reception hall on the second floor. Please wait patiently after entering the venue in an orderly manner. The facial mask will start at 11am sharp. We will determine the order according to the information that you have filled in."

Everyone nodded to show that they understood.

Manager Chen looked at his papers and said, "Jiang Xiwan, Huang Can, Jin Xian. The three of you, follow me."

People were about to ask why when they saw three exceptionally good-looking people walking in front of everyone. No matter how dissatisfied they were, when they saw their faces, they had nothing to say.

After all, in the entertainment industry, who did not rely on their looks to make a living? With faces like theirs, only a blind management company would turn them away.

If there were still people who had doubts, were they not afraid that they would not have the talent?

Ha! Talent was nothing. Didn't they see that the male and female celebrities on the big screen (and small screens) nowadays only had pretty faces, not acting skills. Moreover, even if they didn't have any ability, the company would train them. If they were to train them for a period of time, they would almost certainly take them onboard, unless they were a good-for-nothing person.

Zhou Liqing patted Xiwan on the shoulder. "That's great. Wait for me. I will work hard too." After that, she pulled Qian Mengfei along with them to the waiting room on the second floor.

It had to be said that this manager Chen's eyes were very sharp. Of the three that he had chosen, there was no need to mention Xiwan's appearance. The remaining two had their own unique features.

Huang Can had make up on her face, a pointed chin, big eyes, and small mouth. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair reached her butt. She was quite tall. She wore a yellow chiffon skirt and white canvas shoes, which made her look very campus-like and fresh. She was one of the more popular artists at the time.

Jin Xian had a very Han flavor, Xiwan thought to herself. Although Xiwan was not very familiar with Korea, she knew that it dominated the current mainland market, especially with male stars. Korean features, along with height, and good styling, would make him very popular with the fans, who will soon be shouting, "Handsome, handsome, handsome, handsome!"

Of course, Jin Xian didn't have especially Korean features, but his height was real. He was even slightly taller than the snake of man that she had known in her previous life. Xiwan tried to guess how tall he was, and she guessed about 1.85 meters tall. He had a great figure too and seemed to be a natural model.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His facial features ranked him, in Xiwan's eyes, as a six-out-of-ten, but by the time the makeup artist was done with him he would be at least a seven or an eight. For male entertainers with such looks, it would be difficult for them not to become famous.

There was a reason why Sky Shadow Media had been able to catch up to Hua Feng in just a few short years. Li Zhan, as a decision maker, should not be underestimated.

The three of them were led to an office.

Although there were three desks in the office, there was only one person in the office. She was a very capable woman.

When she saw that manager Chen had brought three people, she smiled and said, "You've already decided on a seedling so quickly."

Manager Chen said, "I'm afraid that someone else will snatch them away. You take a look first. Whether you want to go for contracts or not is up to you."

She and then turned to look at Xiwan and the others. She stared at Xiwan for a long time. "With this face, I was born to do this. Chen Ye, you've done an amazing job this time. The three that you brought up, all of them!" As she said that, she gave a thumbs up.

Chen Ye smiled. "I'll go down and take a look at the situation on the second floor."

The strong woman nodded. Then, she led the three of them to the small conference room next door and began the interview.

"Hello, everyone. I'm one of the managers in charge of the talent at Sky Shadow Media. My name is Jian Fang. You can call me Sister Jian, or my English name, Jean. Now, please introduce yourselves in detail. Age, hobbies, specialties, and your current status."

The three of them looked at each other. Huang Can cleared his throat. "I'll go first," he said. "I'm Huang Can. I'm 21 this year, and I'm from the Department of Acting at S University Media. I'm currently in my senior year. My specialties are performance, singing, folk dance, and piano up to grade ten. I also dabble in guzheng. I have a wide range of hobbies, such as horseback riding, playing golf, and bowling. Of course, my favorite is still acting. I've also guest acted in quite a few roles in various production teams. I've acted as the fourth female lead in 'Double Color Dream'."

Jian Fang nodded at Huang Can, obviously very satisfied. Then, she asked, "Can I have a sobbing scene?"

Huang Can nodded. "No problem," she replied. Thirty seconds later, tears were flowing from her eyes, and she looked heartbroken. "Chen Lang, how can you be so heartless and abandon me," she sobbed.

Xiwan watched from the side, also satisfied. Although her acting was a little overdone, she was still a newcomer, so she was quite malleable.

"Mmm. Not bad."

Then, Jian Fang looked at Xiwan. She looked at Xiwan with a glowing, hungry expression on her face. It was as if Xiwan had been in the industry for a long time and was a big cash cow.

Xiwan stared back.

"What about you?"

Xiwan nodded. "My name is Jiang Xiwan."

Sure enough, the moment her name was mentioned, the other three's jaws dropped.

"Another female Wan Wan. Different from the late movie queen."

Jian Fang nodded. "Continue."

"I'm a senior majoring in broadcasting at University A. My specialty is acting, and my hobby is acting. The rest are in my resume." After all, there was a long string of notes that she could not read.

Jian Fang nodded. "Yes, yes, I understand. I'll take a look later and arrange your schedule for you." The others looked at each other. She moved on to the the next, the only boy.

"Jin Xian, 23. I graduated from university last year and I'm currently the resident singer at a bar." After saying that, without waiting for Jian Fang to ask, he began to sing. His voice was magnetic.

Jian Fang nodded. "The three of you are fantastic. I'll be very happy to sign all of you. After signing the contract, you will not begin filming immediately. Instead, you will have to go through the company's physical and vocal training courses, amongst other things, to prepare you. Only those who complete all of them will have the opportunity to participate in movies, TV dramas, and make recordings. Do you understand?"

The three of them nodded. Except for Xiwan, the other two looked ecstatic. Huang Can took out her phone on the spot to report the good news to her family and friends.

Jian Fang smiled at the three of them. "The three of you are really not bad. The company will spend time and effort to train you but don't be arrogant. Work hard and don't let down the company. It's not impossible for you to become famous in the future."

"Got it, Sister Jian." The three of them nodded.

After they left, Xiwan headed back to the waiting room on the second floor. After all, her two best friends were still waiting for their interview.

Jian Fang watched Xiwan leave. "Tsk, tsk. She's the real deal. Even if she doesn't have acting skills, the audience will still be able to see her face."
