Chapter 26 Xu An, who wanted to fleece the sheep as much as possible.
"Zhaoyue, don't be angry. Look how well this publicity is going! Our show's popularity will definitely skyrocket when it airs."
"And look, there are people praising you in this video too!"
In the living room, Xu An looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, who had been glaring at him angrily since the video was filmed, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. He picked up his phone and walked over to her.
Seeing the mischievous grin on Xu An's face, Jiang Zhaoyue stared at him warily.
It was the same when Xu An tricked her into coming to film the video. That bastard wouldn't tell her the whole video, but instead fooled her by saying he would say she was the most beautiful.
Jiang Zhaoyue only realized after filming the video that she was there to play the clown.
Indeed, Jiang Zhaoyue's flushed face at the end of the video was not an act, but a genuine expression of her feelings.
Seeing the wicked smile on Xu An's face, Jiang Zhaoyue instinctively felt he had ill intentions. However, when she heard Xu An say that someone in the video comments section was praising her, she couldn't help but take the phone. Then she discovered that what Xu An meant by praising her was...
[Haha, Zhaoyue looks so silly getting tricked after her scheme backfired! Silly Zhaoyue is so cute!]
Including this time, I've lost count of how many times Zhaoyue has been taken advantage of by Xu An. Is Zhaoyue's beauty really just a trade-off for intelligence?
[Don't you dare say Zhaoyue isn't brainless! She's just a little slow!]
Seeing these comments, all calling her an idiot, Jiang Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Is this what you call praising me?"
Looking at the murderous Jiang Zhaoyue, Xu An blinked.
"Isn't that a compliment?"
"One said you're cute, one said you're beautiful, and the other... well, praised you for retaining your saintly qualities!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't hold back any longer and chased Xu An around the small house.
Watching the two bickering and joking, Bai Ge and Shen Wanwan in the small house were already used to it, and they exchanged words without changing their expressions.
"Wanwan, when are you leaving today?"
"My mom's coming to pick me up later. What about you, Bai Ge? You must be very busy, right?"
After saying this somewhat shyly, Shen Wanwan wondered why Bai Ge hadn't left yet.
Bai Ge stretched and yawned, her voluptuous figure startling Shen Wanwan. She then said lazily:
"The drama I just finished filming has just wrapped up, and the next one hasn't started filming yet. My work lately has mainly been promotion, so I'm not too busy."
"Is this to promote your latest movie?"
"I heard it's set in ancient times, I'll go support Bai Ge when it's released."
Upon hearing Bai Ge mention promoting his new movie, Shen Wanwan quickly raised her hand to show her support by buying a movie ticket.
Seeing the determined look on Shen Wanwan's face, Bai Ge couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Wanwan!"
Xu An, who had come here to escape Jiang Zhaoyue's pursuit, was curious about something different when he heard Bai Ge's words: "Sister Ge, you're already a film queen, earning so much money, why do you still keep making movies?"
"Is it because of dreams?"
Hearing this, Shen Wanwan also looked at Bai Ge curiously.
Bai Ge was a well-known pianist when she was in college, but after graduation she went into the film and television industry and is known as a workaholic in the industry. She spends most of the year either filming or on her way to film.
So when Bai Ge said she had a dream about acting, such as becoming a world-renowned actress, Shen Wanwan wasn't too surprised.
Bai Ge was taken aback by Xu An's words, and after thinking for a while, a wry smile appeared on her face.
"What kind of dream is that! I don't make movies for such lofty things!"
"Back then, making movies was simply a matter of having a lot of money!"
At this point, looking at the astonished expressions on the faces of Shen Wanwan, Xu An, and even Jiang Zhaoyue, who had arrived at some unknown time, Bai Ge continued:
"When I graduated from the music academy, I thought I could become a musician and hold my own solo concerts."
"Unfortunately, after graduation I found out that my talent in music was only average. The only job I could find with decent pay was teaching elementary school students to play the piano."
At this point, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Bai Ge's face.
"It was quite a coincidence. My dad's friend was a director. One time she came to visit my family and said that I was very suitable for a role in her new movie, so I went to audition."
"Then I embarked on an acting career, and now, acting has become a habit."
Upon hearing this, all three people present showed expressions of admiration.
Unexpectedly, there was such a story behind Bai Ge's path to becoming an actor.
"The music industry has lost an unknown, but the film industry has welcomed its queen!"
Xu An stroked his chin and summarized it in one sentence, which made Bai Ge laugh in exasperation.
"Xiao An... I'm not exactly a nobody in the music industry, am I?"
"Ahem, what I mean is, Bai Ge, it's certainly good for you to be a music teacher, but making movies opens up a whole new world for you!"
"But I think, Sister Bai Ge, you're already amazing enough, you can take a break."
Looking at Xu An's smile, Bai Ge felt something was off, as if he was about to be fleeced.
Shaking her head to shake off this inexplicable thought, she picked up where Xu An left off.
"Actually, I'm used to this kind of non-stop work and it's not so bad. If I were to really take a break, I wouldn't know what to do!"
How am I supposed to earn bonus points if you don't rest?
Xu An looked at Bai Ge, who showed no interest, and felt a little regretful.
Unfortunately, they weren't fooled.
Xu An had an idea when he learned that if the anti-roll system could influence others to also anti-roll and lie flat, there would also be anti-roll value rewards.
If he affects others' anti-roll, and those others then affect others, will the anti-roll value also increase?
The system's answer was yes, but the increase would be small.
It doesn't matter if the number isn't large; if the quantity is high, it will still amount to a huge amount of reverse value.
And when it comes to influence, who can compare to celebrities in the entertainment industry?
Indeed, if a highly popular actress like Bai Ge were to set an example and promote anti-conformity under his influence, Xu An wouldn't dare imagine how quickly his anti-conformity value would increase.
Unfortunately, Bai Ge doesn't seem to have been fooled.
But it's okay, there are still many episodes left on the show. Xu An believes that as long as he keeps persuading Bai Ge, her attitude will definitely soften.
Not only Bai Ge, Xu An also glanced at Shen Wanwan beside him.
I heard that Wanwan releases songs quite frequently?
And Jiang Zhaoyue, it seems like their girl group also has a pretty full schedule?
We absolutely have to take advantage of these deals!
Unfortunately, Xu An didn't have much time to persuade them. Soon, Bai Ge and Jiang Zhaoyue's agents came to pick them up.
Shen Wanwan's mother also came over, and Xu An felt that her gaze towards him carried a hint of satisfaction.
Could it be that Shen Wanwan told her last night that she was the one who asked her to make the call?
After a brief farewell, Xu An was left alone in the cabin.
Okay, there are others too.
Xu An looked at Chen Hong, who had appeared in front of him at some unknown time, and suddenly had a premonition.
I'm about to get ripped off!
