Nan Wan gritted her teeth. “I’m someone who has gone overseas to film a movie. How can I go back to filming an online drama?”
Her manager said, “The star-rated dramas that are about to start filming have already been decided on their main characters.”
Nan Wan took a deep breath and asked, “What about the supporting actress for the star-rated drama? Have they been decided on as well?”
Her manager was silent for a moment before saying, “This online drama is not bad. You can give it a try.”
“That’s what you said before. I’ve filmed three online dramas in a row, but none of them have caught on!” Nan Wan said angrily, “There’s no way I’m going back to filming online dramas! Don’t give me such scripts in the future.”
Her manager looked at the script on the floor and sighed.
Picking up the script, the manager prepared to leave.
Nan Wan spoke again, “Oh right, if there’s a variety show, you can help me pick it up. I want it to be no less popular than [Star Idol].”
The manager: “…Alright.”
Everyone envied her for bringing along a young miss.
But only the manager knew how difficult it was to please the young miss.
Why did she not want to act in an online drama?
The female lead of a star-rated drama always asked for an A-List actress.
The supporting actress did not need fame, but she needed acting skills!

On the other side, the second live broadcast of [Star Idol] began.
This time, Shen Hanquan opened the show and Shi Xi hosted it.
While watching the stage from below, Shi Xi had to admit that Shen Hanquan was able to become the sponsor of [Star Idol] because he really had some skills.
Whether it was his singing and dancing skills or his stage performance, he was a few streets ahead of those trainees.
Some people were very good at dancing, but when they were on stage, they could not perform at their best.
When an idol stood on stage, it was not only a test of singing and dancing, but also of expression management, the sensitivity of grasping the camera, and the performance on stage.
These things were all honed from one stage to another.
After watching Shen Hanquan’s stage, Shi Xi walked up to the stage to host.
When the audience below the stage saw Shi Xi, the cheers became even louder.
Shi Xi’s eyes swept down and realized that there was also her own light sign and support banner. Her eyebrows and eyes curved. “Welcome to the live broadcast venue of the second public performance of [Star Idol]. I am the popularity mentor, Shi Xi.”
The girl was wearing a white shirt and a light blue short skirt. There was a cherry blossom-shaped pink pin pinned on her chest, adding a lot of color to her simple clothes. Her long pink hair fell to her chest and was pinned with a diamond hairpin.
What was even more dazzling was the girl’s appearance.
A few small stars were stuck around her bright eyes, making her look cute and full of vitality.
“…Please enjoy the stage brought by the trainees!”
Although it was Shi Xi’s first time hosting solo, she was graceful and did not choke while hosting. Her voice was very smooth.
The director nodded repeatedly backstage.
One had to know that hosting was not a simple job. Not only did one have to enunciate clearly, but one also had to react quickly.
If one mispronounced a word during the hosting, the sponsor might have to deduct hundreds of thousands of dollars!
..
Shi Xi looked at the performances of the trainees on stage and sighed in her heart.
It was much better than when they were rehearsing.
She didn’t expect that these trainees would improve so quickly.
After Shen Hanquan changed his clothes, he continued to host the second public performance with Shi Xi.
The second public performance passed without any shock. Each group performed very well.
But this was a competition, a talent show.
It depended on the audience’s preferences and votes.
At the end of the recording, Shen Hanquan announced the rules for the next public performance:
“During the third public performance, each group will have a ‘senior’ joining them to help with the stage performance!”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Shi Xi.
Shi Xi laughed. ‘F*ck, don’t look at me! I can only help one group!’
