Chapter 27: The Youngest Best Actor—Yi Ziyao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was ridiculous. In her previous life, Li Beibei had also dabbled in showbiz by accident, but she fared utterly miserably.

Firstly, she had no intention of joining showbiz in the first place. Secondly, Su Qingdai had secretly fabricated countless scandals, but she always advised Li Beibei not to care about what others thought. As a result, Li Beibei was drenched in internet infamy at the time of her death.

In this life, she was going to give it to Su Qingdai.

Two days later, Su Qingdai received a call from the production team—they said that there was a role of a maid and asked if she was interested.

Su Qingdai was disappointed. Li Beibei had said that she would help her get a role, but it was one of a maid.

However, it was better than nothing, so she quickly agreed.

On the day she joined the crew, the weather was good.

After the opening ceremony, there was a banquet for the entire production team at night.

More than a hundred people had joined the production team up to now. There were a total of ten tables.

Li Beibei’s table was the youth group.

Young Li Hong—played by 18-year-old Yi Ziyao who had been a child star.

Young Li Xian—played by 18-year-old Liang Feifan who got his start from a talent show.

Young Li Dan—played by 19-year-old Zhang Jiaji.

Young Wei Xiang’er—played by 17-year-old Yang Zhenzhen.

Su Qingdai was also here. She was playing the role of Princess Taiping’s maid, Zijin.

This character had very few scenes and was not likable. She only had three scenes and more than ten lines. She was considered an extra and not qualified to sit with the main cast.

Nonetheless, Su Qingdai shamelessly sat beside Li Beibei.

The few of them introduced themselves and added each other on WeChat.

Li Beibei had interacted with these people in her previous life, but she was not familiar with them.

This was because she had previously played Su Qingdai’s current role.

At that time, Su Qingdai had the role of Princess Taiping. When filming was about to end, Li Beibei visited the set. Coincidentally, the actress who was playing the role of this young maid suddenly had a stomachache. The director was afraid of delaying the progress, so he decided to replace her at the last minute. Su Qingdai suggested that Li Beibei—who had come for a visit—make a guest appearance.

Out of a desire to help, Li Beibei did not refuse.

Unbeknownst to her, everything had been arranged by Su Qingdai—she had deliberately added laxatives to the original actress’ bento.

As for Su Qingdai’s motive for doing this, it was just that there was a scene that day—Princess Taiping teaching this maid a lesson by slapping her.

Li Beibei remembered that in her previous life, this scene required 16 takes before it was okay.

At that time, she only thought that Su Qingdai was out of form and did not suspect anything.

Now that she thought about it, she had been so naive and stupid in her previous life.

After adding one another on WeChat, Yang Zhenzhen created a group called “The Young Us” and added everyone.

Then, they began to exchange pleasantries.

The others were all in showbiz and knew one another.

Yang Zhenzhen said, “Ziyao, congratulations. Your movie—Small Shop in Hometown—has been nominated for the Azure Dragon Award for Best Actor. If you win, you might be the youngest Best Actor in showbiz. My agent said that the possibility of you winning is relatively high.”

Su Qingdai said, “I caught that movie when it came out. Ziyao, I’m a huge fan of yours. I grew up watching your movies.”

Su Qingdai seemed especially excited, looking like a fangirl.

Liang Feifan quipped, “The two of you are about the same age, right?”

Su Qingdai blushed and said, “That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that Ziyao’s been famous from a young age. He’s truly a superstar.”
