Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 594 Final Exam is Coming
Beijing Dance Academy campus.

Li Yitong, wearing a pink sun hat and carrying two boxes of ice cream, hurried into the library. The first thing that hit her was the not-so-fresh cold air and the noisy noise of countless whispers.

Only in the scorching hot summer will the library of Beijing Dance Academy be so lively.

The administrator on duty had long been accustomed to the library, which was not quiet at all, so he sat at the front desk in a daze, turning a deaf ear to everything.

Li Yitong looked around for a while and soon found her target in the crowd. She walked over, took out a box of ice cream and handed it to Jin Chen who was watching a video on his laptop.

Jin Chen subconsciously took off half of his earphones, turned around and saw that it was Li Yitong, and stuffed them into her ears, then snatched the ice cream and said jokingly, "Do you want to rewind and watch it from the beginning?"

"What do you say?"

Li Yitong glared at her: "We agreed to watch it together!"

Jin Chen lowered her head to tear off the lid of the ice cream, and said coquettishly without any sincerity: "Oh, I couldn't help it~"

"Ah~"

Li Yitong sat next to her with disdain, pulled the notebook to the center, and pulled the half-played video back to the starting point.

At this time, Jin Chen had already finished the ice cream. He scooped up a large piece with a small wooden spoon and held it in his mouth. He exhaled and whispered, "Jiang Yiyan, Chen Shu, and Jiang Xin didn't come this episode. They all found someone to take their place."

What the two are following is naturally the second episode of the hottest variety show in recent times - "Along the Way to Prosperity".

"Jiang Yiyan didn't come?"

Li Yitong was originally unhappy with her spoiler, but when she heard that Jiang Yiyan was not in the story, she immediately became anxious: "Won't there be a lot less to watch?"

"I thought so at first, but Huang Yi, who was substituting for Chen Shu, started to quarrel with Huo Siyan again, as if they had some deep hatred..."

"Stop, stop, I can see for myself!"

Li Yitong quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

The two of them ate ice cream and watched the variety show, and more than an hour passed quickly.

When it came to the final stage of thanking sponsors, Jin Chen quickly clicked X, as if he would be at a disadvantage if he looked at it for one more second.

Li Yitong stretched her body and said with a lingering feeling: "I don't know if there will be a special issue this time."

"I don't think so."

As Jin Chen spoke, he urged, "Don't waste time, quickly search Baidu and see who that weird second-generation rich boyfriend mentioned in the comments is!"

When Jin Chen watched it, there weren't so many comments. But when he went back to watch it again, the line 'I'm sorry Huang Yi, but I really love Huo Siyan' started to flood the screen.

That's why Jin Chen is so curious about who this rich second-generation scumbag who said the explosive quote is.
"Why bother using Baidu? Let's just go to Fanfou and read their Weibo accounts. There will definitely be people who can provide scientific information and expose the truth in the comment section below!"

As Li Yitong spoke, she clicked on the shortcut icon of Fanfou. As soon as the webpage opened, an advertisement with red background and gold letters popped up: The number of registered users of Fanfou exceeded 3500 million!
Starting from April 4st, in just over two months, the number of registered users of Fanfou skyrocketed from less than 1 million to 200 million.

More than half of these companies were attracted by Xu Kun from the entertainment industry. With such rapid development, it is no wonder that so many Internet start-ups hope to get his investment.

Li Yitong and Jin Chen were already used to the pop-up windows celebrating on Fanfou every few days. Li Yitong closed the pop-up window with a wave of her hand, and then the two of them focused their attention on the hot search list on the right.

At present, Fanfou has become the website with the largest number and highest concentration of celebrities in Asia. Various entertainment gossips emerge in an endless stream, and the daily hot searches are basically occupied by major celebrities.

As expected, Huang Yi and Huo Siyan ranked first and second respectively. The third place was not a member of the sister group, but Yao Chen, who became popular again with "The Disguiser".

If we talk about popularity on Fanfou nowadays, Xu Kun is definitely in one of the leagues. The next highest is not some big shot in the circle, but Yao Chen, also known as Yao Dazui - the latter hangs out on Fanfou almost every day and always does things that attract attention.

Under normal circumstances, Li Yitong would definitely check out what new things Yao Chen has come up with, but now she is so anxious to eat the gossip about Huo Siyan and Huang Yi that she has no time to pay attention to Dazui.

She quickly clicked on Huang Yi, who was ranked first, and then plunged into the ocean of gossip with Jin Chen.

It was not until the evening that the two of them closed Fanfou with satisfaction.

Li Yitong asked: "Hey~what are we having for dinner?"

"I don't know, but the midnight snack is definitely papaya. We bought it together in the dormitory and have been eating it for ten days. Do you think it works?"

As Jin Chen spoke, he squeezed his arms tightly around his body, trying to highlight how big and small he was.

"Wow, so big~"

Li Yitong pointed at her arm and said, "Your biceps are really big!"

"go away!"

Jin Chen rolled his eyes, but saw Li Yitong really got up and left, but she didn't walk out, but walked deeper into the library.

"Why are you going?"

"Go to the bathroom."

"Then hurry up!" Watching Li Yitong walk away, Jin Chen opened the browser again out of boredom, and switched to several portal websites at random. He found that there were related reports on "Along the Way of Flowers" on the front page of the entertainment section, and Huang Yi's name appeared frequently in the title.

Tsk~
This popularity is almost as high as Yao Chen.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Yitong came back from the bathroom and saw Jin Chen staring at his notebook in a daze, so she asked curiously.

"nothing."

Jin Chen shook his head at first, then asked hopefully, "If we are selected by the crew of The Way of Heaven, will we be able to..."

"Shh~!"

Li Yitong quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, then picked up Jin Chen and the notebook and walked out.

When they got outside, she complained, "I told you not to mention this in school. If it gets out, those gossipers will make up stories about it."

It turned out that she and Jin Chen were the two girls from Beijing Dance Academy who pretended to be students of Beijing Film Academy and successfully passed the re-examination of "The Way of Heaven".

This matter was started by Li Yitong. She is a senior "Aikun" and is crazy about Meng Hao in "The Boss".

Later, I heard that the sequel to "Boss" "The Way of Heaven" would cast the female lead from among art students in school. I was so excited that I almost jumped up.

After some careful inquiry, I found out that it was limited to the three major performing arts schools.

Li Yitong was extremely depressed and sighed in Jin Chen's ear all day long. As a result, Jin Chen gave her an idea: she might as well pretend to be a student of Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama and participate in the competition.

If we are really selected, we can't be rejected just because we are from Beijing Dance Academy, right?
So the two of them went to Beijing Film Academy, and finally they passed the re-examination in a muddle, and their identities were also cleared in front of the gold medal producer Chen Xuebin.

The two were naturally very happy about this, but given the "good reputation" of Mr. Xu in certain aspects, they kept it a secret and never dared to tell their classmates.

Jin Chen said disapprovingly: "Recently, your idol's reputation in this area has been somewhat affected. Even if it is exposed, it should be..."

"But after all, we are not using legitimate channels, so we are more likely to be targeted."

"What if I'm really chosen?"

Jin Chen questioned: "Then we won't be able to hide it anymore."

"If I can't hide it, then I can't hide it. If I'm really chosen, who would care about being criticized? I just don't want to get into trouble before I get to eat the grapes."

"Hey~"

Jin Chen suddenly perked up, nudged Li Yitong with his elbow, and asked slyly, "So as long as you can eat the grapes, you can do whatever you want?"

"Screw you!"

The two of them ran to the cafeteria, playing and laughing. Because Li Yitong went outside the school to buy ice cream in the afternoon, Jin Chen was the one who served the food this time.

Li Yitong found an empty table with her notebook. Before she even sat down, she received a call from the preparation team of "The Way of Heaven", asking her to go to Huayi on the 12th to accept the final interview with director Xu Kun.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yitong felt her heart pounding. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still excited at the thought of meeting her idol in two days.

At this time, Jin Chen, who had gone out to get food, trotted back with two empty plates and said excitedly: "Here I am, here I am, the final interview..."

"Shh~"

Li Yitong quickly signaled her to speak more quietly.

Jin Chen sat opposite her, his face suddenly becoming serious: "The final interview is different from the re-examination. Only one person can stand out, so we will be rivals by then! So..."

Li Yitong was caught off guard by her sudden attack.

Indeed, the two will be rivals next. Although Li Yitong, who is only a sophomore, cannot fully understand what it means to get this role, she also knows that this is a good opportunity that countless people are scrambling to get.

Thinking of the many examples in the entertainment industry of good sisters turning against each other in order to compete for roles, Li Yitong's joy was greatly reduced, and was replaced by confusion.

At this moment, Jin Chen suddenly raised her hand towards her. Although Li Yitong didn't understand what she meant, she still subconsciously raised her hand to greet her.

slap~
"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

"roll!"

Li Yitong finally realized that Jin Chen was playing a prank on her. She angrily slapped her hand away and scolded, "Hurry up and get some food. Do you want to starve me to death?!"

"It's your order~"

Jin Chen held the food tray, bowed, and went back to the window to queue up, laughing.

Li Yitong looked at her back, then at her own hands, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
