Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

The two agreed to meet at ten o'clock, but she arrived twenty minutes early to show that she was more sincere.

In about two years, the city hasn't changed much, but the entertainment industry has seen many new faces, and some artists who were very popular two years ago seem to have disappeared.

The pace of technological advancement is so fast that it's hard to keep up.

The turnover rate of new and old celebrities in the entertainment industry is also about the same.

Since leaving the city, Lin Wan has felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the people and things there that she didn't have before. As for that short drama, it had just started to gain popularity before she went to prison, but in just two years, many actors were forced to lose their jobs. Even her parents would spend all their free time watching it on their phones.

Lin Wan also took a look.

Although it was a bit rough around the edges and the characters' expressions looked stiff, it was all free.

Lin Wan is quite clear about which option most people would choose between paid and free. Even if a paid show wants to outperform a free one, it has to be a high-quality production. If the quality is three to five times worse, viewers will still choose the free option.

The phone rang.

Lin Wan picked up the phone and saw that it was Xu Ying calling. She quickly answered and gave her the location of the private room before leaving.

Before long, she saw two figures wearing masks on their faces.

Sister Xu

Both of them were wearing masks, and Lin Wan couldn't tell which one was Xu Ying who had asked her out. However, she still waved to them. When she saw them walking over, Lin Wan knew that she hadn't mistaken one of them. One of them must be Xu Ying, the female capitalist in the entertainment industry.

Two years ago, the gap between her and others was already huge, not to mention now, it's like heaven and earth. While she was still thinking about how to make a comeback, Xu Ying had the power to decide whether she could make a successful comeback. This was difficult, quite difficult, but if there was capital behind the scenes, there was still some room for maneuver.

Conversely... there will be none at all.

"I've lost a lot of weight"

After entering the private room, Xu Ying took off her mask. Looking at Lin Wan, who didn't look as glamorous as before, she smiled and said, "Congratulations anyway."

"Thanks"

Lin Wan quickly smiled and nodded.

It's certain that they'll lose weight. Many people see that some people who have been released from prison seem to have gained a lot of weight, and mistakenly believe that the food in prison is good. In reality, it's terrible. The reason for this misconception is that many men had a smoking addiction before going to prison, and they were forced to quit smoking after entering prison. This caused them to gain weight even though the food was very bad.

Women rarely smoke, and they are not as good as men at handling stress, so they all look very thin after they get out. She was the same. Before she went to prison, she had to act, so she kept her weight between 90 and 95 pounds. Now she weighs only 80 pounds. After thanking Xu Ying for her congratulations, Lin Wan looked at the woman next to her.

After she took off her mask, Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment when she saw a small, round face. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but she still greeted her warmly, "Oh, it's Sister Zhao!"

Lin Wan wasn't very familiar with Xu Ying yet.

But they are very familiar with Zhao Liyuan.

:

Not only did she lose the lead role in a TV series to Zhao Liyuan, but she also turned down a role in a TV series called "The City of Love". Unexpectedly, Zhao Liyuan took the role, and the series eventually became the highest-rated TV series of the year.

She was so angry she almost fainted.

In terms of career development, Zhao Liyuan is much better than her. The main reason is that this woman has a unique eye for choosing scripts. If she hadn't gone to jail and had stayed in the entertainment industry to continue her career, she could have reached the same level as Zhao Liyuan if she had been lucky.

"haven't seen you for a long time"

After seeing Lin Wan's current appearance, Zhao Liyuan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

It's definitely not comparable to what it used to be.

Although Lin Wan wasn't exactly a stunning beauty in the entertainment industry before, she was a classic beauty with delicate features and a slender jawline. In particular, her eyes and brows seemed to be veiled in a thin mist, giving her a cool and aloof aura.

Now!

She has lost a lot of weight, which has made her cheeks slightly sunken, and she has a kind of age-related appearance that she didn't have before, but this is how she should look at her age.

Previously, her fame in the entertainment industry gave her a radiant aura, and she regularly visited top skincare stores for facial treatments and used face masks suitable for her skin type. However, things changed after she entered prison. Not only could she not take care of her skin, but she also had to endure inner torment.

So even though Zhao Liyuan knew that Huang Min could not remarry Lin Wan, she still had some worries. But after seeing Lin Wan's current appearance and overall condition, she knew that she really didn't need to worry.

"haven't seen you for a long time"

Lin Wan smiled and said, "I heard you got married and had a son. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet."

No need for congratulations.

Zhao Liyuan waved her hand, smiled, and pointed to Xu Ying sitting next to her, saying, "You can congratulate Xu Ying; in a few months, she will become a mother of two."

"..."

Lin Wan's gaze unconsciously fell on Xu Ying's stomach. She had noticed it earlier but hadn't said anything directly. After all, pregnancy and children in the entertainment industry are often taboo topics. She hadn't expected Zhao Liyuan to mention it, which meant that the child in Xu Ying's belly wasn't some taboo subject. Realizing this, Lin Wan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sister Xu!"

"Do you know why I asked you out today?"

Xu Ying asked.

"I'm quite curious too."

Lin Wan replied with a smile.

I won't waste any more words.

Xu Ying looked at Lin Wan and asked directly, "What are your plans for coming out this time? Of course, I'm not interested in your plans. I asked you out today to tell you something. If you want to remarry Huang Min, then please give up that idea. The reason I asked you out is not because I really think Huang Min will remarry you, but mainly because your appearance has affected his mood."

Lin Wan frowned.

She was a little unsure of what Xu Ying meant by those words.

:

After a slight hesitation, Lin Wan asked, "Whether I have any thoughts about remarrying my ex-husband should be none of your business, Sister Xu..."

"Snap"

Lin Wan hadn't finished speaking.

Xu Ying raised her hand and slapped her across the face. After slapping her, Xu Ying pointed to her lower abdomen and said, "See this? Huang Min's child. So you still say it has nothing to do with me? Your past with Huang Min has nothing to do with me, but he is now my man, Xu Ying's man, and the father of my two sons."

Lin Wan, who was covering her right cheek, turned pale.

Immediately afterwards, her body swayed slightly, appearing as if she were about to collapse.
