I Want To Retire From the Circle but Become Famous by Acting Poorly

Su Chengyang didn’t expect Qi Fu to be so easily bullied, even she couldn’t help but make a few jokes with others.

As a result, they went back and forth, crazily injecting ideas into him about how the audience would perceive him after the show aired. This resulted in the intimidation of the man who was over 1.8 meters tall and made him restless with red eyes.

Finally, they realized that Qi Fu had taken their words seriously and quickly tried to console him.

Han Songxue said, “Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. Not many people watch this lousy show. Just think about it, we haven’t done a single productive thing since yesterday. Even if the editors put your words into the final cut, not many people will know.”

Jiang Shanqi agreed, “She’s right. I don’t have any hope for this show either. Just think of it as spending money to accumulate merit.”

Song Mingan coughed and said, “Brother Qi, you should learn from me…”

Han Songxue and the other person both said in unison, “Shut up!”

With Song Mingan’s mouth closed, he silently moved to the other side to perform a living-person autism act.

Seeing that Qi Fu still looked a bit uneasy, Su Chengyang said, “Don’t worry too much. After the show airs, there won’t really be many people watching it.”

The group of staff members walking behind them: “…”

Are they speaking human language?

After their repeated assurances, Qi Fu finally relaxed, and they all went to the place where they were going to make breakfast.

When they arrived, there were still plenty of ingredients left, and they successfully completed the breakfast making with the villagers.

After the meal, the staff members arranged them in separate rooms and said they needed to assimilate into the local culture and dress up like villagers.

For half a morning, Su Chengyang spent her time doing makeup. After finishing her eye makeup, she closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair to take a nap.

Su Chengyang was awakened from her half-asleep state by the staff and opened her eyes to see herself in the mirror.

Although the face in the mirror was very familiar, Su Chengyang still looked stunned for a few seconds.

She had a jade-like accessory hanging from her forehead, her hair was combed up on her head with only two small strands of hair left on either side of her forehead. The top part of her hair was fixed with a red and black cord, while the rest of her hair fell loosely on her shoulders. She was already dressed in the clothes prepared by the program team, and at first glance, she looked like a high-ranking priestess in an ancient and mysterious tribe.

“Miss Su, which type of flower headdress do you prefer?” the makeup artist asked softly.

Su Chengyang came back to her senses and replied, “Just something ordinary.”

“Okay.”

In the end, the makeup artist chose a simple peach blossom flower headdress for Su Chengyang.

After finishing her makeup, the makeup artist looked at her own work on Su Chengyang’s face and exclaimed, “Miss Su, this makeup style suits you very well.”

“Thank you.” Su Chengyang politely thanked her.

Then, the makeup artist overturned her words and said, “No, you don’t just suit this makeup style. Your face can handle any makeup style, and getting your makeup done is a pleasure.”

Su Chengyang chuckled, “Thank you, Teacher1The makeup artist is seen as a master or teacher of the craft, and using the term “老师” is a way to acknowledge and honor their expertise..”

In fact, Su Chengyang had heard similar words not only from this makeup artist but also from previous ones who had done her makeup. This was also one of the reasons why Su Chengyang never became very popular.

Her face did not have any standout features on screen, so makeup artists usually highlighted one particular feature to make the audience remember. However, Su Chengyang herself did not have this ability, and she also never wanted to spend money on self-promotion. Therefore, when the characters she played became popular, few people would mention her name, and Su Chengyang never cared about these things.

After thanking the makeup artist, Su Chengyang left the room.

As she walked out, she noticed that the other guests had not yet finished their makeup.

Standing under the eaves, she looked up and saw the sunlight falling on the moss, with faint fluctuations floating in the air. Wearing this dress, she seemed to see the sky of decades ago through the present moment.

At that moment, Su Chengyang appreciated the charm of Wangjing Village.

Here, she could vaguely see the traces of history.

Behind her, the director and Lin Yu stood at the door of the room, staring at the girl who looked up at the sky under the eaves.

She was calm and indifferent, and the sunlight fell on her face, illuminating the hairs and blood vessels on her skin. It was as if the girl originally belonged to this place, and what she saw was something she had always been familiar with.

At present, she was a little different from the usual Su Chengyang.

Invisible to the eye, she seemed to blend herself into the surrounding scenery. Her makeup, clothing, and the surroundings complemented her current mood, creating a completely different existence from Su Chengyang, one that was unique to Wangjing Village: “Su Chengyang.”

“She’s a natural born actress,” the director exclaimed involuntarily.

It’s an extremely rare talent to dress like what you want to convey and act out what you want to express.

Lin Yu frowned, wanting to intervene, but the girl had already noticed the movement and glanced at them from the corner of her eye.

Su Chengyang heard someone speaking behind her and turned her head to find it was Lin Yu and the director.

She nodded slightly. “Hello, Mr. Lin and director.”

Lin Yu smiled. “How was your sleep last night?”

“It was good.”

“That’s good.” Lin Yu’s brown eyes focused on her. “You look great in this attire.”

“Thank you.”

The director’s eyes flickered as he said, “Chengyang, since the others haven’t come out yet, go take a couple of photos as the program’s promotional cover.”

“Huh?” Su Chengyang was taken aback. She remembered that the contract did not require guests to cooperate with promotion because it would cost extra.

Lin Yu glanced at him, knowing what he was thinking, and said to Su Chengyang, “Go ahead and take them. It’s twenty thousand yuan for one photo.”

The director: “…”

“Really?” Su Chengyang’s eyes brightened.

Lin Yu nodded. “The director will pay now.”

The director: “…”

It’s really difficult to take advantage of you guys from Starlight Entertainment.

“Well, let’s go then.”

As soon as she heard that she could earn money by taking a few photos, Su Chengyang immediately became excited.

The director’s words were already said and couldn’t be taken back, so he called a staff member with a camera and instructed him with a pained expression, “Just two pictures, only two pictures, don’t take more.”

The photographer looked at Su Chengyang in amazement and exclaimed, “Director, only two pictures? That’s too much of a waste.”

“Nonsense! Only two, otherwise, I’ll deduct your bonus.”

“Okay.”

The photographer and Su Chengyang left the courtyard and found a suitable location nearby to take photos.

Su Chengyang never expected that she could make some extra money by coming out to record a program. With just a few words from Lin Yu, she earned forty thousand yuan. Together with the compensation she received from the lawsuit, Lin Yu had become an image in her heart — the god of wealth.

After the photo shoot, under Lin Yu’s supervision, Su Chengyang received the forty thousand yuan from the director and happily held up the payment message in front of Lin Yu, excitedly saying, “Mr. Lin, I received it!”

Su Chengyang stood on the edge of the stairs, and Lin Yu was worried that she was too excited and might fall, so he instinctively reached out and lightly held her arm, smiling and saying, “Congratulations.”

“Mr. Lin, is there anything you want? I’ll give it to you. After all, it was you who helped me get the job.”

Lin Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying, “No need, you keep it for yourself.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin!”

As she retrieved her phone, Lin Yu let go of her hand.

The others also emerged from the room, and Han Songxue spotted Su Chengyang. “Chengyang!”

Su Chengyang returned the phone to the staff and said to Lin Yu, “Mr. Lin, I’m going to film the show now.”

“Um.”

In a short period of time, Su Chengyang had earned a huge sum of money, and she was in a very happy mood as she walked over to the group.

“Chengyang, you look really good in that outfit,” Han Songxue sighed, “I’m a modern-looking person and not suitable for this kind of dress.”

“No, you look beautiful,” Su Chengyang sincerely complimented her.

Han Songxue immediately smiled with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “Actually, I was just kidding.”

“Shanqi?”

After coming out of the room, Jiang Shanqi unconsciously walked towards Su Chengyang. Her agent looked at her with confusion and said, “Are you going to find Su Chengyang? Aren’t you…”

Jiang Shanqi said, “I don’t believe what my senior sister said.”

Then she walked towards Su Chengyang and his group.

As she approached, she heard Han Songxue bragging about herself and said bluntly, “Having a clear understanding of oneself, you really don’t suit this kind of dress.”

Han Songxue looked at her with a sullen face and said, “You’re not much better than me.”

Then she leaned towards Su Chengyang and said in a not-so-quiet voice, “What’s wrong with Jiang Shanqi? Why does she always follow us around like a tail? Like a sycophant?”

“Who are you calling a sycophant?” Jiang Shanqi glared at her in anger.

“Then why don’t you leave and stop following us?” Han Songxue raised her chin and said.

Jiang Shanqi coldly snorted and stood on the other side of Su Chengyang, “Don’t flatter yourself, I’m not here to find you.”

Han Songxue said, “Then you’re here to find Chengyang, right? I have at least 24 more hours of friendship with Chengyang than you. Step aside.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shanqi glared at her, “Are you in elementary school?”

“You’re the one in elementary school. Your whole family is in elementary school,” Han Songxue retorted.

“Songxue, don’t involve family members. You’ve gone too far,” Su Chengyang interjected.

Just as the two girls were bickering, Song Mingan suddenly walked out from another door.

He was dressed similarly to everyone else, walking out of the door with an elegant demeanor, with a phoenix totem painted on his cheek.

Han Songxue sneered, “What are you wearing? You look like a poor scholar.”

Su Chengyang nodded in agreement, “Indeed.”

Jiang Shanqi also felt the same, “Exactly.”

Song Mingan’s face drooped, “From now on, we’re all sisters. You can’t exclude me anymore.”

Qi Fu happened to walk over, “Sisters? Mingan, are you interested? I should have a few dresses that would suit you…”

Song Mingan replied expressionlessly, “No need, thank you.”

He felt that if he stayed with them for a few more days, he could cure all his problems.
