Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Nicknames and Such

Tong Yan was truly disgusted. Wasn’t it shameless of them to retweet her Weibo in support at this time, just to ride the wave of popularity? And they occasionally talked about her being a stand-in actress or something. She opened Tang Tian’s Weibo, and sure enough, her followers had increased substantially, with some of Tong Yan’s fans leaving comments under Tang Tian’s posts.

Tong Yan only replied to Jiang Yu, ignoring the other two.

That night, Tang Tian called. As soon as Tong Yan answered, she heard Tang Tian sobbing, her voice trembling, ”Yanyan, are you still mad at me? I really didn’t mean it, you have to believe me. If it’s really not okay, I’ll just tell the director that I won’t act anymore, at worst I’ll pay a little money, for you...”

”I believe you.” Tong Yan interrupted her with three words, ”This role has a lot of potential, you should play it well. I was impulsive at the time and couldn’t accept it for the moment. We’re good friends; how could I not believe in you?”

Relieved by the satisfactory answer, Tang Tian chatted with her a bit more before hanging up.

Tong Yan held the phone and sneered, ”Tang Tian, enjoy it while you can.”

The overall shooting of ”Reckless Youth” was expected to take half a year, and she had several months of downtime. Since Yang Wen couldn’t leave due to filming, he assigned her an agent to sign with. She didn’t hesitate to sign, officially becoming an artist under Fengyun Studio, and this agent had always been her manager.

This agent was named Gu Feng, and his appearance was very solemn and meticulous.

The first time Gu Feng met her, he shook hands with her, ”Hello, I’m Gu Feng, your agent.”

Before Tong Yan could react, Gu Feng took out a notebook for her to see, ”This is your schedule for the next week.”

ORZ, do we have to work this hard...

”Any questions?” Gu Feng asked.

Tong Yan raised her hand, looking at him earnestly, her face full of sincerity, ”Can’t keep up.”

Gu Feng’s mouth twitched. This girl was honest; at this moment, he felt utterly defeated inside.

Yet it was useless. Tong Yan still had to follow the schedule in Gu Feng’s little notebook, finally starting to get busy. On the first day, she shot a magazine cover, and the next day she rushed to an interview.

Tong Yan was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground. Bit by bit, she entered the public eye, and many people already knew about the girl named Tong Yan.

She already had quite a few fans on Weibo. Unlike other actors, Tong Yan didn’t post selfies or drama about long nights filming and injuries that would garner fans’ sympathy. Her Weibo had only one theme: what she ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day...

And then, the next day, she continued the same...

Her fans were not scared away, surprisingly.

Because this girl’s appetite was amazing, a single photo couldn’t capture all she ate in one meal, often requiring two or three...

Thus, under her Weibo posts, the usual replies were as follows:

Tong Xiaopang broke another record today, nice, keep it up.

Did Tong Xiaopang eat so little because she’s ill?

Tong Xiaopang, is reporting every day really okay? I have to unfollow since I’m on a diet.

...

In the end, simply annoyed by her, fans directly called her Little Fatty...

For a fan to nickname a female artist ”Little Fatty,” this girl didn’t feel ashamed but rather proud. Yet one day, Gu Feng saw her happily posting on Weibo and snatched the phone away from her. After scrolling through her Weibo, he was in a state of shock for a long time.

Because Tong Yan was always secretly eating snacks or meals away from Gu Feng, even when eating with him, she would sneak in extra meals when he wasn’t looking, so Gu Feng never realized her appetite was so large.

At this point, Gu Feng was extremely distressed inside. Does this girl have any awareness as a female artist? No, with such a large appetite, can she still be called a woman?

He quickly confiscated her phone and carpet-bombed her with criticism, talking about everything from her behavior to her life. Tong Yan didn’t feel much until Gu Feng said that she’d be restricted from snacking in the future and could only eat one bowl of rice, then she was thoroughly spartanized.
