Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 46: The Big Pancake Sparks a Battle Between Big and Small Flowers

Gu Luojin, who was waiting for the audition notice outside the "Better Days" film crew, squinted and rested, replaying the scene of parting yesterday in her mind.

Two days of travel flew by, and he gained a new understanding of the girls from Chongqing.

On the last day, Wang Lu rested at the hotel, while Gu Luojin and Tian Xiwei, a single man and woman, went out for the day.

When she returned, she saw lipstick marks on Gu Luojin's lips, clearly indicating that another beautiful woman had fallen into his hands.

Gu Luojin couldn't understand it. He had clearly expressed to Tian Xiwei that he had been hurt by two previous relationships and didn't want to be in a relationship anymore.

She's still willing to be a moth to a flame, even saying she doesn't care about her reputation.

With him still disagreeing, Tian Xiwei stepped forward.

"I've already collected the tour guide fees for the past two days, so you don't need to pay again."

After the kiss, she skipped away without giving him any feedback.

But what's his will always be his.

……

Being in Chongqing province gave him a first-mover advantage, as he was the first to arrive at the audition location.

When he opened his eyes, he made eye contact with the young actor who had just arrived at the film set.

It's said that enemies are destined to meet, and when will this cycle of enemies end?

Looking at the cold and sharp gaze of the young man with the four-character name, Gu Luojin revealed an innocent smile.

Good morning.

Upon hearing Gu Luojin's words, Yi Yangqianxi's long-suppressed anger surged to his head.

Just as she was about to step forward, her agent, Li Qian, stopped her and reminded her: "The audition is important. Once you win the male lead role, no matter what he says or does, he's destined to be your loser."

After hearing the advice, the young man took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger.

She returned Gu Luojin's cold gaze with a snort and moved away from his location.

"This kid greeted him, how can this person be so impolite? He has no respect for his seniors at all."

"My dear Gu, stop taking advantage of others and tone it down."

"If you were the one being slandered for that long, you might be even more irritable than him."

As the instigator who stirred up discord among the three fan groups, Gu Luojin was unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Although his online trolls withdrew, the other two fan groups continued to smear the young star for a long time, to the point that even the company couldn't mediate the situation.

Finally, the youngest member of the group learned a trick from Gu Luojin—shifting the blame to another group by using his online army to impersonate fans of one of the groups and tear each other apart.

This relieved a lot of his pressure, and eventually formed a three-way power struggle, with each side disliking the other two.

Seeing that the three members were in a situation where they had to develop separately, the company announced last month that TF would not disband but would pursue solo careers. The three members, Wang Junkai, Wang Yuan, and Yi Yangqianxi, each established their own individual studios.

How far did their feud go? The staff behind the scenes forbade them from mentioning each other's names, and they couldn't even appear in the same frame unless absolutely necessary.

This was the first group in the Chinese entertainment industry to debut while still a minor, and also the first group to have the most intense fan wars.

Unprecedented and unparalleled, this is truly unique.

While waiting, I saw three stunningly beautiful female celebrities walk in together.

Gu Luojin was very curious as to why the puppy Zhou Ye hadn't appeared with them, since she was the ultimate winner.

The male lead is being contested by Gu Luojin and Yi Yangqianxi, and they're already fiercely competing. Even before the audition, they were already badmouthing each other.

The second female lead attracted competition from four actresses, leading to a fierce and cutthroat battle.

The auditions for the male lead were not as intense as those for the female second lead.

Don't ask why there's no female lead; it's been decided beforehand.

Zhang Jingyi was accompanied by her agent. Because Zhou Xun, a top actress, had invested a lot of resources in her, Zhang Jingyi dared not communicate with Gu Luojin openly due to Zhou Xun's ban.

She gestured to Gu Luojin with her eyes to start chatting on her phone.

Staff members distributed number tags to the three actresses who had arrived at the scene.

[Are Zhang Jianing (No. 1), Xue Kaiqi (No. 2), Zhang Jingyi (No. 3), and Zhou Ye (No. 4) still not here?]

"They're here, they're here."

Zhou Ye and her agent rushed in, muttering, "Sister Meng, you almost got me killed."

[Zhou Ye, license plate number 4.]

The two chatted until 1 a.m. last night and she almost couldn't get up. If her agent hadn't arrived in time, she wouldn't have been able to board the plane.

Two familiar faces came at once, so he wouldn't be bored.

A staff member called out, "Zhang Jianing, it's your turn to audition."

Zhang Jianing got up and walked into the audition room.

The puppy Zhou Ye walked over: "Brother Gu, can you do something about Sister Meng? She kept me chatting until midnight, and I almost missed this audition."

If Zhou Ye misses out, her signature role might fall to her arch-nemesis Zhang Jingyi.

The fiercest competition for the role of Wei Lai, the second female lead, came from these two actresses who were essentially sold as a package deal.

In the end, it was Hesong, founded by Li Bingbing, that won the role of Wei Lai in "Better Days," while Zhang Jingyi was narrowly eliminated.

For Zhang Jingyi, this may not be a bad thing. The stereotype brought about by Wei Lai made He Song try hard to redeem Zhou Ye from the impact of the stereotypical role.

In Gu Luojin's opinion, He Song is a typical example of worrying unnecessarily. For an artist, having a representative role is something many artists dream of.

Many actors spend their entire lives acting in TV dramas and movies, yet they never have a single role that truly defines them.

To put it bluntly, having a representative role means having the capital and opportunity to make a comeback when you're past your prime.

For example, Liu Meihan from "Balala the Fairies" and Wang Xinling, who became popular again from "Sisters Who Make Waves".

He Song deliberately tries to erase the impact of the character Wei Lai on Zhou Ye. Isn't that redundant?

The competition for resources between the two young actresses continues the rivalry between them for the top spot at Huayi Brothers back then.

Li Bingbing defeated Zhou Xun once again, and similarly, her female artist Zhou Ye defeated Zhou Xun's artist Zhang Jingyi.

The fateful rivalry between the two leading actresses has continued in the lives of the two younger actresses; they are truly a pair of sworn enemies.

There are more than one pair of rivals. Back then, there was also a pair of top actresses from the post-85 generation who were fierce rivals—Zhao Liying and Yang Mi. They fought fiercely, and their journey from debut to the top was full of disputes.

These two top-tier rivals, who have a long-standing feud, had their fans engage in a bloody battle over the same role as the second female lead in the movie "Jiangyuan Lane".

This drama has been delayed for so many years, and the two actors have been arguing for so many years, causing quite a stir.

The box office results were dismal, with only around 3.75 million yuan, marking a major setback for the two.

Looking back at these two actresses born in 85, they have many similarities.

For example, both of them are divorced, both have children, both have acted with each other's ex-husbands, and both were leading actresses in hit dramas.

These two people have similar experiences but different life trajectories, and Yang Mi and Zhao Liying even have a CP (couple) fanbase.

Their CP name is Yingmi's Corner, which is incomprehensible but respected. It just goes to show how daring netizens are to ship them.

But knocking on everything will only harm you.

Gu Luojin could only say that the allure of abundant resources was undeniable, always capable of sparking fierce battles.

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi haven't reached that level of popularity or fan base yet, so they're not likely to cause a huge uproar for now.

But they have one thing in common: Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye, these two beauties, also have fans who ship them as a couple, and he is one of them.
