Administrator Jiajia: Congratulations to the lovely "Spring Breeze Blows Again" for successfully answering the question, exceeding 90% of the total.
Then the administrator, Jiajia, added Lingxia to the "Lingxia True Fans" group.
When Ling Xia joined the group, she changed her ID to "Xia Xia wants to make a lot of money".
There are over 100 people in the group. That's quite a lot; it's impressive that someone could answer 50 questions correctly.
When Ling Xia entered the group with her newly changed name, she was greeted with a warm welcome from many people.
[Another new member has arrived! Hooray!]
Welcome, welcome! Another family member has arrived.
Lingxia said thank you.
There aren't many people in the group right now; it's a mix of people from all walks of life.
The administrator, Jiajia, is a college student, while the group owner is a programmer. He's the one who created the initial 50 questions for Xia.
Ling Xia thus remained hidden among the fans.
……
The next day, Lingxia, who hadn't slept for more than a few hours, kept yawning as she listened to Sister Yang talk about the upcoming itinerary.
When told that an advertisement had approached them to film.
Xia was surprised; she hadn't expected to be able to get advertising deals.
Thinking about whether she had already become famous, she saw that the advertising fees were really high, much higher than the combined fees for recording variety shows and filming web dramas.
One can't help but wonder which advertising company has such keen insight.
"Yu Mama Fried Chicken, a nationwide chain." When Sister Zhao received the call from the advertising company yesterday, she was also confused. After hanging up the phone, she sighed that her artist had really become famous.
But Ling Xia's rise to fame has been too rapid; scandals are likely to start soon. I need to prepare in advance.
It seems that Yu Mama Fried Chicken was brought in because of the mukbang (eating broadcast) program. "Can I have some fried chicken for free?" Xia asked expectantly.
"Sure, after eating fried chicken, I'll go to the gym and run 10 kilometers."
I shouldn't have asked; it was all a trap.
At Lingxia's team's request, the manufacturer agreed that Lingxia and her group could arrive early to visit the food processing plant.
Ling Xia didn't want the fried chicken she ate to be substandard by national food safety standards, so she felt more at ease going to check it herself.
A few hours later, they arrived in the city where the food processing plant was located, where someone was already waiting to receive Ling Xia.
On the first day, the staff led Lingxia's team to disinfect themselves and put on full protective gear, including work clothes, gloves, and shoes, before touring the food processing plant. The process included 10 steps: food procurement, warehousing and inspection, food storage, preliminary processing and cutting, cooking, cooling, raw and cold food processing, packaging, and sales. Lingxia personally made several servings of fried chicken, which were delicious, and the group ate and drank their fill.
Filming began the next day and went smoothly. The director, Zhang Heng, was a middle-aged man with glasses and a ponytail. He had a very artistic air about him.
When the fried chicken shop owner saw the promotional video featuring Zhang Heng showcasing beautiful scenery, he immediately decided to hire him to film a fried chicken commercial.
When Zhang Heng first approached them, he vehemently disagreed, arguing that these clients had no bottom line and would do whatever came to mind.
When he approached the fried chicken company a second time, Zhang Heng hesitated. His team told him that the budget for the art film they wanted to shoot was insufficient and they needed to secure sponsorship. Knowing that art films didn't do well at the box office, Zhang Heng angrily told the fried chicken company that he needed more money to make the film.
The manufacturer made a phone call to inform the boss, who then slammed his fist on the table and decided it was okay. In short, Director Zhang Heng felt that he had been insulted by money.
During the filming of Lingxia, director Zhang Heng kept smiling and nodding behind the camera, thinking that the artist's performance was really good. Even he, who doesn't like fried food, found it very appetizing. No wonder she is a food vlogger.
When Zhang Heng decided he wanted to shoot a fried chicken commercial, he started looking for actors, but he just couldn't find the right feeling.
One day, on his way to work, the director saw a little girl watching a mukbang video. He was immediately captivated by the woman eating fried chicken.
Upon returning to the company, they notified the staff to locate her immediately.
In the scene, Ling Xia sits in Yu Mama's Fried Chicken shop, picks up a fried chicken, takes a bite, and finds it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with plump and juicy meat that makes one's mouth water. The fried chicken is fried to a golden brown, and its aroma fills the air, satisfying both the taste buds and the sense of smell.
Zhang Heng watched Ling Xia devour a whole fried chicken in just a few bites and felt incredibly satisfied. Other female celebrities, in order to maintain their figures, would eat a bite and then spit it out during commercial shoots—such a waste of food! Compared to that, Ling Xia seemed so responsible.
In my excitement, I sent the behind-the-scenes footage of Lingxia's shoot to a group chat. The group consisted of directors, each with their own network of connections.
Directors have their own networks, artists have their own networks, and cinematographers have their own networks.
Zhang Heng: Look at the advertising art I shot today; it's the pinnacle of my work in recent years.
A moment later, someone named "I'm One Step Closer to the Peak" said: "It's mainly because that actor's performance was good, what does that have to do with you?"
Pengcheng Wanli: Who is this actress? Her performance is really good @Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng: Her name is Ling Xia. I'll send you a copy of her information.
Pengcheng Wanli: Haha, sure.
Ling Xia later learned that she was discovered and chosen for the role of the courtesan because of a fried chicken commercial. She was full of questions, as it was quite a leap. She asked the director what the reason was. The director smiled and said, "Maybe it's because she's so beautiful."
The filming ended in one day, and after spending the night there, Ling Xia flew back to the company.
Ling Xia pulled her suitcase out and saw that the fast lane was crowded with people, with screams and shouts coming from time to time.
It's probably because there was a celebrity on the same flight, and fans happened to be there to greet them.
Lingxia heard the name being shouted by the fans; it was that of a very popular male idol recently.
As I walked along with Sister Zhao, I couldn't help but wonder when I would have so many fans.
Perhaps because there were so many fans, many passersby were jostled and knocked over. Someone pushed a stylish woman next to them, and she almost fell. Xia quickly grabbed the stylish woman.
Wearing a long trench coat and a scarf, and perhaps sunglasses because there were too many people, the woman's beauty could not be hidden even though she was completely covered up.
The fashionable woman gasped in surprise, prompting Xia to quickly grab the woman's waist. It had to be very slender. Their eyes met, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
The fashionable woman's eyes lit up when she saw Ling Xia. "What a beautiful girl!" she exclaimed. "Thank you, young lady."
Listening to that gentle female voice, it felt like she was a few years older than me. "You're welcome, sister, be careful."
After the beautiful older sister steadied herself, Ling Xia loosened her slender waist.
When the beautiful woman heard Ling Xia call her "sister," she immediately burst out laughing. "My family is picking me up today. Do you need a ride?" she said, wanting to introduce the girl to her son.
Ling Xia waved goodbye and said, "Thank you, sister, but unfortunately, the company car has already arrived, so I'll have to go now."
The beautiful woman watched Ling Xia leave, then tightened her loose scarf and headed towards the parking lot.
A fan with a camera wanted to film his idol, but was delayed by traffic and ended up at the back of the airport.
