2416 Twins

“Fourth place, Zheng Lida!

“Fifth place, Li Qizhi.

“Sixth place, Xinyue!

Those who obtained higher rankings high-fived each other to encourage each other.

Since Xinyue had gotten sixth place, she could stay.

But this time, she didn’t smile.

Because the person whose name had not been called out was Luo Lin.

Even though she knew that Luo Lin couldn’t have gotten the last place, Xinyue couldn’t produce any evidence or defend him.

The production team seemed to be very fair. They let the experienced actor get first place and Tian Ke, who had always been calm, get second place.

The previous rankings were very convincing. Naturally, no one would doubt the rankings this time just because actors who hadn’t fully convinced the public didn’t appear on them.

Besides, Luo Lin was an independent artiste. No one would speak up for him because there was no need. There was no benefit to doing so. They would only be getting themselves into more trouble.

Luo Lin still maintained a decent smile on his face, hiding his disappointment well.

“Luo Lin, it’s really a pity that you’ve been eliminated. However, everyone has seen your outstanding performance during this period of time. I believe that this journey will also become a precious a.s.set in your life in the future. I hope your development will get better and better in the future,” the emcee said. “It’s a pity that we have to say goodbye here.”

“I’m very happy to be able to get to where I am today. I’m also honored to have learned so much from all the seniors. I’m very happy and grateful. Thank you, everyone.” Luo Lin was magnanimous, and his smile was still bright.

Xinyue’s heart ached. She suddenly understood the things her family said before. In this industry, the weak were stepped on and the high and mighty were wors.h.i.+ped.

Qiao Weiyang stood up.

Luo Lin seemed to have guessed what she was going to do. He walked up to Qiao Weiyang and said, “Sister Weiyang, I’m especially grateful for your care during this recording. I’m really grateful. It’s fine to have some difficulties in life. I’ll overcome them.”

The meaning behind his words was clear. There was no need for Qiao Weiyang to fight for anything for him.

So what if she fought for him this time?

Zhang Xi’s family was the one who invested in this show. The others were just here to cooperate with her. It was good enough to be able to gain some popularity through this show. If not, it was still normal.

Seeing him like this suddenly made Qiao Weiyang feel a lot of emotions.

“Okay, goodbye.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t say anything else.

Luo Lin packed his things and was led out by the staff.

The emcee said something else before everyone left.

Xinyue ran over to see Luo Lin off. Luo Lin smiled and said, “It’s okay. Even without this show, I still have other jobs. You have to know that even if I’m only acting in lousy online dramas, I’m still the male lead, no?”

Xinyue was amused by him. “That’s true. You’re so tall, handsome, and good-looking. If you want to play a supporting role, who would dare to play the protagonist? Won’t they fall into an existential crisis?”

“Contact me if anything happens.” Luo Lin waved her cell phone. “You have my WeChat, right?”

“Yup, I do.”

“If there are any opportunities in the future and you’re free, can I get you to join onboard?”

“Sure, I’d appreciate it.”

“I’m leaving now. Bye.”

“Bye.” Xinyue watched him get into the car, which soon drove away. All of a sudden, she could not be happy anymore.

Qiao Weiyang walked to her side and watched Luo Lin’s car drive away with Xinyue.

Xinyue choked a little. “This show only gave Luo Lin a little screen time. He had so many lines, but the final cut was so messed up. Aren’t they deliberately eliminating him?”

“The scale of this show is only so big. It’s a good thing that he left. He can find better opportunities.”

“I don’t believe it. He’s been working for four or five years, but none of his dramas have become popular. Which popular person right now is as good-looking as him?” For the first time, Xinyue doubted her life.

Her own dramas hadn’t been broadcasted, but she was already doubting everything.

“Have you watched his dramas?”

“I’ve watched them. They’re all completed,” Xinyue said.

Qiao Weiyang asked, “What do you think of the production standards? How are the scripts?”

“Uhh…” Xinyue thought for a long time. “…They’re quite crude. But the amazing thing is that they’re actually quite popular in niche groups. I heard that the dramas even earned some money, but it’s a pity that they can’t be broadcasted on a big platform.”

“He needs some help to climb up the ladder. If he has the strength, then it just depends on whether he can get any good resources later. You have to believe that he’s skilled enough. He just lacks a good opportunity.”

Xinyue immediately nodded. “Yes, that’s what I think too.”

…

On Zhang Xi’s side, in order to protect Zheng Lida, she asked the judges to give Luo Lin the lowest score and kick him out.

Zheng Lida was saved, and Zhang Xi also got a good opportunity to sign Luo Lin.

“Contact Luo Lin. Let’s sign him,” Zhang Xi said.

During this period of time, Luo Lin had given everyone around him a good impression. His face was indeed very recognizable and stunningly handsome.

His qualifications were much better than Zheng Lida’s.

Zhang Xi had long heard that Luo Lin was an individual with a clean background. The entertainment industry was especially short of such male celebrities.

Take herself as an example. The two dramas that she previously filmed could not be broadcasted because of the two male leads. After filming, one of them went out with an underage fan and was beaten up.

One spouted nonsense on the internet and deliberately slandered celebrities from the past. He was collectively boycotted by all parties.

Her family had spent a lot of effort, but they could not eliminate the impact of these two incidents. Even now, the two dramas with huge investments were still suppressed and could not be broadcasted.

As for Luo Lin, his private life was clean. Whether it was his family background or his upbringing, they were all top-notch.

If such a man worked with her in a new production, at least the work wouldn’t be suppressed.

Zhang Xi was really afraid of being suppressed.

“Alright. But we just got him eliminated and now we want to sign him? We have to give him some benefits, right?” the manager said. “Give me a definite answer and I’ll go look for him.”

“I can guarantee that he’ll be the male lead of the next drama and I’ll have him come back to I Am An Actor, where he’ll get second place.”

The manager could hear her sincerity. Offering the male lead role of the next drama was indeed generous!

The manager went to carry out the order, while Zhang Xi went to the cafeteria to eat.

There was a cafeteria in the production team. Everyone was free to choose whether they wanted to eat here or not.

Zhang Xi usually ate specially delivered meals and had never gone to the cafeteria.

However, she would occasionally appear when the cameras were rolling.

The outside world said that she was a celebrity who relied on money to get her resources and that she could not become famous. How could she not want to remove this label?
