Wilderness Livestream: Other People Struggle to Survive While I Became Famous by Looking After a Cat

Chapter 162: What Luck

Translator: Zayn_

As soon as the news of the completion of ‘The Empress’ was released, ‘Changan Elegance’ also announced the completion of the show and also confirmed the broadcast time.

With such a tit-for-tat, no matter how slow an outsider was, they would have noticed something.

The media didn’t mind the commotion and even brought up the fact that Song Qingyou might have had a feud with Shen Xiyan during Man vs. Wild 3’s live broadcast.

After that, ‘The Immortal Demon’ crushed ‘Us’ during the National Day broadcast.

These two incidents were enough to prove that the relationship between the two of them was definitely very bad.

There were also media speculations that ‘Changan Elegance’ had been filmed against the film Empress.

Generally speaking, Shen Xiyan’s work in the past two years should have been devoted to movies. However, she suddenly accepted a TV series midway. The reason was obvious.

However, Shen Xiyan herself did not admit it.

Not only did she not admit it, she even explained it at the press conference of ’Changan Elegance’.

She expressed that she only liked the script of ‘Chang ’an Elegance’ and enjoyed the role she played. It had nothing to do with anyone else.

Chen Lan placed the washed strawberries on the table and complained,

“She’s just trying to trick the fans. Everyone knows that. Other than her fans, who would believe her nonsense?”

“But I really didn’t expect that Shen Xiyan didn’t try to make things difficult for you this time. She only increased the publicity efforts… 1 was already mentally prepared.”

“Maybe she changed her strategy and wants to ignore me.” Song Qingyou smiled.

The previous few times she had tried to cause trouble, she had lost both her fame and her fans, which had instead caused Song Qingyou’s popularity to rise steadily. Naturally, Shen Xiyan would not casually make a move again.

“If she doesn’t target you anymore, that would be great.”

Chen Lan did not want to offend the Shen family.

“Let’s not talk about this. Recently, Style has invited you over for a photo shoot. Will you agree?”

Style was a very famous magazine in the domestic fashion circle.

Usually, those who could appear on the cover of a magazine were the top celebrities in the country.

Even though she was only invited to take photos for the inner pages, Chen Lan was so excited that she almost agreed.

Fortunately, she remembered that Song Qingyou was very opinionated and didn’t like others to make decisions for her.

“Who is the cover character of this issue?” Song Qingyou asked.

“It seems to be Chen Yu.”

Chen Yu was also a top celebrity and ranked fifth in the country.

“He’s been quite popular for the past two years. If he’s on the cover, the sales of the magazine should be good.”

If the sales were good, that meant that Song Qingyou, who appeared on the inside page, could also benefit from it.

Song Qingyou had no reason to refuse, so she asked Chen Lan to give the magazine agency an affirmative answer.

At the beginning of June, the post-production of ’The Empress’ was completed and sent for review.

Song Qingyou thought that Shen Xiyan would do the same thing as last time and make it impossible for ‘The Empress’ to be broadcast on TV.

Unexpectedly, even after Xu Mingrui signed the contracts with several local stations, Shen Xiyan still had no reaction, as if she was determined to compete with Song Qingyou.

However, the television stations that broadcasted ‘Changan Elegance’ were usually those with good viewership ratings, while the television stations that bought the broadcasting rights of ‘The Empress’ were those with slightly lower viewership ratings.

This made Chen Lan complain that it was unfair.

Song Qingyou didn’t feel like she had suffered any losses.

Shen Xiyan had a higher status than her and had invested more in ‘Changan Elegance’. The outside world had always been very optimistic about it, so it was expected that those television stations would make a choice that made them the most profit.

Before the new drama was officially broadcasted, the filming date for Style had already arrived.

In fact, even if it was just the inner pages, not everyone could get on Style.

This time, inviting Song Qingyou was entirely the decision of the new editor-in-chief, Xu Qinian, who had gone against all odds.

On the surface, the people in the magazine agency could not have any objections to Chief Editor Xu’s decision.

But in private, many people were muttering, guessing that the editor-in-chief had either taken a fancy to Song Qingyou or that the two of them had an extraordinary relationship.

On the day of filming, everyone gossiped even more.

“Looking at the photos and videos, Song Qingyou’s looks are indeed one of the best in the industry. I wonder if she’s really that good-looking in person.”

“Make-up and photoshopped photos. Female celebrities nowadays can’t live without these two. I think she probably looks only 70 – 80% like the photos that have been published online.”

“That’s not bad.”

“Of course she’s not bad. Otherwise, why would the chief editor invite her to shoot the inside pages?”

“Yeah, yeah. When has our magazine ever invited someone with such a low status?”

“I heard that the cover character was originally Chen Yu, but when Chen Yu heard that the inside page was Song Qingyou, he didn’t come.”

“But someone even better came. If you ask me, Song Qingyou is really lucky.”

The few of them gathered together, and their chattering grew louder and louder.

Gu Xingchen, who was posing under the camera, could not help but glance over.

His gaze made the cameraman glare at them.

“What are you guys talking about?”

“Is this a place for gossip? Aren’t you going to work?”

The few of them hurriedly apologized, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The photographer smiled at Gu Xingchen. “Teacher Gu, let’s continue and take a few more photos. You can choose for yourself when the time comes.”

Gu Xingchen hummed in agreement. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The people who were gossiping saw him like this and thought that he had something against Song Qingyou, so he was unhappy.

Those who had a problem with Xu Qinian were gloating at his misfortune.

As long as Gu Xingchen said so, whether it was an inside page or not, even if they did not shoot an inside page for this issue, their magazine agency would have to agree!

While many people were thinking this, Song Qingyou arrived at the door.

The photographer’s assistant rushed in. “Brother Zheng, Song Qingyou is here.

Do you want me to take her to the dressing room or…”

“Why is she here at this time?”

The photographer looked down at his watch.

There were still 15 minutes left before the agreed filming time.

He stole a glance at Gu Xingchen and then deliberately shouted, “What is she doing here so early? Isn’t it her turn to shoot in ten minutes?”

“She came so early. Is she afraid that she won’t have the chance to shoot the inner pages? Let her wait outside!”

The assistant didn’t know why the cameraman suddenly got angry.

“Is Song Qingyou here?” Gu Xingchen, who had just finished changing his coat, asked.

“Yes, it’s her.”

The photographer nodded repeatedly. “But there’s still a long time before her photo shoot. She came too early. Teacher Gu, just continue. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Let her in,” Gu Xingchen said.

“Ah?”

The photographer was stunned.

“I said, let her in.”

Gu Xingchen remembered that there were no chairs outside.

Even if he didn’t know Song Qingyou, he wouldn’t let a girl wait outside.

However, no matter which industry it was, the phenomenon of praising the high and stepping on the low was everywhere. He was not surprised.

The photographer couldn’t tell if Gu Xingchen was just being polite or if he really wanted him to call her in, but in the end, he waved his hand and asked his assistant to call her in.

The people who had been discussing the possible relationship between Song Qingyou and the chief editor gathered together again, their eyes filled with excitement..
