Lin Che got in the car and soon arrived at the film set. The director saw Lin Che and went to greet her personally. He was extremely polite to Lin Che and Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin went to settle the work while Lin Che went through the script with the director. They were discussing the activity for the day when someone called out from behind, "Lin Che, I didn't think we would meet again so soon."
Lin Che turned around and saw that the person approaching was her competitor for the Best Newcomer Award, Wang Qingchu.
Lin Che laughed dryly and watched her approach. There were five or six assistants behind her, making her look formidable.
"I told Director that I have an old friend here and we must make a cameo together. We can't let those old reality TV foxes take our screen time."
It turned out that she was the old friend...
Lin Che laughed with displeasure, "No way, I think friendship is strong on this show. Everyone is here to have fun, not to steal screen time and whatnot."
Wang Qingchu looked at her, revealing an unnatural smile.
It was not easy to get into such a popular show. How could anyone just be here for fun?
She was already prepared and fired up. This time, she had to stand out from everyone else.
Seeing Lin Che acting all innocent, Wang Qingchu who originally wanted to collaborate with her, decided that it was better not to. Fortunately, she was not the only one here.
At this moment, another actress arrived.
"Director, I'm here. Sorry, there was heavy traffic on the road. I'm not late, right?" The voice made a few heads turn. It was another new female actress called Qin Wanwan. She rose to fame from a show about the modern workplace and previously played many supporting roles, so Lin Che recognized her. However, this was the first time they met.
They shook hands and greeted each other.
"Lin Che, I've watched your drama; it's so good that I keep chasing it."
"I can say the same about you. You're so popular, " the two of them exchanged courteous words. Wang Qingchu quickly interrupted them and greeted her, saying the same things that Lin Che did. She also wanted Qin Wanwan to be on her side, but Qin Wanwan only smiled awkwardly and turned back to talk to Lin Che.
"I'm so nervous; this is my first time."
"It's my first time as well, " Lin Che replied.
She said, "But just be yourself. Even if you don't stand out in your first time, you can just take it as an experience."
"Yes."
After a while, the filming was starting.
The whole crew was ready. The three new actresses were all unique. This reality show began with a game and the setting for the game was interesting and challenging.
Lin Che actually didn't know how to go about it and she did not know what to say. She could not seem to keep up with the show, but Qin Wanwan seemed to be doing well, despite claiming that she was nervous. She got along well with some of the main cast and found the laughing points. She seemed to be the one grabbing attention and Lin Che seemed much duller in comparison.
When Qin Wanwan completed her tasks and had nothing else to do, she would come and help Lin Che. For that, Lin Che was very grateful to her.
Wang Qingchu, on the other hand, was extremely detestable. She exclaimed at one point and then messed something up at another point. She could not do things right and kept sticking to one of the most famous actors. Everyone was speechless from watching her.
She grabbed a lot of attention but it annoyed everybody there.
During the break, Lin Che sat in the car with the Big Brother of the show. Driving at the front, he looked and smiled at her, "You look like you haven't slept enough yet. Your eyebags are showing."
Lin Che said quietly, "Knowing that I was joining a reality show scared me and I couldn't sleep the entire night. If I get eliminated early on, my agent is going to kill me. It was expensive to get in this."
"Hahaha, okay. We'll protect you and definitely not let you be eliminated so soon."
"Really? Thank you so much. If I win, I will give all of this week's profits to you."
"Haha, I'll hold you up to it."
"Really, I mean it!"
Lin Che did not have any big expression on her face. She could only follow at the back, lightly brushing herself. She did not care so much afterward; she could not be bothered to tidy herself again. She sat there in a daze, not even knowing if her makeup had worn off.
Qin Wanwan saw that Lin Che was sitting alone and especially went to comfort her.
"Why don't you go over? Why are you sitting here?"
Lin Che replied, "I don't know what to say. You guys look like you're playing well."
"Oh, you. Your acting is not bad; you just don't know how to find opportunities for yourself."
Lin Che said bashfully, "Yes, I don't know how to do such things."
Qin Wanwan said, "Look, Wang Qingchu is trying so hard."
Lin Che watched Wang Qingchu who was still mingling and trying to find a place for herself, "This is also a matter of talent. I don't think I'm talented in this aspect. I can only rely on acting properly."
Qin Wanwan could only look at her comfortingly, "Alright, you pitiful doll."
They were shooting for two consecutive days. Lin Che finished filming for one day, boarded the plane, and headed to the next location with everybody.
On the plane, Yu Minmin followed behind. A few guests were seated in first class while the rest sat in economy. Yu Minmin came over to pass some water to Lin Che. Looking at her defeated expression, Yu Minmin quietly said, "Don't worry too much."
Lin Che leaned on the seat and talked to Yu Minmin, "The two of them have unique positive points. Ultimately, I'm going to be the least bright one."
Yu Minmin said, "Let's compare your works. Reality shows are just the cherry on top, so it won't affect you that greatly."
Lin Che heard Yu Minmin say this and could only reply apologetically, "I just feel ashamed since you guys gave me such a good program."
Yu Minmin said, "There's no need for that. Don't worry. There'll be plenty more of such programs. As long as you're popular, everybody will vie for you to take part. Also, your performance is not that bad."
"Okay..."
"Alright. Keep sulking like that and your face is going to swell up like a loaf of bread tomorrow. Go to sleep and don't drink too much water. You still need to film in the morning."
That was easier said than done. Lin Che went back, still in a bad mood. Thus, she drank quite a bit in the hotel.
At night, Gu Jingze called Lin Che and asked, "How many days are you filming?"
Lin Che picked up the call. She was not in a good mood, "I still have one day tomorrow and then it depends on how the filming goes. If it's not good, we'll probably need another day."
Gu Jingze could hear that something was not right, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Lin Che sighed, thinking there was no big deal in telling Gu Jingze all these things.
"Yes, I feel like I'm not performing well. You're always saying that I'm stupid. Tell me. Am I really that stupid? Is that why I can't grab any screen time?"
Gu Jingze heard and laughed. He then said, "That is true; you are really very stupid."
"Hey!"
Who comforted others the way he did?
