Lin Zhiyi, a nobody of a celebrity, is mocked across the internet as “a pretty airhead and a red-carpet hanger-on.” Then she stuns everyone at an international film festival and takes home the Best Actress award!
Paparazzi follow her into a hotel after an all-night shoot, and the trending topic explodes: “Did this pretty face sleep her way to the top?”
Then a respected industry account settles the matter once and for all: “We invested in her project. Even movie stars couldn’t get the script, but she landed the role after a single audition!”
The whole internet: ???
Even more unbelievable, Lu Jiming, the mysterious investor said to avoid women and possess unfathomable connections in high finance, shows up in person on her set to block unwanted offers, secure her resources, and negotiate her contracts. He even announces in front of everyone:
“She’s the only artist I’ve ever signed.”
The whole industry erupts: “Mr. Lu has fallen for real?!”
Lin Zhiyi remains unfazed. “Romance can wait. First, I’m winning awards.”
But someone blocks her path to the awards ceremony, leans down, and whispers in her ear: “If you don’t kiss me, I won’t invest in your next movie.”
