Guide to Cultivating Female Stars: Shining Bright in the Spotlight.

On that sunny and breezy day, I, Shang Yueyu, arrived at the Xinghuo Film and Television Company. The staff of the company greeted me with warm smiles and said, "Hey, classmate! Welcome to our energetic and opportunity-filled family. We're really glad to have you join us as an artist under our company. Come on, fill in this entry information quickly." I smiled politely and humbly in response, "Hello, I'm Shang Yueyu. I'm a Sagittarius girl. I'm quite outgoing and optimistic. I usually like making friends and I'm always full of curiosity and the desire to explore new things." "Which school did you study professional acting in?" the staff member continued to ask, with a hint of curiosity and expectation in their eyes. "I studied at the Capital Film Academy. Every moment there was like a bright star, embedded in the vast starry sky of my memory. It was extremely fulfilling and unforgettable. I not only learned solid professional knowledge but also met a group of like-minded friends. We worked hard together for our dreams. Those days were truly the most precious wealth in my life." I slightly raised my head, with a look of deep nostalgia and attachment for campus life in my eyes. "How were your academic achievements in college?" the staff member asked curiously, seemingly wanting to know more about my potential and strength. I calmly took out my transcript, on which it clearly read: Acting Skills 184, Talents 197, Wisdom 184, Temperament 197, Physical Fitness 200, Fashion Sense 220. I gently stroked the transcript and said slowly, "During my school days, I kept working hard to improve my abilities in all aspects. Whether it was in the refinement of acting skills, the expansion of talents, the accumulation of wisdom, the cultivation of temperament, the exercise of physical fitness or the improvement of fashion taste, I didn't dare to slack off at all. I always tried my best to develop in an all-round way and strived to become a performing professional with excellent comprehensive qualities." After that, I filled out the entry materials and handed them to the staff member. I stretched myself vigorously as if I wanted to completely release all the tiredness and pressure in my body with this stretch. My posture was just like that of a lazy kitten stretching itself to the fullest in the afternoon. Back in the dormitory, my roommate and best friend Zhao Fanfan bounced over like a lively little rabbit. There was a curious glint in her eyes and she asked eagerly, "Yueyu, which company did you sign with after graduation?" My face broke into a bright smile and I replied happily and proudly, "I signed with Xinghuo Film and Television. You know, it's a really famous and powerful brokerage company in the entertainment industry! I'm really lucky and excited to be a member of it." Zhao Fanfan's eyes were full of admiration and envy. Her face flushed with excitement and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Wow! You're so amazing. You were always at the top of the major in every exam, with outstanding grades that others could hardly match. You also won the honorary title of outstanding graduate of the school. I knew you could definitely sign with an excellent company with your own strength. You'll surely become a big star in the entertainment industry and be the focus of everyone's attention in the future. I have full confidence in you and believe you can definitely achieve your dreams." I slightly lowered my head, with a shy blush on my face. I said with a hint of expectation and nervousness, "Hehe, I hope the company can assign me some good resources... Only in this way can I have more opportunities to show my talent and charm and go further and more steadily on this challenging and opportunity-filled path of acting. I know the road ahead is still long and requires my continuous efforts and hard work, but I'm already fully prepared to meet all the unknown challenges." Zhao Fanfan seemed to be suddenly inspired and said excitedly, "I remember Wu Yunru and Xie Fan are both artists of their company, right? Wu Yunru has such a strong domineering aura. Her stage presence is so powerful that it seems she can dominate the whole stage. She's a really famous top star in the entertainment industry! Every time I see her performance on the stage or on the screen, it feels like a shocking visual feast. Every look and every movement of hers is full of charm and appeal, which makes people deeply fascinated." I nodded repeatedly and said with deep agreement, "Yeah, she's really an excellent career-oriented female lead. Her independent, confident, tenacious and hardworking spirit is like a bright lamp, illuminating the path ahead for me. She's really worth learning from. I hope I can also make a name for myself in the entertainment industry like her in the future, prove myself with my works and my strength." Zhao Fanfan blinked her big, watery eyes that seemed to be able to speak and pleaded pitifully, "Yueyu, if you have a chance to meet Wu Yunru in the future, could you please ask for her autograph for me? I like her so much. She's my idol. If I can get her autograph, I'll be as happy as if I won the lottery. I'll be so excited that I won't be able to sleep all night and I'll even laugh in my dreams." I was touched by Zhao Fanfan's sincere look and readily agreed, "Sure, no problem! When I have the chance, I'll definitely get it for you. Don't worry. Since we're good friends, I'll definitely try my best to fulfill your little wish." At this moment, an unpleasant voicesuddenly broke the harmonious and cheerful atmosphere. Qiu Yaoyao walked over arrogantly with a look of disdain on her face. She was from the dormitory next door. Because she always ranked second in every exam, she was jokingly called the "perennial second place" in the acting department by everyone. She snorted through her nose and said, "Humph, what's so great about signing with a company? It's just an ordinary small company. In my eyes, it's not worth mentioning at all." Zhao Fanfan was straightforward and had a frank personality. Hearing this, she immediately retorted unceremoniously, "Oh, isn't this our 'perennial second place'? Why, are you jealous that she signed with a good company and your heart is out of balance so you start making sarcastic remarks? You look really ugly when you're being sour grapes." Qiu Yaoyao's face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato. She shouted furiously, "Zhao Fanfan! Shut up! Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me here!" Zhao Fanfan crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her head and responded defiantly, "My mouth is on my own body. I can say whatever I want. You can't control it! If you don't like listening, then please go away and don't be annoying here." Qiu Yaoyao curled her lips disdainfully and sneered, "Are you guys jealous of me? Well, not many students can sign with Huacheng Film and Television right after graduation. People like me are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. It's all because I'm so outstanding that you mediocre people can only look on enviously and helplessly." Zhao Fanfan immediately shot back, "Yeah, it's all because the boss of Huacheng Film and Television is your dear father. If it weren't for this special relationship, could you have signed in so smoothly? Don't think that others don't know your background. Stop deceiving yourself here." Qiu Yaoyao was so angry that she was almost mad and shouted loudly, "You're just being sour grapes! You don't understand my strength at all. I'll prove it to you with facts. I'll surely thrive in Huacheng Film and Television and become a superstar. Then you'll only be able to look up to me." I, who had been watching the two arguing, couldn't help but joked with a smile, "Qiu Yaoyao, you'd better find a place to hide quickly." Qiu Yaoyao looked confused and widened her eyes and asked, "Shang Yueyu, are you out of your mind? What am I hiding from? I haven't done anything wrong. Are you being influenced by Zhao Fanfan and joining her to bully me?" I slightly raised the corners of my mouth with a hint of teasing and said, "If you don't hide quickly, the aunt who collects garbage downstairs might come up to look for you soon."
