- Chapter 17.1 Shock! Another big guy is a fanBai Ziwei was really angry. He was a fiery spirit who couldn't stand being patient, how could he bear this now?The company's double standards were way too obvious. Weren't they afraid of being scolded to death by their own fans?Veins throbbing at his temples, his fighting spirit rose, waiting for either Shen Ci or Zhou Xing to start explaining. Whatever they said, he had decided he would fight back viciously and spray them to death!Shen Ci: "Um, can we swap our acts?"Bai Ziwei: "... Huh?"Shen Ci handed him some paperwork: "I'm sure I won't be able to do this, it would be a waste if I had it. I happen to like your act too."He turned to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Ge, is that okay?"Zhou Xing shrugged nonchalantly: "No problem, we respect the artist's wishes haha."Bai Ziwei: "...."A knot of fury lodged in his throat, neither rising nor falling. Suddenly feeling deflated, Bai Ziwei nearly choked on his own frustration. He looked down at the act he was ready to fight Shen Ci for and having received it so easily, suddenly he felt it wasn't all that special.Shen Ci nervously watched as Bai Ziwei's face turned the color of a pig's liver, thinking that he should be safe from any protagonist aura related turbulence now.The feeling of surrender was quite satisfying, he thought. He had avoided conflict and got a simple act suitable for himself-- it was like killing two birds with one stone!Shen .big coward. Ci gave himself a big thumbs-up in his mind.Bai Ziwei snorted and with nothing to say, finally had no choice but to leave in annoyance.Zhou Xing patted Shen Ci on the shoulder, looking at him admiringly: "We'll make some changes to this act, don't worry, we won't let you be at a disadvantage."Bai Ziwei's original act indeed didn't offer much exposure and it lacked topics for hype. But it was a general plan given by the artists' department, so Zhou Xing was just following orders.Everyone would prefer an act with better exposure, ability to showcase talent and topic attractiveness. Bai Ziwei's anger wasn't unreasonable.Zhou Xing had been prepared for a big showdown, even getting ready to sit back and enjoy the drama. But he hadn't expected Shen Ci to give up so generously.In order to avoid tension between artists from the same company, he had made such a huge sacrifice. Zhou Xing immediately revised his impression of this rumored spoiled "little young master", his original impression raising a bit significantly.Rumors, sure enough, are just that-- unreliable groundless talk.Shen Ci, however was a bit frightened: "Then, please don't make it too difficult.... I really can't dance."Zhou Xing burst out laughing with a haha: "Alright, we'll customize it to your ability."***Holding the folder, Shen Ci's next task was to coordinate the filming of a music video. The MV was for a hot pop singer from the same company's new song. As it was a youthful love song, the company had chosen Shen Ci and another young girl to film it together.This time the coordination went quite smoothly. In the end, Shen Ci was forced to take a group picture with the girls from the responsible team-- no pictures, no materials.After the group pictures were over, seeing that the tragedy of being surrounded and harassed by the receptionist girls from the Lu Group was about to happen again, Shen Ci seized the opportunity to escape.With a numb expression, he set off on the road back to Zhang Ge's office. Seeing that there weren't many people on the road, he took out the filming plan for the MV he had just received and started to look through it.A youthful love story, ah...During the filming of "Don't Say Farewell" last time, his seniors had criticized him for his lack of sincerity in his emotions, saying that it would be better to fall in love before filming again.The question was, where could he find love? From childhood to adulthood, he had never had a crush on any girl. Later, he didn't know when, but he suddenly became very fond of Shao Jinhuan and what he thought was a crush that lasted for several years was forced to come to an end.The feeling of liking Shao Jinhuan.... Shen Ci discovered blankly that he could no longer remember what it was like.Closing his eyes again, Lu Xiao's gentle smile unexpectedly floated into Shen Ci's mind.Shocked, Shen Ci shook his head fiercely. Mom, his brain must be broken!"Thud!"Caught off guard, Shen Ci bumped into something and fell backward.He scrambled to his feet quickly to check on the other party: "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, are you okay?"The person who had collided with Shen Ci had also fallen backwards. Rubbing his head, he was frowning at Shen Ci when his eyes suddenly widened."Shen Ci?! My god!"The person was a tall and handsome young man. With a trendy outfit and an earring, he looked like a cool guy, yet at this moment, he shouted in a dramatic manner like a young girl.Shen Ci froze, looking at the young man with an expressionless face as his eyes twinkled.He recognized this person as the singer of the MV he was about to participate in, Yang Ning.The reason Shen Ci could remember him was because his name, was completely inconsistent with his image. The Ning in Yang Ning's name (杨柠) literally means lemon 🍋 , so I'm assuming his happy hyper sort of personality is at complete odds with the meaning of his name (Ning in this case) as lemon is sometimes attributed with the word sour.Looking somewhat excited, he grabbed Shen Ci's arm, "I've finally met you in the company! The almanac said today was a good day to go out and sure enough, it wasn't wrong!"Shen Ci suddenly had a bad premonition.Yang Ning shouted, "I am a hardcore fan of yours! Look, look, my level in your fan group on Weibo is pretty high, right? I check in every day!""When my agent asked me to choose the male lead for my new song, the first person that came to my mind was you!""You must be here to get the MV materials, right? It would be much better to hear it directly from me! Come, come..."With a confused look on his face, Shen Ci was helped up by the chattering Yang Ning who organized the materials and brought him into the nearby studio.It turned out that not only was his name a stark contrast to his image, but his personality was also quite different!

Chapter 1.2 Shen Ci: I, this big flower vase, is making money!
The so-called protagonist law wasn’t a lie; Shen Ci followed Bai Ziwei for a while and ran into a familiar face.
The original male lead, Shao Jinhuan.
Shen Ci was inwardly crying a river, why did they have to bring the three of them together?!
Shao Jinhuan saw the two of them walking side by side harmoniously, his cold expression loosening slightly, obviously somewhat surprised.
“Brother Shao! What a coincidence! Let’s all go together!” Bai Ziwei’s eyes lit up, and even Shen Ci could hear his voice becoming more enthusiastic.
Shen Ci forced a laugh, “Ha ha… yeah, let’s go together, Brother Huan… Brother Shao.”
Shao Jinhuan frowned, his gaze focused on Shen Ci’s face. The atmosphere between the three suddenly became a bit cold.
Shen Ci felt a chill down his spine from his stare. In the original story, whenever he called Shao Jinhuan “Brother Huan”, Shao Jinhuan would clearly become unhappy, disliking the nickname.
Shen Ci didn’t want to cause trouble, so he quickly corrected himself.
Even though he had been using this affectionate nickname for more than a decade. When he was young, it was endearing, but as he grew up, it became somewhat distasteful.
Perhaps Shao Jinhuan hadn’t accepted the fact that his adoring follower was no longer fawning over him, and he quickly returned to normal. Shen Ci comforted himself.
Fortunately, Shao Jinhuan only stared for a moment before withdrawing his gaze, giving a low “Mm” and turning to lead the way.
Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, there were no more disturbances until they sat down at the recording site.
In this kind of talk show, the host sits on one side, and the guests sit on the other. Shen Ci sat down next to Bai Ziwei according to the rehearsal order, and looked at his phone’s memo, which had the questions he was supposed to answer and the standard answers Brother Zhang had written for him.
Brother Zhang, as the most senior agent of Yunxiao Entertainment, was very experienced in handling a vase like Shen Ci.
For this variety show, he planned Shen Ci’s route to be “surrounded by substance while being a vase, seizing power with cuteness.”
In the designed script, the host’s questions were mainly focused on the actors playing the male and female leads, and Shen Ci’s lines were few. The production team and the cast probably thought that it was best for him to quietly be a vase.
However, in his dream, Shen Ci’s mind was clouded, completely disregarding the arrangement, and was desperately trying to steal the spotlight, even openly attacking Bai Ziwei and the host on the spot. The variety show hadn’t even aired, and it was already being criticized by fans and trending online.
With everything ready, the moment the camera started rolling, Shen Ci silently chanted to himself.
Be a vase, be a vase, be a big vase!
The psychological suggestion was quite effective. During the half-hour recording, Shen Ci spoke very little. Instead, he put all his energy into sweetly smiling at the camera, and, under the guidance of the host, playfully interacting with the other actors. He was quite the professional vase.
Guo Ruoruo had a face full of adoration throughout the show, her maternal instincts overflowing: “Xiao Ci is so adorable! Did everyone want to take care of you during the shooting?”
Shen Ci was a bit confused because this question wasn’t in the script; it was Guo Ruoruo’s improvisation.
He pondered for a moment but was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
“He…”
“Xiao Ci…”
Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei spoke at the same time and stopped simultaneously. They exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Guo Ruoruo laughed and smoothed things over: “It seems my question has been answered. Movie Emperor Shao, who is famously reticent, is actually willing to answer a question. I’m quite flattered.”
Everyone on stage laughed, and the atmosphere became harmonious and lively again.
“Alright, we’ve asked you so many questions today; you must be exhausted. But for your beloved fans and friends, how about making a heart gesture for everyone?”
Under the host’s suggestion, the camera zoomed in on Shao Jinhuan, who was seated first.
Guo Ruoruo: “Movie Emperor Shao, smile please!”
Shen Ci peeked at the icy Shao Jinhuan, who reluctantly formed a stiff heart with his hands and forced a smile: “I hope everyone will support ‘Don’t Say Farewell.'”
Being forced to cater to the fans was deadly.
Shen Ci almost couldn’t hold back his laughter and tried his best to suppress it. When the camera focused on him, he suddenly burst into a brilliant smile: “Sisters, you must watch ‘Don’t Say Farewell’ multiple times! Then you can see me more often!”
In addition to the heart gesture, Shen Ci also added a highly skilled, charming wink.
Everyone on and off the stage was stunned. Guo Ruoruo hesitated for a while, holding back her urge to scream as a fan and smiled: “Xiao Ci is really enthusiastic! It would be great if everyone could be as passionate as him.”
Shen Ci smiled shyly, showing the appearance of an innocent young man.
Everyone present felt countless “What the hell?” moments in their hearts, suddenly understanding why Shen Ci, a small supporting actor who entered the group with resources and was still a newcomer, could become so popular and even sit on an equal footing with them, participating in such variety shows.
A smile that could infect everyone’s emotions wasn’t something an ordinary vase could achieve.
The variety show soon wrapped up, and after the host and crew members thanked each other, they went backstage in turn.
Shen Ci successfully avoided walking with Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei and returned to the backstage in high spirits.
The silly incidents that were supposed to happen in the original plot didn’t occur! Shen Ci was absolutely ecstatic, feeling the thrill of changing his fate.
Brother Zhang had been waiting for him and happily put his arm around Shen Ci’s shoulder as soon as he saw him.
“Good job, Ci Bao’er! No wonder Mr. Lu specially instructed us to promote you! Last night, I observed the stars and calculated that you have a destiny for great fame!”
Shen Ci: “Brother, it rained last night…”
