Chapter 582: Potential for Success

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Youyue did not only possess the power to bridge the gap between the two incompatible geniuses, Han Leng and Su Li. She could practically summon Zhao Hao and Ding Yunchong out of her pocket. These two tycoon celebrities had not been lying dormant. Their recent exploits had reignited their internet fa, drawing attention from far and wide. This fresh lease of fa was not unlike that from their days of old, before that ridiculous candid shot of Zhao Youyue sitting shotgun in Ding Yunchong’s car sullied their image, albeit montarily.

Even news of Zhao Youyue being Zhao Hao’s cousin-sister had gained much montum on its own. Most terrifyingly, everyone wanted to know more about the enigmatic Zhao Youyue, mainly when it concerned her background, even though Zhao Hao was wealthier than Zhao Youyue and may even have accomplished more. Ding Yunchong was to blad in part for this. He had caused shockwaves across the internet when he had claid to be chauffeuring Zhao Youyue and that he was the one trying to get into her good books, not vice-versa. Zhao Youyue’s apparent importance to Ding Yunchong could not be overstated any further.

Zhao Hao and Ding Yunchong were both highly involved in the entertainnt circle. With these two bigshots around, Zhao Youyue was convinced that she had the right to step into the entertainnt circle without any hindrances.

Zhao Youyue wanted to resurrect the fa of the deceased, legendary actress – Zhang Guorong. It was her ti to claim yet another ultimate card.

She had no qualms about lowering herself to seek help from the two n. They usually hung out together during the weekends. A tiny favor like this would not hurt.

When the two n were introduced to the late Zhang Guorong’s pictures, their eyes almost flew out of their sockets – and thus they started digging up more of her past, even going so far as to watch one of her mainstream films together. Mainstream, in this case, being a relative term, since she was so obscure, to begin with.

The two n had only assud that Zhao Youyue needed help boosting her own fa. She was not only pretty, she was an eloquent orator, an excellent gar. They could always count on her as the calvary whenever they found themselves in a pinch during their gaming escapades. Even so, when they learned of Zhang Guorong, an uncharacteristic pang of remorse struck the very cores of their hearts. For one to die at such a young age – had she even blossod completely?

Ding Yunchong was a highly active online critique when it ca to actors. Very few had escaped his harsh tongue, one of his most cynical statent being how female celebrities were nothing more than props scattered across red carpets.

Now, he felt the rare urge to repent. He launched the first volley on his Weibo – the start of the 21 shots that actress Zhang Guorong never got.

“I am not going to waste any more ti blabbering about the shenanigans beyond the red carpet. The truth will always stand the test of ti, and it does not require any periodic maintenance on my part. But hear now, on my 30th birthday, I got to know of a certain Zhang Guorong, courtesy of my dear friends. It did not take long before we got ourselves into a Zhang Guorong mainstream film marathon. The more I watched, the more I ca to the revelation that a Goddess had once descended upon this realm, a Goddess had once walked among us and the blind pagans that we were, we never knew of her. I truly want the world to know more of her, and if you’re keen, you could start with her films, as they were really good. Sadly, her candle was snuffed out all too soon. It is even more of a sha to know that she lived in once upon a ti when none of us were around. She would have made a terrific buddy.”

His post was lengthy, but in reality, Ding Yunchong had dictated the entire thing, while his secretary frantically reproduced his words in text. Attached to the post was a portrait shot of Zhang Guorong’s beautiful person. He had nothing to offer but endless praises for Zhang Guorong by shoving the best actress title upon her, beckoning other actresses to learn from her. It was not their acting that needed help, it was their personalities.

This generation was lacking in actors and actresses who threw their hearts and souls into improving themselves. This generation lacked the quality and the numbers.

That was how Ding Yunchong reclaid his title as the disciplinary committee of the entertainnt circle. This single post had caused tremors across forums and chat groups.

“Who is this Zhang Guorong? I’m a young’un, so do excuse not knowing her. I gotta say, judging from her photos, damn, she looked good!”

“Here’s all you need to know about Zhang Guorong... (Copypaste information from Wikipedia and Baidu)”

“I never expected Ah Chong to be a siscon [1] too. We may not share the sa tastes in imoutos, but you have good taste, I’ll give you that.”

“Buddies? What buddies exactly, Ding Yunchong? (Laughs)”

“Zhang Guorong is not an online celebrity. She’s a real-life goddess in the flesh! If fate had given her more ti, she would definitely be one of the greatest actresses in history!”

“She has transford my preferences. But it’s really hard to find anything about her; there isn’t even a complete biography around...”

...

As Ding Yunchong’s Weibo got to work, youngsters were slowly getting to know this legendary actress, Zhang Guorong. At the very least, so might dig around for her mainstream films. When presented with her imnse acting skills, they would then be driven to learn more about Zhang Guorong. Even if they did not imdiately get to it, curiosity in a highly pressurized compartnt would not take long to blow up.

Finally, Zhao Youyue joined in the discussions herself by throwing in the book, “Perfect Acting — A Lifeti’s Worth of Youth” and quickly followed with, “Firstly, let’s get this out of the water. I’m a siscon myself. I don’t care if you guys think I’m a pervert, all that you need to know is that I truly, truly respect this woman! Her looks, to her deanor, to her acting skills, they are all beyond compare! So I’d hereby like to share this to all who are present – ‘Perfect Acting — A Lifeti’s Worth of Youth’ written by another legend, Zeng Qinqin. It is by far the most complete retelling of Zhang Guorong’s life. Reading this has only leveled up my siscon stats. I would like to hereby thank Zeng Qinqin-sensei for gifting the world such a good read. Aspiring actors would learn from this, as would anyone else, if you’re interested in viewing your sister’s life from another angle.”

Zhao Youyue’s post quickly gained recognition. While everyone’s curiosity about Zhang Guorong had peaked, this book was like the perfect al for the starving masses. This was the ideal opportunity to advertise such a niche book.

Of course, this could no longer be classified as a self-help title, no thanks to the author going overboard.

Next, Zhao Youyue spent so money on advertisers to spread the word around, to praise this book and in extension of it, Zhang Guorong. This slamd a whole new perspective in faces of the curious young. This was a romanticized, different Zhang Guorong, but she was still loosely based on her real-life counterpart.

That was precisely why she had the potential to be another iconic card for Lady Zhao to use.

One day, everyone would be gobsmacked, when the legendary actress makes her return in another’s body!

Translation Notes:

[1] Siscon: mainly ans those who are in love with their sisters, but in this case its used to refer to Zhang Guorong since everyone calls her “sister/imouto”
