When will I be the queen

Chapter 473 Live Broadcast
“You’re a genius,” Mu Lian blurted out.

Cai Cai blushed. "Oh dear, that's so exaggerated. No, no, I'm just a good actress."

The period wasn't very humble either.

Hahaha, Cai Cai is such a genuine person!

[You're a genius! Others: No, no, it's the result of everyone's hard work. Cai Cai: Half and half, third in the world.]

Don't be polite with Cai Cai, and don't say anything fake or untrue, because she will really take it seriously.

Is Cai Cai particularly easy to fool?

No, I feel that Cai Cai is very perceptive and not easily fooled.

[Seriously, this "honest" persona has been overused in the industry, and people still believe it.]

I really admire Cai Cai's acting skills, because she can portray a fool so naturally.

Where did these haters come from?

Fans of the girl group performing on stage said that Cai Cai stole their child's attention.

[It's ridiculous that someone with low popularity blames other celebrities for having high popularity.]

[Gem Girl's fans are all young and immature, they'll attack anyone they can get their hands on.]

[Bite on Cai Cai is like biting a steel plate.]

[Before she even had time to tend to the vegetable garden, a casual fan had already topped up the Gem Girl's account.]

Who is the Gem Girl?

[Another battle between females?]

[Look closely, Cai Cai was doing a perfectly good live stream here, but she was dragged into this as a scapegoat, and as a result, she got scolded by a certain group's fans.]

[Stop using the term "female competition" to distort the nature of competition among women.]

[Men have competition too!]

[But the idea of ​​male competition doesn't sound as bad as female competition, does it? Or is there a subconscious societal tendency to demonize women?]

[What is this all about? Cai Cai cried after talking to Mu Lian, and nobody cares?]

Cai Cai was completely bewildered. Just now, Mu Lian mentioned that it was difficult for him to break out of character, otherwise he wouldn't have developed feelings for the character so easily. So he asked Cai Cai how to break out of character quickly.

"It's impossible to do it quickly. Every emotion has a beginning, a process, an end, and a development, and even within each development, there is further development. Emotions are very long-lasting feelings. They may come suddenly, but they can never be gone in an instant. You can't just yell 'cut' and be out of character immediately. In my experience, that's impossible."

Cai Cai had also had this thought. "When I was filming before, in order not to delay the filming and to appear very professional, I really hoped that I could quickly get into character and then quickly get out of character for the next scene. To be honest, I did that. But it really felt like I was burning myself out, which was extremely tiring, as if I could really feel my life force draining away. The director at the time was Jones, who was a very tolerant director."

It was during the filming of "Rouge Road." That was Cai Cai's return to the screen, and the first role she landed on her own merits. It marked the true beginning of her acting career, so she spent every day thinking about how to act and how to act well. Looking back now, she was incredibly lucky to have met such a tolerant and kind director like Jones. Of course, Cai Cai always received Jones's approval after each performance, but upon watching the final cut, many scenes where Jones applauded and praised her on set were completely cut. Tolerant, kind, and easy to talk to, he was also a genuine director.
"He allowed me to act silly, but when he noticed that my condition was getting worse, he firmly told me to stop and rest. He made me rest completely and wouldn't even let me appear on set. At the time, I thought I hadn't acted well and would be replaced." Although she knew that the possibility was low, this panic really lingered in Cai Cai's mind at the time.

Even though Mu Lian was prepared for Cai Cai to answer her questions honestly and sincerely, she genuinely didn't expect Cai Cai to be so sincere and honest, sharing such detailed, even obviously painful, and importantly, things that could have a negative impact on an actor. Yes, sharing it all with him alone. Mu Lian could feel that Cai Cai was genuinely sharing her experience with him; it wasn't instruction, it was sharing, pure sharing. Cai Cai didn't even care what this would bring her, or perhaps she herself was completely unaware of it.
Looking at Boss Mei offstage, Mu Lian noticed he was simply gazing tenderly at Cai Cai, offering no attempt to stop her. Even the director was frequently glancing at Boss Mei.
Mu Lian stopped being distracted and carefully noted down Cai Cai's words, also knowing who the director Jones that Cai Cai mentioned was.

"Then I realized that actors should only think about the character; everything else outside of acting shouldn't be on their minds. The more you try to appear professional, the less professional you actually become. Just focus on acting. Thinking too much will really affect your acting. It's the same with getting out of character. If you're thinking about how to get out of character before you've even started acting, it will definitely affect your ability to get into character. Some things can be prepared for, and some things don't need to be prepared for. I think acting is like that. Just push yourself, and when the moment comes, you can worry about it."

Cai Cai was embarrassed to admit that thinking about how to break free from a role before getting into character was just overthinking and making things difficult for herself, because she had made that mistake herself. "In my own experience," she said, "I set up a kind of safety word for myself to remind myself when it's time to break free from the role. I've tried to suppress the character's emotions when the director yells 'cut,' but sometimes they call my character's name on set, as if the moment I step onto the set, I become the character, and I'm no longer Cai Cai. Because the set doesn't need Cai Cai's presence."

"This kind of thinking is very bad for an actor's mental health. If you have this kind of thought, you must pay attention to it. I understand that I can't leave the key points that take me out of character to others; I have to remind myself myself. So I designed the key points to take me out of character based on the character's personality and way of doing things. Generally speaking, it's doing things that the character would never do, saying things that the character would never say. For example, in the Kunlun crew, in order to control my emotions, I would wear my costume and sing French opera arias in front of the mirror." French opera stories are impossible in the fantasy universe.
"..." Kunlun is an epic masterpiece directed by the renowned director Fang Shaoning. Mu Lian didn't dare to reply, but indicated that she understood. Cai Cai's method was indeed something he hadn't considered; he had only thought of doing the opposite of what he felt emotionally. Mainly, on set, he didn't dare to completely break character; not being able to do it was one thing, not being able to break character was the real issue. He hadn't expected that Cai Cai would dare to do this on set and that the director would allow it.
The director signaled that time was almost up. Although Mu Lian had a mishap at the beginning, she had basically completed the task of hosting the live broadcast satisfactorily because she had Cai Cai say a lot of meaningful things that could be repeatedly broadcast. Without Cai Cai appearing on screen, there would be very few scenes that could be repeatedly broadcast. Fortunately, every time Cai Cai appeared, it was a meaningful appearance and effective screen time.

Finally, Mu Lian asked Cai Cai if she had anything else she wanted to say to the audience through the beautiful live broadcast.

Cai Cai had a sudden inspiration: "Can I check the comments first?" To see what the audience wanted to know.

Mei Zhang stopped the director from handing him his phone and offered it to him himself. He had set up many blocked words on his phone, which the director's phone certainly hadn't. The director grinned apologetically, showing no embarrassment at being exposed, but still feeling a little guilty. However, he actually had his own blocked words on his phone, just to avoid any accidents if the artist wanted to see the comments; after all, he wouldn't dare to trick the artist. It's just that his blocked words were definitely not as numerous as those set up by the artist. He certainly wouldn't dare to trick Cai Cai.
Cai Cai was unaware of all this. She took the phone and saw the screen was filled with praise. Indeed, the live stream comment section was currently flooded with praise for Cai Cai, along with numerous declarations of love. Even without censorship, negative comments would be buried.

"Thank you so much for praising me." Cai Cai was extremely proud, her beauty and happiness radiating from her eyes and brows.

A beautiful woman should be this generous and happy when praised.

This is how a true beauty should react when praised.

[Those ugly women still try to compete in beauty, and after receiving praise, they feign humility while actually being smug. Compared to Cai Cai, the difference in beauty and ugliness is immediately apparent.]

Don't say things like that and make Cai Cai hate someone!

Beautiful women should be confident and assertive like this.

There are so many good-looking but insecure people in the entertainment industry. Hopefully, they can all learn from Cai Cai.

[For the first time, I realized that being beautiful and aware of it is more endearing than being beautiful and unaware of it.]

Those in the industry who are beautiful but unaware of it are all faking it.

【Cai Cai is so cute, how can she be so adorable?】

Praise, or rather, compliments, are something anyone who's received knows. One person praising you can make you dizzy with their own flattery, but imagine millions of people praising you at the same time! The effect would be incredible. Even a turtle that's eaten a weight would be blown away by the wind, let alone Cai Cai, who's the kind of person who beams at the slightest bit of praise.
Completely forgot about ending the live stream, and just spammed the screen with compliments, feeling incredibly smug. You could practically see its wings flapping on its back.
It's common for celebrities to get carried away by compliments, but for someone like Cai Cai to be so indulgent is truly out of control.
The immortal, fiddling with his phone, gestured for Mei Zhang to pull Cai Cai away. This could be called genuine personality, but it's unprofessional. If you waste too much time here, you're wasting the time of the artists who come after you. Huamei is such a huge platform; artists from all over the world are here. Many artists have prepared for a long time to get a chance to perform on Huamei. By delaying your performance just because you're popular and have a high status, you're sacrificing the performance opportunities of one or even several other artists. This is tantamount to ruining someone's future.

Huamei is currently in a position to pamper and indulge you because you're popular, even seeming pleased with your free-spirited behavior. They don't mind you wasting their time and completely disregard the future arrangements for other artists. But once you're no longer popular and your career declines, this will be irrefutable evidence of your diva-like behavior and bullying of other artists at Huamei.

These are all pitfalls that the immortal lords have encountered.

Mei Zhang wasn't unaware of all this, but his only concern for Cai Cai was her happiness. He used to hide the praise and adulation she received from her, fearing she might become arrogant and unable to handle the negative attention. Now, he wasn't so worried, because Cai Cai was much stronger than he thought. Besides, there was already a lot of negative press about Cai Cai's diva-like behavior, stemming from her refusal to attend business events—a tactic deliberately spread by many brands, as if the more they talked about it, the more guilty Cai Cai would feel if she accepted their business invitations.
The key point is that Cai Cai's job is acting. Whether he becomes famous or not, or what to do if he doesn't, is not Cai Cai's concern; that's the meaning of his existence. Besides, the delay wasn't that long, unlike those celebrities who deliberately extended their live streams in the past.

Mu Lian, after all, had a conscience. Despite being scolded, she carefully reminded Cai Cai that time was almost up.
Cai Cai quickly pursed her lips, her smile too wide. "It's time. I want to see what the audience wants to know, so let's have some interaction. You can praise me later."

As Cai Cai spoke, the comments section erupted with all sorts of questions, accompanied by countless praises.

Cai Cai chose a question to answer because the person who asked it had a funny username: "This viewer, whose username is 'Hello, what am I eating today?', asked, 'What am I eating today?'" Haha, "How about hot pot? I really want hot pot today, something warm and comforting." It wasn't actually cold, but she could feel the cool air as she breathed, so Cai Cai really wanted hot pot. However, she was very careful in her answer, knowing that others might not share her desire. But anyone could see her longing for hot pot.
【OK】

【OK】

【OK】

I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you say.

I'll eat whatever you want to eat.

Okay, let's have hot pot!

The person who asked the question did reply well, but their response was overshadowed by the other comments. Naturally, some felt that Cai Cai was being cunning by choosing this particular question to answer out of so many others, and many criticized her for being pretentious. However, most people were quite perceptive, realizing she was craving hotpot and worried she might get cold. They left comments for Mei Zhang, Fang Qiao, and even the Immortal Lord.

[Let's take her out for hot pot!] [Don't let Cai Cai get cold!!]

Mei Zhang entered the frame, gave an OK sign to the camera, and then helped Cai Cai offstage. Mu Lian said one more thing and followed Cai Cai offstage as well. The director wanted to interject by inviting Cai Cai to host the next live broadcast, but didn't have time; he could only catch up with Cai Cai to see her off, repeatedly thanking her for saving the day.

Cai Cai had no idea that she would be hosting the next live broadcast, so she just followed Mei Zhang. She felt a little embarrassed by the director's politeness, because she felt that her live broadcast hadn't been very effective.

The live stream director stopped only after entering the inner area. He needed to go back and reorganize all the content from the live stream, have the post-production team add subtitles and effects, and then pin it to the top of the Huamei Live Relay compilation. To watch it, you'd need at least three tiers of VIP.
Cai Cai rarely has the opportunity to interact with her peers, and she was especially happy to meet actors from works she had seen before. When Mu Lian said goodbye, Cai Cai responded enthusiastically. Mu Lian hesitated for a moment before asking Cai Cai if she could take a photo with her, to which Cai Cai replied that of course she could, something she genuinely hadn't expected.

Mu Lian stood beside Cai Cai with her hands clasped in front of her, her posture elegant and upright. Cai Cai tilted her head slightly towards Mu Lian, a faint smile on her face, her eyes gentle, exuding both nobility and innocence. After taking the photos, Mu Lian's agent proactively contacted Mei Zhang to confirm the results before sending them out.

[You can tell from Cai Cai's photos that this picture wasn't heavily photoshopped]

Everyone in and outside the industry knows that if Cai Cai is in a group photo, it's a sure sign that it's been heavily photoshopped.

[Cai Cai's looks are so stunning that heavy editing, which is a beauty treatment for other celebrities, is a disfigurement for Cai Cai.]

【Why not just not edit Cai Cai's photos?】

[Usually, unprofessional photos like these will be distorted if they aren't fully edited, and it's obvious at a glance.]

Me and my noble lady

[Haha, I was just thinking the same thing. Cai Cai seems to dote on the person she takes photos with. They have great CP chemistry, but they're clearly not good enough for Cai Cai.]

[They are a prince and his noble queen wife]

[Don't make your fandom too obvious upstairs.]

[What was said earlier was really true. I've seen all the photos of Cai Cai with other people, and they all have great chemistry. That's Cai Cai's charm, but she really doesn't deserve anyone else.]

【Cai Cai is very versatile, but the other person can't match her】

Please don't bring trouble to Cai Cai!

[It's obvious they're not a good match, but that makes it even more intriguing—it's the feeling of a tragic ending for lovers.]

[Whoever Cai Cai stands next to seems to have loved him for three lifetimes, but all those he loves are short-lived.]

【Ha ha ha ha】

[Cai Cai truly lives up to her reputation as a top-tier actress; she's adept at creating a lively atmosphere for group photos, but the other person clearly couldn't recapture that feeling.]

The only one who can catch it.

The underage team could handle it.

[Don't be a troll, it's finally gotten rid of that person.]

[The Immortal Lord is the only one who can be a good match for Cai Cai, but unfortunately, there's absolutely no chance for them.]

Why did it all fall apart?

The Immortal Lord is too old.

Cai Cai comes from a very humble background.

We are all sons and daughters of China, everyone is equal, who cares about background?

[Is it because the immortal lord's family background is too good that even a princess of a kingdom is worthy of him?]

[Cai Cai is still a child, what are you talking about?]

[Speechless. They pair up anyone who's good-looking with them, it's pure romance-driven.]

[Get out of my love-struck mind!]

Why can't everyone just enjoy their own beauty?

A beauty like Cai Cai deserves to be beautiful alone; men only bring tragedy to women.

【Wait, who are these people?】

【what's the situation? 】

【Is it intentional? 】

[Those bastards, Gem Girls!!]

[Don't use foul language, it will get blocked. Just say they have low moral character.]

[Ban!]

【what happened? 】

[The girls from the H country group greeted Cai Cai, and Cai Cai responded, but they ignored her and walked past.]

【stupid*!!】

[I wasn't greeting Cai Cai, I was greeting the person behind Cai Cai]

[Misunderstanding, I wasn't greeting Cai Cai.]

[Stupid fans are stupid, and blind idols have blind fans.]

[This is clearly a blatant attempt to fool Tsai Tsai.]

Is this revenge?

What exactly is going on?

What happened?

Cai Cai blushed. Oh dear, they hadn't even greeted her, yet she had responded so familiarly. How embarrassing! Of course, it's normal that they didn't know her, just as it's normal that they didn't know her.

That's perfectly normal. People keep calling you a star, and you end up actually thinking you are. How embarrassing.

Cai Cai tried to stay calm and continued walking forward.

Mei Zhang supported Cai Cai, glancing at the five departing figures out of the corner of his eye, a gloomy look in his eyes.

The idol group from earlier walked towards us; they must have finished their performance and returned to their seats. They clearly saw Cai Cai first, then deliberately walked around to greet her with smiles. Once Cai Cai waved back, they immediately stopped smiling, ignored her, and walked past.
