The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 395 Zhuo Mingyue

Among paparazzi, there are very few like Zhuo Mingyue, who are graduates of prestigious universities and have such high aesthetic standards that they can participate in professional competitions.

She entered this industry out of necessity.

Because she was very inarticulate, she was once labeled as "socially anxious".

She also submitted many resumes the year she graduated.

She graduated from a prestigious university with outstanding grades and numerous awards, but she kept running into obstacles and couldn't even pass the interview.

Because she has problems with communication at work.

Later, I could only try working as an individual.

Her parents used their retirement savings to open a photography studio for her.

Despite her daily encouragement, she still couldn't attract more customers. Even when passersby did come into the store, poor communication often prevented them from making a sale, and they would just ask a few questions and leave.

That shop gritted its teeth and persevered for three months, but because it couldn't afford the rent, it had to close down.

She frequently participates in various photography competitions, but the meager and unstable prize money is not enough to make a living.

In the end, having no other choice, I had to follow my distant cousin and become a paparazzi.

His cousin told him that academic qualifications are meaningless; as long as you have a skill, you won't starve.

She wanted to argue that it wasn't like that; she simply lacked the ability to utilize her education, and that just because she couldn't do it didn't mean others couldn't either.

It's especially unfair that her classmates and teachers, who are all outstanding people, are looked down upon because of her.

She really wanted to say that the more you lack something, the less you appreciate it; it's like the fox saying the grapes are sour because he can't reach them—she understands that perfectly.

But even after these words had run through her mind countless times, Zhuo Mingyue couldn't utter a single one. In the end, she could only pretend she hadn't heard them and tell herself that those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

Fortunately, although this distant cousin had a bit of reverse educational discrimination, he didn't lie to her.

Although being a paparazzi is tough, if you can endure the hardships and have a bit of luck, you might indeed become rich overnight.

If someone can get you into the industry, it's actually a pretty good job.

Besides the relatively good income, there was another point that really appealed to her: independent paparazzi have no organization, don't have to work regular hours, and are truly free.

Zhuo Mingyue was able to get into a prestigious university, so she must be quite intelligent. Her lack of communication skills doesn't mean she has no ideas.

When she first started out, she was just like any other paparazzi, following her cousin to film celebrity scandals, hoping to get a bombshell, a one-shot deal, and then retire.

But she soon realized that doing so carried great legal risks, and that she could easily end up in jail.

So they took a different approach, focusing on taking beautiful and handsome photos of celebrities, as well as various funny clips. For example, a usually aloof artist squinting while eating a lollipop in private; a cool and aloof lady pouting and acting cute in front of a glass wall; a singing and dancing idol passing by a stray dog ​​and challenging it to a battle, only to be given a disdainful look by the dog...

These products sell very well to wealthy fans of celebrities or to marketing accounts under the names of celebrities' companies.

Because of the hidden camera filming, there's no fear of the celebrities having poor acting skills or appearing unnatural.

Aside from being a little difficult to squat, there's nothing wrong with it.

Her job is a bit like that of a fan site admin, but she doesn't sell merchandise or run a fan site. She can't even accurately define her profession.

But when fans criticize her, they still call her a paparazzi, so let's just call her a paparazzi for now!

She changed her career path without permission. At first, Zhuo Mingyue's income was very low, and her cousin kept arguing with her, feeling that she had a lot of skills but didn't take the "right path" and was simply hopeless.

But she's an only child, so whatever she does, she has to think about the future. If she goes to jail, even if her parents are rich, they won't be happy.

My cousin was so angry he jumped up and down, but she wouldn't say a word. In the end, he was so angry that he broke up with her.

A few months later, my cousin, who had just switched to a drone and wasn't very skilled at operating it, crashed the machine into the female celebrity's yard. He sneaked in to retrieve it and happened to run into her fierce Northeastern mother picking peaches from a peach tree. When she saw him sneaking over the wall, she narrowed her eyes and smashed a peach directly on his head, letting out a howl. This immediately attracted a large guard dog, who was so frightened that he covered his head and squatted on the spot, not daring to move an inch.

After being handed over to the police, he quickly became embroiled in a lawsuit. He was eventually sentenced to five years in prison for trespassing, secretly filming others' privacy for profit, infringing on citizens' information, and endangering public safety.

By consistently adhering to her own development path, Zhuo Mingyue has become increasingly adept at it over the years.

Without needing to interact with people face-to-face, and only needing to communicate online, setting up an online store to sell special USB drives with collectible value, following the traditional route, was really not difficult for her.

Once she gained fame and a reputation in the industry, her photos sold well. In fact, many celebrities thought she was skilled and would happily ask her to take "airport photos" for promotional purposes.

With her income improving and her life becoming more free, she would take advantage of her position to follow celebrities and enrich her spiritual life when she was in a good mood.

It's difficult for people in the entertainment industry to follow celebrities, and it's even more difficult for paparazzi to do so.

Because there are so many dirty things in the entertainment industry, many celebrities appear to have extremely positive images, but in fact, they have done a lot of dirty things behind the scenes. Even just seeing them in person will make fans unfollow them at lightning speed, let alone getting to know them better.

But she chose Lu Nanting.

I initially paid attention to him because of his family background.

Because he came from the direct line of the Lu family, Lu Nanting caused a huge uproar as soon as he debuted.

At that time, there were countless people from south to north who were pessimistic about the future, but Zhuo Mingyue's focus was different.

The Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition, so the children they raise are bound to be of decent character. Plus, they have a powerful background, so as long as he doesn't want to leave the entertainment industry, it won't be easy for his reputation to collapse.

It's safer to be a fan of this kind of person.

She was in her early thirties at the time, and she treated Lu Nanting like a son, always considering herself a "mommy fan".

It has to be said that Lu Nanting, despite his young age, is quite charming. For a while, whenever she had free time, she would follow Lu Nanting's schedule and take photos of him, but she never sold them.

Until one day, she followed Lu Nanting to a private restaurant, climbed a large banyan tree, and saw Lu Nanting having a meal with his family.

The Lu family is very united. No matter how busy they are, they will have a family meal several times a year, either at home or outside.

Because Mrs. Lu has high standards for food, she only frequents a few restaurants. Zhuo Mingyue is very good at figuring out which secluded spots she can take photos of. She knows exactly what those spots are.

She never expected to see Gu Lanxi that day.

Gu Lanxi didn't come with Lu Nanting; she came arm in arm with Lu's wife, arriving later than Lu Nanting!

She was so shocked that she almost fell off the banyan tree!
Gu Lanxi debuted a little earlier than Lu Nanting. On the surface, the two were just under the same agency and had no other connection.

I never imagined we'd be so close that we'd eat together!
It was still the Dragon Boat Festival! She appeared arm-in-arm with Lu Nanting's mother!!
With the wedding date fast approaching, I plan to describe the wedding from an outsider's perspective, providing a comprehensive account of the event.

Bingjie held a Western-style event back then, which was a real shame. Xijie is planning to hold a purely Chinese-style event, which would be super interesting.

I can't just write this randomly; my hair is starting to look like it's about to fall out of style.

Do you have any hair growth products you'd recommend?

I'm sure you wouldn't want a bald author, right? ╭(╯^╰)╮

Young master, a celebrity handpicked by paparazzi, definitely worth following. ^_^
The paparazzi sister is the one in chapter 189. She took pictures of the two of them with a built-in filter, received an invitation, and even had orange-red slippers with Xi Jie's private contact information.

Our first perspective comes from her; we can learn about some of the wedding preparations from her.
