Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

The Superstar System is an incredibly simple system. In Shen Ze's view, this is what the fan community calls "ranking obsession" and "data obsession."

But it's also good. At least you don't have to worry about ups and downs in your career. It may be difficult at the beginning, but it's an uphill road all the way. You don't have to worry about what to do if you become outdated, which reduces a lot of anxiety.

There's one thing he's not happy about: why can't film and television investments be counted as "superstar points"? If they were, his investment in "Wolf Warrior 2," which brought in a billion yuan, could be exchanged for 100 million superstar points, which would mean 100 million viewers and a film worth billions.

Unfortunately, there are no loopholes in the system. Even if you make and invest in your own movies, your remuneration has to be the kind that your peers in the entertainment industry recognize. For example, if the entertainment industry generally recognizes your remuneration as 10 million, you can ask for 100 million in remuneration for yourself. Anyway, it's your own money, and the money will be credited to your account. But for superstars, the remuneration is calculated as 10 million.

But it doesn't matter. A little difficulty is a challenge, and that's the only way Shen Ze can comfort himself. It's not like he can change anything anyway.

However, it's too early to think about these things now. Whether it's destiny or superstar points, you have to enter the entertainment industry and activate the system to obtain them.

"Are you alright?" Shen Ze, who was immersed in his happiness, heard the soft female voice.

"It's nothing. What's this?" Shen Ze was a little surprised when he saw the bottle of drink handed to him. Had he already had a romantic encounter after just binding with the system?

"I'll buy you a drink. It wasn't entirely your fault just now." Gulinaza was too embarrassed to tell the truth. Actually, it wasn't Shen Ze's fault just now; it was mostly her fault because she wasn't paying attention to where she was when she was texting someone.

"She's not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted," Shen Ze said.

"Then I'll go in." Naza smiled and thanked him. That was about it; they weren't familiar with each other and didn't have much to talk about.

"You're busy." Shen Ze was also very sensible and didn't pester her. He didn't know Nazha, who was a beauty even among celebrities, but compared to her, she was never short of men pestering her.

Although he really wanted to get to know her, he understood that he had a system, but it wasn't a hypnosis system or a super-rich system. He hadn't changed anything yet, so if a top-tier beauty fell in love with him at first sight, and she dared to fall in love, Shen Ze would have to suspect that it was a honey trap.

His past life experiences also taught him that being a simp was a dead end. In the time before his rebirth, there were endless incidents like Xiao Huijun, the engagement case, and the fat cat. The power of the fist was overwhelming, especially the engagement incident, which happened not far from his hometown. Coupled with the online atmosphere, having a system and still being a simp was a dead end.

When two people are together, the important thing is mutual attraction. If their core competitiveness is not obvious, they should be self-aware. If he is just an ordinary person, what makes him attractive?

Besides, he has to go back to repeat his studies, so he can't stay here to pursue girls. It's actually quite good to just let things take their course. It's not that he can't pursue girls because he doesn't have time or money, it's just that it's meaningless.

"Sir, are you taking wedding photos? Artistic photos are fine too." Shen Ze looked at the drink in his hand, blackcurrant, what kind of flavor is this? Then he heard a accented Mandarin, this must be Japanese.

"Yes, I'll look into it," Shen Ze said. He couldn't very well say that he just came in to clock in.

There were many photos on the wall, and he saw Nezha. She was quite popular. Being pretty is an advantage, no matter what you do. But this photo looked so familiar.

He saw her in person, and when he got up and pretended to look at the tourist photo templates at the counter, there were two people sitting on the long sofa inside. One was Nazha from earlier, and the other was also a top star in her previous life, Dilraba. Compared to the radiant beauty on the red carpet in her previous life, she now looked a bit immature.

However, these two don't seem to get along very well. There are clothes and bags between them on the sofa, and neither of them looks at the other. Is it because they are in competition or simply not familiar with each other?

"We provide ethnic costumes and also offer photography services. Look, these are our artistic photos taken at Tianchi." The introduction was very detailed, but Shen Ze's mind was not on that.

He couldn't wait to head straight home. Why bother with taking artistic photos? His purpose in coming here was to bind himself to the system. Once the mission was complete, he should go back. He wasn't qualified to travel. Traveling was something only the rich could afford. After deducting the cost of his return ticket, he had no more than three hundred yuan left to spend.

"I just want to take a simple tourist photo, can I take a photo with them?" Since I'm already here, taking a photo will make the trip worthwhile.

"You'll have to ask them, haha, everyone loves pretty girls."

"Excuse me, the scenery in WLMQ is very beautiful. I'd like to find a girl to take a picture with as a souvenir. Is that convenient?" Seeing that the two of them were alright, Shen Ze went in and asked.

Not being a simp doesn't mean you can't appreciate beauty. Men should take the initiative. Taking a photo together isn't something they can sue me for.

"Okay." "Sure."

Dilraba and Nazha spoke in unison. From Dilraba's perspective, Shen Ze was targeting her, but Nazha felt that he was targeting her, even though they had had some initial interactions.

I don't disagree. They praised their hometown and themselves, and the young lady made people happy. I can't refuse to give them face. But after they said it, I felt something was off. Who did they say that to?

It's thanks to his thick skin from years of experience in society that he's become so thick-skinned. If it were Shen Ze at his age, he would have been timid and hesitant to speak up. Your behavior only makes the atmosphere awkward, and people who want to take a photo with you are discouraged by you.

A man should always be generous and open-minded; it's never wrong. Of course, it also gives him confidence. So what if he doesn't have money? Maybe he'll need to lend you a hand in the future.

"Thanks, let's go together then." Shen Ze didn't hesitate at all; two people seemed to be more valuable than one.

"Okay." Since they had already agreed, and they were both young girls, they couldn't go back on their word. A casual photo on the sofa and a photo on the street cost thirty-two yuan. The main thing was that the photos were printed, two five-inch prints, which was quite nice.

"Naza, thank you for the drink. Let's add each other on QQ. I'll mail you some local specialties from our hometown later." After taking the photo, Shen Ze naturally suggested adding each other as friends. He didn't mention his sensitive phone number, just his QQ number, so there was no pressure.

"Are you two close?" When taking the photo, since they were acquainted, the relationship between Naza and Shen Ze was clearly different from that of Dilraba. They had even added each other as friends. When Shen Ze thanked Dilraba, she asked curiously, unaware of what had just happened.

"Yes, it was definitely worth the trip. We can even become QQ friends. My name is Shen Ze. If you ever come to the mainland, you can look me up. My QQ number is 9135xxx. What's yours?" Shen Ze said.

"Um, 8xx," Reba was clearly a little uncomfortable, but since he had already given her his number, it wouldn't be right for her not to give it back. Oh well, she could just add him and not chat with him anymore.

Shen Ze kept it in mind, then left to buy a train ticket. As for his friends, he'd add them later. In this future, everyone has a cell phone, but he only had his mother's old, retired cell phone, which he only got because it was convenient to contact her.

After receiving the photos and eating a bowl of hand-grabbed rice, I set off on my way home without even staying overnight. I was very tired, but I was happy that the system was successfully linked.
