Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Continuation of ’Empress of a Generation

It’s not that the entertainment industry is bad, but everyone has their own aspirations. There are quite a few actors from Diwai, but they all play the role of academic overachievers, which gets a bit tiresome.

As for this Yuran, you can’t really tell.

With Yuran leading the way, Bai Leyao’s performance improved significantly. It was almost entirely Yuran’s emotions that drove Bai Leyao’s acting, and she actually looked the part.

Together, Bai Leyao could pass a scene in just two or three takes. Alone, Bai Leyao needed at least ten takes, which Bai Shaoyu couldn’t stand to watch on the monitor anymore.

Director Li was delighted, his eyes shining brighter and brighter at Yuran, his heart itching to persuade Yuran to act.

Thankfully, though it was exhausting, shifting between three filming locations, the music video was barely completed within a day. Yuran’s completion rate was high; only Bai Leyao needed to reshoot several shots.

By the end of the day, Bai Leyao was a total wreck. "Filming really isn’t for humans!"

Bai Shaoyu, holding two bottles of water, walked up and handed them both, and hearing this, he made a snide remark, "You should be thankful that Yuran is so easy-going. If it were me filming the MV with you and you NG’d that many times, I would have quit long ago!"

Bai Leyao rolled her eyes, unimpressed by Bai Shaoyu’s complaints, "That’s why you can’t become Yuran!"

Bai Shaoyu: "..."

This girl definitely didn’t study well during her school days.

Yuran smiled, unscrewed the cap, and drank half the bottle of water, "It’s okay, it’s just a few shots to redo. Tomorrow I won’t be with you, I have so many classes!"

Bai Leyao, leaning on her shoulder, said, "Mmm, mmm, thank you so much, my brother will transfer the payment directly to your card!"

Yuran shook her head, "No need!"

"It’s necessary!" Bai Leyao insisted, "I have to pay someone else more, Ranran, you’re so cheap, I can’t just stiff you!"

At those words... Yuran felt awkward, somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

Bai Shaoyu massaged his forehead, ignorance is truly scary.

...

After finishing a professional class on Monday, Yuran was packing up her textbooks when she accidentally heard people gossiping behind her.

"Did you hear? About that plagiarism issue with Lin Chen, someone has stepped forward to testify, confirming Lin Chen is a plagiarist!"

"Really?" another girl asked incredulously, "When ’Voicing Love’ first came out, I thought it was different from Lin Chen’s usual style. Was he trying to change? It turns out, he really did plagiarize?"

"Exactly! And I spent money on the digital album, I’m so annoyed."

Yuran paused in her actions, took out her phone, and opened the official blog. Her personal interest was piqued, and it filled up with various kinds of information.

She searched for Lin Chen’s plagiarism, and the first ten or so results were trending topics. She scrolled through them, encountering posts by well-known influencers condemning Lin Chen’s actions.

The most credible was the betrayal by Lin Chen’s assistant.

This involved elements like the second dimension An Family’s young princess and Bloodstained Battlefield Asura Sword.

It detailed Lin Chen’s romance with Annan and his eventual betrayal. Lin Chen’s assistant confirmed that the song ’Voicing Love’ was acquired by Lin Chen from a friend of his ex-girlfriend, who had helped Lin Chen get it.

The friend of the ex-girlfriend wanted the musical score to be credited to her, but Lin Chen acted in bad faith and claimed it as his own.

The matter appeared to have been completely exposed out of the blue, followed immediately by Yinran Entertainment’s PR department stepping in to clarify that they were unaware, directly announcing a ban on Lin Chen to appease the public.

Later, to divert attention, after being quiet for over half a year, they announced that ’Empress of a Generation’ would be continued and finished by Fu Bairan, the younger sister of Fu Yuran.
