Yang Mi . Half of the rookies in the entertainment industry had to call her their senior . Even those from the same batch feared and had to show her deference .
This was not just because of her popularity with the masses; she had an influential backer, so people were wary of her .
Yun Shishi was slightly perplexed . Why did the woman call out to her when she did not know her personally?
As she was wondering about this, Yang Mi and Tang Yu walked up to her . The former snorted audibly while the latter, who standing next to her, commented in half-jest, “Why? Is this your first time attending a grand event that you’ve become tongue-tied in front of a superstar?”
“No,” she replied sweetly .
“Why aren’t you addressing ‘Sister Yang Mi’, then?” Tang Yu rolled her eyes .
These ladies aren’t here with good intentions, huh .
She smiled and humbly replied, “That’s because Sister Yang Mi is so stunning tonight in that beautiful gown . She looks way better in person than on screen . ”
Hearing this, Yang Mi happily accepted the praise . She eyed Yun Shishi properly for the first time . “You are a newbie but seems to take well to grand occasions . You are sweet with your words, too!”
“Hmph! Bootlicker!” Tang Yu was bent on stirring conflict as she added sarcastically .
Yun Shishi was not flustered when she heard that . Instead, she smilingly asked, “It is a sincere compliment to Sister Yang Mi . She really looks radiant in her dress tonight . Does Sister Tang Yu not agree with my assessment?”
Yang Mi gave Tang Yu a warning look from her peripheral view . The latter rushed to clarify, “Nonsense . Are you trying to cause a rift between us?”
Yun Shishi gently replied, “I won’t dare do that . Sister Yang Mi is an excellent actress and Sister Tang Yu has great acting skills, too . You two are as close as sisters; how can I cause a rift between you two? Still, I must say that Sister Tang Yu is also up for the challenge tonight with your splendid appearance . ”
She was subtly hinting that Tang Yu was equally dressed to kill, so she could fight with Yang Mi for the attention .
The two were under the same manager and company . Both became famous after acting in a drama series and were currently highly sought-after . Though Yang Mi was more famous than Tang Yu, she was often compared to the latter, and that had been making her quite unhappy lately .
Tang Yu was also frustrated with the constant comparison .
The two put so much effort into dressing up for tonight’s gala with the underlying intention of stealing each other’s thunder . However, both ended up looking almost the same .
“How can I compare with Sister Yang?! I’m behind her in terms of quality and experience!”
That goes without saying .
Yang Mi ignored her words and said, “You are called Yun Shishi, right?”
“Yes . How did Sister Yang Mi know of my name?” She was puzzled .
She smiled insincerely . “I heard about you when you got the female lead role in the ‘The Green Apple’ . Congrats . ”
She sounded like a sour grape .
Yun Shishi suddenly recalled some gossips Qin Zhou had shared with her earlier . Apparently, the female lead was already pre-determined despite the audition . The list of favorites included Yang Mi . Unfortunately, she was deemed as too old for the role by Lin Fengtian .
Getting disqualified due to her age was actually not fair to Yang Mi . At 25, she was not much older than the 24-year-old Yun Shishi . However, the deciding factor was that the latter looked much younger than her age and looked the part of a naïve school girl in uniform .
How could Yang Mi compare?
In this way, beauty was also a kind of talent .
