Previously, there was no collaboration with top-tier variety shows like Toilet Channel because it didn’t seem worthwhile, but as soon as "Heiress Strategy" concluded, the invitations rolled in, specifically naming her and Ling Yao to join the shows. Of course, the other main actors received offers for different shows, but they didn’t have the Shuanghua couple tag as binding them together.
Toilet Channel has two flagship programs and they need the two of them to liven things up and play gas. The appearance fee is quite substantial too, one million each. Two appearances earning them two million in just two days – Hua Yan found that making money after becoming famous was indeed quite easy.
She and Ling Yao have always had a good relationship, and going forward, it would be impossible not to stay in touch. So, after a phone call, they accepted the invitation for these two programs.
As their manager, Zhou Zhou naturally felt proud seeing two artists doing so well, especially since he was once the top agent of a leading female star. But due to Liang An, he had to leave and to this day, he hasn’t received that star’s forgiveness.
He had resigned himself to never being able to hold his head high again in front of that person, as there was no other artist who could reach the heights of soone like Cui Can. Achieving a grand slam of movie awards, TV grand slam, being one of the four blooms, having a natural actor in one’s lifeti is considered lucky enough. But he never imagined Hua Yan’s ergence would revive his long-dormant ambitions because she is an even better prospect than Cui Can.
Cui Can was extraordinarily proud from the start of her career. She was a good prospect, but she also had her flaws. However, Hua Yan was different. Her purity, integrity, faith, way of conducting herself completely outshone Cui Can. Furthermore, she’s still young, while Cui Can, at thirty-five, had nothing much to be proud about, even with her extra years of experience.
He and Cui Can weren’t particularly close; it was just mutual utilization. Bound by interests, their separation was clean and swift.
But after coming to Liang An, he realized that the entertainnt circle was not entirely pragmatic. At least Liang An didn’t follow the exploitative and oppressive capitalist theories while dealing with company artists. In his view, here was a true give and take. Liang An offered respect, and the artists offered him their trust. A fair exchange, worthy of his endeavors.
As for Hua Yan and Liang An, they were originally students. In fact, during their school days, he didn’t expect them to beco so popular. Just maintaining second or third-tier status would have been good enough. But unexpectedly, the company’s first drama they invested in went viral and successfully launched them into the audience’s eyes.
Seizing opportunities by participating in major variety shows was an unmissable chance for them at this mont.
Because of the drama’s success, the company prepared a nanny car for Hua Yan and Ling Yao. Zhou Zhou remained their manager, and their schedules weren’t overwhelming, so he could still manage them on his own. Ling Yao attracted many fans due to his good looks and received positive reviews as his acting skills improved.
Of course, if you were to say who beca the most popular in the entire drama, it was neither the male nor female lead but the supporting actors and actresses, especially Hua Yan, whose excellent appearance was matched by exceptional acting skills. No one in the crew would be jealous of her because she indeed deserved their admiration.
In the variety shows other actors participated in, company actors would eagerly reveal how outstanding Hua Yan was on set. When a female actor was afraid of riding a horse, she personally offered comfort and advice. If anyone couldn’t play the guzheng or the guqin, she would teach them hands-on, and embroidery, manners, and etiquette seed to be second nature to her. Whenever soone didn’t know sothing and looked her way, she would instinctively co over and share her knowledge.
"Everyone knows Yan is from the Music College, but it’s not just that she plays the piano well. She can also play the guqin, guzheng, Xiao, and even the lute. On top of that, calligraphy, martial arts, embroidery, horse riding, archery—she’s adept at all of these, isn’t it infuriating?"
"And that’s not all, Yan’s cooking is also amazing, unbelievably delicious. Her food is unforgettable. Only Ling Yao from the crew had the good fortune of tasting it frequently, and he shalessly imposed himself on her to get als—no way to drive him away. For us, tasting it once felt like pure bliss."
"Indeed, regarding Yan’s writing, joining a competition would surely win her an award. The scenes of Sister Zhao Ying writing were all done by Hua Yan instead."
