In order to create a casual feeling, He Meng made her wear a simple V-neck oversize T-shirt and jeans. Not only did she not look bloated when she wore the oversized clothes, but the clothes also accentuated her head to shoulders ratio, as well as her exquisite and well-defined collarbones.
On her hairstyling, her bangs were tied back with a wine-red hair clip, highlighting the superiority of her cranium, her full forehead, and her exquisite eyebrows. A few strands of hair at the side of her temples modified her face shape, and the rest of her hair was slightly curled with a curling iron and draped over her shoulders.
Coupled with her bare-faced makeup, she looked exquisite and casual, with a hint of innocence and playfulness.
The people in front of the screen shouted, asking her if she was indeed so good-looking and if her makeup was indeed so light.
!!
Yu Han said honestly, “I’m not bare-faced. The makeup artist said that this is ‘pretending to be bare-faced makeup’, so it looks like I’m not wearing any makeup under the camera.”
As soon as Yu Han said this, the comments started shouting, telling her not to be so honest.
Yu Han smiled and said, “I also want to say that this is my bare-faced face, but what if I really come out bare-faced next time? The difference will be too great. What if you report me for fraud?”
The interesting and good interaction made the live broadcast room happy. Before they even started playing games, Yu Han’s live broadcast room’s popularity had already increased. At the same time, the gif of her when she turned off the beauty filter had already been taken by many people and posted to other platforms.
At this moment, the trending topics arranged by various artists had already been released and occupied different positions on the trending list.
Among the people participating in the ranking competition this time, He Meng only mentioned five artists who played well. However, the most popular artist was not these five, but another male actor, Fu Si.
Like Ji Jun, Fu Si was a child star. However, compared to Ji Jun’s instant rise to fame, he was considered the steady type. He debuted when he was 10 years old and mingled with various production teams. After that, he entered the Capital Film Academy and slowly accumulated a certain amount of popularity.
When he was in school, he filmed a police drama and played the villain’s younger brother in it. Because of his exciting persona and good acting skills, he finally got famous and successfully changed the audience’s impression of him as a child star. After that, his resources rose sharply. The quality of his work was mixed, but his popularity did catch up.
Initially, Fu Si did not want to participate in this ranking competition. However, after Ji Jun joined the variety show “Light of eSports”, his team contacted the production team and wanted to get him in. However, the production team had already reserved four spots, so they rejected him politely.
If Ji Jun was an existence that suppressed actors of the same age as him, then those artists who debuted as child stars with him were even worse. Fu Si was the biggest victim because he debuted together with Ji Jun in the same television drama.
In the drama, Fu Si acted as the older brother and Ji Jun acted as the younger brother. At that time, the two of them had gained quite a bit of popularity because of their cute appearance and interesting interactions. After the television drama ended, Ji Jun was directly chosen by a big director as one of the main leads and went to act in a movie.
Later on, the movie’s box office sales were smashing. Ji Jun instantly became the most valued child star, opening his path to becoming the Best Actor. Meanwhile, Fu Si could only rotate among the various production teams and play small roles that only had a few episodes.
Fu Si had never understood why the director had taken a liking to Ji Jun at first glance after watching the two of them perform in a movie. They were clearly only a year apart, and his acting skills at that time were better than Ji Jun’s. Moreover, the audience liked him more as the older brother.
With Ji Jun’s explosive popularity, this small difference brought about a huge difference. However, it happened just like that. Fu Si did not understand and he was unwilling to accept that, but he had to accept it as a fact.
It was only later when Ji Jun’s family background was exposed that Fu Si finally found a reason to convince himself. The reason why Ji Jun could defeat him was not because he was less capable than Ji Jun, but because Ji Jun had a good family background.
However, even if Fu Si convinced himself, things were obviously not that simple. With Ji Jun’s popularity, when various marketing accounts went through Ji Jun’s results, they had to pull Fu Si out as Ji Jun’s control group.
Every time Fu Si saw this news, he felt quite uncomfortable. However, his management team told him that this was a good thing. Ji Jun was so popular, and he was the one who took advantage of him.
