Chapter 397: Chapter 398 Stand-up Comedy

He Jinxia slightly lifted her head with confidence and responded, "When I made up my mind to lose weight, I never imagined I could slim down this much. Even thoughts like ’just let it be, I won’t lose weight anymore, losing weight is so hard, don’t lose weight’ came into my mind."

The female host asked, "Since it’s so exhausting, then why did you decide to lose weight in the first place?"

He Jinxia answered quite rightfully and proudly, "To earn money, of course!"

"I need to survive. Even though I’m a member of a girl group, my image was too poor. Many brands and show bookings wouldn’t approach me, and those who did were all about comedy entertainment, with very low pay."

"At that time, I was thinking that I couldn’t go on like this. Poor people have their way of living, and rich people have theirs. If I couldn’t become a star, then I might as well leave the circle early and change careers. I certainly can’t just let myself starve to death, right?"

A trace of pity crossed the female host’s face, "Poor child, you must have suffered a lot at that time, right?"

He Jinxia replied, "Actually, it wasn’t too bad. During that period, I especially had moments of feeling inconsolable, staring blankly at something for a long time. Just then, I got an opportunity to go on a variety show, so I decided to take the chance and give it my all."

Hearing this, the female host became curious, "What did you do on the show?"

He Jinxia said, "In front of the entire internet audience, I declared that if I didn’t succeed in losing weight this time, I would leave the entertainment circle. I kept my word."

"Wow!!"

Beneath the stage, the audience burst into exclamations, applauding and whistling vigorously.

There were quite a few young people at the talk show and they thought He Jinxia’s approach was particularly cool!

The female host couldn’t help but admire, "I must say, you’re very brave."

He Jinxia smiled slightly, her smile confident and hearty, dazzlingly bright, "We Huaxia people have an old saying, ’If you don’t succeed, you become a martyr. How can you know what you are capable of if you don’t strive with all your might? Even if you gave it your all and still didn’t achieve your goal, at least you have tried your best and won’t have any regrets."

"Back then, I had no other thoughts, just one, and that was to firmly lose weight and stand anew in the entertainment circle with a completely new attitude!"

"Chen Xiaohui! Chen Xiaohui! Chen Xiaohui..." Some fans were moved by He Jinxia’s speech and were shouting He Jinxia’s name from the movie frantically below the stage, their expressions fervent.

The female host exclaimed "Wow~" and praised, "I’ve gone to see your movie ’Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!’ and I think you have a certain quality that is very similar to Chen Xiaohui. In the movie, she is also so determined, which is why she finally succeeds in losing weight and transforms into a butterfly."

He Jinxia blushed with a smile, "You flatter me, the creation of the character Chen Xiaohui wouldn’t have been possible without the meticulous work of the scriptwriters and director."

The female host waved her hand, "Girl, no need to be so modest. I believe that no other star could fit the role of Chen Xiaohui better than you. The workplace content in it is funny yet real, and although it doesn’t attract someone like me who has been immersed in the workplace for many years, your weight loss scenes really shocked me."

"When I was watching it, I kept thinking, ’Oh my God, how can someone portray losing weight so realistically?’ The expression that seemed about to faint after every exercise, I absolutely couldn’t tell you were acting!"

"Especially seeing you gradually slimming down, with the changes in your facial features looking so natural, it’s completely different from those actresses who put on heavy prosthetic fat to look overweight!"

The hostess spoke with enthusiasm, "As soon as I finished the movie, I went home and searched for you. To be honest, I rarely look up a star and become so intensely interested in them. This year, you’re the sixth star I’ve manually searched for."

"The content I found after searching didn’t disappoint me. You actually went into battle, taking the film seriously as a weight loss film, and you really lost weight for it. That shocked me."

She generously praised He Jinxia, and even through the cold mechanical voice of the translator tablet, He Jinxia felt somewhat embarrassed.

In the end, the female host stood up, looked around the entire room, and tossed out the final question of the day with light-hearted humor:

"I’ve been maintaining this body fat for many years now. Although I’m not very fat, as a woman, I always hope to achieve a perfect figure and look good in clothes."

"I rant about losing weight every day, yet I fail to do it every day. It was after seeing your film that I realized that it’s ultimately my own lack of determination that I haven’t backed myself into a corner. Here, on behalf of many viewers, I want to ask you a question: how did you manage to persist?"

He Jinxia blinked, a hint of perplexity crossed her eyes. After pondering for a long time, she countered with a question, "Do you know how I lost weight at that time?"

The hostess shook her head.

He Jinxia reminisced, "At that time, there were few people in the crew, and my situation was special, so the film was divided into two parts: before and after weight loss. After filming the parts before the weight loss, the crew took a break for a few months because they had to wait for me to successfully lose weight before they could continue shooting."

"I lived in a level of an office building, which was very empty and filled with fitness equipment. Every day, my tasks were to exercise, eat, exercise, and eat again... Closed environment training, with a dedicated dietitian timing me, I had no time to be distracted by other things."

"Whenever I felt so tired from exercising that I thought I might faint, I would cheer myself on, saying just to hold on a little longer, it would soon be over, and I just kept at it and lost the weight that way."

He Jinxia spoke with utter sincerity, "I think the reason I was able to lose weight was partly due to my determination, and partly due to the environment. The closed environment forced me to keep going."

The hostess couldn’t help but give her a hug and said, "Such a warmhearted and straightforward summary, without boasting or empty talk, I really like it. If there’s a chance, I’d like to collaborate with you, even though it’s been several years since I’ve acted in any films or shows."

He Jinxia smiled slightly, her words teasing, "Someday in the future, I also look forward to working with you, even if it’s not in films or shows, a talk show would be fine."

The hostess’s eyes widened in an exaggerated fashion, "Oh no! Chen Xiaohui wants to steal my job, can you believe it?!"

The audience, wanting to be polite, voiced their belief.

The hostess then put on an expression of having nothing left to live for, generating a burst of hearty laughter from the crowd, and He Jinxia was no exception, though her smile was restrained, carrying the unique reserve of Huaxia people.

Time was almost up, and the hostess ended the talk show in a light-hearted tone.

"People have many ideals and commitments, but most of the grand statements made in a moment are forgotten the next day. Only a few work hard and focus, and before they know it, their dreams have been realized."

"So don’t hesitate, if there’s something you want to do, be brave and go for it! That’s it for today’s show, I’ll see you tomorrow night at seven, don’t miss it!"

Applause erupted all around as the recording for this episode of the talk show officially concluded.
