Chapter 575: 574. You guys are making me panic (fourth update)

"Is he really that scary?"

"I just looked at my own judges’ list, and he’s on it. Could anyone give me some pointers?"

No sooner had the message been sent than the person found many people leaving messages in the comment section.

"Clap for you and light a candle for you, buddy, you’ve hit the jackpot!"

"Clap for you and light a candle for you, buddy, you’ve hit the jackpot!"

...

The comment section was a string of copy-pastes, other than this sentence, it was hard to find a second one!

He: "???"

You guys are making me panic—

It’s just baffling.

Many participants who had opted for the username ’Give and Take’ were present because according to the mechanism of five judges per participant, the system had fairly arranged for each judge to have half of the participants.

On the other end, Tang Shu finished a day’s shooting and received a private message from Shen Yan.

[Shen Yan]: "Boss, the Weibo account for ’Give and Take’ has quite a few messages..."

Tang Shu grabbed a bottle of mineral water beside her, took a sip to wet her throat, and instead of logging out to switch accounts, she directly replied to him.

[Tang Shu]: "Why are there more messages? What happened?"

[Shen Yan]: "Today, the Calligraphy and Painting Association officially released new news, confirming the rules for the second round of the competition. As for the messages left for you, I can’t explain them in a short time. It’s quite complicated, so you might want to check it out yourself?"

Tang Shu: "..."

Do I need to check it out myself?

Tang Shu, who had wanted to be lazy, rolled her eyes, wishing she could roar on the spot, "What use are you!"

Never mind, he’s had a tough time lately, and she is a considerate boss who cares about her employees.

Tang Shu put down the water bottle, leaned back on the sofa in the crew’s rest area, and switched accounts to look at the comments.

[Uncle She, my beloved uncle! I beg you to go easy on me please!]

[Uncle, uncle, you can teach me or scold me in the comments, just make sure the scores are normal, okay~~]

[Uncle, you’re so handsome and wise, can’t you give me just a little face???]

[Don’t say anything, just kowtow in respect to you first, uncle, please remember my ID!]

[Recognize me, recognize me, I’ll tell you a little secret, this is my real name—]

Tang Shu: "???"

What is this all about, all coming to butter me up with rainbow flattery?

Not normal.

She exited the app and conveniently opened the association’s official website, and finally finished reading the system information as well as the towering skyscrapers of comments that had already been built up in the comment section.

She laughed.

The corners of her mouth turned up into a contented smile, and her slender, fair fingers flew as she typed out a sentence in no time.

She clicked ’post’.

The next instant, the contestants following her Weibo account received a new message notification.

[Give and Take: Luck is also a part of ability.]

They: "???"

***

The May Day holiday was coming soon.

Tang Shu, being in the entertainment industry, should have already said goodbye to the idea of holidays, but she still managed to negotiate two days off with the crew.

On the way to the airport, Luo Lin sat in the backseat, reporting to her about the important work of the past month.

"The second round of ’You Smile’ ratings are climbing high, almost equal to the first round, which is a good sign. I believe that when the second season starts filming in the second half of the year, the advertising fees will have to double at least!"

And as the largest investor, Starshine Media has made a tidy profit this time.

It is worth mentioning that the market value of this entertainment company, established for about a year, has also undergone earth-shattering changes; it’s no longer the small, pitiful entity it once was.

"Hmm, when will the second season start shooting?"

"Around September. After the summer break, we’ll start shooting, and by then, your ’Corridor Pavilion’ will probably also be wrapping up."

Speaking of this, Luo Lin felt a bit emotional.

An actor, taking on only two shows in a year, would be considered low output compared to others in the circle.

But she got stuck with an ancestor who was not only a student but also took on a bunch of "part-time jobs" on her own, and Luo Lin, as her agent, couldn’t utter a word of objection.

No choice, they were ancestors, untouchable.

And what’s more miraculous is that this student wasn’t focusing on her studies recently, as there hadn’t been many classes she attended in some time.

"Recently, several countries overseas want to discuss the rights for ’You Smile.’ I’m planning to sell them for a good price!"

Luo Lin, having reflected, chatted spiritedly, her eyes sharp and calculating, her mind filled with dollar signs.

Tang Shu paused for a moment, deciding not to talk, leaving the decision-making to her.

"Right, our company just signed two new actors. Your crew has been getting too many requests for you lately. Since you only want to focus on ’Corridor Pavilion’ for now, I’ve recommended the other small roles to the newcomers."

"Good, the company’s Jiang Yan has been quite popular recently, hasn’t she? You could arrange a few more auditions for her."

"She’s now Starshine Media’s second Young Leading Actress, okay? That Jiang Yan you talked about, she made her debut with the supporting role in ’You Smile,’ she’s quite famous!"

"..."

Tang Shu smoothly accepted the criticism, humbly replying, "You’ve worked hard, it’s my lack of knowledge about Starshine."

"Glad you know that."

Luo Lin glanced at her irritably, looking through the car window to see that they were nearing the airport, and quickly urged her to put her mask on.

"I don’t know why, but every time I let you go out on your own, I get nervous."

This was another kind of inertia that had formed over the past year as Tang Shu’s agent.

Having said that, even with her beside this illustrious ancestor, troublesome incidents weren’t scarce, let alone when letting her roam free.

Simply putting it, she was giving herself free rein.

Tang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, originally wanting to assure her of something, but knowing that accidents weren’t within her control, she wisely kept quiet.

After putting on her mask, she pushed her black baseball cap down a little further and opened the rear car door to get out.

***

By the time Tang Shu returned to Tang Family Village, it was already evening.

Today’s Tang Village looked quite different from her last visit. Last time she came back, it was the New Year, with everything covered in a blanket of snow, while now it was lush and green.

Standing on the hillside looking west, the fiery red afterglow of the sunset spilled over the area, dying it in shades of red. The combination of green and red was particularly dazzling.

"Didn’t you say you were on vacation for two days? Why did you come back?"

Father Tang had just returned from an errand, his hands now holding a plump wild chicken with its long, colorful tail dragging on the ground, quite eye-catching.

"I was worried you’d be lonely at home by yourself, so I came back to check on you," said Tang Shu as she set down her backpack and handed him the scissors and dagger for slaughtering the chicken.

Father Tang harrumphed, his rugged face flushing slightly unnaturally while the corners of his mouth tugged upwards.

Obviously, his daughter’s words had pleased him.

"You’re rushing back tomorrow afternoon; you don’t mind the exhaustion."
