Compared with Little Zifeng, Jin Mai belongs to the hard - working type.
Her talent is not top - notch.
However, she has a good personality and extremely fast learning ability. She can also take on a wider range of roles.
Moreover, this girl has become more beautiful.
With the help of Young Master Cao, the eye bags that spoiled her beauty have long since disappeared, and it was a natural disappearance without any surgical intervention.
After entering university, the girl has become even more beautiful.
Last year, the drama "Cycle" skyrocketed her popularity, and she won the "Best Actress in a TV Series" award.
The award holds high prestige.
This drama...
It also underwent more in - depth adaptation and promotion.
It was a huge hit at the beginning of the year.
...
...
Needless to say about others. For example, Zhang Hanyun was among the first few to join the company, well, either the first or the second anyway...
She was brought up by Young Master Cao and sent to university by him.
She disappeared from the entertainment circle for several years.
When she reappeared, she instantly became a triple - threat artist in film, television, and music, and her strength was extremely strong.
So,
All in all,
Within the entire company, many artists are "well - known", and only Young Master Cao himself knows the real situation.
One can't help but sigh that some people are destined to be popular no matter in which timeline.
Unlike the Twelve Beauties, who have consumed so many resources but can only barely keep up with the popularity of these other artists.
Of course,
Cao Cheng doesn't regret investing so many resources in them.
After all, the sense of achievement here is extremely strong.
To put it bluntly, Cao Cheng made the Two Beauties from the Western Regions and several young artists famous, but the sense of achievement was not that great. He always felt that even without him, they would still be popular, and his role was just to give them a little push.
He couldn't really be considered their benefactor or a talent scout.
The Twelve Beauties are different.
These twelve girls were not well - known at all. They were completely selected from the general public.
Without Young Master Cao, they might have become behind - the - scenes staff for some singing and dancing shows.
Or become someone's mistress?
Maybe go back to their hometowns to become dance teachers or open dance training classes?
All these are possible.
But it's impossible for them to become popular across the Eastern Region.
So,
In Cao Cheng's view, the popularity of these twelve girls brings him a great sense of achievement.
Perhaps only Young Master Cao himself can truly understand this sense of achievement. Outsiders can't empathize with it, and Cao Cheng can't share it either.
But,
It's enough that he can feel it himself.
...
Speaking of this,
One can't help but mention Chaoyue, the lucky girl.
This girl has incredible luck.
She already has strong natural luck, and then, by leveraging the resources of the other eight sisters, she took off in one fell swoop.
She is also a variety show regular.
It seems that every variety show, whether it's an outdoor or an indoor one, wants to invite her to participate.
...
During this year's Spring Festival Gala,
More than half of the Twelve Beauties participated in the performance.
The nine - member group sang and danced. Of course, they didn't perform girl - group songs or dances.
Instead, they performed proper Chinese - style performances.
These nine girls are now the number one Chinese - style girl group in the country.
So,
Over the years, there have been quite a few girl groups debuting, and some of them have good strength, but they have never been able to shake the position of these nine girls.
After all, these nine girls are registered with the Ministry of Culture and have a certain status.
They also need to cooperate with the Ministry of Culture's publicity from time to time and participate in various large - scale programs.
This is their status.
This is their standing.
As for the Spring Festival Gala, they almost come every year.
It's just that Lin Zhi and a few others have never participated in the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year.
This is also a deliberate decision by the company.
Too much of a good thing can lead to a decline.
The fame of the Twelve Beauties is enough for them to support and bind each other. If all twelve of them participated... although it would make the fans excited for a while.
But after the excitement, it might easily lead to a decline from the peak.
The matter of luck is unpredictable.
So,
The Twelve Beauties have never appeared together on the Spring Festival Gala stage, even though the fans have been clamoring for it.
Even the director of the Spring Festival Gala thought it was a great gimmick and sent an invitation to Miracle Media.
But in the end, Miracle Media declined.
...
During this year's Spring Festival Gala,
Cao Cheng appeared in the audience seats again after a five - year absence.
Young Master Cao hasn't watched the show for many years.
Nor did he go to the rehearsals.
The third program this year featured eight of the Beauties and Chaoyue.
The camera flashed, and Young Master Cao was seen.
Young Master Cao was sitting in the front row.
It was just a one - second flash of the camera.
Then the Internet went crazy.
"Damn, am I seeing things? Is that Young Master Cao?"
"I saw it too. I thought I was hallucinating..."
"The program of the girl group is 'Heaven and Earth in One Color', and the camera showed Young Master Cao. Young Master Cao came to watch his own artists' performance... Why do I feel a bit touched?"
"Me too. Maybe it's because we haven't seen Young Master Cao for a long time."
"In the previous years, Young Master Cao was quite active. He would often post advertisements and promotions, promote the girls and other artists, and share photos of his meals and tea - drinking..."
"Also have some online spats with people in the circle, especially that 'Little Cannon'."
"No, he didn't."
"Yeah, Young Master Cao hasn't been showing up much lately."
"Is it just me, or does Young Master Cao look younger and younger? He should be around thirty by now, but he looks like a fresh college graduate, even younger than most college students."
"What's so strange about that? I have a buddy who's twenty-eight, and when he goes to the internet café, they still think he's a minor and won't let him in."
"Some people are just naturally ageless."
"Right, Sister Yazhi is still so beautiful."
"Come on! She's in her seventies. It's just that with makeup on camera, she looks like a mature woman. In reality, she's really showing her age."
"No, I saw her in person before. She does look a bit old."
"It's normal. At seventy-something, of course she's old."
"So it's normal for Young Master Cao to look young now. He must have put on some makeup for the camera. Besides, thirty is a great age."
...
"Am I the only one who's curious about why Young Master Cao disappeared for a few years and why he's suddenly back now?"
"What's there to be curious about? I think it's normal. Rich people tend to keep a low profile to avoid having haters call them show - offs."
"True."
"No, no, you don't understand my husband!"
At this time, an old and dedicated female fan spoke up. "I know him so well, girls. My husband never does anything without a reason. When he doesn't show up, he's probably just being lazy. But whenever he appears, it must be to promote or publicize something new."
Another "wife - fan" said, "No, no. My husband is really the kind of person who won't do anything unless there's a profit."
"Yes, as the saying goes, a fly won't light on an egg without a crack. When my husband shows up, he has an ulterior motive."
"Well... right. It's like a weasel paying a New Year visit to a chicken. He's either after money or something else."
"Everyone, be really careful..."
One after another, these old fans came out to share their views.
It left those fans who hadn't followed Cao Cheng in the past few years completely confused.
Later, people found out that Cao Cheng's fans were a mixed bunch. They might call themselves "wife - fans" one second, but stab him in the back the next.
None of them were nice.
Otherwise, who would be a fan of Young Master Cao?
This statement scared a lot of young fans. What a terrifying group they were!
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
