Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 83
Song Miaomiao was pulled several times before she snapped back to her senses and lowered her head to look at the poster.
The passerby girl pointed to the opposite side of the road and slowly said, word by word with her lips, “Let me help you cross.”
“That!” Song Miaomiao spoke incoherently, grabbing the passerby’s hand, pointing to the huge poster. “That! That, him! What’s his name?”
She could talk! She could see the poster! She could ask questions! She wasn’t dumb, blind, or deaf.
Song Miaomiao’s voice was anxious and trembling, saying, “Please tell me, who is the boy on the poster?”
It turned out to be a star-struck fan. A fan who, upon seeing the poster, dropped everything in her hands and didn’t even bother to cross the road.
The passerby girl stuffed Song Miaomiao’s shopping bag into her hand, her expression tinged with disdain. “You don’t even know him?”
Song Miaomiao repeated anxiously, “Who is he? Tell me who he is?”
The passerby girl replied, “He’s Xu Nanfang!”
“Xu Nanfang, Xu Nanfang…” Song Miaomiao repeated the name several times.
So, the world also had him!
The passerby girl urged, “If you’re not busy, hurry up and cross the road, you’re holding up traffic.”
With a genuine smile, she added, “You’re welcome.”
Song Miaomiao rushed across the road and eagerly took out her mobile phone to search for the name “Xu Nanfang”.
Xu Nanfang
Occupation: Actor
Birthday: XXXXXXXXX
Age: 28 years old
Personal information: 183cm/62kg/O type
Representative works: “Goodbye”, “On the Road”, “Future You”
Introduction: Xu Nanfang graduated from…
Song Miaomiao had forgotten how she got back home that day, only recalling that she spent three days researching everything about him.
Xu Nanfang, a graduate of China’s top film and television academy, had been toiling in the entertainment industry for nearly eight years. Initially, he didn’t land leading roles; most of his parts were as the second male lead, often receiving minimal recognition. Only in TV movies did he secure lead roles. However, two years ago, because of his excellent performance in a period drama where he portrayed his character vividly, he garnered a significant following for both his beauty and acting prowess, ultimately becoming an internet sensation.
Overnight, Song Miaomiao found a new direction in life.
She had lost motivation during the bottleneck period of weight loss, but now she had found it again! This was true motivation!
Even if she didn’t have a specific goal to enter the entertainment industry, she resolved to work hard. If she couldn’t become an actress and work alongside him, she could aim to become an assistant or something similar.
She downloaded all the movies and TV shows that Xu Nanfang had appeared in, and pinned them up in front of her. During her workouts at the gym, whether on the elliptical machine or the stationary bike, she would watch them intently, sometimes exercising for hours without even realizing it. And at night, she would use the system Oppa to project them onto her retina for viewing before falling asleep.
Song Miaomiao broke through that bottleneck period by making up for lost time, and her weight dropped from 146 catties to 120 catties. With a height of 169 cm, she no longer looked as bloated as before.
The coach at the gym was considering turning her transformation into a commercial.
However, Song Miaomiao declined the coach’s request to take pictures. In reality, she was feeling quite distressed. While her weight had decreased, her skin had become loose. Song Miaomiao knew that it would take a considerable amount of time to tighten it up. Some people even opt for surgical procedures to remove excess skin after significant weight loss.
The coach suggested to her that in the next phase, she should focus on a combination of anaerobic and aerobic exercises. Of course, the coach also recommended some private sessions.
The points from the previous world still remained with her.
Thinking of Yi Qing, Song Miaomiao felt a wave of sadness wash over her once again.
The money that Fang Zhenxin had brought was already spent during Song Miaomiao’s tough times. She exchanged part of the points into money, with one point being equivalent to two yuan. Using these points, she exchanged 20,000 yuan for rent and daily expenses. After deducting the points spent on downloading Xu Nanfang’s movies and TV shows, she was left with only 1300 points.
Of course, 20,000 yuan wasn’t enough to afford many private sessions. She could only afford ten sessions, mainly focused on correcting her body shape. After each class, she continued with aerobic exercises. Her face had started to resemble her previous self more closely, but it still retained some excess flesh and appeared somewhat square.
There were drums pounding in her chest. It was estimated that Fang Zhenxin’s weight loss journey wouldn’t be much different from her own, although Fang Zhenxin was taller and had a smaller head. Despite this, Song Miaomiao still possessed a certain degree of self-awareness about her appearance. At just 90 catties, she was truly camera-ready. But was she qualified to be an actress?
Right now, Song Miaomiao was solely focused on breaking into the entertainment industry as quickly as possible. Seeing Xu Nanfang, she cared little for the mission. After all, the goal of this world was to become the movie queen. There was no harm in making thorough preparations; perhaps it would even enhance the plot.
Therefore, during this period, Song Miaomiao had been diligently working on one thing: sending resumes to talent agencies and production crews everywhere. However, her resumes had to include her own educational background and related work experience. Fang Zhenxin had majored in environmental engineering, and she had no background in the performing arts. Furthermore, she lacked any relevant work experience.
On her resume, Song Miaomiao’s weight remained at 120 pounds. It wasn’t that this weight was bad, but in the world of showbiz where everyone was super petite, having that weight offered no advantage for being on camera. Even stars with resources who were slightly heavier could still land roles, but they would inevitably struggle to stand out.
In order to familiarize herself with the working environment, Song Miaomiao began going to places where production crews recruited extras every morning before dawn, patiently waiting for opportunities. She could only take on minor roles initially, often portraying corpses or background passersby without even a hint of makeup.
She avoided the box lunches provided by the crew, opting instead to bring her own lunch box filled with boiled vegetables each day.
