Chapter 26: The Dominant Liu Shihua
All these women are goddesses, flirtatiously beautiful and seductively dangerous!
Liu Shihua sat in front of the dressing table, while a makeup artist was applying exquisite makeup on her, and Ye Chen dutifully stood guard in front of the big star, whereas Zhang Xinlan, the beautiful manager, was busy with who knew what.
The room housed over twenty dressing tables, each occupied by a top-tier beauty, all of whom were popular female stars in the entertainment industry. Besides them were the makeup artists styling these beauties.
Ye Chen looked over the goddesses and suddenly felt very superfluous!
It seemed like he was the only bodyguard in the room, surrounded by female artists, and even the makeup artists were women, and if there were male makeup artists, they were dressed flamboyantly. His presence as a man stood out starkly!
Sure enough, just as Ye Chen was about to leave, a grating voice rang out.
"Shihua, who is this man? He looks quite handsome, and has a good physique, isn't he a man kept by you?"
Liu Shihua's popularity was very high, with few scandals, yet here was someone accusing Liu Shihua of keeping a man!
If this claim were taken seriously, it could ruin Liu Shihua's reputation, and she would lose a lot of fans.
Clearly, the newcomer meant trouble, more foe than friend.
"Zhang Hanyu, get out!" Liu Shihua snapped.
The speaker was indeed Zhang Hanyu, a highly popular actress and Liu Shihua's longtime rival.
Zhang Hanyu was as famous as Liu Shihua, also one of the Four Young Beauties, a rare grand beauty!
However, they had similar images, walked the same path, hence their constant friction and fierce confrontations whenever they met!
Zhang Hanyu, in front of everyone, slandered her, how could Liu Shihua tolerate this?
"What is going on?"
Liu Shihua, a perfect goddess on screen, was friendly in private, yet now she exploded in rage, making Ye Chen wonder, what grudge, what grievance?
"Liu Shihua, you're a public figure, watch your words!" Zhang Hanyu exclaimed angrily.
She and Liu Shihua had been rivals for a long, but Liu Shihua was usually honest and seldom overreacted; what happened today?
"Zhang Hanyu, why do you target me at every turn? I know all too well, it's because you are envious, jealous, and hateful!" Liu Shihua suddenly stood up from her chair and faced Zhang Hanyu. "But, I sing better than you, I get more scripts than you, a major star whose films gross over a billion, streets ahead of you, disagree? Come fight me!"
Liu Shihua's defiance completely erupted as she pointed at Zhang Hanyu, her disdain palpable as she looked down on this equally popular actress among the Four Young Beauties.
"You, you, you!" Zhang Hanyu was so angry she couldn't speak, but what could she do, actually fight Liu Shihua?
The atmosphere weirdly quieted down.
Zhang Hanyu was an old-timer in the entertainment industry and one of the hottest actresses at the moment. However, Liu Shihua's qualifications were not at all inferior and were even stronger by three parts!
Both were leading actresses in the entertainment industry, and the situation indicated a total impossibility of reconciliation, making it difficult for the present celebrities to take sides rashly.
The celebrities present were just watching the show without commenting, even if some of them were friends with the two women, they all adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
As long as the two didn't resort to extreme violence like flesh and blood or taking lives, nobody would intervene, which was a consensus in the entertainment industry!
"These two are going to fight!"
When Ye Chen saw Liu Shihua's domineering attitude, his legs almost gave way in awe; his blood surged with excitement, damn! The entertainment industry was really too thrilling!
Ye Chen had seen shrews fighting and cursing, but he had never seen celebrities quarreling, especially such beautiful women; he wondered what kind of sparks would fly this time.
"Zhang Hanyu, if you dare to provoke me again, believe it or not, I will accept an interview and reveal all your secrets!"
Zhang Hanyu made her debut from a singing competition show, where she won the championship and then signed with a major entertainment company, gaining remarkable exposure and being recognized by countless people.
Zhang Hanyu's stardom had always been smooth sailing, but perhaps because she was too famous, there were many rumors about her. Some people said, despite Zhang Hanyu's innocent appearance, she had long been taken under the wing of a big boss; otherwise, how could a newcomer rise to fame so quickly.
"Liu Shihua, don't slander people!" Zhang Hanyu suddenly stood up, pointing at Liu Shihua's nose. "Don't think no one knows about your affairs. How could you, a newcomer without any company support, become so famous if not for being taken under the wing of a big boss!"
"This big star is naturally beautiful and wildly popular, being a miracle in itself, something you can't even imagine!" Liu Shihua said calmly and unhurriedly.
"Liu Shihua, believe it or not, I have the power to blacklist you!" Zhang Hanyu said furiously, making wild claims.
"Is that your ability to find men?" Liu Shihua scoffed.
"Get lost!" Zhang Hanyu trembled with rage.
"I really want to ask you one thing, do you know what your mother would think of you spoiling yourself like this?" Liu Shihua asked innocently.
"..."
Suddenly, Ye Chen felt that Liu Shihua's success today was no coincidence. This beautiful superstar had the capability and the bravery. She seemed reckless, but in fact, she had everything under control and was driving the development of events, just like today's altercation with Zhang Hanyu.
When Ye Chen had just been discharged from the military, full of vigor, he would lock himself in a tiny room and study these beauties from the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Ye Chen also knew a bit about the longstanding grievances between Liu Shihua and Zhang Hanyu.
Liu Shihua had debuted less than five years ago, rising like a comet, and was now about to reach the pinnacle of honor in the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hanyu had risen to fame through a singing competition, and with her innocent appearance and resonant voice, she had always had a great run in the entertainment industry. Moreover, Zhang Hanyu was a very ambitious woman; she had managed to hook up with many influential people, so over the years, she had become extremely popular and was definitely a top-tier star in the entertainment circle!
However, Liu Shihua's sudden emergence also obstructed her path to continued stardom, as Liu Shihua's style was extremely similar to hers! And Liu Shihua was even more innocent and beautiful, her singing voice was clearer and more moving, and with her considerable acting skills, she had made a name for herself in the film and television industry, surpassing Zhang Hanyu in every aspect!
