Chapter 73 He would always choose her without hesitation.
[The guest selection process has concluded.]
Please note your base stats.
[Popularity: .]
[This figure is for reference only and has no practical use. Please refer to national popularity data.]
No wonder this popularity value appears every time Su Qi's national popularity value increases; it turns out it's just there to serve as a foil.
[However, please note that the following events will require a popularity score as a reference.]
"why?"
Before anyone knew what was going on, Lynn suddenly drove over to pick up Su Qi: "Hey, hurry up, you have to participate in the voting too."
"what?"
Su Qi was shoved back into the car by Lynn: "Where to?"
"Glacier Park, didn't you see the notice? You're going there to participate in the preliminary voting."
"why?"
Su Qi is a minor celebrity with a name and a reputation. She could have just accepted the job internally, so why did she need to go through a public audition?
Lynn didn't even want to say, "That's how you got chosen last time, have you forgotten? The passersby only chose you because you're good-looking."
"Please, my dear sister, look at the situation clearly. With your current level of fame, how could a dating reality show invite you directly? If they were to invite someone, it would be someone like Zheng Xin."
Isn't that enough? Her popularity score has already exceeded 10,000.
The next second, a notification popped up on the screen: [Reminder: Zheng Xin's popularity score, Shen Qingyue's popularity score, Gu Xing's popularity score.]
[For reference only.]
Su Qi angrily shut off the screen. Seeing her self-destructive attitude, Lynn first scolded her: "You're still not happy? If you're not happy, then work hard to become a top star."
Just after she finished scolding, Lynn sighed and softened her tone: "Sigh, my Xiao Qi is also pitiful. She doesn't have a good family background to support her. Her adoptive parents even planted spies in the industry to monitor her. She has no connections and used to be frequently targeted by paid smear campaigns."
"He wasted the first year he entered the industry. If there hadn't been so many messy things, Shen Qingyue and Zheng Xin wouldn't have gotten there first."
Su Qi listened quietly and then roughly understood the original owner's predicament. Just as she had thought, the original owner was not a female celebrity with bad behavior; it was all because of malice from inside and outside the industry.
Upon arriving at the audition venue, Su Qi was immediately surrounded by people as soon as she got out of the car; some recognized her.
Even if it's still a flop, it's much better than before. Lynn smiled with relief: "It's a good thing. Last time you came to participate in the audition, there wasn't a single stranger around who could help you."
"Xiao Qi? It's Xiao Qi."
"Is Sister Xiaoqi also participating in the audition?"
A little girl took off running towards her.
Most people who follow the entertainment industry are teenagers in their teens and twenties, so Su Qi didn't expect to gain such a young fan, who looks only eight or nine years old.
Su Qi squatted down and gently stroked the little girl's head: "Well, I'm going to participate in the audition later, can you vote for me?"
"Okay."
Su Qi took a piece of chocolate out of his purse and gave it to the little girl, then patted her head and said, "Go on."
She had just stood up when a black luxury car pulled up behind her.
The man saw this scene through the car window, then smiled, his sparse hair falling over his thin lips.
As soon as Shen Chaohuai got out of the car, he teased, "I didn't expect that you, who are usually so cold and indifferent to everyone, would be so gentle with children."
Su Qi ignored it, turned around and looked at the large screen displaying her own image; voting had already begun.
"What are you here for?"
Shen Chaohuai even blurted out, "I'll vote for you."
Su Qi shrugged: "We're not familiar with each other."
The thought of Shen Chaohuai's outburst to her last time made her feel nauseous and gave her goosebumps whenever she saw him.
Shen Chaohuai's shoulder twitched: "Maybe I can help you cast the crucial vote."
There were 10 people who came to participate in the on-site audition, but they were all relatively unknown lower-level artists.
The dating reality show will select a total of 8 people. One male celebrity and one female celebrity were predetermined, while the other 6 will be selected through the selection process.
Xiang Zhouzhou has already made her decision, so there are only 5 spots left, which can be divided into 3 female artists and 2 male artists.
Su Qi didn't recognize some of the artists on the selection list, but she was very familiar with several others: Xu Xiaowan, He Yizhen, and Jiang Ze.
Wait a minute?! Jiang Ze?
When Shen Chaohuai saw this person's image and name appear on the selection screen, he was also taken aback.
As members of the empire, who doesn't know Jiang Ze?
That incident involving Su Qi's sister caused a great uproar throughout the entire empire.
Jiang Ze is Su Qi's sister's ex-boyfriend. The news of Fu Changheng and Su Qi's sister's engagement spread throughout the intergalactic world. Jiang Ze once cried and knelt down to beg Su Qi to help him find his father to retract his decision.
The key point is that Jiang Ze on the big screen looks exactly like Jiang Ze from the Empire.
Su Qi looked at Shen Chaohuai and suddenly realized that Shen Chaohuai and Fu Changheng were in the same situation, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Could it be that it's not the same person? Just like Shen Chaohuai in front of me.
But why is the person on the big screen also named Jiang Ze?
Feifei retrieves the information.
[Don't worry, Master, we've found it.]
This male celebrity, Jiang Ze, is a retired actor.
[This is so funny, haha, he used to specialize in war films.]
"Retire?" Su Qi didn't understand. "You seem quite young to be retiring?"
Yes, the entertainment industry in the new country prioritizes popularity. Artists without popularity will retire early. It seems Jiang Ze is in the same boat. War films don't generate much buzz; they're just historical films, so the audience is much smaller than other commercial entertainment products.
Su Qi understood: "Hmm, it seems this war film is another example of a bad investment."
That's right! So, the owner absolutely must not act in war movies!
Su Qi: "That's not the point. Do you have any way to help me smoothly get the gigs on this dating reality show?"
[It's simple, the owner only needs to get 5th place in popularity to barely make the cut.]
[Popularity analysis in progress...]
[Sorry, Master, in the preliminary rankings, you are currently ranked sixth out of ten artists.]
what? !
Su Qi clenched her chin and began to seriously consider countermeasures.
Shen Chaohuai, who was standing to the side, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't know why she was talking to herself and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
Moments later, as the voting was about to end, each artist's ranking was displayed on the big screen.
Once the rankings stabilized, Jiang Ze was in first place, Xu Xiaowan was in second place, and Jian Yuxi was in third place.
Su Qi didn't recognize Jian Yuxi at all. Fei Fei searched for information and found that he was a popular young actor who had recently become a hit after starring in a youth drama.
As for the fourth and fifth place winners, neither of them were Su Qi, nor were they people Su Qi knew.
He Yizhen came with people from Shen Chaohuai's company. When she saw that she wasn't even fifth place, she quickly begged Shen Chaohuai to vote for her.
After all, He Yizhen could have been selected for the variety show by just one vote.
Su Qi looked closely and realized that she had the same number of votes as He Yizhen.
Moreover, the votes for fourth and fifth place were the same as those for Su Qi and He Yizhen.
This means that if just one person steps forward and casts an extra vote, Su Qi will be selected.
The host asked, "Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to vote? This is your last chance!"
Lynn said helplessly, "Our team voted for Xiao Qi, but it's still not enough."
Shen Chaohuai didn't even glance at He Yizhen; his gaze was fixed on Su Qi.
He took out a piece of paper, and the host handed him a pen. He slowly extended one hand from his pocket, blocking the host, and then took the pen clipped to his chest from his pocket.
He pressed the button, leaned forward, and the wisps of hair on his forehead obscured his charming, narrow eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
He Yizhen thought she had it all figured out and was about to ask Su Qi for some feigned comfort when, to her surprise, Su Qi's ranking jumped to fourth place the next second.
