TPH Chapter 1.1

The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 1] Chapter 1.1: Entertainment Circle Vase (1)

“Sister Su Man, are you okay?”

Xiao Han just came to her senses and found herself in a modern film set, with filming equipment and busy staff not far away. She was sitting in the shade in the corner, and the young girl next to her was holding a bottle of mineral water, seeming to be whispering to comfort herself.

Thinking of what she just said, Xiao Han hummed softly, then lowered her eyes and began to think about the memory of the identity she was wearing this time.

Assistant Xiao Xia saw that Su Man looked distraught. The director scolded her for three or four days in front of the entire crew. The director even asked her questions like “Do you know how to act?” It was no wonder that Su Man was so devastated.

At this time, a staff member came and said with a stern face, “The director said that we won’t be filming Su Man’s scene this afternoon. It will be postponed for two days.”

Although assistant Xiao Xia was unhappy with his attitude, she could not afford to offend the crew members for the sake of her own artist. She knew that there had been a lot of rumors in the crew in the past few days.

She could only ask in a friendly way, “When will Sister Su Man’s scene be scheduled?”

The staff member was a little impatient, “You should ask the director. It’s up to the director to decide who gets to film which scene. It’s not your turn to choose.”

Xiao Xia choked. Not to mention her, even her artist Su Man didn’t dare to go directly to the director and ask when her scene would be filmed.

In fact, Su Man is a third-tier female star, not an eighteen-tier little transparent one. Why would an ordinary staff member be so arrogant in front of her? It is because Su Man is a well-known vase in the entertainment circle, with beauty but no acting skills. Now she has offended the director and the actor. Most of the crew members are fence-sitters who flatter the powerful and trample on the weak. When the director and the male lead, who have great say in the crew, showed their dislike and indifference to Su Man, they naturally followed suit and trampled on Su Man.

Assistant Xiao Xia wanted to say something, but was unexpectedly stopped by Su Man, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”

Xiao Han just reviewed the memories of the original owner Su Man. Since there was nothing going on here, there was no need to stay any longer. She had to sort out her current situation when she returned.

It was a bit strange that Su Man left so readily, or maybe she knew she was embarrassed and couldn’t stay any longer. The staff laughed in their hearts, everyone knew that Su Man got in through the relationship with the movie emperor Ji Yanhuai, but judging from Ji Yanhuai’s attitude, this kind of vase with only good looks wouldn’t last long.

On the set, a girl holding a script had a half-bun hairstyle, which was popular nowadays. She looked gentle, soft, delicate and charming, which made people easily like her. When she heard what people around her said, she was a little surprised, “Sister Su Man went back.”

“Well, her scene is not being filmed today and has been pushed back. The director asked the staff to inform her.”

The person who spoke was the third female member of the crew, Mo Yan, who played a role that was almost a bystander. At this moment, she gloated, “It’s good that she left. With her acting skills, she won’t be a burden to the entire crew.”

The girl, the second female lead Pei Yiren, frowned slightly and bit her lip. “Director Zhang was just speaking in anger. He wanted to be stricter. Sister Su Man should just apologize to the director and say a few soft words. How can she just leave like that?”

It’s not normal to leave when there’s no role to play. This is the norm for celebrities when filming.

But if someone heard this, it would seem that Su Man was deliberately acting like a big shot, and that she got angry and left after being scolded, and she might even have resentment towards the director.

“Hmph, isn’t it just relying on her relationship with movie star Ji Yanhuai?” Mo Yan said indignantly.

People of the same sex repel each other, which is especially evident when there are beautiful people of the same sex around you. Even though Su Man is not such an ostentatious person, her beauty naturally makes people feel distant, and they subconsciously reject her. Deep down in her heart, Mo Yan is unwilling to admit that there is also a little jealousy.

She was jealous of Su Man for having such a gifted appearance and being able to enter the entertainment industry smoothly.

She is also jealous of the relationship between Su Man and movie star Ji Yanhuai.

Su Man is the girlfriend of movie emperor Ji Yanhuai. Even though it has not been officially announced to the public, it has not been denied. Their relationship is well known to people inside and outside the circle. Except for the movie emperor’s large number of fans who dislike Su Man and always think that Su Man is a vase not worthy of their male god, they would never admit this fact.

Mo Yan was no exception. All the female artists in this circle had some erotic thoughts about Ji Yanhuai, so she subconsciously disliked Su Man even more. She also thought about Pei Yiren’s words according to her subjective disgust and prejudice towards Su Man.

…

Xiao Han and his assistant Xiao Xia returned to the hotel room. This was a big production crew, and the hotels they booked were all five-star. The original owner was treated quite well, after all, she was the heroine.

The crew booked two or three floors. She met some crew members on the way to the elevator, but no one came up to say hello, as if they ignored Su Man.

The original owner’s fragile heart might be hurt by this situation, but for Xiao Han, who didn’t even understand the situation, it didn’t hurt at all.

After entering the room, assistant Xiao Xia said, “Sister Su Man, you take a rest first. I’ll ask the hotel to send up lunch.”

Xiao Xia was an assistant assigned by the original owner’s company. Although she had less experience than Su Man and was just a newcomer who had been there for half a year and had little experience, she was very serious and hardworking.

After assistant Xiao Xia left, Xiao Han leaned back on the soft sofa and closed her eyes to think about the world information transmitted by the system.

Xiao Han is not from this world. In fact, she doesn’t know her true origins. Her initial memories are blank. She is a person without a past. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was 9526, which was bound to her as the host and called itself the system.

System 9526 accompanied her through one world after another, and sometimes accompanied her on missions to fulfill the wishes or obsessions of the original owner of the identity she traveled through and achieve perfection.

Reborn under someone else’s identity to fulfill others’ wishes.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

9526 once comforted her by saying that once her score reached a certain level or she contacted the Space-Time Bureau, she might be able to recover her memory and find out her true origins.

In fact, Xiao Han was not so persistent in pursuing the root memory. Instead, she liked every life she traveled through. She could learn a lot, countless knowledge, skills and abilities, meet all kinds of people, all kinds of complex and entangled flesh-and-blood emotions, understand the rules of the world, and what is good and evil.

She seemed to have never had these things before, so she was full of curiosity about them all. She learned and absorbed all the skills and was willing to play the chosen role in every stage of life.

This time Xiao Han also naturally accepted the identity of crossing.

This is a world dominated by the entertainment industry. The original owner, Su Man, is 25 years old this year. She is a “famous” female star in the circle. The outside world generally evaluates her as having beauty but terrible acting skills.
