Chapter 1315 1313: Sorrow
"Lin Lu, have you forgotten the promise you made to everyone when you debuted?" Niu Rong looked at Lin Lu with a cold gaze.
Promise?
"What promise?" Someone asked in confusion.
"Hmph, Lin Lu, when you debuted, you already announced that you would stay single for your entire life, right?" Niu Rong looked at Lin Lu and asked.
Lin Lu froze upon hearing this.
Indeed, she had made such a promise.
During the time she debuted, it was a special period.
Especially for celebrities.
They would usually remain single.
Even if they were married, they would hide it.
The reason was to prevent disappointing their fans.
After all, no matter how beautiful a female celebrity is,
if she gets married,
fans would inevitably feel unhappy.
And Lin Lu followed a pure and innocent path.
So when she debuted, the company, for promotional purposes,
made that promise in front of all the media.
That she would remain single for her entire life.
One could say that this promise had a significant impact on Lin Lu becoming the nation's goddess in the hearts of all men in a short time.
Of course, her own strength was also quite strong.
A talented woman with high scores in looks and figure who announced she'd stay single her whole life,
gave fans plenty of room for imagination.
It was almost guaranteed that she would explode in popularity in a short time.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, many celebrities do the same.
Even male celebrities would hide the fact that they were married.
But that was a few years ago.
When Lin Lu was just starting out.
Now, regarding celebrities' marriages, fans have become much more accepting.
After all, celebrities are also human beings.
They also have emotions and desires, and the right to be husbands and wives.
Why can't celebrities get married?
Thus, some celebrities started to make their marriages public.
Unexpectedly,
not only did their popularity not decrease, it even increased.
Especially when a well-known celebrity marries a less-known one, it can significantly boost the latter's popularity.
Having tasted this sweetness,
celebrities started to reveal their marital status widely.
Those not married would have grand ceremonies.
Holding a wedding casually could cost billions.
Afraid that the whole world wouldn't know.
Moreover,
some producers,
in order to boost movie or TV show popularity,
would forcibly pair the male and female leads together.
Reveal that they got married in real life.
Then the movie would sell greatly.
This has become a promotional tactic.
In today's era,
the entertainment industry no longer advocates for celebrities to remain single; rather, it actively promotes them pairing up to enhance each other's popularity.
So even if Lin Lu's marriage was exposed now, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Did Lulubear really make such a promise?"
"That's great, if the goddess stays single, then I'm willing to stay single for her for life!"
"Big love for the goddess!"
"..."
The promise Lin Lu made when she debuted wasn't known to everyone.
After all, a celebrity's popularity accumulates.
It's like a snowball effect.
The true explosion of her fame,
was actually within the last year.
Especially after that kidnapping live stream,
her popularity skyrocketed.
Although people are more accepting of celebrities' marriages now,
learning that their beloved goddess intends to stay single still feels pretty wonderful.
"Heh, do you still think she's your pure and innocent girl? Don't be foolish, she's had a man long ago!" Niu Rong sneered as people were lost in their beautiful fantasies about the goddess.
"Niu Rong, do you know what you're saying?" Yan Ling said with a dark expression.
His eyes were filled with threatening intent.
Looking at Yan Ling's threatening expression,
Niu Rong sneered and said, "Yan Ling, I know what you mean, yes, Lin Lu is the company's cash cow, and I shouldn't provoke her. Once I do, the company will shelve me, even terminate my contract, right?"
"But so what? Rather than living in her shadow and being her foil, I might as well not be a star at all."
"The hard work, the efforts, the price I Niu Rong paid, are ten times that of hers, why should she enjoy such glory, why do you all like her so much? In what way am I, Niu Rong, worse?"
"Today I just want you to know, your pure and innocent goddess, is no different from an ordinary woman; she wants a man too."
"..."
Niu Rong's emotions were incredibly agitated.
Anyway, by doing this, she would definitely anger the entertainment company.
She would absolutely be shelved, maybe even banned.
In that case,
there's nothing to be afraid of.
If she really becomes popular,
without relying on an entertainment company,
she could still manage better on her own.
There are two kinds of celebrity fame: one nurtured by entertainment companies,
and one that rises on its own.
No matter how it comes about,
as long as they're famous,
they can create commercial value.
This time, she and Lin Lu have completely broken down.
And it might even lead to a full break with the entertainment company.
Surely it will make the headlines.
Her popularity would surely surge.
Of course, it could be negative popularity.
But still, negative popularity is also popularity.
If she handles it well, maybe it could even turn into positive popularity.
"Do you know? We celebrities may look glamorous, but behind it all, how much effort, how much sacrifice do we make?
To be famous, it's not just about having a pretty face or a great figure, you also need to be smart and obedient; the Director's words are like imperial orders.
Do you think female celebrities are born humble?
No, they're not!
It's just that they have no choice.
If you're not smart, not obedient, if you don't accept unspoken rules, then no matter how well you sing, how beautiful you look, how good your acting is, it's all useless!
Especially for female celebrities like us, without backgrounds, the path is incredibly rough. I can say without exaggeration, when I first entered the entertainment industry, I lived worse than a dog.
I've endured so much hardship and effort, finally achieving what I have now. I believe my singing, acting, looks, and figure are no less than Lin Lu's!
But why does she get all the good gigs?
Good dramas, good movies, good resources, all landing on her?
