Chapter 126: Perfect Guidance! Becoming a Model Employee Starting Today?
Speaking of the Hall of Best Actresses, the moment Bai Ling chose to enter, the scenery around her began to shift.
Then she saw an awards stage before her.
Behind it sat countless spectators whose faces she could not make out. Some were dressed in suits, some in white coats, some in Republican-era attire, and some in tank tops and slippers.
There were so many of them that they seemed to encompass every kind of audience imaginable.
A hint of surprise crossed Bai Ling’s face at the sight.
She stepped onto the stage, and an immense amount of information appeared in her mind.
With a single thought, the stage from *I Am an Actor* materialized all around her once more—the live performance of *Moonlight Waltz*, her own piece from the show.
Only this time, it was even more vivid and realistic.
A number appeared before Bai Ling’s eyes:
**30,765!**
“Spending 1,000 points will allow a performance lasting up to ten minutes. The contents of the performance will be transformed into enhanced memories and stored in the host’s mind and body!”
“Every performance will be reviewed and scored by the audience. The host may choose to view each individual’s comments in order to refine and improve her acting!”
“Please perform diligently. Through the host’s achievements in acting, the number of points consumed by the Hall of Best Actresses will increase accordingly!”
“P.S. This hall will only open when the host is portraying female characters!”
At that moment, Bai Ling understood why the reward was called the Hall of Best Actresses.
In truth, this reward was remarkably similar to the Dimension KTV. One could rehearse, view evaluations, and make targeted improvements.
Compared with the Hall of Best Actresses, however, the Dimension KTV seemed like an experimental product—a defective one, even.
It had even given Bai Ling the chance to get several good songs for free.
The Hall of Best Actresses was different. It offered Bai Ling no opportunity to take advantage of the system, but it did give her the chance to improve her acting without limit, whenever and wherever she wished.
As the saying went, practice makes perfect, and diligence makes up for a lack of talent.
Bai Ling considered herself far from being a truly gifted actress.
At most, she had merely relied on the system’s assistance to outshine everyone else for the time being.
Regardless, she still needed genuine ability.
Otherwise, she might suffer a disastrous setback one day.
Given her current position in the entertainment industry, if she ever stumbled, those who looked down on her or disliked her might well drive her straight into the abyss.
Whether in her former life or this one, many celebrities and entertainers were like that.
Almost none of them could remain famous forever.
After all, anyone could make mistakes, suffer failures, or become embroiled in a storm of public opinion.
Even the so-called kings and queens of the entertainment world in her previous life had faced endless controversy before becoming famous, and their disputes had not ceased afterward.
Only with the backing of capital could one remain active on screen indefinitely.
Yet even with capital behind them, those without genuine talent and learning would still be despised by countless ordinary viewers.
They would be cast aside by the times.
Entertainment was a circle, and this circle placed extraordinary importance on social graces and worldly wisdom, as well as ability and knowledge.
Neither could be lacking!
That was why Bai Ling was extremely satisfied with this reward.
After spending 1,000 points, Bai Ling began to dance gracefully. It was the same Moonlight Waltz she had performed on the show.
A few minutes later, the dance came to an end. Beneath the stage, every spectator began to applaud.
Wherever Bai Ling looked, a white panel appeared above the head of nearly every faceless audience member. Line after line of text was written across it—each one a glimpse into their thoughts, each one a review of her performance.
On the other side of the stage, a number began to change.
With ten as the maximum, the overall score was **9.2**!
“Whew!”
“As expected…”
Through these evaluations, Bai Ling could identify her shortcomings. Perhaps one of her dance movements had not been perfect, or the tone of one line had been slightly too light.
Perhaps the emotion behind a certain sigh had not been conveyed well enough.
These tens of thousands of people were like tens of thousands of judges, finding Bai Ling’s flaws with astonishing precision and pointing them out one by one.
After leaving the Hall of Best Actresses, Bai Ling said to the system, “System, let’s discuss something.”
“I still have a few Acting Improvement Cards. Can you exchange them for some other rewards?”
The system fell silent.
Could it exchange things now?
After a long pause, the system replied, “The host’s cards have been exchanged for 30,000 Hall of Best Actresses points!”
Other rewards were impossible. Since the abilities were essentially connected, converting them directly into points was the most sensible option.
Bai Ling pursed her lips at that, but she could accept it.
After taking stock of everything, she lay down and enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep.
The next day, she went as promised to the rehearsal venue and joined several of her team members for practice.
It was called a rehearsal, but Bai Ling had other plans in mind.
After receiving the complete script and running through a few scenes with several senior actors, Bai Ling took her leave.
That was right—she had no intention of continuing with the rehearsals.
Most of the actors devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the program.
Some simply had personal habits and were not good at dividing their attention.
Others had no outside work and nowhere else to go if they skipped rehearsal.
Bai Ling, however, was different.
She now had the Hall of Best Actresses.
For only 1,000 points, she could receive comprehensive, master-level guidance.
Why waste time here?
With that time, she would be better off accepting a few more variety shows and making more money.
Just as she had thought the previous night, an entertainer needed both ability and capital.
She could use the system to hone her abilities, but…
What about connections and financial backing?
How was she supposed to obtain those?
Build relationships, attend banquets, and constantly network.
That was the traditional path.
Yet many entertainers, after becoming wildly popular, established their own studios, signed other artists, and invested in various projects, thereby becoming capital themselves.
They could then thrive in the industry.
Originally, Bai Ling had planned to invest in her younger brother, Bai Zihao, and turn him into a gaming tycoon.
That would make money far faster than working as an entertainer.
What could be easier than casually tricking people out of their New Year’s money?
But now that she thought about it, her brother did not seem especially promising.
Several weeks had passed, and he still had not become the richest man in the world.
Tsk, tsk.
Unable to wait that long, Bai Ling decided to become a workaholic instead.
She would accept programs as quickly as possible and earn as much money as she could.
When the time came, she could either use it for charity or establish her own studio. Either option would be perfectly fine.
That afternoon, Bai Ling was in the hotel and planning to have a serious discussion with Sister Ge about the matter.
Sister Ge, however, came looking for her first.
After all, Bai Ling had dominated the entire field the previous day, and even now, the buzz surrounding her showed no sign of fading.
As Bai Ling’s agent, how could Sister Ge not come to see the great contributor herself?
Of course, when Bai Ling opened the door, she found that Sister Ge was not the only one who had come in person.
Beside her stood Miaomiao and Xiangzi, both carrying a large stack of proposals, plans, and program offers.
End of chapter.
