Li Shuyue is a second-tier actress, no doubt a beauty, and her skills shouldn't be underestimated either.
But as netizens often say, a little fame relies on support, while big fame relies on fate.
In almost a decade since her debut, she has appeared in countless films and TV shows, and you'd think she'd be a recognizable face by now, but she hasn't won any significant awards.
After receiving an audition invitation from Director Ming, Li Shuyue thoroughly read the script, felt fully confident, and decided to secure the role of Hou Yue to compete for next year's Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Coconut Awards.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to arrive at the audition hall, Director Ming called her, saying the actress for Hou Yue had already been decided.
If she had auditioned and her performance wasn't as good as the others and she got cut, she'd accept that she was outmatched.
But now, it was clear someone used insider connections to secure that role.
