CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 463: BEST ACTRESS 30

But this survival game is completely different. For one, there’s no mischief involved; the show is wildly popular, and participating celebrities can easily become famous.

Of course, because it’s live-streamed, it also makes it easy for celebrities to inadvertently expose traits that audiences dislike, which can lead to a sharp drop in popularity. For instance, a once-popular star who dragged someone down a slope with them was scorned by viewers to the point that they couldn’t stay in the entertainment industry.

However, compared to the celebrities who became famous through this show, stars who self-sabotaged and caused their own popularity to plummet are quite rare, and if they weren’t lacking in intelligence, such situations wouldn’t occur. Jin An doesn’t think Shuangshuang is foolish.

Shuangshuang has always been dedicated when shooting movies, so she doesn’t mind the hardships of filming this variety show. Despite Jin An having warned her in advance about how arduous participating in the show would be, and even though many celebrities shy away from joining due to the challenging nature of the survival game, Shuangshuang still accepted the invitation to the game without hesitation.

Shuangshuang is very grateful for Jin An’s sincere effort on her behalf. Although many celebrities view this show with apprehension and dare not participate, even more celebrities wish to join. Gaining an opportunity to enter such a popular show isn’t an easy feat, even for a top agent like Jin An.

Although Shuangshuang is able to participate in the survival game show, the celebrity guests for the next two episodes have been confirmed, meaning she has to wait for two months before joining. She’s not opposed to this, in fact, she’s quite pleased.

Shuangshuang realizes she doesn’t have many wilderness survival skills, so joining the survival game now might hold her back or lead to less-than-ideal performance. With these two months available as a buffer, she intends to seize this opportunity to hire a wilderness survival instructor for special training.

For Shuangshuang to proactively seek a teacher to thoroughly learn wilderness survival skills, to avoid being a drag on the show and getting scolded by viewers, Jin An fully supports this idea.

It’s known that a past female celebrity participant of the survival game was overly delicate, holding back her team throughout the show and being scolded continuously by viewers, causing her to drop from a top-tier star to a fourth-tier and struggle to regain her popularity.

Jin An has promoted many celebrities. Although their personalities vary, they all share a common trait: they can endure hardships and are willing to work hard.

An actor’s poor skills don’t matter as long as they are determined to practice hard. It doesn’t matter if they lack skill; if they are willing to exert effort to learn, this is a necessary quality for fame.

Jin An found Shuangshuang a teacher who is a former special forces soldier, now a wilderness survival instructor at an outdoor survival club. This instructor is tall and handsome, standing in front of Shuangshuang like a javelin, exuding an air of military style!

To ensure she quickly masters wilderness survival, Shuangshuang made it clear in advance to her instructor not to go easy on her. The special forces instructor looked at Shuangshuang with a complex expression, clearly doubting that such a beautiful and delicate-looking celebrity could handle the hardships.

Shuangshuang had to repeatedly insist on strict training according to real wilderness survival standards. Besides, her payment was generous, so the instructor eventually agreed. As a result, Shuangshuang found herself being exhaustively trained by the special forces instructor who didn’t understand the concept of going easy on her.

On just the first day, carrying a huge backpack on a day-long trek in the wild took half of Shuangshuang’s life. Then she followed her instructor around to identify poisonous plants, recognize edible wild vegetables, and, without available water, find water sources in the wild or plants that could substitute for water.

In addition, there was finding food, setting traps for wild chickens, various methods of catching and gathering fish, identifying wild fruits, and even learning how to eat insects to survive, including distinguishing which insects were edible—this expanded Shuangshuang’s mind tremendously.

After the first-day training ended, Shuangshuang woke up aching all over as if she would come apart; her blistered feet couldn’t touch the ground, and she only wanted to collapse under her backpack. Yet, today’s task from the special forces instructor was even tougher: to climb a mountain with a backpack, which didn’t take long for Shuangshuang’s legs to cramp.

There was no choice; Shuangshuang had to sit down and rest for a bit before continuing upward, while the instructor only ensured her safety and, following her request, trained her relentlessly.

By the time Shuangshuang and her instructor finished training and finally emerged from the mountains, she could see long, elegant muscle lines whenever she exerted strength, which amazed her as she gazed at herself in the mirror for ages!

Shuangshuang is different from other girls; while girls usually love softer, tender bodies with soft, touchable flesh, Shuangshuang prefers a powerful stature, like a leopard’s physique.

Of course, she doesn’t fancy bodybuilder muscles from the gym. Shuangshuang likes the kind that only reveals definition under tension, much like her own figure at the moment.

With just ten days before she’s on the survival game show, and having settled payment with the instructor, Shuangshuang felt quite pleased. In contrast, Jin An looked at her sun-darkened, tanned skin and seemed distressed, his brows knitting tightly together.

Shuangshuang felt slightly embarrassed, recalling that before the training, Jin An had repeatedly reminded her to take care of her face. But due to the exhaustion post-training, she only wanted to sleep and forgot all about it, only remembering when Jin An looked at her face, making her feel quite guilty.

Jin An stared at Shuangshuang’s face for a long time before he couldn’t hold back and coldly snorted, "I’ve never seen a female celebrity as reckless as you. Even male celebrities take better care of their skin than you do, and I’ve been chasing you around for skincare even in the usual days. Now you’ve mangled your face like this; look at how dark you’ve gotten! If you go out at night without streetlights, I wouldn’t even spot you. Have you forgotten you’re a celebrity who makes a living with your looks? If you ruin your face, I wonder how you’ll act in movies."

"Without a face, I’ll rely on my skills. After all, I’m all about talent," Shuangshuang couldn’t help but murmur softly, lowering her head.

Lately, her wild adventures in the mountains with the special forces instructor had been excessive, especially since that instructor was quite sarcastic. Whenever Shuangshuang was too worn out to persist, he’d criticize her sharply.
