Cao Jiarui has been the focus of attention in the village since she was a child, and her beauty and temperament seem to be born with a halo. Her every movement, every look, has attracted everyone's attention, and she is affectionately praised as "tomorrow's star" by her neighbors. She yearns for the prosperous life of the big city, and whenever she has relatives returning from the city, she always gazes enviously at the fashionable atmosphere exuded by them.
The title of "Rising Star" took root in her heart like a seed, and gradually grew into a towering tree. Her love for acting is growing day by day, and she is eager to one day stand in front of the screen and bring a touch of glory to her hometown with her talent and charm.
Finally, she stepped into the entertainment industry of her dreams, and at that time, she was innocent and full of curiosity, and she knew nothing about the rules in the circle. However, it was this innocence that made her receive a special request from the director during the audition - to appear without makeup. She did not flinch, bravely accepted the challenge, conquered everyone present with her truest self, and won the opportunity to star in the TV series "Ma Dashuai".
Zhao Benshan, the famous director, personally invited her to join the team by name, and her future seems bright. However, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are like an invisible net, shrouded in this seemingly glamorous circle. Qi Wei and Li Xian, two equally talented actors, have both suffered varying degrees of blows due to their refusal to the unspoken rules.
Cao Jiarui also faced the same challenge. An investor became interested in her and tried to achieve his own goals through Zhao Benshan. Although Zhao Benshan is well aware of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, he still sticks to the bottom line and tries to convey the requirements of investors in a gentle way. However, Cao Jiarui is keenly aware of the subtlety.
She stands at a crossroads in her life and faces difficult choices. She understands that if she compromises, she will betray her principles and dignity, but if she refuses, she may lose her career opportunities. After much deliberation, she resolutely chose to refuse. She firmly believes that only by sticking to her principles and dignity can she gain a foothold in the complex world of the entertainment industry.
Although Cao Jiarui's choice made her career fall into a trough temporarily, her firmness and bravery have won the admiration of more people. She proved with her actions that in this seemingly glamorous entertainment industry, there are still people who are willing to fight to the end for principle and dignity.
