Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 898 - 427: A Storm of Gaining Fans

Ding Meng put a lot of effort to get Rong Xianning onto the reality show "Travelogue." All the young actresses have their eyes on this show since it brings three months of attention in just half a month. It significantly boosts their public recognition, and they can dress up nicely while traveling at public expense. For young actresses, this show is extremely cost-effective.

The guest lineup for "Travelogue" is comprised of three men and three women, each from different age groups. Typically, it’s a top actress in her forties plus a film emperor, a sexy star in her thirties plus a popular young actor, and a young starlet in her twenties plus a child star or idol-turned-actor.

This mix of three men and three women is not only visually appealing but also makes it easy to create on-screen couples, making it very beneficial for the show’s marketing.

This year’s guest list is younger compared to previous seasons. After finalizing the lineup, the director was thrilled, already imagining how the show would dominate trending topics once it’s aired.

"It was hard for me to get you this spot, so you can’t let me down. I trust you, you’ll definitely shine on the show."

Ding Meng kept nagging Rong Xianning, still not at ease, even offering to help him pack his bags.

Rong Xianning stopped her from opening the closet, "I’ll pack my luggage myself."

Ding Meng awkwardly withdrew her hands, "Alright then."

Seeing Rong Xianning’s stern face, Ding Meng advised, "I know you don’t like appearing on variety shows, but just this once, okay? Half a month will fly by, and it’s all-expenses-paid travel. You haven’t properly rested since your high school exams, take this chance to relax abroad."

Rong Xianning silently unzipped the suitcase.

Ding Meng received a text message and took a glance.

She had an insider in the production team who sent her the list of other guests.

Honestly, the most crucial aspect of joining a show is the guest list. Good chemistry leads to a good reputation. If it’s a group of troublemakers, she’s practically sending Rong Xianning to suffer; there are many examples of such things happening on reality shows. Too bad she didn’t have the time to investigate the other guests when she was desperately trying to secure a spot.

Now that everything’s settled, the insider sent over the complete guest list.

"Zhou Qing, not bad, a veteran actress almost out of the industry. I’ve heard she has a nice personality, very supportive of juniors, keeps the peace."

"Liang Ruofan, the youngest film emperor in Chinese-speaking regions, pretty low-key; should be easy to get along with."

"Chen Shucheng..."

Upon seeing the name, Ding Meng frowned, "What’s he doing here in the mix."

What a small world.

He Qian’s heavy marketing style is likely to overshadow Rong Xianning; she needs to be fully prepared.

Seeing the next name, Ding Meng frowned even more deeply.

"Sun Qianqian? This woman is surrounded by scandals, how did she make it onto this list."

Sun Qianqian, originally an internet celebrity, was initially cast as the female lead in the recent explosive drama "Carefree Guest." After the drama’s success, she stirred the pot, implying that Xiao Yue and Shen You’an bullied her and used connections to replace her as the female lead.

The production wasn’t having any of it and released behind-the-scenes clips of Sun Qianqian’s terrible acting, with stunt doubles for all action scenes, and her bossy behavior on set annoyed everyone.

The effect Sun Qianqian aimed for didn’t materialize and instead earned her widespread criticism, leading her disgraced exit from the internet.

Who would have thought that such a scandal-ridden star could squeeze into a popular high-profile variety show.

Ding Meng is genuinely worried that this woman might cling to Rong Xianning to stir drama. Celebrities who started as internet icons tend to have no limits and will do anything to gain fame.

But fortunately, Zhou Qing, the veteran actress, should be able to keep troublemakers in check.

Besides, He Qian should be the one concerned, as Rong Xianning’s still a minor. If Sun Qianqian really wants to stir drama, anyone could tell she’d likely target Chen Shucheng.

The last female star on the list was labeled as a secret, a surprise to be revealed in teasers.

Ding Meng couldn’t find out more, as the insider said the production team was kept under strict confidentiality.

Ding Meng wondered if the remaining female star might be a big name.

Judging by age, she should be around Rong Xianning’s age; at this age, no one should surpass Zhou Qing and Liang Ruofan in prominence. The production team is probably creating hype; a small figure placed by investors, with the team assisting in marketing.

The more Ding Meng thought about it, the more anxious she became. With this lineup, sending Rong Xianning in felt like sending a sheep into a lion’s den; she regretted allowing Rong Xianning to go.

But the contract was signed; it’s too late for anything now.

After Rong Xianning finished packing, Ding Meng felt faint suddenly.
