Chapter 171: True Aristocratic Elegance
[A female celebrity with a personality like Yun Fu is truly rare. Honestly speaking, I've just become a fan.]
[Is it really that hard to admit when someone else is excellent? Anyway, I think Yun Fu's acting was genuinely wonderful. At least she made me empathize with her.]
[Me too. There aren't many actors nowadays who can truly resonate with the audience. Although Yun Fu currently has only one role presented to us, I believe that given time, she will definitely become an outstanding actress.]
Because of this live broadcast, netizens spent a full hour watching the filming process, witnessing a bustling set, dedicated actors, and Yun Fu's acting skills.
Qiao An seized this opportunity to launch a brilliant promotional campaign alongside the fans, earning Yun Fu even wider recognition.
During the noon break, the livestream continued.
The viewers watched as Yun Fu naturally picked up a boxed meal, walked over to the chair prepared for her by the crew, and began eating with a calm expression.
Some actors nearby greeted her as they passed, while others merely smiled, but everyone treated it as completely normal.
It was then that the audience in the livestream realized just how special Yun Fu truly was.
Among the celebrities currently being broadcasted, Xi Rouer and Gu Haoyuan were also filming on set, yet both of them stayed inside their private luxury motorhomes, or at the very least, inside private tents.
Only Yun Fu, just like all the background extras, casually sat on a simple chair with nothing overhead except a single sunshade.
Crucially, they also discovered that this film crew was quite extraordinary; almost every actor on set was like this. They would chat with the extras and crew members, sitting together and eating the exact same boxed meals, making it impossible to tell any difference in their status.
[For some reason, this just fills me with such deep emotion. Both are female leads, yet one only treats herself to be an actress, while the other seems to regard herself solely as a star.]
[Actually, actors like Yun Fu are few and far between. Perhaps largely because of her influence, the atmosphere in their crew is exceptionally harmonious.]
[What should I do? Now I am even more looking forward to the movie produced by this loving crew.]
[Pardon me, but I am now officially a fiercely loyal fan of Yun Fu.]
This kind of live broadcast stripped away the filters, brutally magnifying and exposing the most authentic side of a celebrity directly to the audience.
Any minor flaw would be infinitely magnified. If your actual behavior didn't match your public persona, things would be even worse.
Conversely, your strengths would also be magnified infinitely.
Yun Fu was clearly the latter.

Throughout the three days and two nights of live broadcasting, Yun Fu presented the image of a disciplined, dedicated, outstanding, and modest actress.
This contrasted sharply with the cold and aloof demeanor she usually projected, prompting many passersby who had previously kept their distance to turn into loyal fans because of this livestream.
As for He Fang, Gu Haoyuan, and Mu Bai, male celebrities rarely bothered to construct personas that vastly differed from their true selves.
Moreover, among the three, one was a veteran host with decades of fame who had no need to put on a show.
Another was a grand-slam Best Actor whose fan base was already firmly established. As for Mu Bai, he was simply an innocent and adorable singer; his family background and temperament meant he had no need for a manufactured persona.
In this live broadcast, only Xi Rouer gave people a sense of subtle discordance.
It wasn't that she performed poorly, but rather that, through direct comparison, the audience could clearly perceive the unnaturalness in her demeanor.
She seemed trapped inside an invisible box. Despite projecting elegance and gentleness, under the relentless gaze of a non-stop livestream, the impression she gave remained deeply strange—much like a young child wearing adult-sized clothes.
Had Yun Fu known about the existence of the system bound to Xi Rouer, she would undoubtedly understand why the audience felt this way.
In short, Xi Rouer's physical vessel simply could not contain the temperament bestowed upon her by the system, creating a profound sense of incongruity.
When the three-day-two-night live broadcast concluded, Yun Fu's follower count had surged past twenty million, with a steady upward momentum still continuing.
The viewership of this broadcast reached an unprecedented height, making even the director of *Our Travels* reluctant to travel so far for future shoots—though that was, of course, impossible.
Following the conclusion of this live broadcast, the edited version would be aired next week, split into two parts—an upper and a lower episode. They would not need to conduct another live broadcast for at least half a month.
All five participants breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Mu Bai specifically sent Yun Fu a private WeChat message: [The director is an absolute pervert for actually proposing to live-stream our lives for several days straight. I had a cameraman following me even when I went to the restroom these past few days. It was so damn annoying! It's finally over!]
Yun Fu, the person who had originally suggested the live broadcast: "..." A pervert?
After the livestream ended, Xi Rouer looked at the online comments, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
She had expected netizens to praise her for having elegance, exceptional upbringing, and refinement. Yet, there was almost none of that; they merely offered perfunctory remarks about her having good lifestyle habits, knowing how to arrange flowers, painting, and possessing a bit of artistic flair.
However, when she scrolled down to read the comments about Yun Fu, she was so furious her nose was practically crooked with rage!
[For some reason, I always feel that every gesture Yun Fu makes is full of exceptional elegance—that kind of genuine aristocratic poise.]
---
[To the person above, I think so too. But isn't Yun Fu the child of an ordinary family?]
[Not necessarily. I refuse to believe that a child from an ordinary family would know how to speak Italian and things like that. Besides, Yun Fu has never exposed her family background during all these years in the industry.]
[Could she be a young heiress born into a wealthy elite family? She certainly gives off that vibe.]
All those compliments that Xi Rouer had anticipated would belong to her had instead landed entirely on Yun Fu.
Xi Rouer struck the table fiercely and summoned the system.
[Didn't you claim that the family upbringing Yun Fu received could never compare to the skills you exchanged for me? What is going on right now?!]
[Host, the results of our investigation are indeed as previously stated.]
In truth, Xi Rouer had long since learned from the system that Yun Fu was actually a child of the Yun family in Hecheng. But Hecheng was ultimately just a regional town; it simply could not compare to S City.
Furthermore, Yun Fu had spent the first decade of her life growing up in an ordinary household, so how could she possibly have been nurtured with aristocratic methods?
Yet, the current reality was precisely this.
Naturally, Xi Rouer trusted the system, but her eyes were filled with gloom, and the hatred she held for Yun Fu was on the verge of spilling over.
In her heart, Yun Fu had completely and utterly become her enemy!
Meanwhile, another group of people was also discussing Yun Fu—the Yun family in Hecheng.
Yun Hao puffed on a cigarette, but the swirling smoke could not conceal his gloomy expression. His wife, Pei Xinyu, sat beside him, frowning as she asked, "Is Yun Hao still unable to contact Yun Fu?"
With an unsightly expression, Yun Hao nodded and stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers. "It must be the influence of the backing behind her helping her out."
Pei Xinyu relaxed her brow slightly, though her tone carried a hint of bitterness. "Husband, why don't we ask Yanqing and the others to come back for a visit?"
Hearing his wife's suggestion, Yun Hao lowered his eyelids. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded. "Go ahead and tell those three unfilial boys to return!"
In reality, the Yun family had three other sons. However, ever since their younger sister had gone missing, their parents dived into pampering Yunzhi, turning the household into chaos, causing the sons to practically sever ties with the Yun family altogether.
