Shi Lan's words, like a bolt from the blue, struck Gu Chengyu hard on the head.
Because he had always been held in high esteem by fans, and people around him made no demands of him, he gradually lost himself, feeling as if he were invincible.
It was not until the agency considered replacing him that he truly sensed the crisis.
Shi Lan was absolutely right; he, relying on his status as a popular young actor, behaved arrogantly and was complacent. He strayed from professionalism, not to mention acting skills. Since entering the industry, his schedule had always been packed, appearing busy but never really spending time on honing his acting skills.
It turned out that popularity, traffic, and status could not keep an actor invincible; the only real grounding force was solid capability.
For example, Shi Lan, she would never feel fearful about being replaced.
Having realized these truths, Gu Chengyu quickened his pace, looking for Director Tang, knowing he had indeed been wrong.
