"You want to act and become an actor? It isn't an easy career! That's what we call an entertainer! You'll get mocked when a fine young lady like you goes and becomes an actress!" Zhang Meihua came to nag Lan Su the moment Yun Jian finished.
The older generation's concept of actors was flaunting oneself out there for public attention, like entertainers of the olden days.
Actors were despicable presences in the beginning of the entertainment industry. The situation would gradually improve later in 1999. However, to older generations like Zhang Meihua, actors and entertainers were the same—and entertainers were people who sold themselves for money.
No one expected actors to be household names in the years that followed.
For Zhang Meihua, she despised actors but went under the disguise of considering for Lan Su's sake as she "kindly advised" her not to become an actor right in front of Yun Jian and Si Yi.
