#YaoBianliangTheInvisibleArtist#
#XuJiaIsYaoBianliang#
#YaoBianliangReceivesOscarNomination#
The internet was exceptionally lively that evening.
Following the nomination of "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas," another film had received a nomination. Not only that, but this film was also created by Yao Bianliang!
W̌ еbn̊_о̂ vѐl̇ Ӗǹ u m а
Netizens completely lost their minds.
[Holy crap, it's Yao Bianliang again! I'm shocked for the next hundred years.]

[Waah, Sister Liang must have been sent by heaven to save the domestic entertainment industry.]
[It's really her? The styling, the makeup... if you don't look carefully, you really can't tell at all.]
[Actually, even before "The Invisible Artist" became popular, some viewers had already commented that actress Xu Jia looked similar to Yao Bianliang. However, no one thought to connect this to Yao Bianliang herself.]
[Indeed, who could have guessed? Why would anyone imagine that a top-tier A-list actress would perform in a film without credit?]
Е̄ n̄ü ṁ ǎ .і d
To conceal her identity, Yao Bianliang not only performed anonymously but also specifically paid a fortune for makeup artists, all to ensure no one would recognize her.
"The Invisible Artist" had previously flopped terribly, with hardly anyone paying attention, so this disguise naturally wasn't exposed.
But now, as the film gained popularity and the actress playing Xu Jia received an Oscar nomination—with such publicity, no matter how hard she tried, her secret identity couldn't be maintained.
Not only was Yao Bianliang's lead role exposed, but the supporting actors also gained some fame.

These supporting actors hadn't been credited either, but unlike Yao Bianliang, they hadn't deliberately changed their appearance.
So netizens only needed to do a quick search to discover their identities.

Especially the actor who played the police officer, who was constantly driven to the brink by the fictional Xu Jia, earned considerable sympathy from netizens, with his follower count skyrocketing to six figures overnight.
Of course, the most attention was focused on Yao Bianliang.
Those who had previously criticized Yao Bianliang for inadequate acting skills and losing her former brilliance were immediately silenced.
[Damn, I once criticized Yao Bianliang for losing her passion for acting... is it too late to delete those comments?]
[I never imagined that the actress I've been praising as Xu Jia was actually Yao Bianliang... Sister Liang, I'm so sorry! sliding on knees.jpg]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Who would dare question Yao Bianliang's acting skills now? She's been nominated for an Oscar!]

[Certain people were just jumping on the hate bandwagon before. I remember them all @LittleFlowerOnFilm @CircleEntertainment @ZeroDistanceNews]
[Her acting wasn't impressive in "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" because that was a 70-point test paper with full marks! Give her a 150-point difficult exam, and my Sister Liang will score full marks too!]
[Brothers, content creator Brother Feng has released an acting analysis of Xu Jia! The explanation is so thorough, everyone go watch it!]
When Yao Bianliang's identity was exposed, those marketing accounts and paid commenters could no longer sit still.
Some deleted their posts and apologized on their knees, while others closed their comment sections and pretended to be dead.
Among them, the leading marketing accounts suffered particularly miserably, with their comment sections mercilessly ridiculed by netizens.

Of course, there were also bloggers who produced related videos, analyzing Yao Bianliang's performance as Xu Jia in detail.
They meticulously examined everything from the actress's lines, expressions, and micro-expressions to body language.

The conclusion could be summarized in four characters—legendary acting skills!
These professional analyses of her acting not only satisfied netizens but also greatly entertained Yao Bianliang herself.
To be honest, when she first heard about her nomination, Yao Bianliang was full of doubts.
No one knew better than her what her state was like during filming—
Ѐǹu m̀ ā
When playing Xu Jia, she sometimes wasn't sure how to portray the character and could only forge ahead based on instinct.
If she had used techniques when playing other roles, then when playing Xu Jia, Yao Bianliang had relied purely on intuition.
Sometimes after filming a scene, she would feel uncertain, not at all convinced her performance was particularly good.
But now, seeing professional analyses, Yao Bianliang had a sudden realization.

"So that's how this scene can be analyzed! This micro-expression conveyed this meaning... why didn't I think of that at the time?"
With each review she read, Yao Bianliang's understanding deepened.
Ё ń ŭ m̀ а́
So she had acted that impressively?
No wonder she received a nomination. With this level of performance, she truly deserved it.
Thus, the emotions, connotations, and hidden meanings expressed in "The Invisible Artist" were all excavated by netizens.
However, Yao Bianliang wasn't sure if this counted as over-interpretation.
"Strange, how did I manage to perform this scene so well just by intuition..."
Yao Bianliang couldn't help pondering deeply.

Those acting details praised by netizens were things she hadn't consciously considered while performing.
Everything had flowed so naturally, as if completed subconsciously.
Puzzled, Yao Bianliang scrolled through comments one by one until her finger stopped on a particular article.
"What's the deeper meaning behind Yao Bianliang and all supporting actors performing anonymously? The truth is shocking!"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Good grief, what now?
Е̊ṅu m̄а̌
Had these netizens finally discovered her original intention of trying to become unpopular? That would indeed be shocking.
"So... have netizens finally developed normal thought processes?" Yao Bianliang muttered.

Thinking carefully, she hadn't paid extra for film promotion and had performed anonymously—practically carving "I want to flop" on her forehead.
Being so obvious, it wouldn't be strange if people figured it out.
Clicking on the link, Yao Bianliang followed the prompts to a new trending topic.
It was a Weibo post by a well-known film blogger.
Ẽ n ù m̆а . і̊d̈
[LangYun Entertainment:]
[No wonder Yao Bianliang concealed her identity and chose to perform anonymously! It turns out this was actually a form of performance art...]
Yao Bianliang: "..."
What nonsense—performance art?

[Actually, at first, I was also confused—given Yao Bianliang's incredible popularity, why choose to perform anonymously?
With her influence, plus the film's quality, she could have made this film successful—at least, it wouldn't have flopped so badly at the box office.
Е n̄ů m а̊
But she didn't credit herself, and even deliberately used specific makeup to prevent audiences from recognizing her.
By doing this, was she hoping to become unpopular? That obviously doesn't make sense.
So, after watching the film three times, I finally understood—this is performance art.
The film is titled "The Invisible Artist." Xu Jia, a star famous throughout the galaxy, is just a phantom conjured by the masses.
Then, in reality, don't countless celebrities in the entertainment industry—including Yao Bianliang—also have "fictional" elements in some sense?
I worship an idol I've fantasized about and go crazy for them. But in fact, this idol's true appearance isn't what we imagine.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I believe this is why Yao Bianliang and all the supporting actors performed anonymously. They are silently conveying this message to us.
In the film's credits, we don't see these actors' names. This seems to perfectly reflect the film's title—the "Invisible" artist.]
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Sorry, but when she chose anonymity, she really hadn't thought that deeply.
Her true purpose was simply to become unpopular!
The system couldn't help saying: "But host, I think this blogger's analysis seems more logical."
Ӗnu m̄ a
Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched slightly.
Fine, if she weren't Yao Bianliang herself, she might have believed it too.

However, after reading this blogger's analysis, Yao Bianliang seemed to realize something.
"System, I think I understand why I could portray Xu Jia so well."
When playing Xu Jia, she mostly relied on her instincts. Yet she never expected the final result would be so impressive.
Yao Bianliang thought, perhaps it was because she truly understood the fictional character of Xu Jia.
W еb̃ǹo v̈ еl Е̃ n um̀ ӑ
If other actors had played the role, they would probably have approached Xu Jia from an observer's perspective. Then, based on their understanding, they would try to "portray" this fictional character.
But Yao Bianliang was different.
Because she had genuinely experienced a life like Xu Jia's, no one could understand this character better than her.
Like Xu Jia, from the moment she entered the entertainment industry, she had been constantly fictionalized and imagined by others.

Now, was the "Yao Bianliang" in the domestic entertainment industry—the one who didn't care about fame or fortune, who was dedicated to her work, who didn't fear authority—really her, Yao Bianliang?
Probably not.
W e̊ b̂n̂оv è l̀ Е́ n̄um̃a
She was just an ordinary person who wanted to take it easy and slack off. She didn't have such lofty goals, nor such perseverance and determination.
Like every ordinary person, she was imperfect. She had small flaws and the inherent weaknesses of being human.
That "perfect" Yao Bianliang was just a figure fantasized by the public, a fictional existence.
From this perspective, wasn't this another "Xu Jia"?
Secondly, there was another important point.
Like Xu Jia, Yao Bianliang's rise to fame was "forced"—they were both unwillingly pushed onto a pedestal.

Yao Bianliang understood this feeling all too well.
Perhaps from the moment "The Invisible Artist" script was finalized, she had vaguely sensed this.
As if, mysteriously, "The Invisible Artist" was the final answer she needed to submit.
Not just to others, but to herself as well.
After completing this work, she no longer needed to pretend to be the fake "Yao Bianliang." She could shed her outer layer and return to her original self—
The Yao Bianliang who had many small flaws yet was very real.
Ѐ n um̀ а̌ .i̊_d
As for that false "Yao Bianliang," she wouldn't disappear.
She would live forever in everyone's hearts, existing in the long river of film and television history.

In "The Invisible Artist," the fictional "Xu Jia" ultimately led entertainment-obsessed people to destruction.
Then, what about the fictional "Yao Bianliang" in reality?
Could she sound an alarm for everyone? Could she make society a little better in the years to come?
Yao Bianliang didn't know.
Ěń ũ m̈ а
But she believed time would provide the final answer.
The night wind carried a hint of coolness as Yao Bianliang opened the door. Yu Yiqing was lying on the sofa, scrolling through short videos.
Seeing Yao Bianliang come out, she immediately looked up: "Sister Liang, have you seen it? You've been nominated for an Oscar—that's the Oscar!"
Yao Bianliang smiled helplessly: "Yes, I saw it."

"So many people are praising you. Honestly, I can't keep up with liking all their comments," Yu Yiqing said, pointing at her phone screen. "Look here."
Yao Bianliang leaned over to glance, and sure enough, netizens were praising her without restraint.

Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched as she read: "Actually, I..."
She paused slightly, glancing at Yu Yiqing, who was eagerly enjoying these comments with great interest.
"Worthy of being my Sister Liang," Yu Yiqing said with a slight pride. "How did I manage to become friends with you among all those unknown small-time actors? I was truly visionary."

Yao Bianliang: "..."
Better to leave this good sister with her illusions.
Yao Bianliang walked to the door and took a coat from the rack, draping it over her shoulders.
The island had significant temperature differences between day and night, with the night air quite cold.
She opened the door, and the night breeze rushed in from outside, bringing a hint of coolness.
Yu Yiqing's puzzled voice rose behind her: "So late, are you going out?"
W е̄b̆nо̃ve l̇ Ё n̂ǔ m̆ a
"Yes, the weather's nice. I'm going for a walk," Yao Bianliang replied.
As the door closed, it blocked out the bright light from the room. Outside was very quiet, with only the sound of tides rising and falling, and the gentle whisper of the wind.

The closer she got to the sea, the more obvious the moist scent of the sea breeze became. Under the moonlight, white waves surged onto the beach, crashing against the hard rocks.
The hour was late, and the construction site in the distance had stopped work, leaving only metal equipment gleaming faintly in the moonlight.
Yao Bianliang walked alone on the beach, waves constantly rolling up and receding, leaving shallow traces.
In this quiet moment of the night, a sense of emptiness suddenly rose from the depths of her heart.
Ě ń um̃ а
When the task was incomplete, she had been frantically worried about how to become unpopular, constantly anxious about her future.
Now, with the task completed, the initial ecstasy had faded, and she found herself feeling strangely unaccustomed.
"Ding dong"
Her phone rang, and Yao Bianliang looked at the screen to find it was Mo Youqian calling.

What did he want at this late hour?
Yao Bianliang raised an eyebrow slightly, then answered. Mo Youqian's tentative voice came through: "Are you vacationing on that newly purchased island?"
Ë nu m̊á.і̌d
"Yes, what's up?"
"Nothing..." Mo Youqian seemed relieved, his tone turning cheerful. "Can you see the sky right now?"
Hearing this, Yao Bianliang instinctively looked up at the night sky.
Then, with a soft "pop," a point of light slowly rose in the deep black, desolate night sky, then suddenly bloomed.
The dazzling golden fireworks nearly blinded her eyes.
The fireworks gradually transformed from gold to vibrant colors. After their momentary bloom, the tiny specks of light that composed them fluttered down like meteors falling from the heavens, brilliantly colorful, illuminating half the night sky.

Multicolored fireworks layered upon one another, like trees of fire and flowers of silver, brightly magnificent.
Mo Youqian's voice came through the phone: "Although I don't know why you suddenly abandoned our united front and no longer insist on becoming unpopular... I still must congratulate you."
"Congratulations on receiving an Oscar nomination. Perhaps before long, I'll have to call you 'Oscar-Winner Yao.'"
The fireworks continued to bloom, their brilliant colors dispelling the darkness of the night.
Sea and sky merged into one; white waves rolled up, shimmering with colorful reflections under the illumination of fireworks.
The sound of waves intertwined with the sound of fireworks, as if composing a symphony.
Ẁ е̃b̈ n о̄ v̀е̃ l̇ Е̊_ṅ ü ḿ ã
Yao Bianliang had seen many fireworks—on holiday nights, at grand opening ceremonies, and in videos uploaded by others. In this era, fireworks weren't particularly rare.
But tonight's fireworks somehow touched her heart.

Yao Bianliang's lips curved slightly upward: "Thank you. But... was I really that obvious?"
Mo Youqian puzzled: "What?"
Yao Bianliang: "The fact that I abandoned you, my revolutionary comrade—was it really that obvious?"
Mo Youqian: "..."
Ên u má . іd
After a moment of silence, Mo Youqian spoke with slight resentment: "If we don't talk about this, we can still chat pleasantly."
