Si Fuqing set her pen down and sent Yuan Heping’s information, expressing her surprise, ‘Why have the two of them co together? Weren’t they archenemies?”
Calvin and Xia Zuo were internationally renowned directors, top nas in the action sci-fi genre.
Their movies always premiered at the sa ti, competing fiercely with each other to the death.
“Archenemies tend to co together for such occasions,” Gu Wenzhu replied helplessly. “Next year, they’ll be competing again to see who’s the top in action sci-fi films.”
Si Fuqing fell silent, finding the situation all too similar to that of T18 and Zero.
“If there’s anything else, contact ,” Gu Wenzhu added. “I’ve been quite idle lately, with nothing to do. If you don’t put to work, I’ll feel restless.”
“Of course,” Si Fuqing responded emotionlessly, “since I’ve drawn seven design sketches for you.”
“What can I say? You’re the Right Hand of God,” Gu Wenzhu said leisurely. “The capable are burdened with more work.”
Si Fuqing remained silent once more, then slowly added, “Teacher, please stop referring to by that cringe-worthy title.”
She felt embarrassed by it.
After the call ended, Si Fuqing casually added a couple more strokes to the rice paper, “Sister Sang, I’ve finished the drawing.”
Sang Yanqing walked over and upon seeing the drawing on the table, she spoke softly, “Didn’t I tell you to just doodle sothing?”
Si Fuqing glanced at her, “That’s exactly what I did.”
Sang Yanqing was left wondering if their definitions of “doodle” were perhaps a bit different.
Si Fuqing added, “I really slacked off on this. If my teacher saw it, he’d beat up.”
“Fine,” Sang Yanqing sighed, feeling exhausted, “I’ll submit your work. You go have dinner with them.”
Si Fuqing gestured an OK sign.
anwhile, Great Xia TV announced the filming plan for “The Birth of an Employee” online, to much anticipation from netizens.
After all, the six episodes of “Survival 66 Days” amounted to only 24 hours of content, which was hardly enough for the audience.
[I’m on my knees, please produce more high-quality variety shows akin to “Survival 66 Days.l]
[Can other networks take note, no need to hire famous ones, hire the capable ones.]
[Indeed, it was Xu Jianian’s appearance that initially drew to “Survival 66 Days.” His looks truly captivated , and among the young actors, few could match his charm in historical costus. However, within the variety show setting, he seed to lack morable monts and punchlines.
Moreover, standing beside Si Fuqing, the divine beauty, Xu Jianian’s presence nearly faded from my mory, leading to my disappointnt.]
[I pondered how Xu Jianian ascended to popularity. Was it rely based on his looks?]
[With Si Fuqing’s stunning appearance, how could anyone else’s looks be considered an advantage in the entertainnt industry?]
Unanticipated by Xu Jianian’s team, “Survival 66 Days” not only failed to boost his popularity but also led to a decline in his follower count.
Many netizens began to question the substance behind his status as a top celebrity.
Xu Jianian’s agent was notably irate, “Look at this, she’s barely started in the industry and is already trying to undermine you. Sang Yanqing is indeed no easy opponent.”
He refused to believe these were solely the opinions of the public.
It must have been Sang Yanqing who hired internet trolls to boost Si Fuqings profile at Xu Jianian’s expense.
Xu Jianian sighed, “I indeed didn’t perform well. I’m not suited for variety shows. I should just focus on acting.”
“Focus on your work. I won’t let her tarnish your reputation so easily,” his agent retorted with a sneer, determined to retaliate. “If she wants to go to trending again, then I’ll help her.”
With a decisive gesture, the agent mobilized marketing accounts and paid trolls to highlight a clip where Si Fuqing offered to introduce Yuan Heping to new resources, sharing it on social dia.
Soon, the hashtag “Si Fuqing Offers Yuan Heping Resources” trended online.
[Has Si Fuqing beco delusional, offering Yuan Heping, an actor with nurous accolades, resources?]
[Yuan Heping has already won all three major awards. What could Si Fuqing possibly offer him?]
[The claim is so bold, it’s beyond belief.]
[This must be a casual remark, nothing serious. I could say the sa.]
As the discussion heated up, Yuan Heping himself posted on social dia.
[@YuanHepingV: My ‘girl’ has already provided with the resources, which arrived today. She wasn’t lying. Also, regardless of what resources my ‘girl’ has offered, I’m very pleased. Stop spreading rumors; we have a good relationship.] Yuan Heping’s statent quelled the speculative frenzy.
[Indeed, offering resources is a gesture of goodwill; why view it with such materialistic skepticism?]
[How coincidental that the resources arrived today? I’m skeptical.] [This trend must be a self-promotion by Si Fuqing. What a strategy…]
At that mont, Yuan Heping was dining with the director of “Seeking the Lost” at his ho.
Shaking his head, he remarked, “Alas, I’m indeed getting old. The online debates can be quite botherso.”
Had it not been to clarify things for Si Fuqing, he wouldn’t have bothered with social dia.
“Miss Si has really put her heart into it,” the director joked. “Brother Yuan, she went out of her way to secure these film resources for you. You must take the role seriously.”
The entertainnt industry is rife with individuals who prioritize personal gain over relationships.
The director had seen nurous friendships fall apart over resources.
“Of course, of course, ” Yuan Heping responded warmly. “No junior has ever offered resources before. I’m certainly going to accept.”
“Her acting skills are comndable,” the director said, lighting a cigarette. “If only the movie’s release could help the LI family find their child.”
Choosing the holiday season for the movie’s release was strategic, aiming to capitalize on the higher cinema footfall.
“I didn’t steer you wrong, did I?” Yuan Heping was in high spirits. “I have high hopes for her. She’s bound to gain international fa.” The two continued their conversation over drinks.
Outside the villa, a car parked behind so bushes.
“Do you think we’ll really catch a headline story?” a paparazzo inquired, peering out. “I bet Yuan Heping is just clearing the air for Si Fuqing on social dia. There’s probably no real ‘resource’ that arrived today.”
“Who knows, let’s wait and see,” the paparazzo leader replied, cigarette in mouth. “If we don’t catch anything, we can just report what Si Fuqing said as fake. ”
Admiring his boss’s acun, the junior paparazzo agreed.
The trio waited in the car until the sun began to set, nearly dozing off before being startled awake.
“Hurry, soone is knocking on Yuan Heping’s door,” the paparazzo leader excitedly aid his cara. “Let’s see who he’s eting. Is it the person Si Fuqing introduced?”
The juniors quickly grabbed their binoculars and caras. “A tree’s in the way; it’s hard to see clearly. But judging by the hair color, could it be a foreigner?”
“Let’s get out and find a better spot,” the leader suggested, exiting the car first.
“Follow , and don’t get caught.”
As a top idol in the industry, Si Fuqing was closely watched by the dia.
Yet, despite their efforts, they had failed to capture any personal details about her, which was quite odd.
Although they might not catch Si Fuqing in action this ti, securing footage of her introducing resources to Yuan Heping could still fulfill their quota.
Yuan Heping, aware that a director introduced by Si Fuqing was visiting that afternoon, promptly went to the door upon hearing the knock.
Following him, the director expressed his curiosity about who Si Fuqing had recomnded.
“Enough with the curiosity. I know you want to see,” Yuan Heping chided playfully. “I didn’t ask you to leave.”
The director scratched his head in embarrassnt.
As Yuan Heping opened the door, he was greeted by two Westerners, standing side by side..
