After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 361: Face Slapping Drama! (1)

Translator: _Min_

The complexities of the entertainment industry were vast and often tumultuous.

The fan circles, even more chaotic.

Xu Jiannian had a massive fan base, predominantly composed of female fans who adored him as a boyfriend or husband figure.

Most crucially, despite being in the industry for two to three years, Xu Jiannian remained a popularity-based star, failing to transition last year.

What sustains a popularity-based artist? Their fans.

If Xu Jiannian couldn’t appease his fans, he would lose the benefits brought by his fan base, as he was not an actor known for his acting skills.

Understanding Xu Jiannian’s intent, his agent had an epiphany, “So that’s your plan. I thought you really took a liking to her.”

Si Fuqing’s beauty was undeniable.

Moreover, during this week’s program recording, she had displayed impressive survival skills, earning the admiration of veteran actors Yuan Heping and Shen

Xiuwen.

The agent was certain that after the survival show aired, Si Fuqing’s popularity would rise to a new level.

However, she and Xu Jiannian were worlds apart in terms of status and not quite a match.

In this circle, it was all about fame and profit.

As Xu Jiannian said, he intentionally got close to Si Fuqing while maintaining a subtle distance, an ambiguous attitude.

To his fans, it would seem like Si Fuqing shamelessly approached Xu Jiannian, causing him no harm.

“Yes, that has always been my plan,” Xu Jiannian said, furrowing his brows. “But today, Su Yang arrived, and his relationship with Si Fuqing…” He felt it wasn’t as simple as a random encounter in a foreign bar.

Su Yang was different from him.

Although Su Yang was also a top celebrity, his fame relied on genuine talent, not just fan support.

“Let’s try it,” his agent suggested thoughtfully. “After all, you and Su Yang aren’t in the same circle. He’ll leave after this episode, but you’re here until the end of July.”

There was plenty of time.

Xu Jiannian smiled, “That’s also what I’m thinking.”

“The first episode is about to air,” the manager stood up. “I’ll get the PR team ready. ”

As he left the tent, he encountered Si Fuqing returning from the assistant director.

The girl glanced over, a look so calm and deep that the agent felt a chill down his spine.

He swallowed nervously and quickened his pace.

Si Fuqing withdrew her gaze.

“Qingqing,” Ning Luoyao popped her head out of a nearby tent, “What did the assistant director want? He seemed so excited, like he was ready to jump to the moon.”

“You have sharp eyes,” Si Fuqing sat down at the tent entrance, relaxed. “The assistant director talked about introducing me to a new Xianxia drama directed by Tang Haiqiu.”

Ning Luoyao froze, “Qingqing, you’re just telling me this so casually, aren’t you worried…”

She had entered the entertainment industry earlier than Si Fuqing, initially believing that talent alone could lead to success. She later found this notion laughable.

A fellow actress, once her close friend, had stolen a role from her by sneaking into her house and taking the script, showing the ruthlessness of the industry.

So Ning Luoyao was always cautious, never leaking any inside information she received.

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “What’s there to hide? It’s just an audition, not a secret.”

Ning Luoyao disagreed, “Qingqing, this is the entertainment industry. You have to be extra careful. People might stab you in the back while pretending to be

friendly.”

“I know,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll be careful.”

“I also have some insider info for you,” Ning Luoyao whispered. “Director Qu is making a new movie. Many award-winning actors and actresses are already reaching out, but it’s unclear if he’ll use newcomers.”

Si Fuqing looked up at the sky, sighing, “His movies are challenging to film.”

She recalled being woken up in the middle of the night to film due to Director Qu Lingyun’s sudden inspiration.

“Yeah,” Ning Luoyao sighed. “I don’t have high hopes. As someone who’s mainly in TV dramas, I don’t have the credentials for movies.” Si Fuqing calmly replied, “It’s not impossible. Good acting is enough.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Let’s get some sleep,” Ning Luoyao suggested. “We have to struggle with pythons tomorrow.”

Si Fuqing nodded and returned to her cabin.

The next day.

At eight o’clock, the new day of recording began punctually..
