âMy old friend knows people from the LI family. With their permission, he turned the story of the LI familyâs eldest son into a drama, aiming to increase its exposure. Of course, it couldnât be too obvious, so they changed the genders of a few characters.â
âSeeking the Lostâ garnered high attention online, being based on the true events that occurred to the LI family.
Yuan Heping introduced her to the role of the lost daughter, now grown up, which only had three minutes of screen time.
âTeacher Yuan, I really like this film. Thank you for recommending me,â Si Fuqing said, her expression becoming earnest. âWhen I find a script thatâs suitable for you, Iâll make sure to return the favor.â
Yuan Heping didnât take her promise too seriously but was still pleased enough to boast to Shen Xiuwen, âLook at that, my girl hasnât even made her mark yet, and sheâs already thinking of me.â
Si Fuqing was just starting out in the entertainment industry and had not yet ventured into the film sector.
It would be a decade before she could introduce him to any resources. Shen Xiuwen didnât spare his feelings, âThick-skinned, arenât you?â
Yuan Heping turned his microphone back on, âAh⦠itâs a pity there arenât any good films available now.â
He felt somewhat melancholic.
He started as a stunt double and spent five years as an extra before landing a role that showed his face.
Over the years, he had worked in many TV shows and movies, winning a few domestic awards, but his career had hit a plateau and he had been unable to break through.
[The fact that Teacher Yuan comes from a martial arts background is actually highly regarded internationally. Martial arts stars are very popular abroad, itâs just that Glenn is hard to break into. If Teacher Yuan were to star in a major Glenn production, heâd definitely become an international superstar.]
[And rightfully so. Teacher Yuanâs skills are real, unlike some actors todayâno names mentionedâwho need doubles just to write. Theyâre essentially just selling their faces.
Nowadays, martial arts scenes are so fake, a few twirls of a fan and youâre suddenly a martial arts sect leader. When will these stars get serious? I used to love watching fight scenes.]
[Iâll never forget when a foreign journalist interviewed Teacher Yuan with a look of reverence and excitedly said, âEveryone in Great Xia knows kung fu!â]
At ten oâclock, the dayâs live broadcast ended.
Xu Jianianâs agent finally came over.
After ensuring no one was around the tent, he spoke, âWhat do you think? Are you going to continue with your plan? Using her as a shield?â
Xu Jianian was ambitious and capable of climbing higher, having maintained his position among the top celebrities for two years.
His agent often listened to his decisions.
âMhmm,â Xu Jianian exhaled slowly. âWith RM backing her, her popularity is increasing. I was worried her career might suffer impact, but now I feel no guilt. â
âThatâs true, she has signed with RM for at least a year,â the agent regretted, âItâs really something, saving someone and landing such a high-level endorsement. If we had knownâ¦â
He paused, realizing even with foreknowledge, he wouldnât have risked Xu Jianianâs safety to save someone.
âI wonder if sheâs the global spokesperson we heard about on the phone, since both new brand ambassadors were recommended by her, although she claimed it was because of their looks,â Xu Jianian pondered. âif soâ¦â
âImpossible,â the agent firmly denied. âClothing and bag are much higher categories than beauty, not even on the same level. If she really was the global spokesperson, why bother with separate promotions?â
Xu Jianian nodded, somewhat relieved.
âAs long as youâre clear on that,â the agent lifted the curtain. âThere are still over two weeks of filming left. Seize the opportunity, and Iâll stir up some CP hype for you.â
âAlright,â Xu Jianian stood up and left with his agent.
Si Fuqing was sitting in front of the cabin, making a phone call.
âTeacher, do you know any action sci-fi film directors?â she asked. âIntroduce me to one.â
âYouâre going for that genre?â Gu Wenzhu was surprised. âI do know a couple, but their standards are high. The actors really get into it, ending up with bruises and swollen faces. You canât afford to get injured, your hands are crucial. You absolutely cannot do these kinds of films.â Godâs Right Hand.
Any harm to it would drive the fashion industry insane.
âItâs not for me.â Si Fuqing blinked. âItâs for an elder who has been very kind to me.
She hadnât told Gu Wenzhu about âCrossing the Demon Realm,â which had many martial arts scenes,
