The internet even went down for a few minutes.
[Damn, does this mean that the Great Xia TV fired the director and the planner for Si Fuqing?]
[Unheard of, unprecedented and probably unrepeatable!]
[Si Fuqingâs luck is truly divine; sheâs a real-life lucky koi fish. I havenât paid my respects today; I must do it now in her honor.]
[Iâm dying of laughter. I wonât say whose face the production team slapped, but did you really think Si Fuqing begged them to shoot? It was the other way around! Did you notice that none of the alternative stars were up to par? They
shouldâve realized this trom the start.]
[Itâs my favorite part againâthe face-slapping moment. Whoâs thrilled? I am.]
The online trolls who previously mocked Si Fuqing for being removed from the production crew couldnât muster a single word now, silenced.
It was true that someone had been removed, but instead of Si Fuqing, it was the director and planner, and Si Fuqing had been invited back by Great Xia TV.
The slap in the face was loud and clear.
Bai Jinxi never expected such a drastic change within just one day.
She pursed her lips and, feeling agitated, turned off her phone.
Si Fuqing was merely a popular celebrity, indeed hot right now, but surely not influential enough to sway the entire TV networkâs decisions, right?
Fortunately, Su Yang didnât read private messages, or the one Bai Jinxi sent would have turned into a complete joke.
Her face flushed red as she tried to calm herself down.
Si Fuqingâs return to the variety show could only be beneficial to her.
She looked forward to seeing how Si Fuqing would embarrass herself.
After all, medicine was not something everyone could master.
Meanwhile, the drama series âCrossing the Demon Realmâ released its full theme song performed by Xie Yu and Su Yang.
Just an hour after its release, it had already topped charts across major music platforms, and the download count had quickly surpassed a million.
[Awesome, Xie Yu and Su Yang.]
[Si Fuqing really has unbelievable luck; meeting Su Yang in a bar abroad and becoming Xie Yuâs teacher in âYouth With You.â Two of the industryâs genuinely talented top male celebrities have crossed paths with her.]
[Director Tang must be thrilled. With this theme song released, he just saved a bunch on advertising expenses.]
Indeed, Tang Haiqiu was quite pleased.
So much so that when Director Qin contacted him, he couldnât help but praise Si Fuqing more.
[Old Tang, Iâm working with that girl again,â Director Qin said, âShe didnât cause any scares during the shoot, did she?]
âShe did,â Tang Haiqiu replied slowly. âShe begged for snow, and it snowed.â
Director Qin was baffled. âWhat?â
Looks like heâs not directing a spy thriller anymore but a fengshui master saga?
Director Qin felt disheartened and hung up the phone, steadying his heart before arriving in An City the next day.
âHey, Director Qin, what a coincidence,â Si Fuqing greeted him warmly as she welcomed him to the studio, âI was just talking about you with Director Tang the other day, thanking him for recommending me for the acting gig. I didnât expect us to work together again so soon.â
Could he admit he didnât want this job?
Of other things, he only knew his heart was in trouble again.
âLook, I donât ask for much, just keep it low-key,â Director Qin pleaded, feeling defeated, âLeave some space for others to shine, donât be too spectacular.â
Si Fuqing gave an OK gesture, âI understand, crystal clear. Weâre here to get paid and follow your lead.â
Director Qin recalled the scene where Si Fuqing tied a bow on a python, and remarked, feeling powerless, ââ¦I think you donât understand. â
âYou guys chat,â Sang Yanqing said as she brought over two glasses of water, âIâll go take care of something else.â
She moved to the room next door.
âSister Sang, looks like the rival fans canât sit still anymore, theyâve released this video clip,â the new media promoter opened a short video, âIt must be from the National Drama Festival interview.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The interview was with Tong Luoyun.
âTeacher Tong, we hear you have a new drama coming up after more than three years since your last TV project; the fans are very excited,â the masked raccoon, a reporter, asked. âDuring your absence from the TV drama circle, many new actors have emerged. Are you familiar with the nationâs sweetheart, Bi Yunxi, and the divine beauty of Great Xia, Si Fuqing?â
âBi Yunxi? Never heard of her,â Tong Luoyun responded indifferently, âSi Fuqing, that variety show star?â
The interview cut off there, leaving it somewhat ambiguous, but it was clear enough to be understood.
When the term âvariety show starâ is used in such a context, it becomes an insult.
Tong Luoyun was insinuating that Si Fuqing was only fit for variety shows and nothing more.
The interview had already been viewed over three million times.
Tong Luoyunâs professional reputation was undeniable, and her opinion carried a lot of weight..
