"Alright, Sis Xi, go quickly! Remember to help me take some photos of Jiang Muye, it's best if you can get shots of you and him together!"
â¦
Ning Xi was attending a hot talk show. Because of the popularity of "The World", they invited the main cast to talk about their shooting experience. The main characters of the night were Ning Xueluo and Zhao Sizhou; most of the topics revolved around the both of them. Ning Xi, Guan Xiaoqi, and the other artistes were just there to serve as foils.
Jiang Muye was a special case. He would be invited even if he was just a side character. Moreover, he acted as the secondary protagonist this time.
As the host was chatting with Ning Xueluoâs group, Ning Xi sat there quietly without interrupting. However, since she acted as Jiang Muye's better half in the movie, the host would sometimes mention her name.
"Ning Xi, your scenes with Jiang Muye earned the tears of the audience, and your popularity is soaring. Everyone thought you guys looked really good together, and you even made it into the top ten best on-screen couples of the year! And in the voting poll, the most popular male character went to your army doctor, Sun Huanqing! Arenât you glad?"
"Really?" Ning Xi looked surprised.
"Thatâs right, look at this, itâs the online voting poll and Sun Huanqingâs leading! It's ranking even higher than Sizhouâs main character!" As the host was speaking, there was a picture of the online voting poll flashed on the screen displaying Jiang Muyeâs vote as the highest.
At that moment, everyone was anticipating how Ning Xi was going to reply. It was a tricky situation. If she made a mistake, she might offend other peopleâ¦
Apart from the popularity of Sun Huanqingâs character, the main reason for Jiang Muyeâs high votes came naturally from his fans.
But if she were to say that she was happy or proud, she would be indirectly criticizing Zhao Sizhou and Ning Xueluo, and in turn, offend their fanbase.
Ning Xi smiled. "Just as the saying goes!"
"Which saying?" the host asked curiously.
Ning Xi looked at Zhao Sizhou and Jiang Muye. "The main male lead belongs to the female lead, while the co-starring male lead belongs to everyone!"
Not only the host laughed. Ning Xueluo, Zhao Sizhou, and Jiang Muyeâs fans all cheered. Ning Xiâs smart reply did not offend anyone.
"Later, keep three of the scenes that focus on Ning Xiâs face. Put her scenes together with Jiang Muyeâs," the director ordered the assistants.
After the talk show was done, Ning Xueluo excused herself with a smile and she spoke to Ning Xi and the directors for a little before heading back to her car.
