Chapter 45 Ziwei Star

Ling Wei's mood instantly brightened, and she patted his head approvingly: "Good boy! From now on, we're the best of the best!"

Lu Zhao's eyes lit up, a hint of anticipation in them: "What's good about it?"

"Good friend!" Ling Wei rolled her eyes. "What else? Oh, you just start talking to me because you heard something nice?"

Actually, she wanted to be a good master.

Lu Zhao muttered softly, "...It's not impossible."

"You're dreaming!" Ling Wei waved her hand, trying to shoo him away. "Alright, you can go now."

Remembering something, he quickly added, "Oh, right, avoid people and sneak out!"

Lu Zhao: "..."

After Lu Zhao left, Ling Wei asked the system, "Has the world line fluctuation subsided?"

The system seemed a little confused: "...Not yet."

Ling Wei: "Let's wait and see."

Three days passed, and the abnormal fluctuations in the world line persisted.

That guy, is he playing hard to get with her?!

She was just about to call Lu Zhao when he called her first.

He told her that he had clearly told Su Yuqing that he was powerless to help the "Xiao Yue Biography" production team, and had replaced her with an A-level variety show, the one next door called "City Challenge King".

She originally wanted to come to "Pursuit Order," but Lu Zhao reacted quickly this time. Wasn't coming to "Pursuit Order" just to show off in front of Ling Wei? Absolutely not.

Ling Wei thought this was okay, but the fluctuations in the world line still hadn't subsided.

She had a bad feeling.

The system investigated further and returned to tell Ling Wei: "Lu Zhao did tell the truth and did as he was told. But... Su Yuqing found someone else."

Ling Wei: "..."

She knew it!

"Could it be... that person from the far northwest?"

"It's Lu Yan."

Ling Wei sighed, "My goodness, Mr. Lu's reach is really far!"

Should she use her "Face Fruit" ability and go directly to him and say, "Mr. Lu, please give me some face and don't give Su Yuqing the role in 'The Legend of Xiao Yue'?"

Ling Wei covered her face, feeling that she wasn't worthy of Lu Yan's respect.

Well, there are still three months until the final casting for "The Legend of Xiao Yue" is confirmed.

She needs to change her strategy and go see the originally designated "Ziwei Star," Xiang Wanxing, first.

In any case, we need to find a way to get the truly promising people out of trouble. Only with some capital in hand can we have the confidence to continue dealing with these people.

Under the blazing sun at Hengdian World Studios.

Wearing a sun hat and following the system's navigation, Ling Wei finally caught up with Xiang Wanxing, the future Ziwei Star, who had just finished eating his lunch and was about to find a shady spot to gnaw on a chicken leg outside a film crew shooting a palace drama.

At this time, Xiang Wanxing had landed a decent role with lines in the film crew. She was dressed in a palace maid outfit that was slightly more attractive than the extras, and she looked tired.

Ling Wei cleared her throat and stepped forward. To give people a good impression of being full of energy, she even paid tribute to a line from a famous movie: "Young lady, I see that you have extraordinary talent and your eyes are full of spirit. You are a rare acting prodigy! I am Ling Wei, the PD of Yaojiang TV's 'City Chase Order.' I am destined to take the director's baton and sweep the box office. Since we have the chance to meet today, why don't we get to know each other and become friends?"

After she finished speaking, she confidently awaited the other person's surprised and delighted reaction.

Xiang Wanxing raised her eyelids, glanced at her expressionlessly, then quickly picked up her lunchbox, leaving behind four crisp words: "Thank you, no need."

After saying that, he turned and left as fast as if he were avoiding a plague.

Ling Wei: "???"

No, this reaction is wrong!

Couldn't you at least ask a couple of questions?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and a thick gold chain stepped forward, smiled, and stopped her. His words sounded very familiar:

"Little sister, I see you have outstanding looks and a unique temperament. You are definitely a one-in-a-million acting talent! I am an agent from Xinghui Media. Our company is currently promoting a newcomer. Would you be interested in learning more about her?"

As the man spoke, he handed over a flashy business card.

Ling Wei's eyes twitched, and she subconsciously glanced at his hand. Good heavens, the cover was blatantly printed with "The Domineering CEO's Runaway Sweetheart," and the level of revealing clothing was comparable to the small cards handed out by some hotels.

She understood instantly.

Well, it turns out that what I just said sounded exactly the same to Xiang Wanxing as this kind of business... no, I mean, as the same tricks used by these low-quality web dramas or even more unreliable shell companies to recruit people.

Ling Wei: "..."

His image collapsed, and he died before achieving his goal.

Ling Wei wanted to reintroduce herself properly, but Xiang Wanxing had already memorized her face and was on high alert, running away as soon as she approached.

She fled, she chased, she flew everywhere with wings.

Looking at that nimble figure, Ling Wei thought, "I really don't have time to mess around with you!"

This time she was using her precious annual leave, and with limited time, she had to seduce him within these few days.

When one plan failed, Ling Wei decisively changed tactics and infiltrated their ranks.

She turned around and applied for a role as an extra in the film crew. The production assistant in charge of recruiting extras glanced up at her and her eyes lit up: "Are you Susie?"

Ling Wei: "...No, sister, give me a chance!"

She clasped her hands together, her eyes sincere.

The production assistant noticed her outstanding appearance, which made her stand out from the average extra. With a wave of her hand, she was given a minor palace maid role with three or four lines. The name was quite nice, "Jin Xin".

Even more coincidentally, Xiang Wanxing also plays a palace maid with a significant role in the drama, named "Xiuyue". She and "Jinxin" are sisters who entered the palace in the same batch and have many scenes together.

So, on set:

Scene 1: Playing a Corpse

Director: "Okay! In this scene, the assassin carries out the attack, and all the palace maids fall to the ground, dead! Note that the falling should have a sense of depth!"

Ling Wei and Xiang Wanxing lay side by side on the ground pretending to be dead.

Ling Wei (tilting her head slightly and speaking in a whisper): "Wanxing, actually I really am a director, I've directed hit variety shows, you have to believe me..."

Xiang Wanxing (eyes closed, lips still): "Shh... The director's watching. Professionalism as a corpse!"

Ling Wei: "..." Okay.

Scene 2: Playing the role of onlookers

Director: "Hey, you group of palace maids over there, whispering amongst yourselves about the young mistress falling out of favor!"

Ling Wei (while mechanically whispering to herself): "How about you consider it? My next short drama needs a female lead, she has unlimited potential..."

Xiang Wanxing (looking worried and whispering): "Sister, I've encountered this trick three times in the last group. The last one was making me act in 'Water Ghost Falls in Love with Me'."

Ling Wei: "..."

This industry is too murky!
