Chapter 101

On the screen, under the dim light, the man's handsome eyebrows were soft, his black eyes were calm and focused, his short black hair was wet, and water droplets flowed into his well-defined neck...

Jiang Qiao patted his cheeks to wake himself up from the beauty: "Okay, I'm going to read a book for a while, and then I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the crew, I can't be late."

"The filming went smoothly." Lu Xun said.

Jiang Qiao nodded with a smile and was about to hang up when she noticed that the man on the other end was still staring at her with a slightly frown on his face.

?

What are you doing? This is...

Jiang Qiao asked tentatively: "Then I'll hang up?"

"………………Um."

The man's voice sounded reluctant. He opened his mouth and then closed it tightly, looking awkward.

Jiang Qiao suddenly felt blessed and said in a soft voice: "Lu Xun, good night..."

…………

"Um."

The man's brows relaxed, his eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was low and pleasant: "Good night."

Ha ha ha ha………

After hanging up the video, Jiang Qiao rolled around on the bed holding the phone, grinning foolishly.

Help, how can Lu Xun be so cute!

Using "cute" to describe Lu Xun is simply too horrifying, no less than watching a horror movie. If others heard it, they would definitely think Jiang Qiao has a mental problem.

However, apart from this word, she really couldn't think of any appropriate adjective.

Study and study!

Jiang Qiao suddenly got up from the bed and turned on the night light. She was motivated again!

In the not-so-big attic on the third floor of the villa, the lights were dim and a man was sitting quietly at the ebony table.

The walls are full of photo frames, and the girls in the photos are all the same.

Beautiful and clear peach blossom eyes, bright and dazzling smile, like the sunshine in March, and like a charming and bright rose...

These photos seem to be taken secretly or screenshots from videos. The girl's expressions are different in different scenes.

Happy, stubborn, frustrated, embarrassed, pitiful...

There is only a pair of clear eyes that are always bright, penetrating through layers of mist and looking deep into people's hearts.

In the middle of the ebony desk, under the chandelier, in the transparent glass cover, a bright and charming rose is shining, never fading...

The king created his own kingdom, guarding the only rose with all his heart, and willingly framed himself in a world filled with only girls using photo frames around him.

He doesn't need freedom, he just wants her.

"A question from a netizen: As the actor of Changying, if you were asked to rank freedom, life, love, and living, how would you rank them?"

The crew started filming the interview and asking questions.

"If I were to rank them, I would probably... ..." Jiang Qiao thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Love, freedom, life, living."

The crew was a little surprised: "Qiao Qiao puts love first?"

There are many highly-rated answers to this question online, and most of them put freedom first.

Choosing love... always feels a bit tacky.

Jiang Qiao smiled and replied: "Why not?"

No one can dictate what is the right choice, and what conforms to the majority is not necessarily the absolute truth. This is her choice.

The late autumn sun shines softly and comfortably on people. Jiang Qiao is dressed simply and casually. He holds three incense sticks given by the staff and bows to all four directions with skillful movements, then inserts them into the incense burner.

The opening ceremony, worshipping all around, placing incense burners, asking the gods to bless the smooth filming, hanging banners to take group photos, red cloth covering the camera, and then the actors rehearsing,

When taking the group photo, Jiang Qiao stood to the right of the leading actor. It was a bit crowded with people, and she was bumped by someone unexpectedly. She felt pain in her arm.

Turning her head, she saw a slightly familiar face with a very noble expression. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

Jiang Qiao thought about it carefully, and then she remembered that when she came out of the audition a few days ago, she kindly helped an artist pick up the script, but the artist was very rude.

It's the person in front of you.

Was she also selected into the crew?

Jiang Qiao was confused for a moment, but she never liked to pay attention to others, so she quickly forgot about this little episode.

Just because she doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs doesn't mean that others can focus on themselves.

The group photo of the crew came out, and the director posted it on Weibo, and the actors followed suit and reposted it. The situation was originally very good.

Suddenly, a wave of marketing accounts emerged from nowhere, revealing that Jiang Qiao's second female role was not obtained through legitimate means, but was stolen from someone else.

In addition, the last time her background was exposed, many people said that she was used to being a big lady, and she didn't know what backing she had to squeeze Zhao Na out.

Zhao Na?

Who is this?

The marketing account made a very convincing argument, and even included details of how she bullied Zhao Na. Jiang Qiao almost believed it as he read on.

Jiang Qiao opened the comment section and saw a netizen posting a photo of Zhao Na. She then realized that this was the woman she met during the audition and who had just bumped into her.

The comment section was initially flooded with trolls and internet trolls, but soon it was overwhelmed by rational fans who heard the news.

[What’s up, has Zhao Na become addicted to being the second female lead for a thousand years? She thinks the second female lead is hers when she sees one. Can she be more ambitious?]

[Our Qiao Qiao has acting skills, good looks, and works. She also started out as a minor actress. So what’s wrong with being the second female lead?]

[I am really impressed. It turns out that nowadays, only experienced and older actors can be selected. The female lead is also a young actress. Why don’t Zhao Na’s fans scold the female lead?]

[Can you please look carefully? Changying is a young and delicate princess! Zhao Na is over 30, I'm not being discriminatory, but can she act with such spirit?!]

[I feel really sorry for her. A down-and-out young lady ventures into the entertainment industry, but still gets bullied. What kind of bloody novel plot is this? Sob…]

[…………………]

The netizens' mouths were full of honey, and Jiang Qiao was amused. He felt warm inside, and in a trance, he returned to the days when he was the top star.

Her fans are arguing with her haters for her.

Many fans sent her private messages, asking her to focus on filming and not let it affect her mood. Jiang Qiao picked out a few to reply to.

She knows that an actor's return to fans is never just a few words. She must work hard to stand on the podium. Trophies and medals are the best rewards.

This "black material" did not cause any waves, but instead made more people see Jiang Qiao. Overnight, Jiang Qiao's Weibo gained hundreds of thousands of followers.

In an invisible way, it also promoted the crew of "Flowers in Trouble", and the director was very happy.

But one person was unhappy. After Zhao Na finished her performance and walked outside, she could feel the staff around her looking at her inadvertently.

How could Zhao Na be so capable of launching so many marketing accounts? If she really had such a powerful backing, she wouldn't have been stuck in the circle of fourth- and fifth-tier artists.

Lu (cold-faced boss) Xun: Good night.
