Jiang Yixing waited for the crowd to gradually disperse and then regroup, with a new group of people arriving.
"Okay, I'm going now."
When the time was right, Jiang Yixing picked up the soft sword and stood in front of the stall.
Li Yuxin and Jiang Wuzhi consciously began to maintain order.
Jiang Yixing flicked his wrist slightly, flicked out the soft sword, and twirled it in front of his face.
She and her sword seemed to be one; when the sword was hard, she was hard; when the sword was soft, she was soft.
With a light touch of her toes, she leaned back, almost perpendicular to the ground, as the sword swept across her chest and swung straight toward her head.
Zheng Lan's eyes widened involuntarily. This was no longer acting, was it?
Others felt the same way, even though they had just witnessed Zheng Lan's sword dance.
However, the difference between the two is obvious. One person's performance is very good, with smooth and natural sword moves, while the other person's performance is so bad that people can hardly see any trace of acting. It is as if people are watching a fight, and they may even ignore the person wielding the sword because the sword is so sharp.
The sword, though unsharpened, seemed incredibly sharp in her hands, as if it could slice off a piece of flesh the moment it touched her.
Surprisingly, there were no cheers; everyone fell silent for some reason.
Jiang Yixing relaxed his muscles, lowered his sword, and pointed the blade towards the ground.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, followed by cheers and screams from everyone present.
Jiang Yixing's ears were startled by the high-decibel cheers.
She smiled and pointed to the goods on the stall, "Everyone can see the fish we caught ourselves, absolutely fresh and affordable!"
Reminded by Jiang Yixing, Li Yuxin and Zheng Lancai snapped out of their sword dance and remembered their duties, immediately joining in the shouts.
Before long, the group had raised nearly two hundred yuan.
Jiang Wu cheered, "Yay, we can go eat now!"
Two hundred yuan wasn't much, so Zheng Lan decided to have a simple meal and use all the remaining money to buy ingredients for dinner.
The guests split into two groups: Jiang Wuzhi and Jiang Yixing, the "two Jiangs," went to the supermarket to buy essential seasonings and drinks, while the rest went to the farmers' market to buy ingredients needed for the evening.
Finally, everyone gathered at the production crew's parking lot, carrying their bags and packages.
Tonight is the last night; even if the production team has no conscience, they won't torture them anymore.
In the evening, everyone sat together on the table, where dinner that they had all worked together to prepare was laid out. The food smelled delicious and looked beautiful. Everyone chatted and laughed, raising their glasses to drink together.
The camera captured this moment.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and the thick heat filled the air, making everyone's faces flush red.
In this temporary home, Jiang Yixing slept for the last night.
When it was time to part, Li Yuxin was particularly reluctant to say goodbye. "Yixing, we must keep in touch after we get back!"
She hugged Jiang Yixing tightly, her body language conveying her feelings.
These were the three most comfortable days Jiang Wu had experienced since participating in the program.
The thought of Jiang Yixing leaving in the future and him having to return to his unlucky self made Jiang Wuzhi reluctant to leave.
A look of grief appeared on his fair face. "Yixing, why don't you consider staying as a regular guest?"
Jiang Yixing laughed and said, "That's not something I can decide."
Upon hearing this, the director stroked his chin and exchanged a glance with the assistant director.
Regular guests...that's a good idea.
Amidst everyone's reluctant farewells, Jiang Yixing got into the car that had come to pick him up, with Zhang Meng sitting in the passenger seat.
Jiang Yixing rolled down the car window and waved goodbye to everyone.
"Bye-Bye!"
Be careful on the road!
The sound was carried to Jiang Yixing's ears by the wind, and she smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Looks like you're having a good time recording the show?" Zhang Meng observed Jiang Yixing's expression through the rearview mirror.
"Um."
Zhang Meng immediately started talking about work: "I've sent you a script for a new drama. Do you want to take a look?"
"Can."
Zhang Meng immediately handed the notebook to Jiang Yixing and patiently waited for Jiang Yixing to flip through it, but his fingers kept rubbing against it.
Jiang Yixing looked up; she had only turned about ten pages. "You really like this script?"
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, as if he had been waiting for her to say those words.
“Although the director of this TV series is relatively unknown, the supporting actors he hired are all talented actors, so the overall quality is definitely not going to be too bad. Moreover, I checked the investors,” Zhang Meng paused, making a thumbs-up gesture with his hand, “the kind who are not short of money.”
Jiang Yixing nodded, flipped through the script, and found that the ending wasn't bad, and the beginning was quite exciting as well.
Zhang Meng continued, "Especially since your current image matches the image in the drama very well, and the drama is being filmed and broadcast simultaneously at a fast pace, which can solidify your position to the greatest extent."
Jiang Yixing frowned. "Which role?"
Could it be the female lead? Isn't the female lead supposed to be the typical naive and innocent type? Is that the type of character she's portrayed as?
"The second female lead, Senior Sister."
"Oh—" Jiang Yixing agreed, "That's alright."
This drama is a fantasy drama with an overall ensemble cast. The male and female leads are the traditional setup of a naive and innocent girl and a hot-blooded fool. The second female lead is the male lead's senior sister, who is the strongest character at the beginning, a genius with unparalleled strength, righteousness, chivalry, and many friends. She is a very likable character in the drama.
The eldest sister has no official love interest in the drama, only a senior brother from another sect with whom she has a somewhat ambiguous relationship. They are a perfect match, but in reality, after only a few meetings, the eldest sister dies in battle, and the senior brother never marries.
The eldest sister's role extends to the middle of the series, and her death becomes a catalyst for the protagonist's rise to power.
"I think it's pretty good."
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up; he also felt that the script was very suitable for Jiang Yixing. "Then I'll contact the production team first."
Jiang Yixing nodded and took out his phone.
Jiang Yixing felt really uncomfortable not having touched her phone for several days, so she opened Weibo, only to be shocked by a bunch of notification messages that popped up.
"This...this..."
Zhang Meng stopped typing a message on his phone and saw Jiang Yixing holding the phone, looking confused.
He slapped his forehead, "I forgot to tell you."
"You're trending on Weibo again!"
Zhang Meng's tone was brimming with excitement, "You demonstrated a martial arts move on set before, right?"
Jiang Yixing nodded, "That's right..."
“Yes! That’s it. The crew of ‘Lichunju’ released that clip as a behind-the-scenes feature ahead of time,” Zhang Meng’s eyes, hidden behind his glasses, gleamed. “Then the internet exploded. Your performance in that clip was amazing! And the other main actors of ‘Lichunju’ also reposted that Weibo post, and the buzz just went up.”
Zhang Meng started swiping on his phone. "Wait a minute, I'll find it for you."
He logged into his Weibo account, found a few posts he had saved, and handed his phone to Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing took the phone and swiped his finger across the screen.
