This is not because reality is cruel.
Su Xi may have been abused since childhood, which makes her not only eccentric but also somewhat mentally unstable.
If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you have to beg for favors.
Only Su Xi does as she pleases, relying entirely on fate to shoot commercials and accept gigs.
If I happen to be in a bad mood one day, I can yell at my business partners on the spot and walk away.
I haven't made much money over the years, but I've caused quite a bit of trouble.
She's got some talent for getting the lead role, even overshadowing Su Rou, by winning over Director Zhu.
But to compare with the top actress Xinglan, Su Xi—
Not at all!
"I believe her."
Zhou Jingming was still the same playboy, acting nonchalant in front of outsiders, but he was more serious than anyone else at heart.
He exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the woman on the city wall, and gambled in his heart.
If Su Xi can complete this scene, it will be enough to prove that she is indeed the Thousand Nights Pavilion Master of Fengxiang Pavilion.
If something really happens to her...
The city wall was nearly a hundred meters away from him, a distance most people couldn't manage. He was confident he could save Su Xi before anything happened to her.
Si Nan scoffed, "To be honest, I used to think your marriage to Su Xi was a joke, but now it seems like a perfect match."
"Looks like your mother gave you a decent brain; there's hope for you."
Si Nan, "...Can't you tell I'm insulting you?"
Zhou Jingming smiled wickedly and remained silent, his gaze continuing to fall on the road ahead.
...
"Miss Su, let us help you get suspended by the wires."
A staff member came over, pulling Su Xi back to her senses.
Su Xi nodded, and after everything was ready, Director Zhu announced the start from afar.
Even with wire harnesses, a person without professional training would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of a city wall that is more than ten meters high.
Su Xi remained calm throughout, took the two-meter-long spear provided by the props team, and jumped off the city wall.
The wind rushed into her ears, ruffling her long hair.
Everyone was waiting for her to embarrass herself.
Zhou Li and Qin Na took photos of her frantically with their phones.
Under the camera, Su Xi appears cold and composed, with a dashing and heroic appearance, truly resembling a great female general.
Hua Qing stood to the side watching, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Su Xi, how could she..."
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this scene really looks like Xinglan," someone nearby remarked.
Zhou Li retorted, "She's just a nobody, how could she be Xinglan? If you can't see properly, don't talk nonsense."
Qin Na also said, "Sister Li, I think so too. Imagine what Su Xi would look like with the mask on."
Zhou Li was determined not to believe it.
If Su Xi were Xing Lan, how could she be content to stay in obscurity for so many years?
It was just a coincidence.
Compared to the unrest here, Si Nan covered his eyes and dared not look.
He expected to hear Su Xi crying and screaming for help, but there was no sound at all. He quietly opened one eye and looked ahead.
I was completely dumbfounded!
Su Xi successfully jumped off the city wall and sat on the horse with a long spear in her hand.
The sound of galloping horses reached her ears. Su Xi skillfully rode on horseback, filming a fight scene with a group of people.
"Young Master Zhou, am I dreaming?"
Si Nan rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
Zhou Jingming smiled slightly but did not respond.
He was right.
This woman is not simple.
The skill with which he leaped into the air is beyond the reach of ordinary people; only the Lord of the Thousand Nights Pavilion possesses such an ability.
Xi'er, oh Xi'er, you've kept it so well hidden!
"Young Master Zhou! I'm really not used to your serious smile. Could it be that you've been entangled with Su Xi for so long that your brain isn't quite right anymore?" Si Nan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Zhou Jingming smile.
The notorious playboy of Beijing's elite circles has stopped chasing women and is now watching the filming of movies on set. He's so enigmatic and unpredictable; who wouldn't find that unsettling?
"The show's over, let's go."
Zhou Jingming stubbed out his cigarette and turned to leave.
Si Nan caught up with him, "No, I came all this way just to see this show. If you really come to support Su Xi, your brothers won't laugh at you. There's no need to rush back."
Zhou Jingming did not respond.
If Su Xi sees him here, that woman will definitely be on guard and won't be able to go all out.
However, Su Xi saw him just as he turned around.
What's Zhou Jingming doing here?
Didn't he see everything she did just now?
In the blink of an eye, Director Zhu shouted "Perfect!" and Su Xi sheathed her spear, ending the scene.
"Su Xi, you did a great job, it was fantastic!"
Director Zhu's face was full of smiles. He hadn't misjudged Su Xi; she was a promising actress.
Although she is not Xinglan, she possesses the same potential as Xinglan.
Director Zhu was very confident that this movie would be a huge hit, even though filming had just started.
Su Xi put down the knife and said humbly, "Thank you for your recognition, Director Zhu. I will work harder and will definitely not let you down."
Director Zhu thought highly of Su Xi.
Looking back at the camera feed, she smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Su Xi has a good chance of becoming the next Xing Lan!"
Su Xi returned to the set to rest, and Hua Qing fawned over her, coming over to massage her shoulders.
"Su Xi, you scared me to death just now!"
The moment Su Xi jumped, Hua Qing didn't dare to look. She kept praying to the gods to protect Su Xi and ensure her safety. Fortunately, the gods heard her prayers, and Su Xi was safe and sound.
"How did I do just now?" Su Xi blinked.
Hua Qing said, "I feel like I'm seeing a female general who has traveled through time. It's absolutely amazing."
"Trust your sister Xi, she's absolutely right. This drama is going to be a huge hit, and we'll make a fortune. You'll be a rich woman, and male models will be lining up to be your favorites."
"Are you really Xinglan?" Hua Qing still found it unbelievable, recalling what Su Xi had said before climbing the city wall.
Su Xi wiped her sweat and said with amusement, "You actually believed the pep talk I gave you?"
"If I were Xinglan, what role would Su Rou have in the entertainment industry?"
Hua Qing thought about it and agreed. If Su Xi were Xing Lan, she would definitely beat Su Rou up. How could she let Su Rou be so arrogant?
But Su Xi's performance just now was truly outstanding.
For a moment, she really wanted to believe Su Xi's words.
Indeed, the scene of Su Xi jumping off the city wall and sitting on horseback was just like Xinglan.
"Su Xi, are you hiding something from me?"
Hua Qing had been Su Xi's agent for so many years, but she didn't know that Su Xi was such a good actress. Before, she thought that Su Xi had no merits other than being good-looking.
Now it seems that this was a well-hidden secret.
Su Xi tossed her long hair, about to say something, when the persistent person appeared again.
"Su Xi, you acted quite well."
