After getting his hair and makeup done, Bi Xie went outside and spotted the source of the noise.
A luxury car drove into the film set, and almost all the extras, except for the staff who couldn't get away, gathered around to watch the spectacle.
"Manni, Manni, please sign my autograph! I'm your fan!"
"Manni, your collaboration with Actor Xiao in 'Immortal Sin' was absolutely fantastic! I never expected you two would work together again! Which role do you play? Do you have any romantic scenes with Actor Xiao this time?"
"Junyao is my goddess! Ahhh, I never thought I'd get to act with her this time. I'd even be willing to play her maid who empties the chamber pot!"
"Wow, this is the movie queen Manni! She's so beautiful! Even I, a woman, am jealous of her looks. If only I looked like her, I could skip twenty years of playing minor roles in the entertainment industry..."
"Please don't push, make way!"
Manny was accompanied by her manager, two bodyguards, and an assistant. The two bodyguards walked in front to block the people who were surrounding them and cleared a path.
Bi Xie stared at Manni, who walked out of the crowd like a "queen," and chuckled when his gaze fell on her beautiful hair.
The crew was noisy, so the laugh wasn't out of place, but Manni seemed to sense something and suddenly looked at Bi Xie.
Bi Xie glanced back with a half-smile. In the original owner's memory, Man Ni did not participate in the drama "Tian Sheng Hu Ge". When "Tian Sheng Hu Ge" started filming, she was filming her scenes in "Huang Teng".
These two dramas were released one after the other. Not long after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" aired, "The Rise of Phoenixes," in which Man Ni starred, also aired. Although the ratings were not as high as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," "The Rise of Phoenixes" was directed by a well-known director, and the production was exquisite with a tight plot. Viewers also gave "The Rise of Phoenixes" good reviews online.
There was no news online that filming for "Phoenix Rising" had wrapped up, but the female lead, Man Ni, joined the cast of "The Legend of the Heavenly Fox," and the reason behind this is intriguing.
The characters in "The Legend of the Heavenly Fox" were already finalized before the start of filming. When Manni suddenly arrived at the set, whose role did she replace?
"Tsk tsk," Bi Xie glanced at Man Ni's thick, beautiful hair and thought to himself that she really doesn't learn her lesson.
They sent people to deal with her, but failed. So they actually came to her door in person.
First Huo Yichu, then Wang Manni—Xiao Jingyi's string of troublesome romantic entanglements are truly more toxic than the last! And more persistent than the last!
"An Xie, don't think you can get lucky every time. Jing Yi won't like you! We'll see!" Man Ni glared at Bi Xie and coldly tossed out the words as she brushed past him.
She was in a very bad mental state. Although she wore heavy makeup to cover it up, the bloodshot eyes betrayed her.
Bi Xie chuckled softly and raised an eyebrow. "Really? Your wig is a little crooked."
Upon hearing this, Wang Manni's expression changed drastically. After a few seconds of stiffness, her gaze suddenly turned extremely vicious. "It's you, it's you..."
Bi Xie curled his lips into a smile, feigning confusion: "What is 'me'?"
Wang Manni suddenly reached out, her fingertips trembling as she pointed at Bi Xie, "It was you, it was you who did it, wasn't it?"
She said, "How could ordinary hair loss be so severe? How could I go bald in less than two weeks?"
Now that she doesn't have the hairpiece, she doesn't dare to go out at all.
"Manni!" Sister Jing restrained the somewhat out-of-control Manni, glanced at Bi Xie, and turned to say, "Go to the dressing room to put on makeup first, your scenes are at the beginning."
"I won't let you get away with this! I won't let you get away with this!" Manni was pulled away by Sister Jing, and she kept looking back, her resentful eyes fixed on Bi Xie, wishing she could tear her apart.
Many members of the crew witnessed this scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Do Manni and An Xie know each other? Do they have a grudge?"
"They probably have a grudge. If Manny's manager hadn't stopped them, the two of them would probably have started fighting!"
"I think I heard wigs...what wigs?"
These whispers were quickly silenced by the script supervisor, and everyone took their positions to prepare for filming the first scene.
Bi Xie sat on a plastic stool, twirling a small white flower he had picked from the back garden in his hand, mentally reviewing the plot and lines he would be performing later.
"Anxie, want some ice cream?" Xia Mian, carrying a styrofoam box, smiled as she passed Bi Xie.
The girl wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she possessed the youthful innocence and purity unique to young girls. She struggled a bit to carry a box of ice cream, and sweat trickled down her forehead into her eyes, but she couldn't spare a hand to wipe it away.
“Okay,” Bi Xie nodded, helped her put the styrofoam box on the table next to her, and took out an old-fashioned popsicle.
"Take a break," Bi Xie said, handing her a tissue.
Xia Mian thanked her and took the tissue, wiped her face, and shook her head with a smile: "There's still a lot of work to do. Good luck with your filming later..." Someone called Xia Mian's name from afar, and she quickly picked up the styrofoam box again, "An Xie, I'm going now—"
Bi Xie nodded.
Meeting Xia Mian was an accident, or perhaps an accident that led to her being connected with Xiao Jingyi.
It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but when Xiao Jingyi pranked her, Xia Mian was the one who handed her an expired, rancid-smelling lunchbox.
Xia Mian was about the same age as her and in a similar situation. However, it was her mother who was sick in her family. Her mother suffered from mental illness. Her father was poor and could not afford the bride price to marry a wife, so he married Xia Mian's mother to continue the family line.
After marriage, Xia Mian's father became a severe alcoholic and frequently beat Xia Mian's mother, causing her condition to worsen.
Last year, Xia Mian's mother had a medical episode in the middle of the night and jumped into the river to drown. Xia Mian's father was too lazy to even make arrangements for his wife's funeral. He even felt that there was one less mouth to feed and wanted to marry Xia Mian off to a divorced man in the village.
Xia Mian was so frightened that she fled the village overnight. After a long and arduous journey, she was introduced to a film crew and ended up doing odd jobs.
When there are roles available, I work as an extra; when there are no roles available, I do all sorts of odd jobs and part-time work.
After handing Bi Xie an expired lunchbox that day, the girl kept apologizing and cried with guilt. Perhaps because Bi Xie was about the same age as her and had suffered a lot while wandering alone, Xia Mian regarded Bi Xie as a family member and wanted to get close to her and become friends with her in a particularly humble way.
Bi Xie doesn't have many friends in this world. Yun Qi is one of them, and Xia Mian has already been regarded as her second friend.
In the distance, Xia Mian was being scolded by a young man, and kept her head down apologizing.
Bi Xie frowned. Just as he stood up, he heard footsteps and gasps of cold air behind him.
Wow! So handsome! Actor Xiao is like a handsome man in ancient costume who stepped out of a painting, I love him!
"I could admire this face for ten thousand years!"
"Honey, honey, I'm okay, look at me!"
The production crew didn't allow reporters to visit the set, but many of the crew members were fans of Xiao Jingyi, and they went crazy when they saw her look in the drama.
The man wore a crescent-white brocade robe, his face was as white as powder, with a hint of snow-white pallor, and his silky black hair fell loosely over his shoulders. He was elegant and handsome, and his white clothes were clean and pure, like a jade tree branch, standing quietly in a corner, yet no one could ignore the faint radiance emanating from him.
Zhang Shu stood beside him, clearly extremely satisfied with his appearance.
