Chapter 44: It’s Nice to Be the Wife of a Billionaire
The male lead in "Jiuxiao Ji" is played by Ji Xiaoyang, a top male star in the entertainment industry.
Ever since fans heard that Jiang Cha was also in the crew, they have been repeatedly telling Ji Xiaoyang on Weibo not to be fooled by Jiang Cha, the green tea girl.
As everyone knows, Jiang Qia smiles when he sees handsome guys, but is cold when he sees beautiful women.
Yang Wei took out a screenshot of Ji Xiaoyang's Weibo and showed it to Jiang Qia: "Qia Qia, don't get too close to him, don't seduce him, his fans are very aggressive."
Jiang Qia: "Uh."
To be honest, Ji Xiaoyang is one of the most handsome male celebrities.
But his appearance and figure are far inferior to Huo Wenyi's.
Especially since Ji Xiaoyang is only 173cm tall, Jiang Qia can easily surpass him by wearing some high heels.
Although she has never been in a relationship, Jiang Qia is really picky and won't pounce on every man she sees.
In most cases, Jiang Qia only likes to look at men in novels and anime, and does not like to look at men in real life.
Jiang Qia pointed at herself and said, "Sister Wei, do you think I'm the type of person who falls in love with every person I meet?"
Yang Wei rubbed her brows. "Just don't be like before. Look at the comments under his Weibo."
Jiang Qia glanced at the few people in front of him.
"Xiaoyang must stay away from that green tea named Jiang! A pure boy who has never been in love should stay away from such a bad woman!"
"Jiang Qia loves to hook up with handsome guys. I hope Xiaoyang doesn't let her take advantage of him."
"Wuwuwuwuwu... I'm so afraid that Xiaoyang will be noticed by that woman."
“…”
Jiang Qia: “…”
Yang Wei said, "He has tens of millions of fans. You must keep your distance, otherwise you will be torn to pieces by his fans. Understand?"
Jiang Qia didn't have many scenes, died early, and had no intimate scenes with the male lead.
She didn't want to add to the drama, nor did she want to cause trouble for Yang Wei, so she nodded.
Ji Xiaoyang heard that Jiang Qia was playing the role of the senior sister Yun Li, and that they were filming their scenes together at night, and her face looked very long.
He knew that Jiang Qia had a bad reputation and poor acting skills, and that acting opposite Jiang Qia would be a torture.
The reason why Ji Xiaoyang became a top star in just a few years is not only because of his handsome face, but also because of his strength and acting skills.
He doesn't worry about ambiguous things like his fans do.
What Ji Xiaoyang was most worried about was that Jiang Qia's acting skills were even worse than You Zhi's.
Maybe tonight I will be kept in check by the strict Director Hu until the early morning.
No matter how handsome a face is, it will become ugly if you stay up late for a long time.
Ji Xiaoyang glanced at Jiang Qia who was resting next to him.
Well, she is indeed a beauty, a rare beauty even in the entertainment industry.
But she was sleeping listlessly and sickly on the recliner, not at all like the gentle, resolute and sage-like elder sister in the original text.
It’s over. I’m afraid the director will really block the filming until dawn.
Soon it was Jiang Qia's turn.
It was late at night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the bamboos in the forest were rustling in the wind.
Ling Yuan, played by Ji Xiaoyang, climbed up the last stone step breathlessly with his unsheathed green steel sword in hand.
"Big, Big Sister!"
He raised his eyes and saw a woman in white standing under the moon. The moonlight was cold by nature, but when it fell on her body, it seemed to have a touch of tenderness.
The staff nearby were also a little stunned. They didn't expect Jiang Qia to get into the role in an instant, and his temperament was completely different from before.
The eldest sister waved her hand, and three willow leaves flew out of her sleeves: "Catch them."
This action scene had to be re-shot with a stunt double and then with special effects, because ordinary actors couldn't do it so smoothly.
But Jiang Qia's movements were light and natural, as if he really had some magical powers.
The male protagonist Ling Yuan raised his sword to block: "Please give me some instructions, Senior Sister!"
The eldest sister laughed and said, "When our ancestor sat in the observatory for thirty years, what he gained was never a sword technique. The heaven and earth are the sheath, and all things are the blade. This is the sheath of the Tao."
“…”
"Okay." Director Hu finally spoke. "Pass."
Ji Xiaoyang couldn't believe it: "I passed it on the first try?"
Director Hu reviewed the scene he had just watched.
It was shot in one take, and it was several times more perfect than he had imagined.
There's no need to even find a stand-in for reshoots.
Director Hu's serious face finally cracked with a smile: "Jiang Qia, have you ever studied dance? Your movements just now were so smooth and flowing, even a double couldn't do it so smoothly."
Jiang Qia nodded: "I studied it for a few years."
"good."
This scene is the protagonist's dream scene, connecting the previous and the next, and all the performances are very important.
Director Hu originally had the same idea as Ji Xiaoyang, thinking that this scene would take at least an entire night to polish and go through countless revisions before it could be finalized.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qia's performance on the first try was perfect and there was absolutely no fault to be found.
Moreover, Jiang Qia's pronunciation in her original voice is very clear, and her voice is cool and ethereal. There is no need for dubbing, just use her original voice.
Director Hu became more and more satisfied as he watched: "Just a few more close-ups will do the trick. Xiaoyang, you were a little too emotional just now."
Ji Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed.
He thought Jiang Qia was just a vase with poor acting skills, but he didn't expect that in the previous scene, he almost couldn't catch up with the role.
Everyone admires the strong. When Ji Xiaoyang found out that Jiang Qia was different from what was rumored, he changed his opinion of her.
The part about Jiang Qia is progressing faster than everyone imagined.
After You Zhi finished her scenes in the afternoon, Ying Hao left with You Zhi.
You Zhi was constantly blocked by the director, and both of them felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, You Zhi filmed her scenes during the day, and Jiang Qia's at night.
Judging from Jiang Qia's performance, she will definitely cause the entire team to work overtime.
The shooting was over before eleven o'clock, and it ended earlier than usual today.
Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and helped Jiang Qia change clothes and remove makeup.
Jiang Qia was exhausted after standing for several hours and his body could not bear it anymore.
She leaned back in her chair, and Yang Wei wiped her face with a makeup remover pad. "That's great, better than I thought. Just now, I had a feeling..."
Jiang Qia: "What?"
"This character will definitely be a hit," Yang Wei said. "All the online comments will be turned upside down."
No one can guarantee that the TV series will be broadcast, but Yang Wei has this idea vaguely.
How the character is still depends on the actor's interpretation.
From Yang Wei's perspective, the debate about the senior sister and the junior sister will be one-sided after the release.
It was already late, so Jiang Qia changed his clothes and drove back to his residence.
It was already one in the morning when she got home.
Jiang Qia felt a little sleepy and exhausted, so he opened the convertible top to get some fresh air, then turned off the engine and leaned over the steering wheel.
At this time, she heard the sound of a car, and a moment later, a black Bentley drove over and stopped next to Jiang Qia.
The driver opened the car door for Huo Wenyi.
It was so late, Huo Wenyi should have just returned from a cocktail party or banquet, with a faint smell of rum and tobacco on his body.
Huo Wenyi knocked on the Ferrari's door and looked at Jiang Qia: "Drunk driving?"
"...Mr. Huo," Jiang Qia said weakly, "I am a law-abiding citizen."
He is simply in poor health, sickly and looks like he is about to die at any time.
However, Jiang Qia doesn't have many friends here, and his relatives don't care about him. Even if he really dies one day, no one will miss him.
The only thing he couldn't bear to give up was Huo Wenyi's money.
It's pretty cool to be the wife of a billionaire.
