The impressive ability of Tang Haiqiu to launch careers was evident.
Especially in recent years, when many Xianxia dramas produced in Da Xia were merely romance stories draped in the guise of Xianxia, none could compare to the legendary success of “Sword Immortal.”
Audiences were eagerly anticipating Tang Haiqiu’s new work, rumored to be set a thousand years after “Sword Immortal,” amidst a new era of chaos in the Three Realms.
“A drama by Tang Haiqiu?” The assistant director’s expression brightened. “No problem, I’ll ask right after today’s shoot. I believe Miss Si can certainly secure the role.”
The director shook his head, “Don’t be too confident. We don’t really know what her acting is like.”
The assistant director waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t worry, there’s nothing Miss Si can’t do.”
Director: ‘ .
At 10 pm, the live broadcast ended.
Since Su Yang was a guest, he didn’t have a tent, so the program team had booked the nearest hotel for him.
“Fuqing, quick, go send off Little Su,” Yuan Heping said with a smile. “He’s a nice guy; don’t be so harsh on him.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Am I harsh?”
Su Yang, going with the flow, said, “I think it’s quite alright.”
Yuan Heping:
What could he say when one was willing to hit and the other to be hit?
Si Fuqing was planning to find an excuse to go for a walk anyway, so she agreed to accompany Su Yang to the hotel.
“By the way, you better stick close to me tomorrow,” she advised. “With your physical strength, you might not escape a python’s lair.”
Su Yang: ‘
Is this really a show for humans?!
After she returned to the program camp, she was called away by the assistant director.
Meanwhile, in another tent.
Xu Jianian’s agent entered.
“You’re not seriously interested in her, are you?” the agent frowned. “Yes, you’re nearly thirty, and it’s unrealistic to expect you not to date, but you should at least find someone of similar status, right?”
Dating Si Fuqing would surely benefit her more. She might even be using Xu Jianian as a stepping stone.
Such opportunistic behavior was common in the entertainment industry.
He had heard rumors that Su Yang’s ex-girlfriend had left him for money and power, only to find Su Yang become a top celebrity within two years. Who knew what she felt now?
The agent strongly disapproved of Xu Jianian pursuing a romantic relationship with Si Fuqing.
Xu Jianian smiled without answering, instead asking, “Don’t you think she’d make a good shield?”
The agent was stunned, “Shield? What do you mean?”
“There are many paparazzi following me, and the gossip hounds are relentless,” Xu Jianian said calmly. “If this continues, my personal life will be disrupted. The media always wants news of my love life. I’ll give them a target to focus on.”
He continued, smiling, “Besides, I’ve only been vaguely ambiguous, never saying anything misleading. When it’s time to withdraw, it’ll be easy. She’s pretty, and I don’t mind getting close to her. I have nothing to lose.”
Of course, that was just one reason.
Most importantly, he already had a girlfriend, also in the industry but not yet well-known, still in the early stages of her career.
The agent didn’t know this, and Xu Jianian had no intention of revealing it.
He was aware of the many ‘girlfriend fans’ and ‘wife fans’ he had, who could be quite vicious in their criticism. He didn’t want the woman he cared for to be subjected to that.
Thus, using Si Fuqing as a shield served to protect both his privacy and his new girlfriend from fan backlash..
