Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Born Idol
Cheng Jingshu’s mentality was collapsing. The person she looked down on the most was like a sprout breaking through the soil, growing at an incredible speed, gradually escaping her expectations and control.
No, she had to find a way to nip him in the bud. She couldn’t let him grow wildly!
The director called cut, and just as Jiang Xin was about to speak to Ye Xian, she saw him release his grip and hurry towards the group of extras.
Ye Xian found the reporter he was holding by the neck among the extras and took out a box of Yunnan Baiyao from his pocket. “Hello, sorry, I got too into the role just now and wasn’t paying attention. I hope I didn’t hurt you?”
The extra didn’t expect the lead actor to care about this and was flattered as he waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, your acting was too good. You were forceful with your hand but didn’t put pressure on my neck. But I was indeed scared by you, your acting is so good!”
Ye Xian smiled, “Thanks, but you should still take this, just in case you need it.”
As extras often perform dangerous and rough actions, they indeed get injured easily. The male reporter accepted the ointment, looking at Ye Xian with some appreciation, “Can I take a photo with you? I think… you’re definitely going to be famous in the future!”
Good-looking, godlike acting skills, and such a good character, it would be unreasonable if he didn’t become popular!
The comment pleased Ye Xian, who nodded, “Of course.”
After taking the photo, Ye Xian realized that Li Jiahua had been watching him for a while.
Li Jiahua, “You really are a born idol.”
“Although I don’t know why you were so unremarkable before, I guarantee that this show will make you popular once it’s broadcast! With your talent and character, you have a limitless future in the entertainment industry.”
“Thank you for your recognition,” Ye Xian said.
“If you are to thank anyone, thank yourself. The scene was supposed to be Cheng Jingshu’s spotlight, yet all the highlights were on you. By the way, your part will be aired on TV this Saturday, are you nervous?”
To say she wasn’t nervous would be a lie. Although she had once made a billion in box office and nearly reached a 3.0 viewership rating as a movie queen, this was after all her first show after headlining a drama rated 2.0 on Douban as the worst web drama. It was crucial for her, it could only succeed and not fail.
“Hahaha…” Li Jiahua patted her shoulder, “With your ability, there’s no need to be nervous. Go take a rest for a bit. There’s another scene later, and I’m worried you won’t have enough stamina.”
Having had a restless sleep filled with nightmares, she was indeed a bit drowsy. Ye Xian rubbed her temples, planning to visit the restroom before heading back to the rest area to sleep.
The temporary rest area on set didn’t have a restroom, only the backstage of the gym had one.
As he followed the signs towards it, just as he was about to enter, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind the restroom.
Ye Xian peeked around the pillar, glimpsing in that direction.
It was indeed Cheng Jingshu, with that assistant of hers—what was her name? Xiao Wen.
“Why didn’t Huihui come today? Didn’t you give her the money? Just one day and she’s already striking?”
Cheng Jingshu crossed her arms, her brows furrowed coldly at Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen slightly bowed her head as if she had done something wrong, her voice as soft as a mosquito, “Sister Jingshu, Huihui didn’t accept the card and, and…”
“And what? Are you stuttering?”
“And she left the Chengjing Couple’s official fan group and also started following Ye Xian’s Weibo. She said she has switched her allegiance to Ye Xian.”
