Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Pants off and sprint!
Editor: Atlas Studios
I’ve poured my life’s work into you, and you’re talking as if it’s nothing!
Xia Weibao raised her eyebrows; she felt that her boss had a bad temper, obviously suffering from an overabundance of liver fire.
“Do you have a solution?”
Leng Yan choked down his retort, wishing he could throw you out and let those fans tear you apart!
Xia Weibao spread her hands, “If speaking more leads to more mistakes, then why say so much at all.”
Lv Gang frowned, “But this can’t go on, the impact is too huge. The set is already besieged by an angry mob, and we can’t even start shooting.”
“Then let’s shoot the outdoor scenes first. There is something that can shut everyone up!”
“What is it?” Everyone turned to Xia Weibao.
Her Majesty the Empress smirked confidently, “Talent.”
The crowd was silent, “…”
“You sure are confident,” Leng Yan muttered to himself as he was feeling annoyed. Seeing Xia Weibao so self-assured made him want to mock her with a few words.
Xia Weibao’s smile was a bit sly, and Xu Jiayang thought oh no, trying to stop Leng Yan in his tracks.
However, it was too late.
No one could stop an idiot bent on courting death!
All saw Leng Yan suddenly stand up, one foot stepping on the sofa,
“Let’s bet! I ain’t scared of you. If you can clear your name, I’ll strip and run around the Imperial City!”
Xia Weibao raised her eyebrows, the bet was too big; what about the impact on public decency.
Xu Jiayang covered his face, praying for luck, he couldn’t bear to watch.
Lv Gang shut up. Such a toxic oath, he only dared to think about it in his heart, never expecting anyone to be foolish enough to voice it…
“It’s a deal then, a clap to seal it!”
Xia Weibao raised her hand, and through the clapping, she smiled.
Although she was currently besieged on all sides, beyond defending herself,
Xu Jiayang still wanted to try and clear the name, even if just to reduce the negative impact slightly.
So, he composed a Weibo post.
Allure Crew v: A smile overturns the city, another smile overturns the country—Li Qingcheng @Xia Weibao v
Beneath was a video, the one from yesterday of Xia Weibao’s audition as the stunt double, edited and released.
In the video, Xia Weibao, dressed in white, soared gracefully like a startled swan. Four white silk ribbons exploded upwards from behind her, reaching for the heavens, majestic and powerful!
Yet she maintained a fairy-like aura. Clearly a martial arts action but shot with the effect of an immortal fantasy.
Accompanied by her exquisite and unparalleled face, it was a feast for the eyes!
Beyond the word “beautiful,” no language could describe that scene.
Xia Weibao had always shot modern dramas, and this was her first time in a period costume, delivering a shocking effect!
Every time Xu Jiayang watched it, he felt a soul-stirring beauty, a beauty that shook the heart.
Xia Weibao was born for period costumes.
Xu Jiayang originally thought the video would show people that Xia Weibao was more suited for the role of Li Qingcheng than Lin Mier.
Even just in costume, she would outshine Lin Mier!
However, he underestimated the blind mentality of the fans. After the video was posted, instead of unanimous praise, it received crazier disparagement.
The issue of Xia Weibao’s plastic surgery was dredged up again, and even Photoshop was dragged out for criticism.
In short, the fans didn’t believe this was Xia Weibao’s real face; they were convinced it was the result of post-production.
Xu Jiayang was disappointed.
Xia Weibao also felt a headache, the public’s ignorance!
However, as everyone was filled with disappointment, they found…
The number of views and downloads for the video was skyrocketing.
Not only that, but the follower counts for both Allure Crew and Xia Weibao’s Weibo were quietly changing…
