Chapter 40

     After seeing the comments, the anchor Xinxin realized that she had made a fool of herself. It turned out that this actor with amazing appearance had already become the leading actor, not the little actor she thought had not been seen by everyone.

     She finally remembered why she felt that the name was familiar. She had seen this name when searching for popular anchors. Because she was very timid, she never clicked into the soul-searching live broadcast related to Shi Xi.

     “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, I misunderstood.” Xinxin smiled apologetically to Shi Xi, and was surprised to find that the number of people in the live broadcast room was soaring.

   【Let’s check out the inspiring Xiao Shi who works two jobs.】 

   【Inspired by Xiao Shi, I’m moved to tears.】 

   【I actually caught Xiao Shi in someone else’s live broadcast room. When will the ghost hunting live broadcast room open? 】

   【Xiao Shi is now without makeup. This appearance is too good to withstand the camera. There is no dead angle in 360 degrees. 】

     Xinxin is a new anchor. She can come here to broadcast live because Director Weng is her uncle. In order not to cause trouble to her uncle, she promised that she would never disturb the leading actors, so she didn’t expect this live broadcast to produce results.

     Looking at the rising number of viewers and the doubling number of bullet comments, she was stunned, and her cheeks turned red with excitement.

     Xinxin looked at Shixi with her big watery eyes: “Teacher Shi, many fans from Tanling’s live broadcast room have come to my live broadcast room, asking when you will resume live broadcast.”

     “I will resume live broadcast when Jiaming returns from school,” Shixi blinked: “I think he is very talented, it should be soon.”

     Xinxin found that she was not arrogant at all, and her favorability towards her instantly exploded.

     This was a misunderstanding, but it was also a lovely misunderstanding. Xinxin thought, since the fans came for Shixi, she also had the obligation to pass on a message for them.

     So Xinxin went to watch everyone’s comments again. As she watched, she found that after the live broadcast room became more popular, it also brought in many angry viewers.

   【I’m really curious why Xiaoshi would be eating at Director Weng’s crew. Did she star in Director Weng’s movie? 】

   【Don’t you see what level of director Director Weng is? His movies are all box office hits and award-winning. He works with either top stars or movie emperors and actresses. How can someone of Shixi’s status star in “Sword Shining in the Frost”?】 

   【I think Shixi came here to be an extra in order to get close to Director Weng.】 

   【I agree with the above. What tricks do celebrities nowadays do to become popular?】

     Xinxin frowned as she watched. She had a very accurate intuition about people. Someone like Shixi, who was full of coolness, was definitely not the kind of person speculated by the comments!

     Before Xinxin could figure out how to refute them, Director Weng called her.

     “Xinxin, why didn’t you tell me you were here?” Director Weng just came out after dinner and saw his niece standing next to Shixi with a serious face. He didn’t know what was going on in her little head.

     Xinxin seemed to have seen a savior, and moved the camera over very smoothly, aiming at her uncle: “I saw that the atmosphere in the yard was very good, so I started the broadcast directly. Uncle, the fans in my live broadcast room are all asking why Teacher Xiaoshi is eating here, can you tell me?”

     Shixi smiled and joked: “I’m here to eat for free.”

     “…” Director Weng said: “Nonsense, Xiaoshi, you have to recognize your position, you are here to calm the scene.”

     Calm the scene in various senses!

     Director Weng did not intend to hide the fact that Shixi came to guest star. He even thought that this was a surprise for “Sword Shining Frost”. It would be a waste to say this news without any surprise, so let everyone guess.

   【! ! ! 】

   【What does Director Weng mean by this? Did Xiao Shi really act in “Sword Shining in Frost”? 】

   【Director Weng has whetted my appetite. If Xiao Shi really acted in “Sword Shining in Frost”, I will definitely go to see it when it is released. 】

   【Did you say before that Shi Xi came here to act as an extra to attract attention? Where is she? Come out to argue. I want to ask you, which director would say that extras are here to “settle the scene”? 】

   【Xiao Shi is awesome, she will never let you down! 】

    Duan Jingyi, who was carrying two exquisite food bags, entered the camera. He stood beside Shi Xi, leaned forward slightly, and said in a polite and respectful tone: “Teacher Shi, have you had dinner? This is the fruit and milk tea bought by my assistant.”

     “Thank you for your kindness.” Shi Xi took the food bag.

     Duan Jingyi handed Director Weng another bag: “Director Weng, this is for you.”

     Director Weng knew that Shi Xi was Duan Jingyi’s savior, and he didn’t care about his double standards. He was even pleased with his growth overnight: “Little Duan, not bad, now you know how to take care of people.”

     Duan Jingyi smiled modestly: “Thanks to the teachings of Director Weng and Teacher Shi.”

     After what happened last night, he really wanted to start a new life.

     “This is my niece, Xinxin,” Director Weng remembered the existence of the live broadcast room, and said to Duan Jingyi: “She is now live broadcasting, is it okay for you to appear on the screen?”

     “I have removed my makeup, and my appearance will not be leaked, so it’s okay.” Duan Jingyi waved to the camera and greeted with a smile: “Hello everyone, I am Duan Jingyi, and I am very happy to meet you in Xinxin’s live broadcast room.”

     The audience in the live broadcast room was even more shocked.

     Xinxin said that she would never disturb the leading actor today, so the audience didn’t expect Duan Jingyi to appear on the screen, let alone his attitude!

   【I don’t quite understand. Is he that Duan Jingyi who often makes a big fuss about his status and has a bad temper?】 

   【I don’t quite understand, is Shi Xi his elder? His attitude is too respectful…】

   【I don’t quite understand, but I am shocked. 】

   【Duan Jingyi is the third male lead, right? Whose third male lead would be so polite to an extra?】

     “Shi Xiao, have you finished eating?” Ruan Shu stood under the eaves eating the fruit that Duan Jingyi “rewarded” her, calling Shi Xi from afar: “Can you come over and rehearse the lines with me? A Yao can only come back tomorrow.”

    Ayao is the second female lead in “Sword Illuminates Frost”. Ruan Shu and Ayao have a big scene together tomorrow, and Ruan Shu wants to be fully prepared. She’s decided that practicing with Shi Xi would be the best way to do this.

     Shi Xi’s acting range is similar to Ayao’s but even broader, so working with her could give Ruan Shu some fresh perspectives. When Shi Xi returns to the original crew, there will be no chance to act with her.

     Director Weng also said: “Xiao Shi, if you have time, go and help?”

     “Okay.” Shi Xi had almost finished eating, and went over after cleaning the table. She also benefited a lot from acting with the movie queen.

     Xin Xin did not turn the camera, but followed her eyes: “Uncle, that is Queen Ruan, right?”

     “Yes.”

     Xin Xin whispered: “Then Xiao Shi’s acting must be very good, right?”

     Director Weng gave a positive answer: “Indeed, it is not bad.”

     Duan Jingyi recalled yesterday’s incident and felt a wave of shame. Now, he could finally face his shortcomings honestly: “Teacher Shi’s acting is on a level that can shock me.”

   【I actually heard the voice of Goddess Ruan in the live broadcast room of the novice anchor. I am satisfied!】 

   【Oh my God, I always knew that Xiao Shi’s acting is good, but I didn’t expect it to be recognized by Director Weng, Queen Ruan and Duan Jingyi.】 

   【And she has been making rapid progress! The future is promising, I’m not kidding. 】

     After Shi Xi and Duan Jingyi left the camera, the fans who came to watch the show also left one after another, and the popularity of the live broadcast room became low, but Xin Xin was not discouraged. For her, the brilliant moment brought by Shi Xi was already very beautiful.

     Shi Xi and Ruan Shu were acting together, and there was a knock on the open door.

     Director Weng stood at the door: “I was shocked by your explosive power from a distance. If you can shoot this effect tomorrow, you will definitely pass it in one take. Xiao Shi, the people I invited have arrived, go meet them.”
