Chapter 46

     “Wait, I can understand that Director Weng and Ruan Shu helped you, after all, some good-tempered bosses are still willing to take care of the younger generation, but I really didn’t expect Duan Jingyi to help you.”

     Lin Wenyi was excited and finally realized that the direction of this matter was a little unusual: “Isn’t Duan Jingyi famous for his bad mouth, bad temper and unsociability? Why would he take the initiative to post on Weibo to defend you, and in such a humble tone.“

     “Because…” Shixi was about to tell her what had happened on set these past two days, but Lin Wenyi interrupted, patted her head and said, “I know! His agent must have forced him! It couldn’t be that he was impressed by your acting, that’s a bit too ridiculous.”

     Shi Xi: “…”

     “Speaking of his agent, he is also a well-known figure,” Lin Wenyi’s tone was a little admiring: “Duan Jingyi used to have such a bad personality and frequently broke out negative news such as being a big shot, but he can still sit firmly in the position of a traffic star. One reason is that he has good business ability, and the other reason is that his agent Huang Tao is very capable.”

     Shi Xi said “hmm”: “I heard about it.”

     “Huang Tao has always wanted to help Duan Jingyi save his popularity and get rid of the negative impression of being irritable and being a big shot, but this guy is very willful and has never cooperated well, so he has never been able to save him.”

     Lin Wenyi analyzed to Shi Xi: “So for Duan Jingyi’s team, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, As long as Duan Jingyi follows Director Weng and Movie Queen Ruan to post on Weibo, he can create a sociable image and wash away the negative label. I guess Huang Tao will send the topic brought by Duan Jingyi to the hot search, which is beneficial to us, let’s wait and see…”

     Lin Wenyi’s words stopped abruptly, Shi Xi asked her: “What’s wrong?”

     “Huang Tao contacted me personally,” Lin Wenyi said, dumbfounded. “He can’t be coming to discuss countermeasures with me, can he? He’s such a big-time senior! Xiao Shi, is this what it feels like ‘when one person ascends to heaven, the chickens and dogs also ascend?'”

     “…”Shi Xi said: “You guys chat first, I’ll go to Senior Ruan Shu to thank her.”

     For Shi Xi, the trouble has been solved to this extent, and she doesn’t have to worry about the next thing.

     Lin Wenyi said hurriedly: “Go ahead, talk nicely. This time, Movie Queen Ruan really helped a lot.”

     When Shi Xi called, Director Weng and Xinxin were standing by to talk about other things. When she hung up the phone, Director Weng said with concern: “Xiao Shi, has the trouble been solved?”

     “Yes, things have been developing in a good direction.”

     “That’s fine,” Director Weng said: “You want to find Xiao Ruan, right? Go.”

     Ruan Shu really has a good temper. When Shi Xi came to thank her, she was completely humble and said like coaxing a child: “Don’t thank me. I like your play, so I am willing to tell the truth. My agent also said that he wanted to thank you because I remembered to post on Weibo for business, and the team finally has something to do.”

     Shi Xi knew that Ruan Shu didn’t want her to have a psychological burden, and she felt warm in her heart and silently remembered this favor.

     Shi Xi thought, one thing is one thing, and she had to thank Duan Jingyi.

     After saying goodbye to Ruan Shu, Shi Xi went to find Duan Jingyi.

     As soon as they met, Duan Jingyi bowed to her: “Teacher Shi, thank you.”

     Shi Xi: “?”

     Duan Jingyi touched the back of his head and explained embarrassedly: “My agent said that you opened up my Ren and Du meridians and made me open up. He was so relieved when he saw my Weibo post that he cried. Now he is eager to let the whole network see my growth. He also said that he would treat you to a meal another day. Please don’t refuse.”

     “My agent is very powerful. He may have sent me to the hot search now.”

     Duan Jingyi opened the hot search list and saw the topic #Duan Jingyi said I was taking advantage of# in the front row.

     This was expected. Duan Jingyi was not surprised. What surprised him was the new topic that was ranked first in the hot search –

     #The Sword Shining Frost crew protects its shortcomings#.

     Duan Jingyi reminded: “Teacher Shi, there is a new situation in the hot search. Go and check it out!”

     Shi Xi opened the hot search and saw the hot search of the crew protecting its shortcomings at a glance.

     This is obviously a topic that is popular with the public and beneficial to both the drama and the artists in the same crew. Clicking in, she saw that fans of each group were celebrating the New Year in harmony, while passers-by were passionately eating melons online.

   【Ruan Ruan, Xiao Shi and Director Weng, this lineup is really great, the three chefs are ecstatic!】 

   【What a wonderful crew, there is no quarrel between the actors and no intrigue, even the guest actors are strongly protected when they are wronged. The atmosphere of the crew is great, just for this atmosphere I also want to buy a ticket to watch Jian Zhao Shuang! 】

   【Is the Jian Zhao Shuang crew a metamorphosis? Even Duan Jingyi became polite after entering. 】

   【It is said that Duan Jingyi was influenced by Shi Xi… Now it seems to be true. 】

   【Shixi is so popular, she is definitely the group’s favorite~ Haters, please don’t be so sour~】

   【After eating melons all night, I finally figured it out. Someone must have bought water army to maliciously black Shixi before, so there were so many malicious voices in the previous topic. Passersby who don’t know the situation will definitely be angry at Shixi. 】

   【I bet the person who tried to ruin Shixi never expected Director Wang to step up and clear her name, haha! They must be so mad right now, their face is probably all twisted. 】

    “I don’t know if it was Lao Huang who bought the hot search, I’ll go ask him…”

     Duan Jingyi just mentioned Huang Tao and received a call from Huang Tao. He didn’t avoid Shixi and answered the phone and asked carelessly: “Lao Huang, how many hot searches did you buy for me?”

     “What are you talking about, you little bastard? I didn’t buy it! This is a topic started by netizens, it’s real popularity!” Even without the speakerphone turned on, Huang Tao’s loud voice couldn’t be blocked.

     Duan Jingyi turned on the hands-free mode, and Huang Tao’s voice resounded throughout the room: “Shi Xi is some kind of Guanyin who saves people from suffering. She cured your bad habits and took advantage of your popularity. I am so grateful to her… “

     Shi Xi and Duan Jingyi looked at each other in silence.

     Ah, this is the famous person Lin Wenyi mentioned.

     “Teacher Shi is here with me,” Duan Jingyi coughed awkwardly twice: “Teacher Shi, my agent said he didn’t buy the hot search.”

     When he heard that Shi Xi was there, Huang Tao immediately fell silent, seamlessly switched to elite mode, and greeted Shi Xi very steadily: “Teacher Shi is here too? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Teacher Shi, I apologize, I’ve already contacted your manager. We’ll handle the online matter. Please get some rest tonight. Thank you very much for your guidance to Duan Jingyi.”

     Shixi found him rather amusing. She smiled and said, ‘I wouldn’t call it a guidance, but thanks for today.'”

     Huang Tao: “Teacher Shi, don’t be polite!”

     Late at night, the topic of Shi Xi and Jia Ming’s ghost-hunting live broadcast room returning also climbed the hot search list.

 

---

   【Since it’s on the hot search, let’s take a look at our Xiao Shi and Jia Ming’s ghost-hunting live broadcast! Guaranteed to be exciting, watch with caution if you are timid~】

   【Those who say Shi Xi has no works, please face up to the fact that Ghost Hunting Livestream is also her work. The quality of her livestreams surpasses that of many serious supernatural films. 】

   【Those who watched the live broadcast said Jia Ming has really grown up, no longer the big resentful colleague who was always bullied by ghosts. 】

   【Hahaha, this time the big resentful colleague is Xin Xin, who can be kidnapped by evil spirits when live broadcasting the daily life of actors. By the way, Xin Xin’s live broadcast is linked with Xiao Shi, and the relationship between the two should be very good.】 

   【I would like to call it a ghost-hunting live broadcast that supernatural lovers should not miss!】

     This wave of rhythm started with blackening Shi Xi, and finally ushered in the ending that Shi Xi and Jian Zhaoshuang’s crew won.

     The next morning, Shi Xi saw that his Weibo fans had exceeded four million, and were rising rapidly. Shi Xi’s first scene today was scheduled at 10 a.m. It was still early, so after breakfast she went to the next-door crew to see Zhang Qingxuan and Jiaming off.

     Director Weng found a suitcase for Zhang Qingxuan to put the ghost puppet in. He stood in the yard of the crew with a suitcase, tall and graceful, like a big star who came to film.

     Zhang Qingxuan said in a gentle voice: “Director Weng, goodbye, I hope you won’t encounter any troubles that need our help in the future. You can go to Wuyou Temple when you are free.”

     Director Weng glanced at the suitcase and rubbed his hands: “I hope the ghost puppet will have been saved by then.”

     Shi Xi chuckled: “Director Weng, don’t worry, with my senior brother here, it can’t hurt you.”

     Director Weng: “I fully trust the ability of Taoist Qingxuan.”

     Zhang Qingxuan gave Shi Xi a few more instructions before getting in the car with Jiaming.

     After watching them leave, Director Weng asked Shi Xi to talk to him in the living room.

     “Xiao Shi, the investors contacted me today. They also noticed what happened yesterday,” Director Weng pondered for a moment: “They are very satisfied with your participation and hope that I can give more scenes to the role of Yideng. Editor Lin and I mean that we can add one or two more scenes to echo the scenes of the ruined temple. What do you think?”

     Shi Xi readily agreed: “As long as the time is right, I have no problem.”

     Director Weng nodded with satisfaction: “I will discuss the time with Lao Wang and shoot well. You have a wide range of acting and can go a long way.”

     After returning to the crew of “Phantom”, Shi Xi filmed without distraction.

     After finishing a day’s filming, Shi Xi called Lin Wenyi and told her about the additional scenes in “Sword Shining Frost”.

     Lin Wenyi was very happy and told her another good news: “Chen Yu Ji is also very satisfied with your recent popularity. The official announcement is imminent. They want to seize this wave of popularity and decide to release your silhouette at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning to warm up for the official announcement. Remember to check it online tomorrow~”

     “Okay,” Shi Xi yawned sleepily: “I have to get up at 5 o’clock tomorrow morning to shoot, so I’ll go to bed first.”

     The shooting on this day had to be done before dawn. Shi Xi was dozing off while putting on makeup. The shooting task in the morning was very heavy. After Shi Xi was immersed in the shooting, she completely forgot what Lin Wenyi said last night.

     During the break, Shi Xi sat on a chair and emptied herself. Tang Niannian and Mimi, who were next to her, didn’t know what they saw, and suddenly laughed, pulling her thoughts back.

     Tang Niannian said: “Xiao Shi, come and see something good!”

     Shi Xi raised her eyes and looked at them lazily: “What?”

     “Do you know this?” Tang Niannian held back her laughter and handed the phone screen to Shi Xi.

     This is the official Weibo interface of Chen Yu Ji. Shi Xi remembered that the silhouette of the spokesperson was officially announced today.

     “I kno…” Shi Xi was stunned after looking down on the content of the Weibo.

     Chen Yu Ji: 【Let’s play a game of “I draw and you guess” with Xiao Yu. This is the spokesperson of Xiao Yu’s new sunset series of cosmetics. I will tell you the answer in three days~】

     Below is a graffiti painting of a stickman holding a shovel – the stickman is a painting, and the shovel is a real object that Shi Xi used in the escape room variety show.

     Shi Xi covered her eyes and changed her words: “I don’t know.”

     Didn’t they say there would be an official silhouette reveal? Why are they doing something unexpected? Which soul painter drew this?

     Why didn’t you report my ID number?
