The props department staff finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They had wondered how it could be possible for something like sword qi to actually appear?
Clearly, it was meant for special effects.
Curiosity got the better of the props team leader. “Director Tang, what prop was that?”
Director Tang Haiqiu’s expression changed in an instant. “Why ask so many questions? Get ready for the next scene.”
There were no such props.
He didn’t need to ask to know it was definitely Si Fuqing’s doing.
How she managed it, he couldn’t fathom.
After the crew took a short break, Tang Haiqiu resettled in front of the monitor. “Let’s begin.”
This time, Meng Xue didn’t dare to make any more sly moves and earnestly completed the final scene.
Seeing Tang Haiqiu about to catch her for a thorough questioning, Si Fuqing promptly left. “Director Tang, I’m so hungry, I’m off to eat!”
Tang Haiqiu: ‘
He snorted coldly.
Did she think she could escape so easily?
There was still filming to do tomorrow; he’d let her offjust for today.
The next day.
The crew’s catering was still excellent, drawing envy from the cast of a neighboring production.
In the back lounge, after Si Fuqing had eaten, she fell asleep.
Yu Xiheng covered her with a blanket, then after stepping out, closed the door behind him. “How did it go?”
“Brother Nine, everything went smoothly, except for a minor incident yesterday,” Feng San stepped forward. “But since it happened during filming,
Miss Si resolved it herself.”
He showed the discarded footage from the director’s team.
It was the part where Meng Xue deliberately caused Si Fuqing to be hit by the prop arrows three times.
Yu Xiheng’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze steady.
He appeared utterly calm, though Feng San felt his breathing becoming more difficult.
“Both she and Miss Si have registered for the ‘Oracle’ celebrity performance competition,” Feng San cautiously added. “Her fans are also criticizing Miss Si’s gaming skills, calling her an embarrassment.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiheng finally looked up, his voice cool, “Good.”
Feng San didn’t grasp the meaning behind this “good.”
Fearing reprimand, he dared not ask further.
“Once she wakes up, give her a cup of diluted salt water,” Yu Xiheng instructed without further explanation, “I’m off.”
Meng Xue intended to keep the fact that her scenes were cut a secret, but her departure from the crew was quickly captured and shared online by paparazzi.
Meng Xue’s fans defended her, yet many criticized her acting skills, likening her departure to that of Lin Wansu, who was also removed from a production.
“She went too far!” Chi Yu, knowing Meng Xue’s scenes were cut because of Si Fuqing, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust, “Such actions should be exposed!”
“What good would exposure do?” Meng Xue pressed her lips together. “She’s the female lead, and I’m just a supporting character. Besides, Director Tang is on her side. I’ve finished my scenes; I won’t dwell on this.”
“You’re very generous, but it’s the right thing to do,” Chi Yu sighed. “But the higher she flies, the harder she’ll fall.”
He had learned that the stars from the Western Continent and Eastern Mulberry participating in the star performance competition were all at the Challenger level.
The highest among them was at the peak of Challenger level, their APM nearly reaching professional gamer standards.
Neither he nor Meng Xue dared to claim victory with such competition.
Si Fuqing, with her modest skills, daring to enter the celebrity performance competition?
Truly overconfident.
“I’ll stream with you,” Chi Yu offered comfort. “You can still gain followers through gaming.”
Meng Xue nodded slightly.
They logged into the game and started the livestream.
[Here we go! Go, Xuexue!]
[The most beautiful in gaming, the best gamer among female celebrities, Xuexue is amazing!]
Meng Xue was about to start a dungeon run but hadn’t chosen one yet when Chi Yu suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
She frowned and looked up to see the chat explode with messages.
[Holy! Jiu the God!]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Xuexue has really made it, Jiu the God appearing in her stream!]
[Ah, what a pity, if only NINE the God was here too, I’d love to see a couple’s stream.]
[Not to say anything else, but Jiu the God really makes the bard class cooler.]
[Lol, what if he’s an old man behind the screen? The good gamers are all otakus, the kind that lives on instant noodles every day.]
Meng Xue was also startled, momentarily overwhelmed.
She chose the bard class primarily because the bard’s model was incredibly cool, and secondly, because of Jiu the God, the top bard in the entire server.
Jiu the God was, without a doubt, her idol.
She never imagined she would encounter him in the game.
Meng Xue steadied her nerves and began to type.
[Current][ProudSnow]: Jiu the God! I’m a huge fan of yours. It was because of you that I chose to play as a bard. What a coincidence to run into you here.. Could I invite you to join a dungeon run?
