Who knows? The anchor I like has become a movie queen!

Chapter 116 A sharp knife

Early the next morning, another bombshell was dropped on Weibo:

The TV series [Phoenix] Weibo: "Aren't you all looking forward to our cast? Today we're officially announcing one, she's the actress who plays Murong Xue, @纪夏 (photo*2). The rest of the cast will be announced later."

[Oh my god, it really is Ji Xia. Can she really get a TV drama? Is the director crazy?]

[Really, they will do anything to chase traffic]

[I have to say, the first photo is too bewitching. She's lying there, looking sideways, her watery eyes seeming to say, "Hug me quickly."]

[She's so beautiful, is she playing a concubine?]

[Look at the picture behind her. Could she have grown up to be the queen? That dark red dress is so majestic.]

[It seems like two people before and after]

【I want to see who is the actor who plays opposite her? 】

[Her face was born for the screen, there is no trace of plastic surgery]

[Who are you implying has had plastic surgery? ]

[Don’t be too sensitive, I’m speaking normally]

[I can’t hold it in any longer. Actually, I am the emperor and she is my beloved concubine.]

Before Daxiong had time to find someone to buy hot searches, it directly became the number one. These two photos of Ji Xia also went viral on major platforms.

When Lu Huaichuan saw the official announcement at the company, he immediately called the publicity team over and said, "Put everything aside now and start promoting 'Chinese Paladin'!"

The publicity director gave the most honest answer: "Ah? Doesn't this drama start filming in a month?"

"I want it to start filming right away!" Lu Huaichuan frowned and his voice instantly turned cold.

The publicity director was startled and said timidly, "Okay, I'll go and negotiate right away."

When I left the office, the person in charge rolled his eyes: Nervous Ice

Director Okuma's pace was very fast. He personally supervised the filming of this half at Kyoto Film and Television, while the assistant director led the team to shoot at the Yamashiro Film and Television Base.

Liu Meng didn't expect that she could get the role. After all, her competitor Chang Jixia was in such good condition that it would be difficult for her to get any roles. Unexpectedly, the director called her a day later and asked if she was willing to play other small roles.

Liu Meng naturally nodded in agreement. For a student who hadn't even graduated yet, getting a role was already quite impressive. What was there to complain about? She happily arrived, luggage in hand.

During the filming, I was able to ride in Xia Xia’s RV. She is really nice.

Ever since Jiang Yutao found out that her biological daughter was Ji Xia, she followed all of Ji Xia's social media accounts and learned from Weibo that Ji Xia had gone to film a movie.

She also saved the two stills. Upon closer inspection, she found that the girl really looked a lot like herself, but she still didn't like her aggressive look.

Realizing that Ji Xia might not be at home, she chose to go to Ji Gang's house again.

In the evening, Ji Gang finished his stall and walked home with his wife. They talked about moving in the past few days. Ji Gang also said that he was going to buy some lunch boxes. He wanted to send lunch to his daughter every day. The lunch boxes of the crew were definitely not as healthy as his.

The two of them strolled home while talking. Before Ji Gang could pull the cart back, he heard the sound of high heels approaching. Jiang Yutao walked out of the darkness and stood at the door: "Shall we talk?"

The light in the corridor lengthened Jiang Yutao's shadow, casting it on Ji Gang, and he felt cold all over.

Jiang Yutao looked at the two of them proudly, her gaze scornful as she surveyed them. "This house is nice. Was it Xia Xia Xia who rented it for you?"

Ji Gang sat there helplessly, his face burning with pain. He knew that all this was provided by his daughter, but he still felt uncomfortable when it was said in such an unkind way. The same was true for Li Qian who was sitting next to him.

The awkward identities of both parties made this atmosphere even more prominent.

Seeing the other party's cowardly silence, Jiang Yutao sarcastically said, "Now that the child has grown up, she needs a better supporter behind her. I can bring her into contact with upper-level resources, I can invest in her movies, and I can help her get resources without having to kowtow." She smiled and took out a card from her bag: "Here is 300 million yuan. Let's see what else you can do besides drag her down?"

He casually threw the card on the table, and the "ding" sound was like a sharp knife stabbing into the man's heart, drawing blood.

"She can still be your child. She can go back with me and change her surname. I have no objection if she wants to honor you. You don't need that little bit of money." His expression was as if he was giving alms.

Looking at the man's lowered head and clenched hands, she said, "She's young, arrogant, and doesn't understand. Don't you understand either? If you really love her, go and persuade her and do as I say."

"Look at all the people online who are bashing her. Do you really think it was easy for her to get to where she is now? Can you bear to let her be blackmailed by the entire internet again?"

"This is my phone number. If you want to do a DNA test, just contact me. I'm always available to help." The maliciousness in his voice was unmistakable. "I don't believe you aren't curious about whether Xia Xia is your child."

Her words were like the whispers of hell, echoing in their ears over and over again.

The sound of high heels left the room, and the large room was filled with deathly silence. Li Qian looked at Ji Gang at a loss. Jiang Yutao's words just now were cruel but true. Every word dug out the fear buried deep in their hearts.

Ji Gang buried his head deep in his legs. He knew Xia Xia's situation well, and it was true that the three of them were dragging her down, but he knew Xia Xia's determination, and he knew that Xia Xia loved them very much.

But was Xia Xia really not their child? Where was their child? Did she really die young? Once this thought arose, it grew like weeds in spring, swiftly spreading in the wind.

For some reason, the pair of eyes he saw the night before suddenly appeared in his consciousness. His throat felt like it was being gripped by a pair of large hands, and he didn't know how to breathe.

On the third day after Ji Xia officially joined the crew, a new trend appeared on Weibo. The official Weibo account of [Chinese Paladin] directly released all the character photos:

[OMG, what's going on lately? So many TV series are filming at the same time?]

[Am I seeing this right? Lu Huaichuan is actually going to play a fairy tale. Isn't this photo too good to be true?]

[The heroine looks like Song Yurou from this perspective? ]

[These several dramas are being filmed at the same time, Phoenix, Dongfeng, and Chinese Paladin. Whoever has the lowest popularity when they air will be the most embarrassed.]

[That must be because our Chinese Paladin is so popular. What are you thinking? Are you trying to see how well our movie star can attract fans?]

The actors of these dramas must be under a lot of pressure. The contrast is quite terrible when they are broadcast at the same time.

[Song Yurou's photo is not as domineering as Ji Xia's photo from the previous two days]

[What do you know? Our acting skills are better than hers.]

[That’s not as good-looking as us, that’s a fact]

[Ours is an S-rank script, and yours is only B-rank. Let's show it and see who gets embarrassed.]

[Wasn't Li Jin previously confirmed for this role? Why is it Song Yurou now?]

[You said you were going to make a decision, so that doesn't mean you haven't made a decision yet?]
