The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 449

Although the heat returned to the WeiXiao CP novel where Wei and Xiao held hands, Chen Xinya, having tasted the sweetness, came to the set this morning, got her makeup and hair done, and started looking for them.

Since they had the same scene to shoot, she would definitely see them.

A few minutes later, she saw Qin Wei change into her costume and get her makeup and hair done. She was wearing a striking red power suit, with her hair tied up by a golden hairpiece, the color particularly eye-catching.

The movie backdrop was fantasy, and in order to have good enough visual experience, considerations of reflecting class levels in costumes were not taken.

In one hand she held the script, and in the other she held an umbrella, chatting and laughing with colleagues beside her.

Colleague Xiao Qiao wore a deep blue dance costume, setting off her snow-white skin. All her hair accessories and jewelry were silver, just like Zhao Yu's gold and red, also for the purpose of being visually dazzling enough.

She also held the script, and in her other arm she hugged Ju An.

She didn't speak, just smiled, listening to the person beside her speak.

A pair of fairies walked by, and the crew's photographers and videographers were busy shooting. Chen Xinya couldn't help but take a photo, but she also knew she couldn't post it.

These were all used as behind-the-scenes footage released for publicity later on. At this stage, the costumes and styling were confidential. Posting them would surely bring the crew's sanctions. Even the actors themselves would censor their Weibo posts to avoid leaks.

Chen Xinya was not stupid either. She just took the photos and saved them to post when the movie premiered.

Director Yuan clapped his hands at the two people's looks and kept praising how good they looked, and said he would treat the designer to chicken legs, and also praised the designer.

Director Yuan: "Ahaha, the designer is me!"

...

There was still some time before shooting started. Director Yuan briefly talked through the scenes with the actors who had scenes today, then went to mind his own business.

A few actors sat together. Li Hanming asked Qiao Sixiao:

"Teacher Qiao, you're holding Ju An right?"

Qin Wei answered ahead:

"That's right, it's my baby."

Qiao Sixiao looked at the little bear and sighed:

"It looks like this silly little bear is quite popular? You all recognize it?"

Chen Xinya chimed in:

"Of course! In the eyes of CP fans, Ju An is the one and only child of WeiXiao. Many CP fans even use it as their profile picture. Moreover, this bear is sold out globally. Even the brand is starting to stock up, wanting Ju An to endorse them."

Qin Wei squeezed Ju An's hand and said:

"Although Ju An is my baby, I can't give birth to something like this. SiSi bought it so it's SiSi's child o(^o^)o~"

Qiao Sixiao snorted:

"Nonsense, do you believe I'll beat you to death o(^o^)o~"

Chen Xinya eagerly posted on Weibo——

【Chen Xinya: Little security guard Ju An is online eating melon seeds. At this very moment I've seen Ju An! It really smells like oranges! Little Ju An and its mommies use the same perfume! Ah! I'm dead! Ship me away now!!】

She posted in the WeiXiao super topic, gaining over ten thousand likes and comments within minutes——

【Damn! I've gotten fat from all the sweetness recently】

【Sister Chen Xinya please keep up this pace!!】

【I'll just ask one thing, no pics??】

【Chen Xinya: Because the looks are confidential for now, sorry, no pics for the moment】

...

After Chen Xinya posted, she asked Qiao Sixiao:

"Can I take a picture with Ju An?"

"Of course not."

Qin Wei politely replied,

"The one surnamed Qiao can't even take a picture with it, my Ju An is a top-clout female celeb. None of you can try to gain clout from it."

Chen Xinya: "..............."

...

After that, everyone briefly rehearsed their lines, practising twice before officially starting the shoot.

In pursuit of visual aesthetic, the palace's interior design and layout rented the largest studio in the filming location, then spent three months renovating it. Director Yuan was also very thoughtful to open the windows and ventilate for half a month after the renovation was completed, so coming in to film, no one would feel uncomfortable from any smell.

Today's shoot was the scene of the envoy entering the enemy state and meeting with the enemy ruler in the palace.

The enemy state ruler looked down on the envoy, saying it was from a tiny weak state that didn't dare fight back, had no capable people in the country, and at this moment still couldn't win against a woman. As he spoke, he sent up a woman dressed as a dancing girl, saying that perhaps the envoy couldn't even beat this one dancing girl. Let the world see how pathetic these small countries were, unable to put up a fight.

The envoy sent Zhao Yu to take up the challenge, without any extra words said. Zhao Yu drew out a longsword, put on a golden mask, and stepped onto the stage.

This was the scene they were about to shoot——

Zhao Yu stepped onto the stage. Nothing could be seen behind the golden mask, only a pair of firm, tranquil eyes. She held the sword in both hands, placing it horizontally before her face. In her eyes was the cold gleam of the sword's edge.

Chen Xinya, playing the role of the dancing girl, likewise held a longsword, full of charm(?)

The drum beat started. Following the beats, the two started their duel.

The woman before her, although dressed as a dancing girl, was actually the enemy state's top assassin. The ruler decided to have her openly kill someone on the spot to discourage the envoy's morale, and let the world see how pathetic these small countries were, unable to put up any resistance.

The fight began. Swords clashed, sparks flew, at first Zhao Yu was at a disadvantage, then she defended strike after strike, constantly passive.

But the two moved as quick as swirling clouds and flowing water, still making for good visuals.

"Cut! Done with this take. Let's take a break, continue in a bit."

After Director Yuan finished, Li Liang ran up to take the sword and mask off Qin Wei's hands.

Just about to leave, she heard Chen Xinya's aggrieved voice:

"Weiwei you went overboard, my hand hurts..."

Her assistant came over to take a look, then complained:

"A bit excessive. Taking advantage of filming to bully others, how excessive..."

It just so happened Qin Wei overheard. Qin Wei turned around and walked back, asking Chen Xinya's assistant:

"Where exactly did I take advantage of filming to bully others?"

The assistant didn't say anything, just acted pitiful like Qin Wei had bullied her.

The crew looked over. Chen Xinya also had a wronged face, just waiting for Qin Wei to get angry, then let the whole crew see and gossip about her.

The confidentiality level for this scene was very high, but after all there were a lot of people on set. People just can't help but gossip about secrets. In the industry no walls were airtight.

"Weiwei, no, it just hurts a bit..."

Chen Xinya said as such, but acted all aggrieved.

Qin Wei raised a hand and gave her a loud, clear slap.

Everyone was stunned.

Time stood still.

Qin Wei said to her:

"I just want to say, I didn't take advantage of filming to bully anyone. If I wanted to bully someone, it would be by this standard, openly bullying."

Chen Xinya's mind went blank for a good few minutes. She expected Qin Wei to get angry, but really didn't expect her to dare be so blatantly aggressive. This was bullying!

She didn't even dare to before. Chen Xinya had angered her in the past too, but only got scolded at most. After getting scolded she would then pitifully go in front of the camera and act pitiful, never failing to work. But now she was this arrogant??

"You!!"

Chen Xinya covered her hot, stinging cheek, with a wronged look as she pointed at Qin Wei. But before she could say anything, she saw Qin Wei covering her own hand, beating her to shout first:

"SiSi, SiSi! My hand hurts so much wuwuwu!"
