When the Stars Tremble

Chapter 8: The eighth star

Views:

If Jiang Chuyi is guilty, please let God send down a bolt of lightning to kill her, instead of letting someone expose her fake account and let the real owner personally respond, causing her to remain at the top of the trending searches and become socially dead.

Jiang Chuyi's blood pressure soared. After a few minutes of calming down, he put down his phone and asked calmly, "What did Sister Ning say?"

"Sister Ning said to see which way the wind is blowing first." Xiao Zhong said cautiously, "If it doesn't work, we can remove the trending search later."

The spectators on Weibo are generally in a state of enjoying what they hear. It sounds a bit exciting at first when a female celebrity's secondary account is exposed, but when they see that the protagonist is a nobody, a small number of people lose interest. Looking at this nobody, he posts all kinds of random daily life, and they lose interest even more. The rest of the people are not interested in Jiang Chuyi, but in Zong Ye who was forced to get involved.

However, her way of riding on the popularity was quite unique, leaving Souya's fans speechless for a moment.

The moderates think that some of the glamorous female stars in the entertainment industry are actually my brother’s die-hard fans in private, and they can be considered as bragging material.

The radicals think: Since my brother made his debut, there have been too many young actresses paying homage to him, so any fake ones should stay away from him, and Zong Ye is the only one who is good.

However, due to the fact that Souya himself "politely" interacted on Weibo, some big fans noticed the studio's attitude. After all, it was the first time they worked together with the actress, so it was not easy to tear each other apart, so they could only take the lead in maintaining peace in the comment section, and the years were peaceful.

Thanks to Jiang Chuyi's long-standing popularity among the public, although she has been frequently criticized as a green tea character recently due to the broadcast of "The Mirror Blade", apart from the rumors in her early years, the general impression she left on the public is that of a gentle and elegant beauty who does not fight or compete.

So I haven’t been scolded too badly yet.

Jiang Chuyi opened her main Weibo homepage.

The latest Weibo post was just liked by Zong Ye.

She has been a marginal figure in the circle for a long time. She is not active in her daily life and has no endorsements. Therefore, she has basically not hired Internet trolls to collect data on her Weibo before. Even if she posts a selfie, there are only a few thousand comments. But this Weibo has nearly 30,000 comments and the number of likes has even reached more than 100,000.

Although she knew that she was just a partner that Zong Ye paid attention to out of courtesy, Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but feel a secret emotion rising in her heart, similar to being flattered.

The conference room at this time.

Xin He lowered her head to play with her phone for a while, then suddenly asked Ji Kai: "Can I switch seats with you?"

Fu Cheng glanced at her.

The seating list for this reading session was labeled with names. The staff from the costume and makeup and art teams sat on one side, the director and producer sat in the middle, and the main creators sat on the other side. From left to right were Jiang Chuyi, Zong Ye, Ji Kai, Xin He, Fu Cheng, and Wang Tan.

Xin He suddenly suggested changing seats, and Ji Kai was stunned, "Ah? What?"

"Change seats." Xin He pursed her lips, "This is a windy place, it makes me feel a little cold."

Ji Kai looked at her expression and immediately understood, "Oh, OK."

Xin He stood up, thanked him, and sat down next to Zong Ye.

Jiang Chuyi wandered outside the meeting room for a few minutes. Seeing that others had gone in one after another, she had no choice but to go back to her seat.

Although she was just informed by Zong Ye himself that he took the initiative to follow her Weibo, Jiang Chuyi's mood changed drastically from being calm when she left to sitting next to Zong Ye again.

Jiang Chuyi quickly recalled the flattery she and Xiao Xingxing had said against their will that day.

They were all some compliment quotes from fan circles that she had temporarily searched on Baidu, things like: Can such handsomeness really exist? It's hard to believe even if you see it with your own eyes; the real male protagonist of girls' comics, an arsonist of hearts and a girl sniper; he has a look that makes him look like someone you can toy with without being responsible.

Can't bear to think about it.

Jiang Chuyi opened her script and gave up the urge to explain to Zongye.

Anyway, it was better to say nothing since things had come to this. He was very considerate of her by responding publicly on Weibo. At least he didn't put her in an awkward position, and Jiang Chuyi was very grateful.

Throughout the reading session, Jiang Chuyi worked hard and focused on her work.

When she finished her lines at the end of the performance, the director suddenly asked, "Xiaoyi, how does it feel to work with your idol?"

The meeting room was silent for a moment, and then everyone gave her an ambiguous smile.

Jiang Chuyi pretended to be calm, pulled the corners of his mouth, and responded to the joke with self-mockery: "It's my pleasure."

No matter what everyone thought about this matter in their hearts, they were all decent people on the surface and did not tease her too much.

Jiang Chuyi put on a smile, but she was actually very desperate inside.

From now on, she may have to carry the character of a crazy fan of Souya all the way to the end.

Facts have proved that celebrities are not afraid of being criticized, and being an obscure person is the most miserable thing.

Since the official announcement of "Catching the Stars", Jiang Chuyi, as a minor supporting role, has been on the hot search list every other day. Today, she made an incredible news and was laughed at by everyone.

However, that evening Gao Ning received a message from a producer, inviting Jiang Chuyi to participate in the live broadcast event of "The Mirror Blade".

"Blade of the Mirror" is iFlytek's S project. It was marketed before filming even started. Even the drama between the main actors lasted for half a year. Recently, the discussion has been high. Jiang Chuyi was surprised when she heard the news: "I'm going too?"

Gao Ning: "They are giving you face."

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

"This is what they call a poor person living in a busy city with no one to care for him, while a rich person living in a remote mountain area has distant relatives." Gao Ning sighed, "Chu Yi, hug Zong Ye's thigh tightly for me and never let go, understand?"

Jiang Chuyi: "This goes against my professional ethics."

Her tone was so serious that Gao Ning almost vomited blood.

Knowing that she was a blockhead, Gao Ning stopped talking about it and instead told her about another matter: "When the live broadcast event comes, Bu Xiangchen will also participate. Remember not to interact with him, lest those CP fans start to make trouble again. If you want to unbind, cut off all ties."

Jiang Chuyi didn't care: "There are probably no more than a hundred fans of him and me."

"How can hyping up two 18th-tier obscure girls have any good results? If you want to hype you up, you have to pull the top stars with you, hype you up to the sky in one step, hype you up to the universe, and hype you up to become the new generation of top traffic star."

"Okay, let's stop talking and go to bed early."

Jiang Chuyi hung up the phone, interrupting Gao Ning's dream.

Resting at night, she lay in bed and read her private messages on Weibo as usual.

There are more messages today than ever before, and when I scroll down, they are all unread.

After causing such a big disturbance, it was inevitable that Jiang Chuyi received many "warning letters".

She glanced at them twice, and probably heard some words telling her not to be too extravagant, to focus on filming, not to have any inappropriate thoughts, and not to take the tolerance of Souya's fans as a reason to be shameless.

The curse was not that harsh.

The main idea can be summarized as follows: Anyone who tries to take advantage of the clan will be punished, even if he is far away.

Jiang Chuyi sighed.

Fortunately, she has always been a sensible person.

The filming progress in Venice during this period was relatively smooth, but Jiang Chuyi had stayed there for too long and it was obvious that she was not adapting to the climate there.

On the set, the teacher who was doing her makeup was worried that she might have the flu as she looked so pale.

A crew member couldn't bear to see this and kindly cooked a corn for her to fill her stomach.

It is the rainy season in Venice recently, and due to the needs of the scene, they have to take a break after shooting a few shots.

Several set designers gathered in front of the monitor, discussing the clip that had just been shot with the assistant director.

The wind started to blow in the evening, and there were drizzles of rain. Jiang Chuyi put on a coat and took advantage of the free time to take a walk with her assistant to the beach.

After walking around twice, I found everyone lying down or taking a rest.

Jiang Chuyi and her assistant also found a seat and sat down.

The two chatted for a while, and the assistant suddenly made a hushing gesture.

Jiang Chuyi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhong pointed back and motioned her to look over there.

Jiang Chuyi turned her head and swallowed the words back.

Not far away, near the edge of the shed, Souya was lazily sleeping in a black folding chair. He sat in a relaxed position, wearing headphones, with his arms crossed and resting behind his head, and the shoelaces on his right foot slightly untied. The sea breeze gradually rose, blowing the script buckled on his knees, turning page by page. The sky seemed to be dark, the sea was misty, and seagulls flew by. It is undeniable that Souya perfectly blended into this beautiful background, as if it was the opening of a movie.

Jiang Chuyi and Xiao Zhong looked at each other.

Under Jiang Chuyi's gaze, Xiao Zhong raised his phone slyly and asked tentatively, "It shouldn't be illegal to secretly take photos of other celebrities."

Jiang Chuyi instructed, "…Remember to turn off the volume button."

Xiao Zhong raised his phone and looked up and down, left and right to find the angle, changed different filters and took several pictures, and showed the results to Jiang Chuyi.

Out of basic professionalism, she couldn't help but whisper a few instructions, "The camera should move down a little, and don't focus the portrait too accurately, otherwise the picture will be too full."

While Jiang Chuyi was giving Xiao Zhong on-site instruction, a laugh suddenly came from above her head, "What are you doing? Are you taking pictures of our Zong Ye?"

The laughter made the two of them freeze immediately.

Wang Tan put his hands in his pockets, leaned forward and commented, "It's a pretty good shot."

At some point, Wang Tan and Fu Cheng were already standing behind them.

Jiang Chuyi hurriedly said that she was taking pictures of the scenery and quickly took Xiao Zhong's phone away, trying to confuse the situation.

Who would have thought that the usually taciturn Fu Cheng suddenly spoke up, without giving any face at all: "Isn't that your idol in the photo?"

Jiang Chuyi choked.

The rumors outside were indeed true. Fu Cheng was the biggest troublemaker in Xibao. It was best not to provoke him unless necessary.

Jiang Chuyi was silent for a while, then uttered, "Yes, idols are also part of the scenery."

As they were talking, the noise woke Zong up.

He took off his headphones and looked around.

Wang Tan spoke slowly, "You are finally awake, you are not pretending to be asleep, are you?"

There was something meaningful in this sentence. Jiang Chu secretly glanced at Zong Ye. He was looking at him and said in a gentle voice, "Are you taking pictures of me?"

Xiao Zhong tried to save the situation: "Teacher Jiang is teaching me how to take pictures of the scenery."

Zong Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Zhong nervously squeezed out another sentence, "By the way, I accidentally took a picture of you.

Zongye looked at her and asked with a smile: "How many photos did you take?"

I guess there are about 20 or 30 of them.

Xiao Zhong didn't dare to tell the truth, so he counted with his hands and tried to smile: "I think there are five or six."

After a brief silence, Zong Ye asked Jiang Chuyi with a questioning look, "Can you send me a WeChat message?"

Jiang Chuyi reached for her cell phone.

She picked out the picture sent by Xiao Zhong and was fiddling with it to send it to Zong Ye when she was elbowed several times.

Jiang Chuyi raised her eyes and saw Zong Ye holding his cell phone towards her.

She hesitated, but still smiled politely.

Then their eyes met, and Zong Ye motioned for her to lower her head.

Immediately afterwards, WeChat vibrated repeatedly and the other party sent several pictures.

Jiang Chuyi clicked it, and suddenly stopped moving, not daring to move at all.

These are the photos he just took of her.

Zong Ye: "Reciprocity"

Jiang Chuyi stared at the photos stupidly, flipping through several of them, opening and closing her lips, but in the end she couldn't say a word.

As I was lost in thought, I swiped my thumb to the right and the last picture came into view.

—She was squatting next to the set designer and chewing corn just now.

The hair is almost sticking to my mouth.

Jiang Chuyi was slightly embarrassed and a little panicked.

Why is there this

Seeing her looking at him, Zongye tilted his head slightly, squinted his beautiful eyes and looked back at her. The sea breeze blew his hair slightly messy.

Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but look away first.

Fu Cheng watched his leg-breaking performance with cold eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "I don't know why Zong Ye is being so pretentious."

Wang Tan put his arm around his neck and said slowly, "Don't ask. If you ask, it's a two-way rush between fans and idols."
