Sang Yanqing was dictating a clarification to the agent’s assistant.
Upon hearing this, she was momentarily stunned. “Help with what?”
“Help him dig out his real girlfriend,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Since the issue has come to me, it’s only right that we help.”
“It’s still unclear whether his girlfriend is a celebrity or a non-celebrity,” Sang Yanqing frowned, “He’s backed by Shengxing Entertainment and is used to employing such public relations tactics.”
“He definitely won’t meet with his girlfriend during this period. After the situation dies down, they’ll break up and he’ll return to being single, attracting back his former fans.”
Being an agent herself, she was well aware of Xu Jianian’s team’s intentions. The agent’s assistant took out a phone, “Sister Sang, you have a call.”
Sang Yanqing answered and, after listening for a moment, expressed her surprise, “Okay, okay, thank you for now.”
After the call, she explained, “That was from Helan Ze’s team. They said they’ll try their best to uncover Xu Jianian’s girlfriend to help clarify for you.”
Si Fuqing was intrigued, “Any enmity?”
“Rivals,” Sang Yanqing nodded, “I checked, and two years ago, they clashed. Xu Jianian’s team deliberately slandered Helan Ze for sleeping with fans, although it was eventually clarified, Helan Ze experienced months of widespread online backlash. ”
Si Fuqing commented lightly, “That’s quite a dirty trick.”
“It is indeed dirty,” Sang Yanqing shook her head, “As your resources grow, so will the number of people envious of you. Be prepared.”
“Tell them that we’ll release the real girlfriend today,” Si Fuqing suggested, stroking her chin, “and while we’re at it, help them clarify that past incident about the sleeping with fans. They just need to pay us a hiring fee.”
Sang Yanqing was shocked.
Is this really a way to make money?
“Hurry, hurry,” Si Fuqing adjusted her makeup, “I’m off to shoot now. Make sure you negotiate a good deal for me.” Sang Yanqing numbly redialed.
The call left Helan Ze’s agent equally baffled.
“Helan Ze, Miss Si is quite interesting,” he turned to say, “But with Xu Jianian hiding so well, I doubt they’ll find her.”
Helan Ze’s expression remained calm, “We’ll have to find her regardless. I still remember what happened back then.”
Being slandered was one thing.
But at that time, a fan was cyberbullied, which left her still suffering from severe depression today.
“Don’t worry, he’s completely fallen this time. Even if he recovers later, he won’t be able to compare with you,” the agent assured, “But rest assured, the slander against you back then will be settled this time.”
At the “Crossing the Demon Realm” filming site, members of the Heaven Earth Alliance martial arts department arrived.
“Qingqing, this is Teacher Wu from the Heaven Earth Alliance martial arts department,” Tang Haiqiu introduced, “He started practicing martial arts at three and has been training for thirty years.”
Si Fuqing smiled, “Teacher Wu.”
Teacher Wu, a serious elder brother, greeted, “Miss Si.”
He examined Si Fuqing and suggested to Tang, “Director Tang, let’s switch to a sword. It suits Miss Si better.”
Thus, Tang Haiqiu asked the staff to bring the prepared long sword.
Teacher Wu took Si Fuqing aside to discuss the scene, explaining a few martial arts moves before attempting to practice with her.
“Teacher Wu, there’s no need,” Si Fuqing said, “I can start directly.”
“Alright, let’s go through it once,” Teacher Wu nodded, “Just to see where you might need improvement.”
As the camera was set, Tang Haiqiu sat in front of the monitor, ready to watch.
Si Fuqing, known on set as “one-take wonder,” had never needed a retake up till now.
But this fight scene wouldn’t be easy.
Tang Haiqiu was prepared for multiple takes.
On the monitor, Si Fuqing slowly lifted her head.
Without any heavy makeup, just her bare face, but a single glance from her was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
The next moment, she leaped into the air, the long sword flipping in her hand.
Her stance was fierce yet retained a feminine grace.
After a flip and landing, the surrounding rocks trembled.
“Boom!”
The prop bomb exploded, and smoke spread everywhere.
“Cut!” Tang Haiqiu’s face flushed with excitement, “Excellent, it’s a one-take. That’s a wrap for the fight scene. Let’s take a break and then move on to the next scene.”
Si Fuqing put down the sword and went to drink water.
Tang Haiqiu replayed the footage several times, growing more amazed with each viewing. “Little Wu, you’ve outdone yourself,” he praised, “This combination of moves is incredibly cool, and the swordplay, especially those flourishes, is just superb. Great teaching.”
Teacher Wu, completely bewildered, responded, “No, I didn’t teach her that. Miss Si suggested we just go for it..”
