Chapter 373 - 373: Mental-boomed, Who Exactly Is Si Fuqing?
Translator: _Min_
Meng Xue expressed her surprise, “How many people must be vying for this?”
Feng Peizhi advised her earnestly, “This time, the production will surely gather many top-tier actresses. Remember to make connections with these seniors; they are valuable resources for the future.”
Meng Xue etched these words in her heart.
She no longer dwelled on Si Fuqing snatching her variety show opportunity.
After all, the company had invested their best resources in her.
Tang Haiqiu’s new Xianxia drama had a reach far beyond any reality show.
Her primary focus remained on the film and television industry.
The following day dawned.
Si Fuqing rose early to walk her dog.
On her return, the assistant director, along with Meng Xue and Chi Yu arrived.
This marked the arrival of the special guests for this episode.
“Hello, everyone,” Meng Xue greeted them politely. “This is my first time on a variety show, so please, take good care of me.”
[Mengmeng, AH! AH! AH! AH!]
[Today is a meeting of the new and old star of the Starry Star Girls. This will be interesting!]
[Old? Meng Xue has already starred in three dramas. What does Si Fuqing have? Don’t even compare them.]
[Si Fuqing’s fans really like to ride on the coattails of seniors. It’s off-putting.]
Throughout, Meng Xue didn’t even glance at Si Fuqing.
It wasn’t out of mockery or disdain.
In her eyes, with her status, there was simply no need to bother about someone like Si Fuqing.
Ning Luoyao whispered, “Are your relations really that bad?”
“We have no relation, so there’s nothing bad about it,” Si Fuqing replied nonchalantly, “Want some beef jerky?”
Ning Luoyao’s eyes sparkled, “Yes, please!”
Meng Xue cast an indifferent glance at Ning Luoyao, who hadn’t approached them.
The eight of them embarked on a new day of survival.
Along the way, they encountered obstacles prepared by the production team.
The first challenge awaited them at the entrance of a village.
“Today’s task is quite special,” the assistant director said, looking at the card in his hand. “We will split into four groups of two. Each group must prepare a performance.”
“The group that attracts the most audience will receive the most resources.”
[Honestly, the production team takes good care of everyone. They even arranged stage performances for Meng Xue and Chi Yu, and even calligraphy for Teacher Shen.]
[It seems Si Fuqing is the one who’s been neglected, right? But who knew, she’s good at everything.]
The participants drew lots again.
This time, Ning Luoyao was lucky to team up with Si Fuqing.
She jumped with joy, “Qingqing, Qingqing, look! We’re in the same group!” Qi Shuning drew Meng Xue’s lot and sighed with relief.
She Imew she was no performer, at best capable of reciting poetry.
But Meng Xue was different. As the captain and center of the Starry Star Girls, her skills surely surpassed Si Fuqing’s.
Qi Shuning had nothing to worry about.
“Shuning.” Meng Xue also had the intention to befriend Qi Shuning, “I’m so happy to be in the same group as you.”
Qi Shuning was a rising star of the Great Xia Platform, and building a good relationship with him was essential.
Yuan Heping had access to movie resources, while Shen Xiuwen was backed by the Heaven Earth Alliance.
Among the six permanent guests, indeed, it seemed that Si Fuqing was the least worthwhile to establish connections with.
“Meng Teacher, hello,” Qi Shuning greeted with a smile, “I’m glad to meet you.” After being rebuffed by Si Fuqing for days, she finally felt vindicated.
The same group, yet the difference was stark.
Si Fuqing seemed clueless about winning people over.
Xu Jiannian and Chi Yu formed a group, leaving Yuan Heping and Shen Xiuwen together.
The production team provided various musical instruments for the guests to choose from.
“Qingqing, I don’t really have any talents,” Ning Luoyao confessed, touching her head. “I can dance a bit of ancient dance and play the piano.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this,” Si Fuqing said, flexing her wrists. “I’ll go big this time, I won’t let you end up sleeping on the streets.”
The director, hearing “go big,” felt a twitch in his eyelids, a foreboding feeling creeping in.
Si Fuqing had never promised to go big in previous recordings, and that already mentally-boomed him.
How much bigger could it get?
Just the thought gave the director a headache, as he clutched his chest. “Quick, have the pills ready for me.”
“I’ll go first,” Meng Xue said, changing into a traditional-Xia outfit. “I’ll perform a dance, though it’s just a little something.”
Qi Shuning accompanied her on the guzheng.
Undeniably, as the captain of a girl group, Meng Xue’s skills were formidable.
Her dance, “Fan Dance of Ink,” was full of ancient charm.
[Meng Xue is indeed someone who’s been invited to the Heave Earth Alliance.
Her ancient dance is too good!]
[This is more than just a little; she’s too modest..]
