Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Change the Female Lead!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Weibao’s innate classical temperament, which radiated from her very bones, was something her surgically altered face could not compare with.
She was jealous, she was going crazy!
Especially when she saw the look in Xu Jiayang’s eyes as he gazed at Xia Weibao, Lin Mier felt uneasy.
The reason Xu Jiayang had chosen her for the lead role before was partly because there were no better options, and partly because she had slept with investors and brought funding to the project.
If there were now a better option, knowing Xu Jiayang’s stubbornness, she wondered what kind of decision he would make…
She had never known that there were people whose beauty could cause such restlessness in the heart.
Xu Jiayang looked deeply at Xia Weibao; no one knew what the genius director was thinking.
Finally, he understood what that indescribable quality about Xia Weibao was.
Classical beauty!
The woman of the moment was exuding a classical and graceful charm from her very core.
Otherworldly and stunning, gentle and touching.
“Get ready,” Xu Jiayang commanded with a grand gesture, and everyone took their places.
Dressed in white, she floated gracefully like a startled swan.
To the modern world, Qinggong was a myth.
But for Xia Weibao, once a divine healer who roamed Jianghu, it was a vivid reality.
She didn’t need wirework to perform flying eaves and walking on walls.
But to not terrify everyone, she obediently cooperated with the wire rigging.
The fight scenes she shot flowed like clouds and water, smooth and natural, imbued with an intrinsic beauty.
The moment she flew up from the ground perfectly embodied what it meant to be breathtakingly beautiful.
Graceful and lively, her white attire surpassed the purity of snow.
She didn’t look like she was hanging from wires but rather like a fairy descending from the heavens, brimming with immortal energy.
All the mockery from before had now vanished into thin air.
That night, Xu Jiayang couldn’t sleep.
From the moment he saw Xia Weibao walk out of the changing room, he knew she was the Li Qingcheng he had been searching for.
Lin Mier was arrogant and unruly, lacking any acting skills and sporting a mere internet-celebrity face.
She simply couldn’t compare with Xia Weibao.
However, Lin Mier represented popularity, she represented capital.
If Xia Weibao were to replace her, given the current state of the production, it would be an enormous problem.
After pondering all night, at four o’clock in the morning, he made a phone call.
“Damn it, Xu, do you know what time it is, waking people from their dreams?!” came the roaring voice from the phone, to which Xu Jiayang seemed to have grown accustomed.
“Leng Yan, I’m thinking of changing the lead actress.”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a while before asking, “Who do you want to switch to?”
“Xia Weibao.”
“Xu Jiayang, have you had a stroke or been possessed?!” Another roar came through the phone.
Changing the lead actress, and to Xia Weibao of all people, notorious Xia Weibao!
Xu Jiayang’s face was expressionless as he said, “I’m serious.”
“Are you out of your mind, do you want those haters’ spit to drown you? Everyone knows Xia Weibao’s reputation; any man who gets involved with her gets torn to shreds!
Everyone avoids her like the plague, yet you dare to cast her as the lead actress!”
Without imagination, the headlines the next day would either be about Xia Weibao climbing into Xu Jiayang’s bed, or Xu Jiayang forcing himself on Xia Weibao!
Leng Yan sat up in bed, irritatedly tugging his hair, wondering what had gotten into his friend in the middle of the night.
“Leng Yan, I can’t settle for this.”
