292 Ms. Xu’s Brutal Comment
Zhou Xuefang’s heart skipped a beat. When she looked up, she saw Sonya smiling at her.
This was what a female star that was truly worthy of respect should be like!
Xue Jian turned around and gave Sonya a look. She shrugged. Xue Jian didn’t say anything and just nodded at Zhou Xuefang, letting her follow them into the room.
Although Sonya’s dressing room was not as big as the VIP room, it was still twice the size of Zhou Xuefang’s.
As soon as she entered the room, all the makeup artists and hairstylists surrounded her.
Sonya loved this scene. She sat down at the makeup table, lifted her chin slightly, and faced the makeup artist.
Zhou Xuefang stayed in the room while Xue Jian and Chen Jing went out and closed the door.
Chen Jing looked around the room with a smile, then looked at the famous manager, Xue Jian, sitting opposite her. It was obvious that she also wanted to build a relationship with him.
However, before she could speak, Xue Jian spoke first, “well, I still have something to do. I’ll get going now.”
Chen Jing was caught off guard and almost bit her tongue.
Inside the house, Zhou Xuefang was sitting obediently beside Sonya. This was the first time she was so close to her idol, and her palms were sweating. “Ms. Sonya, my manager told me that you gave me this opportunity, I’m so grateful…”
Sonya calmly closed her eyes as the makeup artist applied eyeshadow on her.
“You don’t have to thank me. This is how the entertainment industry works. It’s the same as the topic of the show today, which is to pass on our legacy. I have better resources than you today, so I’ll help you a little. Who knows, I might even need your help in the future.”
Zhou Xuefang waved her hand, “that’s impossible. How can I be compared to you?”
Sonya said, “there’s always someone better. Nothing is impossible. Did you see the other guest? If she wants to make a comeback, you and I can both step aside.”
Zhou Xuefang leaned over, “do you know who she is?”
Sonya opened her eyes slightly and glanced at her, “you’ll know soon.”
Zhou Xuefang looked at her and bit her lip. “I really like you. Can I add you on WeChat?”
After three seconds of hesitation, Sonya took out her phone from her pocket. “Sure.”
“Ding!” The code was scanned. They were WeChat friends.
Seeing her idol’s profile picture appear in her WeChat, Zhou Xuefang felt a sense of glory in her heart. She immediately starred her profile.
Her idol was really easy-going.
Just as she was thinking, Sonya spoke again, “I’ve watched ‘The Billions Stars.’ You acted well.”
Zhou Xuefang looked up at her.
The makeup artist was applying red lipstick on Sonya, and her entire vibe changed. Sonya’s red lips curled up, “but why are there fewer and fewer scenes later?”
Zhou Xuefang’s smile froze.
Sonya’s manicured fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair. “It’s all Su Ji’s.”
Zhou Xuefang bit her lip, “the director said that it’s based on the audience’s preference…”
Sonya chuckled. “Do you believe that?”
Zhou Xuefang fell silent.
Sonya said, “how many episodes are left in your show? ”
“There are two more episodes. One before the lunar new year, one week off during the new year, and then the grand finale after. I’ll have a lot of scenes in the grand finale.”
Sonya shook her head, “according to the current plot, do you think it will still be the original ending?”
Zhou Xuefang’s heart sank.
When they first started filming “The Billions Stars”, the crew said that the plot would develop based on the audience’s preference, and the director and scriptwriter had the right to change the script in the future.
Zhou Xuefang clenched her fists.
Sonya’s voice was cold, “if Jingchuan and Su Ji are together in the end, then the female lead of the drama will be pushed aside.”
Zhou Xuefang’s face turned extremely ugly.
Sonya said, “but that’s not necessarily the case. There’s still time before the ending. Everything can change.”
She didn’t look at Zhou Xuefang as she spoke, but casually scrolled through her phone.
However, Zhou Xuefang took it very seriously.
**
An hour and a half later, Sonya was done with her hair and makeup.
Just then, Xue Jian knocked on the door and came in, saying that the director wanted them to rehearse.
“Let’s go together,” Sonya said to Zhou Xuefang.
Zhou Xuefang had been thinking about Su Ji the whole time, so she was a little absent-minded.
Sonya smiled, “let’s record the show first. We’ll think about the rest later.”
Zhou Xuefang nodded, “thank you, Sonya.”
The two of them came out of the door and saw the director knocking on the door of the VIP room next door. He was also calling for the VIP to come out and rehearse.
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
Sure enough, after a while, the door lock turned, and the door was bent at an angle. A fair wrist was placed on the side of the door frame. The woman was wearing a white silk dress.
She didn’t walk out immediately. She seemed to be greeting the director while answering the phone, “alright, I’ll be careful.”
Her voice was fresh and sweet, like she was acting coquettishly, but it wasn’t sickening. It was very gentle.
Zhou Xuefang immediately thought the name sounded familiar. The image of a female star who was famous all over the country seven or eight years ago flashed through her mind. She covered her mouth in surprise.
No way…
She was actually lucky enough to be on the same stage as her?
The next second, the woman hung up the phone and came out of the door. Zhou Xuefang raised her head and met her eyes.
The woman was tall and slender. Her long, soft black hair fell over her shoulders. It was undyed or permed, and the texture was excellent. She was a natural beauty.
When their eyes met, Zhou Xuefang’s legs almost gave out.
She had guessed right. This beauty was none other than the big star she had been thinking of, Ji Xi!
She was popular for a time, but then retired at her peak. She had no scandals so far and had an excellent reputation.
Ms. Jing was right, she was a goddess!
This kind of woman would never be a mistress. This was Zhou Xuefang’s first thought!
Ji Xi pushed her hair back and walked towards them. The woman did not put on any airs when she saw them, and instead smiled as if she had seen an old friend. “Sonya, Xuefang, I’ve seen your works. I like them very much.”
Zhou Xuefang grew up watching her films since middle school. Now that she was standing in front of her in person, it felt surreal.
She didn’t look like she was in her 30s with that physique and temperament.
She was even more beautiful than before.
Zhou Xuefang was still in a daze, but it was obvious that Sonya had managed to hold it in. She remained calm and politely extended her hand, “hello, Ms. Li. It’s our honor to be able to participate in the show with you…”
The back of Zhou Xuefang’s neck was numb the entire time. Even when the emcee, Ms. Lan sat across from the three of them, Zhou Xuefang still looked as if she was dreaming.
Their show was live-streamed this time, so Zhou Xuefang could already guess the netizens’ frenzy when they saw Ji Xi.
Director Duan also made a gesture to the host on stage to signal that there was an explosion of traffic on the platform.
Su Ji had been in the limelight for so long! Finally it was her turn to be lucky!
Zhou Xuefang didn’t even dare to imagine how beautiful the three of them would look when they sat together.
At the same time, Xu Mingzhi, who was entertaining her friend at home, happened to be watching the show. She heard that this show was very popular.
On her left was Su Ji, and on her right was Wen Man. Xu Mingzhi only looked at her for two minutes before she narrowed her eyes in disgust, “these b*tches, just by looking at her face, I can tell that none of them are decent people!”
