Lu Man casually found the marketing public account he had often cooperated with on his cell phone.

He did not expect this small matter to kill Xia Wei. He only hoped to disgust her and establish his hardworking persona in the entertainment industry!

However, what Lu Man did not know was that this persona could not be established at all. This was because his assistant had already shown his fear in front of everyone outside the consultation room while he was acting in front of the doctor.

His true appearance, which was full of nagging and dissatisfaction, had already been revealed by his assistant. Xu Kai and his colleagues from the production team had seen his true appearance clearly. He could not act in this “show” for long!

That night, Xia Wei’s appearance in the hospital was on the trending list for a long time. Her cute interaction with the dozen or so fans made many netizens who were chasing celebrities, envious.

When Xia Wei led the group back to the hotel, they bumped into the peak of the trending traffic.

After casually replying to a few netizens under her account, she threw away her cell phone and went to wash up and remove her makeup. As Lu Man was still in the hospital, the filming for the production team stopped that night.

It was rare for her to end work so early today. After washing up, Xia Wei called the physiotherapist who was with her.

The wound on her waist had healed a lot, but it still hurt when she stood for too long or moved too much. Physical massage could relieve such a situation very well!

At three in the afternoon the next day, Xia Wei and the actor playing Lord Jiping were filming a very important martial arts scene. She and this actor were very professional actors, and their cooperation was extremely smooth. Many extremely difficult martial arts moves were passed in one go.

Xu Kai’s gloomy mood because of Lu Man gradually cleared up.

“Cut! This scene is over. Everyone, rest for five minutes.” Xu Kai’s voice came from behind the monitor. Everyone at the filming location heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Kai glanced at the two actors on stage and continued with a smile, “Makeup artist, touch up the makeup at the corner of Teacher Ji’s mouth. Xia Wei, take a rest and drink some water. You don’t look too good today. Did you not sleep well last night?”

Hearing this, Xia Wei turned to look at Xu Kai and casually handed the longsword in her hand to Lin Yi. “I’m fine. It’s just that it’s too hot today. I’m a little out of sorts!”

As she spoke, she looked at Teacher Ji beside her and smiled. “Teacher Ji’s reaction just now was really good. 1 didn’t expect it to be like this! Impressive.”

Teacher Ji liked Xia Wei’s honesty.

He also smiled and gave Xia Wei a thumbs up. He said loudly, “You’re not bad either. I’m afraid 1 wasn’t even half as good as you when 1 was your age! You’re an actor who came from an acting school, right? Which school did you go to before?”

Teacher Ji was obviously not the kind of person who liked to surf the Internet, so his understanding of Xia Wei was limited to all the scenes with Xia Wei today. He was also sincerely trying to understand this very beautiful actress.

“I’m a student of Jinbei Film Academy. The instructor who taught me was Ms. Bai Ye. You should know her, right?” Xia Wei replied gently.

Teacher Ji’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and the smile on his face widened. “So you’re Old Bai’s student. Which year are you from? Speaking of which, 1 haven’t seen Old Bai in a long time. She invited me to try a role previously, but I was not in good health at that time, so I rejected her. However, 1 heard that her movie has been postponed. I wonder if there’s still a chance!”

After hearing this senior actor’s words, Xia Wei immediately knew what the movie he was talking about was. She thought for a moment and chuckled. “You’re talking about ‘Zhaoyuan’, right? The movie where Ms. Bai was the first screenwriter?”

Ji Yan did not expect Xia Wei to know so much and was immediately slightly shocked. “This matter is still semi-secret in the industry, right? How do you know so much? Did Old Bai tell you?”

Looking at the faint smile on Xia Wei’s face, Ji Yan suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little ignorant. He glanced at the staff around them and continued to ask in a suppressed voice, “I heard that the two main actors of this movie have already been decided. Don’t tell me you’re the female lead that Old Bai chose?”

“Teacher Ji, who said that I was chosen?” Xia asked with a smile, but there was a hint of oblivion in her eyes..
