In the car, Zhu Lin looked at her phone and said angrily, “This Nan Wan is too shameless, right?!”
“What’s wrong with her?” Shi Xi asked.
Zhu Lin handed her phone over. “Look at her latest Weibo! She’s saying that she’s the female lead of a big production and that it’s all her credit for the high box office sales. She’s really shameless!”
Shi Xi took a glance.
It was probably Nan Wan standing on a high spot, waving her hand and thanking the director and the other main characters of the movie.
It was just that in the middle, she emphasized that “It’s my first time acting in a xianxia movie in China,” “The movie is great, everyone is outstanding,” and “Our big production is different from a small-budget movie. There are many things that we want to express in it.”
She was just short of saying that Shi Xi’s low-budget movie was no good.
“It’s fine. We’re not going to compete with her,” Shi Xi said.
Zhu Lin: “I just can’t stand her self-righteous attitude. If she doesn’t have a good family background, would she even have the chance to act as the female lead?”
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘The main reason I’m acting as the female lead is because of my family background.’
An ordinary person would not be able to get a project worth 50 million.
“Don’t bother about her. We’ll just promote our own,” Shi Xi consoled her little assistant.
Zhu Lin looked at Shi Xi. “I just think that you’re so good and outstanding. Those resources should be yours!” she said, feeling aggrieved.
Shi Xi: “When my movie is a hit, all the resources will come to me!”
Zhu Lin’s heart felt stifled.
Being in the entertainment industry, Zhu Lin could sense the ostracization of Shi Xi.
Even though Shi Xi was pretty and famous, she came from a small company.
Kuai Xue Entertainment was only a small entertainment company under the Shi Corporation. It could not be compared to the large entertainment companies with deep assets and long history.
On the other hand, Nan Wan was the little princess of Yanjing. Shi Xi and Nan Wan were not on good terms, so the Yanjing circle even ostracized Shi Xi. They would never look for Shi Xi for big productions or good scripts.
If Shi Xi still wanted to continue acting, she could only continue acting in Kuai Xue’s self-made drama, and the chances of her being a star were very low.
Hence, Shi Xi was willing to bet on her future career to make a movie and prove herself with the box office.
If it really didn’t work out, she would go back and continue her studies. She would come back to work after graduation.
No destruction, no construction!

It was a variety show that Han Chuan had accepted for her.

When Shi Xi received the script, she was dumbfounded.
Who would like this kind of variety show?
“This is a popular variety show, with over 100 million views per episode,” Han Chuan said.
Shi Xi endured the humiliation and said, “I can understand. No one likes to survive in the wild, but they like to watch others survive in the wild.”
“Especially when you see celebrities embarrass themselves in the wild,” Han Chuan added.
