Chapter 368 The Cameo of the Courtesan
[Ding! Host, please note that Mr. Su's desire for sponsorship has reached its peak.]
[He wasn't just doing this for charity; his eyes were now searching for Jiang Baizhi. I suggest that when you disguise yourself tonight, you must maintain a cool and aloof demeanor, otherwise I'm worried these three stepmothers will drag you out for afternoon tea.]
"Take me out for afternoon tea? I think they just want to make me their fifth sister!"
Jiang Bai turned off his phone, feeling like crying but having no tears left.
at the same time.
Just as the Shanghai Theatre Academy's playground was bustling with activity, and various celebrity alumni were entering the venue.
On the internet, the battle over Jiang Baizhi has quietly begun.
On Weibo's trending topics list, the hashtag #JiangBaizhiPerformance, Shanghai Theatre Academy Stage Fundraising# is firmly in seventh place, followed by a dark purple "hot" icon.
It's filled with comments from fans!
[Guys, I've arrived at Shanghai Airport! The Didi driver, upon hearing I was going to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, gave me a knowing look and played "Gently Tell You" the whole way. I almost went crazy with excitement in the back seat! Image.jdp]
[I envy those who can be there in person! We international students, far away across the ocean, can only catch a glimpse of her through the Shanghai Theatre Academy's live stream. When the live stream starts and it's Bai Zhi's turn, I'll wash dishes for a month to give her the loudest support!]
[I'm still a little worried. After all, so many people came to the Shanghai Theatre Academy's charity fundraising stage, even Zhang Dali went. What if Bai Zhi's donations are among the lowest? After all, Bai Zhi doesn't have a Weibo account, and she didn't organize this fundraising event!]
[To the person upstairs: We can only rely on ourselves now. Hopefully... we won't come in last?]
Just as fans were frantically helping each other and exchanging support tips.
Someone suddenly sent a screenshot.
The image was captured from a video.
The background is an ancient-style building, and above the building, a girl dressed in a fiery red dress is slightly tilting her head.
Sharp-eyed fans recognized her immediately – it was Jiang Baizhi!
Unlike the innocence of "Gently Tell You" or the sanctity of "I Love You, China".
The girl in the picture has a captivating and alluring beauty in her eyes, bordering on aggressive.
[Is this...is this the goddess Bai Zhi? Am I blind, or has the world gone mad?]
[Looking at those features, she's definitely the goddess Bai Zhi! But this outfit... that red dress, this hair accessory, isn't it Empress Zhang Yan from "Beauty's Rival in Palace"?]
[Maybe it is? After all, Bai Zhi (Angelababy) seems to have acted in "Beauty's Rival in Palace," where she mostly wore red?]
[This is definitely not Zhang Yan from "Beauty's Rival in Palace"! Zhang Yan's style is tragic beauty, but the person in this picture is simply... a devastatingly beautiful vixen!]
[When did our goddess secretly film another drama? We need the source! We're begging for it!]
[+10086! Does anyone know which TV series this is? I'm going to watch it right now!]
At first, everyone thought it was a fake picture or photoshopped.
Until the person who posted this picture came forward and revealed the answer!
[This is a low-budget web series I watched when I was bored, called "The Heroines of a Knight-Errant"! It's not a good series, but, hehe, it actually features the goddess Bai Zhi! However, you don't need to watch it specifically, because Bai Zhi only appears for a few seconds and has very few lines (sigh).jpd]
soon.
More and more people are leaving comments here.
[Found it! It really is the goddess Bai Zhi! Ahhhhh!]
To be honest, this web series wasn't very good, but Bai Zhi's acting was superb!
[Watching this makes me want to travel back in time and be that young master being toasted by the goddess Bai Zhi! Waaaaah, the courtesan, the queen of courtesans, she's so captivating!]
[So alluring! If it weren't for Bai Zhi's stunning face, I wouldn't have recognized her! The captivating acting and expressions of the courtesan are completely different from the fragile and broken look Zhang Yan portrayed in the official stills of "Beauty's Rival in Palace"!]
The entire internet froze for three seconds.
Immediately afterwards, everyone started checking in.
This trending topic also jumped from seventh to fifth place because of this picture!
.......
Inside a film and television company in Kyoto, shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.
Director Hu was slumped in his office chair, sighing deeply as he watched the web series "Heroic Sons and Daughters" on the screen.
That expression was even worse than if he had eaten a whole box of unripe bitter melons.
"Staring, always staring! Does this leading lady have springs in her eyes?"
Director Hu looked at the screen full of comments and felt utterly hopeless.
[Did this actress get the role through connections? Besides her surgically enhanced face and wide-eyed stares, what else is there?]
[The plot is terrible, the acting is off-putting, director, how did you manage not to smash the camera in her face?]
[How could this kind of show even be released? What a waste of my time!]
Seeing all these negative reviews, Director Hu silently put down the instant noodles in his hand.
He knew better than anyone that this was an "industrial garbage" forcibly cobbled together to promote the investors' families.
Just then, a private message popped up on the computer; it was from assistant director Zhuang Han.
Zhuang Han: [Director Hu, look at the trending topics! Jiang Baizhi is going viral! Didn't we have a cameo scene of her playing a courtesan in our drama? How about... we strike while the iron is hot and edit her scenes into a trailer and release it? We might as well capitalize on this wave of popularity!]
Director Hu stared at the message, and his previously suppressed anger suddenly flared up to the top of his head. He let out a caged beast-like roar in his office:
"Screw you! Just thinking about it gives me heartburn!"
Director Hu was replying to messages while simultaneously ranting and raving:
"If it weren't for those investors insisting on adding scenes for that 'staring woman,' changing the plot so drastically that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her, would I have ended up in this situation?"
He closed his eyes, and a scene from September, filming at the film studio, flashed through his mind.
At that time.
Jiang Baizhi, dressed in red, simply stood there, and the aura of coolness and charm that perfectly intertwined captivated everyone present.
"One thousand dollars..."
Director Hu rubbed his aching nose, his voice trembling with tears:
"I only spent a thousand dollars to find the most stunning face of this century!"
"If I had any backbone back then, I would have risked losing investors to replace Jiang Baizhi as the female lead. I'd probably be preparing my Oscar acceptance speech by now!"
