Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 983 - 972: Film Emperor

"Sister Gezi, what are you looking at?" Wen Chuan leaned over to see, and Li Ge immediately turned off the screen, but it was already seen.

"I was looking at news about Ye Qiu!" Wen Chuan didn’t doubt Li Ge’s relationship with Ye Qiu at all, "I also saw it. This senior Ye Qiu is really impressive, to be noticed by Director Li Gao. If only one day I could act in Director Li’s works."

"That day will come," Li Ge looked at him with a kind smile.

Wen Chuan felt a bit uncomfortable: "Sister Gezi, you’re only two years older than me. Can you stop looking at me like that? It’s unsettling; that look always reminds me of my mom."

Li Ge’s smile froze on her face at his words. Does she really look that old? Could it be that she usually comes across as too mature? Hopefully, no one suspects anything.

Just as she was about to explain, Wen Chuan swiftly changed the subject: "Sister Gezi, didn’t you get me a spot on a variety show? What do you think I should wear?"

Talking about work shifted Li Ge’s focus from Ye Qiu: "Just wear the plain white shirt and casual pants. No need for overly complicated makeup. It’s a slow-paced variety show. No matter how many cameras are on you, make sure to be natural, humble, and diligent. Even though you’re new, there’s nothing to fear."

"I understand." Wen Chuan encouraged himself, "Sister Gezi, you’ve worked hard to get me this opportunity. I will definitely perform well."

Li Ge knew that in a long period to come, the heat of fast-paced variety shows would die down, while slow-paced ones would become increasingly popular. The variety show she chose for Wen Chuan was a dark horse.

Initially, not many believed in it, but soon netizens found it unexpectedly wonderful. Wen Chuan, as a newcomer, had not yet honed his acting, singing, dancing, or stage presence enough, making this slow-paced variety show just right for him.

Especially since he appeared to have a cool and aloof demeanor, yet his personality was somewhat quirky and often said surprising things. Such a personality was just right for variety shows.

However, if he kept appearing on variety shows, it would give people the illusion that he’s just a variety show personality, which Li Ge, knowing what’s best, would never allow. So recently, she’s been selecting temporary guest spots for Wen Chuan. Once he became more recognizable, she’d send him to a film crew.

Thinking about acting naturally led her to think about that man. In terms of acting skills, back in the day, there were few in the entertainment industry better than him. And since leaving her, he seemed to have encountered even greater opportunities.

Indeed, her choice wasn’t wrong; from the beginning, they weren’t suited for each other.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was still unaware that Li Ge had made up her mind that they’d be better off not having any ties in this lifetime. He was currently shooting the costume photos for Young Master Yan Xin.

At 8 PM, the finale of "Murder Case" aired. When the ending came, Ye Qiu’s enigmatic smirk sent chills down the audience’s spines, as if they were being watched, unable to escape.

"Did any netizens get scared by that smile like I did? It was just too eerie, wasn’t it?"

"Yeah, yeah, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Can someone tell me why the brother smiled like that?"

"I have a bold hypothesis, not sure if it’s right. Perhaps the sister isn’t the only culprit."

"What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting the sister took the fall for the brother? That’s impossible; the evidence was conclusive."

"Nothing is impossible. Didn’t you notice? Although the brother is introverted, he had contact with all six members of the victim’s family."

"Did he? I don’t remember."

"Could the brother have dual personalities? If you suggest the brother might be the killer, I think it makes sense. Although the evidence is indisputable, the sister’s lingering glance is worth digging into. Xu Dai’s acting is indeed getting better; people shouldn’t just focus on her beauty."

"Ye Qiu’s portrayal of this brother was exceptional. After seeing his final smile, I’m even more looking forward to his portrayal of Young Master Yan Xin."

"But Young Master Yan Xin has an Immortal demeanor, indifferent to everything except showing a bit of warmth towards the male lead from his childhood. This brother’s gloominess is too different."

"That’s exactly why it proves Ye Qiu’s acting is good. Among young actors today, I can’t find a second one with acting skills like his."

"It’s not fair to praise one while stepping on others. I’ll admit Ye Qiu portrayed the brother well, but is he really flawless? That’s a bit arrogant."

"Exactly, newcomers should remain humble and cautious, or they’ll end up in trouble."

The online comments varied, but they all agreed on one thing: Ye Qiu, whose popularity had just declined, was on fire again. And right at this moment, Director Li Gao decided to add fuel to the fire by releasing Ye Qiu’s costume photos for Young Master Yan Xin.

The photo was very simple, with no background. Ye Qiu was dressed in all white, with a jade crown tying up his hair and a jade pendant hanging at his waist. His pose was also simple, a barely-there smile at the corner of his lips, and his deep gaze fixed on the camera.

Yet, this ordinary costume and pose made people a little breathless.

Almost everyone who saw the photo felt their breath catch, and the book fans of "Emperor Jiang" had a more direct perception, thinking: Young Master Yan Xin has come to life from the book! No wonder the Nine Greats praised him so highly!

"I’m in love, in love, oh my Young Master Yan Xin, can’t I be his fan?"

"I only have one sentence in my heart: How could there be such a stunningly beautiful young master in the world!"

"I only have two words in my heart right now: Truly Amazing! The more I doubted before, the more I like it now!"

"Director Li, could you stop teasing us? Please give us a date—when will production start? When will it air?"

"Suddenly remembered how some young actors, out of jealousy, hired Water Armies to smear others. Looking at it now, apart from Ye Qiu, no one else seems fit to play Young Master Yan Xin!"

Online praise continued, of course, based solely on a costume photo, some liked it, and naturally, some still questioned it, but compared to before, the hard stance had softened significantly.

"Emperor Jiang" indeed is an outstanding online novel that many book fans hope will be adapted into a TV series. They also knew that the book’s depiction of Young Master Yan Xin with Immortal Energy made it hard to portray, and finding someone like Ye Qiu was beyond their expectations.

So most remained hopeful. No matter what, they felt they could only pass judgment once the drama was out.

Meanwhile, Director Li Gao was living up to everyone’s expectations, quickly finalizing the lead roles and important supporting actors, all capable of delivering great performances, increasing the anticipation among netizens.

Ye Qiu joining the crew meant the buzz around him died down a bit, but for him, it was a good thing.
