Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 59 - Is this a joke
Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Is this a joke?
Chapter 59 -59 Is this a joke?
Fang Yan asked Luo Ning, “Have you taken an interest in any drama?”
Luo Ning picked up a Fantasy Martial Arts Drama script and said, “I want to play the role of the villainous Second Female.”
She had been quite fond of this Fantasy Martial Arts Drama in her previous life. Initially, the director wanted her for the role, but at that time she was being tarnished by slander. Moreover, Yan Qiuping deliberately sabotaged her, resulting in the investors choosing an actress backed by a wealthy patron.
However, when the drama was released, that actress was exposed with an array of scandals, and on top of that, the photos of her being slapped by her patron’s wife and caught by the paparazzi dragged down the drama as well. It failed to make much of an impact.
Luo Ning saw great potential in the role of the villainous Second Female. Since the production team had already sent her the script ahead of others, it didn’t involve snatching the role from anyone, so she wanted to give it a try.
Fang Yan had a significant virtue; he would never force his artists into something they didn’t want.
He knew Luo Ning was quite opinionated. “I’ve read the script as well. If the Second Female is portrayed well, it can indeed be a standout role. Go ahead and give it a try. I’ll speak with the director later.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Fang.” Luo Ning really appreciated this aspect of Fang Yan.
Fang Yan smiled, “You don’t need to be polite with me.”
Having decided to take on the role of Second Female in the Fantasy Martial Arts Drama, Luo Ning also picked out a watch advertisement to endorse.
Seeing she had only chosen these two projects, Fang Yan didn’t say much. “The live-streaming variety show you’re a part of is currently ranked first in on-demand views. Ji Xinghang and Bo Xiangxiang’s popularity will also give you a boost in the next few days. Make sure you keep up the good performance in the upcoming episode.”
“I am waiting for you to clear all the past scandals on the live-streaming variety show.” He had been watching the live stream every day and found Luo Ning’s performance surprisingly impressive, which was a great surprise to him.
If she maintains her performance in the second episode, he would be able to secure even better resources for her.
Luo Ning smiled and nodded: “No problem!”
After having lunch together, Luo Ning received a call from Mr. Ji, asking her to go directly to the Wu Family’s place.
Luo Ning did not ask Mr. Ji to send someone to pick her up; instead, she had her driver take her there.
By the time she arrived at the Wu Family’s residence, Mr. Ji was already there.
She smiled and greeted him, “Uncle Ji!”
Mr. Ji said with a smile, “Ningning is here.”
“Let me introduce you; this is Wu Jianfeng, the current head of the Wu Family. Just call him Uncle Wu,” he then introduced the refined middle-aged man standing beside him to Luo Ning.
Wu Jianfeng was momentarily taken aback upon being introduced to the Feng Shui Master recommended by his friend.
The girl looked like a high school student; could she really solve the Feng Shui issues for the Wu Family? Was this some sort of joke?
Although he was skeptical, he didn’t show it on his face, out of respect for Old Ji.
“Miss Luo, hello!”
Wu Jianfeng didn’t follow the entertainment industry, so he had no idea Luo Ning was a star.
Naturally, Luo Ning could sense his doubt, but that was to be expected and she wasn’t offended, “Hello, Uncle Wu!”
“Miss Luo’s father is a very skilled Feng Shui Master, and she has learned a great deal of her father’s skills. That’s why I’ve asked her to come here to take a look for you,” explained Mr. Ji.
“Should we start with her examining your house?” he then asked.
Actually, even Mr. Ji wasn’t completely confident inside.
What else could Wu Jianfeng say? He could only nod, “Alright, then please, Miss Luo, start by seeing if there’s anything wrong with my house.”
This was the old Wu Family’s house, where the Old Master Wu and the direct lineage of the Wu Family’s three brothers resided.
Old Master Wu had an unfortunate fall last month that broke his leg, and he is still recuperating in the hospital.
Wu Jianfeng is the eldest; his second brother suffered a head injury from falling debris at a high altitude, and his third brother was in a car accident; all of them are in the hospital, so currently, it’s just him receiving Luo Ning.
Luo Ning smiled, “Okay, let’s get started.”
She took a compass out of her backpack and began to examine it starting from the courtyard.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
This compass was a magic artifact left by her father, nourished over time and thus filled with a strong Vital Energy.
In the Fengshui World, masters usually have handy magic artifacts, which, unlike those in the Immortal Cultivation World, are mainly used for viewing Feng Shui, breaking barriers, dispelling evil spirits, attracting evil spirits, performing rituals, and battling.
The one in Luo Ning’s hand was mainly for viewing Feng Shui and breaking barriers.
As Wu Jianfeng and Mr. Ji watched her take out the compass and start her assessment with expertise, they couldn’t help but follow behind her.
After examining the surroundings of the garden, when Luo Ning reached a flower bed, the needle on the compass in her hand suddenly started moving rapidly.
Luo Ning also felt a surge of Yin Sha Qi spilling out from the flower bed, and she pointed to a spot, “Uncle Wu, could you please have someone dig here?”
Wu Jianfeng immediately instructed the household servants to dig up the spot.
After digging more than half a meter and finding nothing, he started to wonder if Luo Ning was mistaken, “There’s nothing here, should we continue digging?”
Luo Ning sensed the Yin Sha Qi, lifted her hand as if making a calculation, and quickly said, “Dig three more feet and you’ll find it.”
Wu Jianfeng then had people continue digging, and eerily, right after digging about three feet, the shovel hit something with a clang.
The servant hurriedly reached in and took out a wooden box.
He was about to open it, but Luo Ning stopped him, “Give the box to me, please. If you open it, it could harm your health.”
The servant was initially skeptical of Luo Ning, thinking how unprofessional con artists were nowadays, so young and already pretending to be Feng Shui Masters.
Who would have thought she would be right, digging out something exactly three feet deep as she had said, hence he was somewhat convinced.
Hearing her warning, the box suddenly felt very hot to the touch, and he promptly handed it to her.
After receiving it, Luo Ning first used the Vital Energy from the compass to suppress the spread of Yin Sha Qi around the wooden box before she slowly opened it.
Wu Jianfeng and Mr. Ji both leaned in to see what was inside.
When Luo Ning opened the box, they saw a plastic bag wrapping an unknown blackish-red object inside.
Although they didn’t know what it was, it inexplicably gave off a cold, sinister feeling as if it was something wicked.
“Ningning, what is this thing?” Mr. Ji stepped forward and asked.
Luo Ning replied, “This is the heart of a black dog that’s been enshrined, so it has a strong sense of resentment and a dense Yin Sha Qi.”
“Placing such an object within the boundaries of a house with an owner will affect the family’s luck, and over time, it could even lead to fatalities.”
Mr. Ji and Wu Jianfeng both shivered uncontrollably, completely taken aback that the black and red object turned out to be a heart.
“Miss Luo, can you tell how long this thing has been buried in my family’s garden?” asked Wu Jianfeng, looking rather pale.
He had previously invited two Feng Shui Masters to inspect it, and although they had roughly scanned the garden, they had not discovered this object.
Luo Ning calculated with her fingers again, “About half a year. Because it was buried in the garden, its influence on your family has been slowly eroding away unnoticed.”
“In the last six months, people in your family should have begun to experience a series of mishaps, it’s just that these past two months have been more severe.”
