Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Keep a Close Watch

*

The investment in "Linghua" was substantial, and the crew directly booked an entire five-star hotel next to the film and television base as their accommodation for the next three to four months of filming.

When Jiang Mian arrived at the hotel, there were already staff members there to greet them.

"Teacher Jiang, this way."

The hotel lobby was decorated lavishly, with a gorgeous, brightly shining gold chandelier in the center and rose gold ceramic tiles on the floor that were polished to a gleam.

The staff moved with well-trained, uniform precision.

A group of people walked past the elevator entrance, and the woman in the middle looked particularly familiar.

"Xu Yanzhi?"

Luo Ting frowned slightly, wondering what she was doing there.

The staff kindly explained, "Teacher Xu is playing the third female lead in this drama and will have many opportunities to work with Teacher Jiang afterwards."

Jiang Mian fixed her gaze in that direction, her beautiful eyes flickering with a hint of nonchalance.

This person, if she remembered correctly...

Was once the strongest competitor for the second female lead role in "Linghua."

Now playing the third female lead, what about the originally intended third female lead?

A hint of confusion flashed across Jiang Mian’s eyes but quickly returned to calm.

Nine o’clock in the evening.

The official Weibo account of "Linghua" released the finalized photos and tagged each of the main actors.

As Luo Ting suggested, Jiang Mian reposted the official post about her—

Jiang Mianv: ["A fleeting dream, please guide me. //:{Forward}"]

["Wow, Jiang Xiaomian is so beautiful!!"]

["Please weld the cheongsam onto your body, thank you"]

["So beautiful, wow! Just standing there, she already tells a story"]

["The novel literally made me cry"]

...

Jiang Mian was half-reclining on the couch, marking her script with colored pens.

She wore a long white satin nightgown that trailed on the carpet, her eyes tired yet lazy.

Yangyang rushed in holding a large bag of chips, slightly out of breath: "I... I have found out."

What?

"Xu Yanzhi ousted the original third female lead, agreed to act in this play for free in the name of friendship, and also stated that she loves it very much, and brought her own physical and acting coaches."

Jiang Mian sat up, her hair messily scattered over her shoulders.

She scoffed, acting out of friendship?

Claiming a role as the third female lead under the pretense of friendship, this was just the public statement.

She was already a recognized actress and had initially gained a following by presenting herself as a classical beauty, having both acting skills and popularity while also bringing her own controversy. With such modest attitude, the Director would definitely want her.

As for the original third female lead, she did indeed appear a bit pitiful.

"Also, I heard she’s not satisfied with her costumes, and is thinking about pulling a few from our team. Sister Mianmian, we can’t let her succeed!"

Within the original novel, Jiang Mian’s character is a rather glamorous and ravishing woman, constantly wearing different cheongsams, sometimes even outshining the female lead in a few outfits.

Yangyang had heard about some other prominent young actresses from Sister Ting, with He Qianyi being the most notable, though she had quieted down recently.

Now that He Qianyi was out of the picture, Xu Yanzhi surfaced.

However, Sister Mianmian was too beautiful, wherever she was, everyone else might just become part of the background.

It was probably just because her beauty was too striking.

Merely the troubles of a beautiful woman.

Jiang Mian’s voice was light, with a hint of amusement, "Since she went through so much trouble to come, let her come then."

As for what to do next.

You fight your soldiers, I’ll hold my fort.

She closed the script and airily said, "Keep a close eye on them."

Jiang Mian had a feeling that was hard to articulate.

At the very least, Xu Yanzhi’s gourd definitely wasn’t selling any remedy.
