Chapter 350: Chapter 348 Poisoning 1

The main actors of "Detective in the Republic" appeared at the movie premieres in several major cities.

Without Qiao Xi, Jiang Yongge, Qin Mo, and Su Tutu alone still managed to considerably raise the film’s profile.

That day, the movie unsurprisingly shot to the top of the trending searches.

The National Day holiday had ended.

"Detective in the Republic" was released nationwide.

A play with an investment of tens of millions ultimately earned nearly a billion at the box office, and the future screenings hadn’t been tallied yet.

Which means the film’s box office was still on the rise.

Of course, by then some people said that the movie’s high box office was purely due to the popularity brought by Jiang Yongge and Qiao Xi, whose fan-pulling power was so strong that their excellent acting in the play was somewhat overlooked.

Amidst the chorus of approval, there were naturally voices of doubt.

But without any surprise, the film was a hit.

This year, Qiao Xi starred in two movies, with "Detective in the Republic" outperforming "Blossoms Old Dreams" at the box office.

On all major platforms, discussions were overwhelmingly about "Detective in the Republic."

A film review on a certain website received ninety percent positive feedback.

["In the Republic Era, amidst the peace and the bustling Hushang City, the plot unfolds with a murder case. A high-IQ heiress, a police chief, a forensic psychologist, and a passionate and righteous female reporter—four main characters travel together, cracking one suspenseful case after another, which leads to a fate-like intersection. The drama sheds the stiffness of serious dramas and adds a dose of laughter and lighthearted mystery-solving, while also presenting a rich philosophy of life. The perfect ending seems to break free from the shackles of the era! The ending is like a fairy tale, but it’s precisely because it’s a fairy tale that it resonates with us ordinary people.]

["This movie is amazing. Tightly-knit cases, quick detection, not a single wasted shot throughout, making for a very satisfying experience as a viewer. All the actors’ performances were on point—it’s really worth watching.]

["The plot pacing is brisk, without any dragging, the intricacies of the convoluted plot are interlinked; this National Day was dazzled by this drama!]

["They say in the Republic Era nine out of ten romances end in tragedy, but this drama paints two full-bodied couples in love. Maybe they all have their flaws, but their hearts are filled with justice, making them really lovable.]

["Came for Movie Emperor Jiang, but ended up being a fan of the other main actors, ’Detective in the Republic’ is just yyds!]

["’Blossoms Old Dreams’ had Qiao Xi in a cheongsam throughout the drama, same as this one, but I was actually able to perfectly distinguish between the two films. The Goddess of Divine Beauty truly stole my heart in an instant.]

["Qiao Xi’s divine beauty doesn’t cause aesthetic fatigue at all, she may as well have the cheongsam coded into her DNA!]

["You’ll really regret it if you don’t watch this movie!!!]

After the release of the film, Qiao Xi’s title of the cheongsam beauty spread widely within the entertainment circle.

With a charming smile and bright eyes.

Every frown and smile conveyed elegance and grace.

Fans compiled a video of Qiao Xi’s fragrance advert and cheongsam stills from "Blossoms Old Dreams" and "Detective in the Republic," making a collection.

The cheongsam on Qiao Xi had a unique charm, exuding an elegant and intellectual aura in every gesture and movement.

The beauty refuses to return the flirtatious gaze, as each graceful step exudes endless charm.

This video reached tens of millions of views and shares on a certain app and was reposted across major video platforms.

The title of Qiao Xi, the cheongsam beauty, went viral.

While the internet was abuzz with news about Qiao Xi, the person in question was still working diligently on set.

"Snowfield Ballet" filming had progressed to the second half.

The following scenes were the highlight.

Director Qian was stricter than before.

It was possible that a take could be repeated more than a dozen times before being approved.

And it also had to match the day’s weather to suit the shot.

Director Qian sought perfection in every detail.

During her time in Guizhou Province, Qiao Xi had slimmed down several pounds.

But the countryside was still bountiful, with wild mushrooms and game available in the mountains; the logistics staff wracked their brains to ensure everyone had good food to eat.

Though food was usually bought from outside, it couldn’t be stored for long due to weather conditions, so occasionally they would forage in the mountains.

In the evening, after finishing the shoot,

Bei Bei brought back two boxed meals, one of which she gave to Qiao Xi.

In a remote rural area, where being picky wasn’t an option, having a boxed meal was already pretty good.

Qiao Xi noticed a dish of fresh mushrooms.

Bei Bei said these were foraged from the mountains by the logistics crew, and after the locals assured it was edible, they were confident to let everyone eat it.

Director Qian and Xu Anfeng approached her: "Xixi."

"Director Qian."

"Congratulations, your film is a hit."

Having an actress whose other movie was a hit boosted Director Qian’s confidence even more.

Their film dealt with war, a topic naturally sensitive, and Xu Anfeng wasn’t exactly a traffic draw; this could affect the visibility. But fortunately, the male lead’s acting was spot on—the theme could definitely win awards if it hit big.

Qiao Xi had made more than ten movies without receiving an award, and everyone was looking forward to this movie becoming a soaring success.

Qiao Xi was still very humble: "Thank you, Director, but it’s not just because of me that a movie becomes a hit." She paused and smiled, "Moreover, I believe our movie will definitely be a blockbuster."

For this, Qiao Xi had put in her utmost effort.

No one dislikes hearing positive remarks; Director Qian laughed delightfully, "If we win an award, I must treat you all to dinner!"

Xu Anfeng smiled lightly at Qiao Xi: "Qiao Xi, let’s not forget what Director said today; we need to hold him to it."

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Of course."

"Pfft, you guys are afraid I’ll go back on my word!"

Director Qian joked with a laugh, looking at the mushrooms in Qiao Xi’s meal, "Xixi, these mushrooms are really fresh, no poison, go ahead and eat. You’ve all worked hard filming these past months, both you and Anfeng have lost weight since joining the set. If it’s not enough, have your assistant get more food, your health is your capital for revolution, after all."

The consequence of overwork often is a physical collapse.

Director Qian, as eager for success as he was, wouldn’t joke about his actors’ health.

Qiao Xi: "I understand, Director Qian."

Director Qian took his boxed meal and strolled away leisurely.

Xu Anfeng then sat beside Qiao Xi.

He said, "Later if we have time, we can run lines together."

"Sure."

Qiao Xi agreed readily without much hesitation.

But the lines practice they agreed on wasn’t completed.

Not long after dinner, some of the crew started to show symptoms of dizziness and mild vomiting.

This sudden incident truly frightened Director Qian.
