Chapter 827: Chapter 826 Expand Roles Chapter 827: Chapter 826 Expand Roles “Clearly, someone is spending money to smear a female actress online, everyone should just disperse, the person behind this really has insidious intentions. The more you slander her, the more I am inclined to support her.”

…

After watching such a spectacle, Qiao Xiaren simply turned off her phone.

She was very grateful for those who stood by her no matter what, as they allowed her to focus more on her own work.

Seeing the encouragement from her fans, Qiao Xiaren felt absolutely full of fighting spirit, ready to begin work on ‘Picture City.’ Besides ‘Picture City’ and a few other important engagements, there was also Yeqian’s concert left during this time.

“Xiaren, ‘Picture City’ is about to start shooting, make sure you’re mentally prepared,” Director Jiang called her specifically, having just returned from M Country and still dealing with a lot of issues, fortunately, she seemed to be in good spirits.

“I understand, Director Jiang, don’t worry, I’m currently in a good state. You don’t need to worry about work-related matters.”

Hearing Qiao Xiaren’s words, Director Jiang finally felt reassured.

“Xiaren, don’t worry about those things on Weibo, every star has countless detractors,” Director Jiang still couldn’t help but comfort her a few words — she was a dedicated actress with exquisite acting skills, and he didn’t want her to be affected by some comments and disrupt her plans.

Qiao Xiaren chuckled softly, “Thank you for your concern, Director Jiang, I’ve never been troubled by these trivial matters. Once you see the bigger picture, it’s all laughable, and can’t even ripple the surface of my heart. How could my own life be so easily influenced by others? What would be the point in that?”

Director Jiang felt something novel in her words, a smile spreading across his face — she really was quite a unique person.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xiaren started to look through the script that Xixi had just brought over.

As a production of exquisite workmanship, ‘Picture City’ had a flawless team and set-up; what remained was to see how well the actors could capture their roles.

The start-up ceremony and preparation were about to commence, and it was said that the role of the calamitous enchantress Empress Liangliang had been cast. Qiao Xiaren was quite familiar with her, Xie Yurou.

Honestly, Xie Yurou had always been considered just a pretty face in the entertainment industry, her acting skills never taken seriously; in other words, while she had many fans, she also had an equally high number of detractors.

This time, Director Jiang really was determined, daring to cast Xie Yurou as Empress Liangliang. But well, for an enchantress, if the acting isn’t enough, good looks might just be sufficient.

Qiao Xiaren was to play the Empress, and naturally, there would be slight changes to her makeup to mask her natural beauty a bit, adding an extra layer to her face so the two wouldn’t be criticized for not fitting their roles on the big screen.

When the official news broke, some fans were somewhat disappointed. They had thought Qiao Xiaren would play the beautiful Empress Liangliang, but it turned out to be Xie Yurou.

Wasn’t the beauty of Empress Liangliang designed specifically for Qiao Xiaren? Moreover, Empress Liangliang’s character is absolutely thrilling, how can the gentle and virtuous Empress Liangliang not seem overpowered by comparison?

However, Xiaren had hardly ever let her audience down in her acting, and after a little grumbling, they were once again looking forward to the movie’s filming and release.

Of course, Weini was more looking forward to the box office results.

The last ‘Who Rules the World’ had an explosive box office, perhaps due to the movie’s theme and the famous director among other factors that contributed to such a result. But he was equally looking forward to the box office for ‘Picture City.’

He had also received a comedy script, something he wanted to discuss with Qiao Xiaren. Although it was a good movie, he still wanted to ask for her opinion.

Qiao Xiaren had portrayed numerous period characters, and it was time to expand into other roles as well.
