Chapter 850: Chapter 849 Picture City Starts Auction

Wang Yi caught up with Qiao Xiaren and noticed a faint smile on her face, which seemed a bit surprising, “Xiaren, what are you smiling about?”

What’s so funny?

Qiao Xiaren didn’t stop walking but gave Wang Yi a meaningful glance, “I’m happy for Yin Xiaobai, finally escaping from the bitter sea of the Yin Family and now having a warm man by her side. From now on, Xiaobai will be completely relieved. What awaits her will be a beautiful future.”

Wang Yi understood the part about escaping from the Yin Family, but she couldn’t quite grasp the latter part, even feeling somewhat confused, and Qiao Xiaren didn’t explain.

With her ability to read people from her past and present lives combined, she could almost be certain that Mu Nian would be the person to bring happiness to Yin Xiaobai in the latter half of her life. Finding a kindred spirit in this world is difficult, but although she was given a painful family, the gods also compensated her with tenderness and care for the second half of her life.

The more she thought about it, the more her mood brightened. Without turning her head, Qiao Xiaren slowly curled up the corners of her lips. Indeed, with effort, she would be rewarded.

Everything will be fine, Qiao Xiaren, in this life you must truly live for yourself, become a real actress, and only then can you find genuine happiness.

Thinking of the upcoming movie she was about to shoot, Qiao Xiaren felt even more fired up.

She was getting closer and closer to her dream.

At the Picture City shooting scene

The event had invited almost all the notable entertainment journalists from the Capital, and actors were arriving in succession to be interviewed by the press. Mostly they were movie stars with significant clout in the film industry, dressed in styles that matched their personalities, lacking the flashiness of idol stars–household names in the movie world.

Shen Zheng, an artist who entered actor training classes at 16 and had been named an old artist up to now, was indeed on par with Wu Xinghui.

Qin Su, a male actor known for his tough-guy image, had a large following of fangirls, and his acting skills were cinematic caliber.

Because the scene was quite spectacular, even Xie Yurou, who liked to show off her status by being fashionably late, had to arrive half an hour early.

The names of the main cast were signed on the clapperboard, and magnesium lights were flashing continuously.

The male lead was undoubtedly Qin Su, and for this annual film centered on women, Qin Su’s role would be particularly eye-catching.

Qiao Xiaren had also arrived early. Before filming this movie, most of the people didn’t know each other, and they would use the kickoff ceremony to get acquainted.

Qiao Xiaren was familiar with Chen Lanjun; they just nodded at each other and shared a knowing smile.

Chen Lanjun, unlike Qiao Xiaren, had been in the film industry earlier and hadn’t done any idol dramas in recent years. She was more familiar with these movie stars and began to introduce Qiao Xiaren.

“Xiaren, this is Teacher Shen Zheng,” Chen Lanjun said with a smile. “Teacher Shen, this is the young lady I’ve mentioned to you before, Qiao Xiaren.”

Shen Zheng, appearing to be in his fifties and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, had a gentle and scholarly air about him and seemed easy to get along with.

“This young lady is quite well-known; how could I possibly not have heard of her?” Shen Zheng said, smiling as he shook hands with Qiao Xiaren. “You have good acting skills; I hope you can achieve even better results here in Picture City.”

“Thank you, Teacher Shen, I will,” Qiao Xiaren replied graciously.

Watching Qiao Xiaren’s modest demeanor attracted the attention of several other actors. Qin Su, who played the leading male role, was someone Qiao Xiaren had seen before, though they hadn’t spoken to each other previously.

Before filming started, the crew made speeches as routine, then lit incense and set off fireworks, as a way to wish for a beautiful start to the shoot.
