Chapter 249: Chapter 249: She Is the Movie King’s Successor

Tang Li lay on her bed sideways, holding her cellphone as she looked at the text messages. The bright light from the screen fell upon her pure, unadorned face, like the vast and warm stars in her eyes, lighting up a dark corner of the dormitory.

The next day, Feng Qi called her and asked her to visit IMG headquarters.

Sitting in the office, Tang Li watched the music video (MV) for "Still" that she and Guan Xiao shot in its entirety once again. Feng Qi poured her a glass of water and sat down beside her: "The MV for this song has broken a billion views in less than a week, the reach is a bit higher than I expected."

This new song, which Mao Yiming invited the rising diva Han Yi to duet with and had Guan Xiao make a friendly appearance in the MV, had a very low chance of not being a hit.

As the female lead of the MV, although Tang Li did not show her face and was not credited at the beginning of the MV, she still attracted the attention of many netizens.

The more observant ones had already dug out her identity.

Under Guan Xiao’s Weibo post, a netizen uploaded a comparison of a photo of Ying Xuaner previously posted by [Xu Yuan V] and a side profile screenshot of Tang Li from the "Still" MV, then exclaimed in the comment section, "It’s the drama version of Ying Xuaner, don’t believe me, check out the comparison!"

This comment quickly became popular in the comment section.

It received 20,000 likes and thousands of netizens replied to the comment.

Feng Qi handed a tablet to Tang Li: "Around 9 o’clock last night, a netizen recognized you. Although Guan Xiao and Mao Yiming have not responded, by this morning, various major marketing accounts on Weibo have already started sharing it. Without any surprises, in an hour or two, your name will enter the top ten trending searches."

The drama version of "Original Sin"’s Wikipedia page had already been updated by the production crew with Tang Li’s name, so it wasn’t hard for netizens to dig out her information.

"Just two hours ago, Yang Ning, who was supposed to represent the "Original Sin" drama crew and walk the red carpet with Guan Xiao at tonight’s National Drama Festival, had her agent call Jiahua Film and Television to excuse herself from attending tonight’s awards ceremony due to ill health."

As Feng Qi spoke, his gaze fell on Tang Li: "By saying this, you should have already guessed the reason for Yang Ning suddenly cancelling."

Yang Ning and Guan Xiao co-starred in the drama version of "Original Sin," but Guan Xiao then invited Tang Li to perform in Mao Yiming’s MV. Guan Xiao and Mao Yiming are very close friends; others might not know and think it’s a coincidence, but Yang Ning can almost be certain—it was Guan Xiao who found Tang Li!

Yang Ning’s dislike for Tang Li was no secret in the production crew.

Thus, with Guan Xiao’s move, Yang Ning undoubtedly felt slapped in the face.

After all, being an A-list celebrity, she had some temper. Seeing the news on Weibo arguing about "Guan Xiao and the actress playing Ying Xuaner suspect to be in a relationship," Yang Ning decisively decided to slap back.

"Before you came here, President Zhang from Jiahua called me."

Tang Li understood what Feng Qi meant, but Yang Ning and Guan Xiao were to attend the National Drama Festival as award presenters to promote their new drama "Original Sin." If she were to replace Yang Ning and walk the red carpet with Guan Xiao, it would seem a bit presumptuous.

Currently, she had no representative works, and the only drama she had filmed, "Original Sin," had not yet been broadcasted. The main actors were all still busy shooting.

Tang Li voiced her concerns: "It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to go."

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it," Feng Qi said, "You’re an artist I manage. It’s already well-known in the industry that even if you haven’t accepted any roles, just standing in front of the red carpet, those media reporters will scramble to take pictures of you."

After all, she is considered the "successor" to the grand slam film actor Liang Jincheng.
