Chapter 404: Chapter 405: Openly Tearing Apart

It wasn’t as if there were no bystanders who accused He Jinxia of being ungrateful and treacherous for going solo to seek better development, but as soon as this view was expressed, it was immediately attacked by others, so that not even onlookers could refrain from defending He Jinxia.

Last year when He Jinxia left the group, she was still a 200-pound fatso, a figure totally unsuited for development in JY, whether she left the team on her own accord or was kicked out by JY, it was an amicable separation for both parties, nothing worth disputing over.

If JY fans accused He Jinxia of being ungrateful, He Jinxia’s fans would retort that Fat Emperor had spared their lives!

Online public opinion changes in the blink of an eye, just ten minutes ago Meng Wan was being vilified by everyone, but with He Jinxia stepping in, ten minutes later, it turned into JY fans being unreasonable even though they were in the right.

He Jinxia glanced at her phone a few times, then set it aside, no longer paying attention, leaving Luo You and Zhang Da You to manage the comments for her.

She looked out the window, her eyes filled with a cold determination, this time, she wanted to completely disband JY.

In the afternoon, He Jinxia got ready and set off to the company to sign the contract for "High Energy Classroom".

The contract signing went very smoothly, regarding He Jinxia’s Weibo move this morning, Luo You used the rationale that He Jinxia was building hype for "High Energy Classroom".

The director didn’t care about these things at all, knowing that He Jinxia had done it on purpose, he felt even more favorably towards her.

After signing the contract, the director made a point of staying behind to speak a few words to He Jinxia:

"You don’t need to be nervous about joining the crew tomorrow, this movie is my own investment, I only care about the actors’ performances, all the other superfluous things won’t occur in our crew, just relax and act."

He Jinxia humbly nodded and said obediently, "Okay, thank you, Director."

Director Zhou looked at her seriously, then suddenly shook his head, "No, your current state won’t do."

He Jinxia puzzled, "What?"

Director Zhou said, "You’ve read the script, you know what kind of character the female lead is, arrogant and imperious, mingling in the streets, yet she’s also an immensely intelligent genius, so she has this thuggish appeal with a unique charm, you seem pretty well-behaved to me, quite different from the female lead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Zhou added, "But then again, it’s the actor’s job to resemble whoever they’re playing, it’s not strange for you to be like this, I hope your performance can be as stunning as Su Qingwan’s in the TV series."

Director Zhou’s words reminded He Jinxia, she thought for a moment, then asked, "Director Zhou, have you set aside some time for filming this movie, is everything, like the shooting locations, ready?"

Director Zhou shook his head, "No, I thought you’d be staying in M country for a while, so there was no rush to prepare the locations, it will all take about ten days to sort out."

"But aren’t you busy? During these ten days, you can start with some unimportant long shots, quite relaxing, consider it an acclimatization process."

He Jinxia, "Since it’s not ready, how about this, give me one week’s time to immerse in the role, I want to observe and capture that unique feeling you’re looking for in the female lead."

Director Zhou was stunned, "Are you sure?"

He Jinxia smiled slightly, "Sure, in seven days, I’ll give you the female lead that you have in mind."

Director Zhou laughed, patted He Jinxia on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "Impressive, young one! If you’re so determined, fine, I’ll give you a week!"

In the end, he asked curiously, "But how will you experience it? This movie takes place in a school, you’ll have to blend into a school to feel what I want you to feel."

He Jinxia also smiled but didn’t specify, "I have my own ways, just rest assured, Director."

When they went out, Luo You was already waiting at the door and didn’t see the director off.

As soon as the director’s figure disappeared from the doorway, Luo You quickly pulled He Jinxia into the conference room and asked with a solemn expression:

"Do you have some old grudge with Deng Zhaoyan?"

As soon as he asked the question, Luo You smacked his forehead and muttered to himself, "Why am I asking you this, isn’t it obvious?"

He Jinxia was puzzled and just about to ask something when Luo You asked again, "By the way, when you were with JY girl group, did you have any issue with Deng Zhaoyan?"

He Jinxia shook her head, "What happened, I hardly knew Deng Zhaoyan back when I was with JY!"

Luo You took a deep breath out, "Five minutes ago, just when you were inside signing the contract with Director Zhou, Deng Zhaoyan posted on Weibo, strongly supporting JY and saying that some celebrities like to take shortcuts rather than striving earnestly like JY. Only then can we purify the industry’s atmosphere and foster healthy competition."

"Bystanders might still be unclear, but do we not know? The ’celebrity taking shortcuts’ she’s talking about is you. With this move, she has openly positioned herself against you."

He Jinxia’s eyes lowered, and after pondering for a moment, she suddenly smiled, "Beating the grass to startle the snake, hitting the mountain to shock the tiger, interesting."

Luo You didn’t understand, "Why aren’t you worried at all? If people dig out it’s you, you will be facing off against Deng Zhaoyan’s fans. No matter how unstable her godlike status is, she is still top-tier, and your fans won’t be able to compete with hers."

He Jinxia looked up at him and said indifferently, "Obviously, Deng Zhaoyan is taking issue with the supporting role in ’World.’ The only connection I have with her now is this movie. Soon the fans will unearth this matter, creating the public opinion that I snatched her role."

"But as to how that role in ’World’ really got lost, the other stars do not know, the top brass of ’World’ know very well."

Luo You said pointedly, "Here’s the thing, if it’s revealed that the conflict between you and Deng Zhaoyan stemmed from competing for the role and the two of you start fighting, it will increase the popularity of ’World.’ On the contrary, ’World’ would love for you two to fight; the fiercer the feud, the better. They wouldn’t come forward to speak on your behalf."

He Jinxia didn’t mind that, every star has negative news. For other stars, popularity is the original sin. As long as you are popular, you are blocking their path.

From Deng Zhaoyan meddling with JY, she could sense Deng Zhaoyan’s panic and urgency instead.

Everyone knows that JY is a mess, other stars dare not wade into these troubled waters, but she does, it wasn’t clear whether she was acting on impulse or had some trump card.

He Jinxia’s eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Can’t worry about so much anymore, JY has a huge pile of scandals, since Deng Zhaoyan wants to get involved, then let her be cursed along with them. It’s all just a gamble anyway, this time, no one can save JY."

Luo You’s expression turned stern, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "OK, I know what to do next. If handled well, we might even reap an unexpected windfall."

He Jinxia asked curiously, "What windfall?"

Luo You smiled mysteriously and uttered four words, "Slaying God to Prove Dao."

A look of bewilderment filled He Jinxia’s eyes, what was that?
