Others didn"t know, but as his personal a.s.sistant, Xiao Ai knew that Zhou Siyu obtaining the opportunity of shooting for 《Feng Shang》cover page was actually due to Ji Lin"s work behind the scenes. Otherwise, this kind of forefront domestic fashion magazine, how could they took a fancy on her? Ji Lin even pushed over the cover photo that should have belonged to him, temporarily switching to the inner page photo. This meat pie that dropped from the sky fell on top of Zhou Siyu"s head1.
Even though in her heart she knew that as an a.s.sistant she shouldn"t have inquired too much, but Xiao Ai still couldn"t help opening her mouth: " Ji-Ge, do you know that model?"
Ji Lin was silent for a long time before answering vaguely: "You could say so…."
Xiao Ai said: "Ji-Ge, you"re now in the rising period. You should pay more attention to your image as an artist. If there"s anything, I could do it for you."
She indirectly reminded Ji Lin to pay attention to the consequences and not to show himself in public in such a thoughtless way. After all, one was a man and one was a woman. Furthermore, that little model seemed to be older than Ji Lin. If this was exposed, the female fans of Ji Lin would fly into a rage. They wouldn"t care whether the two have a romantic relationship or not. This kind of thing concerning s.e.x scandals wasn"t good for Ji Lin at all.
Ji Lin certainly understood what Xiao Ai meant. He raised his eyebrows and said: "What are you talking about? I"m not in that kind of relationship with her. " Being concerned about my own sister—although Zhou Siyu was totally unaware right now—is there anything wrong with that?
Once he heard that the other person vomit blood, he anxiously followed her into the hospital. It"s possible that this was that kind of relationship…. Xiao Ai muttered to herself and suddenly thought of a somewhat terrifying possibility: Their Ji-Ge couldn"t be…. secretly in love with that little model, right? ?
How could it be? Not long ago, Ji Lin was just elected as "the most wanted NO.1 actor". Every day, countless female fans made an uproar under his Weibo about marriage. How could he take a fancy on a nameless model?
Ji Lin was unaware of his a.s.sistant"s thoughts. He held his chin for a moment and asked: "Is it certain that the audition for the 《Shang Hen2》MV"s female lead will be next week ?"
"Yeah, why ?" Xiao Ai was unsure.
Ji Lin was born as a singer with outstanding talent and was a rare all-round famous singer. Even though at present he slowly advanced into film and television circle, but he still maintained the frequency of one alb.u.m a year. The theme for the new alb.u.m this time was "Fission," which mainly narrated about the choices and confusion experienced during the transition from a teenager into an adult. It was a gift from Ji Lin dedicated to the fans and himself. Therefore, the company attached great importance to this—especially the MV shooting for the main song 《Shang Hen》.
Unfortunately, 《Shang Hen》 never found a suitable female lead. After all, it required the female lead to possess a dispirited and pale disposition. How could it be easy to find this kind of person?
After hearing Xiao Ai"s reply, Ji Lin nodded and mentioned casually: "Zhou Siyu…. the model that shot for the cover page today. I think she meets the requirement for the current MV. You should mention this to her talent agency and let her keep in memory to come for the audition when the moment comes."
Xiao Ai was so scared that her hold on the water bottle became unstable.
Taking no care of his a.s.sistant"s dumbfounded expression, Ji Lin pondered about it and added: " Don"t tell them that this was my idea.……. Forget it, I remembered you have a good relationship with Ling-Jie. Please mention this to her and told her that this was because the current cover shooting was very satisfactory, so I recommended this opportunity."
"….." Watching this big boy, who had just reached adulthood, organize everything neatly, Xiao Ai had mixed feelings.
Oh, G.o.d! Someone, please tell her, Ji Lin didn"t really intend to become the financial backer of that little model, right? !
…..
Siyu slept soundly until dawn when the phone beside her pillow vibrated nonstop and woke her up.
She just got up from the bed, before she could check her phone. Her complexion suddenly changed. She didn"t even care to put on her slippers and immediately rushed into the bathroom to vomit blood.
With great difficulty, she finished vomiting. Siyu cleaned herself up, looked at the pale and delicate sick beauty in the mirror, and sighed heavily.
These days….. When will it end? Waaa… [T/N: sounds of crying]
Every week, the original Zhou Siyu had to go and grab Chinese herbal medicine. Because she had just vomited, her stomach was aching painfully. Siyu worried that her illness would relapse again. She hastily rummaged through to search for the stove to decoct the medicinal herbs. She took a dose of Chinese herbal medicine, added water and let it stew on the small stove. Only then did she unhurriedly walk back to the bedroom and pick up her phone to see what had happened.
Just as she opened the screen, a large number of messages instantly came pouring in. It almost caused this half-worn broken phone to get stuck and the screen to freeze up.
Siyu clicked into the Weibo and discovered that there were several thousands of @ and comments on her account. She roughly read through and realized that when she had fallen asleep yesterday night, the official account of Qu Man forwarded the first released chapter of her 《Fashion Strategy》. Afterwards, there were several famous big V3 forwarded one after another. As a result, this Weibo account of hers became popular overnight!
Although Siyu believed in her strength and confidence that this story was good, the reception was so good that it was a little unexpected.
She seemed to see the future where she had nothing to do with that c.r.a.ppy talent agency waving to her!
As a sick person, her mood shouldn"t be agitated. Previously Siyu was also a popular manhua author, so she quickly calmed down. At this moment, she turned to a private message. It was sent by Qu Man"s official account:
【Dear Koi, I"m Mu Yan, the manhua editor of Qu Man. I"ve seen your 《Fashion Strategy》and think that the story is very good. It has great potential. Are you interested in exclusively publishing this on our Qu Man platform?】
1: something good that unexpectedly happened without her doing anything.
2: 伤痕- literally means scar: bruise; hack. It is the t.i.tle of the MV. I guess in English the t.i.tle could be "The Scar", "Scars", "Bruises", and so on. He.. he.. since I"m bad at deciding names, I just leave it like that UwU
3: “Big V” is a Weibo user with substantial followers and a verified account such as Kong Qingdong
