Chapter 38 - Twinkling Stars

Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Twinkling Stars President Gao never lets anyone stay overnight. As Lin Feifei left the villa, her legs were so weak she could hardly stand. Fortunately, President Gao was in a good mood today and had arranged a driver for her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get out of the garden. President Gao is utterly wild when it comes to having fun, and Lin Feifei suffered greatly, but at the same time, she was extremely excited.

Not only because of the promises he had made to her, but also because of all the new things she had never encountered before.

Half a month later, filming for "Concubine’s Mistress" started, and as expected, Lin Feifei was announced as the lead actress.

Li Yan stood in a high-rise apartment, overlooking the river bank, picked up her phone, and called Ye Qiu who was on the other side of the Ocean: "Have you seen the news? Lin Feifei has become the lead actress for ’Concubine’s Mistress’."

"Sister Yang just told me. I heard the investor is Longxing’s President Gao." Ye Qiu did not finish her sentence, but Li Yan already understood her meaning.

Li Yan sneered: "I heard President Gao has been taking her to parties quite often lately. Who in the circle doesn’t know she’s his new favorite? Pff... she really dares to go all out!"

"Alright." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly: "You sound so agitated, as if you’re the one who’s been wronged."

"I’m just feeling indignant for you. I’ve had enough of Lin Feifei for a long time, watching her climb higher and higher. Who knows what crazy things she will do next." Li Yan said anxiously.

"Li Yan, thank you." Ye Qiu said sincerely, having a true friend who cares about you in this circle is not easy.

"I’m very glad to have met you."

"Why suddenly so cheesy..." Li Yan’s voice turned mushy, and her face blushed a little, "We’re friends, aren’t we!"

"I just don’t want you to worry so much. I have an idea about Lin Feifei’s matter; she can’t harm me. And regardless of how high she seems to have climbed with President Gao’s support, there are plenty who want to pull her down behind the scenes." Ye Qiu narrowed her eyes, thinking of President Gao’s former mistress, Young Master Lee, who must be annoyed right now!

And Hua Yun, the original lead actress for "Concubine’s Mistress" who Lin Feifei had replaced, would not let her off easily either.

"Anyway, you be careful with that woman!" Li Yan still couldn’t stop worrying.

"Mmm... I will be careful... it’s my turn to film, let’s not talk now, you should rest early."

"Okay, bye!"

The filming of "Star Hero" was not easy for Ye Qiu. Committed to breaking the curse of sequels getting worse, the Director was very demanding on the three lead actors.

Ye Qiu played a new character, Dragon Girl, in the film. As a new hero, her characteristic was being a skilled fighter with real combat.

In the drama, her weapon was a long spear, all black with a red tassel hanging from the tip, and to create a realistic effect, the production team specially made a solid iron spear for her.

Two meters long, weighing twenty pounds.

When they first got their hands on the prop, the other two male heroes had eagerly given a few twirls of the spear, moving awkwardly and ended up gasping for breath.

And when they later saw Ye Qiu wielding the long spear powerfully, even making a whistling sound with it, they simply couldn’t believe their eyes. They were muscular men over one hundred ninety centimeters tall, and Ye Qiu was just a slender woman.

"Qiu, is this Hua Country Kung Fu?" Muscle Man One, Ville asked in awe.

"Qiu, can you teach me?" Muscle Man Two, Charlie asked eagerly.

"Go away, all of you, get lost." Big Beard, the Director, eyes gleaming with excitement, looked at Ye Qiu as if seeing a treasure: "I knew my judgment was not wrong. When the film is released, you will definitely start a craze around the world, Qiu, and then smack their faces hard."

Indeed, apart from Hua Country people, all fans of "Star Hero" were resistant to Ye Qiu playing Dragon Girl. Traditionally, important Hua Country characters like Dragon Girl would be either changed to local actors or played by people of Hua descent, but this time, the Director chose an authentic person from Hua Country, which the fans did not understand and considered a significant risk.

But the director has absolute control over this film, and the company has reached an agreement with the boss of Ye Qiu Company, so the matter was settled.

However, many movie fans expressed their refusal to watch the movie because Ye Qiu was playing the lead hero, Dragon Girl.

Facing the immense pressure from the outside world, Big Beard Director shouldered it all.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s outstanding performance at this moment, Big Beard was very pleased, feeling that his insistence was finally vindicated.

Just wait, when the movie is released, it will undoubtedly slap the faces of those who looked down on Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu will definitely become a lead actor on par with the other two heroes.

She is the unique Dragon Girl, irreplaceable by anyone!

A month later, while "Interstellar Hero" was still in the filming stage, Big Beard Director, unable to contain his boastful attitude, uploaded the first teaser.

In the scene, the camera zooms in from afar to a woman standing on Snow Mountain Peak, dressed in a black robe with embroidered Golden Dragon patterns. With a crown of purple gold on her head and brandishing a black long spear with red tassels in her right hand, her sharp eyes gaze at the sky, conveying a feeling that she is about to go into battle and her enemies are in the stars above.

At this moment, she is the king, with her present, enemies shall not advance another step!

The entire teaser lasted only twenty-odd seconds without any descriptive text, but movie fans have already been stunned, a voice resonating in their minds - she is Dragon Girl, the female hero who with her spear can annihilate thousands of enemies.

"Ah... Dragon Girl, I can’t believe my eyes!"

"Who is this Hua Country actress, she looks so noble, so imposing!"

"It’s over, it’s over, I’m going to abandon Ville and Charlie and fall in love with Dragon Girl..."

"Honestly, I was disappointed at first with a Hua Country actress playing Dragon Girl, but now, this Hua Country actress has fully embodied Dragon Girl as I imagined her, truly stunning!"

"I can’t breathe, Dragon Girl is so beautiful!"

"Does Hua Country also have such good-looking actresses with great acting skills? Have I been misunderstanding Hua Country all along?"

Fans of "Interstellar Hero" all around the world are excited, shouting on the internet for Dragon Girl... Dragon Girl...

This makes netizens in Hua Country extremely proud, Ye Qiu, this is a person from their country, and she has received worldwide praise and recognition.

The last Hua Country actor to be recognized by the world was a kung fu superstar who struggled for more than ten years abroad!

And Ye Qiu, with just a twenty-second teaser, has caused such a sensation, how could they not be proud?

From now on, there will also be a true hero played by a Hua Country person in the world!

"Qiu, we’ve succeeded, I told you the whole world would like you," Big Beard Director said, holding his phone excitedly, his beard trembling with each breath.

"All this is your contribution, when the movie is released, they will be even more surprised," Ye Qiu said, her smile radiant as she sensed the director’s happiness.

"No... no... without your martial arts, the desired effect wouldn’t be possible. Just wait, when you truly enter the battlefield, that will be truly amazing!"

Thinking of that scene, Ye Qiu also squinted her eyes, full of anticipation!
