Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (43)

“I thought yesterday’s incident was just over, but I didn’t expect you to be able to use it this afternoon,” Fang Zhenxuan glanced around, leaned closer to Chu Xiang and whispered, “Hey, to be honest, did you already think about doing this yesterday?”

Chu Xiang pushed his head away, “Of course I planned a strategy; do you think it was improvised? All good things have to be planned and polished. There might be some impromptu surprises, but those are unstable factors, so if you are not careful, it’s going to be hard to go up against.”

Fang Zhenxuan saw that his name was ranked first in the trending search again. He pursed his lips and said, “It feels a bit mysterious. It’s almost as if I don’t know my own name.”

Chu Xiang laughed and said, “Are you that surprised? In the future, you must also remember that public relations are not about justifying right or wrong. Sometimes, the public doesn’t care about the real right or wrong since they will only believe what they think is right or wrong. This is a post-truth era, where self-awareness is greater than the truth. We just need to use a beautiful process to get the results we want. As for whether the truth is disclosed or not during the process, it is not important; what’s more important than this is the follow-up of the public relations team.”

“Don’t think that it’s over after the public relations announce certain things because the influence of the aftermath is still there. Although it is not conspicuous, it does exist. If something goes wrong in the follow-up, it will be easy to cause backlash and the effect on the public will be greatly reduced. But if, like me, you use the aftermath to promote your story, then the effect will be a lot higher. That’s why you can’t take these situations lightly. Chen Lifeng’s failure yesterday was because of that attitude.”

Chu Xiang knew that Fang Zhenxuan knew nothing about the entertainment industry, but they were partners now. If they wanted to reach the top together, Fang Zhenxuan must be familiar with all the operating methods in the entertainment industry. Fang Zhenxuan also knew the benefits, so he listened carefully when she taught him these principles.

Director Chen, from a distance, saw them together. He smiled and said to the people around him, “Little Chu is lecturing Little Fang about the film again? I never thought that a manager could explain the tips and tricks to Little Fang in a clear manner for him to understand, but it saved me a lot of time.”

“These days, the managers are all-rounders. Seriously, some are really amazing. I think that with Chu’s skills and good looks, she will definitely be popular when he debuts as a star.”

Director Chen laughed, “Everyone has their own aspirations and besides, agents can also become gold-medal agents, who are no less than celebrities. I am quite optimistic about them as they are both good seedlings with self-motivation.”

“Director Chen is correct.”

The day’s filming went smoothly. Fang Zhenxuan filmed all afternoon with Chu Xiang giving him pointers by his side. His acting senses were getting better and better. Coupled with Director Chen’s advice from time to time, everyone could see the amount of progress he made just in one day.

After filming for such a long time, he was actually very tired as the heavy costumes and wigs made things a bit uncomfortable. However, Fang Zhenxuan found it very enjoyable. Memorizing lines, analyzing characters, reasoning logical chains and creating performance methods were all processes that needed to be done step by step, which was no easier than studying law for him.

Plus, he liked to challenge difficult things, which were much more interesting to him than those mechanical part-time jobs. Fang Zhenxuan felt that this shooting made him a little bit fond of acting, but he was still a little unsatisfied at the end.

Chu Xiang heard him ask what time he was going to start shooting tomorrow before she patted him on the back amusedly, “You will have days where you become tired in the future. By then, don’t argue with me and say that you don’t want to film. For now, let’s take the script today and go back to study it carefully by just casually acting out the scenes at home. Today is the first day of joining the crew, so we’re going to have a meal to relax and get familiar with each other. With that, we will get along more harmoniously in the future.”

Fang Zhenxuan nodded, “Then I will treat them to this meal.”

“Don’t worry, keep the account with me first and we can deduct it from your salary together later,” Chu Xiang smiled before she beckoned him to get in the car. Then, she asked Xiao Lin to get a few cars to invite everyone to the restaurant for dinner.

Eating, drinking and having fun have always been able to bring everyone closer in the shortest time possible. Especially when playing games, a revolutionary friendship could soon be formed.

Chu Xiang took Fang Zhenxuan and made a toast to everyone at the dinner. Every sentence made the crew comfortable and melted away the strange awkwardness of the first meeting. It was also there that they realized Fang Zhenxuan was surprisingly good at drinking as he didn’t feel drunk at all even after drinking so much.

With the main character sober, everyone was undoubtedly having more fun. After such a night, Chu Xiang, Fang Zhenxuan, Xiao Lin and Xinxin, all got to know everyone well, which made the crew harbor a lot of goodwill and affection for them.

Chu Xiang felt very satisfied as this was a good start! When she first came to this world, she felt like she was playing around in the entertainment circle, so it was really fun. Therefore, she decided to continue playing as an agent. It was a very interesting profession, but it was only by getting to the top could she decide if the scenery was beautiful.
