Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Advertising Behind the ScenesAfter the filming of the public service advertisement ended, the intensive editing period began. Advertisements don’t require promotion, and this time, with the support from above, the audit process was extraordinarily fast. While Director Xu Qian edited the final cut, Shi Yaoguang took Cheng Lingdang to negotiate with the director, and they added the skill of "perfume blending" into it. Cheng Lingdang’s own appearance was very good, and even though she was just an amateur, Xu Qian still let her appear on camera. "Brother Shi, this is my first time shooting such an advertisement..." Before the ad aired, Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help but whisper to Shi Yaoguang about her filming experience. Shi Yaoguang glanced at her, "You can’t handle this?" "Yeah yeah!" Cheng Lingdang shrank her neck, "I’m just a pure and cute little girl, but after shooting the ad, I’ve become a well-known star. What if..." Shi Yaoguang mercilessly interrupted her fantasy, "You’re thinking too much. If shooting an ad could make you a well-known star, then... the opportunity to shoot ads wouldn’t even be yours to have." Cheng Lingdang was just saying it, and she knew in her heart that the likelihood of becoming famous from an ad wasn’t high. Moreover, compared to her own perfume blending charity work, she was looking forward to Shi Yaoguang’s even more. ... At 8 PM, the Weibo official account promptly released the advertisement’s final cut as well as some behind-the-scenes footage. Speaking of behind-the-scenes, Director Xu Qian’s were the most elaborately crafted and the most revealing. The content of the behind-the-scenes was none other than An Siqi foolishly competing with Shi Yaoguang in various contests. Most people who came to watch the ad were there for their idol, and some were attracted by the teaser clips that were released ahead of time. After watching the final cut, netizens were all drawn to a newcomer. This person was Shi Yaoguang. And as famous as she was, there was An Siqi. As the saying goes, without comparison there is no harm; An Siqi continuously provoked Shi Yaoguang, all Shi Yaoguang did was respond. "Shocking! The protagonist of the public service advertisement is actually this crazily over-the-top——" "History’s most ruthless face-slapping, welcome to the traditional charity grand giveaway, below is the link to the behind-the-scenes." "I came for Brother Shi, but who knew Brother Shi would be so sweet in the behind-the-scenes. Did he smear honey on himself beforehand?" "I’m so envious of Miss Shi Yaoguang, I want Brother Shi to call me a fairy sister too!" "The person above, you better wash up and go to bed, not everyone gets special treatment." "Am I the only one curious about what’s with the ’rat droppings’ in the final cut?" Some earnest netizens expressed dissatisfaction with the hierarchy established in the public service advertisement. To be precise, the issue of hierarchy arose after the official announcement. At that time, most people’s attention was locked on Shi Yaoguang. After all. She was a complete newcomer, yet her hierarchy was ranked first in Director Xu Qian’s team. Meaning, she was given the largest share of the screen time in the entire ad’s final cut. And there were quite a few people who were unsatisfied with this. Fans of Ming Yan and Wen Helun had all expressed their discontent. However, their idols stated their opinions at the earliest opportunity. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They all believed Shi Yaoguang deserved it, and their fans couldn’t exactly refute their idols’ opinions, so they waited to pass judgement until after the final cut was released. If it were just this, it could’ve been considered no big deal. The netizens who initially came to find fault with the entertainment industry newcomer "Shi Yaoguang" watched the final cut and the behind-the-scenes, not only failing to pick out any flaws but actually becoming her fans. Not to mention personality, just in terms of ability, she was unparalleled in the entertainment industry. Not to talk about distant examples, of the actors invited to the charity film organized by the higher-ups this time, which of them didn’t just learn some flashy moves to perform according to the script? Only Shi Yaoguang. She truly knew it all! Who else would have a fanbase if people like this didn’t? The only flaw, if any, was... An Siqi. Compared with Shi Yaoguang, An Siqi was just a pile of shit. Even that was saying too much in her favor. "Did An Siqi get in through the back door or something?" "A perfectly good charity film ruined by the sight of her! If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang and Ming Yan, I really couldn’t keep watching." "Can’t they cut An Siqi out of the final film? We can’t let her ruin a good movie..." The public outcry was so loud that the officials simply opened a voting channel. Depending on the final voting results, they would decide whether to cut An Siqi’s scenes. There was no suspense about the outcome. An Siqi’s footage was successfully "snipped" away. ... An Siqi, upon receiving this news, smashed everything in her room that could be smashed. "Damn it, damn it all..." Her eyes turned red with rage; she blamed everything on Shi Yaoguang! Shi Yaoguang hadn’t interfered in the matter from beginning to end, but An Siqi put all the blame on her. An Siqi’s sponsor’s assistant, who had arranged everything for her, couldn’t help but say in a low voice while watching her go mad, "Miss An, don’t be angry, this has nothing to do with her." An Siqi glared at him with bloodshot eyes, "Just because you say it has nothing to do with her, it doesn’t?" "If she hadn’t attracted so much attention, would I be subjected to such scrutiny?" The assistant couldn’t help but silently criticize: Didn’t An Siqi have any idea why Shi Yaoguang attracted attention? If she hadn’t provoked Shi Yaoguang in the first place, things wouldn’t have gotten so ugly. However, An Siqi never reflected on herself. She put all the blame on Shi Yaoguang. "Shi Yaoguang, Shi Yaoguang... she and I can’t coexist!" An Siqi gazed fiercely in a certain direction, her teeth clenched in hatred. The assistant watched her like this and took a couple of steps back while reminding himself to keep his distance from her. This vengeful woman might be tolerable for the boss, but he... dared not provoke her. While the assistant was thinking, An Siqi’s phone suddenly rang. An Siqi immediately glared at him, "What are you staring at? Get my phone for me!" The assistant took a deep breath, carefully avoiding the sharp fragments of porcelain on the floor, walked up to An Siqi, picked up the phone that was half an arm’s reach from her, and handed it to her: "Miss An, your phone." An Siqi snorted coldly, snatching the phone arrogantly, "I’m taking a call, get lost." The assistant managed to force a professional fake smile, "Of course, Miss An." After saying that, he walked away without looking back. Only after he was gone did An Siqi turn to look at the phone. The phone was still ringing; she looked at the caller ID, and her heart sank a little. Her hands trembled as she tried to answer, but she accidentally pressed the hang-up button. In that instant, her heart went cold. The next second, A text message came through. [Give you half an hour, meet me at Jingtai Garden.] Seeing the message, An Siqi nearly let out a scream of panic. She stared at the phone for two seconds, then tossed it away as if it were something filthy. Watching her phone shatter on the floor, her heart was almost filled with fear.
