Chapter 70: Personal Wrap

So why did President Lin insist on having Miss Ling sign with Dou Beast Livestream in the first place?

Now that Miss Ling clearly wasn’t even livestreaming much and was throwing herself wholeheartedly into the entertainment industry, wouldn’t it have been better to just have her sign with Starlight Entertainment directly?

Liu Wenchu didn’t want to say anything.

His heart was exhausted.

As far as the entertainment industry was concerned, the Lin Group had long since established a complete industry chain.

For example, if a streamer from Dou Beast Livestream wanted to take things a step further, the group would provide a complete path for advancement.

If they wanted to act, there was Starlight Entertainment.

If they wanted to sing, there was Starlight Entertainment and its subsidiary, QQ Music.

If they wanted to move behind the scenes, there was Xingyue Pictures.

In other words, the matter President Lin had assigned was fundamentally something Dou Beast Livestream couldn’t handle.

He had to contact Starlight Entertainment separately.

“President Liu? Are we continuing the meeting?”

One of the junior operations staff members cautiously spoke up.

Liu Wenchu was already irritated.

“What meeting? That’s enough, everyone can disperse. It’s still the same old stuff. Just do your own work and report any problems immediately.”

After returning to his office, Liu Wenchu immediately called Starlight Entertainment, explained the situation, and made the implications clear.

“So, understand?”

“Understood! Just watch us!”

A certain behemoth in the entertainment industry began operating at full speed because of a single call from Feng Weiyuan.

Ling Xiaoli knew nothing about any of this.

………

The next day was another bright and sunny day.

Ever since the snowfall that day, the weather had remained wonderful for the past few days.

Today was Ling Xiaoli’s second scene on set—and also her final one.

After today, Ling Xiaoli would be leaving the production team ahead of everyone else.

For one thing, there wasn’t much more she could learn in such a short period of time.

For another, she needed to hurry up and create more opportunities for herself.

With the major production from the national broadcaster no longer happening after the New Year, the task had become even more urgent!

These past few days, she had been keeping an eye on news about Yuan Yuan online.

Yuan Yuan’s name had appeared on the blacklist of entertainers issued from above, but there had still never been any news of Yuan Yuan’s death.

Half a month ago, Chengzi Jiang’s car accident had even made the local trending searches. It was impossible for Yuan Yuan to have died without a single bit of news getting out.

Therefore, Yuan Yuan had to still be alive.

In the original novel, the time between a villain’s death and their exit from the story wasn’t very long.

So did that mean Yuan Yuan probably wouldn’t die?

If so, what exactly were the conditions for death?

This question concerning life and death was something Ling Xiaoli had always placed at the very top of her list.

Was it that characters who died in the original novel would only die once they reached their exit from the story?

Or would characters who died in the original novel inevitably die once their destined time arrived?

Her heart turned cold.

If it was the former, then things were still manageable.

She would find a way to remain active on the stage for the rest of her life.

But if it was the latter…

Ling Xiaoli lowered her eyes, allowing her long eyelashes to cast shadows over them.

She needed to find another person to test it on.

……

“Xiaoli, you can do it!”

Luo Zhaoyin’s voice suddenly came from nearby.

“Eh? You look kind of scary. What are you thinking about?”

Ling Xiaoli looked up and smiled.

“Nothing. I’m going on set!”

“Mm-hmm!”

There was no need to mention the lines Ling Xiaoli had practiced countless times for this scene.

She also got practical experience with wire work.

After all, the Eagle God couldn’t fly. That would be hard to explain.

During her previous instruction, the action choreographer had praised Ling Xiaoli for being naturally gifted, having excellent balance, and learning very quickly. The praise had actually made her feel rather embarrassed.

So this scene was also completed in one take.

Of course, this was largely thanks to Feng Weiyuan.

His movements were crisp and clean, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear in his hands was wielded exceptionally beautifully.

Ling Xiaoli and another young actor playing General Turtle shouted their lines together.

Then Yang Jian, played by Feng Weiyuan, flew forward.

He blocked it—but not completely.

The spear struck.

A life was lost!

And with that, Ling Xiaoli’s individual scenes were officially wrapped.
