Chapter 809

Golden Agent of the Adonis (129)

Xia Lingling was a fan of both Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan and, naturally, their CP shipper. She felt like she won the lottery by getting this opportunity that everyone envied. She still felt like she was dreaming and her heart was filled with happiness without a trace of doubt. She sincerely believed that Chu Xiang was an all-around manager, and by following her, she would become popular and get to act in more of the roles she loves.

Xia Lingling had known before that Xiao Lin was Chu Xiang’s right-hand woman, so she happily greeted her without any unnecessary thoughts.

Chu Xiang had been observing them all along and was pleased to see their focused attitudes. She dismissed the driver, assistant, and others, leaving only Mu Sen, Xia Lingling, Xiao Chu and Fang Yuan. Then she presented a few selected scripts that she had chosen.

She gave each of them three scripts, which Xiao Lin and Fang Yuan had already reviewed before. Now, she asked them to discuss the pros and cons of each script, showcasing their abilities. Then she let Mu Sen and Xia Lingling share their insights before giving her own opinions.

The scripts she presented naturally couldn’t be of poor quality. After several discussions, both Mu Sen and Xia Lingling agreed with her suggestions. He would play a villainous role in a drama with dual male leads, portraying a character with a complex and compelling backstory that eventually justified his evil deeds, giving him a chance at redemption. It was a challenging role that, if performed well, would leave an unforgettable impression, but if performed poorly, it could generate hatred from the audience.

Mu Sen had never played a villain before, but with his excellent acting skills and passion for the craft, his eyes lit up upon reading the script. He wholeheartedly agreed with this choice and quickly immersed himself in the role.

Xia Lingling would play the second female lead in an idol drama, a lively and adorable character who was a bit scatterbrained but had a positive worldview. She would constantly find herself in comical misunderstandings and serve as the comedy relief of the whole drama. Her romantic storyline in the drama would be the secondary couple, providing sweet and heartwarming moments throughout. If she performed averagely, she would be a likable supporting female character, but if she excelled, she would become a highlight of the entire drama, even more popular than the female lead.

Xia Lingling didn’t know how to analyze scripts and characters yet, but after listening to Chu Xiang’s analysis, she liked the role more and more. She didn’t find the character too difficult to play and immediately accepted the offer happily. At the same time, she excitedly left comments in the live chat, expressing her admiration for Chu Xiang as the most outstanding manager. She felt incredibly lucky!

Considering that if they went straight into filming the drama, it would take a while for the TV series to air. That would also waste some time without generating much buzz. Thus, Chu Xiang arranged variety shows for them to film before joining the drama. The variety shows would air in autumn, and then the TV series would premiere during the winter break, which worked out perfectly.

She was no longer the same as when she first started working with Fang Zhenxuan. She had expanded her network and gained access to higher-quality resources.

For Mu Sen, she arranged a variety show focused on acting skills. The guests included newcomers, young influencers, and some “green leaves” who were either not yet popular or had fallen out of the limelight. Mu Sen was also considered one of the “green leaves” who hadn’t gained much popularity yet, so his participation in this variety show was fitting. Chu Xiang believed in his talent and had already communicated with the production team. As long as he didn’t significantly underperform, they wouldn’t eliminate him from the show. [Note: Green leaf – refers to an actor playing a supporting role.]

As for Xia Lingling, she was invited to join an indoor game show as one of the four main hosts. The show was hosted by two popular variety show veterans, and Xia Lingling and another young male host were the supporting cast, responsible for adding humor. The show had high popularity, and the games were entertaining. Even as a supporting host, Xia Lingling would receive sufficient exposure. If she could be more likable in her performance, it would be even easier for her to attract fans.

Especially in this show, there was a game segment called “Whisper Challenge” in each episode, where the MCs and guests would take turns whispering or miming something for the final participant to guess. Sometimes they would use classic lines from movies or TV dramas, and other times they would mimic actions and expressions. Regardless of the content, it would showcase Xia Lingling’s acting skills and provide her with high-quality exposure as an actress.

The resources arranged by Chu Xiang gave them a sense of security. Even if she wasn’t personally guiding them, as long as they had the right resources, they would seize the opportunity themselves. Moreover, she already had crisis management and marketing decisions in place. What else was there to worry about?

Just as they were discussing, they heard the sound of a password lock being opened at the door. Fang Zhenxuan walked in carrying a big bag of fruits, wearing a pleasant smile on his face. “Haven’t finished talking yet?”

Xiao Lin and Fang Yuan immediately stood up to greet him, while Mu Sen and Xia Lingling turned their heads and also stood up to say hello. Although Mu Sen was six years older than Fang Zhenxuan, being under Chu Xiang’s guidance made Fang Zhenxuan feel like an older brother figure.

Xia Lingling was even more excited, and her heart was screaming with excitement. Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s true!

Chu Xiang  didn’t expect Fang Zhenxuan to appear at this moment. He should be filming on set. However, seeing him entering confidently, carrying things and opening the password lock, she couldn’t help but laugh. She stood up to greet him.
