Chapter 815: Disappointment, Ji Qingwei’s True Colors (1)
Whoever dares to say that Si Fuqing isn’t fit to play JIANG Zhaoyue, he’ll take a copy of ‘The Chronicle of JIANG Zhaoyue’ and beat them to death with it!
This was the formidable Nation’s Heroine JIANGZhaoyue!
Si Fuqing had brought out her spirit, as well as her innocence.
Who could argue against that?
The screenwriter was even more ecstatic than Director Lu.
She couldn’t help but hug Sang Yanqing next to her. “Sister Sang, your Teacher Si, your Teacher Si...”
Sang Yanqing was equally stunned.
Though both Sui Yan and JIANG Zhaoyue were absolute leading female characters, they were entirely different.
Sui Yan was driven by her hatred for the Celestial Ruler, leading her to seek revenge, break out of the demon cave, ascend to the Celestial Palace, and slay the immortals.
But JIANG Zhaoyue was just an ordinary person who unhesitatingly chose to lead the army due to loyalty and faith.
The JIANG family had a legacy of resilience, and JIANG Zhaoyue was no exception.
If there was any similarity between these two characters, it was their indomitable spirit.
“Qingqing acted so well, I couldn’t control myself.” Tao Yunxi wiped her tears. This wasn’t just acting; she was genuinely drawn into the tragic farewell scene by Si Fuqing’s portrayal of JIANG Zhaoyue.
It felt as if she was about to lose her daughter the next second.
Director Lu, seeing how Si Fuqing effortlessly exited the character, was shocked. “You don’t even need time to step out of the role?”
Even a seasoned actress like Tao Yunxi couldn’t calm down for a long time, yet Si Fuqing managed to do it instantly.
What kind of terrifying acting talent was this?
Si Fuqing’s eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled lightly. “Maybe it’s because no matter how well I act, I can’t truly convey the brutality of those historical wars.”
The main theme of ‘The Nation’s Heroine’ was more heart-wrenching than ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ because it was based on real historical events.
“It’s already excellent.” Director Lu was almost dancing with excitement. “Our budget will be spent on actual war scenes, not special effects. Don’t worry, Si, it will be spectacular.”
The screenwriter instinctively spoke up, “With Teacher Si here, we can save money on a martial arts director.”
Sang Yanqing: “...”
They had just met her artist, and suddenly they all acted like her?
“I trust Director Lu’s production team, which is one reason I chose to take this role,” Si Fuqing nodded with a smile. “But I hope Director Lu can grant me a privilege to personally select the actors for JIANG Haiping and JIANG Xuanjin.”
“No problem,” Director Lu agreed readily. “You’re the lead, you can choose whoever you want.”
The series primarily focused on JIANG Zhaoyue, but it would use a montage to intertwine the story of the entire JIANG family at the beginning.
JIANG Haiping and JIANG Xuanjin would appear in the first episode but die quickly.
To prevent backlash from history enthusiasts, Director Lu hadn’t planned to show these characters’ faces.
But since Si Fuqing requested, he trusted her judgment.
“We’ll start filming in June,” Director Lu adjusted his glasses, unable to contain his excitement. “I’ll try to have the series ready for release right after filming, so you can win this year’s Cloud Award for Best Actress!”
At first, having a younger sister made her very happy, and she was willing to save all the good things for her, even if they couldn’t meet.
But later, she realized that only children who cried got the candy.
She had been thrown into the Thousand Army Alliance from a young age and had little emotional attachment to the Ji family.
Especially after meeting with Ji Longtai and Madam Ji several times, she had grown cold-hearted.
Ji Qingwei’s reaction further confirmed that they were not on the same path.
Ji Qingwei’s eyes suddenly widened.
Ji Qingyao no longer cared to see Ji Qingwei’s reaction and walked straight out of the bedroom.
Seeing her icy demeanor, the butler didn’t dare to ask any questions and watched her leave.
After Ji Qingyao left, the butler knocked on the door. “Second Miss, did you have a fight with the First Miss?”
“How could I fight with my older sister?” Ji Qingwei shook her head. “Sister just doesn’t like me. I won’t be willful anymore.”
Hearing this, the butler sighed in relief.
In comparison, the Second Miss was more considerate, while the First Miss’s heart was too cold.
He shook his head and reported the meeting between Ji Qingwei and Ji Qingyao to Ji Longtai and Madam Ji.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of LIGroup.
LI Yanchen put down the file. “Did you find out?”
“Yes, President LI. We found some things about Miss Bai’s time abroad.” The newly appointed secretary handed over a file. “Miss Bai lied to you. It wasn’t her brother who supported her schooling abroad, but her childhood sweetheart from the orphanage, who is also her boyfriend.”
Upon hearing this, LI Yanchen’s expression darkened. “Boyfriend? Did they sleep together?”
The secretary was startled but quickly answered, “No, they didn’t.”
LI Yanchen sneered. “Name.”
The secretary hesitated, “It’s Su Yang.”
LI Yanchen’s expression finally changed.
He indeed didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry.
And neither did the heirs of large listed corporations unless the name was very famous.
Su Yang was one of those.
Seeing LI Yanchen’s face turning extremely grim, the secretary’s heart skipped a beat. “President Li, he is a top star, a very talented one...”
Top stars with both talent and fanbase were very rare and highly valued in the entertainment industry.
A sinister look appeared in LI Yanchen’s eyes. “Top star? Even a top star is useless.”
Daring to covet his person, even if it was someone he didn’t care for, was unacceptable.
He intended to destroy Su Yang.
If he couldn’t destroy him, he would make sure Su Yang couldn’t survive in the entire Great Xia Empire.
