Whether the myth of the stock god is shattered or not doesn't really matter in China. At least quite a few people have taken a fancy to Ji Xiaoli's popularity again.
A film crew approached Sister Chun, saying they wanted to invite Ji Xiaoli to star in their drama.
The dramas produced by this crew have always been of high quality, and their reputation is quite good in the industry.
Sister Chun thought it over and didn't give an immediate answer. She only said that she would seriously consider their invitation.
However, after reading the script, Sister Chun was quite tempted.
The role assigned to Ji Xiaoli in this script was not the female lead, but the character's personality was very similar to hers. It was also a very lucky young girl who had helped the male and female leads a great deal.
This character was very appealing. If Ji Xiaoli could play it well, her popularity would surely reach a new level.
Sister Chun quickly sent the script to Ji Xiaoli. "Ms. Ji, I've told you the general situation. Personally, I think this script suits you very well, but it's still up to you whether to take it or not."
For a moment, Ji Xiaoli was a bit undecided. "I got it. I'll think it over carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiaoli looked at her phone with a frown and began to struggle with the decision of whether to take the role or not.
Just then, she saw Zheng Nanfeng coming over. Ji Xiaoli decided to ask for his opinion.
"Nanfeng, come here. I have a question for you."
Hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng obediently walked up to Ji Xiaoli.
Ji Xiaoli told him about this matter and then asked for his opinion. "Do you think I should take this role?"
Zheng Nanfeng said indifferently, "If you think it's okay, then it is. I'll follow your decision."
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes. This was no different from saying nothing!
She had hoped that Zheng Nanfeng could give her some constructive advice, but now it seemed she had expected too much...
Seeing Ji Xiaoli looking unhappy, Zheng Nanfeng was puzzled. "What's wrong? If you don't want to take it, then don't. It's just a supporting role anyway. I'll find a script for you later and let you be the female lead!"
Ji Xiaoli shook her head. It wasn't about whether she was the female lead or not.
"It's not about being the female lead. Although this is a supporting role, it really suits me."
Hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng was even more confused. "Then just take it!"
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes again, a bit annoyed. This guy really needed to be taught a lesson!
After thinking for a while, Ji Xiaoli suddenly said, "I just remembered that this crew is quite special!"
Zheng Nanfeng looked at Ji Xiaoli in confusion. "What's so special about it?"
Ji Xiaoli counted on her fingers and then pretended to be troubled as she looked at Zheng Nanfeng.
"The crew is a closed - set one. Although my role doesn't have many scenes, I'll still have to stay in the crew for over a month!"
As soon as he heard that Ji Xiaoli would have to stay in a closed - set crew for over a month, Zheng Nanfeng's face changed instantly.
"Xiaoli, I don't think this role is that good. It's not the female lead. How about we don't take it?"
Hearing Zheng Nanfeng's change of attitude, Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh.
Zheng Nanfeng was puzzled. "Why are you laughing?"
Ji Xiaoli held back her laughter and said, "You were just telling me to take it. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Zheng Nanfeng looked at Ji Xiaoli seriously and lied without batting an eyelid.
"I thought about it just now and realized that this role is not worthy of you. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Ji Xiaoli deliberately said, "Really? But I think this role suits me quite well!"
"Xiaoli, with your current popularity, how can you take a small supporting role? It doesn't match your status!"
Just thinking about the two of them being separated for over a month, Zheng Nanfeng felt hopeless. Immediately, he advised her earnestly.
Hearing Zheng Nanfeng talking nonsense non - stop, Ji Xiaoli felt better and better.
Ji Xiaoli leaned into Zheng Nanfeng's arms like a little girl and then looked up with a smile and asked, "Why didn't I realize before that you're so good at making things up?"
Zheng Nanfeng was immediately anxious. "I'm not making things up! These are all my heartfelt words, okay?"
Ji Xiaoli didn't mind and just followed his words. "Yes, yes, yes. I know you're doing this for my consideration and for my own good!"
After hearing Ji Xiaoli say this, Zheng Nanfeng's expression looked much better.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Nanfeng pushed Ji Xiaoli away and turned to leave.
"The secretary just called me. There might be something going on in the company. I'll go return the call."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli nodded obediently. "Okay, go ahead."
After Zheng Nanfeng left, Ji Xiaoli sat there alone, chin in hand, thinking about the script.
Actually, this opportunity was quite good. It didn't matter that she wasn't the female lead. There were many precedents in the entertainment industry of supporting roles becoming popular. The most important thing was that a script that suited her was really hard to come by.
Moreover, the reputation of this crew was truly impeccable. Ji Xiaoli believed that she could gain something from this drama.
Although her current popularity was high, without a good work, she wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry was never short of popular artists. What Ji Xiaoli needed to do was to take advantage of her current popularity and quickly produce a high - quality work so that she could have a long - term career.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Xiaoli decided to take this drama.
Not long after Ji Xiaoli made her decision, Zheng Nanfeng came back.
"You're back. I've decided to take this role, so I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you!"
After saying this, Ji Xiaoli looked at Zheng Nanfeng uneasily, as Zheng Nanfeng wasn't very willing for her to take this role.
But Zheng Nanfeng's reaction really surprised Ji Xiaoli.
"Sure, I definitely support whatever decision you make! As long as you want to do it, I'll definitely support you whole - heartedly!"
Ji Xiaoli looked at Zheng Nanfeng in a daze. "But you didn't agree with me taking this role just now?"
Zheng Nanfeng looked magnanimous. "I thought about it just now and decided that I should follow your decision!"
Ji Xiaoli looked at Zheng Nanfeng, not believing it at all. Come on, this was definitely not something Zheng Nanfeng would do!
"Really?"
Zheng Nanfeng nodded. "Of course it's true. This is your career. I should support you!"
"Aren't you angry?"
"Of course not. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would get angry over such a small thing?"
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli silently nodded in her heart.
Zheng Nanfeng recalled the content of his phone call with the secretary just now and then showed a bright smile.
"Xiaoli, look at the great sacrifice I've made for you! You have to compensate me well in the future!"
This was more like something Zheng Nanfeng would say!
Hearing Zheng Nanfeng say this, Ji Xiaoli believed him a bit more.
However, how could he change his attitude so quickly just after going out to answer a phone call?
As she was thinking, Ji Xiaoli accidentally blurted out what was on her mind. "Why are you acting so strange? This is so unlike you..."
Hearing Ji Xiaoli say this, Zheng Nanfeng's smile instantly faded. "Xiaoli! How can you say that about me? Isn't it right for me to support your career?"
Realizing that she had blurted out her thoughts, Ji Xiaoli felt a bit embarrassed and quickly tried to please Zheng Nanfeng.
"Of course not. I'm so happy that you can support me!"
After saying this, she even gave Zheng Nanfeng a hug.
