Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 449: Chapter 446: Movie Queen 13

Afraid of delaying the filming the next day, no one dared to stay up too late, so everyone dispersed after two hours.

However, the next morning, Fang Jian got everyone up before dawn, because he had a sudden burst of inspiration to shoot a scene where the leading actor and actress watch the sunrise together, requiring an early start.

Yawning on the way to the set, Ning Shuangshuang reflected with relief that fortunately, He Bin had the foresight not to let everyone stay up too late last night; otherwise, getting up this early would be torturous.

As Ning Shuangshuang yawned again while getting up, wiping away the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes, she didn’t notice and bumped right into a thin, frail-looking girl in ancient costume!

The girl was so light that she fell backward immediately upon colliding with Ning Shuangshuang. On reflex, Ning Shuangshuang grabbed the front of the girl’s costume, pulling her upright with force and preventing her from falling.

The girl was in costume, clearly an extra. After being steadied by Ning Shuangshuang, she hurriedly thanked her and ran off.

Ning Shuangshuang didn’t think much of this little episode, turning to proceed when her well-honed sense from years of being secretly photographed caught the faint click of a camera shutter!

Ning Shuangshuang was startled, turning her head wildly without thinking if she heard wrong, but with so many people around, she couldn’t tell who had taken the photo.

Ning Shuangshuang frowned and pondered for a moment, glancing around and indeed spotting at least two surveillance cameras pointed in her direction. Relieved, she headed to the monitoring room.

Thanks to her good relations during this period, Ning Shuangshuang managed to get her hands on the surveillance video of her supporting the person.

It’s not that Ning Shuangshuang was overcautious, but in her past life, she’d been slandered so many times, developing a hyper-awareness. This lifetime, Ning Shuangshuang decided to be prepared for everything, eliminating any chance of being defamed!

As it turned out, Ning Shuangshuang’s caution was justified, because within a day of her helping the extra, the very photo was posted online!

Yet, the photo was highly deceptive, showing Ning Shuangshuang reaching out to grab the lapel of an extra dressed in a bit part costume, with a very cold expression. Meanwhile, the woman she grabbed looked utterly panicked and terrified!

The titles on these photos were in striking red and the content beneath was eye-catching: ’Eccentric Director Fang Jian’s New Film Features Rising Star, But the Star Has a Fiery Temper, Attacks Extra on Set!’

Reading through the content, Ning Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation! The article was posted by someone with the online pseudonym ”Entertainment Glimpse,” and its narrative was completely off-course from what actually happened!

According to Entertainment Glimpse, Ning Shuangshuang came out of a room and was accidentally bumped into by a reckless extra. In response, this newly-promoted actress, favored by the eccentric director, exploded in anger and assaulted the poor extra who had unluckily bumped into her!

To substantiate their claims, the writer with the pseudonym Entertainment Glimpse included a firsthand account from the assaulted extra, who supported what was written.

The extra whined throughout about the injustice of being beaten, even presenting a photo covered in bruises, adding plausibility to this entertainment industry exposé.

Instead of blowing up as one might expect, Ning Shuangshuang was surprisingly calm when she saw the news, with a level head that even she found astonishing—so different from her past life’s temperament!

In her previous life, Ning Shuangshuang had been short-tempered, unable to tolerate even minor issues, and tended to speak her mind unchecked, leading to offenses. She never believed that being reborn could change her nature, yet it had!

At this moment, not only was Ning Shuangshuang not angry, but she was also calculating how to use this situation for her publicity without leaving any trace of her involvement.

At any rate, she planned to first act as if unaware, allowing the matter to ferment online. News about Director Fang Jian’s new film would soon go viral regardless of the content, and when it peaked, she intended to pull off a dramatic comeback.

No matter who was scheming against her, Ning Shuangshuang was determined to make them suffer unintended consequences!

In fact, Ning Shuangshuang hardly needed to wait, as the moment the news hit the web, it exploded, comments piling up at a rate of over ten per second, the level of attention truly astonishing!

The buzz was partly due to the film being directed by Fang Jian and partly fueled by fans of the character Qin Shuangshuang.

Following Ning Shuangshuang’s previous interview, many who idolized the legendary female general Qin Shuangshuang were keeping tabs on Ning Shuangshuang, the only actress capable of portraying their idol.

Upon seeing the news of Ning Shuangshuang’s violent conduct, other onlookers were fine, but fans of Qin Shuangshuang exploded in anger, publicly denouncing Ning Shuangshuang!

The reason was simple: Qin Shuangshuang received high marks in historical evaluations, and as her fans, they naturally hoped that the actor portraying her was also of great character!

But to their dismay, the actress they anticipated turned out to be someone of low moral character! This led many fans of Qin Shuangshuang to call for Ning Shuangshuang’s ousting from the entertainment industry.

”I really didn’t expect it. I thought someone who could portray my idol would have a good character, but it turned out like this!”

”No need to say more, I have only one suggestion: let Ning Shuangshuang get out of the entertainment industry!”

”Someone like Ning Shuangshuang using the same name as my idol Qin Shuangshuang is an insult to my idol! A legendary figure, unparalleled in the world, where does Ning Shuangshuang measure up to such a name!”

”Such a morally bankrupt person, is the eccentric director blind to endorse her? No matter how good her acting is, she shouldn’t portray Qin Shuangshuang! She’s not worthy!”

”No more nonsense, everyone, brothers and sisters, let’s unite, boycott Ning Shuangshuang, and get her out of showbiz!”
