Chapter 71

That night, Sima Qi sat in the study, studying the script. She would only enter the set when all the other departments were ready.That night, the production team of “Love Mist” had announced the names of the female lead and the second female lead on their official Weibo account.The result was, of course, a shock to everyone.”Could it be a mistake? Isn’t Sima Qi a songwriter? Why is she acting?””What’s even more ridiculous is that she’s the female lead? How can a newcomer become the female lead?””I heard that Sima Qi left Creative Entertainment and is now a company’s major shareholder. Now, she has also become an actress. Is this how much she loves to hate? It’s clear that she’s taking revenge on Zhang Rong.””These two people are in the same production team, should they be fighting?”Everyone knew that Sima Qi was so in love with Mu Xiao, and now, she suddenly wanted to debut as an actress. Surely, she was just trying to compete with Zhang Rong?However, she was clearly a songwriter, yet she had chosen to go into a field that she was not good in.Although everyone was impressed by Sima Qi’s courage, they all felt she was courting death!When the movie was released, it would surely be a big disaster.Hence, Sima Qi’s good music industry friends sent her sympathy messages.They probably wanted her to give up on this risky decision. The world of actors was too reckless and the world of songwriting was safer.Class 7’s songwriting graduation group.”Sima Qi, quickly, please show yourself. Even our teacher was angered by you and left the group. As the pride of our class, why did you give up on your songwriting career and change to acting?”Sima Qi entered the group and saw that there was indeed a notification on the interface from earlier. It stated that their beloved Professor Sun had left the group.Sima Qi said with a dumbfounded expression, “I didn’t give up on my songwriting career. I can still write songs while I’m filming. One doesn’t distract from the other. In fact, the change of environment will help to relax my brain. Perhaps I can even produce better songs!”Sima Qi had spoken very grandly.Since the start of the book, every time she had written a good song, the group would cheer enthusiastically.This was because out of the original thirty classmates, only half of them were still composing songs.This was an extremely tough industry.Sima Qi was an elite among them and they considered her their idol. With the songs Sima Qi wrote, she had always managed to enter the Top Three on the popular songs charts.Some envied her, while others were jealous of her. However, no one could have imagined that Sima Qi would one day change careers.Hearing Sima Qi’s words today, her former classmates heaved a sigh of relief.One of her classmates quickly said, “Then I’ll explain the situation to the Professor.”After a while, Sima Qi saw another new message in the group chat.[ The beloved Professor Sun has joined the group chat. ]Professor Sun said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Everyone, go back to your work.”Sima Qi, “…”At the same time, many people who knew Sima Qi were also surprised.For example, the colleagues in the Creative Entertainment songwriting department, and the company’s other shareholders.When they saw this message, their first reaction was, “It’s fake, right? How could Sima Qi be filming a movie?”However, the name was obvious.Even more ridiculous was that Zhang Rong, the company had been supporting, had only become the second female lead!Hence, at the shareholders’ meeting a few days later, Sima Qi’s appearance immediately attracted the crowd’s attention.Everyone stared at Sima Qi as if they were at a zoo to see a rare animal.Their eyes stared so hard that they seemed to bore holes into her.A few people were discussing animatedly with each other nearby.”Actually, Sima Qi is quite amazing. Her songwriting is amazing, and she even got the female lead role. She’s really strong.””Don’t tell me you think it’s because of her own strength? I heard from Zhang Rong’s assistant that Sima Qi is loaded. I guess you didn’t know this, but that show’s biggest investor is the Sima family. That’s right, the biggest person in power in the Sima family is Sima Qi’s father!””I understand, I understand, it’s the power of the investor!”Ordinary people like them did not have a big backer. They could not even imagine how glorious Sima Qi was.All they could do was to be envious.At the previous shareholders’ meeting, Zhang Rong said she would show strength. That was why the company had been willing to give her the most resources.However, Zhang Rong had only brought back a second female lead role.It was clear how difficult Zhang Rong’s situation would be during this shareholders’ meeting.Sima Qi entered the elevator. However, when the elevator doors opened, she saw Mu Xiao entering the elevator from another department.Beside Mu Xiao was Zhang Rong, who was smiling brightly.Zhang Rong glanced at Sima Qi and held Mu Xiao’s arm provocatively, looking in very high spirits.Sima Qi touched her chin. That couldn’t be right. How could Zhang Rong be so happy with the role of the second female lead?When they reached the meeting room entrance, Zhang Rong did not follow them into the meeting room due to the lesson she had learned the last time. She only sent a look at Sima Qi with a meaningful smile in her eyes.Sima Qi had a feeling that Zhang Rong had done something evil again.
