Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?Sima Qi nodded at Huang Yi in a friendly manner, but she was met with Huang Yi’s indifference.In the end, it was decided that the second female lead would be played by Huang Yi.”Congratulations!” As was customary, when Huang Yi came over to shake hands, Sima Qi extended her hand.After Huang Yi shook hands with the director, he walked unwillingly to Sima Qi’s side.When Sima Qi touched Huang Yi’s hand, Huang Yi quickly released it.She quickly retreated as if she was trying to escape from a plague and ran away.Sima Qi, “…”She wanted to say that she had not offended Huang Yi in any way. Why was Huang Yi treating her as if she was her enemy?When the waters reverse, they dispersed.After a series of auditions, Sima Qi realized that both the male and female supporting roles were held by true acting talents.The overall standard of this drama would be guaranteed.Sima Qi was only a little uncertain about Shi Mo, who had never acted before,Soon, the cast list of “The High Monk” was released on the Internet.Initially, not many people had paid attention to this production on Weibo, except for some manga fans who came often to check on the latest developments.However, after today’s cast list had been released, it quickly sparked a lively discussion.The discussion had started among the manga fans first.The High Monk Looked At Me fan: “Why is the male lead a newbie?”The High Monk Touched Me fan: “Is it Sima Qi and Shi Mo? I did some research and discovered that the two of them have appeared on variety shows together. They’re very good-looking, but their acting skills are unknown!”The High Monk Is Mine Fan: “They look as if they came straight out of the manga. Putting aside their acting skills, these two people are completely cheating. How can they look so similar to the characters in the manga? I even suspect that Xiao Sima created the manga based on the two of them!”The original fans of the manga only cared about the actors who would be playing these characters.They were very satisfied with the looks of the male and female protagonists. Some people even guessed that Xiao Sima was Sima Qi herself. Why else did the female lead in the manga drawing look so similar to Sima Qi?This suspicion received the approval of many manga fans, so they looked forward to seeing Sima Qi as the female lead even more. As for Shi Mo, even though he was a newbie, they did feel that his looks were compatible with the image of the male lead. For the moment, the manga fans felt extremely satisfied.However, eventually, the other netizens also noticed this list of actors.This was especially so after Lang Qi and Gong Hao had retweeted the list of actors.Lang Qi: “Support Sima Qi’s latest work, everyone must cheer for her!”Gong Hao: “Support!”The fans were all very excited. Could it be that their idol had a new work?In the end, they looked at the list.The male and female leads were such newbies…However, their idols were only acting as the third and fourth male leads?Were they just going to be sidekicks to the newbies?Was Sima Qi even worthy?To have their idols take on supporting roles for her!This was simply detestable.All the fans lost their minds. Even though their idols had said they would act as guests to support the artistes from the same company, they still felt that Sima Qi was not worthy.And so it was.”Sister Sima, you’re gaining so many fans now. You gained 50,000 fans today!”When Xiao Tian opened her Weibo, she was astounded by Sima Qi’s shocking number of fans.Sima Qi quickly looked over and saw that it was true.Could it be that the production was promoting her?”Quick, let me see. Are they complimenting me on how well I match with the character in the manga? I’m looking forward to it.”The last time she gained new fans was when she announced that she would be the female lead. She had gained a lot of fans from the manga fans.Sima Qi took the phone and clicked on a few new messages. Her face darkened and she stuffed the phone back into Xiaotian’s hands.”I’m tired, I’d better not look at these things.”The fans said she was not worthy of being the female lead.So, the new fans all hated her.She had just been happy for nothing.Xiao Tian was speechless when she saw the comments.It turned out that everyone felt that Sima Qi was not qualified to play the female lead. It seemed very obvious that the production had been forced to cast her.It was completely the power of money.There was no way to refute this statement. Even the capitalist Shi Mo had personally taken the male lead role, even allowing the movie star and popular artiste to be in supporting roles!It was the power of money.Xiao Tian still wanted to console Sima Qi, “Sister Sima, your acting skills are much better than Zhang Rong’s. Didn’t Zhang Rong also rely on money to get the female lead role?”Sima Qi pouted.It seemed she could not wash away the matter of relying on money.She dejectedly picked up her phone to see if Zhang Rong had been badly criticized.However, when she opened it, she saw in Zhang Rong’s Weibo account that there had been a lot of videos of her practicing martial arts diligently recently.She said that she needed to improve a little bit every day.There were even pictures of her paintings.There were also videos of her playing the piano and practicing vocal music.All kinds of positive marketing texts occupied the entire screen.
