The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 60 Suzhou Embroidery, a masterpiece!
Qin Yichen signed his name with a flourish, put down the pen, and looked at Wen Chi: "If you have any questions about the publicity, you can contact Qin's Marketing Department. Qin's will also help you with the relevant review procedures."

Wen Chi stared wide-eyed at him, looking up at him blankly.

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Does Director Wen have any other requests?"

Wen Chi shook his head vigorously: "No more, no more..."

Over there, Li Zheng's people had already taken the measurements needed for all the actors' costumes.

Qin Yichen looked at Li Zheng, his nonchalant and frivolous demeanor quite eye-catching.

He took a few slow steps in that direction, smiled, and said, "President Li, we'll be colleagues from now on. How about we have a casual meal together?"

Li Zheng forced a smile: "Don't be a peacock spreading its tail feathers everywhere."

Qin Yichen shrugged, turned around and left.

The second young master of the Qin family is known for his playful nature in the elite circles of Beicheng, but no one took him seriously.

After Li Zheng finished packing, she took Feng Xiao's team and bid farewell to Wen Chi and the others.

When only the film crew remained on set.

For several seconds, no one dared to speak.

Song Mingkai spoke first, his eyes trembling as he looked at Wen Chi: "Director Wen, so our crew doesn't have to disband here and reshoot the costume photos in fifteen days? Feng Xiao's clothes, Qin's publicity, and the 500 million yuan funding?"

Even a top-tier celebrity like Xiao Yi wouldn't be qualified to act in such a big-budget film or television drama.

Wen Chi's throat was dry, and his back was soaked with sweat.

It turns out that people can get so nervous when they suddenly become rich.

He glanced at Jiang Li.

The woman's fox-like eyes narrowed dangerously, carrying a hint of warning.

Wen Chi abruptly averted his gaze, no longer daring to look at her.

He forced himself to calm down and said to everyone, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone. Some actors may never encounter such a good thing in their entire lives. So I have decided that everyone will join the crew for training in advance for the next two weeks. I will invite professional martial arts instructors to train everyone and strive to ensure that everyone appears on screen in the best possible condition."

The whole crowd cheered.

Song Mingkai looked at Wen Chi with emotion: "Director, it's fortunate that you are wise, upright and incorruptible, and chose Jiang Li, so that those two idiots didn't threaten us. Otherwise, how could our crew have such incredible luck!"

He immediately praised Wen Chi.

Wen Chi blushed with excitement for the first time.

Those who attacked Jiang Li earlier also apologized.

"Jiang Li, I'm so sorry."

"We really had no other choice. Everyone had worked so hard to get into the production crew and have roles to play, so..."

"I'm so sorry, Jiang Li."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, lazily crossed her arms, and smiled casually: "It's okay, I understand."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became more harmonious.

Wen Chi pulled Jiang Li aside, seemingly wanting to say something, but remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Li proactively stated, "I have no interest in the female lead of 'Like a Dream'."

When she brought it up, Wen Chi was completely stunned.

In fact, the new production team and funding for the film crew were all thanks to Jiang Li's connections.

He also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to cast Jiang Li as the second female lead.

However, the storyline of the second female lead is clearly more suitable for Jiang Li.

Wen Chi said, "Then I'll have the assistant director find a suitable female lead and finalize the decision as soon as possible."

Jiang Li paused for a second, then said seriously, "Director Wen, just treat me as an ordinary actor."

The implication is that you should make your own decisions about things like this and not bother her.

Wen Chi: "..."

Jiang Li's phone rang; a new message had arrived.

[What a spendthrift! Giving Shen Shu a golden phoenix dress and even having Feng Xiao make costumes for "Like a Dream" under the guise of investment—isn't that practically giving it away for free?]

Jiang Li casually scrolled through her phone: "I'm happy."

There seemed to be a pause on the other end, and a few seconds later a message came through: "Come over for dinner tonight."

Jiang Li: [I'm not going.]

The other party became relentless and persistent: "If you don't come, I'll go to your film set and wait for you."

Jiang Li: [Annoyed.]

Jiang Li looked up at Wen Chi: "Director, if there's nothing else today, I'll be leaving now."

Wen Chi nodded.

The assistant director watched Jiang Li leave with Xu Miao and then walked over to Wen Chi.

He couldn't help but ask, "With such strong connections, how did she manage to be so badly smeared in the entertainment industry?"

It's no exaggeration to say that anyone with Feng Xiao's connections would have already rushed to Zhongzhou International.

Why should we stay stuck in the shallow pool of Xia Kingdom?

Wen Chi said, "She's not the kind of person who likes to abuse her privileges."

His tone already carried a sense of respect.

……

In the car.

Jiang Li received a call from Cheng Sijun.

The latter was furious: "Damn! Do you know how big of a fuss this is online?!"

The names Feng Xiao and Qin Shi immediately went viral on social media!
Jiang Li nestled in her chair, her tone calm yet tinged with a hint of weariness: "I don't know."

Xu Miao, who was in the passenger seat, handed his phone directly to Jiang Li.

The phone screen is stuck on Weibo's trending topics.

The cast and crew of "Like a Dream" occupied half of the top ten trending topics on Weibo.

The first and second are the Qin Group and Feng Xiao.

#Qin's JQ Pictures' first investment project, "Like a Dream"#
#Feng Xiao's First TV Series Costume Design#
Qin's and Fengxiao's official Weibo accounts made a high-profile announcement of this collaboration.

It's extremely popular.

The comments section was very lively.

[This wave of energy is truly divine intervention!]

[Holy crap! How did Director Wen suddenly become so successful behind our backs?! He actually managed to get involved with the Qin family and Feng Xiao's powerful resources!]

What an amazing production team behind "Like a Dream"!

[Little Broken Order Ascends to Godhood!]

It's such a waste to use an actor like Jiang Li, who has a lot of scandals, in such a good production team.

[Can we replace Jiang Li? She doesn't deserve such a good match as Qin Shi, Feng Xiao, and Wen Chi.]

Jiang's reputation online is still not very good.

The person involved doesn't care.

After calming down a bit, Cheng Sijun said, "You were attacked so badly before, and your reputation can't be turned around overnight. I will pay close attention to public opinion."

Jiang Li hummed in agreement.

Cheng Sijun said, "There are two other Weibo posts that are also very popular, did you see them?"

Jiang Li saw it.

One of them is a marketing account from Fang Ziqing's side.

[Entertainment V: Looking forward to Fang Ziqing and Xiao Shu's "Like a Dream"]

The comments section under this Weibo post was filled with fans celebrating Fang Ziqing's connection to such a high-profile figure.

The second one is Fang Ziqing Studio.

[Fang Ziqing Studio V: It's a pity we can't continue acting in "Like a Dream"]

This Weibo post received tens of thousands of replies, a veritable storm of comments.

Fans in the comments section are questioning whether someone brought their own funding to get into the cast and squeezed out Fang Ziqing's position.

The studio replied that it was not.

But fans didn't believe it and started tearing each other apart, spreading conspiracy theories, thinking that Fang Ziqing was so good that she must have been forcibly replaced.

The studio is playing dead and refusing to speak.

Fans had been hyping it up for ages, saying Fang Ziqing would be starring in a big-budget production, only to be told that she wouldn't be in it.

This led to a collective breakdown, with people lashing out online at the perceived unfairness.

However, the internet was full of people laughing at the mad dog.

Without a doubt, Fang Ziqing and Fan Quan have both lost all face.

Jiang Li curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.

There are quite a few celebrities in the entertainment industry who are two-faced, and all the victims are their fans who genuinely love them.

On the other end of the phone.

Cheng Sijun sneered: "If you don't court death, you won't die."

Jiang Li didn't say anything.

“However,” Cheng Sijun suddenly became excited again, “I can understand Qin’s investment, but what’s going on with Fengxiao?! This brand is practically an unattainable god in my heart! How could it favor such a small film crew!” The nanny van stopped in front of Rong’s mansion.

Jiang Li picked at her ears, annoyed by the noise, and said lazily, "I have something to do, I'm hanging up."

She got out of the car and told Xu Miao and the driver to go back.

Butler Rong was waiting at the door.

Upon seeing her, he quickly descended the steps, his smile warm and friendly, and said gently, "Lili, it's been so long since you've come."

Jiang Li and his brother put their arms around the old man's shoulders like good friends: "Okay, we understand. We'll come to see you often in the future."

"You must keep your word." Butler Rong looked at her seriously.

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, saying casually, "You'll be annoyed to death by then."

Butler Rong was pleased.

The two entered the Rong residence through the gate.

We arrived at the main hall.

A huge embroidered landscape screen came into view.

The composition is magnificent, the brushstrokes are powerful, and the scenery is well-arranged, making it a priceless work of art.

This is Rong Xiu's masterpiece, the "Queen of Suzhou Embroidery".

In the best-lit spot by the window, there were several extremely expensive rosewood embroidery frames.

Rong Xiu wore frameless glasses and a dark blue jacket, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament, as if she had stepped out of an ancient painting.

She sat in front of the embroidery frame, her needlework delicate and skillful.

Jiang Li tossed the black backpack to Butler Rong, took off her mask and baseball cap, revealing her bright and clean features.

She walked over to the sofa, sat down, and crossed her legs.

Indulgent yet lazy.

Butler Rong poured her a cup of tea and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and see when dinner will be ready."

Rong Xiu changed her needle and thread, and the outline of an embroidery of a mythical creature, the Qilin, began to take shape.

Without looking up, she said, "Someone from the Beicheng Embroidery Museum has already asked if we can sell the costumes from 'Like a Dream' to their museum after filming is finished."

Jiang Li, bored, scrolled through Weibo on her phone: "After filming, do whatever you want."

Rong Xiu said, "The International Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum on Wumeng Avenue also inquired, and their asking price wasn't low."

Jiang Li propped his face up, took a sip of tea, and smiled faintly: "Selling to Zhongzhou is fine, but have them label it clearly as Xia Kingdom embroidery, Xia Kingdom intangible cultural heritage. Don't let any trashy brand come and try to piggyback on Xia Kingdom's culture, and then turn around and accuse the Xia people."

Aren't many of the world's top luxury brands in Central Asia already drawing heavily from traditional Chinese art?
Rong Xiu was somewhat dazed after hearing her long speech.

She looked up at her for two seconds and couldn't help but laugh.

Then he called her, "Come here and take a look at this kylin embroidery."

Jiang Li put down her teacup, got up, and walked over.

Rong Xiu opened the fixed position of the embroidery frame, rotated the stretcher, and slowly unfolded the expensive fabric, revealing the full appearance of the Qilin auspicious beast embroidery.

Double-sided embroidery.

The needlework is exquisite and unparalleled, the skill is superb, capturing both form and spirit, and the colors are varied and captivating.

Using needle and thread instead of ink, the works are lifelike.

Jiang Li glanced at him and uttered three words: "A bit gentle."

Rong Xiu turned to look at her.

Jiang Li tore off a large piece of fabric and picked up a light red paintbrush to draw on it.

Those who are good at embroidery are also good at painting.

Rong Xiu stood up and watched as she sketched the outline of a qilin with a single stroke. It was a pose of raising its head and neighing, with its front hooves suspended in mid-air, full of vigor, pride and nobility.

Rong Xiu watched as she added auspicious clouds under the hind hooves of the Qilin, and then drew the outline of flames around the Qilin.

The fire-breathing unicorn rides on auspicious clouds, dispelling all difficulties.

A clear look of amazement and admiration appeared in Rong Xiu's eyes.

The simple drawing, with just a few strokes, exudes a noble charm that is impossible to look away from.

The auspicious beast of the Xia Kingdom is upright and proud, powerful and unyielding, just like the country itself.

Rong Xiu could almost imagine the sensation that would be caused if this picture were embroidered.

Compared to Jiang Li's picture, mine is indeed a bit softer.

Jiang put down her pen.

The next second, Rong Xiu put away the cloth from which she had drawn the picture.

Jiang Li narrowed his fox-like eyes: "Master Rong, now you just snatch whatever you want?"

Rong Xiu remained unfazed: "If you don't want to become my disciple, fine, but you can't even give me something?"

Jiang Li clicked his tongue: "Fine, it's yours."

Rong Xiu was satisfied and said, "You can embroider the design you drew. Come to my place every night after the crew gets off work."

Jiang Li smiled slyly with her fox-like eyes: "You might as well kill me."

Working on a film set during the day and then coming here to embroider at night?

She only has one life.

Jiang Li walked back to the sofa and sat down.

Rong Xiu took off her glasses and walked over as well.

Her gaze fell on Jiang Li's slender, pale hands: "Tell me honestly, how long has it been since you last touched a needle?"

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly, then lazily nestled on the sofa, pondering casually, "More than a year?"

"More than a year?!" Rong Xiu's expression changed instantly, and she sat up straight.

She pondered seriously how to make up for Jiang Li's absence during this period.

Rong Xiu slapped the armrest of the sofa: "You have to stay here this afternoon and practice for three... no! Five hours!"

I haven't touched it in so long, I don't even know how rusty I've become!

No matter how talented you are, you can't neglect practice!

Jiang Li: "..."

……

Chu Mansion.

The restaurant was unusually quiet.

The power represented by the Qin family and Fengxiao is something Chu Chengzhang can never reach in his lifetime.

But now Jiang Li has come into contact with him.

Chu Chengzhang asked around.

It was Qin Yichen, the second young master of the Qin family, and Feng Xiao's director who personally went to the filming location of "Like a Dream" to discuss cooperation with Wen Chi.

Looking across the entire northern part of the city.

Even the four major families were not qualified to have Director Fengxiao personally pay a visit.

How lucky Jiang Li is to have gotten into a film crew jointly invested in by the Qin family and Feng Xiao!
Chu Chengzhang was somewhat lost in thought.

Suddenly, he remembered the lawyer representing Jiang Li when he transferred the shares to Jiang Li.

Chang Gengming is the leading figure in the legal profession in Beicheng.

A guess popped into his mind, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The next second, he immediately rejected this guess.

impossible.

If Jiang Li really has such powerful connections, why doesn't she become the female lead in a big-budget film production herself?

It must be that the Qin family and Feng Xiao have joined forces to promote the newcomer.

There is still no news about who the female lead is in the drama "Like a Dream".

The possibility of coming into contact with Feng Xiao and the Qin family is already an extremely rare opportunity.

I wish Chu Yan had joined the cast of "Like a Dream"!

Yan Wei took a sip of soup, her mouth tasted bitter, and she felt a burning sensation in her stomach.

No one knows how she's been getting through these days.

The entire internet is condemning her as a mistress and calling her son and daughter illegitimate children.

Those wealthy ladies were all laughing at her behind her back.

These are all made from ginger!

Yan Wei grew angrier the more she thought about it: "She ruined Yan Yan to this extent, with the whole internet mocking and cyberbullying her, yet she herself got involved with the production team invested in by Qin's and Feng Xiao. With her looks, what right does she have to stay in such a good production team!"

Chu Yan has suspended all her activities due to online criticism and has been staying at home recently.

His emotions were already volatile.

Hearing that, I lost my appetite.

She pursed her lips, slammed her chopsticks on the table, stood up, and left.

"Yan Yan, you're not eating again..." Yan Wei called out to her anxiously.

Thank you for your support.
