I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 572 Are you Ning Yu? (5200 views, remember to claim the God's Light)
Seeing Chen Xiaoyun leave somewhat disheveled, Repa's face showed a hint of pity.

"Pity her? I'd be lucky if I didn't pressure the production team to remove her role and replace her."

"She was just a country girl to begin with, and now she thinks she can become an empress just because she got a makeover? How ridiculous."

Da Mimi glanced at Repa, then half-reclined on the sofa, crunching away on potato chips. Her slender, straight legs were crossed, glistening white under the light.

Repa sighed softly. In the past two years in the entertainment industry, she had seen and encountered too many similar things. Da Mimi's handling was indeed relatively mild. She just thought of how humble she was when she was a complete newcomer after seeing Chen Xiaoyun.

She has a rather passive personality and won't take the initiative like Chen Xiaoyun, but she can understand the feelings of a new actor who wants to make a name for themselves.

She didn't intend to speak up for Chen Xiaoyun; she was just feeling a bit sentimental.

"Honey, you're still eating potato chips so late?"

Repa blinked, glanced at the Tyrrell's potato chips in Da Mimi's hand, and changed the subject.

"And this brand's food is all deep-fried, so it's too high in calories."

As he spoke, Repa also felt a little strange.

Honey ate quite a lot today because everyone needs to control their weight. The others mostly ate vegetables, and only ate a few bites of lamb, without dipping it in much sesame sauce.

Only Da Mimi and Fang Yu kept piling meat onto their plates. Fang Yu was fine, as he always had a big appetite.

But even Da Mimi felt that she might have eaten more than a pound of mutton, which is a bit too abnormal.

Da Mimi swung her legs, munching on potato chips while scrolling through her phone: "I need to gain weight now."

Gain weight?

Repa looked on incredulously.

I never imagined that the words "gain weight" would come out of Da Mimi's mouth.

This is Yang Mi, the most self-disciplined female celebrity I've ever met.

She'd rather starve herself than weigh more than 95 pounds!

"Honey, are you going to play Yang Guifei?"

Repa blinked her big, innocent eyes, looking completely bewildered.

Da Mimi put down her phone and scanned the hot topic from head to toe, making the hot topic feel uneasy.

“You also need to gain weight. With your height, you need to gain at least 98 pounds.”

Hot topic: ? ? ? ? ? ?

I need to gain weight? What kind of weight gain?

Last month, didn't you have your agent weigh me every day, and if I weigh more than 46 kilograms, you'd fine me 1000 per gram?
Why are you making me gain weight again? Don't try to find fault and deduct money from my pay again.

I only get 20% of the profits, and that's after deducting costs. Honey, don't mess with me.

“Times have changed,” said Da Mimi Jia Ziyin. “Before long, holographic photography will dominate the world.”

Holographic filming? Repa continued to blink ignorantly.

What does this have to do with anything?
"We now need to be thinner than the average person to counteract the perspective effect of the camera's focal length and the stretching of the 16:9 widescreen format, so that we look like we have a normal body shape in front of the camera."

“But after the holographic filming, we are too thin now. Based on your height, you need to gain weight to at least 98 pounds so that you don’t look skin and bones under the holographic image.”

“Under holography, what viewers or players see is the same as in reality, so being a little fatter than we are now would be more in line with the aesthetics of the holographic era.”

"This weight is acceptable in front of the current cameras; it doesn't make you look too fat."

After saying that, Da Mimi continued eating her potato chips.

After listening, Repa looked on with admiration.

As expected of my dear sister, she's scheming to the core.

But the problem is, why does it always smell like vinegar in the air? Did Honey put vinegar in her dipping sauce just now?

Da Mimi's fox-like eyes darted around, filled with resentment.

Since breaking through, my calorie needs have increased significantly. I don't eat much, and my weight is dropping rapidly. As my weight drops, my belly also drops.

Last time he actually said that I and the hot pot were uncomfortable, humph!
Liu Feifei doesn't feel uncomfortable, right? Chen Xiaoyun doesn't feel uncomfortable, right? Your bear girlfriend doesn't feel uncomfortable, right?

I'm determined to get my revenge!

Click!

Da Mimi took a vicious bite of the potato chip.
-
The streetlights at Yunqi Yuejing were indeed not bright enough, and the melted snow had formed a thin layer of ice on some of the uneven road surfaces.

"what!"

Chen Xiaoyun, who had just left Da Mimi's residence, was both shocked and furious. She walked as if she were slamming the ground, and by sheer bad luck, she stepped right on a dent in the ice.

He slipped and fell hard on his backside, getting covered in snow and mud all over his body and buttocks.

Road 23A is close to the gate of the villa area, and because of this, all cars pass through here, so after a snowfall, this section of the road is the dirtiest due to the traffic.

"So you're going against me too!?"

"What a terrible road! What terrible weather! It started snowing just like that!"

Tears welled up in Chen Xiaoyun's eyes, and she angrily slammed her fist on the ground.

She's actually not much younger than Yang Mi, and she's been in the industry for quite a while, already seven years.

For the past seven years, apart from getting plastic surgery, hooking up with a new director in the entertainment industry, and playing a minor role as a stepmother in a farewell drama that had some impact, she has basically been playing minor roles in various TV dramas.

Oh, she even acted alongside a third-rate actress, playing a scheming and manipulative supporting female character.

She has always been very self-confident, believing that after plastic surgery, she is now a top-tier actress in terms of appearance, figure, and acting skills; all she lacks is an opportunity.

Opportunities to acquire resources.

But today I was humiliated like this!
Don't underestimate a young girl's potential! Honey! You'll pay for this sooner or later!

Strangely enough, it was Fang Yu who humiliated her, but the person she hated most was Da Mimi who gave her the final warning.

It wasn't that she was captivated or frightened by Fang Yu, but rather it was a natural human psychology.

For example, some people are beaten up by school bullies, but they don't get angry at the bullies. Instead, they are indignant at the people around them who are watching and cheering.

"Xiaoyun! Are you alright?"

Under the streetlights, a long shadow swayed and approached quickly. A tall, thin boy ran over, panting, and reached out to help Chen Xiaoyun up.

"Snapped!"

Chen Xiaotong slapped the boy's hand away and stood up.

The boy was slightly taken aback. What was going on? Hadn't they been getting along well these past two days?

Little did he know that some girls, when seen in an embarrassing situation, will not thank the person who helped them; instead, they will harbor resentment towards that person.

But if you pretend not to see it and don't help her, she will still hold a grudge and say, "What kind of man doesn't even help a girl who has fallen down?"

What they want is for you to take the blame for their embarrassing situation.

For example, "It must have been me who startled you by suddenly making a sound. It's all my fault."

Then do everything you can to help them.

This is the emotional value they seek.

"How did you come?"

With a stern face, Chen Xiaoyun took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped the mud off her clothes.

The boy was very tall, about the same height as Fang Yu, and had single eyelids, but his eyes were not small.

“I was just chatting with Ranran and the others on WeChat. They said they’ve already returned from Sister Mi’s house. I noticed you weren’t back yet, so I sent you a WeChat message but you didn’t reply, and I called you but you didn’t answer. I was worried something had happened to you, so I came out to look for you.”

The boy's single-eyelid eyes gazed intently at Chen Xiaoyun, filled with tender affection.

"worry about me?"

Chen Xiaoyun was already in a bad mood, but she still kept a straight face: "Yu Xiaotong, what is our relationship? Why are you worried about me?"

Yu Xiaotong was taken aback upon hearing this.

What's wrong? Did they eat gunpowder?

We've been getting along really well these past few days, so why are you suddenly saying things like this to me?

"Judging by the time, you should be calling your girlfriend to check up on her, right? What do you want from me?"

Chen Xiaoyun was filled with resentment. After changing the wet wipe again but still not getting it clean, she threw the wet wipe on the ground and walked away.

But these words made Yu Xiaotong suddenly understand—

So she was jealous!

"We're at least friends, right?"

Yu Xiaotong followed behind Chen Xiaoyun and shouted something.

friend?

Ah.

Chen Xiaoyun sneered inwardly.

Isn't he just trying to fire me? He's afraid his girlfriend will find out, he wants to eat me but is afraid of burning himself, what a joke.

She and Yu Xiaotong met two weeks ago on the set of the Taihuangshan Haijie film crew. They happened to be assigned to adjacent rows of buildings, which were like male and female dormitories, housing five or six new actors on each side.

When Yu Xiaotong first saw Chen Xiaoyun on set, she was dazzled.

He was a year older than Fang Yu and liked girls older than him. Chen Xiaoyun had the body of a woman among women, and although her face resembled Lu Han, it didn't matter.

That would be even more exciting.

Because they used shooting techniques completely different from those in the industry, only people from Yugo Games and Yuzi Technology were capable of operating the equipment. The Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm crew was one of the few who worked 9 to 5, which was the same as the working hours of Yugo Games.

So, after work that day, Yu Xiaotong suggested a get-together between his dorm and the girls' dorm next door, and that's how the two of them started having an ambiguous relationship. He already had a girlfriend who was almost ten years older than him, and they had been dating for two years. They were just starting to get into a lull in their relationship, but after seeing Chen Xiaoyun, Yu Xiaotong's thoughts started to stir.

Chen Xiaoyun also had a bit of a crush on Yu Xiaotong, after all, he was now one of the more promising young actors, heavily promoted by his company, and his status and development in the industry were much better than hers.

Of course, most importantly, she was aroused.

She likes things that are tall and big.

Yes, it's tall and big.

Although there is no typical relationship between tall and large, psychologically, it always feels like a direct proportional relationship.

Da Mimi didn't invite Yu Xiaotong to today's dinner party, mainly because Yu Xiaotong was brought in by Director Chen and Tian Hong.

Yu Xiaotong had previously acted in Director Chen's "Master Mei". When casting for "Taihuang Mountain and Sea", Director Chen and Tian Hong initially wanted to promote their own son, but because Chen Xiangkong's acting skills did not pass the AI ​​audition, they changed their choice to Yu Xiaotong.

Yu Xiaotong may be a bit silly, but his acting skills are indeed quite good among the younger generation. He successfully passed the AI ​​audition and played a young NPC from the "Fengbo Clan" in the Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm.

Normally, Chen Xiaoyun would have already resorted to her manipulative tactics, but today, having suffered repeated setbacks, she had no intention of trying to seduce Yu Xiaotong anymore.

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, walk slowly, or you'll fall again."

"Xiaoyun, why don't you come over to our place for a bit? Tan Baiyu ordered beer and fried chicken for delivery, let's have some together."

"Xiaoyun..."

"Xiaoyun..."

Hearing Yu Xiaotong chattering behind her, Chen Xiaoyun was extremely annoyed and wanted to turn around and slap him, but she felt a little ashamed, so she simply walked along the sidewalk in the green belt where the streetlights couldn't reach.

Just then, a beam of light shone from the intersection to their right, followed by the soft rustling sound of tires rolling over the wet pavement.

As Chen Xiaoyun looked up, she saw a G500 turn right from the side road in front of her and slowly exit the gate of the community. However, after only a few steps, it stopped on the side of the road in the community.

Huh? Who's that guy in the car?
The passenger in the next seat is...

Liu Feifei?
Chen Xiaoyun has excellent eyesight and the car wasn't going fast, so she spotted Fang Yu and Liu Feifei inside the car at a glance.

Chen Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. She took a few steps forward along the green belt and stared intently at the two people inside the windshield through the iron fence of the courtyard wall.

Liu Feifei is actually being so proactive!!!
Chen Xiaoyun immediately became excited.

No wonder Yang Mi's face was as black as a shoe sole just now; she was cheated on in front of everyone.

Can't control his little lover, so he takes it out on me?

What's so great about that?

As I guessed, this guy is the "resource" behind Liu Feifei and Da Mimi!
Chen Xiaoyun secretly took out her phone; whether from excitement or nervousness, her hands were trembling.

Just as I was about to take a picture, I heard Yu Xiaotong speak again behind me.

"Xiaoyun, what are you doing, Xiaoyun?"

Chen Xiaoyun shuddered, and almost dropped her phone.

"Shut up!"

Chen Xiaoyun, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and shouted angrily, leaving Yu Xiaotong stunned.

Chen Xiaoyun's fingers trembled as she tapped the camera. When she looked up again, she saw that the G500 had already started and sped away for dozens of meters.

Dry!
Chen Xiaoyun stomped her foot angrily, splashing snow and mud all over her pants.

She didn't know what use the photos would be or how to use them, but taking them was better than not taking them at all. As for how to use them, she could consider that later.

"Chen Xiaoyun, don't you think you've gone too far? I came to you out of kindness, and this is how you treat me?"

Yu Xiaotong was a spoiled brat who would be easily appeased. Although he had no idea what had happened, Chen Xiaoyun's "Shut up" had immediately ignited his anger.

He himself was also vaguely puzzled as to why he felt so uncomfortable.

Because your sixth sense told you that Chen Xiaoyun doesn't think much of you, silly child.

Although Chen Xiaoyun only said those two words, the genuine emotions contained within them were enough for a sensitive person to immediately sense the disrespect.

Yes, it's disrespectful.

Aside from the dragon turtle, many men can accept a woman being lazy and gluttonous, but they absolutely cannot accept a woman being lazy and gluttonous while also looking down on them.

Men are very sensitive to the contempt shown to them by family members, but they are much less bothered by contempt shown to them by people outside the family.

Women, on the other hand, may be submissive at home, but they care a great deal about whether outsiders respect them. In front of strangers and in social settings, "decency" almost trumps everything else.

"Even if we're just ordinary friends, wouldn't someone who's worried about your safety in this cold weather and in the middle of the night at least say thank you?"

Yu Xiaotong's voice grew louder and louder.

Chen Xiaoyun kept a cold face, thinking to herself, "Did I ask you to come out and find me?"

Chen Xiaoyun was about to leave, feeling upset, when she looked up and saw Yu Xiaotong's angry face, and suddenly an idea struck her.

Maybe this idiot can be of some use?
"Fine, since you don't consider me a friend, I guess I was just being presumptuous!"

Yu Xiaotong was even angrier when she saw Chen Xiaoyun staring at her blankly without saying a word. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she saw two lines of clear tears slide down Chen Xiaoyun's cheeks.

She could cry on cue, her expressions were genuine and touching, and her acting skills definitely surpassed those of Yang Mi and Liu Feifei.

Yu Xiaotong's heart softened immediately, and with that softened heart came a softened attitude.

"Xiaoyun, don't cry... Um, that's not what I meant..."

"Please don't cry, okay?"

"I thought you were... Sigh! It was my fault, okay?"

Yu Xiaotong frantically comforted Chen Xiaoyun, rummaging through her pockets but finding no tissues or anything, and anxiously wrung her hands.

"It's not your fault." Chen Xiaoyun shook her head, sobbing, then looked up at the sky, her expression showing a struggle to hold back her tears.

"It's my own problem. As a minor actor, I deserve to be bullied."

Being bullied?

Yu Xiaotong instantly grasped the key words.

"Who bullied you!?" Yu Xiaotong, a child star who had been in the industry for ten years, instantly imagined more than a dozen different scenarios and nervously grabbed Chen Xiaoyun's shoulder.

Chen Xiaoyun closed her eyes and shook her head, her expression one of heart-wrenching pain.

"Tell me! Who bullied you!?" Yu Xiaotong eagerly looked Chen Xiaoyun up and down, trying to find some clues.

"Tell me! Who bullied you?"

Yu Xiaotong was furious, her eyes turning red.

Seeing that the time was right, Chen Xiaoyun shook her head and said in a heavily nasal voice, "I don't know him either, but I think I've seen him on set..."

"Is he from the film crew?" Yu Xiaotong roared. "I'm going to find Director Chen right now! This kind of person must be removed from the crew!"

After saying that, Yu Xiaotong turned around and walked away, taking only two or three meters in two steps.

"Xiao Tong! Come back! I don't even know who he is, what good will it do you to find Director Chen?! Can you please not be so impulsive?!"

Chen Xiaoyun quickly stopped her.

Are you kidding me? If you go to Director Chen, how am I supposed to proceed?

"I acted impulsively!? I did this for you..."

Yu Xiaotong exploded again instantly.

“I know you’re doing this for me, but have you thought about it? We have no evidence, we don’t even know who it is, all we know is that it’s Yang Mi’s friend, and Yang Mi is protecting her. How are you going to explain this to Director Chen? If we just go there like this, what will he think of you? What will happen to your future? I don’t want you to do this for me…”

As she spoke, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks again.

It turns out it was for me...

I am indeed very important to her.

Yu Xiaotong immediately softened again; not only did she soften, but she also felt a warm and sweet sensation in her heart.

But is this person a friend of Yang Mi?

Honey?
Yu Xiaotong slammed her fist on the courtyard wall, her expression indignant.

"Since he's from the film crew, when you go to work tomorrow, point out to me who he is."

Yu Xiaotong exudes an aura of dominance.

"I'm going to make sure he can't stay on this set for even a single day!"
-
Hanning Mansion.

From the studio on the first floor, various sounds unrelated to work could be heard.

Liu Feifei's figure is not perfect; from a practical standpoint, Chen Xiaoyun's figure is indeed better.

But Liu Feifei's "quality" is indeed unmatched by others.

This texture goes beyond the simple question of whether skin is good or bad, or the simplistic categories of bears like Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

It's a "high-level" overall feeling.

Moreover, Liu Feifei is acting a bit too strange today.

In the past, when Liu Feifei was with Fang Yu, she was alluring and coquettish.

But today, it's a clumsy and awkward endeavor.

A kind of dedication that seems to want to integrate life into communication.

However, this kind of investment was very awkward, both in terms of movements and rhythm.

"Are you Ning Yu?" Fang Yu touched Liu Feifei's sweaty, flushed face.

"Shh, don't talk... um..."
