CHAPTER 486: CHAPTER 477: ACTRESS 44

Regarding Shuangshuang’s state, Fang Jian was both excited and worried. Excited because Shuangshuang’s condition would definitely turn these two roles into classics, surpassing all actresses to become a textbook example of cross-gender acting. Worried, like Jin An, that Shuangshuang was so deeply immersed in her roles that she might not be able to come out of them after filming.

Although Fang Jian only collaborated with Shuangshuang on one film, he greatly admired her hardworking personality.

Regardless of whether Fang Jian and Jin An were worried or happy about Shuangshuang’s state, they could only let things be as they were for now.

Everyone else in the crew had already taken their costume photos. Since Shuangshuang was previously obsessed with figuring out how to play Lian Mushi well, Fang Jian and Li Bo’an didn’t notify her about the photoshoot to avoid disturbing her. They planned to let her catch up with the photos once she had time.

Since the rest of the cast had already done their photos, the makeup artist, stylist, and photographer only needed to focus on Shuangshuang, making it naturally faster. With four looks and styles, Shuangshuang finished in a day.

After the costume photos were taken, they were instantly uploaded online, naturally sparking a new wave of fangirling, especially among Shuangshuang’s fangirls. They held onto the printed photos where Shuangshuang was dressed in men’s clothing, looking very elegant without any feminine or discordant vibes; the discussions went crazy!

"Wow, is this really my Brother Ning? Although I always called him Brother Ning, I never expected Brother Ning to look so manly in men’s clothes!"

"Gentleman amidst a turbulent world, graceful young traveler! Forgive me, my first reaction upon seeing this photo was just that. Brother Ning looks so much like a man! Like an aristocratic young master from that era who traveled through time to modern days. It’s so classy and handsome!"

"Looking at this photo, I inexplicably feel that Shuangshuang really has a twin brother who looks the same, yet is dashing and refined."

"A major discovery! Shuangshuang once worked at our company, and it was as a man! The entire company never noticed that Shuangshuang was right beside us for so long! To assure you that I’m not imagining things, there’s photo evidence below, come verify their authenticity!"

Amid this uproar of discussion, an unexpected photo comment appeared, leaving everyone stunned, and a big group of fans, driven by curiosity, clicked to see the photos in the comments.

It was a selfie from a company employee, taken during a staff gathering. In the photo, a man highlighted with a red circle who was tidying the table was Shuangshuang! Although the appearance was somewhat masculine, it was undoubtedly Shuangshuang’s face!

Immediately, the person with the revelation posted a series of photos—all selfies or shots taken of others, with Shuangshuang marked in noticeable red whenever present. After posting the photos, there soon followed a long string of comments from a man.

"When Shuangshuang came to work at our company, she dressed entirely in men’s clothing. Except for being a bit short and initially a bit effeminate, she looked like a man in every way. Even though we also thought Xiao Ning looked a lot like the celebrity Shuangshuang, Xiao Ning was a man, so we never thought in that direction!!!"

The speaker added a long string of exclamation marks to convey his shock!

"Wow, what happened here? Can you explain in detail? I’m dying of curiosity; did Brother Ning really work at your company for a month? And under the guise of a man? This is just too incredible!"

"What I said is true, with photos to prove it. When Xiao Ning came to the company, she was parachuted in and held a high-paying, easy job of managing files. Many people in our office discussed it at the time. Later, whenever everyone was busy, Xiao Ning would help, and that’s how we got along well with Xiao Ning. When she first arrived, she was a bit effeminate, but that disappeared later. We even said our company grooms people; when Xiao Ning came in, she was a bit of a sissy, but then turned into a tough guy. After finishing a month, Xiao Ning left. If I hadn’t seen the costume photo of the celebrity Shuangshuang today, I wouldn’t have recognized the diligent and capable young guy in our company was actually a girl, and a celebrity at that. This is a modern version of a woman disguised as a man! I never thought that cross-dressing without being noticed was possible!!"

After posting the comment, this person added another long string of exclamation marks to express his shock, and soon a crowd began discussing under the man’s comment.

"It’s quite clear now; Brother Ning’s new film has her playing two roles, one male, one female. To play the male role well, Brother Ning used a bold move to experience a man’s way of life by working as one. No wonder she’s my idol, so serious and hardworking!"

"Honestly, I wasn’t drawn to Shuangshuang initially, but I must say, this time she’s won me over—not with her acting, or her beauty, but her dedication!"

"Honestly, I’ve been contemplating taking the graduate exam lately, causing me significant stress and a bad mood. The pressure is huge, and I’m a bit scared. Yet without it, given the oversupply of graduates, it’s hard to find a job. But after seeing Shuangshuang’s dedication today, I’ve decided. I’m definitely going for the graduate exam. Shuangshuang is already a top star, with enough fame. She doesn’t have to work so hard, yet she does for a role. She’s already accomplished and still works tirelessly. How can I complain about my struggles?"

"I’ve also been won over by Shuangshuang’s hard work and dedication! I’m proud to be a fan of such an idol. I can tell my mom that my idol is so dedicated, and being her fan means learning from her."

External netizens and Shuangshuang’s fans had no idea that the storm stirred by a single costume photo. Shuangshuang herself had already entered the set to begin filming Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

To her surprise, upon entering the set, Shuangshuang discovered that the actress playing the female lead Lian Qianqian was an old acquaintance, Bai Qiao Xin!

Compared to when Shuangshuang last saw Bai Qiao Xin wearing nothing fancy, now Bai Qiao Xin was clad in branded fashion, all exquisite and high-end.

Just by eyeing it, Shuangshuang gauged that Bai Qiao Xin’s current outfit, bag, and accessories were worth tens of thousands! Just standing there, she was a capital text for luxury!

Shuangshuang felt nothing particularly about Bai Qiao Xin having money. For a beautiful woman, getting rich overnight was simple, with many men willing to lavishly spend for a beauty, unless the beauty was past her prime.
