CHAPTER 59: THREAD

Ye Feimo, on the other hand, couldn’t help but chuckle whenever he thought of the way she had just puffed out her chest. It was truly amusing.

Wen Nuan turned her face away indignantly. Laugh, laugh, laugh until you die of laughter! But why was she even comparing their figures with him here? It was so pointless.

"You don’t need to get breast augmentation either. I don’t like touching a bag of silicone."

"Get lost!" Wen Nuan’s face flushed. She turned back to glare at him, just as the traffic light changed. Ye Feimo started driving.

Young Master Ye asked with a smile, "You really don’t know the idiom ’big breasts, no brains’?"

Wen Nuan said with a sweet smile, "That’s why I said, Han Bi is more brainless."

Ye Feimo: "..."

He finally understood what it meant to play dumb. This damn girl was too adorable.

Wen Nuan was still quite bothered by the figure issue. Then she had a thought. "Although Han Bi is prettier than me and has a better figure, I’m younger than her."

"Why do you have to compare yourself to Han Bi?"

"..." Wen Nuan was taken aback. Oh right, why did she have to compare herself to Han Bi? Wen Nuan thought for a moment. "I’m just not convinced! That day they kept calling me little Han Bi, little Han Bi, and it really annoyed me. Little my butt Han Bi! I don’t look anything like her, okay? The director on set even said that I’m now taking the same pure and innocent route that Han Bi used to take, that I’m copying Han Bi, imitating her movements and expressions. I was really unhappy to hear that. Sister Xiaojing said that Han Bi was also someone she managed in the beginning, and our styles are indeed a bit similar, but always being tied to her makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Ye Feimo glanced at her. That’s how the entertainment industry was. Once someone became famous, if another person came along who looked somewhat similar, they would always be called little XX. A pure girl like Wen Nuan, an artist with her own performing style, definitely wouldn’t like being compared to others.

However...

"Miss Wen, being compared to Han Bi, a newcomer like you, don’t you think it’s to your advantage?" Ye Feimo said calmly.

"Are you saying I should be grateful?"

"So you can turn into a little hedgehog too," Ye Feimo said coolly.

Wen Nuan was so angry she didn’t want to pay him any attention. So in Ye Feimo’s heart, she and Han Bi were like heaven and earth, two women on completely different levels. Wen Nuan felt a little hurt.

Ye Feimo was always so direct, making her feel embarrassed. What was hateful was that what he said was the truth. Comparing her, a newcomer, to Han Bi was indeed elevating her. She should have smiled and said to those people, "Oh my, thank you so much for thinking so highly of me."

Wen Nuan slapped her forehead. Oh no, she had initially brought up Han Bi to dig out gossip about her and Ye Feimo, but somehow the conversation had gone off track. They had talked about figure issues and the "little Han Bi" issue, but they hadn’t talked about their gossip at all.

Wen Nuan, you’ve been led by the nose by Ye Feimo again.

"Ye Feimo, you seem quite familiar with Han Bi."

"She used to be an artist under Anning International, but later she set up her own studio," Ye Feimo said matter-of-factly.

Wen Nuan thought to herself, she’s your ex-lover, right? Anning International is so big, the entertainment division is just a part of it. Would he be so free as to be good friends with all the artists under his company?

"Then... why did she look for you just now?" Wen Nuan asked. Women were all gossipy, especially about the people around them. Some time ago, the gossip about Han Bi and a Hollywood director was very hot, and then she was rumored to be close to the CEO of a certain media group. The cover photos in the gossip magazines were very clear, showing them holding hands and being very intimate.

Could Ye Feimo tolerate such a thing?

"Why should I tell you?" Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow and looked at her. Wen Nuan pouted. Ye Feimo thought for a moment and said, "The company is preparing for ’Liang Hongyu,’ and Han Bi is interested in starring in it."

"Liang Hongyu? Oh, isn’t that Teacher Wang’s work? A female hero!"

"You know about it?"

"Of course I know. Teacher Cheng used this novel as a case study in class," Wen Nuan said. "If Han Bi plays the lead, the box office will definitely be a huge success."

Ye Feimo glanced at her sideways. Wen Nuan’s smile was guileless. She had just been unhappy about being called little Han Bi, but now she was saying that if Han Bi starred in this blockbuster, it would be a big hit.

This girl was really...

This little white rabbit, if he didn’t protect her, would probably run into walls everywhere in this entertainment industry, getting her head bloodied.

The cast of "Pure Lotus Princess" had all been finalized, and Hairun Culture Media and Chaoyang Film and Television Production Company had done a simple promotion. Wen Nuan had been reading the script and memorizing lines these past few days, very diligently.

This time, the main leads of "Pure Lotus Princess" were the focus of attention for major newspapers. They were all actors with solid acting skills, and taking on the main roles this time had garnered much attention. Wen Nuan wasn’t bad either. Her most talked-about identity was having starred in Zhang Yi’s main MV, where her image as a sexy goddess was completely inconsistent with the pure and noble image of Princess Xiangxiang. Wen Nuan took a look around Tianya forum. The filming of "Pure Lotus Princess" was highly anticipated, and threads had long been opened. She finally found her own thread among a pile of posts about the main leads.

The promotional photos hadn’t been released yet. The online screenshots were from the MV, showing her wearing a black tight-fitting dress, black stockings, smoky makeup, and performing a seductive dance. These screenshots were compared with screenshots from the old version of "Pure Lotus Princess."

The comments below said:

Oh my god, this is the actress playing Princess Xiangxiang? Where did this monster come from?

Princess Xiangxiang, how can you bear this?

Princess Xiangxiang, you’re doomed.

...

Definitely a woman who got the role through unspoken rules. Looking like this and still playing Princess Xiangxiang.

The truth is upstairs.

The comment above the one above is brilliant.

...

I’ve seen the advertisement she filmed. She’s actually quite good-looking. Looking forward to it.

Remakes are always a big tragedy.

SARFT, please have mercy and leave the classics alone. Cut, cut, SARFT, do you really like being poked so much?

...

The old version of Princess Xiangxiang was a fairy, the new version is a demon, definitely a demon.

...

Wen Nuan teared up.

Looking at the overwhelming criticism on Tianya, she figured she didn’t even need to look at Mop. It would definitely be the same overwhelming criticism. The only comforting thing was that the attention on her, Princess Xiangxiang, wasn’t as high as the attention on Princess Qinglian. That actress was being criticized even more miserably. Wen Nuan smiled sweetly and excitedly clicked on a thread criticizing Zhuo Bingbing, the actress playing Princess Qinglian.

She felt balanced.

Ye Feimo shook his head, looking at Wen Nuan’s perverse pleasure. This girl was indeed quite tragic.
