Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1332 - 1321: Siblings

"Am I seeing things, or has the Four Siblings Entertainment account been hacked? Yu Zhijing is actually the female lead of ’Ascension’?"

"I’m suspecting a hack too. Is today really not April Fool’s Day?"

"Are they trolling the fans? How could it be Yu Zhijing?"

"I logged out and back in twice to check and confirm it’s Yu Zhijing, and Mr. Duan even personally reposted it. Someone wake me up, or maybe wake up Mr. Duan. This is the biggest investment of the year! And they picked the lead actress so carelessly?"

"Just a passerby, but can I ask what’s wrong with Yu Zhijing? Isn’t she quite good?"

"Good? Besides matching the female lead in age at the beginning, what’s good about her? Plus, the female lead grows throughout the story. Can Yu Zhijing handle that? I don’t want my favorite novel adaptation to turn into a mess."

"Yu Zhijing’s acting isn’t as bad as you all say, right?"

"Um... How to put it? Her acting is a bit better than her peers, but playing the same type of roles every time doesn’t exactly make her stand out. To be honest, she’s been in the spotlight too much these past few years as a student and minor, and the series she’s starred in are truly hard to defend."

"If it weren’t for her looks holding up, I would’ve started criticizing already."

In short, the netizens were discussing and felt Yu Zhijing didn’t fit the original work, and excited fans even said they would boycott the series if Four Siblings Entertainment really cast her as the lead actress.

However, no matter how intense the opposition from netizens and fans, Duan Yunquan wouldn’t budge, even personally appearing at the press conference to say that Yu Zhijing was the most suitable lead he had chosen and that she would never be replaced.

"Ah! Did Yu Zhijing cast a spell on Mr. Duan? She’s truly not suitable! This is my favorite novel, and after spending so much on hiring the best director and male lead, why pick such an unspeakable actress as Yu Zhijing?"

"Seriously, just imagining Yu Zhijing applying her typical mother-in-law and childish idol drama acting to ’Ascension’ makes me want to die on the spot."

"Am I the only curious one about how Yu Zhijing managed to leapfrog over all the other actresses under Four Siblings Entertainment to get this role? Even hiring a newcomer fresh out of film school would be more suitable! In my impression, she’s already typecast as the lead in bad idol dramas, totally unsuited for such an inspirational female lead role!"

"Anyway, I’m already hopeless. Doesn’t Mr. Duan worry about ruining himself like this? Please, listen to the netizens’ advice. If it flops, won’t you be the one bearing the loss?"

But in face of netizens’ doubts and questions, Duan Yunquan remained firm in his choice, refusing to respond to why he chose Yu Zhijing, only stating she’s the most suitable and quickly choosing an auspicious day to start filming, putting an end to any thoughts of changing the lead actress.

"Feeling the pressure?" Ye Qiu was on a video call with Yu Zhijing.

"With such a big opportunity from second brother, of course, there’s pressure, but the more the pressure, the more motivation. I won’t let him down," Yu Zhijing said with a determined look.

"I’ve seen the comments about you online lately aren’t great, but don’t worry, as long as you show your strength, they will eventually come around after the broadcast. By then, it will be close to distancing yourself from the current company, and your reputation will undergo a big change."

"I understand these principles, thank you for your concern, third sister." Yu Zhijing smiled sweetly on the other end, feeling so fortunate to have three siblings always thinking of her.

"I’m not bothered by these discussions; I’ve been used to them since I was little. But third sister, can I make a small request?" She put on a pitiful expression.

"What is it?"

"I’d like to eat your cooking. Can you come visit the set? I want pork rib rice."

"Can I go? Isn’t your manager always watching you?"

"Second brother signed a contract with her, and there’s no other schedule for me at the moment. There’s only an assistant and two bodyguards around. Just tell them you’re my fan, and second brother will handle the rest."

Ye Qiu snorted lightly at this: "Isn’t it because second brother is also craving?"

Yu Zhijing chuckled: "You can’t hide anything from third sister. Second brother said he wants Buddha Jumping Wall."

"Quite a foodie," Ye Qiu said, pretending to be annoyed but not refusing. "Let him wait."

The ’Ascension’ film crew felt something different about Mr. Duan and their lead actress Yu Zhijing today. The two of them kept glancing toward the entrance, making everyone curious if someone important was coming today, though there were no rumors.

So the straightforward Director asked, "What exactly are you waiting for? Not even eating?"

To be honest, with Duan Yunquan here, the ’Ascension’ crew is quite generous, and their meal boxes are a notch or two above other crews. Even the male lead Shi Feinan asks his assistant to monitor his eating. Yet today, both Yu Zhijing, who doesn’t usually eat small portions, and Duan Yunquan hadn’t had a bite.

"Are you waiting for something delicious?" Thinking this, he immediately lost interest in the meal boxes and joined them in waiting, figuring that as the male lead, he might score a bite.

Director Jiang was also shrewd and put down his chopsticks, figuring he wouldn’t lose out if nothing came his way.

Then both Duan Yunquan and Yu Zhijing grew anxious, wondering how much more food two extra mouths would consume. Who knows when Ye Qiu would visit next?

But what’s meant to come will always come. Before they could find an excuse to send those two away, Ye Qiu was brought in by an assistant Duan Yunquan had waiting ahead of time.

"Brought so much?" Yu Zhijing rushed over to help.

"I brought some for the crew too. Let Zhu Li distribute it," Ye Qiu said.

Almost instantly, Yu Zhijing understood her third sister’s intention. It was to prevent people from talking behind her back on set since, after all, it’s hard to criticize someone after they’ve shared their food.

"Sure, I’ll have someone distribute it right away," she said, feeling touched.

"I told you there was good food," Shi Feinan exclaimed, eyes gleaming, completely unlike the mature and stable idol his fans imagined.

"Go eat your meal box." Duan Yunquan took the insulated box, swallowed, and opened it, only to regret it a moment later because the rich aroma filled the entire set, and everyone stared at him like hungry wolves.

"Those who see it have a share," Director Jiang quickly said, eagerly taking his cutlery, "This is Buddha Jumping Wall, isn’t it? I haven’t had it in a long time. This smells even better than the last time I had it. Which restaurant is this from?"

"Just something made casually at home. Director, please try it. Thank you for taking care of our Zhijing," Ye Qiu personally served him.

"And you are?"

"I’m Zhijing’s fan, here to visit the set today. These are from my shop as a token of gratitude for your kindness toward Zhijing."

"Not at all. Zhijing is a very good actress." Then he had no more words for compliments, as he was too stunned by the taste.
