Chapter 24
Song Jixing looked at her agent's overly exaggerated performance and reassured him.
[I didn't raise a child, nothing happened, went home to cook, don't worry, see you tomorrow morning.]
Song Jixing sent the message back, added Wang Xiaoming's WeChat, and logged into her own Weibo account on impulse.
Sure enough, the moment she logged in, the Weibo interface buffered for a long time, and messages popped up from the background one after another.
Song Jixing watched the various red dots like private messages, replies, etc. turn into 999+.
It should be known that in her several years since signing the contract, the total number of likes added up was not even 999. Now there were so many more all at once that her phone got stuck for a good half a day.
What if her phone broke? Who could she ask for reimbursement?
After a few minutes, when her phone finally regained normality, Song Jixing clicked to view her homepage, and as expected saw some related posts about herself.
Mainly it was the live broadcast she had used yesterday to prove herself, the one Young Universisty had sent out.
But the one Young University had sent out was not the hottest. Even hotter was a post by a big V self-media with the sensationalistic title: How many meters has Song Jixing run around the school track 53 times? The big V seemed to be a graduate of Young University. Acting under the name of alumni, he had gone in and measured the size of the track, concluding that the track Song Jixing had run around was more than 400 meters per lap, not only breaking the actual record, but greatly exceeding the original record.
This short video stunned the public. For a time, several hot search topics were occupied again, and some even @ the national team, saying to take the seedling in.
There were words of praise, and words of doubt. Below it was still a melee, saying Song Jixing's physique compared with all long-distance runners was very different, not the most optimal, so there was reason to suspect Song Jixing was showing off.
It seemed like the hot search was always arguing about these things. Song Jixing took a look at it for a few times, didn't have much interest.
If they could also cultivate, it would be as simple as not only breaking that world record, even running while carrying a high-speed rail would be faster than the rail.
Song Jixing retreated from the hot social news and looked at the interactions of several people she followed on her homepage.
The previous Song Jixing had been too unknown. Her Weibo had been operated by her previous agent. Occasionally she would post some photos to interact, or post holiday greetings and the like.
The last Weibo post was still two years ago, truly bleak.
Song Jixing looked at the several people from the same company she followed on her homepage, all of whom were forwarding the message from Lan Ying Company's legal department.
The legal department had issued a notice saying that it would specially protect the individual reputation rights of the company's artist Song Jixing, and asked all kinds of media marketing accounts to cherish themselves.
Song Jixing took a look, didn't know what to say, and closed her phone directly.
Sleep, talk about it tomorrow.
While Song Jixing herself went to bed, many people couldn't sleep tonight.
Xiao Mei was an ordinary white-collar worker. After finishing a day's busy work, she lay in bed and opened her phone, like the many other people surfing online at this moment, looking at the hot search with puzzlement in her heart.
Who is Song Jixing?
Everything about Song Jixing could be seen by clicking into her page. She was a national girl who debuted after taking the college entrance examination a few years ago. She had been on some variety shows before she faded into obscurity.
But the girl from Young University who broke the world record was also called Song Jixing! Is there some mysterious connection between them?
Many students from Young University came out to prove that the two Song Jixings were the same person, while others said the two just looked alike. In short, the news was half true and half false.
Taking advantage of face verification to check out screenshots of the film and TV works Song Jixing had participated in, and then looking at the video released by the Y City Sports Association earlier, people quickly came to the conclusion in their hearts!
It really is the same person! An absolute ringer!
Damn, is it so competitive nowadays to even be an actor without some skills?
Curious about Song Jixing, Xiao Mei clicked into the TV shows and movies with Song Jixing.
After watching it once, Xiao Mei posted on Weibo:
[I watched Millenial Zombie and they said Song Jixing had a supporting role, but where is Song Jixing? I stared with wide eyes for half the show and didn't see her! Is there another actor with the same name? ]
The comment below quickly replied: [Sister, look at 35 minutes 52 seconds, Song Jixing's front face.]
[Thank you, may you have peace your whole life!]
Xiao Mei opened the video again, dragged the progress bar to 35 minutes, staring widely as the time ticked second by second to 52.
She saw the female zombie with green all over her face right in the middle of the screen.
As it was the first horror film she had seen in her life, she stared at the female ghost intently for a long time.
This......
The eyebrows looked quite similar. It really was Song Jixing! A very pretty female zombie, just too green, so she didn't recognize her for a moment.
Xiao Mei felt somewhat ridiculous as she posted this stuff on Weibo for everyone else to share.
Seeking out all the supporting roles Song Jixing had played, the marginal figures in big productions.
Truly miserable!
Mostly some roles that didn't show their face or vases. Rarely were there several very eye-catching appearances, but the screen time was too short, all roles that chimed in with a couple lines before wrapping up!
Such a pretty young girl, how could she be so miserable?
Thus everyone called out Song Jixing's company in unison, asking if they could allot some better resources to her!
She was, after all, a genius world-record-holding athlete. Why make her always play weird things?
Lan Ying's staff looked at these private messages and reported them to their superiors, sending them to Xu Kai.
That evening, Xu Kai was very happy. Finally his contracted artist was no longer obscure!
But faced with the inquiries of netizens he was still helpless. Her choosing to act in supporting roles had been Song Jixing's own decision, not something he could decide.
He definitely could not say this to outsiders. Outside fans definitely wouldn't believe it!
He could only swallow the bitter pill himself! Alas!
-
Song Jixing got up early the next day, arriving at the company by run before 8 AM.
Although as an artist Song Jixing didn't have to clock in for work, upholding a good professional ethic she arrived at the company early.
Going to work is extremely tiring everyday for working people. By 8 o'clock, in Lan Ying Tower over half the people were already in their seats.
Song Jixing walked to the floor where her agent Xu Kai's office was located, preparing to go find him to discuss today's schedule.
Knock knock knock
The door sounded.
"Come in." Xu Kai sat at his desk furiously chugging coffee. He had already pulled an all-nighter.
Song Jixing pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Song Jixing walk in, Xu Kai's gaze involuntarily shifted to the time displayed in the bottom right corner of the monitor. Right at 8 o'clock on the dot.
Also too dedicated...
No no, can't be fooled by Song Jixing's early bird outward appearance. This time he must have a firmer attidue!
Xu Kai set down his coffee cup and stood up, walking to Song Jixing and said: "Sister Song, you came so early!"
"Have you eaten? The company just ordered breakfast. Would you like some?"
Song Jixing: "I've eaten."
"Then would you like coffee? Juice? Milk? Wine? What do you like to drink? I'll have someone prepare it for you!" Xu Kai had a warm smile and extremely amiable attitude.
