Xia Ling recuperated in the hospital for some time. As her body gradually recovered, she resumed shooting.

The subsequent shoot was very smooth, and she did not encounter any danger. She guessed that after the sluice incident, Li Lei was still tirelessly investigating the truth. If it was truly an accident, it was fine, but if it was not, she was aware that the perpetrator probably would not do anything in the short term to avoid suspicion.

Xia Ling actually suspected Xia Yu, but unfortunately, she had no evidence.

When they were filming, Xia Yu would make small talk with her when she saw her and had a soft smile on her face when she concernedly asked about her health. Those who did not know would think that they shared a deep friendship.

Xia Ling only wanted to focus on completing this show and get rid of Xia Yu’s disgusting, hypocritical face.

She raised her spirits and acted perfectly in front of the camera, and her excellent shots caused many to marvel.

“Ye Xingling is really good.” During the noon break, Jimmy handed Rong Ping a lunchbox and looked at the girl who was laughing with Luo Luo. “Brother Rong, would you like to invite her to make a cameo in the next show?” Extraordinary Risks was about to come to an end, and the buzz about the speed dating show was about to die down soon. If there were an announcement at this point that Ye Xingling was going to participate in a drama with Rong Ping, from the filming of the show till the airing of it, they would continue to be a hot topic for a year.

During this period, Rong Ping and Ye Xingling’s pairing generated a lot of interest, and it was a good chance to promote them.

Jimmy really wished that this sort of hype would continue.

Rong Ping opened the lunchbox elegantly and also looked at the girl nearby whom Jimmy was staring at. In reality, her acting skills were not too good. The only reason why she was so dazzling in front of the camera was that she was good at showcasing herself. In other words, although she was outstanding, the roles she could play were too limited, and she had a long way to go in the acting world.

However, he still nodded.

He was about to star in a summer blockbuster movie. As he was playing a starring role in the box office, it was easy for him to add an unimportant small roll in the movie. Rong Ping thought about it carefully and realized that there was actually a role suitable for her. “How about we let her have the role of the demon princess.”

Jimmy was also aware of this role. It was a small role and did not require much acting prowess as it was a typical “flower vase” role. The so-called “flower vase” roles were used to label female characters who looked attractive but did not require acting skills.

He was somewhat troubled. “Many people are competing for this role, including Ning Er from Superstar Entertainment, Zhou Ziwen from Pegasus Media, Li Beier, and Shui Yunrou. Ye Xingling’s appearance does not outshine them.” To get a “flower vase” role, one had to be beautiful. Regardless of whether one had the skill, as long as one was able to get a top tier “flower vase” role, on the face value, the female star would receive everyone’s recognition. Furthermore, Rong Ping was going to appear in the movie and had box office protection, so this was a good opportunity to increase her status and popularity.

Rong Ping also knew that Ye Xingling was only considered a mediocre beauty.

He said, “Let her participate in the audition. I’m sure she won’t disappoint the crew.” That girl was naturally radiant and appeared lively in front of the camera. Even if her face were not beautiful enough, as long as she stood there, everyone’s eyes would unknowingly be drawn to her. In other words, she had an innate ability to hold the attention of the audience.

Her charm far exceeded the other actresses’.

Jimmy had always been following the show team. At this moment, he also mostly understood why Rong Ping was so confident. He thought about it and felt that it was only a small role. With Ye Xingling’s current position today, she had already reached the standard. Although her looks were slightly inferior, her charm in front of the camera was unmatched by many actresses.

She also had Movie King Rong’s recommendation.

He nodded, “Ok, I will look for Ye Xingling now.”

“Also,” Rong Ping stopped him. “Tell her that I will teach her how to act.” This was a more tempting suggestion than getting a big role. Acting was the way actors earned money, and they would usually conceal their acting skills. Why would he easily share the knowledge that he had accumulated over the years? A private acting lesson with Rong Ping…

Many people dreamed of this impossible dream.

“Brother Rong?” Even Jimmy was shocked.

Rong Ping smiled. “It won’t hurt. She’s a female celebrity.” Although there was competition between male and female stars, it was far from the competition between stars of the same gender. Transferring his skills to her would be quite safe. Furthermore, considering Ye Xingling’s current condition… it seemed that she could only sing and perform and had about zero mastery of real acting. This would be like a doctoral tutor giving advice to a primary school student. Why would he be afraid of being surpassed by a primary school student?

After hearing what he said, Jimmy was relieved and went to look for her.

After hearing about it, Xia Ling had no opinion. However, she said, “I can’t make the decision.” She smiled. “You should ask Lin Yunan about it. He will decide whether I take the job.” She knew about her strengths and weaknesses. Although she was very talented at singing, it did not mean that she had the same talent in other areas. At least, she knew that her acting skills were subpar.

Even if she accepted a movie role, endorsement, or a variety show role, they were all necessary to pave her way to become the next Diva. Lin Yunan was the expert when it came to paving the right way for her.

Jimmy also looked at her strangely. Other female celebrities would hurriedly grab this good opportunity, but she stuck to her own heart and principles without being sidetracked by these offers. “Alright,” Jimmy smiled politely and said. “I will discuss this with Lin Yunan. Miss Ye, I look forward to working together with you again.”

Xia Ling smiled and nodded.

As predicted, Lin Yunan looked for her at night.

At that time, she was drinking tea in the apartment. To avoid the paparazzi, she had fully enclosed the spacious terrace. If they looked out of the three-sided walls and one-way glass, they could comfortably look at the vast night sky on a bench, but the cameras could not take pictures of them.

Thus, it was very safe, and Li Lei was also there.

Today, he was wearing light-colored sportswear which faintly outlined his excellent body and taut muscles, and there was an army dog tag around his neck. His handsome features shined under the stars.

He was really an eye-catching man.

As Xia Ling admired him, another man poured tea for her. She felt that she had become more arrogant and extravagant recently. Ever since Li Lei hid from the paparazzi, he really wanted to stay with her every day, serve her tea, and ensure that she was living comfortably so that the first person she would think of was him even if she were just slicing oranges.

Things would not be good if they went on like this…
