The Movie Queen's Mouth is Blessed - Chapter 44

Ming Zhu was hesitant, but she mustered the courage to ask.

She had always known Jiang Xiaobai was beautiful. Still, the outfit and makeup combination were simply perfect for her. They were a mix of purity, nobility, innocence, and a touch of coldness, genuinely making her look like a forest princess. This is why Ming Zhu couldn’t resist asking if she could take a photo to keep.

She specifically mentioned only taking photos of her face, not the outfit, to avoid any concerns about leaking information before the advertisement was officially released. Without official permission, such leaks could lead to legal issues.

Fortunately, Milly didn’t mind. She nodded quickly, her face showing understanding. “Of course, you can. Our collaboration isn’t a secret. You can post a close-up of Xiao’s face online; that’s not a problem.”

Jiang Xiaobai was known to be challenging to pronounce, so when introducing herself to foreigners, she often said they could call her Xiao. George and Milly followed this practice.

Ming Zhu’s face lit up with excitement.

The contract was signed, the endorsement deal was set in stone, and even the person in charge had given permission. Dong Ran, therefore, had no reason to hold back. While Jiang Xiaobai continued the photoshoot, Dong Ran logged into her account, edited the photo, and posted it.

Soon, people started noticing her posts and commenting.

“This makeup is amazing! Another day of admiring her beauty!”

“My goddess is so beautiful! Goddess, you don’t need to work; just be beautiful, and I’ll take care of you!”

“What will you use to take care of her? Steal electric scooters?”

“Mom, I’m in love!”

“Is anyone else curious why the goddess is called this? She’s clearly very white.”

“Did anyone else notice the location? The goddess is in France. Did she go to some event?”

“This location is Tianwei’s headquarters! My God, could it be what I think it is?”

“How is this possible? With her level of fame, why would Tianwei invite her? Maybe she just passed by and posted this to ride the wave. Celebrities love to do that, creating speculation.”

“It’s normal to be skeptical. Even the person involved thought it was fake news at first. So, it’s no surprise that most netizens don’t believe it.”

Dong Ran read the comments but didn’t respond, letting the netizens speculate.

The day’s workload was heavy, with almost no breaks during the photoshoot. Fortunately, everything was completed by evening.

Dong Ran had already booked a flight for the following day at Jiang Xiaobai’s request. As they were leaving Tianwei, Jiang Xiaobai hesitated momentarily before calling Milly.

“Can I ask why you chose me?”

Jiang Xiaobai had carefully read the contract and found no issues. The shoot had gone smoothly, and the efficiency was extreme, leaving no room for doubt or deception. This only made her more curious.

Why did Tianwei choose her?

If it had been after the release of “Legend of the Nine Heavens,” Jiang Xiaobai could have understood. But currently, she didn’t have many notable works. Tianwei’s standards couldn’t be that low, could they?

Although it was a bit strange, Jiang Xiaobai still had reservations about the original owner’s performance in the industry.

Milly raised an eyebrow at the question and then smiled faintly. “I saw your videos from the set. They matched the style we were looking for in this issue’s cover. I wasn’t entirely sure at first, but after meeting you, I knew I made the right choice.”

Videos from the set?

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. “You mean… ‘The Legend of the Nine Heavens’?”

That was the only set she could think of.

Milly nodded.

Was it really “The Legend of the Nine Heavens”? But how did she see the behind-the-scenes footage? This felt a bit odd.

As they parted ways, Milly added one more thing.

“You have a very good friend.”

Even returning to the hotel, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t stop thinking about that comment.

“The Legend of the Nine Heavens” set… videos… a good friend…

Suddenly, a name came to mind!

At first, it seemed unbelievable, but the more she thought about it, the more the pieces fell into place.

That night, Tianwei’s official Weibo account followed Jiang Xiaobai and reposted her selfie with the comment, “Beautiful princess, it was a pleasure working with you.”

This “princess” referred to the shooting theme, “Forest Princess.”

Jiang Xiaobai knew this, but her fans didn’t, leading them to assume that even Tianwei praised her beauty.

“She’s a princess? A vase princess?”

“Being beautiful is enough to be a princess! Don’t like it? Come and bite me, ha ha ha.”

“What’s wrong with this world? Can Tianwei recognize a vase with no acting skills? It’s definitely a face-obsessed world…”

“These comments aren’t very friendly. Some praise, some criticize. This is a common pattern for any popular figure.”

Ming Zhu was a bit angry. “You’re not a vase!”

Even though Xiaobai had been a bit of a vase in the past, she had changed. They just didn’t understand her transformation.

Dong Ran was more relaxed. “It’s okay. Once the drama airs, they’ll gradually change their views. Besides, not everyone can be called a vase. First, they have to be beautiful.”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh. “Sister Ran, you’re right.”

After a short rest in China, Jiang Xiaobai returned to the set.

“You’re working with Tianwei? Congratulations.”

Gu Xue smiled when she saw her.

“Thank you.”

“I feel you’re going to become a big star.”

Gu Xue said this with great sincerity. She wasn’t sure where this feeling came from, but ever since she first met Jiang Xiaobai, she felt something different about her. Even when she was quiet, she had a unique aura that was hard to describe but strangely attractive.

If Jiang Xiaobai knew about this feeling, she could explain it.

Her soul still belonged to the talisman master Jiang Bai. After years of immersion in talisman-making, her personality had become calm and refined. This aura, infused with spiritual energy, changed the original owner’s presence, creating a harmonious yet contradictory blend.

The original owner was a spirited young woman in her early twenties. Jiang Bai’s calm and reserved nature created a unique and intriguing combination.
