The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1070 - 1066 "Illusion Kill" Finalizes the Female Lead

GYE Company

"You’re telling me Phantom Kill has settled on Qiao Xiaren?" Huang Ningyue was still touching up her makeup when she heard her agent bring up this topic, "Wasn’t Director Wei considering having me and Xi Yijian as leads? How did it suddenly end up being Qiao Xiaren?"

The inside news of the circle is usually very informed. Director Wei has always favored her, she and Lu Shui are well aware of this, and their goal is to foster a good relationship between the Lan Family and Director Wei.

"Illusion Kill" is a remake based on a classic film from C Country, "Shadow Kill," from ten years ago; after collecting several major awards from three of Europe’s biggest film festivals, C Country thus produced the second international Cannes Best Actress, Cui Meili.

Therefore, when the producers secured the rights to "Shadow Kill" and decided to refresh this story, many film stars and celebrities started to get restless. This movie was definitely a juicy opportunity, as it already had such excellent inherent qualities. The story itself is far more prestigious than that of other films.

The reason why "Shadow Kill" became a classic, sweeping major awards from the three big European film festivals of its time, is inseparable from its unique storyline. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

As a result, the officials attached great importance to filming "Phantom Kill." Half a year ago, they started openly casting within the circle, not only for the leading male and female roles but also for every other role, big or small, leaving none unconsidered.

After the discussion among the producers, the first publicly announced role for "Phantom Kill" was the male lead, Xi Yijian, which caught the attention of a large number of Xi Yijian’s fans.

Xi Yijian, though bearing the label of an idol, was significantly older than other young fresh meat; his acting skills were gradually taking shape while his popularity was near explosive, undoubtedly making him the most suitable choice for male lead.

Xi Yijian’s fans were always closely following the casting progress of the movie, with the selection of the female lead being their top concern. With the announcement that the female lead was Qiao Xiaren, the fans were not only delighted but also satisfied.

"The official announcement has been made." Agent Lu Shui passed her the cell phone. "Phantom Kill" had already set up an official Weibo, and the male and female leads were undoubtedly Xi Yijian and Qiao Xiaren.

Huang Ningyue’s face turned sour; there had been constant rumors that she would be the female lead of "Phantom Kill," and now the official announcement was undoubtedly a slap in her face. Hadn’t Director Wei already hinted something to her before? How did it suddenly change to Qiao Xiaren?

Everyone knows about the grievances between her and Qiao Xiaren. Now that the role has been confirmed for Qiao Xiaren, where does that leave her face?

"Ningyue, you don’t need to feel too sad. You are also growing bit by bit, and one day you’ll overshadow her," Lu Shui consoled her, without the slightest solution at hand.

Though Lu Shui felt some irritation and annoyance internally, she couldn’t deny that whether it be in terms of popularity or appearance, Qiao Xiaren had an edge over her own agency’s artists.

That person could truly be described as the winner in life.

Struggling in the entertainment industry, one undoubtedly hopes to win applause and honors, bask in the admiration of thousands, and of course, enjoy beautiful and happy love.

And all this seems to be present in Qiao Xiaren’s life.

"Overshadow her?" Huang Ningyue’s makeup was only half done, and beneath her dimmed eyes, there was a hint of sarcasm, "Do you know how strong the production team of Phantom Kill is? Director Wei himself is already among the ranks of famous directors, and this film is a remake of ’Shadow Kill’ which cleaned up major awards at European film festivals a decade ago. Everyone wants to seize this opportunity! Cui Meili became the Cannes Best Actress because of ’Shadow Kill.’ If I were the lead, perhaps I could be the next Cannes Best Actress!"

The title of International Best Actress would directly suppress the momentum of Qiao Xiaren as the domestic Best Actress.

But all this had been shattered by Qiao Xiaren being chosen as the female lead for "Phantom Kill."
