51 Chapter 51 Filming Starts

Jiang Lingyun's high morale gave Bai Shanshan peace of mind. She continued to have the PRR department promote Jiang Lingyun everywhere. With eye-catching headlines, the overwhelming amount of news turned the tide of the discussion. The previous gossip columns were slowly forgotten and Jiang Lingyun's other woman status was cleared.

Everyone saw that Grand was throwing its weight behind Jiang Lingyun and felt that Yan Wen should not have taken on this production. Once filming started, she might become Jiang Lingyun's foil.

On the way to the filming venue, Xia took another look at the photos in the top search.

"Bai Zhexuan has really spent a lot on this. Yan Wen, I can't stand it!" Xia frowned, unhappy that they were continuing their farce.

"There are so many announcements discussing Jiang Lingyun's commercial value. From the management point of view, you can both learn from her team." Yan Wen was calm and not affected by the going on.

"Okay..."

Chen Yu flipped open her laptop. "Bai Zhexuan just wants to clear Jiang Lingyun's name now, but he isn't thinking aboút the future. If she doesn't do well in this reality show... The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall."

This was a common tactic used in the entertainment industry.

Yan Wen smiled peacefully. Other than in front of Jiang Sui-an, she treated everyone the same. This made it difficult for others to decipher her thoughts. Her smile shielded her from everything

"That's the point."

Jiang Lingyun was sticking her head out in order to receive all the resources the industry could provide. And Bai Shanshan was letting her, to keep her where she was, and to make sure the safety of the child in her belly.

Once Jiang Lingyun really became popular, Grand Entertainment's status in the entertainment industry would also be enhanced.

"I don't know if Jiang Lingyun can meet Bai Shanshan's expectations."

"The director and cameramen for this production have all received awards on the international level. You need to be extremely professional when working with them. Today's filming is critical!" Xia analyzed.

Yan Wen has a slight smile. "Yes."

The filming venue was a private garden on the outskirts of the city. The lounge and the dressing room were together, and Jiang Lingyun was situated just opposite Yan Wen.

Everyone's outfits and make-up artists were all ready Lo go. When Yan Wen arrived, she had no objections to the preparations and maintained a soft smile on her face. Jiang Lingyun, on the other hand, started an argument with the make-up artist.

"How are these clothes suitable for me? Change new ones!"

She was more of a snob than international superstars, but she had good aesthetic sense and played to her strengths. Unlike Yan Wen's willowy frame, she had the homely figure of the girl next door, so she chose a high-waisted dress to accentuate the length of her legs and give her a delicate image.

However, to Yan Wen, how one portrayed one's true self in front of the camera was the theme of the production. She felt that that was what she was here to do, and her external image was not as important.

"Our Lingyun is Grand's supported star. Others can't be compared to her. Some people shouldn't even be considered."

Jiang Lingyun's assistant huffed in a mocking tone, rushing past with an armful of clothes.

"What's the use of such shiny and beautiful packaging? I thought seducing Bai Zhexuan was sufficient." Yan Wen's mild reply was aimed straight at Jiang Lingyun's other woman status. "Some things, once done, can never be erased."

It did not matter how much effort Bai Zhexuan made to clear her past, he would not be able to change the truth.

First, to be filmed was an interview, where the stars would sit in front of the camera and answer some questions. Since Yan Wen and Jiang Lingyun were both Asian women from the same company, the directorial team arranged for them to be interviewed together.

Before it started, Bai Shanshan made a special trip to the production venue.

"Remember, it doesn't matter what's going on behind the scenes. Once you're in front of the camera, think carefully. Don't do anything to embarrass the company." She leveled a long look at Yan Wen. "Don't do anything you'll regret."

"Shanshan, I'll do my best, just..." Jiang Lingyun did not finish and turned away

"I understand."

Yan Wen did not contradict Bai Shanshan or argue with Jiang Lingyun. But the more she acted that way, the more worried Bai Shanshan was that Yan Wen had already planned something to be unleashed at a critical time, and deal the company a great blow.

Her mild and indifferent expression made her difficult to read, and only Jiang Lingyun thought that Yan Wen was easy pickings.

Bai Zhexuan waited nearby the camera, his hand clutching his phone tightly If Yan Wen created any trouble today, he would be absolutely ruthless. Jiang Lingyun's success was the most important thing for their company and he would not allow anyone to get in their way.

They were both present at the filming venue to prevent anything unexpected from happening. If Yan Wen played them out at a critical time, he was still able to save the situation. However, once the cameras were rolling, everyone would discover that Yan Wen and Jiang Lingyun had very different temperaments.

One sat radiant in front of the camera, impatient to make herself up to be a sparkling jewel attracting the attention of everyone present.

The other waited as calm as water, exuding a mysterious quality that you could not take your eyes off.

A number of people were whispering amongst themselves about who, out of the two of them, would gain the upper hand.

Bai Zhexuan locked his eyes on the screen, his palms sweaty.

"Congratulations on being pårticipants on the tenth episode of Backstage. You're also the first Chinese stars to grace our show. Why did you choose to participate?" This was not only a valid question but was a very direct way to analyze their personalities.

Jiang Lingyun's lips curved up and she smiled confidently. "I represent Grand Entertainment. My participation in Backstage is the result of everyone's hard work."

The assistant director nodded and with a wave of his hand, the camera turned to Yan Wen.

Jiang Lingyun smiled smugly and waited to see what she would say.

"I didn't choose Backstage, the program chose me. I will definitely cherish this opportunity."

Yan Wen's answer was polite and her tone was relaxed. With her ever-present smile, she looked very calm on-screen. Not only did her words have meaning, but they also showed her high EQ.

Unlike Jiang Lingyun, who was eager to prove herself, Yan Wen used her polite words to portray her sincerity.

The directors gave each other pleased looks, clearly preferring the second answer.

Jiang Lingyun shared a look with Bai Zhexuan, who was standing behind the director, and an idea came to mind.

"So, what do the two of you think of our show?"

At this, Jiang Lingyun became shrewd. She laughed and said, "I'm also interested in hearing Yan Wen's answer."

This way, she could push the whole question to Yan Wen.

A normal artist would probably generalize and bring up their own status in the industry when faced with this question. However, Yan Wen just smiled slightly and replied, "I don't think I'm qualified enough to assess a high-quality reality show like this one."

Her answer was humble and inoffensive; Jason nodded from the side.
