Chapter 697: Si Fuqing: Which T18 Senior Executive Do You Want to Contact? (1)

Beneath the main text, there were a few lines of fine print:

[The Oracle’s Spokesperson Si Fuqing stars in the lead role! The award-winning Mo Yishan makes a special appearance! Tang Haiqiu once again sparks a wave of xianxia!]

[This year’s most anticipated TV drama!]

Accompanying the text was a picture of Si Fuqing clad in silver armor, wielding a long sword, standing on the celestial palace, overlooking all realms below.

The aura was compelling.

Despite the years Tong Luoyun had spent hardened by the rigors of the entertainment industry, the news struck her like a thunderclap.

Insiders understood the prestige of IFTV far better than any outsider could.

Although Tong Luoyun herself was a member of the International Film Association, where many from the Great Xia Empire and nearly ten thousand globally could claim the same, achieving airtime on IFTV was a feat that required navigating through rigorous layers of approval, even for the works of core members.

How could Si Fuqing, a newcomer barely recognized within domestic entertainment circles, secure a premiere slot on IFTV for her very first series?

Tong Luoyun wanted to believe it was a fabrication, yet her clarity of thought told her otherwise.

No one dared use IFTV as a publicity stunt.

There had been those who tried before, only to end up embarrassed internationally and blacklisted permanently by the International Film Association.

Sang Yanqing, Si Fuqing’s agent, was well aware of these stakes.

It had to be real.

Especially considering the comments below the news, each one jabbing painfully at Tong Luoyun’s pride.

[Team Tong Luoyun has really messed up this time. They secured the prime slot on Great Xia TV, only to be overtaken by a junior. Where will they put their face now?]

[I have to say, Sang Yanqing really knows her stuff. The artists she manages are one better than the next. I’m betting on Si Fuqing surpassing Tong Luoyun in the future.]

[With ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ picked up by IFTV, I bet Si Fuqing could sweep next year’s major TV awards. This starting point is unmatched.]

As Tong Luoyun’s complexion grew increasingly grim, neither her assistant nor her agent dared to speak.

After calming herself for three minutes, Tong Luoyun took a deep breath, “I’m going back out to film.”

Her agent cautiously responded, “Alright, you focus on filming. Leave the rest to me.”

Though he said this, even he couldn’t think of any immediate remedies.

Tong Luoyun nodded coldly and was about to leave when a fellow actor burst in.

“Wow, Tong, your people from the Great Xia Empire are incredible!” The blonde male actor was visibly excited. “This Si Fuqing, she actually made it onto IFTV. Is she the strongest star in your country?”

Each country had its top stars, but unless they had a presence on the international stage, they remained unrecognized elsewhere.

Tong Luoyun, though a top-tier celebrity in the Great Xia Empire, had yet to make significant international waves.

Only Lu Ningsheng had started gaining international recognition this year for singing the anniversary theme song for ‘Oracle’, and winning the Hera Music Award.

Not everyone could reach the heights of Yun Lan.

Tong Luoyun clenched her phone and forced a smile, “What?”

“Yeah, her! I recognize her face; she’s the spokesperson for ‘Oracle’.” The blonde actor pointed to the ‘Oracle’ login page. “She’s not even twenty yet, and her achievements are so high, impressive.”

“And she’s so beautiful too. I definitely have to watch this drama. If it’s on IFTV, she must be really capable! Tong, do you know her?”

Tong Luoyun’s response was nearly squeezed through clenched teeth, “No, we have a lot of stars in Great Xia.”

She had wanted to downplay Si Fuqing’s abilities, but the actor’s firm belief in Si Fuqing’s prowess would only make her look worse if she spoke ill now.

“Too bad,” the actor lamented. “If you knew her, Tong, you could have gotten me an autograph.”

After he left, Tong Luoyun snapped, “Close the door!”

Her assistant hurriedly shut the door.

“Bang!”

Tong Luoyun hurled her phone away, unable to contain her rage.

She had never regarded Si Fuqing as a threat, considering it beneath her to be compared with a newcomer, and even with established stars like Mo Yishan and Gu Zhinan.

Domestically, she was the only one repeatedly invited to join the red carpet at Glenn; who else could compare?

But now, everyone was telling her she had lost to a newcomer.

“Cool down, just cool down,” her agent handed her a glass of water. “I guess Sang Yanqing just threw a Hail Mary with ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ to IFTV, and it just so happened to be picked up. Your talent is undeniable, unshakeable.”

“Undeniable?” Tong Luoyun was so angry that she actually laughed out in response. “Haven’t you seen the online comments? They say she’ll surpass me within a year. What a joke, I’ve been on this path for over a decade!”
