Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 810 - 812: Elf Princess

Angus said, "I’m used to it. There will always be times when the sea is not calm and peaceful."

Jinxia: "You’re amazing."

Angus said modestly, "Not as amazing as you. You work hard. You’re the hardest working female artist I’ve ever seen."

Jinxia disagreed, saying calmly, "That must be because you haven’t really interacted with Huaxia stars. Once you do, you’ll realize that striving isn’t so much about hard work as it is an instinct engraved in our bones.

If you’re falling behind, you’ll get beaten. If you don’t want to be beaten, you have to fight forward desperately.

If you relax, countless peers will pull you down from your position, so you have to fight, even if it’s just to protect your current status; you must fight."

Angus was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "That sounds really harsh."

Jinxia turned her head elsewhere and said in a calm tone, "It’s reality. No one can live in Eden Garden forever."

Angus looked at her intently, "Jinxia, you’re different from the other actresses I’ve seen, hmm..."

He seemed to be weaving his words and only spoke after a while, "You’re like an unpolished raw stone, needing only some refining to become a shining diamond.

Your appearance, figure, fighting spirit, and impressive conversational skills... all different from other actresses."

Jinxia couldn’t help but laugh, wondering if foreign friends are always this straightforward, complimenting so directly, liking so directly, truly unrefined.

She shook her head and said casually, "Angus, you’re young and talented. Very few actors can land the lead role in a bestselling movie series at eighteen. Your starting point is much higher than most stars.

If I were you, I would channel all that excessive energy into improving my acting skills, to avoid being surpassed by the female lead in the same crew, rather than spending time thinking about how to hook up with the female lead."

Angus was taken aback, not expecting his thoughts to be so directly stated by Jinxia. Weren’t Huaxia people supposed to be reserved, not rejecting anything outright unless clearly stated, so why...

He looked up and saw that Jinxia, unknown to him, was looking over with tender eyes that were now cold and emotionless, dark and devoid of any feelings.

She said, "Don’t waste your thoughts on me if you don’t want me to misunderstand that you got this role by selling your ass."

Angus’s face immediately turned red, "You!"

Jinxia smiled, taking the lead, "You also think it’s impossible, don’t you? I feel the same, so please take your acting more seriously and make me feel some pressure.

Right now, the only challenge I have is adapting to the ship, but for you, there are many things you lack."

Angus eventually left but not before throwing a final harsh remark at Jinxia, reminiscent of a Huaxia drama where Grey Wolf always swears he’ll come back after being beaten by the sheep.

After Angus left, Jinxia continued leisurely admiring the moon in the sky. The ship had set sail and was gently rocking.

When awake, people can make adjustments to adapt better, constantly keeping their balance.

But once asleep, the constant rocking becomes quite torturous, and the director even mentioned that by late night, the rocking would be even more pronounced. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Jinxia was pondering whether she could sleep well at night, oblivious that her conversation with Angus had been leaked.

When Angus boarded the ship to find Jinxia, the female staff member who had shown him the way couldn’t contain her curiosity. After hesitating for a while, she stealthily climbed on board, eavesdropping on their conversation.

When she heard Angus losing face, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Fortunately, she controlled the volume, blending it into the sea breeze so that neither Jinxia nor Angus noticed.

After Angus left, she found it boring to stay alone, so she disembarked too, and soon encountered her close friend, to whom she vividly recounted the conversation between Angus and Jinxia.

Angus joined the crew a week earlier than Jinxia. Originally, many female staff members were fans of his, but after spending a week with him, they’d seen through his playboy nature. Some even overheard his remarks with other male staff about them!

This infuriated the once admiring women, turning them from fans to anti-fans!

Although they didn’t show it, they kept it in their hearts, waiting for the right chance to burst.

The arrival of Jinxia was an opportunity. The female staff didn’t know what to do to show Angus a lesson about messing with women, but Jinxia had already done a number on him, making him rethink his actions.

It was truly thrilling!

No need for deliberate gossip spreading; women’s inherent knack for gossip quickly led them to find chatting partners. Within just one evening, Jinxia’s reprimand of Angus had circulated among the women of the crew.

The next morning, as Jinxia woke up dizzy and went ashore to wash up, she noticed the female staff looking at her differently, almost with... eyes of admiration???

Simultaneously, Angus also realized that the female staff were looking at him differently, with eyes full of... chuckling and pity???

Not knowing exactly what happened, Angus asked them, but they said nothing, blaming him instead for overthinking and ignoring him.

Angus:...

Unwittingly took the blame.

The filming progress on the second day was as slow as usual, but it was better than the first day.

Jinxia could now barely stand firm while the ship rocked violently, which required a special skill that she practiced all day yesterday and was showing success today.

However, moving steadily while the ship rocked was still beyond her ability.

At this pace, she would soon smoothly immerse herself in the role, either by tomorrow or the day after.

Once she overcame her weakness, the shooting progression would leap, catching up with the previous progress within just three days after she’d adapted to the rocking ship.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

A fierce wind swept over, altering the calm sea instantaneously. The waves grew bigger and bigger, higher and higher, the entire sea roiling!

"No, help me!"

With a loud cry, the Elf Princess turned, only to hear a splash, as a crew member fell into the sea.

"Help me! Help me..." The crew member shouted in panic underwater.

Elf Princess Flais frowned, wanting to move forward, but after just a few steps, another huge shake rocked the boat.
