Chapter 119 Making a Movie
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I have to go!"
Li Xiang's eyes were filled with fear. She couldn't understand why the man in front of her had discovered her biggest secret. Overwhelmed by fear, all she wanted was to escape this place.
However, when Li Xiang was about to leave, she found that she could not move her body, as if she had been frozen in place by something.
"It seems I wasn't wrong; I should address you as Ms. Yamaguchi."
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yifan sent Li Xiang flying slowly to his side.
This scene terrified Li Xiang, turning her face deathly pale. She understood that she had no power to resist the man in front of her; she was just meat on a chopping board, at his mercy.
"What do you want? And how did you know my true identity?"
Li Xiang took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.
"Hehe, as I said, I know a little about fortune telling, and I naturally figured out your true identity."
Zhao Yifan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang's pupils contracted slightly.
The other party wasn't lying?
Can the art of fortune telling really predict a person's past and future?
However, little did Li Xiang know that Zhao Yifan truly possessed these abilities.
After all, within the inner realm, nothing was a secret to him, and he himself felt no pressure.
However, Zhao Yifan has not yet reached the level of being able to see a person's past and future at a glance. Otherwise, he would not be a so-called immortal, but a true immortal.
Of course, there was no need to explain these things to the woman in front of him.
After all, what he needed was to intimidate this woman and make her work for him.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Li Xiang's voice trembled slightly.
Seeing the other person's expression, Zhao Yifan grinned, then uttered two more words—
"Kawashima!"
"you……"
Li Xiang's pupils dilated as she looked at Zhao Yifan in disbelief. She never expected that he would even know this name.
"Don't be so shocked. I've already said that your past and future hold no secrets for me."
Zhao Yifan spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang said in a low voice, "Now that you know everything, what do you want to do with me?"
Li Xiang knew very well that spies never had a good ending in any era.
Although she wasn't a true spy, after all, she didn't really want to harm the country.
However, her special identity also means that once it is exposed, there will be no place for her to stay in this land!
"I want you……"
Suddenly, Zhao Yifan spoke.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang trembled slightly, but did not struggle. She simply bit her lip, seemingly preparing to accept her fate.
Indeed, Li Xiang knew she was beautiful from a young age, but in this era, a woman's beauty is not a good thing; sometimes, it only brings disaster.
But just then, Zhao Yifan's voice continued to come—
"I want you to become a star in my newly established film company and make movies for me!"
"what?"
Li Xiang raised her head and looked at Zhao Yifan in disbelief.
She couldn't understand why the other party had done so much just to get her to make their movie.
"Why me? Now that you know my identity, don't you know that if my identity is exposed, the people of Great Xia will resist my films?"
Li Xiang said with a complicated expression.
"Hehe, the reason I invited you is precisely because of your status!"
Zhao Yifan said, "I need you to become an employee of my film company under your true identity, and then, from the perspective of an ordinary woman from Sakurajima, interpret the crimes that Sakurajima has committed against Great Xia!"
As someone from a later generation, Zhao Yifan was all too aware of the importance of the war of public opinion.
His goal was to transform this woman with a special identity into a star admired worldwide, and then use her perspective to interpret the war and expose the crimes of Sakurajima!
"This……"
Looking at Zhao Yifan with disbelief, Li Xiang never expected that he would have such a wonderful idea.
However, Li Xiang, who had studied in Russia, analyzed the situation from her own perspective and instantly understood the brilliance of Zhao Yifan's actions.
With the war between Sakurajima and Great Xia now in full swing, a war of public opinion is also inevitable.
If interpreted from the perspective of the Xia people, it would be difficult to gain international recognition, no matter how one interprets it.
However, Zhao Yifan took the opposite approach, intending to analyze the war from the perspective of the people of Sakurajima and expose the crimes committed by Sakurajima, which would be much more convincing.
This is the art of film!
After all, even the people of Sakurajima themselves acknowledge Sakurajima's crimes, so what is there to argue about?
"Okay, I promise you!"
Li Xiang said.
"Oh? You agreed so quickly? I thought I would have to threaten you."
Zhao Yifan said with some surprise.
Hearing this, Li Xiang sighed and said, "Although I'm not particularly clever, I do know how to assess situations. Besides, having lived on this land for so long, I've come to love it. I was powerless to do anything before, but now that I have the opportunity, I want to do what I can for Great Xia. Moreover..."
As she spoke, Li Xiang looked at Zhao Yifan and continued, "I can also see that you are determined to have me. If I don't agree, you won't let me go either."
"You are very smart!"
Zhao Yifan waved his hand, releasing the invisible restraints on the other party.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiang's eyes lit up; the other party's magical power felt quite novel to her.
"By the way, I need you to work for me under the name Yamaguchi. When that happens, there will definitely be many people in Sakurajima who want you dead. Aren't you afraid?"
Zhao Yifan said.
"What's the use of being afraid?"
Li Xiang said with a bitter expression, "You are right about one thing. I have lived my whole life on thin ice. Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the people around me will find out my true identity. Now that you have exposed me, I don't have to live in fear anymore. In fact, I should thank you!"
"No need to thank me!"
Zhao Yifan waved his hand and said, "However, don't worry. Since you're working for me, I'll take care of your safety. If the people of Sakurajima want to take your life, I'll make sure they all come back empty-handed!"
Zhao Yifan said this with a certain degree of confidence.
"But verbal assurances don't put my mind at ease."
Li Xiang said.
"Then, what do you need?"
Zhao Yifan said, "Just name your conditions, and I'll do my best to meet them if I can!"
"The conditions I want are very simple for you, it's just..."
As Li Xiang spoke, she moved closer to Zhao Yifan.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Yifan frowned. As a man who valued his integrity, he felt a strong aversion to such things.
"I risked my own safety for you, but as a woman, I'm also afraid of being abandoned by you one day. I need to secure my own future. You wouldn't be thinking of rejecting me, would you?"
Looking at Li Xiang's beautiful face, Zhao Yifan sighed helplessly.
The sacrifice he made for the greater good caused Zhao Yifan, who had always been self-disciplined, great inner turmoil.
However painful it was, Zhao Yifan could only endure it and chose to sacrifice his principles.
