Lin Daiyu's Battle in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 54
"Xiao Fang" was released in the middle of April this year,
At that time, it was not a particularly good schedule,
There were also a few foreign blockbusters released at the same time.
In this kind of atmosphere,
It seemed that there was nothing outstanding about this low-budget literary film.
Probably the only thing that stood out,
It was that the female lead was especially beautiful.
But beauty could not beat the box office.
However, this movie did not have a big investment, and it was not a commercial film.
As long as the box office was higher than the cost, it would be considered a win. The producer, director, and lead actors were all very Buddhist.
Who would have thought that such a Buddhist movie would successfully break out of the encirclement and become a box office dark horse at that time,
The box office on the first day of release exceeded 100 million yuan,
Which made everyone feel especially incredulous.
However, it was not difficult to understand. After all, as a newcomer, Daiyu's fans were full of passion and had nowhere to vent,
It was not easy for a movie to be released, so they would definitely be excited.
Moreover, many celebrities in the industry helped to promote it, including Xiao Zexi,
What was even rarer was that the president of the Han Corporation, Han Chengye, actually posted on Weibo, which was rare.
The fans below were crying and shouting for their husband, even though their husband posted on Weibo for someone else,
But for Mr. Han, who had disappeared all year round,
It was really a once-in-a-lifetime wait.
The fans had to support him.
Of course,
No matter how powerful the fans were,
They could not support the box office. The main reason was that the film's concept and theme were not bad. It focused on the current hot topics of the people's lives, and it conveyed positive energy, unlike other such films that were dark. Of course, it was not blindly saintly. You abused me thousands of times, I treated you like my first love — that did not exist.
In the end, with a 20 million investment, they directly obtained 1.35 billion at the box office. It could be said that it shocked everyone. There were also many people on the Internet who spontaneously recommended that Daiyu's value immediately soared. After all, no matter how big the traffic was, it was useless if it could not support the box office.
Now, this was a real box office result!
The director who had worked with her had already booked the female lead in the next movie because the director felt that Daiyu was a blessing.
This time, not only did Daiyu win an award, but the director also won the best director and the best screenplay. It could be said to be a great harvest.
After the award ceremony ended, the organizers invited the guests who participated in the event to attend a cocktail party together. The main cast of "Xiao Fang" were all present. Xiao Zexi stood in the corner with a goblet in his hand. He watched Daiyu shine in the crowd like stars surrounding the moon. He felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
His girl was like a sparkling gem. If she didn't work hard, she would soon surpass him!
What a sad story.
It seemed that he had to make up his mind and work hard. Otherwise, he could only look up at her until he could no longer see her back.
Daiyu could be said to have received the most blessings in her life tonight. One by one, people she knew and didn't know all came to give her their blessings. However, Daiyu rarely drank. She was always holding a wine glass. When someone came over, she would take a sip.
Even so, when the cocktail party was over, Daiyu still felt a little dizzy. She could only blame herself for being too obedient and rarely drinking. She didn't have much to drink.
Fortunately, there were two assistants with her. However, when they were looking for a car in the parking lot, they couldn't find it because they were driving a company van. Then, a car drove over and stopped in front of Daiyu. The car window was rolled down, revealing a cold and fierce face.
It was Han Chengye.
Han Chengye frowned and looked at Daiyu who was leaning on her assistant. Her watery eyes were a little confused.
"Get in the car. I'll take you back."
Han Chengye said firmly.
As he spoke, the driver got out of the car and quickly opened the door.
The assistant was a little tempted. After all, he was driving a luxurious car!
She had never sat in one before. What a wicked rich man!
The assistant was tempted, but Daiyu was not.
In fact, due to the alcohol and the fact that she had only met Han Chengye a few times, Daiyu didn't recognize who the person in front of her was.
Seeing that he was talking to her in a domineering tone, she was especially annoyed. "Who are you?
Why are you being so fierce? Do I know you? "
As she spoke, she rolled her beautiful eyes.
The assistant was so scared that she almost peed her pants. Han Chengye was considered to be at the top of the pyramid in the entertainment industry. If she angered him, she might accidentally be banned. That would be terrible!
However, unexpectedly, Han Chengye didn't show any signs of anger. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said with interest, "Oh, you don't know me?" As he spoke, he adjusted the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The assistant was speechless. This … this tone, it was as if he was saying, "This lady is very pure and unpretentious. She's completely different from those flirtatious b * tches out there." No, to be precise, it was like a domineering CEO saying, "Very good, you've successfully attracted my attention."
The assistant was infatuated. In her mind, she was already imagining a 500,000-word CEO novel titled "The Domineering CEO's Dainty Wife".
Just as she was feeling touched, she suddenly felt her body lighten. She didn't know when he had arrived. Xiao Zexi was expressionless as he carried Daiyu in a princess carry. He said to Han Chengye, "It's on the way. I won't trouble Mr. Han."
The assistant came back to her senses and hurriedly followed behind. She sat in Xiao Zexi's car, which was also very luxurious.
The assistant sat in the corner and watched as Xiao Zexi carefully placed Daiyu's head on his shoulder. His eyebrows were full of heartache, as if he was holding a priceless treasure in his arms.
The assistant's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Mr. Xiao was so, so, so, so handsome!
Two men fighting over a woman. Just thinking about it made her feel so sweet!
Just as she was imagining things, the phone rang. Daiyu frowned slightly as if she was holding her heart. Xiao Zexi's sharp gaze shot towards her. The assistant swallowed her saliva and silently picked up the phone. It was the other assistant's roar.
"Where are you waiting? I drove out and didn't see anyone. What do you want?
Do you have a job? Bastard! "
Erm … She had been so engrossed in her imagination that she had forgotten.
After sending Daiyu home safely, the assistant saw Xiao Zexi princess-carry Daiyu home. It was Granny Lin who opened the door and only left when she saw that Daiyu had returned home. After all, everyone knew what Xiao Zexi was thinking. If he went berserk and took advantage of the beautiful Sister Lin to do something unspeakable to her while she was drunk, she wouldn't regret it even if she died!
She definitely couldn't let anything happen to her pure and innocent Sister Lin!
Hence, the assistant stared at Xiao Zexi's murderous gaze and followed him to Daiyu's house. She was sure that Granny Lin had opened the door. Only then did she feel at ease and quickly bid farewell to Xiao Zexi and go home.
Now, even if Xiao Zexi wanted to do something, he wouldn't have the chance!
In reality, she was overthinking. Xiao Zexi saw that Daiyu was frowning and looked like she was extremely uncomfortable. His heart ached so much that he couldn't care less about anything else!
He didn't have any romantic thoughts.
Although he had finally entered the house, he didn't have time to think about anything else. After Granny Lin opened the door, Xiao Zexi naturally called out, "Granny." Granny Lin was stunned. When she saw Daiyu in his arms, she didn't have time to say anything and quickly let him in. She carried him to Daiyu's bedroom and put her on the bed.
Granny Lin could tell that Daiyu was drunk when she saw that she was moaning and groaning. Her heart ached for the child and she quickly went to the kitchen to make some hangover soup for her.
As for Xiao Zexi, he was busy wiping Daiyu's face and hands with a towel and feeding her water. He looked very diligent.
After he and Granny Lin fed Daiyu the hangover soup, they sat down and felt awkward. Xiao Zexi wanted to bang his head against the wall. Ah, ah, ah, he actually came here without any preparation. Would Granny think that he was frivolous and immature?
He hurriedly tried to explain, "Granny, it's not like what you see. I'm usually very polite …"
Granny Lin looked at him and smiled kindly, "It's okay. I know."
Xiao Zexi was speechless. Huh?
Know what?
He didn't even know himself!
Feeling that he had been rude, Xiao Zexi apologized solemnly and promised that he would do his homework and visit again next time. Then, he looked in the direction of Daiyu's bedroom and left reluctantly.
When he got home, Mr. Xiao was also there. Xiao Zexi announced solemnly, "I'm quitting the entertainment industry!"
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao opened their mouths in shock. They were looking at a photo album and reminiscing about the good old days. When they heard their son say that, they were shocked.
Mr. Xiao pushed up his glasses, "Is there something wrong with your head?"
Mrs. Xiao also asked anxiously, "That's right, son. Even if you're hurt, you shouldn't give up on yourself like this!
Xiao Zexi was speechless. He looked at them and knew that they were his biological parents.
Seeing that he was serious, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao felt that he was telling the truth. They put down the photo album in their hands and looked at him calmly. It felt like they were in a trial.
Mr. Xiao said, "Tell me. What happened?"
Xiao Zexi was speechless, "… I'm not. I'm just tired of it and want to stop."
Mr. Xiao sneered, "You're my son. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Xiao Zexi was speechless, "If you know, why are you still asking?"
Mr. Xiao was speechless. He really wanted to beat him up!
Mrs. Xiao tried to appease him, "You're not prepared to quit the entertainment industry. You don't have any skills. What else can you do other than the entertainment industry?"
Xiao Zexi was speechless. Was she saying that he was useless other than his face?
But he was firm, "I've already made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me. After I quit the industry, I'm going to take the civil service exam."
From then on, he would be the CEO, marry Sister Lin, and reach the peak of his life. Just thinking about it made him excited!
Mrs. Xiao reminded him kindly, "Son, we're not persuading you. We'll support you in whatever you want to do!"
Anyway, it was useless to not support him. Instead, it would arouse his rebellious nature. Mr. Xiao wanted him to go into the government, but Xiao Zexi insisted on going into the entertainment industry. His father was so angry that he beat him up, but it made him even more determined not to turn back.
He didn't like it that much. He was just a rebellious teenager. It wasn't too late for him to understand now.
Mrs. Xiao was secretly wondering if it had something to do with Sister Lin. That was her mother's intuition.
If that was the case, it would be great!
