Chapter 670: Chapter 670

They were all discussing—

"The historical drama he shot before was quite good, he acted very lively and clever, I thought he could only act in those kinds of roles, but I didn’t expect his acting to be so good!"

"Not only is his acting good, don’t you think he’s very handsome? His appearance is gentle, fresh as jade, and those eyes are particularly expressive. When he silently gazes at me, I feel like my heart is melting!"

"I’ve decided, from now on, I have one more male god!"

Ren Xiao’s opening performance without any NG took everyone in the crew by surprise, making them re-evaluate him.

Yu Yanyu and Qiu Zhenze were also watching from the side. After watching Ren Xiao’s performance, Qiu Zhenze’s tense expression immediately relaxed, his lips lifted slightly in a smile.

Ren Xiao’s acting had taken him by surprise as well!

Once again, Qiu Zhenze’s faith in Director Liu was renewed. Director Liu’s eye for talent was truly exceptional, having discovered a diamond in the rough.

In his ears, Yu Yanyu’s somewhat narcissistic voice chimed in: "Ren Xiao’s not bad, eh? His acting is almost as good as mine."

Qiu Zhenze silently gave him a look.

Yu Yanyu noticed and said with a smile, "Senior Qiu agrees with me, right?"

Qiu Zhenze: "...Actually, Ren Xiao’s acting is better than you—"

Before he could finish, Yu Yanyu interrupted: "I know, he’s still a bit weaker than me, but the kid is a dark horse, lying low and just waiting for the right moment to soar. I believe he hasn’t fully shown his true strength, so he should be about the same as me, maybe even a bit better."

Yu Yanyu really was the star he had met that left him speechless.

Perhaps being narcissistic to the point of ignorance is also a skill?

In his ear, Yu Yanyu’s voice continued: "Senior, am I right?"

Qiu Zhenze, fearing that telling the truth would cause trouble and get him annoyed to death by this kid, remained silent for a while and then hummed an affirmation.

If he’s happy, that’s good.

A smile appeared on Yu Yanyu’s face, and he walked over to Ren Xiao in high spirits. They patted each other on the shoulders, chatting and laughing, and looked to have a good relationship.

He Jinxia approached Qiu Zhenze at some point, saying with a smile: "Yanyu is quite amusing, isn’t he?"

Qiu Zhenze sighed: "Yes, I’ve never met anyone as narcissistic as him." Updates are released by novel-fire.ɴet

He Jinxia, picking up on the light tone in his voice, with a twinkle in her eyes, couldn’t help teasing: "Then you still don’t know him well enough. He’s not just narcissistic; he has many other amusing traits."

"But one thing I can affirm, he’s not the kind of star who would do anything for resources, because he’s never been lacking in that aspect," she said with implied meaning.

Qiu Zhenze’s gaze sharpened, and he nodded at her, "Thank you."

He Jinxia shook her head: "No need, we’re all friends."

She specifically gave Qiu Zhenze some hints today, considering the fact that he had a good temperament.

Although somewhat rigid in his ways, at heart, he was not bad, particularly in the entertainment circle where stars as self-disciplined as him were rare.

If he could become friends with Yu Yanyu, it would be good for Yanyu as well.

Yanyu’s nature was too capricious, lacking steadiness, and Qiu Zhenze could just be the right person to rein him in.

He Jinxia had no interest in pushing people to become good friends, but when she saw people she deemed appropriate, she would help if she could. The saying ’you’re influenced by the company you keep’ wasn’t just talk. She also wanted the people around her to be well.

But when it comes to friendship, it still depended on the individual.

The filming in March flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was April.

Several big events occurred in April, the biggest of which was dominated by Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan was invited by a famous foreign director and confirmed he would take on a new role in an upcoming movie, officially announcing it!

Since March, news about this movie had been gradually leaking, and bits of information had surfaced from Sheng Yan’s side, but neither the production team nor the actors had confirmed anything, leaving netizens to guess.

On April 1, just when the buzz had nearly died down, the team and the actors unexpectedly made a public announcement, reigniting interest in the movie.

[Dimension Space, it seems quite impressive. Is this a sci-fi movie?]

[It shouldn’t be a sci-fi movie. I saw the director say that it’s set against an urban background.]

[Urban background hhhh, why does my mind automatically go to urban supernatural powers?]

[Dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, space, plane, stereo... I also think this should have some relation to sci-fi.]

[Anyway, as long as it’s not an art film, it’s fine. Although I wish Emperor Sheng could win the grand slam of Movie King, I’d rather not see his commercial value decline. Art films have too niche a market, and if the box office doesn’t do well, there will be a bunch of people saying Emperor Sheng’s popularity has cooled.]

[The person above shouldn’t underestimate art films, okay? Art films also have their explosive moments, and look, Pang Hu, Emperor Sheng’s junior, her art film did quite well!]

[Can’t even hit the big box office milestone, and you call that doing well? I just LOL [spreads hands]]

Someway, somehow, the topic shifted to the debate about whether art films or commercial films are better.

[As an actor, as long as the script and role are good, the plot is good, then it’s worth taking on. Film works have no boundaries, no genre limitations, whether it’s a commercial film or an art film, they all have their value, so let’s not belittle one to promote the other, okay?]

[Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no number one in literature and no second in martial arts. In today’s environment, art films being ’cold’ has become a reality.

For stars to take on art films, unless they are aiming for awards and elevating their own status, who would dare to accept the role? A dismal box office will not only lower their influence but the key is that they don’t even perform that well.]

[He Jinxia’s art film is about to break the sales history of art films in our country, yet the box office hasn’t even reached the blockbuster mark, that’s just too pitiful.]

[You all have such high expectations. "Eighteen Years Old Sky" has only been released for half a month, and in half a month you expect them to hit blockbuster status; why don’t you ask other commercial films how many can reach that level within half a month?]

As the discussion went on, the netizens started to argue.

Meanwhile, the two people being discussed by the netizens were gathered in a hotel room.

He Jinxia snuck into the hotel fully armed, swiped her card, just opened the door, and was immediately pulled in by a certain wolf, who gave her a fierce wall slam.

She was about to speak when Sheng Yan kissed her, and the room was filled with nothing but low moans and heavy breathing.

After quite some time, Sheng Yan let her go.

Jinxia looked up at him, only to see the wolf still licking his lips with an air of unsatisfied hunger, making her body shiver involuntarily, feeling like she was the type of ’food’ others talked about.

Sheng Yan: "It’s getting dark, how about we go to sleep now?"

He Jinxia glanced at the brightly lit windows and gritted her teeth, "Pervert!"

Sheng Yan: "A gentleman loves beauty, and obtains it with respect."

He Jinxia looked down at the clawing hands on her body, spitefully said, "Scoundrel!"

Sheng Yan: "I only use my mouth, not my hands."

He Jinxia snorted, "Pervert!"

Suddenly, Sheng Yan smiled, "Shall I thoroughly prove it to you?"

He Jinxia: "...God damn it!"

There’s no point in arguing, she was whisked away in his arms.
