In fact, when one looks at the rise to fame of some of the current stars in the entertainment industry, Xi Ze will be very surprised to find that the operation of the entertainment industry in the future world is more diversified and three-dimensional.
In Xi Ze’s era, for a star to become popular, exposure was key. How to increase exposure? Mainly through the operation of the entertainment management companies, a part of which relied on the seemingly elusive rumors and gossip. Rumors were a passport for many stars to increase their exposure at the time, and almost everyone applied it, with ordinary people also happy to see the private lives of the stars, and the stars also got used to this way of becoming famous. Even though Xi Ze was a screen emperor who made his name by acting in TV dramas, he would occasionally bring in a few new faces and help them gain popularity in their early stages.
However, the operation of the entertainment industry in the future is all kinds of diverse, and more perfect. Xi Ze had inquired about this from Jian Anning, and some stars will not have any rumors from the beginning of their debut to the time they become famous, which is also a model of operation. From the very beginning, the image of a star is well-defined, and as long as there are no major mistakes, the star’s career path will be smooth and stable, and they will gain a lot of respect.
And Arnold is one of those.
In the early stage of his fame, there were no rumors at all, he diligently acted in movies, hardly participated in any interviews or entertainment programs, and also turned down all the TV station’s celebratory galas, only attending necessary events. In the eyes of his fans, Arnold is not only an artist, but an existence like a high and mighty deity, he has an awe-inspiring divinity that is unattainable, and his fans can make small jokes online, but absolutely cannot cross a certain line.
Arnold’s fans love him and have always respected him, so from the beginning, no one wanted to joke around with him and Xi Ze. Even when they first learned that Xi Ze and Arnold had co-starred in a movie and a TV show, they didn’t have any fantasies in their hearts. But the online troops later tracked down countless “coincidences” as proof…
With so much evidence put together, even if you deny it yourself, we won’t believe it!!
When Arnold first saw the pop-up real-time news, he just raised his eyebrow, thinking it was some short-sighted media talking nonsense, after all, over the years, there would occasionally be some similar news that was not even worth catching as a rumor.
But when he clicked on it and saw Xi Ze’s photo on the screen, Arnold’s brow did furrow a little.
Sam, standing beside him, saw the expression on Arnold’s face and his heart jumped, thinking it was not good. He went over to Arnold and said, “It should be the media catching a rumor and talking nonsense, I’ll go back and tell them to take the news down.”
But Arnold blocked Sam’s outstretched hand, exited the factual news, and logged in to the social networking site with Sam’s account. As soon as he logged in, he found that the fans under his studio’s official account were already in an uproar.
Arnold opened the comments and read a few, at first not understanding, after all, he basically didn’t go online, and it was only recently that he had been looking online in the course of seeking a breakthrough in his career –
“God, come out and make it clear!!”
“God, you dare say this is not true love? I don’t believe it! God, come on!”
“God, you’ve put in so much, we feel so sorry for you! But still, tell us?”
…
What’s going on? Say whether his relationship with Xi Ze is as rumored online?! Arnold ignored these comments, he directly clicked on the first trending analysis of his and Xi Ze’s relationship, and as he read through it, his eyebrows raised sharply!
Sam knew that Arnold never went online, and this was the first time he had seen Arnold reveal such an expression after browsing the web page. He hurriedly said, “Don’t look anymore, don’t look anymore, it should be a misunderstanding by the fans. I’ll…”
But Arnold suddenly looked up, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and said, “It’s quite a coincidence.”
“Eh??” Sam didn’t expect Arnold to react this way, making him somewhat confused. What did Arnold mean by that? Not angry? Wasn’t he the one who hated these rumors that didn’t even exist the most? The fans said that and he wasn’t angry? God, wake up! The one in the news was no one else but you!
But Arnold seemed to really not care at all, casually browsed through it again, and then logged out of the account and put the screen away, telling Sam, “You can post a clarification on the official account…”
Sam heaved a sigh of relief, this was more like the normal Arnold, but before he could speak, he heard Arnold sitting across from him add, “But the fans probably won’t believe it, and think I’m deliberately avoiding the relationship, so it’s better not to explain.”
Sam: “……………….” Wait, something doesn’t seem quite right?
Arnold stood up, with one hand in his pocket, and walked out. Sam raised his neck and followed his gaze, looking at his tall figure and the faint aura around him. He got up and chased after him, puzzled, “Arnold, didn’t you hate these rumors that don’t even exist the most? The fans are fantasizing about you and you’re not angry?”
After all, Arnold’s fans were an incomparable existence, they had always worshiped him like a belief.
But Arnold just glanced down at him and asked, “When this kind of news used to come out, how did the fans react?”
Sam didn’t even think and said, “Of course they cursed the editors and reporters who released the news!” This story is hosted at g.com.
Arnold: “What about this time?”
Sam was stunned, and only now did he remember that he hadn’t had time to look. He took out the mobile screen and took a look, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. This time, no one was cursing! Everyone was applauding??!!
What’s this “God and Xi Ze are just perfect”?
What’s this “We bless you”?
What’s this “God, you really pamper Xi Ze”??
Someone tell him, who the hell posted a wedding photo of Arnold and Xi Ze in the chapel!! I’m going to bite you to death!
Did Arnold see all these things? See them and not get angry?
Sam found it unbelievable, and involuntarily looked up in amazement and said, “You’re really not angry?”
But Arnold suddenly smiled, a very magnanimous and unconcerned smile, as if he had mountains and rivers in his heart, not caring about such a small matter at all: “Why be angry? The fans’ enthusiasm is a good thing.”
That tone was so calm, but somehow Sam saw a king-like, untouchable aura from Arnold!! And if he also thought about the previous casual smile on Xi Ze’s face, damn, they really suit each other, don’t they!!
ORZ! Kneeled! How come even he has this feeling now.
Of course Arnold didn’t need to care about this kind of thing, his relationship with the Silver Fox’s top management was very good, and Silver Fox would absolutely not casually stir up controversy with him. He was very clear that this incident was not deliberately incited by someone, on the one hand it was indeed due to the carelessness of the “Dragon Sparrow” movie’s publicity side that led to the misunderstanding, and on the other hand there were indeed many coincidences between him and Xi Ze.
Arnold had been through wind and rain in the entertainment industry for so many years, and had seen and experienced everything. He was a person with a very firm and solid inner heart, not easily shaken. No matter how big the event that happened to him, he would be more rational and clear-headed than anyone else.
Later, Sam contacted Jian Anning, and after communication between the two parties, it was found to be a misunderstanding.
Jian Anning was extremely distressed, how could a simple publicity stunt turn out like this? She asked Sam on the communication, “Didn’t Arnold get angry?”
Sam wanted to say that Arnold was very self-assured, but thinking about it, he still said, “No problem, you know what kind of person he is, the whole world can go crazy but he won’t. He said it himself, it’s not your guys’ fault, it’s just a misunderstanding, too many coincidences.”
Jian Anning was inwardly spitting blood, yeah, how could there be so many coincidences that ended up becoming evidence? It’s like the heavens are helping them match up!
The Silver Fox’s top management, including was also completely unprepared for the way things had developed, and Xia Li specifically communicated with Arnold to explain, and Arnold expressed understanding and no major problem. But as soon as Xia Li hung up the communication, he was stunned to find that the situation had changed again!
Selina, as the official female lead of the “Dragon Sparrow” film, after discovering that the online comments were turning increasingly unfavorable, actually posted a statement on her personal social media, directly saying that the fans had misunderstood, and that she was the female lead of “Dragon Sparrow”, and then posted several photos of herself and Arnold rehearsing on the set.
When Xia Li saw Selina’s post, he was almost ready to flip the office desk. He had always known that this woman was competitive and vain, but he didn’t expect that at this time she would actually post something like this!!
Stupid! Very stupid!! Extremely stupid!!
Arnold, the main character, didn’t make any public statement when the fans were discussing the hottest, just not wanting the fans to think they were covering up and then the discussion would become even more heated.
Now the situation has actually exceeded expectations very much, and no one could have foreseen that this would happen, but the best way at this time is to shut up and explain nothing! This was originally a mess caused by the “Dragon Sparrow” film’s publicity team, and it was natural for the film’s publicity team to have further explanation.
Selina couldn’t stand it, afraid that people didn’t know she was the female lead, couldn’t help but issued a statement, only making the fans argue more fiercely!!
Xia Li was simply furious, she was no longer a newcomer but already a young diva, how could she still act so unstable!! Can’t she just hold on for a while? Grabbing a temporary moment of face, good or bad, but not knowing what’s waiting for her in the future!
At that time, Jian Anning had already contacted Xia Li, Tom, and Sam, and Arnold expressed that he didn’t care and wouldn’t make any statement; Xia Li also felt that it was best not to make any response at this time, and Tom on the film’s side was actually quite surprised but also very satisfied with the current result, after all, they needed a certain response for publicity and promotion. Now, with this little misunderstanding, they would of course give an explanation afterwards.
At the time, the various parties contacted felt that no one should respond that night, and they would talk about it afterwards, but they never expected Selina to stick her oar in at this time. This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
Xi Ze was almost speechless, when Arnold said he wouldn’t make any response, he felt that the god-like Arnold was still the god-like Arnold, but Selina’s EQ and patience were surprisingly low, could she really not hold it for one night?!
Selina’s statement was posted on her personal social media, and was soon mocked by the fans.
After all these years, Arnold had always been like a god-like existence, and no one had ever been able to fantasize about him with anyone. Finally there was Xi Ze, and they were excitedly discussing all kinds of things when suddenly someone splashed them with a bucket of cold water. How could the fans not be resentful?
Selina was not a newly debuted Asian newcomer Xi Ze, nor was she Arnold, she was a young diva with both fans and haters, so when she made this hasty statement, the haters took the lead in group mockery, and then the bystander fans followed up with mockery of her low EQ.
Xi Ze was browsing the social media at home, almost speechless, Jian Anning just coldly laughed and said, “Selina is a very eager and impatient woman, she’s afraid the fans will fantasize about you and Arnold too much, and Tom will simply change the script and give all the heroine’s storyline to you, letting you and Arnold play a couple.”
Xi Ze thought about it and said, “Why is she so anxious?” Usually stars are very careful, at this time when most of them are silent without explanation, why is she adding fuel to the fire?
Jian Anning seemed to understand the situation well and said, “When I took her in, she was feuding with another male star, stirring up a huge scandal. At that time she was still filming a TV drama, and she forcibly replaced the original female lead and acted as the female lead herself. She has done this kind of thing before, and now she’s afraid, so she’s anxious.”
Xi Ze was taken aback, and only then did he realize that the publicity and promotion of movies and TV dramas nowadays was somewhat different from their time. Because the degree of commercialization was higher, changing the script or replacing the lead actor at the beginning of filming in response to fan demands was a normal routine, and normal actors should get used to it.
The power of the online army was beyond imagination, and soon Selina was mocked by the fans into deleting the statement, and then the small diva Ivy who had always been at odds with Selina reposted that apology post, with a light tone, replying, “When I was filming ‘Heavenly Love’, you snatched my boyfriend and squeezed out the female one role, now you’re worried about being squeezed out of the female lead role?”
What!! There’s such a juicy story? The netizens were all going crazy, not only did this sleepless night bring the Asian newcomer and expose the extraordinary relationship between Arnold and Xi Ze, damn, now there’s this juicy story too!!
Dig it!! Anyway, no one was planning to sleep!
Xi Ze, before going to bed, was speechless as he finished reading Awei’s reply, turned off the screen and hugged the pillow to sleep. Ah, sure enough, this is the entertainment circle he’s familiar with.
Xi Ze’s promotion work was fully handled by Xia Li, and Jian Anning didn’t need to worry about it. The next day, she still took Xi Ze to the set to shoot.
Xi Ze no longer starved, having supplemented his nutrition and slept well, he looked particularly energetic when he walked out of the house in the morning sunlight, his skin glowing with a layer of pink.
After last night, Jian Anning found that Xi Ze’s mentality didn’t seem to be at all impulsive, still so calm and tranquil, not the slightest bit of arrogance because of his sudden rise to fame, Jian Anning thought he didn’t know he had become popular, and specially reminded him, “You became popular yesterday.”
Xi Ze turned back and said, “I know.”
Jian Anning spread her arms, “Aren’t you happy or excited?”
Xi Ze said, “Compared to becoming popular because of my Asian appearance, I should care more about whether my acting and works are worthy of the support of the fans, right?!”
Jian Anning nodded approvingly, really liking Xi Ze more and more, they were just walking out on the runway when Sam came down from Arnold’s flying car parked nearby.
Sam looked at Xi Ze leaving and said to Arnold, “You know, this is the first time I’ve met a new person with such a calm and unruffled attitude, ah, if the new people nowadays were all like this, the old stars in the entertainment circle would go crazy.”
Arnold got out of the other side, looked in the direction Xi Ze had left, and raised his chin slightly.
It was an indoor scene that day, according to Tom’s usual filming habits, they would basically finish the indoor shots before shooting the others.
But Xi Ze and Arnold entered the crew one after the other, and were immediately called over by the assistant director for a meeting.
The meeting place was in a built indoor set, Jian Anning and Xi Ze had been in for less than two minutes when Arnold and Sam came in.
Soon, the director came in with the scriptwriter of the male-male pair, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, “Selina has caused a big mess this time, I’m going to delete all her scenes, now I’m here to ask you, do you want to do a male-male storyline?!”
Author’s Note: Selina has really dug her own grave _(:」∠)_
