Chapter 20

At 7 p.m., when most people were winding down after dinner, looking for entertainment, those who logged onto Silver Fox Entertainment’s website were in for a shock. They initially thought the site had been hacked, as it was unusual for the homepage to display such a large promotional photo. In the past, even when Arnold, a major star, was promoted, the photo used only covered two-thirds of the page. This new photo’s prominence suggested an even higher status than Arnold, causing astonishment and speculation among fans.

The sudden switch back to the normal homepage, with the promotional photo still prominently featured, clarified that this wasn’t the work of a hacker but an intentional promotional move by Silver Fox. This meant the handsome Asian face belonged to a new artist under their banner.

The significance of this promotional photo was enormous. It confirmed the young man was not a digitally created image by a hacker but a real, live artist newly signed to Silver Fox Entertainment. This revelation excited fans, as pure-blooded Asians were increasingly rare in the entertainment industry, making such a debut highly anticipated and valuable.

Silver Fox had previously thrilled fans with an Asian boy band, stirring excitement for months. The introduction of a new artist with pure Asian features—black eyes and hair—was a major event, hinting at the scarcity and special status of pure-blooded Asians in the entertainment galaxy. Fans were ecstatic at the prospect of a new artist who could act, appear on shows, and be the subject of countless photos for them to adore.

The fans following the Silver Fox official website exploded with excitement across the internet. Social media was quickly flooded with reposts of the promotional photo, and countless fans were screaming with excitement. As they reposted on their own social media, they added the words “Welcome newcomer.”

However, amidst the excitement, there was also frustration. The Silver Fox official website had only posted this photo without any other updates! The large image couldn’t be clicked on, and fans searched every corner of the website but couldn’t find any other photos or related information about the Asian newcomer. What was even more unbearable was… the lack of a name!!

How could you post a photo without writing the name? The graphic designer at Silver Fox, if you dare show your face, I guarantee your own mother wouldn’t recognize you!!

Jian Anning posted the photo half a minute before Avril’s repost. And in just ten minutes, countless people were leaving comments below the FW, asking for the newcomer’s name. Many of them said, “If you don’t tell us the newcomer’s name soon, we’ll line up outside your door and hang ourselves!!”

Finally, before 8 PM, Jian Anning posted another photo. This time, it was Xi Zi looking up at the camera with a faint smile. The caption was very official and simple: “Thank you for your support. This is the newcomer I’m managing, Asian, named Xi Zi.”

Ah ah ah ah ah, Xi Zi, Xi Zi, Xi Zi, Xi Zi, Xi Zi… even the name sounds so pleasant!! The name and the person are just too perfect for each other!! Countless people on social media were spreading the word, reposting the FW while shouting, “Welcome Xi Zi! Welcome newcomer! Xi Zi, you’re absolutely gorgeous!!”

Meanwhile, the artists and staff of Silver Fox finally began to react. After Avril, many big stars reposted Jian Anning’s FW to show support for the newcomer. Even some middle and senior management made statements. The official social media of Silver Fox also responded with a simple message, which, when clicked, was both hilarious and exasperating.

The image depicted a cartoon character crying with a handkerchief in hand, accompanied by a few lines of text: “Silver Fox fans, could you please wait a moment before refreshing the official website? The server is about to crash, and our programmers can’t update the homepage. We apologize!!” Surrendering on our knees. “I can only confess now, the newcomer’s name is Xi Zi, a brand-new artist who just signed with us this year. Pure Asian, no dyed hair, eyes pure black. I swear!!”

The fans were furious. Have time to act cute but no time to update a few more photos for us to see!! Who cares if you swear four times!! We can see that the hair is not dyed and the eyes are pure black!! Are you blind, we’re not!! Hurry up and get lost!!

The official editor of Silver Fox’s social media ran away in tears.

Asians are so rare that just a few photos have already ignited the passions of everyone. Even ordinary people who don’t usually pay much attention to entertainment news were excited to hear about a pure-blooded Asian in the entertainment industry. It felt like a giant had finally emerged from the land of dwarfs, and the whole country was celebrating, everyone was ecstatic.

Finally, at half past eight, the Silver Fox official page refreshed again, and this time, they revealed a bombshell. They posted all seven sets of promotional photos that Xi Zi used during the exchange meeting, and the number of photos was much more than at the meeting, totaling a whopping one hundred and twenty-one! Xi Zi’s personal official information also appeared on the homepage.

This was not just a feast for the fans; even ordinary people who don’t usually pay attention to entertainment news joined in the excitement, caught up in the fervor.

After Silver Fox released the photos from the exchange meeting, the major mainstream media, which had previously held back on publishing news, couldn’t hold back any longer. Photos of Xi Zi walking the red carpet with the array of artists were quickly published on real-time entertainment news—white suit, black hair, black eyes, with a faint smile towards the camera.

The madness of this night had only just begun.

After several collapses and paralysis of the website, the Silver Fox’s personal official page for Xi Zi was finally completed. Within an hour, the number of followers reached twenty million. Xi Zi’s official information, promotional photos, and previous news from the exchange meeting were all organized on the page. At the same time, Xi Zi’s recent work schedule was also posted on the homepage of the personal website.

When “Dragon Sparrow” and “Player” appeared on the page, everyone who was paying attention was dazzled! At first, they thought they were mistaken, some even thought there was a problem with their network and they had been redirected from Xi Zi’s website to Arnold’s website. But upon closer inspection, damn, this was indeed Xi Zi’s page!!

“Dragon Sparrow”!! “Player”!!? My Xi Zi, a newcomer, is teaming up with Arnold right after his debut??!!

This news was undoubtedly another torpedo in the heavyweight bombshell, overturning the entire industry inside and out. Fans glued to their screens tearfully declared that Xi Zi must be amazing!! Everyone knows Arnold’s personality, being able to work with Arnold in a movie and then in a blockbuster show this year, my Xi Zi must be on top of the world, sweeping through thousands of troops and horses!! If he can even handle Arnold, what can’t he handle in the future??!

The news kept pouring in one after another. Over at “Player,” they hadn’t started official promotion yet because they had just finalized the program lineup. However, the “Dragon Sparrow” crew had already started filming officially, and the official website for promotion was ready.

So quickly, the official website of “Dragon Sparrow” also became a gathering place for fans. How could Tom, a director known for commercial films, miss such a great opportunity? That very evening, the publicity team released promotional posters.

The poster featured a gray-black battlefield as the background, with Arnold in camouflage clothing in front of it. Half of his face was covered by a mask, and his icy blue eyes stared fearlessly ahead. He held a long spear in one hand, while the other hand held a struggling young man with an angry expression on his face. And that young man, with black eyes and black hair, was none other than the protagonist who had stirred the entire internet that night—Xi Zi!

Above the poster, in bold font, were the words: “Dragon Sparrow, a journey of guardianship and justice. Mid-October, landing with a bang, stay tuned!”

Everyone: “!!!!”
