Starting Over in the Entertainment Circle (NPH)

Chapter 134: In-character and out-of-character

Soon after that, word of engagement between the Gong and Sun families broke in all news headlines. The titles were about them being childhood sweethearts, a perfect match for each other, and their wedding of the century that would be held in the old castle of Paris in France.

Yan Xi did not contact Gong Yun Ting from then until the end. And during this time, in contrast to her, Gong Yun Ting was too busy to do anything else, so he couldn’t contact her. But Yan Xi wasn’t able to gain some peace because of this too, because Gong Yun Ting had publicly announced that he was passionately pursuing Yan Xi before, so when the news of engagement broke, Yan Xi became their target of questioning.

<Chang Sheng>’s premiere got off to a flying start. Its first three episodes on the first day obtained very excellent results of more than five hundred million views.

As the main male and female leads, Yan Zi Xun and Yan Xi’s notices were arranged together these few days. They worked together on the promotion of their new drama. Both of them collaborated together and did their best to present their sweetness.

When they were interviewed, Yan Xi was asked about Gong Yun Ting’s engagement many times.

Because they never publicly admitted that they were together, Yan Xi could still smile gently and decently in front of the camera. The response she gave was also: “I give him my blessings.”

However, the media would try to make things difficult for her by asking various types of tricky questions in an attempt to get more views. Yan Xi did not answer, but they would still continue to ask. Then they gave her the title ‘Saddened expression, shattered dream of entering a wealthy family’.

On the second day of activity promotion, the mic was directed to her again to ask these questions. Yan Zi Xun directly snatched the mic away and told the reporters: “Sorry, we will not answer any question that has nothing to do with <Chang Sheng>.”

<Chang Sheng> already had an existing fanbase, the drama did its best to recreate the original novel while also complementing and enhancing the storyline. With quality costumes and excellent special effects, as well as the touching portrayals by the handsome and beautiful leads, combined with enthusiastic support by the fans, <Chang Sheng> became popular once it began airing. The compact storylines with its ups and downs also went on to initiate some heated discussions on the top searches.

Because its popularity was unexpectedly high, the post-production of the main crew naturally also needed to keep up with it.

Just counting the number of variety shows and interviews, Yan Xi and Yan Zi Xun had gone to many of them. On weibo, they even interacted frequently according to the development of the story. During this time, they could be considered as living together.

The drama fans expressed a lot of satisfaction.

After some time, Chun Jie and Yan Zi Xun’s managing companies decided on their popularity level after multiple discussions. They would cook up some gossip about their “feelings becoming real” and “developed feelings from acting together”.

Chun Jie made the preparations: “Which is to find people to ‘take secret photographs’ of both of you ‘on a date’, and ‘reveal’ them at appropriate times. You don’t need to worry, just… just like how our big boss was pursuing you at that time, don’t admit it and don’t deny it, just leave the rest to me.”

The big boss that Chun Jie mentioned was naturally referring to Gong Yun Ting.

Talking about Gong Yun Ting, Chun Jie’s expression still looked a bit unnatural. She scrutinized Yan Xi in detail without leaving any trace. Perhaps Chun Jie also thought that logically, Yan Xi ought to be sad when she found out about Gong Yun Ting and Sun Wan Qing’s engagement.

Yan Xi acted like she didn’t notice it as she smiled lightly and said: “If both parties have come to a consensus about this, then I don’t have a problem on my side as well.”

“Of course we’ve discussed this.” Chun Jie was quite proud: “Yan Zi Xun’s side was yearning for it. Now in the eyes of the CP fans, no matter if it was Fu Sheng CP or Zi Xi CP, both were shippable, of course we should take this opportunity! Besides, you have more fans than him and are also more famous than him, so why would his side disagree on this?”

Chun Jie liked to compliment her, but Yan Xi was always the more realistic one, so she only smiled and said: “If this drama becomes popular, he’ll also become popular.”

“Isn’t it?” Chun Jie also exclaimed: “Yan Zi Xun’s life was so interesting that it was enough to shoot a movie. He was handsome and popular as a child actor, his debut work was the one who shot him to fame, but unfortunately it was only momentarily as he disappeared among the sea of the entertainment circle. But who would have imagined that after ten years, he would become popular again overnight, to jump up to become the ‘top star’ in his thirties?”

When Chun Jie thought about Yan Zi Xun, she also thought about Yan Xi. Both of their experiences were similar in some ways, they both became popular overnight because of one right drama, rising up to be a star. She couldn’t help but to proclaim this miracle: “Things that happen in this world are really unpredictable, thirty years can really change a person a lot!”

After saying that, Chun Jie leaned closer to touch Yan Xi’s smooth and tender cheek: “If you ask me, Yan Zi Xun still got all his luck from our Xi Xi. Our Xi Xi has this ability of making every drama she acts in to become very popular!”
