Virtual Superstar Breeding Diary

Chapter 82 Farewell to Single

The midsummer wind blows across the cheeks, like a lover's fiery kiss, which cannot be resisted.

Xiao Chi stayed in the nursing home for a few days, but he couldn't stay any longer.He recovered very quickly, his nerve reaction speed was weakened, but his physical fitness was still there. The bandage was removed, and there was only a suture line left on the injured part.

Since the finalization of "Inner Devil", a pile of notices have accumulated, all in Liu Bing's hands. Xiao Chi has been haunted for the past few days, until Liu Bing came to the door aggressively, and found that he was injured, and gave him another round of reprimands.

Asked about the details of the injury, Xiao Chi refused to say, with evasive eyes, Liu Bing couldn't help being suspicious: "You didn't fight Mr. Ji, did you?"

Xiao Chi coughed twice, and carefully shook his neck: "No, no, absolutely not."

He thought to himself, if he fought with Ji Chenxuan, could he be the one who was injured?

Due to Ji Chenxuan's face, he dare not say this.

"It's fine." Seeing this, Liu Bing stopped looking into it, turned on the tablet, and reported to him the recent important announcements and high-quality endorsements one by one.

"...This variety show is the most popular one of the national host Li Mingyue. The stars invited are all big names. There are also the next two movies and a TV series. I screened for you. The script and characters are all good Carefully selected, in addition, new songs should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and strive to hold the first solo concert at the end of the year, as well as endorsement of a well-known luxury perfume abroad..."

Liu Bing chattered non-stop, and wrote and drew on the tablet with the electronic pen in his hand. In just a few minutes, Xiao Chi's work for the next half a year was clearly arranged. I have a day off, and I wrote a note on it.

Xiao Chi rubbed his forehead that had grown a lot, and interrupted him embarrassingly: "Wait, well, variety shows and endorsements are okay, but new plays, new songs, and concerts, I'm afraid they can't do it now..."

Liu Bing frowned: "Why? Isn't it just a small injury? I think you're recovering pretty well. Now is the period when your popularity is on the rise. If you don't release new works while the iron is hot, don't you want to wait until your popularity is gone before regretting it?" and?"

Xiao Chi scratched his head: "I have already told the teacher that I will go to Wutong University to study music for a period of time. In addition, I also need you to help me find a mentor and help me polish my acting skills. I want to start from a young age. Cost films are starting to hone in."

Liu Bing looked puzzled: "You're not kidding me, are you? With your skills, do you need to study music? You also need a tutor to polish your acting skills? You won the best newcomer in your first work, and now you still need to spend a small amount of money. Is the movie starting to practice?"

Xiao Chi's two pitch-black eyes rolled around, and suddenly he puffed up his chest, and said righteously: "Of course, people can't be complacent when they have a little achievement, they are self-sufficient, there is no end to the pursuit of strength, acting and singing skills are always on the road !"

"..." Liu Bing glanced at him silently, and tested the temperature of his forehead with the palm of his hand, "Baby, do you feel uncomfortable in your head? Do you want to call the doctor to check again?"

Xiao Chi: "..."

Liu Bing withdrew her hand, frowning and paced back and forth: "Who taught you to talk nonsense?"

Xiao Chi stuffed the phone under the quilt, blinked innocently: "Lu Xun's Quotations."

"..." The corner of Liu Bing's mouth twitched, "Lu Xun never said that!"

He sat down by the bed with a solemn face: "What happened? Can't you tell me?"

Xiao Chi hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "From my debut to the present, it is better to rely on luck than strength, but there are always many ups and downs in life, and no one can have smooth sailing, but fortunately, I am still young and have a lot of skills I am willing to use my efforts to make up for some lost things, in short, I will definitely return to the big screen as soon as possible.”

Liu Bing was confused by what he heard, but from his eyes, he sensitively caught a trace of undeniable determination.

He frowned and asked, "Have you discussed with Mr. Ji?"

"Well, he agrees."

Liu Bing sighed leisurely: "If that's the case, then it's up to you. Although I don't know what happened these days, I believe that our little sweet cub will not let everyone down."

As he said that, he snorted Xiao Chi's soft short chestnut hair, and his face, which was always deliberately stern on weekdays, now had a slight smile.

※※※

More than two months after Xiao Chi was discharged from the hospital, the first movie "The Devil" starring him was finally released in major theaters.

A literary film that describes the inner world of a mental patient, a redemption intertwined with demons and angels, in the end it is not a happy and happy ending to reach the pinnacle of life, but an outright tragedy.

A low-cost suspense movie, a niche among niche themes, no matter how hard the announcement is made, except for Xiao Chi's own die-hard fans, it can't attract many passers-by to pay for tickets. The first day of filming is not satisfactory, and it is still declining day by day .

Compared with competitors in the same period, the box office of "The Demon" is obviously a hit. As early as the beginning of the project, director Lin Lu was mentally prepared for this. The only thing that surprised him was that the film's popularity on the Internet Word of mouth has been unanimously praised.

One week after its release, the authoritative media's evaluation scores far left the other films in the same period far behind, and it has become the highest-rated film since director Lin Lu's career as a director.It's a pity that it is always applauded but not popular.

As a real deal, Xiao Chi's performance is naturally inevitable to be judged by others.

One person plays multiple roles, there is no sense of disobedience, especially the different psychological states of different roles, coupled with the highly recognizable face, it has attracted a wave of passerby fans and niche fans.

Originally, when he won the best newcomer, the voice of ridiculing shady operations on the Internet had to disappear under such a powerful interpretation, but as soon as the box office rankings came out, the sunspots instantly found a new entry point, mocking the box office poison with vigor .

All of a sudden, various negative labels such as "I can't afford the box office", "I can't afford it", "the performance is not worthy of the resources" and so on, fans are holding back their breath and have nowhere to vent, so they can only hold back their anger. Swallow it, at most rely on movie ratings to win respect.

Some producers and managers who were originally interested in Xiao Chi had no choice but to refrain from contacting him after seeing such box office results, and then re-evaluate his commercial value.

Just when the two groups of people were arguing with each other on the social platform, Yang Zhisheng, the director of "Chaoyang", who had just won the Best Film Award at the Baiming Film Festival, stood up to support Xiao Chi to everyone's surprise:

"What's the fuss about? This kid is the most talented guy I've ever seen among his peers. He didn't drag this movie down, but made it a success. Some people can't write a few in-depth movie reviews, but Xiu Wuzhi is a good hand."

As soon as this remark came out, it became a trending search within a few hours, and passers-by who watched enthusiastically left messages: "Director Yang is still so irritable. After winning the award, he is even more irritable."

"What? Director Yang actually praised the actors? I thought he would only scold people."

Lin Lu, the director of "The Devil", also immediately came off the stage in real life, and vividly performed a standard "Xiao Chenchui":

"The pot at the box office belongs to me, and the credit to word of mouth belongs to him. For those who close their eyes and spout nonsense, I suggest that if you don't need eyeballs, please donate them to those who love hot pot."

Xiao Chi's fans were stunned and weeping with joy. The Twitter Plaza looked like it was Chinese New Year:

"I lost, I am Shen Shen's Mama, and I am not as good as the director, an outsider who can blow it!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooophone""

This wave of quarrels on social platforms has brought a wave of enthusiasm to the movie, but it has not changed the tragic fact that the box office is at the bottom.

In the past three months, Xiao Chi ran to Wutong University every day. The teachers and students of the Music Department and the Performance Department were surprised at the beginning, but they got used to it later, and they would chat and say hello to him.

Apart from occasionally participating in variety shows and receiving endorsements, his topicality and exposure have gradually declined, and he has gradually faded out of the audience's sight. Many media film critics lamented that such a good Ziwei star has disappeared from everyone like this?

Until autumn, the most watched film event in the second half of the year, the Golden Sun Film Festival, was grandly held at the Twilight Dome Theater in Beijing.

Xiao Chi walked the red carpet in a low-key manner, entered the venue in a low-key manner, and appeared in the exhibition of the nominated works for the best actor of the year in a low-key manner.

The nomination of the leading actor in this movie was beyond everyone's expectations. No one would believe that Xiao Chi would be so lucky to win another Best Actor after being lucky enough to win the Best Newcomer just now. It seems that only director Lin Lu has full confidence in Xiao Chi.

With the birth of awards one after another, the atmosphere of the venue was gradually pushed to a climax. Whether it was the guest stars inside the venue or the audience outside the venue, they were all looking forward to the next highlight.

The main stage was brilliantly illuminated by the bright spotlights. The three-dimensional projection screen scrolled and played the shortlisted works and nominated candidates. The host loudly invited new guests to the stage and announced the best actor award.

On the live broadcast platform, Xiao Chi's fans watched this scene nervously, not daring to blink, for fear that they would not see the historic moment when their main character won the Best Actor, which would lead to wild ridicule from his opponents, "The face is too big, a basin Can't fit."

Xiao Chi was still sitting in the back row, looking at the direction of the main stage from a distance, his eyes were calm and his heart was calm.

In the past, he yearned for the stage, standing in the center of people's attention, becoming the most eye-catching star, sought after, loved and needed by everyone, to prove that he is unique and irreplaceable.

Today's state of mind is completely different.

He doesn't need to be loved by so many people, as long as Ji Chenxuan is irreplaceable in his heart, he will be satisfied. As for the road to stardom, it has become his interest.

Xiao Chi fiddled with the bracelet with his head down, and was about to read the comments and bullet screens in the live broadcast room, but the host excitedly announced the names of the award presenters: "Mr. Best Actor winner at the Golden Sun Film Festival!"

Xiao Chi raised his head in surprise. Ji Chenxuan, who was dressed in a pure black suit, had already stepped into the main stage slowly from the side of the aisle, lighting up his eyes with his own elegance and demeanor.

Ji Chenxuan was dressed up today, with a satin pocket square on his left chest, and a bow tie of brushed twill specially chosen this morning, elegant and solemn.

He took the microphone from the host, and glanced at Xiao Chi's direction from afar, pouring toward him like a boundless deep sea.

Ji Chenxuan stood there simply, exuding a unique temperament all over his body, more dazzling than all the stars in the audience.

The host was chatting and joking with him, when he spotted an extra platinum ring on his ring finger, he gasped exaggeratedly: "Mr. Ji, is it a happy event for you?"

Ji Shenxuan, who has topped the single rich list for three consecutive years, is finally about to bid farewell to his single career in the fourth year?

Xiao Chi slowly widened his eyes, sat up straight, leaned forward slightly involuntarily, his chest thumped.
