Chapter 304: The Grand Finale (Three)

  Then, Zhou Xingchi and Hong Huang congratulated the Kangxi drama team on wrapping up. At the same time, Chen Jialin announced that the press conference for the promotion of Kangxi Dynasty would come to an end.

  As soon as it was over, the reporters rushed up with a "whoosh".

  Their goal is all aimed at Zhou Xingchi and Lin Xiao.

  Chen Jialin smiled at Lin Xiao and said, "Young man, go ahead, you can't escape today's calamity."

  Lin Xiao nodded, just about to stand up, when he suddenly found that the surging reporter team had already surrounded him tightly. More than a dozen microphones made him look like he was being besieged by more than a dozen old-fashioned hunting guns.

  He couldn't even see what was happening outside the human wall, but it seemed that Zhou Xingchi's side was also like this.

  Cami immediately became anxious and ran over a few steps, opening up a gap with lightning speed. She rushed forward to block Lin Xiao's path.

  "What's the hurry, come slowly and mind the safe distance." Her voice was not low, but it immediately calmed down these reporters.

  The reporters then slowly loosened their encirclement. But in the next second, they immediately fired a barrage of questions like machine guns.

  "Mr. Lin, may I ask when you had a detailed discussion with Director Zhou?"

  "Mr. Lin, may I ask if you know the list of actors?"

  "Mr. Lin..."

  Lin Xiao still maintained a smile "I didn't know the full list of actors, and I got to know Director Zhou several months ago. It was also introduced by someone else."

  Revealed a lot of information, but left more mysteries.

  "How can reporters give up easily, they hurriedly asked 'Don't know the full list? Then you must know part of it? Can you reveal a bit?' 'Which three mainland actors are there? Do you know?' 'Who recommended them? Is that person also one of the three mainland actors?'"

  "These, wait until the Shaolin soccer press conference two days later to ask." Lin Xiao naturally refused to reveal any more.

  "Mr. Lin, just say two sentences, just two sentences!" "Yes, Mr. Lin, can I ask how much your signing fee is? Is there an estimate?"

  "This is all I can say." Cami said, her face pale with rage, as she walked up to Lin Xiao and faced the reporters. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's press conference is for Kang Xi Wang Chao, not for Shaolin Soccer. Anything other than Kang Xi Wang Chao is none of your business."

  "My artist still has work to attend to, excuse me." After saying that, she pulled Lin Xiao and squeezed outwards.

  "Hey! Mr. Lin! Don't be in a hurry!" "Mr. Lin, I still have one last question..." "Mr. Lin, please answer this one for sure!"

  The reporters were not willing to give up and just as they were about to continue their pursuit, the police blocked them.

  "Damn it! I asked a total of three questions and only two can be quoted!" A reporter was extremely dissatisfied. "Still have to wait for two days!"

  "What's holding you back! Lin Xiao has left, and Zhou Xingchi too!"

  "Right!"

  The reporters immediately shifted their target and ran towards Zhou Xingchi. However, they found that there were already reporters interviewing Zhou Xingchi.

  Two groups of people stared at each other in dismay.

  "What about Zhou Dao?" "What about Lin Xiao?!"

  It was almost in unison that they asked, and only then did they realize that after the press conference ended, the two of them had left the scene at the first opportunity.

  Although he knew there might be such a situation, Chen Jialin's face still didn't look too good. It wasn't until the reporters started interviewing the Kangxi crew that his expression eased up a bit.

  Lin Xiao had been pulled back into the car by Cami for a while to rest.

  Only when I arrived at the scene did I realize how scary reporters can be. Lin Xiao let out a sigh and closed his eyes to calm himself down.

  "When dealing with reporters, you should say what needs to be said and leave when it's not necessary. They treat you the same way, praising you when you're popular and abandoning you when you're down. It's all about give-and-take, nothing to be ashamed of." Cami calmly advised, unaware that Lin Xiao had already known this.

  There is still a celebratory banquet at noon, actually the Kangxi Dynasty is not fully completed yet, there are some scenes that need to be re-shot and dubbed. The wrap-up party hasn't been held either. He can't leave now.

  After resting for a while, the phone rang.

  He picked it up and took a look, and surprisingly, it was a call from Qin Xin.

  "Is it over?" The other person's voice sounded light, but it made Lin Xiao's heart relax.

  "How come you haven't called for so long?" He didn't answer but asked back instead.

  "You didn't call me either?" Qin Xin said with some dissatisfaction. "What's the logic in letting me make the first move? Besides... I've got a lot on my plate this month. Not to mention phone calls, I'm not even allowed out the door..."

  "Huh?" Lin furrowed her brow "Then what about the filming of Kangxi Dynasty? Shouldn't it be in Hengdian this month?"

  Qin Xin hesitated for a moment before responding in an seemingly casual tone, "Forget it. Nothing."

  Anything else? Lin Xiao sighed and asked "Where are you now?"

  "Uh...this..." Qin Xin hesitated for half a day before asking "How about you?"

  She just reacted "Right... in Beijing. I just saw it on TV... I'll come to play with you in two weeks?"

  "What? Can't I come find you?"

  "......" Qin Xin didn't say anything for a while before saying "It's not very convenient now... Ah, time is up, see you later!"

  She hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

  Frowning, Cami asked "Whose?"

  "A friend." Lin Xiao put his phone in his pocket and said calmly.

  "Friend? The friend who gave you the bracelet?" Cami hummed, "You have to remember, before you have a large number of die-hard fans, you absolutely cannot reveal any concrete romance rumors."

  Lin Xiao murmured in agreement and continued resting.

  The next day, entertainment newspapers and magazines almost uniformly carried yesterday's press conference of the Kangxi Dynasty on their front pages.

  A magazine titled "Wow" was being squeezed and distorted in Song Qing's hands, his temples pulsating uncontrollably.

  "Can't even handle such a small matter?" The person sitting across from him was a fatty, with a slightly balding head and a pale, dead face, but his features were quite ordinary.

  Song Qingming closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, when he opened them again, everything had returned to normal.

  Pangzi's eyes swept across his pale finger joints, but he didn't say anything.

  "Uncle Yunshan, it's nothing." Song Qingming smiled and said "It's just that I feel a bit stifled watching this."

  Xu Yunshan looked him up and down for a while with an unclear expression, then suddenly said "You're not as good as him."

  A hint of coldness flashed across Song Qingming's eyes.

  Xu Yunshan ignored him and continued, "Look at the live broadcast, when Zhou Xingchi walked in, there was also Hong Huan. He absolutely knew what was going to happen. But his expression didn't show anything, this kind of composure, you can't compare to him."

  "In the crew, he can make Chen Jialin and Chen Daoming laugh happily, today they are vying to give him a head start, this roundness, you are not as good as him."

  "Being able to gain recognition from Hong Huang and Cai Wei Jie through a single design, Hong Huang even made an exception to attend in person. This creativity and ingenuity, you can't compare to him."

  Xu Yunshan sighed, "Cami is a formidable woman, but also a fiery one. After spending some time in the US, her personality became more straightforward, but she's also prone to offending people. Don't be fooled by her title as an Oscar-winning actress' agent, but compared to you, he's not as good."

  "There is a glow behind you, in contrast to the still unknown and shallow foundation of China. And then there's Zhao Qingya backing you up, but compared to your background, he can't match up."

  "Even if he recently created a ten-day streak of red, the company wants to make you a top star. Although your name hasn't resonated yet, film offers are constant. Compared to prospects, he's not as good as you."

  Finally, Xu Yunshan summed it up: "You two are now half a catty and eight taels, unfortunately, the most critical point. Your heart is too heavy, always thinking that as a proud son of heaven, you will be surpassed by an abandoned son. I see that he has never done such actions. If you don't withdraw your gaze from him, you will never catch up."

  Song Qingming didn't speak, Xu Yunshan was his agent and also the golden agent who made all the popular young stars of Tian Guang famous. He had been in the domestic circle for over a decade, and whether it was experience or qualifications, he was unparalleled.

  "I'm just fed up." He gritted his teeth and said, "Why can he, a discarded son, have such a huge change? In the past year or so in Tianguang, I've been held back by them all along."

  Xu Yunshan smiled and didn't comment, suddenly asking "What did Zhao Qingya say?"

  "She just said Lin Xiao is annoying."

  "That's enough." Xu Yunshan said "You didn't become a superstar, you don't know how busy superstars are, especially someone like her who is a triple threat and the pillar of the company. Where would she have the time to bother with a new artist? She's also afraid that others will say she's lowering her own value."

  He smiled and patted Song Qingming's shoulder, "He is strong because he is strong, the clear wind blows across the mountain ridge. He is arrogant because he is arrogant, the bright moon shines over the great river."

  Song Qingming thought for a moment with a blank expression, then suddenly his eyes lit up "You mean..."

  "One night, a string of red, I've seen countless times over the years." Xu Yunshan leaned comfortably on the sofa, sneering "You and he started from the same starting line, destined to become opponents. This contrast is not obvious now, and the newspapers don't care, but when you both have some fame, you'll definitely can't escape."

  "It's nothing. Zhao Qingya doesn't want to bother with him now because he is nobody. He's just a newcomer who has caught some people's attention by chance. Once he becomes powerful and arrogant, and others' attention towards him fades away, when it's his turn to attract Zhao Qingya's attention, she will take action without needing you to say anything."

  "What was his worth back then? At most a second-tier artist. Zhao Qingya had made up her mind to take him down, how could he have good days ahead of him? Who is Zhao Qingya, you've been under her wing for so long and you're not clear about that? What's with your gaze falling on him?"

  Song Qingming hastily nodded "Uncle Yunshan is right."

  Xu Yunshan nodded "That's right, aren't they going to hold a press conference for Shaolin Soccer? After this wave of popularity passes, you'll immediately hold a press conference for Never Give Up. The Kangxi Dynasty has Chen Daoming, and Never Give Up has Li Youbing. I'll help you keep an eye on several influential plays. With two plays being promoted together, the audience's attention will naturally shift to you."

  "After finishing speaking, Xu Yunshan took a glance at his watch. 'I'll leave first, you still have things to attend to, think carefully about what I just said.'"

  Song Qingming nodded and respectfully sent his opponent off as he walked out.

  Until he couldn't see Xu Yunshan's figure anymore, his face suddenly turned cold and he snorted, "Treat me as a big brother? Funny, Tian Guang and Tian Yu, compared to Zhong Yu, they are nothing but a Zhao Qingya holding up the sign. Look at me like a child? Save it, Xu Baozi, isn't it just that you're too lazy to give him a hard time? Do you really think one Zhao Qingya can satisfy me?"
