Chapter 14 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (14)

When Qiao Zixin got up the next day, Xu Zifan was gone. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little lost. But she just realized that she was a little attracted, so it’s better not to see him, so she could calm down. After all, liking a person is to consider a lot of things. Tempted does not mean to act on it. It’s not good to reveal it before thinking it over, and make everyone feel uncomfortable.

She baked two slices of toast, heated a cup of walnut milk for breakfast, vacuumed the house after dinner, and had nothing to do after. So, she had to turn on the TV and watch TV. The TV series happens to be a plot in which a female lead is pursued and vied for by a male lead and the second male at the same time. One of the two men is overbearing and full of hormones, and the other is warm like a brother next door. The female lead felt very tangled and has not yet chosen for two episodes. Because the female lead thinks that both men are too kind to her.

Qiao Zixin watched TV, but his mind turned to Xu Zifan. The female lead thought that the two men were too kind to her, but she felt that they were not as good as 1/10 of Xu Zifan, and she still felt that she was dreaming. When she met Xu Zifan for the first time, she was already on the verge of collapse. So many negative news and negative emotions surrounded her that she didn’t even take much precautions against Xu Zifan, a stranger, because her heart really felt like it was burnt to ashes and her mind was blank. And Xu Zifan saved her. She subconsciously trusted him, although meager, but it was there.

Then Xu Zifan pulled her up and intervened forcefully in her life; To help her, keep all her troubles out and build a security fortress for her. When she thought about it now, there was not much sadness left in her memory, because at that time she was so shocked by Xu Zifan’s heroic words that she was completely distracted by him. She came out of her depression. Then slowly found sense of security beside Xu Zifan, and regained the trust between people. Xu Zifan is the person she trusts most, and she can’t guard against this person.

Their relationship is very much like the movie they made. The man saved the woman when she was in the most critical situation, and then he gave the woman a lot of help. The only difference is that Xu Zifan is much more overbearing than the man in the play. although he always smiles gently, he has sharp eyes and a rational mind. Every time he makes a decision, he doesn’t give people a chance to refute it. His decision is correct, and nobody could find a reason to refute it. Over the past few months, Xu Zifan has pulled her out of the quagmire step by step, cleaning up the stains on her body, and now her new film is about to be released, and her career is making a comeback.

Xu Zifan will leave her time to heal alone when she is sad, share joy with her when she is happy, always say gentle words when she is tired, and stand up for her when she is in trouble. Xu Zifan would rather leave early and return late than let her go out to socialize, would rather take the more troublesome route in publicizing than let her be offended in an interview …

There were so many things that moved her, that Xu Zifan became the most special existence in her heart. She recalled the appearance of Xu Zifan when she first met him. With his thin figure, rustic hairstyle and un-styled clothes, he looked like a good-looking ordinary person. Now Xu Zifan, has a strong figure with appropriate clothes. A stylist had specially designed a hairstyle for him, showing a full forehead and a fresh face, but vaguely revealing a sense of superiority, calm and mature, he is already a very charming and reliable man. She didn’t know how many fans would pursue him crazily when he enters the entertainment industry.

Such a man is only nice to her. (if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

Qiao Zixin held down her slightly faster heartbeat to calm herself down. She doesn’t know why Xu Zifan is nice to her, and she doesn’t believe that someone who is just a fan would do this for her. Not to mention that Xu Zifan doesn’t look like a celebrity chaser. The longer they got along, the more she felt that Xu Zifan was like a president, sitting in an office handling billions of contracts. A celebrity would not be considered by him at all.

(celebrity chaser = someone who’s aim is to date celebrities without fame of their own.)

Qiao Zixin fell vexed on the sofa, grabbed the pillow and covered her head. She can’t figure it out. Just forget it! As for Xu Zifan’s strong character, even if she likes him, she doesn’t have the initiative. What’s the use of thinking so much? It would be better to let nature take its course. She now relies on Xu Zifan for help, and she is embarrassed to think about it anymore. She has to stand firmly on her feet so that no one can bring her down again.

Qiao Zixin rubbed her hair and sat up, turned off the TV and started flipping through her address book, then screened out some people who felt reliable and began to make phone calls. Xu Zifan does not let her show up in front of people for her own good, and it is also a kind of career planning. She will not spoil Xu Zifan’s kindness. What she is looking for now is the behind-the-scenes staff. Although these people did not speak out for her, it was also because they were all ordinary friends, so there was no need for them to speak for her. She had no opinion about it, she just wanted to contribute to the new film in her own way.

The phone went through one by one, and she asked the other party to come over for help for a period of time, with a good salary and they would never treat each other badly. Some said they were busy with other things, some said they couldn’t come back from abroad, and some said they wanted to take a break. Qiao Zixin’s mouth was so dry, she made more than 30 phone calls and finally decided on 6 people! A publicist, a manuscript writer, a legal lawyer, a publicity director and two senior assistants.

In the final analysis, their team are all newcomers to the industry. They are ‘crossing the river by feeling the stones’. So far, no problems have been found. Xu Zifan has controlled them well in all aspects. But it’s too hard for Xu Zifan to take care of so many things alone. Finding these professionals now can make it a little easier for everyone, at least not to take too many detours. Of course, these people still have to see Xu Zifan in person.

(摸着石头过河 [mōzhe shítou guò hé] = wade across the river by feeling for stones on the riverbed—learn how to do something through trial and error.) (if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

This time, Qiao Zixin carefully screened the people. Xu Zifan took the time to invite them to tea and chat, and finally they all passed and became a member of their team. These people are poached to see the rise of Qiao Zixin, and they also hope that Qiao Zixin will get better and better for their own career. Having them join the team is equivalent to having skilled hands to guide the sail, especially the publicity director plays a very important role. In the past, any action in the team had to go through Xu Zifan, but now the publicity director had the ability, so Xu Zifan gave part of his power to him, and he only controls the general direction, which is much easier.

With free time, he went to do more things, socialized more, and even accidentally found contacts to set ‘A Strong Mother’ to be released at the same time as ‘Double Agent’! ‘Double Agent’ does not only have a famous director and actor, the investment is also several times that of theirs, but also elements such as action and brotherhood of police and loyalty of bandits. Under normal circumstances, the box office numbers wouldn’t be low. Some people advised Xu Zifan to avoid having to fight Lin Yan head on because of emotions, but Xu Zifan is very confident in his work. All of this could end badly, it’s just too bad that he has studied in the underworld for such a long time.

Thinking about it, he cannot remember how long he has been learning these things. From refusing to learn these schemes to later learning it thoroughly, so that those old men can finally be relieved and go reincarnate. It has been too long, maybe a few lifetimes. We could say that no director in the world can match him. He will not be humble, he has always been confident in what he has learned.

Two months later, on National Day, ‘A Strong Mother’ and ‘Double Agent’ were released on the same day, and there were six other films, including a pet film, drama film, court film, fantasy film, literary film and patriotic film. It can be said that art and literature flourished, and every category flourished. ‘Double Agent’ that had been vigorously promoted over the past two months, appeared in several popular variety shows, held several press conferences, and took the lead at the box office as soon as it was released. The male lead of this film is the Movie Emperor, and the second male lead is a popular young fresh meat. The plot for Lin Yan’s character, is also very cool, and the audience’s comments are good. But the score is not very high, after all, this is a standard film. There are so many films of the same type that there is no way to raise popularity if they do not exceed the previous classics.

‘A Strong Mother’ ranked fourth at the box office on the first day. Liu Jie stared at the box office and was delighted to see ‘A Strong Mother’. She hurriedly asked the water army to act, mocking ‘A Strong Mother’ and incidentally give a helping hand to ‘Double Agents’. It’s common for movies released in the same period to be compared, but she just seized the opportunity to step on the new movie Qiao Zixin is in. As long as she pounced on Qiao Zixin’s movie, her reputation for box office poison won’t be easily washed away. She will fail and become a third-rate star or even an eighteenth-tier star.

Liu Jie has now turned to Xingchen as an entertainer, and her agent knows that the incident has been reported to the newspaper. The Lady Boss not only did not reprimand her, but also praised her and let the public relations department secretly push it. It would be best to trample on Qiao Zixin thoroughly. Netizens scold her for ignoring her sisterhood, she is not happy. When Qiao Zixin falls down, everyone will know that there was nothing wrong with her choice.

But it was on this day that ‘A Strong Mother’ began to have fans! Many people who have finished reading it on the Internet shared it to the people around them. This is not only a film that reflects reality, but also a film with a deep story, in which there is affection, love and friendship, but it is more about the portrayal of human nature. Everyone who has seen it would be touched and give rise to some feelings, which is its magical and made people unconsciously like it.

[I watched ‘A Strong Mother’, cried from beginning to end. My father was a violent man. When I was a child, I often saw him beat my mother and beat me black and blue. Once when he was drunk and beat me, my mother scratched him desperately and took me away and divorce him. When I watched the movie, I think of what happened when I was a child. Fortunately, my mother is strong enough to protect me. She is really a strong mother. I love my mother, I will ask for leave to go back to my hometown to see her now!]

[My grandfather likes to hit people, the most serious one broke my grandmother’s ribs. At home, it’s all about one person. In his day, it seems that most men hit women. I knew it before, but I didn’t see it and I didn’t feel much about it. This time, seeing ‘A Strong Mother’, I really got goose bumps, too terrible. Women are born not as strong as men. If you meet a violent man, it is a lifetime of nightmares!] (if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

[There is no difference between infidelity and domestic violence. If you encounter it for the first time, you should never forgive to the very end. Forgiveness will only make the scum man worse!]

[I hope the domestic violence law will be sounder and severely punish those animals! I recommend everyone to see ‘A Strong Mother’. It talks about several ways to protect yourself. It’s really a good movie. I’m going to take my best friend to a second viewing.]

[My neighbor’s child has been lost for three years and has not been found yet. I hope that in reality, there are non-governmental organizations like the one in ‘A Strong Mother’ to help everyone find their missing child. If only the reality could be as good as the ending of the movie.]

[The ending of the movie is bought with blood, tears and human life. I really hope that in reality, it will not be so tragic. I like ‘A Strong Mother’. I hope there are more such good movies. Everyone must go to see it!]
