Chapter 25 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (25)

The Qiao family ignored Qiao Zixin’s threat and were approached by the police the next day. Each of them borrowed money from Qiao Zixin, and some of the family borrowed money separately and kept it a secret from each other. Qiao Zixin has Wechat records and bank proof, although she didn’t have one for everyone; But she had most, because they have not only borrowed once.

If you don’t pay back the money you owe, you still couldn’t be sentenced and they can’t force it. But, the fact that the police came to your door, is scary enough for ordinary people. What’s more, they were all face-saving people, and the strange eyes of neighbors and colleagues made them feel worse than the police.

The times when Qiao Zixin went home before, she would lose some small jewelry and cosmetics in her room. She made a scene for the first time, and before she could find out who it was, Father and Mother Qiao got angry, blaming her for treating their family members as thieves and saying that giving small things to relatives was normal and unimportant.

This time, Qiao Zixin reported all these things as stolen items, providing photos of those items when she was taking pictures in the past, and suspected that it was only the women and children from those families. The scope was narrowed down and it was easy to investigate. Even when the police came to the door, her cousin was wearing a platinum and diamond necklace she had lost!

The Qiao’s can’t go to work, and can’t go to school. There were a lot of local Qiao Zixin fans; They found out about it, and these people have publicized their bad deeds. Now even people that didn’t like to read gossip online knew about what they have done. No matter who you think is right and who is wrong in private, the Qiao family was a joke. They didn’t dare to look up when they went outside.

Qiao Zhipeng’s eyes were red with anger, he cursed at home and said angrily, “anyway, things have gone wrong. Just make it even bigger, so she couldn’t be a star anymore! Isn’t that what people say in interviews on television? Let’s go cry and tarnish her reputation and see how crazy she would be!”

Father Qiao yelled, “shut up! Do you think we haven’t lost enough face? What would you do in an interview? Let others see a laughingstock? Scold me for not having enough money to raise my son and waiting for my stepdaughter to raise him? Letting people call us Qiaos cowards who bully women?”

“Then? Let it go? If we don’t go, can’t Aunt Yu go? She’s her real mother.”

“That’s enough! Don’t bring it up again.”

Qiao Zhipeng slammed the door and went back to his room. Apparently, he didn’t continue to insist, but he was still thinking of dealing with Qiao Zixin.

Qiao Zixin knew their character best and had hired someone to keep an eye on them. As soon as she found out what Qiao Zhipeng was going to do, she directly transferred the debt they owed her to a debt company. She didn’t care about the money, and told the debt company directly that she didn’t want a penny of the money they owed, and that she had only one request– to scare them without breaking the law, so that they would never dare to bother her again.

(Debt company = Debt company are agencies that take over in collecting debt.)

This debt company is run by the head of the local gangsters. She heard that it had a ‘Jianghu Morality’. Qiao Zixin has heard a lot of stories about them, and the locals have an instinctive fear of this person, so it was appropriate to ask him to take care of this matter!

(Jianghu morality = Respect the strong. Respect seniors. Honor and blood kind of deal, like in those mafia movies.)

Sure enough, less than a week after the debt company took action, the Qiao family were all frazzled. They still had to live in the local area, so how could they live if they offend a gangster leader? Although they didn’t do anything or call any one names, every day, several strong men with plenty of rough tattoos talked to them. Their persuasion tactics were very awful, and the Qiao’s trembled with fear. Qiao Zixin’s move is particularly ruthless, hitting them where it hurts. She completely grasped their weakness, so they would never dare provoke her from the bottom of their hearts.

Most of them have never traveled out of the province all their lives, and in their eyes, a little girl like Qiao Zixin, who has a good life in Yanjing, must be very well-connected and ruthless. In the past, Qiao Zixin didn’t care, but they didn’t see it. This time, Qiao Zixin had dealings with gangsters, and they were so scared that they couldn’t even mention her anymore. They also really realized that the little girl had great ability and was no longer the object of their bullying.

Qiao’s family became quails, and the people who took Qiao Zixin’s things were so scared that they returned them one after another. If you don’t have anything, you will have to pay it back at a discount, and none of them will be able to push it off. The police let it go as a family dispute, but they were detained for two days and looked like they were tainted. They really had a bad reputation.

This time Qiao Zixin’s reputation was not damaged at all. Her fans have contributed a lot, and the company had done nothing. The public relations manager also joked that these fans were all reserve forces of the company’s employees, just waiting for the company to recruit new colleagues, and fans were really expecting that.

Qiao Zixin’s other events came to an end. She made a short video and sent it to the Internet. She briefly told the whole story of the incident, and then said sincerely, “I have always wanted to have a warm family. Since I could not form a family myself, I especially cherish the original family. Many people ask me why I tolerate them for all that time. Actually, it’s just because… I didn’t want to have no place to go back to when I have nothing. But as we all know what happened six months ago, I was homeless and fell to the bottom. I really wanted to have a warm harbor that would protect me, but I didn’t go back to that home because I didn’t hear their voices of concern. I don’t want to go back, just to hear everyone criticize and humiliate me.

This time, I found that it was no longer my home, and it had nothing to do with kinship. On the contrary, it was my fans. Thank you, you made me feel really warm. I no longer feel at a loss, because you are my harbor, is my most solid backing. So, this time, I abandon what should be abandoned, cherish what should be cherished, like my movie, life is beautiful, I want to love myself. Of course, I love you more–my fans, you are the best!”

Qiao Zixin’s fans posted on Weibo one after another, and wrote messages in a unified formation: [My home is your home. We will always love you the most!]

This time Qiao Zixin fans once again made a name for themselves, not only organized and disciplined, but also full of hidden talents. they were jokingly called the best fans by netizens. At the same time, the box office of ‘Life is Beautiful’ hit a new height, and many people regard the heroine in this film as the real Qiao Zixin. Seeing the pain of the heroine at the beginning, as if they had seen Qiao Zixin being blackened by the whole network. After that, the angel led the heroine to experience the beauty of life. In reality, it was Xu Zifan who pulled Qiao Zixin up, and brought her back to the top.

Especially in the later stage of the film, the heroine really let go of all her troubles and learned to love life and dote on herself; Just like the Qiao Zixin now, letting go of all the heavy things of the past, just like a new life. The audience also replaced it with their own feelings in the process of watching the movie. Everyone has some disappointments, and life cannot always be smooth sailing. This film seems to have a magical power. It makes people feel like they have lived in vain without experiencing the beauty of the film. Why should they bother about the trivial troubles around them? You should strive to go forward and experience life in a dashing way!

In addition, the huge shipping-fans of Xu Zifan and Qiao Zixin went to a second and third viewing to see their romantic atmosphere, and lively debated whether the back of the last handsome guy was the incarnation of the angel. Even if you don’t think so, you would cry a lot; Questioning why Xu Zifan always had to leave Qiao Zixin in every movie, can they really ‘not’ realize the relationship even once? But they also think that it was real, speaking happily that this was official sweetness. Thinking the two had a relationship inside and outside the movie. They also edited some scenes of ‘A Strong Mother’ and ‘Life is Beautiful’ together, looking at the past and present lives of the two. It was so sweet and satisfactorily, and it even went on the hot search list.

Due to various reasons, the movie has won great acclaim and box office. Three great directors named and praised Xu Zifan, for his ingenious arrangement of the plot. Not only aroused the empathy of the audience, but also triggered a reflection of love for life. This is definitely an excellent film, is a classic in comedy!

(TNote: oh god… I almost forgot it was a comedy because of how OP the movie was XD)

And the acting skills of Qiao Zixin and Xu Zifan were recognized again, and scripts were sent to them like falling snowflakes. Right now, asking them to act was not taking a risk, but a guarantee at the box office. Various popular variety shows, reality shows and other programs also invited them one after another. When there was gap in the middle of making movies, keeping exposure on shows were the choice of many stars, and their popularity on reality shows would definitely bring a wave of high ratings. Everyone wants to know how the male god is in private, don’t they?

Xu Zifan is Qiao Zixin’s agent. He doesn’t have any interest in becoming an artist. He doesn’t even read the invitations. He just sifts through Qiao Zixin’s invitations and finds a few good ones for Qiao Zixin to choose from.

Qiao Zixin flipped through it and asked casually, “didn’t you say at new years that you were going to prepare a new movie? Aren’t we going to film it ourselves?”

Xu Zifan: “Film. If you want our company to film it. Choose a script you like, and we will prepare it ourselves. If you look at these, we can invest as the largest investor and get the right to speak. So, all you have to do is pick the movie you want to shoot.”

“If I act in it, will you still be the director?”

“Hmm.”

“Then I’ll take our own movie.” Qiao Zixin directly turned over the other scripts. It’s not that she isn’t clear-headed when she’s in love, but that she trusts Xu Zifan. Xu Zifan shot a good and meaningful movie. The shooting process is very smooth, and it could highlight her acting skills, this is the type of movie every actor wants to act in. She has worked with many big directors, but she never had such a strong spark before.

In fact, just like the heroines of other big directors that were called ‘this girl’ and ‘that girl’, it is a kind of recognition of honor and strength. If Xu Zifan hadn’t used her as the heroine alone, and she was a Film Queen, she would have been called an “ordinary girl” long ago. Xu Zifan is the quality assurance of movies, as long as he is willing to do it, she is not interested in acting in other people’s movies at all.

Xu Zifan nodded. “I suggest we take it to the next level, shoot a fantasy drama or science fiction drama, and find a foreign special effects company to make a Hollywood blockbuster. It’s good for your career, and it’s also very beneficial to the development of our company, and you can also bring those newly signed artists in the company.”

Qiao Zixin has been shooting four or five films, every year over the past few years. After taking several films awards, she still hadn’t made any progress, still making ordinary movies. Now, with the success of the turnaround, she really needs to find a way to go further. She looked at Xu Zifan, and didn’t ask him if he could make a good blockbuster, but responded without hesitation, “Okay, let’s make a sci-fi movie. I have never made any science fiction movies of the future world yet.”
