Chapter 51

Xiang Tong could play the leading lady in Director Xu’s films, and she had high popularity and status, so she just needed a blockbuster to sit on the A-line celebrity status. Furthermore, she naturally had many fans. Although many people who had seen the trailer only paid attention to Su Yuanyuan, most of Xiang Tong’s fans were focused on their own idol, and many comments praising Xiang Tong had been brushed up. Some even complained on Xiang Tong’s behalf, accusing the crew of making no distinction between priorities and weakening the presence of the female lead.

Xiang Tong seized this opportunity, using a small account hidden in the fan base to seemingly unintentionally point out her grievances. She was obviously the female lead, but it was taken away by a fox. She was obviously superior in acting, but she was compared to a fox. What was the crew doing? What was everyone doing? Is a fox better than Xiang Tong in acting skills? If ‘Susu’ was compared to most of the entertainment industry, what kind of life is there for actors in the future?

The fans couldn’t bear to see their own idol aggrieved. Once provoked by these remarks, they immediately went everywhere to seek justice with indignation and quickly shutting down the netizens who were supporting Su Yuanyuan. Of course, Susu’s fans won’t back down. The trailer was there. It was self-evident who had a stronger presence. Xiang Tong’s skills weren’t as good as hers, so who is to blame? The two sides directly fought, and the more they argued, the fiercer they became, with neither giving an inch.

Fang Lizhe targeted Xiang Tong as soon as it happened, and instructed the studio team to contact public relations. They didn’t have to investigate the specific situation, but handled the matter according to the analysis of the current situation. He had always had a keen intuition in this respect. Although Xiang Tong’s fans came to the forefront, he quickly controlled the situation and didn’t let it continue to grow worse. Thinking about Su Yuanyuan’s identity as a fox demon, he simply created a ‘genius spirit fox’ gimmick. They stepped on the incident caused by Xiang Tong, directly confirming the fact that Su Yuanyuan’s acting skills were better than Xiang Tong’s, making Su Yuanyuan a genius powerhouse! She was the kind of ‘God gifted’ actor, and a truly rare ‘fox spirit’!

Su Yuanyuan has been surprising people with her performance, showing time and time again how extraordinary she was. While Xiang Tong had no previous masterpieces, in contrast, the ‘genius fox spirit’ immediately took the upper hand!

Xiang Tong thought that she would lower her status to a fox and win sympathy and support, while standing in a stable position. But now, she was really compared to a fox! By the time she reacted and tried to redeem herself, she had already become the laughing stock of the circle. Who was she compared with? It wasn’t only a shame to lose against a fox, but even if she won, what could she do? Is she proud of being a better actress than a fox? The circle of discerning people could foresee that Xiang Tong’s path wouldn’t go far. If nothing else, she was too stupid. Only uninformed outsiders thought it had been a ‘fair discussion’, allowing Xiang Tong to barely save some face.

During this period, Su Yuanyuan took two public service advertisements, one for ‘caring for animals’ and the other for ‘accompanying the elderly’. At this time, it was broadcasted one after another, which made people see her superb acting skills in advertisements in just a few minutes! Which animal could convey feelings with eyes like Su Yuanyuan and play the role perfectly? If she wasn’t a genius, who was?!

The two touching public service advertisements immediately attracted people’s attention, and even passers-by who didn’t like pets turned into Su Yuanyuan’s fans because of these two advertisements. The contents of the advertisements were really too thought provoking. One made people see the desperate grief of endangered animals, the other made people that were too busy with their work and neglected their parents feel they were unfilial.

Several related topics, such as #caring-for-animals#, #honoring-parents#, #the-most-beautiful-Susu#, had reached the top of the hot search list, and no one paid attention to Xiang Tong’s acting skills. Even if Xiang Tong was unwilling, she could only swallow the consequences of losing her wife and losing her troops.

(TNote: losing one’s wife and losing one’s troops = quote from Three Kingdom’s; losing the battle and still losing something at home/ losing on both sides.)

After Feng Hui saw the result, he suddenly came out of his depression. He looked at the beautiful and stunning Xiang Tong in the trailer, his face was full of infatuation. He didn’t know how long it took, but he remembered the injustice suffered by Xiang Tong. His complexion changed and he immediately got up and called the company, saying that he was sure to win the opening and closing songs for ‘ Demon Fox’, and when the time came, he would try to have Xiang Tong sing it. Both of them could set off a craze with this film, just to redeem Xiang Tong’s image during this time.

Feng Hui was banned under the order of Starlight’s President, but this time the number one starlet of the company was trampled by Fang Lizhe and a fox, and Starlight was also very upset. When Feng Hui said so, the President went with him without much concern. If he could succeed, it was naturally a good thing. Xiang Tong and Feng Hui were both from their company. Wasn’t that a win-win? The main thing was to make money for their company, if he could open up the international market, that was even better. If he fails that doesn’t matter, he was already in the freezing period anyway.

Feng Hui was also very capable. For the sake of the white moonlight in his heart, he painstakingly tried to recall things, looking for the right classic songs from his previous memories. After finding it, he revised the lyrics according to the artistic conception of ‘Demon Fox’. This level of dedication was simply the most he had ever done in his life. Of course, he didn’t miss this opportunity to get close to the white moonlight. In the name of understanding the artistic conception of ‘Demon Fox’, he became friends with Xiang Tong through the company, and finally got out of the first step to get close to the goddess. Then he wanted to help the goddess face those things that didn’t know when to back down!

(TNote: white moonlight = unrequited love, obsession. Like a white moonlight that could be seen and admired, but couldn’t be touched.)

After half a month, Feng Hui came up with two songs, and Starlight came forward to discuss with Director Xu. After all, these songs were future classics, and Director Xu felt they were amazing when he heard them. Although he didn’t agree with Feng Hui’s character, if he could match ‘Demon Fox’ with such suitable songs, other defects could be completely ignored. As for the fact that Xiang Tong should sing the songs, it was acceptable. Xiang Tong’s singing was good, and it wouldn’t be a problem with a few more recordings.

Fang Lizhe’s connections in the circle are getting stronger and stronger, and he soon found out about the news. It just so happened that there were no events to go out to on this day, so he walked into the study with a frown and began to analyze whether this incident would have an impact on them. Now, he, Feng Hui, Xiang Tong and Su Yuanyuan all have a shallow and binding relationship. If these two people did anything together, it was easy for people to drag them into it, to compare and discuss. One mistake, and problems are likely to occur.

Su Yuanyuan trotted into the study with a chicken leg in her mouth, jumped onto the table and lay down at Fang Lizhe’s hand. While eating a chicken leg, she asked vaguely, “What’s the matter? Is it serious? I see you’re not looking too happy after answering the phone. “

Fang Lizhe saw her eating gluttonously as if she was a small child. Shaking his head in disbelief, he said, “It’s Feng Hui, he made two songs for Xiang Tong to sing. If there’s nothing wrong with them, they decided to use them as the opening and closing songs for ‘Demon Fox’.”

Su Yuanyuan furrowed her little brow and said unhappily, “Why are they everywhere? Isn’t it just a song? I know how to sing too!”

“You can too?” Fang Lizhe froze and looked at Su Yuanyuan incredulously. A fox can act and also compose, are all the fox demons nowadays so unbelievable?

Su Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed by his look, coughed lightly and said, “I didn’t make it, I didn’t learn that. I’m talking about the songs of our fox clan. There is exactly one that all fox demons who have gone through miserable experiences of love like. I guarantee, there’s no better song for ‘Demon Fox’ than this song!”
