âBoss, didnât you ask us to find someone named Cai Xujie last time? Weâve found him.â
Listening to Allyâs words on the other end of the phone, Jiang Xu immediately showed a look of surprise.
Dove, after all the trials and tribulations, Iâve finally found you.
He eagerly asked, âWhere is he now?â
âHe happened to come to Magic City with his family for a vacation, and then he was discovered.â
âGood, arrange a meeting for me.â
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu got up.
After washing up and dressing neatly, he went out.
In a restaurant, Jiang Xu saw Cai Xujie, who was eating with his family.
Although he was only fourteen or fifteen, he was already a very standard handsome young man.
Seeing him, Jiang Xu couldnât help but sigh, âThe blue ball originally had an invincible path, why then resort to wearing overalls?â
Ally followed him there.
After listening to her boss, she looked completely baffled, indicating she didnât understand.
Jiang Xu straightened his collar and walked towards the other party.
He was determined to have Cai Xujie in his pocket.
And he also wanted to replicate the path of his previous life a hundred percent.
After all, looking around the world, besides him, there wasnât another artist who could play the same gag for five or six years without going stale.
And he was constantly coming up with fresh ideas.
He was the only one globally whose Sect Leader had passed away, but whose sect became more and more prosperous.
Who could give up such a man, a natural traffic magnet?
However, once he joined the company, I would have to impose restrictions on his behavior.
We canât have a repeat of that fan-hyping incident from his previous life.
âHello,â Jiang Xu said as he approached the table with a smile, âmy name is Jiang Xu.â
Cai Xujieâs parents recognized Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xuâs fame was well known nationwide; nobody was unaware.
The moment they saw Jiang Xu, Cai Xujieâs parents got excited.
Jiang Xu said with a smile, âSorry to disturb your meal, but I see that your son has an extraordinary bone structure and talent. Itâs obvious heâs cut out to be a celebrity artist.â
âSo, I wanted to ask if you would be interested in letting your son enter the entertainment industry?â
âRest assured, the contract I offer will definitely not shortchange you.â
As soon as these words were spoken, Cai Xujieâs parents agreed without hesitation.
âNo problem at all, Mr. Jiang, we agree.â
âAfter all, this brat has never taken his studies seriously.â
âCan you believe that he only scored sixty-eight points in total on his last final exam?â
âWeâve broken several feather dusters at home on him.â
âUhâ¦â Jiang Xu didnât know what to say for a moment.
The development of events was even smoother than he had imagined.
It took only a few hours to sign every aspect of the contract.
Then, Jiang Xu booked a ticket to Little Hammer for Cai Xujie overnight.
First go there to train for two and a half years before coming back.
Jiang Xu could already foresee the future glory.
Just thinking about it excited him.
In the future, only I am allowed to eat the eggs laid by the dove; no one else is permitted to touch them.
Hmph!
âââââââââââââ
The plagiarism matter continued to ferment.
But Jiang Xu didnât take it to heart.
For him, Zhao Wei was just a little ant.
Even if it bit with all its might, it wouldnât cause the slightest pain.
The very next day, he arrived at the film studio.
Hm.
The movie version of âBlue Starâ began filming that day.
The entire group was under Jiang Xuâs sole direction.
So, from signing the contract to selecting the actors and starting the shoot, it only took a few daysâ time.
Moreover, Jiang Xu had no intention of drastically altering the original plot, even saving money by not hiring a screenwriter.
The efficiency was frightening.
As the lead actress, Zhou Mengmeng arrived.
Blue Sea was after all a drama centered on a strong female lead.
The heroine in the drama is a girl who, because of various hardships, becomes villainous but ultimately reforms and returns to the right path.
The first scene to be filmed today marks the beginning of the heroineâs descent into villainy.
In typical dramas, turning evil simply involves wearing black clothes, applying smoky makeup, and giving a cold, angry stare to complete the transformation.
But Zhou Mengmengâs look remained in a simple white outfit, without heavy makeup on her face.
She conveyed the transition into villainy solely through her facial expressions and gaze.
Compared to those cheap effects, it was incomparably better.
âGood, itâs really good, perfect!â the director exclaimed excitedly after filming the first sequence.
Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised as well.
Zhou Mengmengâs acting was so impressive; it seemed she was born for this career.
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Jiang Xu thought of something.
If Zhou Mengmeng was naturally such a good actor, then could their previous interactions have been just an act?
With this thought, Jiang Xuâs eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Although Zhou Mengmeng was busy filming, she kept an eye on Jiang Xu off-camera.
She quickly sensed the change in his expression.
And she had her suspicions.
However, she wasnât panicked at all.
In terms of acting, she was confident she was second to none.
It was innate.
It was like having a sacred body in a fantasy novel.
Without the need for arduous meditation, one could level up rapidly just by eating and drinking.
After finishing her part, Zhou Mengmeng ran over to greet Jiang Xu: âBrother Jiang, hello.â
Jiang Xu nodded with a smile.
Without concrete evidence, Jiang Xu wasnât going to show any different emotions towards Zhou Mengmeng.
âI have something else to take care of, so Iâll be leaving now. Next time, Iâll invite Brother Jiang and Sister Nuonuo for a meal,â she said.
After speaking, Zhou Mengmeng waved her hand and left.
Her retreating figure looked very free and natural, without a trace of acting.
Jiang Xu watched her back for a while.
Then he suddenly laughed in relief.
He realized he had been stuck in a mental rut.
Even if everything Zhou Mengmeng did before was fake, what did it matter?
As long as his heart was with An Nuonuo, whatever she did was useless.
Having understood this, Jiang Xu no longer cared.
He called over the director and gave a few reminders.
The investment in this movie was quite significant.
Within Nuomi Entertainment, it was rare to have more than three movies a year with investment exceeding one hundred million.
If it failed at the box office, Jiang Xu might have to reprimand the director severely.
When Jiang Xu got home, he saw An Nuonuo doing yoga in the living room.
She was wearing a form-fitting yoga outfit that revealed her slender and proportionate body, with elegant curves in full view.
She was like a graceful cat demonstrating incredible flexibility while stretching her limbs;
Like a stream of water showing boundless fluidity in its flow.
In Jiang Xuâs mind, one hundred and eight positions appeared⦠of calisthenics!
Noticing Jiang Xuâs arrival, An Nuonuo stopped and stretched out her arms, âHubby, I want a hug~â
Jiang Xu inhaled deeply, saying righteously, âI admit youâre somewhat attractive, but my heart is devoted to the nation and the people!â
An Nuonuo blinked her eyes, responding weakly, âBut I am one of the people too, right?â
âYou have a point there,â Jiang Xu nodded.
Then he dropped the act, rubbed his hands together, and chuckled: âMy dear wife, here I come!â
