Chapter 84: First Meeting with Xingze

The entertainment circle had no lack of pretty male actors, but in order to survive and avoid being eliminated in this tough industry, it was necessary to resort to dirty tricks and the ilk.

However… Gu Xingze was a legend.

This was not just because of his outstandingly good looks. He had a flair for the dramatic, and, coupled with his charismatic voice, he quickly rose to fame.

From starting out as an inexperienced, matinee idol up to his current kingly superstar status in the movie, TV, and singing arenas, he was able to bag ten platinum awards. The media dubbed him as the ‘Box-Office Hit of the Century’.

Be it his acting or singing, he had honed his skills to the optimum level.

After ten years in the entertainment industry, he was now considered as a living legend. Only he was eligible to represent the country’s entertainment industry in the international stage and could have the honorable role of a milestone for many artistes. No one had been able to replace him in the past ten years.

Many were jealous of his smooth-sailing rise to stardom. He had been performing for a decade, which was usually the extent of a star’s career, yet there was no sign of his popularity slowing down or stagnating any time.

In any case… how did he end up here?

Yan Liangxiong stood up once he saw Gu Xingze, stretched out his hand, and warmly shook the latter’s hand.

The assistant by Gu Xingze’s side immediately approached Yan Liangxiong and profusely apologized for his artiste’s late arrival.

“Director Yan, our sincere apologies! We were caught in the rush hour and were delayed on the road. We’re sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Yan Liangxiong was known for being punctual and his dislike of latecomers. There were no exceptions to this rule.

Gu Xingze was in the middle of a traffic jam when he received a call from him.

Yan Liangxiong wanted to arrange a meeting in the hotel to discuss the female lead role. Gu Xingze, who was one of the upcoming movie’s producers, was busy with the script when he received the man’s call. Although he very much preferred to dedicate that time to studying the script, he knew that Yan Liangxiong was an important and difficult director that he could not afford to ignore. Thus, he rushed to the hotel without a moment’s delay. Despite his best efforts, he still arrived late.

“Director Yan, is there a reason for calling me here?”

Gu Xingze was puzzled. All the necessary matters, including the script, production team, actors, and even the sponsors, had been settled. What other important matters could there be that needed his immediate attention?

“He he, Xingze, let’s sit down first before we discuss! Oh, by the way, let me introduce someone to you!” He gestured for Gu Xingze to take a seat beside him.

This was when Gu Xingze took notice of another woman’s presence in the VIP room. She was pretty and wore exquisite makeup, yet she lacked the presence and appeared rather dull and hollow.

Her eyes were full of admiration and anticipation for him!

It was Han Jingyi’s dream to be his female lead. Although she was in the show business for just a year or so, she was in the acting profession for quite some time. This was her first time meeting this superstar!

Compared to the pictures in the magazines, he looked even better and more glamorous in person.

Han Jingyi did not drink much but found herself a captive of his stupefying charisma.

He was the Greek god in the eyes of many women.

Gu Xingze’s mind was crowded with doubts as he looked at Yan Liangxiong for an introduction of the woman.

He shifted his gaze and saw Yun Shishi in the corner.

At this moment, she was already inebriated yet was still stubbornly pressing her lips together. Her fingertips clasped hard on the table top as if she were struggling with something.

Her face, with her bloodshot and misty eyes, was expressive.
