Chapter 14

Face-Slapping the Film Emperor and Empress (Entertainment Circle)

A war of words began like this, after all the discussion online. Han Zikui and Zhou Jia didn’t even have enough time to respond before the matter blew up on Weibo.

Some in the entertainment circle have already joined a side, but most of them were just waiting and watching. Anyways, it wasn’t really their business. But all the artists who with worked with Zhou Xu supported Zhou Xu. After all, the rumors about his character were crazy and simply distorted the facts.

Zhou Xu’s fan base was also sharply declining Some had begun turning their backs, while others were firmly stayed in position. This New Year’s Eve drama was all about Zhou Xu and Han Zikui.

In the face of heated verbal attacks , Zhou Xu’s brother, Zhou Yang, almost died of anger towards his brother. This was the case. He (ZX) could play games without expression, which was really rare in the entertainment circle.

“Xiaoxu, how about I try to suppress it for you?”

Zhou Xu PK’ed a person while saying, “How can you suppress it? Don’t worry, brother, I have some things in mind.”

Zhou Yang was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but Zhou Xu was calm and relaxed. Finally, Zhou Yang pulled Zhou Xu’s ear and said, “What are you going to do?”

Saving his ear, Zhou Xu rubbed it and answered, “Brother, rest assured, I know who did it and how to make that person pay the price. So Brother, really, don’t worry about it.”

Zhou Xu wasn’t bragging. He really knew who did it. Originally, he wanted to wait a while, but now it seems that he couldn’t be kind anymore.

Dialing Han Zikui’s phone, Zhou Xu only said one sentence, “The right to use the video has been handed over to you. If you handle it properly, you can come back and I’ll let you do whatever you want.”

Zhou Xu’s case continued to ferment while Han Zikui took Zhang Hanshu to court the next day on the grounds of intentional injury.

For a long time, Han Zikui had already obtained evidence that Zhang Hanshu intentionally injured Zhou Xu twice. At the same time, he also got evidence of his illegal purchase of a gun and ammunition.

When this happened, the storm surrounding Zhou Xu lightened a bit.

On the third day, Han Zikui sent out the video that Zhou Xu had prepared. The entertainment circle immediately blew open the pot, and Han Zikui also invited many water armies to fish. At this time, Zhou Xu’s affairs eased again.

A few days later, news of Zhang Hanshu’s drug addiction was released, and his entire crew was investigated.

A few days later, Sun Yue was accused of intentional homicide.

At this point, no one cared whether Zhou Xu was in love with the same sex or not, and his black material would not disappear for a while, so Zhou Xu intended to keep it like this. As for what to do afterwards, he hadn’t finished playing his game of chess, and he wasn’t in a hurry at all.

In April, the Jinmei Award Ceremony was held as scheduled. When Zhou Xu was re-appointed as the film emperor, he sincerely bowed during his acceptance speech and said, “To those who love me, your love is in my heart. To those who do not love me, I wish you find true love. Thank you.”

When he finished, Han Zikui got on stage and kissed Zhou Xu on the forehead in front of a large audience and said, “We are really lovers. If you bless us, we will remember that and we are grateful in our hearts. If we don’t bless us, we also wish you find true love.”

Zhou Xu stared at Han Zikui. “You give a speech, but just repeat my words?”

Han Zikui smiled. “I’m wrong, film emperor.” Then he bowed his head and kissed Zhou Xu on his lips.

There was noise from the audience, but the TV station didn’t dare to broadcast the kiss. It was covered by an advertisement. There were a large number of people present and many people took pictures of it. So after the Jinmei Award Ceremony, the kiss was naturally put on the Internet.

Zhou Xu’s matter about being gay had long been forgotten and forgiven by the public. At this time, when the people saw this again, they only thought they were a good match. The two people were so bright and were probably only worthy of each other.

There were some homophobic people who were very disgusted with Zhou Xu and Han Zikui, but nothing happened.

Originally, Zhou Xu planned to go abroad with Han Zikui to develop, but when he thought about Zhou Xu (the original), he set that idea aside. He wanted to stand in this bloody storm and have people love, admire, and praise him, despite people all over the country knowing that he was gay.

After that, he intended to go international and open up a road to equality for all homosexuals with his own efforts. Throughout twists and turns, Zhou Xu liked knowing that his happiness was the enemy of the world, which was the last step of his grand chess game.

Three months after Zhou Xu won the title of the film emperor, the police released a video of Sun Yue, in her prison uniform, acknowledging that she had slandered Zhou Xu.

The video was shared more than 10 million times in a few hours, and the faces of those people who had believed in the slander, whether they were right or wrong, were beaten.

As for the police, who had always been lowkey, why did Zhou Xu’s name suddenly become high-profile? Almost no one cared, but Zhou Xu knew that his lover had been protecting him.

Lying in Han Zikui’s arms, Zhou Xu looked at his own 60 million Weibo fans and laughed. “Director Han, I may not act in your movies in the future.”

Han Zikui was also languid, having finished completely relaxing. Rubbing Zhou Xu’s earlobe, he asked, “Why?”

“Because I want to prove that your films are not the reason why I’m still film emperor.”

Han Zikui smiled. His eyes were dark as ink, but the tenderness in his eyes were as clear, which made Zhou Xu feel a spring breeze.

“Anyways, I’d like to take a break for two years. I’ll be your agent.”

“Forget it, I can’t afford you.”

“Free.”

“…”

“Free, completely of my own will. Pour tea, knead your waist and massage your back, take tea and pour water, pinch your waist and thump your back, drive, warm your bed, everything is available. How about it?”

“Pfft.” Zhou Xu laughed. He knew that although Han Zikui was a dog-like man, Han Zikui had a strong desire for possession. He just wanted to watch Zhou Xu and stick to Zhou Xu, so that Zhou Xu would not have any chance to escape from his palm.

Forget it. Zhou Xu sighed. He was too lazy to escape anyway. With so many worlds in the future, it’s worth it having a lover like Han Zikui.

Five years later, Zhang Hanshu was released from prison. When they saw each other, they were both stunned. Before he could react, Zhou Xu’s arm was grabbed by Zhang Hanshu.

Zhou Xu thought there would be a fierce battle. However, Zhang Hanshu, with a runny nose and tearful face, said, “Zhou Xu, please lend me some money. You are so famous. There must be some money. We are friends too. Help me with this, okay?”

Zhou Xu looked at Zhang Hanshu coldly. The person in front of him was no longer the original lively person from the past. Five years wasn’t a long time, but it was enough to change the person’s appearance from youth to middle-aged.

Pushing away Zhang Hanshu, Zhou Xu asked coldly, “How much do you want?”

“100,000, come on, you can lend me 100,000 yuan.”

“What are you doing with a hundred thousand yuan?”

“I’m going to find a job. I want to live a good life.” Zhang Hanshu’s voice was fawning, and he was bowing and nodding.

Zhou Xu didn’t have much sympathy for Zhang Hanshu. After all, the original Zhou Xu was killed by Zhang Hanshu. However, Zhou Xu took out a card and gave it to Zhang Hanshu, which is Zhou Xu’s last respect for Zhang Hanshu as his opponent.

Unfortunately, this respect couldn’t save Zhang Hanshu. After he was released from prison, he began to be addicted to drugs again. This moment of happiness made him throw everything away.

Five years later, Zhou Xu won the crown of film emperor again, while Zhang Hanshu died under a bridge due to drug overdose.

It’s ironic that Zhou Xu died when Zhang Hanshu became the film emperor in his last life. But in this life, it was Zhang Hanshu who died.

It was Han Zikui who told the news to Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu asked him, “Did you follow him?”

Han Zikui didn’t respond.

“Then you didn’t let anyone stop him?”

“I was looking for someone to follow him just to prevent him from hurting you again. He wanted to kill himself. Why should I stop him?”

Zhou Xu nodded, because if it was him, he would not stop him either. Zhang Hanshu sought death. This was other people’s matters, why should he interfere?

After Zhang Hanshu’s death, Zhou Xu’s splendor continued.

By the time he was thirty years old, he had taken the title of film emperor four times.

At the age of 35, he and Han Zikui founded a homosexual association to help and promote the acceptance of homosexuality in China.

At the age of 40, he and Han Zikui held a grand wedding ceremony, where almost 80% of in the entertainment circle came, and even government officials attended.

At the age of 45, Zhou Xu and Han Zikui went abroad for development.

At the age 50, Zhou Xu had won the title of international film emperor three times.

At the age of 55, he won the highest award for artists and the Lifetime Achievement Award.

At the age of 60, Zhou Xu and Han Zikui announced their withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

At the age of 65, the two traveled all over the world.

At the age of 70, the two returned to their homeland.

At the age of 80, Zhou Xu and Han Zikui laid in bed, holding hands, and died at the same time. There was no pain or suffering. Even after death, they were smiling.
