【Waaaaah, you heartless people, Hidden Stars Shine!】
【Who's crying like a baby? It's me, yes, it's me.】
【After watching the latest episode, I was deeply moved. It is thanks to the sacrifices of our predecessors that we enjoy our wonderful lives today. Their sweat and blood have forged this prosperous era. We salute them!】
【pay tribute!】
【pay tribute!】
【So when will Meng Zetian be logged off?】
【When will Meng Zetian die? Please, Brother Xiao, don't take on scripts like this anymore. Just seeing his face makes my hands itch.】
【+1, at least when I watched Zhu Laosan before, it was the face of the real-life Zhu Laosan, but this time it's Xiao He's own face, it makes me really want to punch someone.】
【Yes, yes, and Xiao Ge himself is quite handsome. His charm is off the charts when he plays a villain. While watching, you admire Xiao Ge's looks and acting skills, but at the same time, you feel guilty because of the plot. It made me very uncomfortable.】
【Huh? What do you guys like about him? You even like this kind of scum? The Chinese entertainment industry is truly doomed.】
【Seriously, what's the mentality of people who like Xiao He? Does anyone even like him?】
【Is it really that contradictory to dislike Meng Zetian and like Xiao He? Sisters, don't go too far.】
【666, Xiao He is just playing a villain, and it feels like netizens are going to drag him away and execute him? This is truly eye-opening.】
【Please separate the actor from the character! Don't project Meng Zetian's actions onto Xiao He! Xiao He is just a recent college graduate. Although he may seem cold on the outside, he's actually a super nice person, very kind to his fans and those around him, and has done many good deeds, which has been praised by the official channels! Please don't project Meng Zetian's sins onto Xiao He; he's just a good actor. Thank you.】
【I'm really laughing at this. The intelligence of modern netizens: liking Xiao He = liking the villain Meng Zetian = agreeing with what Meng Zetian did = treason】
【Haha, top students solve problems so fast, they just apply the formula and it's done in seconds!】
【This comment section is killing me! I'm so confused about what's happening in the show; these netizens will definitely need some medication.】
【I get it. These are the same people who imitated cartoon characters using saws when they were kids, and then grew up to report cartoons for corrupting children, right? You believe everything you see on TV. Can I give you my phone number? I'll sell you health supplements in my old age.】
【Haha, the netizens' harsh words warmed my heart; I'm definitely going to follow Xiao He.】
【Oh right, that reminded me. I'll also follow Xiao He. His acting is really good; I think he has a lot of potential. I'll keep an eye on his future career development.】
【Same as squatting. 】
Inside the villa, Xiao He, who was having dinner, shrugged helplessly as he looked at the situation online: "It seems I still need to keep a low profile for now, otherwise I'll really be exposed offline."
Xiao Chen, who was standing nearby, suggested, "Perhaps Brother Xiao could shoot some more funny short videos to market the show and guide the public to separate the audience from the drama."
"no."
Liu Rulan directly rejected Xiao Chen's suggestion.
"Xiao He has already done marketing with his last short video, so there's no need to continue marketing. Besides, the recent plot is quite serious, and the subject matter is rather sensitive. We shouldn't do anything else in a big way."
They've already captured the necessary buzz and traffic; going any further could backfire.
Liu Rulan wouldn't let Xiao He follow the same path that led to his downfall.
Xiao Chen scratched his head awkwardly: "Yeah, Sister Liu is so thoughtful."
Xiao He also praised, "As expected of my Sister Liu."
Liu Rulan had successfully become immune to their flattery and said with her arms crossed, "Instead of worrying about that, I think something else is more important right now—"
She looked at Xiao He and said seriously, "Director Yan just informed me that you need to learn some basic combat skills in advance. So now, in addition to the training class you have already enrolled in, you will need to take an extra course. I have already contacted the martial arts school. It will be the same teacher, Teacher Song. What do you think?"
Xiao He lay helplessly on the sofa, instantly losing all strength and ability: "Ah, I really am going to die—"
They have to study, take exams, and occasionally run around doing promotional appearances and marketing...
Xiao ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) He often wondered, wasn't he supposed to be a criminal in the entertainment industry?
This situation is quite different from what he expected!
Where's the promised killing spree? Why are we just studying all the time?!
He might be one of the most tragic "criminals" ever...
No, if you think about it another way, in today's society, anyone who doesn't progress will be eliminated. Even criminals need to keep up with the times, constantly learn new knowledge and skills, so that they can commit an even more perfect crime next time.
So it's not his problem, it's that times have changed, sir!
Liu Rulan ignored Xiao He's sighs and continued to dutifully describe the upcoming itinerary.
After explaining all the arrangements, Xiao He lay quietly on the sofa, his hands resting peacefully on his abdomen, his eyes completely closed, and even his breathing slowed down.
Liu Rulan: "...So you're cosplaying a corpse?"
"..."
Xiao He did not answer.
Please let him continue to live a quiet life as a corpse, thank you.
Liu Rulan, hands on her hips, had already seen through everything: "There was one more thing, but I see you don't seem very interested, so let's forget about it for now—"
Xiao Chen, who was packing her things, immediately cooperated and said, "But Sister Liu, I've already brought everything. If Brother Xiao doesn't want to know now, shouldn't I take it back?"
Xiao He's ears immediately perked up.
What is it? I didn't see Xiao Chen bring anything...
Unable to contain his curiosity, Xiao He sat up again and coughed lightly: "Alright, what is it? I'll reluctantly listen—"
Liu Rulan had anticipated this. She took the magazine from Xiao Chen and placed it in front of Xiao He: "Actually, I should have told you about this a few days ago, but you've been too busy lately, so it's been delayed until now..."
"Is the latest issue of CKOOL magazine out?"
Xiao He glanced down at the magazine cover and immediately understood the situation.
This happened right after I returned to Shanghai from Shanghai. Xiao He was invited to be a guest interviewer for this issue of CKOOL magazine. After the shoot, he was busy with the promotion of "Shining Stars" and auditions for his new drama, so he almost forgot about the magazine.
Now, after a little over two weeks, this issue of the magazine has finally been officially released.
Xiao He picked up the magazine with a hint of surprise and examined it carefully.
The cover star of this issue of CKOOL magazine is not Xiao He, but another veteran actor with billions in box office earnings. After briefly glossing over the life story of this big shot and the magazine editor's praise, Xiao He finally found an interview with himself in the second half of the article.
Actually, as a magazine interview guest, the questions you're usually asked are pretty much the same, such as hobbies, studies, family, and some interesting stories from filming. But Xiao He also had to answer some questions about his experiences saving people a few times, etc. All of these answers were arranged in advance by Sister Liu. Xiao He didn't even need to answer them in person. He just needed to go and take a few stylish photos as interludes, which was quite an easy task.
However, this was Xiao He's first time appearing in such a magazine, which was of great significance to him.
