"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"
The sound of the motorcycle grew louder, its booming noise making the entire space restless, as if a cool performance with its own background music was about to unfold.
With a sharp explosion, the handsome mohawk-clad man on his motorcycle nimbly weaved through the corridor and smoothly turned around, successfully causing the rear of his motorcycle to smash through the gang members who rushed up to intercept them.
With an unstoppable, savage aura, the motorcycle descended the spiral staircase in the center of the lobby with astonishing speed, as if traversing flat ground, without any hesitation or delay. Before the charging gang members could even react, it successfully bypassed everyone—
"Buzz—"
The roar of the motorcycle rang out again, but it had already appeared downstairs in the blink of an eye.
As the photographer stood there, watching the motorcycle rushing towards him, the slightly overweight man with curly hair was inevitably intimidated by the fierce momentum heading straight for his face.
Alarmed by the danger, his legs were already trembling involuntarily, wanting to escape, but his relentless professional instincts kept him firmly rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch, with only the motorcycle heading towards him in front of him—
There was also a young man on a motorcycle with a resolute expression, his eyes intently fixed on the road ahead.
"Buzz—"
The motorcycle braked hard on the pre-arranged ground, leaving a long black tire mark as it slid across the ground. Finally, the young man put down his long leg and stepped firmly, and the seemingly clumsy motorcycle instantly returned to its tilted position and came to a smooth stop on the ground.
"Click!"
The tires inevitably produced an unpleasant odor from friction, and the camera also showed some deliberately released white smoke. However, the young man's expression remained unmoved, displaying absolute confidence in himself and composure in the face of the enemy.
At this moment, the photographer believed that anyone who saw this scene would be captivated by this unfamiliar Chinese man.
Even though this place should have been the main battlefield for the protagonist, it still couldn't overshadow his brilliance.
Many others share the same idea as the photographer.
However, no one showed it; they were all just focused on doing their own thing.
Only Liya, helped off the motorcycle by Xiao He, had a hint of lingering satisfaction on her face: "Xiao He, I'm starting to believe that you're a big star in your country."
If she really were the female lead, she thought she would definitely fall in love with someone else.
The handsome Chinese man in front of me has a truly unique charm.
Xiao He didn't think much of it, and just smiled helplessly: "Fortunately, I'm not particularly famous in our country. We have many outstanding predecessors, and I'm still far behind them."
Liya glanced at Xiao He in surprise, then shook her head seriously: "Those who don't like you have no taste."
Xiao He blinked: "Then I'll thank Sister Liya for her kind words."
Lia immediately covered her mouth and chuckled.
The filming went very smoothly.
Before filming, many people didn't have much of an impression of this unfamiliar Chinese man. After filming, Xiao He was definitely one of the most talked-about people on set.
Xiao He even encountered girls who directly asked him for his contact information.
The girls were very pretty, but their foreign faces made it a bit difficult to recognize them. Xiao He had no recollection of them, didn't know them, and didn't know whether they were crew members or actors. However, adhering to the principle of caution, he politely declined using communication software he didn't have access to overseas.
Well, I did introduce my external social media accounts, so they could follow me when they have time.
Wow, they're really dedicated to getting attention and followers on their own!
Xiao He nodded with satisfaction, completely oblivious to the girls' resentful glances.
It can only be said that these girls were truly deceived by Xiao He's seemingly harmless appearance.
If they watched a few more of Xiao He's "murder" scenes, their restless girlish hearts would instantly "die".
Back in her room at the castle, Liu Rulan unusually gave Xiao He a few more words of advice, telling him to be careful abroad and to stay put.
Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan with a complicated expression: "I understand, Sister Liu."
Thank you so much. I've been in this industry for so long and haven't had any romantic encounters. I'm really lonely. These invitations from girls at least make me feel like I haven't been abandoned by the dating market.
Fortunately, Liu Rulan was unaware of Xiao He's inner thoughts.
Otherwise, she would probably just roll her eyes and then offer a "sharp" critique: "Whether they're after your body or your foreign relationship, you know perfectly well!"
After filming his scenes with the female lead, Xiao He rested for two days before immediately switching to filming with the male lead.
The male protagonist's side is much simpler, with no complicated plot. Xiao He doesn't even have many lines, just a simple "We're here!" followed by a pure fight.
The only advantage was the high altitude shooting, which made it quite challenging. The only consolation was that none of the actors on set were afraid of heights and all had martial arts experience. After adjustments by the action choreographer, they were able to coordinate perfectly to create a very impressive fight scene.
In the male lead's highlight scenes, Xiao He is naturally not the focus of the camera's attention, so he is mostly hidden in the background, sparring back and forth with the villain's henchman actor.
So this scene went by quite quickly, without any accidents or setbacks, and it passed smoothly and effortlessly.
Meanwhile, in China, Linghui Entertainment's operations team discovered something amiss.
-
Linghui Entertainment, Operations Department.
"I don't think this is right, is it?"
Xiao Zhou frowned as he looked at the situation on the international website.
"What's wrong?"
It was the same senior operations manager from last time, leisurely holding a teacup as he inquired.
Since Xiao He left China to film elsewhere, those of them who stayed in the country to manage Xiao He's account have had a relatively easier time. So today, this senior colleague has a rare moment of leisure and is preparing to sip some tea while secretly taking a break.
Xiao Zhou's words made him sit up straight again.
"Recently, there have been a lot of strange passersby in the comment section of videos related to Brother Xiao's stage play 'Twelve Mirrors'!" Xiao Zhou said seriously. "Most of these passersby are asking about Brother Xiao's name and identity, but the content of their replies seems to be diverting traffic to another actor."
"That actor seems to be performing legitimately at the Francoidete Grand Theatre, which is equivalent to the official version and has been recognized by the opera house. Some comments are still trying to discredit Xiao Ge, seemingly intending to define Xiao Ge as a pirate, or even blur Xiao Ge's identity as an actor and apply Xiao Ge's performance to this performer."
With the same stage play title, the same character portrayed, and both actors having Asian faces, many uninformed foreign netizens were actually misled into thinking that Xiao He's stage performance clip was a clip from that actor's performance.
This is similar to marketing accounts taking things out of context; upon closer inspection, it's full of loopholes. However, the information barriers between domestic and international markets are quite thick, so after this situation occurred, no one immediately clarified or explained it.
The comments section became a paradise for others to revel in.
They noticed something was wrong at first glance.
Whose online trolls have come to attack?
