Shi Pang had been in a bad mood recently. As the golden supporting actor of the industry, even though he didnt have that many young male and female admirers that those idols had, he had quite a lot of passerby fans. This time, he was faced with a male lead who was pulled in by the investors. The male leads expressions were so stiff, it was as though he was wearing a mask, and he didnt even have any sense of the cameras. Every time Shi Pang filmed with him, he felt as though he was suffering. Yet, the other party had relied on his rich and powerful background to put on airs in the production set. He would even criticise others at times, as though it was entirely the fault of others that the filming oue wasnt ideal, and it had nothing to do with him at all. When this situation persisted for more than half a month, regardless of how good-tempered Shi Pang was, he looked gloomier with each passing day.
The crew on set knew that he wasnt in a good mood, hence they privately sought him out and spoke nicely to him, and even requested for him to help the new guy along. Shi Pang almost exploded in rage. He could certainly help regr rookies, but this particr one, no one could help.
However, he couldnt make the situation look too ugly. He wasnt good looking, so there was a limit to the roles he could y. In the past few years, there was a surge of variety show stars who werent good looking, but were veryedic. After these stars became popr, they ventured into acting. To him, this was a real threat, because their acting trajectories were too simr, and when directors were casting actors, they now had more choices.
Just as Shi Pang thought that he was supposed to continue tolerating this, the production suddenly changed the male lead. That overbearing rookie disappeared without a trace overnight, and the crew also didnt like to mention him. The new male lead was an idol that hispany was promoting recently. Even though his acting skills were not outstanding, he was humble and personable, hence the filming proceeded smoothly.
It was only when filming concluded and he returned to hispany that he discovered why that rookie was reced. It turned out that this rookie was ted to participate in a programme at the television station, but he was throwing a tantrum in the make-up room, and even threw his coffee onto the ground. Unexpectedly, that boiling hot coffee spilled onto Ning Xis leg as she happened to walk past, causing Ning Xi to have to urgently halt her filming so that she could go to the hospital for treatment.
To an actor, a burn could be something extremely serious. Fortunately, the amount spilled on Ning Xi wasnt much, so after treatment, there wasnt a scar on Ning Xis leg. However, Chang Shi Gui was reportedly apanying Ning Xi that day, and when the incident happened, Mr. Chang didnt say a word. He simply carried Ning Xi up in his arms, quickly cleaned her wound and sent her to the hospital.
As for the rookie who caused trouble, Mr. Chang didnt even spare him a nce.
However, the next day, all rted news about this rookie disappeared, and the entire entertainment industry didnt have any news about him anymore.
After listening to his managers narration of the events, Shi Pang shook his head and said, He deserved it. These people with character ws would only be hated regardless of the industry they''re in. However, for the fact that he could injure Mrs. Chang, he was probably out of luck. He wasnt exaggerating when he said this. The entire country knew that Goddess Nings husband came from a prestigious family, and pampered her to the bone. The couple seldom had public disys of affection, but whenever people witnessed the couple together, they would certainly be pped with a bowl of dog food.
During Ning Xi and Chang Shi Guis wedding, Shi Pang had received an invitation because he was an artist under Jiuji. He was still filming then, and if others were getting married, he probably would have simply sent a gift and skipped the event. However, for Ning Xis wedding, he had worked overnight, then took leave from work and rushed over specially.
Ning Xi and him were good friends in the industry anyway, and together with Chang Shi Guis identity, who in Jiuji wouldnt make the effort for her?
When he rushed to the wedding venue, he didnt know how to describe the scene before him. It was probably beautiful, extravagant,vish, graceful, impressive, and it was fortunate that he wasnt attached. If his girlfriend saw such a wedding venue and requested for their wedding to meet these standards, he would probably cry.
A wedding gown that was so morous that most women couldnt turn their eyes away from, a crown embellished with jewels of unthinkable prices, and when the couple exchanged their rings, it was a pair of limited edition couple rings, the only pair in the world. Every single item would make people feel depressed over how poor they were.
The guests who arrived at the banquet were also a feast for the eyes. There were faces that one would only be able to watch on the news, but now, all of them were grinning widely as they offered their best wishes to the newlyweds. An actor like him didnt even dare to go up to speak to them.
This was what true aristocracy looked like. Even those whose families were worth hundreds of millions of dors were reduced to nothing in front of the Chang family.
He thought that after the wedding, what Ning Xi might face were reduced acting projects, or she might even retire, and be forced by her mother-inw to give birth. Yet, it has been three years since Ning Xi married, but every year, she would still participate in a blockbuster. Her poprity only got higher, and her value and position were at its peak. It was a position that many celebrities couldnt even wish for even if they worked hard their entire lives.
Back then, the impable acting that she showed in A Fathers Selfless Love gave her the Best Actress award at the Thousand Flowers Awards. Later on, she was nominated at the Oscars for her performance in The Unrivalled 3. She didnt win in the end, but given her age, to be able to receive a nomination was already a feat that the local media could boast about.
Just like how one credible media news outlet said, Shes still young, so her possibilities are endless.
Shi Pang believed these words.
------------------------------------------------------------
It was a snowy night. There were still quite a number of couples walking in the za of the cinema. Two figures who were wrapped tightly from top to toe, with only their eyes uncovered, were carrying arge popcorn bucket and walking out of the cinema.
Probably because the snowy ground was too slippery, the youngdy stumbled after a few steps, but her boyfriend reacted quickly, and quickly supported her at her waist.
The Daily Collection was the most popr live streaming programme on Feiteng Medias inte site. Even though it was a live stream, the production crew was extremely serious about their work. Not only did they prepare professional microphones, they had also prepared the best handheld cameras. They would frequently appear at crowded venues and interview random passersby, asking them interesting questions, rewarding them with vouchers, and use the opportunity to promote positive things or some security know-hows.
Today is Christmas Day. After this festival spread to China, it became a festival for locals to feast and have fun. Hence, when this season arrived, things would be very lively.
The host swept her gaze across the za, and interviewed a few couples. In the end, he noticed a couple who were wearing matching winter wear. The couple was well-protected, hence she brought her cameraman over to them.
Excuse me, do you have a minute?
When Ning Xi saw a microphone appear in front of her, she stepped back immediately, then unwittingly tightened her scarf over her face.
When the host saw her reaction, she thought that she had scared the other person, hence she exined, Im the host of Feiteng Medias The Daily Collection. We have a few questions to ask yourpanion and you, could we take up two minutes of your time?
Because the host didnt know what their rtionship was, hence she used the termpanion.
Ah? Ning Xi had never expected this. She was simplying out discreetly to celebrate Christmas with Chang Shi Gui, yet she encountered this live stream. When she looked at the young hosts expectant gaze, she could only nod her head.
Thank you. The host signalled for the cameraman behind her to raise his camera, which was still just filming the snowy ground, to film them.
This was also another reason why their live show was so well-received. The host respected the privacy of the passersby. Before the passersby agreed to an interview, the camera would always focus intentionally on the sights around, or on the roads, and only when the other party agreed would they would film the people.
May I ask, are the two of you a couple?
Ning Xi nodded, while Chang Shi Gui ced his hand on Ning Xis shoulder. Even though they didnt speak, his actions showed it all. The cameraman used his phone and intentionally zoomed in on the hand he ced on Ning Xis shoulder.
Pardon me, but how long have you been together?
Ning Xi said, Five years.
Five years, two months and twenty-eight days was Chang Shi Guis response.
The host chuckled, This handsome man has a really good memory. It looks like he loves you very much. To calcte the time they spent together so precisely showed that he ced a lot of emphasis on their days together. Perhaps, to him, that day might be extremely important, hence he would calcte it so clearly.
Ning Xi turned to look at Chang Shi Gui, her eyes curling up into smiles as she looked at him.
Im going to ask you another question. Normally when you are together, who cooks more often?
Ning Xi continued to look happily at Chang Shi Gui, while thetter replied in a cheery voice, Thats me. Oil and smoke affects the skin too much, so I cant bear to let her into the kitchen. In reality, after the couple got married, Chang Shi Gui didnt really cook much. Most of the time, their meals would be prepared by the helpers at home. However, when both of them were free, Chang Shi Gu would never forget to prepare a table of dishes for Ning Xi.
The host asked them a few more questions. Heres the final question. Do you think that sixty years from now, the two of you will remain as loving?
"Yes," Chang Shi Gui nodded, We will for this lifetime.
Ning Xi nodded, Definitely.
In reality, it was so difficult to find a man who suited her, so the only way to maintain this rtionship was to cherish him.
It was only after Ning Xi and Chang Shi Gui had left that the host realised that the vehicle they boarded was actually close to ten million dors. The cameraman even filmed the car, but because of the distance and angle, the car te number was blurry, so theizens watching the stream couldnt take a good look.
At this moment, the bullet screen [1] on the live tform was covered by so muchments that it almost filled out the entire image.
Netizen 1: The uploaders random pick was a rich couple. Asking about the psychological impact on the uploader now.
Netizen 11: Even though I dont want to say this, I think that the young woman that the uploader interviewed looks very familiar. And the couple has been together for five years, two months and twenty eight days, doesnt that feel somewhat familiar to you?
Unfortunately, thement from thisizen didnt get anyones attention.
Perhaps some timeter, someone would eventually discover that the couple who had randomly appeared on the stream was actually Ning Xi and her husband.
After all With the invincible onlookers around, nothing was impossible.
No one would ever know, but perhaps one day, someone who brushed past your shoulder might be a celebrity that you previously liked.
This was the beauty of the world - fate was something that was so unpredictable.
