CHAPTER 853: CHAPTER 855: VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT

Now He Jinxia finally understood how much the outside world looked forward to "Special Action."

Beside her, Luo Chen’s slightly sighing voice rang out: "Look, even the ticket booking app has such high expectations for you. Some news media claim that the total box office of ’Special Action’ can break 20 billion, becoming the dark horse of the May Day Golden Week. Do you still think it’s an exaggeration?

Saying it could reach 30 billion wouldn’t even count as overpraising!

Actually, the people secretly trying to cause you trouble have done so much publicity for you. It’s their loss. After all, it was a near miss, just a step short!

Some marketing accounts had already written their news a day or two in advance, and the news released today was written yesterday.

And yesterday, ’Special Action’ had just premiered, so the box office couldn’t be counted in real-time. Estimating that yesterday, those who secretly looked down on you didn’t expect your movie to receive both critical acclaim and box office success!"

Luo You stood up, patted her shoulder, a happy expression barely hidden on his calm face: "I also went to see ’Special Action’ yesterday. It’s very good, exceptionally good! Truly worthy of being a movie shot in the War-torn Country; the fear you endured there was worth it!

Jinxia, I dare say, no need to wait for ’Devil’s Sea 4’ to premiere. Just one ’Special Action’ is enough to make you an A-list star!

You’ve made it big. You’ve truly made it big!"

He Jinxia’s heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat surreal.

Could she not be clear about her own movie?

Both professionally and personally, she thought ’Special Action’ was well-made. She even believed that, in terms of plot, it was not inferior to ’Devil’s Sea 4,’ which she had just finished filming, possibly even better.

However, she could guarantee that in terms of special effects, ’Special Action’ was definitely not a match for ’Devil’s Sea 4.’

It’s one thing for the insiders to know a movie is good, but it’s another for others to recognize its quality.

The surprise came too suddenly, and He Jinxia couldn’t help but pat her face, trying to calm her restless heart.

Not knowing what she thought of, she suddenly smiled, feeling she might just be too exhausted from filming back-to-back, and upon suddenly hearing such good news, she felt utterly dumbfounded.

A sudden flash of insight struck her mind, combining today’s news with Sheng Yan’s unusual behavior when she returned yesterday, He Jinxia seemed to have understood something.

She clenched her fist, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flitting across her face. Good, Sheng Yan must have known these things already, yet he didn’t reveal a hint yesterday and even took her to see a movie!

When she asked what to do if discovered, Sheng Yan casually said they’d go public if found out, acting as if nothing could shake him.

Looking at it now, it turns out he was prepared!

He knew ’Special Action’ would explode, and she could be promoted to A-list star, and once she steps into that rank, their relationship would inevitably go public!

He knew about the situation from the start; that’s why he could speak with such confidence!

He Jinxia gritted her teeth, feeling a strong urge to rush to the top floor and settle accounts with him.

Next to her, Luo You saw her smiling, then gnashing her teeth, and cautiously asked, "Jinxia, are you okay?"

This person might have gotten silly from filming, poor thing...

He Jinxia snapped back, took a deep breath, and said with a forced smile, "I’m fine, never felt better."

Luo You quietly distanced himself a few steps, feeling a menacing aura lurking nearby, terrifying.

On the other side, Sheng Yan, who was being thought of by He Jinxia, sneezed involuntarily, frowning slightly. Was he ill?

In front of him, Zhang Ming was reporting the morning’s events.

"As you instructed, I’ve leaked a bit of information, and a few senior members in the company already know you’ve been photographed by the media going on a date with a mysterious woman. Now some media sent the photos to the company for a hefty buyback.

If there’s an inside person, they should act quickly. If we handle the rumors well on our side, they won’t get any news on their end. I plan to pretend it’s handled by tomorrow."

Sheng Yan tapped on the table lightly, then suddenly said, "That’s not right. We can’t slow down the handling of this matter. You must pretend everything’s solved this afternoon, showing the usual professional standards."

Zhang Ming’s work ability was excellent, dexterous in handling rumors and scandals, typically solving them by the afternoon when the morning’s news arrives, rarely postponing things until the next day.

Zhang Ming paused, perplexed: "But if handled too quickly, even if an insider quickly leaks information, outsiders won’t be able to trace which media took your photo so fast, right?

If I finish handling it too swiftly, they won’t catch any edge, so can your plan proceed?"

Only by knowing which media took the sneak photos can those insiders contact them to offer high prices for resale.

Don’t talk about industry unspoken rules; in this line, money talks, and one big score means retirement, regardless of whether it’s a second or third resale, there’s no contract for this stuff.

Sheng Yan shook his head, smiling slightly: "Nothing’s difficult in this world if there’s a will. If they want, they can surely trace the clues I left.

Just go ahead and do it, at the usual speed you handle my news, perhaps a bit urgently, but don’t delay too long.

After all, I’m the company’s cash cow, with significant international influence. If I have a scandal, the company will certainly handle it quickly to minimize losses.

If you drag it to the second day to finish, they’ll suspect it’s a trap I’ve set. Unusual things must have something behind them."

Zhang Ming nodded, secretly thinking: Truly cunning!

He thought to himself, thankfully he wasn’t Sheng Yan’s enemy. If he were an enemy, probably his intellect wouldn’t survive beyond three scenarios before being wiped out.

After discussing this matter, Zhang Ming intended to leave when Sheng Yan suddenly called him back.

Sheng Yan thought for a while, then slowly said, "How are Li Zimu and Zhang Yingru doing?"

His eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, somewhat sinisterly.

Although Jinxia had never talked to him about JY, he was uneasy about her and conducted an investigation. Combining the information Jinxia revealed to Luo You and his own data, he had pieced together about seventy to eighty percent of their grudges.

He truly didn’t expect JY to be so bold as to try to drug her!

This isn’t just an ordinary frame-up. Not only would it ruin a star’s career, but it could destroy a person!

When Sheng Yan first heard the news, his heart was filled with relief. Fortunately, Jinxia saw through their conspiracies and extricated herself from the mire, completely walking away and welcoming a new life.
