CHAPTER 862: CHAPTER 864: NOTHING TO HIDE

Unconsciously, the show reached its conclusion, and the host once more promoted the film "Special Action" with a brief interview with the leading actors.

Deng Xiiaoxiiao asked, "I heard this movie was shot in a war-torn country. Were you nervous going there?"

Jinxia pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, we weren’t nervous at the beginning when we first arrived, because it was quite peaceful then.

It was during the preparations for filming that suddenly gunshots were heard in the distance from the mountains. It was startling, making us feel as if bullets were really hitting us, and everyone was tense."

Finally, Jinxia added, "Perhaps the only one on site who wasn’t nervous was Gong Hongyu."

The microphone was passed to Gong Hongyu, who humbly said, "You give me too much credit. Actually, I was a bit nervous too. But I was more nervous about acting, as it was my first time, fearing that I’d perform poorly and hold you back."

Zhang Zhihuan curiously asked, "Hongyu, aren’t you afraid of gunfire?"

Gong Hongyu shook his head, "No, I’m used to it from training in the military."

Zhang Zhihuan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "A commendable soldier!"

Gong Hongyu smiled bashfully, not responding further.

Deng Xiiaoxiiao was curious, "Jinxia, you said you were scared. How do you relieve that tension?"

Jinxia answered without hesitation, "Listening to music or making phone calls can soothe my nerves, and it really helps.

Sometimes, at night, I make video calls, and I don’t dare to close them; when afraid, I look up at the people in the video, and I’m no longer scared."

Deng Xiiaoxiiao asked mischievously, "Who do you call?"

Jinxia smiled, "A very good friend."

She then added, somewhat unconvincingly, "A very close female friend."

Deng Xiiaoxiiao teased knowingly, "Oh—I won’t believe it’s just a female friend even if you add that."

Jinxia blinked, pretending not to understand.

Zhang Zhihuan couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Xiao, are you implying Jinxia has a boyfriend?"

Deng Xiiaoxiiao chuckled, "No suspicion, no suspicion. I’m just saying it casually, don’t think too much!"

Jinxia continued blinking, pretending not to understand.

The two of them were obviously setting a trap for her to fall into!

After the recording ended, the crew and the cast gathered together for a late-night snack.

Next, the "Special Action" crew would participate in another talk show tomorrow, fortunately still within this venue, so they’re spared from traveling extensively.

They expected to finish the talk show and return to the Imperial City to continue promotions, but then Director Qian received excellent news: a top-tier magazine invited them to shoot a cover!

Since it’s been four days from the premiere of "Special Action," and those who wanted to "overhype" it have been completely dumbfounded.

Because after the initial promotional wave, rather than the box office dropping suddenly, its earnings have increased.

On the first day, the daily box office exceeded 500 million!

On the second day, it surpassed 1 billion!

On the third day, it broke 1.2 billion!

On the fourth day, it exceeded 1.5 billion!

This daily earning has propelled "Special Action" into the row of blockbuster movies.

Although its total hasn’t reached the blockbuster threshold yet, its daily earning potential matches that of blockbuster films. Crossing the 6-billion threshold is merely a matter of time.

Once this achievement appeared, it immediately gave a slap to those who doubted them, claiming that the "overhype" tried to prop them up, but there’s no sign of any downfall.

With such strong box office performance, many were eager. A-list magazine brand "Fengshang Huaxia" rushed over after hearing the news that the "Special Action" crew arrived in Huadu.

They arrived aggressively, but upon arrival, they were extremely polite, speaking all kinds of kind words to barely persuade Director Qian to agree for the entire crew to stay an extra day to shoot the "Fengshang Huaxia" spread.

Director Qian didn’t initially want the magazine shoot; truthfully, he wished everyone in the crew could partake!

This is a top-tier magazine with far-reaching influence; those who can afford it are usually tasteful, capable, and wealthy!

The majority are women!

Whose money is easiest to earn?

It’s naturally women’s money!

The difficulty for Director Qian was they only planned two days in Huadu and then had to fly to the Imperial City for other events.

These were pre-booked events before the movie’s release, and the host committee, impressed by the film’s success, offered more money and congeniality.

Now Fengshang asked for a shoot; it wasn’t easy to coordinate schedules.

Director Qian, during this dilemma, called the event manager in Imperial City, who agreed to delay a day, allowing the memorable Fengshang journey in Huadu.

Speaking of "Fengshang Huaxia," it holds a connection with Jinxia as the first top-tier magazine she shot for.

Back then, her first leading film "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" focused on the workplace theme, coinciding with the "Worker’s Day" of Fengshang’s arrival in Huaxia.

The magazine staff valued this event and didn’t want to randomly include stars.

"Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" coincidentally became a small dark horse, reaching a quality line, making it eligible for the then unstable Fengshang. Thus, they issued an invitation.

Returning once more to the "Fengshang Huaxia" headquarters, Jinxia’s experience and fame welcomed a warm reception by the entire magazine staff!

Moreover, every crew member received a small gift from the magazine!

This is the benefit of fame; everyone seemed eager to cherish and provide everything for you.

Fame, status, money... all seemed easily obtainable with a reach.

In charge of the shoot were male celebs, and afterward, many in Fengshang surrounded Jinxia and Gong Hongyu, seeking autographs and photos.

"Special Action" is seeing roaring box office success, and at this rate, it’s likely to enter the top five for Huaxia’s year.
