CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 869: GIVE EACH OTHER SOME TIME

Now Jinxia’s career is going smoothly, and she is very popular. Even if she makes her relationship public, it won’t cause much disruption to her acting career. Her status as a top-tier star is already a sure thing.

Being promoted to a top-tier actor through acting skills is very different from becoming a top-tier star through fan love.

The former focuses more on the quality of the work and has strong appeal, with fans only caring about the work.

The latter does not focus on the work and relies entirely on fans. Once a scandal breaks out, and the fans’ love is lost, the career will plummet.

Sheng Yan’s eyes darkened. He has endured these past few years, so why would he care about this little time now?

They both need to give each other some time and then find an appropriate opportunity to reveal it to the netizens rather than being followed and exposed in such a disgusting manner.

On this point, Sheng Yan’s thoughts coincided with Jinxia’s. Being exposed in this situation is like being forced to confess, like being caught in the act.

They haven’t done anything immoral, nor have they broken the law. Even if they were to go public, it shouldn’t be under these circumstances.

People say life needs a bit of ceremony; this way only makes it feel terrible.

The two hugged each other for a while, Sheng Yan rubbed her head, and softly asked, "Do you feel better?"

He Jinxia nodded but still didn’t want to let go of him.

"Don’t be afraid, go to the meeting, face it head-on and give an explanation to the fans who like you," Sheng Yan encouraged.

He Jinxia nodded heavily, took a deep breath, let go of his embrace, and firmly opened the door and walked out.

This isn’t her war alone; it’s a war shared by Sheng Yan and her, and she won’t be afraid.

Online, the news had been out for several hours, and the fermentation of public opinion went from curiosity to criticizing He Jinxia, then to blessings and support.

Of course, more than that, these three types of comments stirred the waters together, leading the trend.

[I really don’t understand, what exactly did Jinxia deceive you about? Can’t she secretly date? What’s wrong with an artist not wanting to overexpose their private life?

Have you ever thought that maybe her boyfriend is just an outsider, so she doesn’t want to make it public?

Did she eat your rice? She’s not a star who relies on fans to make a living; she hasn’t released albums or asked you to vote, instead, you always get little gifts from Jinxia every time you support her. What’s there to be unsatisfied about?]

[Actually...I also think there’s no need to exaggerate. Pang Hu is a very good actor; I’ve been following her since she was in a girl group. She’s really great, especially after transitioning to an actor.

She’s not a popular star who can only rely on fans; the discussion she has now all comes from her work, step by step.

We like her, don’t we also like every character she brings us, and admire her hardworking and fighting spirit?]

[There are a lot of Jinxia fans who are girls, right? Are girls so terrifying, not allowing their idols to date? Don’t tell me Bai He’s method has invaded the world!]

[Speaking of which, are there few male fans of Pang Hu? She hasn’t played many soft roles! Nor any pure school flowers! And nothing pretentious! Why can’t male fans let her date?]

[Trash star, ruined my youth, wasted my money, I’m unfollowing now!]

[Dating is fine, but why not say it earlier? Why wait for the media to expose it? I’m Timekeeper, and I’m also very sad. I feel like I’m not valued by my idol. What is she afraid of? It seems that the saddest and most disappointed are us, right?]

[How can you be disappointed and sad? Has a celebrity dating become something that needs to be clocked in and reported to fans? This isn’t fandom, it’s like raising a child, isn’t it?]

[I’m a bit disappointed in Fat Emperor. We considered her family, but she just wanted to hide it from us, treating us like strangers. It feels so heartbreaking QAQ]

...

The fermentation of online public opinion has affected the box office of "Special Action." After the news broke, there was severe ticket refunding across Huaxia.

It’s obvious it was affected by Jinxia’s scandal.

All the major ticketing software are opportunists. The initially underestimated final box office was immediately halved after the scandal came out!

Knowing this news, apart from apologizing to Director Qian, there wasn’t much else He Jinxia could do.

After the news broke, fans were emotionally unstable. Many are resisting, and these require time to smooth over, which is exactly what she lacks.

Walking into the meeting room, the experienced agents exchanged ideas, offering many response plans. Zhang Ming selected a few he thought were good, Luo You cautiously removed one from Zhang Ming’s selection, and then sought He Jinxia’s opinion.

He Jinxia sat listening throughout the meeting without expressing any opinion. This was her first time speaking in a meeting. Her voice was calm and steady, with a hint of determination—

"Dating is my own choice. I don’t want to go public because the time isn’t right yet. As long as I feel the timing is appropriate, I will naturally tell the fans. For now, I want to treat this relationship low-key."

Zhang Ming was the first to clap his hands in encouragement, "Whatever choice you make, we will support you. Go ahead boldly!

For an actor, dating, getting married, having children... are different life stages. Each stage should be experienced well, to portray the varied feelings of characters."

An actor seeks versatility, not limitation.

Limiting oneself to one style will only make one’s path narrower.

Zhang Ming has a lot of experience with the mindset of actors, especially since he manages a global superstar who lives by acting.

When it comes to acting matters, he can provide more guidance to He Jinxia.

After the meeting ended, He Jinxia went straight to the public relations department.

She wanted to write a letter to the fans, and once the letter was written, it had to be reviewed by the public relations department.

To check if there was any content that shouldn’t be released at this time, and make some deletions and changes.

Luo You was supposed to go with her to the public relations department, but after the meeting, he was called aside by Zhang Ming for a private conversation.

When the letter to the fans was finished, Luo You walked over looking somewhat lost.

He Jinxia had no time to care about Luo You’s expression. She kept her head down, typing the content of the letter word by word, and also posted a picture of the letter on Weibo.
