The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

The next morning, Xiaoyue put on her mask and hat again, and went to work at Tianyu wearing a black woolen coat.

But before she arrived at Tianyu, she received a call from Brother Qing.

"Xiao Yue, you didn't come to work at Tianyu today, did you?"

Xiao Yue was startled, something was wrong, and asked, "Uh, no, what's wrong?"

Brother Qing on the other end of the phone let out a long sigh and said, "Luckily you didn't come. Our Tianyu entrance is full of reporters, all holding cameras, waiting to take pictures of you."

Xiaoyue held down her phone and said to Master Li, "Let's go to Yuexiang." Then she let go and said, "Thank you, Brother Qing, for telling me. I'll go to Tianyu when no one is waiting for me."

"You're welcome, aren't you? I'm hanging up now. I'll let you know if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue looked at the road outside the car. Hmm? Already heading towards Yuexiang?

Master Li seemed very happy and proud, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss, I know the roads in Beijing very well, and it's no problem for me to avoid those reporters."

At this time, Xiaoyue's cell phone rang again. She saw it was Ma Li calling.

This made Xiaoyue feel uneasy. Could Yuexiang also be blocked by reporters? Was he being forced into a corner? No, there was still a film crew to go to.

"Hey, are there reporters blocking the entrance to the company?"

Ma Li said in surprise: "Boss Cheng, how did you know? Could they have been blocked at the gate?"

Ma Li was so frightened that she stood up from her chair and rushed downstairs to save Xiaoyue.

"Hey, don't worry, I didn't go to the company. I think we can recruit more security guards, what do you think?"

Xiaoyue is now very worried about her own safety and she won't be able to live like this from now on.

Ma Li was immediately relieved: "Okay, Mr. Cheng, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue saw that the route Master Li was driving had changed again. Where was he going?

"Miss, where are we going now?" Master Li was very proud.

Xiao Yue thought for a moment and said, "I remember the film and television city has more than one gate on the Yuexiang Entertainment side, right? Let's go to the other gate and you let me down."

"Okay, that's the gate I'm going to."

Finally they arrived at the place. Xiaoyue got off the car and sneaked into the film and television city like a thief. Fortunately, she had her pass with her.

I don’t know why, but there were very few people in the film and television city today. Xiaoyue entered the shooting studio smoothly, and many people didn’t even recognize her.

"Boss Cheng? Didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Wu Hao had a half-smile on his face, and Xiaoyue wanted to beat him up when she saw him.

Xiao Yue thought, this guy must know that he is being blocked by reporters everywhere, right? Look at how proud he is.

At this time, everyone in the studio also recognized Xiaoyue, and their eyes sparkled as they shouted, "Hello, President Cheng."

Xiaoyue waved at them as a greeting.

"How's the shooting going?"

Wu Hao said, "It's OK. It's basically as planned. In another week, we can move to Jinshi. The aquarium there is very welcoming to us. As long as we shoot, the aquarium will be closed."

Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, she did not affect the filming of the crew.

"Where are Zhang Zehua and Xue Ying'er?" Xiaoyue felt like she hadn't seen them for several days.

"They are putting on makeup in the dressing room. They will have their big scene later."

Xiaoyue turned and walked towards the dressing room, and took a look at their conditions. Since she was already there, it would be wrong not to say hello.

Before I even entered the dressing room, I heard voices.

"Zhang Zehua, let me tell you, I have Mr. Cheng's autograph card, but it's the only one on the Internet."

"Tsk, Xue Ying'er, didn't you see the trending searches? Now five more people have posted Cheng Zong's autographed cards online."

"How is that possible? You know, Mr. Cheng's autograph card is being sold online for $300,000 each!"

Three hundred thousand per piece? Xiao Yue was so shocked that she broke out in a sweat. Is it so valuable?

She calculated in her mind that she had given away five cards yesterday, no, six, and later gave one to Master Li.

That means there are at least eight autograph cards out there, which is more than two million!

Xiaoyue felt a little sad for a moment, but then she felt relieved. She looked at the balance in her bank account and realized it was just a drop in the bucket, just a drop in the bucket!

"I'm going to ask President Cheng for an autograph card later. She can't be partial and give it to you but not to me, right?"

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Xue, could you also ask Mr. Cheng for an autograph card for us?" The person who spoke was the makeup artist, and another makeup artist behind him echoed him.

Xiaoyue pulled back half of her step towards the door and ran away.

Scarcity makes things valuable. If I don’t leave today, this problem definitely won’t be solved by three or five autograph cards.

Wu Hao looked at Xiao Yue in surprise: "Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Yue coughed lightly and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave."

Wu Hao got anxious when he heard this and quickly said, "Don't leave. We still have a wire scene today. One of the moves is difficult and Xue Ying'er can't do it at all. We really have to count on you."

"Okay, I'll take a break first."

At this time, Xiaoyue's cell phone rang. It turned out to be Cai Zekai. The piano competition was over, so why was he looking for her?

"Hello, Mr. Cai, what can I do for you?"

"No, please don't call me Teacher Cai. With my piano skills, how can I be your teacher? Is it because I am more than ten years older than you?"

Xiao Yue was really annoyed by Cai Zekai this time, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Cai Zekai said: "Lin Feng joined the Chinese Piano Association today, and I was also invited in by him today. Do you want to ask if you are willing to join?"

Xiao Yue refused directly: "No, Mr. Cai, I am used to freedom and cannot stand being restricted by others."

Anyone who joins is a fool. This kind of association is usually very complicated and you cannot get involved in it by yourself.

Cai Zekai was dumbfounded. He didn't even mention this condition and just directly refused. How could he continue?

Lin Feng heard the conversation between the two clearly. He took the call from Cai Zekai and said, "Hello Cheng Xingyue, I'm Lin Feng. You refused to join just because you were afraid of being restricted by the association, right?"

"Yes, I am used to my freedom. Tianyu doesn't care about me. Besides, I have no intention of working in the piano industry."

Xiaoyue felt that what she said was correct and true. They could believe it or not. The piano was just for cultivating one's sentiments and it was fine to play it occasionally.

Lin Feng suddenly realized that the Piano Association didn't seem to have anything to offer Cheng Xingyue. Fame and fortune? Sorry, she had them all, not to mention the Piano Association. So what else could attract her?

"I'll give you an antique piano and you can become an honorary vice president. How about that?"

Lin Feng’s own collection of pianos dates back more than a hundred years. They are finely crafted, and it can be said that no piano lover would not be moved when seeing them.

It’s a pity that Xiaoyue is not a piano lover. She used to treat it as a toy and pursued the pleasure of playing extremely difficult piano pieces.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I don't have any feelings for the piano, and I don't plan to play it in the future."

"What? You want to give up the piano?" Lin Feng and Cai Zekai said in unison. She actually said that she had no complex about the piano and was not going to play the piano anymore? What was she thinking? She was obviously gifted and surpassed everyone. Didn't she know? She was now the "king of piano" in the eyes of almost all piano lovers.

"It's not a question of giving up or not. I never said that I really like piano!"

Xiaoyue said this very frankly. She didn't have a piano at home, but she would play a few notes on it occasionally when she felt like playing.

"No, you can't treat the piano like this. You are the piano king of our China."

Lin Feng didn't care about anything else and blurted out. Now he wished he could be in front of Xiaoyue instantly.

"The Emperor of Piano?" Xiao Yue was shocked. It seemed that she really underestimated the influence of those two piano pieces. Now she was praising herself so highly, if she fell down it would be fatal!

"Let me make it clear that I'm not some piano prodigy. I admit that I have a little musical talent, but it's not as high as you think. You guys are making me panic! If you push me again, I will never touch the piano again. I, Cheng Xingyue, will keep my word!"

Neither Lin Feng nor Cai Zekai thought that things would develop to this point. Cheng Xingyue could not quit the piano world, and could not stay away from the piano for the rest of her life. Compared to this, joining the piano association was nothing!

"Student Cheng Xingyue, don't get excited. If you don't want to join, then don't join. But please don't say something like you'll never play the piano again, okay?"

Xiaoyue was very satisfied with their attitude, with a smile on her face. It seemed that unless they took some drastic measures, they would continue to pester her.

"It depends on your attitude."

After Xiao Yue finished her harsh words and hung up the phone, she saw Wu Hao looking at her with admiration.

"Boss Cheng, you are the one I, Wu Hao, admire the most in my life. Do you know why?"

Xiaoyue regretted not going out to make the phone call just now. Now Wu Hao knew everything. Who knows what this guy will think?

"I don't want to know why, I just know that you should go to film."

This sentence made Wu Hao want to bang his head against the wall. There was something wrong with Mr. Cheng's way of speaking!

"No, Mr. Cheng, shouldn't you ask why? This is the correct way to chat!"

Wu Hao's words sounded somewhat earnest. He wanted to persuade Mr. Cheng to be a little kinder.

Xiao Yue was a little annoyed now, and didn't want to argue with him, so she followed his lead and said, "Okay, Wu Hao, why?"

Wu Hao was satisfied now and smiled. Mr. Cheng finally listened to him!

"Boss Cheng, things that are very difficult for others become nothing more than a breeze when they come to you. This is what I admire most about you."

Xiao Yue was confused: "How do you know I'm calm and indifferent?"

Wu Hao got excited, looked at Xiao Yue with admiration and said: "When we were preparing for "Sniper Phone Booth", you bought tens of millions of equipment with just one word. Later, our company bought it. When we were filming "Avatar", you easily came up with such a good script for us to film. You gave us 2 billion. And yesterday's piano, the pianist was so good, and you defeated him just by saying so. You didn't seem to have to put in any effort for these things. Isn't it a breeze?"

Xiaoyue's expression was very complicated, but Wu Hao didn't understand it at all.

"Wu Hao, do you believe me when I say this is all a misunderstanding? It was also very difficult and awkward for me to do these things, okay? You have to believe me, doing anything is never that simple."

Xiaoyue wanted to say a few more words when her cell phone rang again. Damn, why are there so many calls today?

"Hello, who is it?"

Xiaoyue's tone was a bit aggressive when she answered the phone, but when she heard that the person on the other end of the line was Nie Zheng's assistant, her tone instantly softened a lot.

"Assistant Wang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"You said the United Nations exchange group will watch my movie Avatar tomorrow?"

"Oh, OK, I'll ask Dadi Cinema to arrange a viewing room."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue looked at Wu Hao, only to see that he was looking at her with an extremely admiring look.

"Boss Cheng, you have established connections with the government? You are even hosting a United Nations exchange group to watch a movie. That's amazing! I feel like we are not from the same world! You are a god!"
