Because of the conversation that had just taken place in the room, Wang Kun subconsciously looked around the empty corridor when he came out of the room to make sure that no one had heard what they had said before leaving.
The maid, hiding at the corner of the corridor, didn't hear anyone approaching. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost been discovered.
Only when the corridor was completely silent did she feel relieved enough to leave. She found a secluded spot, took out her phone, and made a call.

The next day, Lu Wanzheng approached Xiang Yan and told him about it. Xiang Yan knew a little about what was going on online and knew that this movie was very important to Lu Wanzheng, so he agreed. However, he only moved Lu Wanzheng's evening scenes to the evening, and whether she could leave work early depended on her own ability.
Lu Wanzheng also expressed her willingness to treat the crew to the movie. Of course, it couldn't be everyone in the crew, but she was willing to reimburse anyone who watched her movie.
After discussing this matter with Xiang Yan, Lu Wanzheng threw herself into her work for the day.
That evening, the official Weibo account of "The Great Way of Life" announced the winners of the giveaway. Many people who follow the movie noticed that there was a very familiar name among the winners.
[Lu Wanzheng won the prize posted on the official Weibo account? Does that mean Lu Wanzheng herself will also receive ten more movie tickets?]
[This probably happened even before the official Weibo account itself.]
[Official Weibo account: Great! We can save the cost of a movie ticket.]
[Is the person upstairs trying to make me laugh to death by taking my homework? Would the official Weibo account really be short of a movie ticket?]
[You guys take your time reading this. I'm going to follow Lu Wanzheng now and quickly retweet her Weibo post; maybe I'll have another chance to win.]
The movie premiered smoothly on Wednesday, and the cinemas in Kyoto were packed. Many people said they wanted to see it a second time after watching it once. However, when they went to the ticket counter, they found that all the tickets for today were sold out. Upon further inquiry, they learned that all the tickets for this week's movies were also sold out. Many people could only choose to buy the few remaining tickets for next week.
That same evening, "The Great Journey" became a trending topic on Weibo, and the previous incident did not affect its box office performance.
As agreed, Lu Wanzheng finished all her scenes for the day at 6 p.m. Xiao Qifeng received her message and waited for her at the entrance of the film set as soon as he got off work.
Amidst the envious glances of others, she bid farewell to those around her and got into Xiao Qifeng's car.
There were still more than two hours before the movie started, enough time for the two of them to go out for dinner.
Xiao Qifeng found a well-known restaurant near the movie theater and had dinner with Lu Wanzheng.
After dinner, the two happily went to the movie theater. Xiao Qifeng was really looking forward to it. When they entered the theater, it was crowded with people. Since neither of them was wearing a mask, they were immediately recognized by the people watching the movie.
"It's Lu Wanzheng and her boyfriend! I wonder if we'll end up in the movie theater."
"Lu Wanzheng, I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"
"I want one too!"
"Luckily I haven't left yet. Although I didn't get a ticket to see the movie a second time, meeting the real person is a bonus."
"Lu Wanzheng, we watched your movie. You acted very well, you were so handsome."
The entrance to the movie theater almost turned into a huge fan meet-and-greet.
Lu Wanzheng was immediately surrounded by fans, while Xiao Qifeng was pushed aside. This was the first time Lu Wanzheng had ever encountered such a enthusiastic scene.
"Thank you everyone for your support. Let me sign autographs for the first few fans who asked." Lu Wanzheng signed autographs for the first few fans who called out for them. After she finished, she looked up and saw that Xiao Qifeng seemed a little unhappy. She immediately said to the surrounding fans, "I'm sorry, my movie is about to start. My boyfriend is probably getting impatient to see me on the battlefield. I hope everyone can make things convenient. It's getting late, so everyone who's finished watching the movie should go home early and be careful."
Upon hearing this, the fans readily made way for Lu Wanzheng and did not continue to pester her.
Lu Wanzheng smiled at the fans around her, thanking them for their understanding as she walked. She walked up to Xiao Qifeng and took his hand, saying, "Let's go, the movie is about to start."
Xiao Qifeng glanced around, nodded to her, and the two waved to everyone before heading off to find their movie theater.
As the two were about to leave, a fan shouted to Lu Wanzheng, "Lu Wanzheng, may you continue to walk the flower path. The kite string will always follow you. We look forward to your future performances!"
Many kite strings, having taken the lead, immediately echoed, "We will always support you!"
Lu Wanzheng, who was walking in front, was moved to tears. She turned around and bowed to her fans, saying, "Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard!"
Fans waved goodbye to Lu Wanzheng.
Xiao Qifeng intertwined his fingers with Lu Wanzheng's, their fingers touching, while his other hand gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "You work so hard, it's normal for fans to like you."
"I'm just a little touched. When I first debuted, I was hated by the whole internet because of Wang Xiyou. Now I'm liked by so many people. It feels a bit like a dream."
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at their movie theater. The lights were on full blast, and an advertisement was playing on the big screen. The appearance of the two made the people sitting in their seats almost jump up.
Clearly, the two have caused quite a stir again.
Xiao Qifeng and Lu Wanzheng found their seats as if no one else was there.
The people in front kept turning back to take pictures of the two of them with their phones, while the people behind kept craning their necks and trying to see ahead.
As for those sitting next to the two, they could only steal a few glances to the side, not daring to go up and say hello.
“You were attacked because of an accident. Netizens were deceived by Wang Xiyou. It’s not that you’re bad.” Xiao Qifeng lowered his head and spoke softly, not wanting the people next to him to hear their conversation. “Among your many fans, I am your number one fan. No matter how good they are, I can only be number one in your heart.”
The fans were so enthusiastic just now that he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The more fans there were, the more time and energy Lu Wanzheng would have to spend on them in the future.
"The fans are so enthusiastic. Now that this movie is over, I feel embarrassed to rest. I want to bring them more great works." Lu Wanzheng rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xiao Qifeng.
There were too many cameras around, and many people were taking pictures of Lu Wanzheng with their phones, making it impossible for the two of them to concentrate on their conversation. Lu Wanzheng could only say softly to them, "Everyone, please put your phones away. Let's just pretend we're ordinary spectators. Let's take a group photo after the movie ends."
With Lu Wanzheng's assurance, the people in front put away their phones and stopped taking pictures of her.
Even though they were no longer being watched by others, the two still kept their voices down.
Xiao Qifeng looked at Lu Wanzheng: "I won't allow it. We agreed that after this movie ends, most of your time will be mine. You can take on some other work in between." This is related to his marriage proposal later. He also wants to take Lu Wanzheng home for the Chinese New Year this year.
Lu Wanzheng touched Xiao Qifeng's hand, seeing how anxious he was, "I was just saying that, it won't delay our subsequent progress."
She was still waiting for Mr. Xiao to propose to her, and then they would find an auspicious day to get their marriage certificate. As for the wedding, she wanted to postpone it for a while.
The popularity of "The Great Way of Life" made her quite famous, and she believes that Xiang Yan's "I See Another You" will definitely help her reach new heights. These two successes should be able to realize her dreams.
She can't be too hasty. After all, entering the entertainment industry is just one way to get noticed, and not every method can be successful.
“I don’t want to affect your work. Even though I’m not getting any younger, and my family is pressuring me, I feel that we can’t put things off any longer.”
“I know that the movie will probably be over in about two months. I heard Brother Xiang mention before that he wanted to catch the Spring Festival release so that we could come and watch the movie during the Chinese New Year.”
"good."
Those around them saw the two chatting closely together, but their voices were so soft that those sitting next to them could only hear them vaguely, let alone those in front and behind them.
Although many people put their phones away, there were still several fans of the two who couldn't resist taking photos of the two whispering to each other. They secretly took out their phones to take pictures and then posted them on the couple's fan page.
As they were chatting, the lights in the movie theater suddenly went out, and the screen suddenly lit up, revealing the film company's logo on the green screen.
The movie started.
Apart from the sounds coming from the speakers on both sides, no one made a sound in the movie theater.
Xiao Qifeng watched the movie intently, especially from the moment his beloved girl appeared. Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her teeth were white and her eyes were bright. His gaze never left her for a moment.
Upon seeing one of them, Xiao Qifeng paused for a moment, "This person is my cousin."
"Hmm?" In the pitch black surroundings, Lu Wanzheng could only vaguely see Xiao Qifeng through the light emanating from the large screen. "Mu Ziying?"
She hadn't had much contact with Mu Ziying and didn't know much about him, but every time she met him, she found him to be a very aloof person with a noble air, who didn't seem like an ordinary person.
Now that Xiao Qifeng is said to be her cousin, Lu Wanzheng seems to understand something, but there are still some things she doesn't understand.
"Yes, he is Mom's nephew, her own son."
Lu Wanzheng was stunned. Mu Qinshu came from the powerful Mu family in Kyoto. Was she related to them? Then wasn't Mu Ziying the heir of the Mu family?
"No wonder I felt he wasn't an ordinary person. But why did he choose to leave his family's fortune and become a member of a wealthy family? Why did he end up in the entertainment industry?"
Xiao Qifeng thought for a moment and finally gave a direction, "His mother is also an actress, a film queen. As for why he came to the entertainment industry, I'm not very clear. Everyone has their own reasons for doing things. You have yours, and so does he."
Lu Wanzheng nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.
At first, Xiao Qifeng's expression was normal, but as the movie progressed, his expression darkened. The reason was simple: the characters played by Lu Wanzheng and Mu Ziying got along very well in the movie and ended up together.
In short, this man is jealous.
Feeling the cold aura emanating from the person beside her, Lu Wanzheng gently grasped his hand. "Don't be temperamental. That's your cousin. There's nothing intimate between us, don't worry."
Although Lu Wanzheng said that, Xiao Qifeng was still jealous.
This man simply sulked and was jealous, right up until the end of the movie.
After the movie ended, no one left their seats because they were waiting to take a photo with Lu Wanzheng.
Lu Wanzheng pulled Xiao Qifeng up from his seat, "Okay, okay, let's go take pictures with everyone."
Facing the camera, Xiao Qifeng didn't exude coldness, but he remained expressionless.
Because there was another movie showing, no one wanted to linger. After taking a few photos, they left together. Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng didn't want to cause any more trouble, so they left immediately after leaving the movie theater without lingering in the crowd.
-
I spent almost half a month on the film set.
One day after work, Lu Wanzheng returned to the hotel and received a call from someone she hadn't contacted in a long time.
"Hello." Lu Wanzheng's voice was calm. She knew that this person wouldn't call her for no reason; he must have some news to bring her.
“Ms. Lu, we have found out that your mother’s car accident was planned by Wang Kun and Zhao Ping. We have sent the relevant evidence to your email.”
Upon hearing the names Wang Kun and Zhao Ping, Lu Wanzheng's eyes became bloodshot, and a chilling aura erupted from her. She trembled with anger, and her hands clenched involuntarily.
It turns out that this matter is not only related to Zhao Ping, but also to Wang Kun. When Lu Wanzheng thought of that hypocritical and sanctimonious man from the Wang family, who looked so sad when her mother had her accident, she realized that he was the one who orchestrated everything. His acting skills were so impressive that even she, as an actress, was impressed.
"Thank you, I'll transfer the payment to you in a bit." Her voice trembled with anger. If Wang Kun were in front of her right now, she would definitely pick up whatever was at hand, disregard everything from the past, and beat him up to avenge her mother.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanzheng threw her phone on the bed, collapsed onto it, and buried her face in the blankets. She needed to calm down, otherwise she was afraid she might impulsively go and confront Wang Kun.
The room was quiet. Lu Wanzheng softened her breathing.
Xiao Qifeng had told her before leaving for work that he might be back a little late today.
At this moment, Lu Wanzheng was the only one in the room.
Lu Wanzheng faced the bed alone, trying to calm herself down.
After a while, she sat up in bed, calmly picked up her phone, opened her email, and checked the message that had just been sent.
