Chapter 254 Before the Public
Publicizing a relationship is never a trivial matter in the entertainment industry. The heroine of a relationship is always prone to gossip. When encountering a male lead with a high traffic like Shen Xingzhi, Yan Fangshu can foresee that Ren Limeng will definitely encounter another bloody storm after the announcement.
Even if no other agencies were to cause trouble, Chen Xingzhi's huge fan base alone was enough to cause Ren Limeng a lot of trouble. After all, Ren Limeng had only recently entered the public eye after gaining fans, while Chen Xingzhi on the other hand was not even a big traffic star, but the only real top star who had remained standing in the entertainment industry in recent years.
Yan Fangshu couldn't help but worry about Ren Limeng. Many crazy fans or malicious comments from passers-by had no common sense at all, and lacked basic human qualities. Even though Ren Limeng had a big heart, Yan Fangshu was still worried after experiencing this incident, and she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.
Ren Limeng, who has been in the whirlpool of public opinion in the past two days, still maintains a calm attitude.
Ren Limeng: Fangfang, don’t worry, I will eventually have to go through this wave.
Ren Limeng had certainly considered Yan Fangshu's concerns. Although she was prepared for what would happen after the incident was made public in the evening, she also knew in her heart that the situation at that time might be more severe than expected.
Ren Limeng: Now that the past events have been exposed, my brother Xingzhi and I both feel that we might as well openly admit that we are together again. Even if we can get away with it now, we will still have to face the same problem one day in the future. It will be difficult to explain our current silence then, so we might as well just go all out in the open!
Ren Limeng: I have experienced a lot in the past two days, so let the hot searches come even more intensely, I am not afraid!
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, you really love Shen Xingzhi (hug)
Yan Fangshu couldn't help but sigh secretly. Over the years, Ren Limeng seemed to have sealed her heart and locked her desires, devoting herself to her hosting career. She once thought that nothing was more important than her career in Ren Limeng's heart. But now Yan Fangshu has realized the attitude behind Ren Limeng's words. Ren Limeng really wants to stay with Shen Xingzhi forever, and doesn't want anything to become a potential hidden danger between them.
Even if it was just in front of the public, Ren Limeng still hoped that her relationship with Shen Xingzhi would not be covered up with all those pros and cons. After all, apart from the past, she and Shen Xingzhi were boyfriend and girlfriend, and since they were dating, they should admit it openly.
Yan Fangshu: At first I thought that after your reunion this time, your relationship was more of a mutual benefit, and you just wanted to take advantage of Chen Xingzhi's power. I didn't expect that you would really be in trouble this time.
Ren Limeng: We are also taking advantage of each other, but as we are taking advantage of each other, I found that everyone is sincere. Brother Xingzhi is so good to me, so I am willing to take a gamble now.
Just as Yan Fangshu was worried, Ren Limeng was also very clear that choosing to go public at this moment was simply a gamble. Ren Limeng rarely made such crazy decisions, but the other party of the bet was Chen Xingzhi.
Chen Xingzhi often doesn't brag about his efforts, but Ren Limeng sees it and can't help but remember it.
In fact, Chen Xingzhi has been gambling since the beginning of the show. Whether it is teaming up with her or publicly introducing her on Weibo, it is very likely to affect his career which is currently at the cusp of the storm. But even in the face of Hanxing Entertainment's covetous eyes, Chen Xingzhi still tries his best to help her, both financially and manpower.
It is impossible for Ren Limeng to remain indifferent, hosting this matter is very important in her heart, but so is Shen Xingzhi.
Ren Limeng wants to take a gamble and make it public. If everything goes well, everyone will be happy. If it really affects her career, she can bear all the consequences.
She is still young and has a long way to go in hosting to slowly prove herself. She doesn't have to rush. She is not as afraid as she was at the beginning to have other people's names in front of her own, because Ren Limeng is confident that even if everyone only recognizes her as "Chen Xingzhi's girlfriend", she can rely on her own strength to let everyone slowly know that she is the host Ren Limeng.
This kind of confidence certainly didn't just come today. It was just that at the beginning Ren Limeng felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble. She didn't want to get involved in this mess. But now, because of Shen Xingzhi, she was willing to go through a little trouble.
What's more, she and Shen Xingzhi had chosen to make the matter public and had naturally made corresponding thorough preparations and various contingency plans to ensure that this matter would go smoothly and as far as possible as they wished.
Ren Limeng: It's so hard to find such a handsome boyfriend, who wouldn't want to show affection (chin on hand)
Ren Limeng teased herself leisurely, hoping to ease Yan Fangshu's worries.
The original decision to make it public was not just due to the situation, nor was it just a deal with An Ling. To put it bluntly, she and Shen Xingzhi both had their own selfish motives. They were both willing to announce their relationship to the world, and that was why they chose such an opportunity at the same time, making it natural and irresistible for them to propose it to each other.
Yan Fangshu: Okay, okay, I know you are dating a handsome guy, a top star at that, but only you have the courage to touch Chen Xingzhi’s fans. I am still afraid that you will be eaten by them.
Ren Limeng: It’s okay, most of Brother Xingzhi’s fans are still rational. He is not young anymore. I remember the last time I read his super topic, some people lamented that he was lonely and wanted to urge him to get married.
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, wow, you really don't chase stars, you're so naive! Fans aren't as simple as you think. For example, after it was revealed yesterday that you were Chen Xing's ex-wife, your Weibo account went viral in an instant. Aren't you afraid of the crazy energy of his fans?
Yan Fangshu had to say one more thing to give Ren Limeng a heads-up. Based on her shallow understanding of the traffic and fans in the entertainment industry, she could already imagine the chaotic scene after the relationship was made public. She had already started to worry about the Weibo server.
Ren Limeng: Well, it’s not just his fans, there are also marketing accounts leading the trend.
Ren Limeng: Fangfang, I know what you are worried about. I can imagine it, but it’s okay.
Ren Limeng: Besides, Brother Xingzhi is a singer, not an idol. It is legal and reasonable for him to be in a relationship. Even if his fans are irrational at the moment, they should gradually accept it.
Too many people think of Chen Xingzhi as a top star in the entertainment industry, but apart from being a top star, Chen Xingzhi has long since transformed from a traffic idol to a powerful singer. At his age, he has won the title of King of Singers three times, which has directly broken the record in the music industry. Even the most picky passers-by have to admit his strong ability as a singer.
Ren Limeng also thought to herself that Chen Xingzhi might be a little distressed. He was obviously a talented singer, but his cool and handsome appearance was too eye-catching. Even her first impression after their reunion was Chen Xingzhi's handsome face, which had become more angular with the passage of time. How could this not be a problem?
Ren Li dreamed clearly, but when time slipped quietly to five o'clock in the afternoon, she was still a little nervous.
Of course, this tension isn't just a predictable yet still unknown reaction from the public.
"Brother Xingzhi, have you finished writing?"
Yao Xin and An Ling were tacitly aware of what Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng were about to make public. The recording of the "Mountains and Seas" program had just ended in the afternoon. At this moment, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi walked into a conference room in the hotel where they were staying in a low-key manner. Sitting at the conference round table were the staff of the Guaxing Studio who had arrived secretly long ago.
Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi sat on the sofa beside them. Ren Limeng smiled and spoke. She spoke softly, tilted her head, and blinked at Shen Xingzhi beside her.
There were still twenty minutes left before the release date, and she and Shen Xingzhi had not yet finalized their respective release texts.
To be precise, the Star Studio had already prepared perfect romantic texts for celebrities to announce their love affairs, but after Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi discussed it, they still agreed to use the texts they wrote to announce their relationship to everyone.
The issue of making the copy public is not that important. The public's focus must be on the act of making the relationship public. Therefore, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi are not afraid that their copy is not perfect. They both just hope that their copy can represent themselves, which is also a commemoration and record of their feelings.
Since she had been recording the "Mountains and Seas" itinerary today, and only just now did the public copy that Ren Limeng had deleted and reduced finally be finalized, she couldn't help but ask Shen Xingzhi as soon as she sat down. Shen Xingzhi turned his head and stared at Ren Limeng's smiling eyes, with a gentle smile that could not be hidden in his eyes.
"Yeah. Let's see if we have chemistry."
"This... there's so much text, it's a little hard for us to get along. I started writing a lot, but after finishing my 'essay' I couldn't help but revise it. In the end I kept this minimalist version. Thousands of words were condensed into one sentence. Either there's nothing I wanted to say, or I just can't finish it, so I just summed up our feelings in one sentence. What about you?"
The conference room was a confidential space booked in advance. Except for the two protagonists who were about to face public opinion, everyone else in the room was making final preparations in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Ren Limeng was finally able to whisper to Chen Xingzhi what she had been unable to say during the countless eye contact in front of the camera today. Similarly, she also took the initiative to show that she was not perfunctory in her public copywriting, so as to avoid Chen Xingzhi writing a long and eloquent copywriting and she would feel a little awkward because of just one sentence.
Of course she took it very seriously, but as a public relationship text, of course she had to consider more things beyond the feelings. Taking all aspects into consideration, Ren Limeng reluctantly deleted those words that belonged only to her and Shen Xingzhi, leaving behind language that was more suitable for public use.
There are certain things that she will quietly tell Shen Xingzhi when she has the chance.
"Well, like you, I only left one sentence."
Chen Xingzhi grabbed Ren Limeng's white hand, which was as white as warm porcelain, and spoke nonchalantly. His relaxed attitude showed no sign of nervousness. He held Ren Limeng tightly, as if he could see through the nervousness hidden under Ren Limeng's smile.
Chen Xingzhi's low voice made Ren Limeng inexplicably feel a steady and calm power. His deep and cold face revealed a gentle warmth that made the staff of Guaxing not far away couldn't help but look at him sideways, and it carried an emotion that Chen Xingzhi had rarely shown in public in recent years.
