Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 788 - 790: Overcooked

Luo You: "Over at Huaxia, because of those two short films, your relationship with Sheng Yan almost got exposed by netizens."

He Jinxia was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank for a moment. She almost heard it as her relationship with Sheng Yan being blown wide open.

She asked calmly, "What happened?"

Luo You: "These two ads, didn’t you feel like they were connected? Sheng Yan was in the Timekeeper specialty store choosing watches, picking women’s watches, his expression tender, clearly picking something for a loved one.

In your advertisement, someone handed a watch to a child, who then ran over to give it to you. When you opened the box, it contained the exact watch Sheng Yan had picked out, so netizens sniffed something in the wind, feeling like you were trying to convey something."

After hearing this, He Jinxia couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, such imaginative power, she had to admire it!

She and Sheng Yan weren’t even in the same location when they shot the advertisements, nor did they shoot at the same time. Why would netizens think this way?

But thinking carefully, the two ads did indeed seem a bit like Sheng Yan proposing to her.

He Jinxia lowered her head to look at the advertisements looping continuously on her phone, her eyes slightly widened, as she spotted a flaw, "The watch Sheng Yan picked out in the store is different from the one I received!"

Luo You rolled his eyes at her, "Once people are set on what they believe, a tiny hint will make them think it’s true, who would watch the details so closely?"

In the end, he added, "It’s good that Vanks didn’t dare offend you completely; the whole advertisement has many flaws. A careful explanation later on will clarify that you were shot at different times and locations.

After the rumors of you two being together surfaced, Zhang Ming’s side handled the public relations. Globally, every female spokesperson Vanks has shot advertisements that were identical to yours, effectively dispelling the netizens’ suspicions."

He Jinxia nodded, her expression slightly solemn, "You mean this was purposely hyped up by Vanks?"

Luo You nodded, "Zhang Dayou just told me that with their behind-the-scenes push, the news of your suspected romance with Sheng Yan spread so quickly. But with Zhang Ming stepping in decisively Vanks didn’t dare to proceed any further."

He sighed, "Even if it’s an established luxury brand, they still need to engage in false hype for the sake of marketing the watches."

In the public eye, the two were not together, so Vanks pairing them up equated to false marketing.

However, Luo You was wronging Vanks in this; Vanks was probably the first person in the entertainment circle to know that the two were together.

This time they dared to do this because they knew the relationship between the two; considering the online popularity of their couple, they thought to leverage this heat. They didn’t expect that just after stirring up some intrigue, Zhang Ming would call and scold them, making Vanks afraid to continue their actions.

"Be careful with Sheng Yan these days," Luo You said vaguely.

He Jinxia nodded, "I understand."

Although she and Sheng Yan had committed to each other for life, a person’s life contained not only love but also friendships, family, their own career, and more.

She was an independent person and couldn’t just retire from the entertainment circle and give up her career to be with Sheng Yan, so at this stage, their relationship couldn’t be revealed.

Even if they wanted to reveal it, they would at least have to wait until she became a top-tier celebrity, more compatible in the eyes of the netizens.

After all, in this era where public opinion reigns supreme, the multitude of netizen reviews can greatly affect a celebrity’s career.

In the evening, Sheng Yan managed to video call He Jinxia on time.

He Jinxia had just finished taking a bath and looked at the time. She asked in confusion, "Getting up so early? Isn’t it only five or six o’clock there?"

Sheng Yan said indifferently, "Six o’clock. Go to bed early at night, and you can get up early the next day."

A blush crossed He Jinxia’s face as she asked softly, "What do you get up so early for?"

Sheng Yan looked at her deeply, "You’re busy filming on set all day, and there’s no time to video chat. When we message, we often miss each other due to the time difference. So I’d rather get up early to have a chance to talk to you in the morning."

He Jinxia felt a bit embarrassed, "Isn’t that too hard on you?"

Sheng Yan replied, "If you feel sorry for me, remember to make it up to me later."

He Jinxia: "..."

Can she refuse?

Sheng Yan, reading her like a book, said in a light tone, "No."

He Jinxia gave a bittersweet smile, "Mr. Sheng, do you have a worm inside my stomach, knowing everything I’m thinking?"

The corners of Sheng Yan’s mouth slightly lifted. He didn’t tell her that her expressions were too obvious to him; he could read them instantly.

As they continued to chat, they shifted the conversation toward Vanks’ advertisements.

He Jinxia said, "Vanks really put me in a tough spot this time. I heard from Brother Luo that they wanted to hype up the CP between you and me?"

Bringing up this matter made Sheng Yan a bit guilty. Other people might not have known that Vanks would do this, but how could he not know?

Beyond wanting to ride the heat of the CP, the most important thing was that his relationship with He Jinxia was real, so Vanks wasn’t afraid of the hype backfiring.

The problem was that they did not time their promotion well. He was willing to reveal his relationship with Jinxia to Vanks, but that didn’t mean he wanted to go public just then. Vanks could not grasp this subtlety, which is why they got a forceful public relations response from Zhang Ming, complete with a scathing reprimand.

Sheng Yan responded vaguely, "These brands just love to create hype."

The next second, he quickly changed the subject, "How has the filming been going recently? I heard that last time a female staff member was causing trouble?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He Jinxia’s attention was caught by this topic. She replied cheerfully, "The filming is going quite smoothly. It’s projected to wrap up in another two months. The incident last time wasn’t much of anything; the male actor adjusted pretty quickly. The fight scenes and martial arts scenes are being shot brilliantly, and I’m pretty much playing to my strengths in this drama."

Thinking about it, she spoke with a slight regret, "Actually, in this drama, I’m the one holding back the progress of the entire crew. The regular drama scenes are manageable, but when it comes to fight scenes, I have the most NGs.

Although my flexibility is good, allowing me to execute a series of complex movements without issues, this drama also involves many gunfights, rear-end collisions, armored vehicles, and other modern warfare elements, which are types I have never challenged before."

"In real life, I hardly ever come into contact with these things, so I’m especially unfamiliar when starting. I need several practices to pass.

Sometimes, just to shoot a few impressive shots, I have to spend an entire day learning how to operate things. If I don’t master it on the first day, I have to continue learning the next day. Only after I master it can we shoot that scene, pass it, and then move onto the next.""
