Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 324 Bold An Xiaoqian

In May, the novel of "The Way Home" has been published ahead of schedule, and the final season of the TV series will be released in July.

As relevant departments relaxed policies on specific film and television themes, book fans and moviegoers from home and abroad flocked to the official account of Xixi Wang'an Xiaoxi to leave messages, strongly urging her to continue filming the "Homecoming" series.

As for why he didn't leave a comment on Hu Xiaobei's account, it's because he didn't register an account at all, and he has always adhered to his creative principles and won't easily change his mind because of external suggestions.

(PS: For various reasons, I failed to stick to my creative principles, so the later plot and interactions were not well written. I lost my original intention and even trapped myself in my own limitations, unable to write any interactions. I hope that those who come after me will learn from my mistakes.)
Left with no other option, the fans resorted to a roundabout strategy—launching an initiative online and taking advantage of a fan meeting held by XiXi.com to express their demands to An Xiaoxi in person.

I have to say, this trick is really effective.

Deeply moved by the fans' earnest requests, An Xiaoqian promised on the spot that she would convey everyone's wishes to Hu Xiaobei afterward.

Suddenly, an unknown voice rang out from the crowd: "Xixi, could you call Director Hu right now and let him hear what we have to say?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the sixth man raised an eyebrow, a sly smile on his face, and then clenched his fists in front of his chest, making a clear pleading look, his eyes full of expectation.

An Xiaoqian was slightly taken aback. Although she had been tricked by this sixth brother, she still generously showed a friendly smile.

As everyone knows, she has always been very fond of her fans, and she has a close relationship with Hu Xiaobei, so she doesn't have many concerns.

An Xiaoqian smiled and nodded, calming everyone down, and said, "Okay, then I'll call Director Hu."

However, filming a new TV series is subject to various influences and constraints.

Director Hu also needs to consider many external factors; it's not something he can just decide to do on a whim. So, don't get your hopes up too high.

As she spoke, she took the phone from her assistant and pressed the speed dial button.

Since all of XiXi.com's fan meet-up events are broadcast live on the website, she specifically turned on speakerphone.

After the call connected, Hu Xiaobei's gentle and doting voice came through: "Qianqian, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare the ingredients in advance."

An Xiaoxi blushed slightly and quickly reminded him, "Xiaobei, I'm still at the fan meeting on Qianqian.com, and it's a hands-free live stream right now."

Then, she turned her phone to the fans in front of her and said, "The fans all hope that there will be a sequel to the 'Homecoming' series, and they want you to continue writing and make a few more films..."

Hu Xiaobei was stunned when he heard the first half of the sentence on the other end of the phone, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

It wasn't until the topic of "Homecoming" came up that he regained his home-field advantage. He coughed twice, changed his tone, and said seriously into the phone, "Dear fans, thank you very much for your love for 'Homecoming'."

However, the entire plot of "The Way Home" was conceived and created within the same timeframe, and the story of "The Way Home" has already concluded in this season.

Furthermore, filming a sequel involves many complex business issues, so it's not suitable to have another one.

Upon hearing this, the fans all showed expressions of disappointment.

Some even frowned slightly, their lips unconsciously pouting, and they all looked at An Xiaoqian with pleading eyes.

An Xiaoqian felt a pang of pity for her fans.

She bit her lower lip slightly, and unconsciously spoke to Hu Xiaobei on the other end of the phone with a hint of coquettishness, "Xiaobei~ really can't we film it? Everyone's so looking forward to it..."

Hu Xiaobei paused, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, as if he could hear An Xiaoqian's soft breathing coming from the phone, gently teasing his nerves like a feather.

He sighed helplessly, and instead of answering, he asked a question in a softer tone: "Ignoring other factors, what are your own thoughts?"

Looking at the eager eyes of her fans, and thinking about the exhilarating action scenes she filmed in "The Way Home," An Xiaoqian hesitated before speaking, leaving some room for doubt: "I...I'm also a little interested in filming it...but it depends on whether it's suitable..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaobei's lips curled into a helpless yet indulgent smile as he said indulgently, "Alright, let me think about the plot first and see how to do it." Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, the fans' faces immediately lit up with joyful smiles, and they cheered excitedly.

Some hugged each other, some jumped up excitedly, and the scene was filled with jubilation.

That evening, An Xiaoqian posted on the official account of XiXi.com: "Dear fans and friends, I have some good news to tell you all. Director Hu is currently working on the sequel to 'The Way Home'~ Please look forward to it!"

Upon seeing this news, fans left comments and likes in the comment section, expressing their anticipation and joy.

"How dare you, An Xiaoqian! What kind of nonsense is this, calling me Director Hu? You're not to call me Director Hu! You should call me husband instead!"

This comment received the most likes and comments, and was widely recognized by netizens. The "change of address" quickly became a trending topic on major social media platforms around the world.

Hu Xiaobei didn't even register an account, so he basically doesn't read these comments.

An Xiaoqian is different. Even after the internet was cleaned up, she still reads comments when she's bored.

After all, she's at the top of her career, doesn't accept endorsements, and has a strong legal team. So, whether in real life or online, she receives mostly kind and positive comments.

That's how the entertainment industry is; no one gets up early for nothing.

Without a conflict of interest, no one would be foolish enough to make enemies for themselves.

If such people really exist, they generally won't succeed. Even if they are lucky enough to make a name for themselves, it won't last long.

For example, there was a certain Du Shamo who played the role in "Infernal Affairs". He often spoke without restraint and spewed nonsense everywhere. He even held a grudge against Andy Lau, who helped him so much, and called Andy Lau "Zheng Qidi" (Cantonese, meaning "not a human being").

As everyone has seen, the result is...

Moreover, An Xiaoxi is also a major shareholder of Qianbeifeng Entertainment, a company that has swept through the European and American film industry and topped the global box office charts as a leading lady.

Such achievements and background are far beyond what those little Karamis can possibly try to emulate.

Ever since seeing the viral comments online, An Xiaoqian's face has been flushed, making someone want to take a bite and savor it.

Hu Xiaobei unconsciously licked his lips and quietly came up behind An Xiaoqian, wanting to take action on the spot and give her a little surprise.

But when he saw what was on the screen, he forced himself to suppress his desire.

Goodness, judging from An Xiaoqian's expression, she's clearly already completely absorbed in it.

If I were to speak now, given the feelings we've built up between us, the consequences would be unpredictable!
It's worth noting that ever since An Xiaoqian turned 18, the two of them have been busy with work and rarely have a long kiss, even after confirming their relationship in private.

After confronting Liu Xiaoli and meeting with Jiang Cheng's relatives and friends, their relationship was now out in the open.

However, due to their own lack of ability, concerns about the future, and the promise to keep their vows before marriage, they may choose not to.

Although the two had a close relationship, it was a modern-day version of "love blossoms but is restrained by propriety."

At most, it's just a simple kiss, nothing more. Long kisses only happen once a month.

Hu Xiaobei and An Xiaoqian both restrained their emotions.

With Liu Xiaoli having already opened up, the two of them are perhaps only missing a suitable opportunity to cross the line.
