How did I become famous?

Chapter 137 The Young Lady's Gift

"What makes you say that?" Fang Bieqi asked. "Putting aside my promise to help you become a big star, I've already kept all the box office profits with you. By the way, how much money will I get in total?"

The young lady didn't say how much money it was, but she said defiantly, "I'll transfer all the money to your account tomorrow."

"That's not necessary," Fang Bie waved his hand. "Just leave it with you for now."

Since Fang Bie has decided to earn money honestly and fairly to pursue her, there's no need for him to touch the money they earned together from making movies.

Besides, if we really end up together, my wife will manage all the money anyway. Rather than having to worry about it later, it's better to not know how much money I have now.

Moreover, this is also a hub, a link connecting Fang Bie himself and Su Mulin.

As long as he has this money, Fang Bie will always be in contact with Su Mulin.

Then I'll have a reason to pursue her.

Quite expensive!

After Fang Bie said that, the young lady's expression improved considerably.

That's just how she is; her popularity comes and goes quickly.

Of course, this only applies to the person being addressed.

She was angry because of Fang Bie, and her anger subsided quickly because the other person was Fang Bie.

In fact, she didn't care about that money, even though it was a lot of money.

What she cared about was Fang Bie's attitude.

Moreover, she was clinging to the money because she was afraid that once Fang got it, she would really have nothing to do with it anymore.

What she feared was that she would no longer have any connection with Fang Bie.

But now the feedback Fang Bie is giving her is very good; at least it's in the direction she hoped for.

The two fell silent, with only the sound of the melodramatic TV series continuing to play on the television.

Fang tried to find a topic to talk about.

He was single for over twenty years in his previous life, and he has been single for a year since coming here.

He genuinely doesn't initiate conversations with girls.

In his past life, he asked a big shot, "How should I take the initiative to chat with girls?"

That guy said it was always the girls who initiated conversations with him.

At the time, Fang Bie couldn't understand why so many girls would take the initiative to chat with him and ask about his well-being when he wasn't handsome or tall.

That's right, it was the girls who wanted to keep the conversation going, not him.

The older brother said that you need to have something that attracts the other person, and it would be best if the other person could admire you a little.

Don't lower yourself too much; treat others with a normal attitude. Once the other person starts to admire you a little, they'll be the ones who want to keep the conversation going.

Show off your strengths; don't assume the other person is only contacting you because they value this or that about you.

This is due to one's own circumstances.

When a man wants to get to know a woman, isn't his first impression based on her looks and figure?

If you don't have good looks or a great figure, then you need to have other advantages.

Fang Bie thought it made perfect sense.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had nothing that made him better than the young lady.

Appearance?

The young lady is 1.73 meters tall, has a great figure, a great temperament, and her looks are simply unbeatable!

But he himself was nothing special.

It is truly ordinary and unremarkable.

It means having regular facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose.

They look quite harmonious, and with a little tidying up, they might be presentable, but otherwise they're just average. They're the kind of people you wouldn't remember if you threw them into a crowd—neither strikingly handsome nor unforgettablely ugly.

If you can't compete in appearance, what about family background?

Ha ha.

How can an ordinary commoner compare his family background to that of someone like Ma Ying-jeou or someone of even higher status?

Others spend money like crazy every day, yet their wealth keeps increasing.

People are too lazy to pick up a hundred dollars from the ground; in the time it takes to bend down, they've already made a fortune.

Therefore, compared to family, Fang Bie was completely defeated.

Then there's music and movies.

In terms of music, Fang Bie should feel ashamed of himself.

Although the young lady admired his musical talent, Fang Bie knew perfectly well that he had absolutely no musical talent whatsoever!

The young lady is the one who truly has musical talent!

To be able to finish a song of the caliber of "Blue and White Porcelain" in one night, and even to be comparable to the original, shows a talent that rivals Fang Bie's.

If the young lady's musical talent is Jordan's, then Fang Bie is just a substitute on the school team.

However, Fang Bie is quite confident in his film skills—compared to the young lady's talent for movies, he can truly be described as exceptionally gifted.

Actually, thinking back, what that older brother said in my past life was quite right. Since I have this ability, even if the original ideas for those heavily modified movies weren't mine, if my modified versions became hits, then in this world, it's my own skill.

Fang Bie doesn't have the photographic memory of those time travelers in novels who can remember the entire movie's storyboard, plot, and lines.

He didn't have any kind of cheat system or cheat code to help him "copy" the text.

But no matter where the idea came from, if the modified version became a hit, that's his skill in this world.

But he's still unsure whether the first two movies were an accident or if they're actually going to be hits.

So giving Liu Mang the idea and Wu Kai the script can be seen as an experiment for him.

If either of them had filmed it, it would have been just as popular.

Then Fang Bie will stay true to his original aspirations and not become arrogant, while boldly rewriting scripts to make movies.

There are also games and drawing!

These were two things I hadn't originally intended to seize.

But if you're going to change yourself to be worthy of the young lady, then you should make the most of your strengths!

I had so many good comic ideas in my past life. Although my skill level may not be able to reach that of those comic masters, my drawing skills and paneling are not bad!

With those ideas, he was confident that he wouldn't be too bad off!

And games!

With so many successful examples from his past life, he believed he could succeed too!

But that's all for the future. Don't plan ahead now. Not only should you change internally, but you should also start changing externally.

But first, he needs to know the young lady's preferences.

"Rin, I have a question for you."

"Okay, go ahead."

Fang thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of guy do you like?"

Miss Su fell silent.

What did he mean by that?

She glanced at Fang Bie out of the corner of her eye, then fixed her gaze on the television. She casually said, "Ambitious, talented, doesn't need to be outstanding externally, but clean-cut; doesn't need to be rich, nor does he need to come from a wealthy family; doesn't need to be over 1.8 meters tall, almost is fine; average physique is okay; I hate smoking, but if you can gradually reduce the amount you smoke each day, like no more than three cigarettes a day."

Hmm? Is what the young lady is referring to referring to? Then she asked, "So, according to your highest standards, what kind of person would you want?"

What did he mean by that?

The young lady paused, then continued, "Don't dress too casually; a shirt is better than a T-shirt. Dress shoes are more comfortable than slippers, and dress pants or slim-fit casual pants are better than capri pants. It would be even better if your hair was styled, and glasses are optional. Wearing a watch would be best, nothing too flashy, just a subtle style. Of course, I'm not actually that picky about these things."

"Mmm." Fang Bie kept all of this in mind.

Starting tomorrow! He's going to change himself!

"You've already asked me, this isn't fair." The young lady looked at Fang Bie seriously. "And you? What kind of girl do you like?"

She clenched her fist.

It was obvious that she was much more nervous inside than she appeared on the surface.

"Hmm," Fang Bie rubbed his chin, "That's a good question."

"I used to think I liked short-haired, lively girls, but then I realized that long-haired, quiet girls are also very nice. I like petite and cute girls, but I also like tall and slender girls. I always thought I was a fickle scumbag who was never loyal when it came to liking someone."

But not long ago I realized, it's not that I like this or that, I just like pretty girls with good figures and good personalities. I'm just... simply lustful.

".puff."

Su Mulin accidentally laughed out loud.

Seeing Fang Bie looking over, she waved her hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's not that what you said is funny, I'm just in a good mood."

She was quite happy.

He was pleased that Fang Bie dared not tell the truth.

This shows that Fang Bie didn't treat her as an outsider.

Or rather, there aren't many honest people like that these days.

Just like some girls who are materialistic, they also look at the other person's conditions.

But isn't a man's first impression of a woman also based on her appearance and figure?

Just like Su Mulin herself, her first impression of Fang Bie was that he was talented but not arrogant.

She first admired Fang Bie's talent, and then she came to like his personality.

There's nothing wrong with Fang liking pretty girls.

To be narcissistic, I am very beautiful, I have a great figure, and I don't think my personality is bad either.

So the young lady was very happy.

Sometimes it's like that: when you're with someone you like, and they point out your flaws, you won't get angry; you might even be happy.

Because you believe the other person isn't lying to you.

That's exactly how Su Mulin feels right now.

So she took out a gift she had prepared beforehand: "This is for you."

Fang Bie took the small box and raised an eyebrow: "What's this?"

"It's nothing," the young lady waved her hand. "I just felt that since we've known each other for a year, I wanted to give you a keepsake."

Fang opened the box; inside was a watch.

Patek Philippe.

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"I'm happy to accept, so you have to." The young lady stood up and went upstairs before he could refuse. "I didn't give you a birthday present last year, so this is a belated gift. That's all."

Watching the young lady slip away, Fang Bie scratched his cheek.

He accepted the gift nonetheless.

Moreover, he had already thought of a return gift.

That's the song.

So he needed to finish that song as soon as possible, then urge the young lady to finish her first album and release it, and then hold a small fan meeting at lightning speed.

Finally, it was on New Year's Eve.

That was also their birthday.

Fang Bie's birthday is December 31st, and the young lady's is January 1st.

Then, at exactly midnight, he was to sing that song for her on stage.

Fang took out his phone and checked it. There were still a few months left. If he worked hard, it should be enough.

He called Liu Mang: "Fatty, meet me at the company entrance at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Liu Mang said weakly, "Big brother, instead of having a proper candlelight dinner with Miss Su on Qixi Festival, you called me?"

Fang Bie was taken aback. "Huh? Today is Qixi Festival?"
