Chapter 544 Xu Bao, Brother Xian's precious treasure!

In the film "The Vanished She", Ye Xian did not completely follow the original work, but made appropriate adaptations to the plot.

For example, He Fei cried when he saw the ultrasound image at the end, which is clearly inconsistent with his character. Was this meant to show that even villains have humanity? Or was it to deliver the fatal blow to the murderer?

Mu Zi was pregnant when her husband cut off her oxygen tube, but he abandoned her without looking back. Now he's been sentenced to life imprisonment. When a reporter interviewed him and asked if he regretted it, guess what he said? He said he was running a pig butchering scam from the very beginning.

Ye Xian felt that filming according to the original work would be disrespectful to Mu Zi.

Ye Xian even emphasized this scene to allow the audience to better understand the female lead's despair and the male lead's ruthlessness.

For example, the female lead's only best friend was someone she had never met before the wedding, and given that the female lead is worth hundreds of millions, would her wedding be so hasty? Why wouldn't her best friend attend her wedding?

The billionaire has been missing for so long, and the domestic companies were completely unaware, no one knew, no one inquired, and no one contacted him?

Believe it or not, if Ye Xian disappeared for three days, the entire Haizhou would be in an uproar. If he disappeared for a week, the entire Tang Dynasty would be in chaos.

A billionaire represents a powerful interest group, and cannot be controlled by a spoiled, orphaned young lady.

Therefore, Ye Xian slightly adjusted the other party's identity to match Mu Zi's true identity; otherwise, it would be illogical, and even if it was done to create plot conflict, it would still be a major flaw.

Ye Xian meticulously addressed all the flaws that viewers criticized, making the suspense film less jarring and allowing the audience to better immerse themselves in the movie.

This is different from "Hello Mr. Billionaire," which is a popcorn comedy that you can watch without thinking. This movie is a suspense film, and suspense films should be able to immerse the viewer, rather than being pulled out of the story by occasional plot holes.

It was precisely these subtle adjustments by Ye Xian that led to the film achieving even better results than "Otherworld".

After 15 days in theaters, "The Vanished" grossed over 62 billion yuan.

……

Ding Ding, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Chen Xu also shone brightly because of this movie. Whether it was Ding Ding playing the lawyer, Liu Xiaoxiao playing the fake wife, or Chen Xu playing the real wife, each character was distinct and won over many casual viewers.

Li Tingting happily manages Chen Xu's fan club account. Chen Xu now has over 5000 million fans on Kuaishou, making him a true A-list celebrity.

She used to treat it as a hobby, but now that it has become her job, she has to devote herself to it wholeheartedly. For many things she doesn't understand, she will ask Wang Feifei and Wang Yin, who are younger than her, for help. Only when she still can't solve the problem will she go to Sun Li and Ding Zhan for advice.

Chen Xu's fan club is also getting better and better under her management.

However, the trend took a slightly skewed turn. Under her influence, everyone became a loyal fan of the Bao-Dai pairing, with their motto being: "Xu Bao, Xu Bao, Xian Ge's precious treasure!"

Chen Xu was quite helpless about this. She wanted to refute them and ask them to change their slogan, but unfortunately, the biggest fan was her aunt, so her objection was ineffective. She was so angry that she kept complaining to Li Hong.

"Are you trying to play Versailles with me?"

Li Hong mercilessly exposed her true colors.

"No way, don't you have your own fan club too?"

Chen Xu protested his innocence.

"Can my fan base compare to yours? I haven't even reached ten million fans yet!"

Li Hong felt jealous when she thought about this; everyone had joined Qiuye Yanxuan, but the results were worlds apart.

"Be content. 1 million fans in a year, is that bad? And after 'Painted Skin' was released, it easily surpassed 960 million!"

The two were best friends, so they spoke without any reservations. While teasing her friend, Chen Xu said, "By the way, when are you going to hire an assistant for your home? It's been so much more convenient since my aunt came."

The entertainment industry is fraught with danger, so having close, trusted friends around you is truly important.

Li Hong's first major film has wrapped filming and is about to be released. It was understandable that she had few gigs before, but from now on, she'll definitely be inundated with offers.

"My relatives are chasing me every day to borrow money. I can't even avoid them. I can only have my mother come and stay with me now."

Li Hong was also helpless. She knew the importance of the assistant, but no one could help her. As an only child, she could only trouble her own mother with this matter.

"Hurry up and find a man to marry, then you won't have to trouble your aunt!" Chen Xu joked.

"Heh, I think you're just looking to get rid of one more competitor!"

Li Hong called out sarcastically, "Xu Bao, Xu Bao, Brother Xian's precious treasure!"

Enraged, Chen Xu reached out to tear at her, and the two of them playfully wrestled together.

……

Before "The Vanished" has even finished its run in theaters, the hype for "Painted Skin" has already begun. This time, Li Hong and Duan Fei are only playing supporting roles, marking their official entry into the film industry. Therefore, both of them are taking it very seriously and are also very nervous.

Li Xin, whose film grossed 78.5 billion yuan, kept comforting Duan Fei: "What are you afraid of? I was a fool back then too, following Brother Xian around to do promotional tours and give interviews. After a few times, you'll find that it's not that big of a deal."

Besides, you participated in the promotional tour for "Dream of the Red Chamber," it was pretty much the same thing.

That's you, heartless and cruel!

Duan Fei snorted, "I see Chen Xu brought her aunt to be his assistant. Your status isn't much lower than hers now, so who are you planning to hire as your assistant?"

Li Xin chuckled and said, "I brought my cousin and cousin here. One will be my assistant, and the other will be my bodyguard."

"Bodyguards? Doesn't the company have security?" Duan Fei looked at Li Xin in surprise.

Li Xin was a little embarrassed: "My cousin is so handsome, I brought him here so he can learn from me and become a live streamer too."

Duan Fei immediately understood.

As their status rose, they found it increasingly difficult to refuse requests from their families. Li Xin's cousin was clearly someone forced upon her by relatives, and since she couldn't refuse, she could only keep him by her side, ostensibly as a bodyguard, but really to create opportunities for him.

This is all just human nature.

In any case, the fees for assistants and bodyguards are deducted from their own income, which is not much different from other entertainment agencies.

Ye Xian provided everyone with the greatest convenience, allowing them to choose the people they trusted most to be their assistants. However, management still had to be in accordance with the company's management, and background checks were also necessary to prevent any strange incidents from occurring.

This is a rule that no one can circumvent.

Qiuye Select has been operating for over a year without a single bizarre incident, thanks in no small part to its strict regulations.

So, Brother Xian must have known that Li Xin's relatives were coming. The question was whether Brother Xian would be able to get along with Li Xin's cousin.

Duan Fei thought about herself and hesitated a bit. She was neither popular nor unpopular. Many relatives wanted to send people over, and she was having a headache about who to send and who not to send.

However, after Li Xin's witty remark, Duan Fei gradually relaxed.

Two pairs of best friends are comforting each other in their own ways.

We used to start from the same point, but now we're at different levels. Even though we're still a group, there's a gap between us. Even the best of friendships can run into problems.

Fortunately, they had only recently become famous, and they had all climbed up together step by step from adversity. Their relationship was much better than that of ordinary fake sisters; otherwise, they wouldn't have comforted and encouraged each other at this crucial moment.
