Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

Once Jonathan had gone far away, only Li Xiang and Henry remained in the partition.

Henry spoke slowly, with a hint of amazement: "He is truly devoted to you."

Li Xiang picked up his water glass and took a sip: "Geniuses are often eccentric. It's both an opportunity and a problem."

"But Jonathan is definitely the most successful designer I've ever met, Loewe..."

Li Xiang sighed softly, then stopped talking about Loewe and turned his gaze to Henry across from him.

"Speaking of which, you're going to be a big star soon, and many designers will see you as their muse. But you still need to lose a little more weight."

"Superman is Superman, and you are you. To allow the audience to distinguish between the character and yourself, the two images cannot overlap too much..."

His words can be considered golden advice.

You should know that the person in front of you has maintained a superhuman physique for years, without wavering for ten years.

Warner Bros. was naturally happy to see this happen, as a real-life superhero-like star is a great way to promote and influence the IP.

However, this binding relationship is not so friendly to the actor who plays him.

Moreover, when capital thinks you're not good enough, they won't remember your past achievements; they'll just kick you aside without any psychological burden.

Especially for a character like Superman, there's always someone to find a replacement.

Then why bind so deeply?

Li Xiang naturally wouldn't say something that would directly offend Warner.

He could at most offer some advice through Jonathan's case, hoping that Jonathan was still intelligent enough to understand his good intentions.

Henry on the other side did indeed understand.

He glanced up at Li Xiang's figure, then looked down at his own broad, muscular chest, and fell into deep thought.

Li Xiang had no idea that without this invitation, he would have been cast as the male lead in his film.

Henry Cavill was almost forced to stick to the Superman character and remain firmly attached to Warner Bros.

But now? Gazing at the glamorous figure of this Chinese superstar across from me...

Just as Li Xiang appeared, Hollywood A-list celebrities took the initiative to greet him.

The design director who is about to take the helm of a luxury brand even came specifically to invite him to be the brand's spokesperson.

And I just heard about the importance that the LVMH Group attaches to it.

This prompted him to calm down and seriously consider his future path.

Tying oneself to the role of Superman is by no means appropriate, let alone worthwhile.

You should know that he is now one of the two male leads in Li Xiang's movie.

Although Li Xiang is undoubtedly the core of the entire film in terms of screen time and the difficulty of his performance.

As the person who attracts him and makes him fall deeply in love, he only needs to show his unique charm in the movie.

Putting everything else aside, gaining a large number of fans is definitely not a problem.

This group of viewers will naturally be distinguished from Superman's fans, and he will not be confined to a single screen image.

Few people in this world are not ambitious. Even if they claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune, they will all strive for the opportunity to become a global sensation.

"I will do my best to lose weight and adjust my physique to achieve the state described in the script."

Li Xiang laughed upon hearing this: "Not just you, I also need to control my figure for the next six months."

"Given our current ages, we already differ from the original characters. To avoid backlash from book fans, we can only work together."

Li Xiang was naturally in a good mood when faced with such a teachable young man.

This may also include the sense of accomplishment from being able to change the fate of others.

Regardless, he felt a greater sense of approval for the man about to embark on his journey; at least he wasn't stupid, and they could walk side by side.

Just then, the waiter brought out the dessert, and its sweet aroma slowly spread.

Henry picked up the small spoon, looked up at Li Xiang, and asked, "Li, may I call you that?"

"Of course, no problem."

"I'd like to ask, what are your plans after this movie is finished?" Henry leaned forward slightly and asked earnestly.

"You should know that once an actor is labeled as a superhero movie star, when it comes to awards..."

He paused slightly, but Li Xiang understood. He picked up his spoon, scooped up some dessert from his plate, and calmly began:

"Is it a stereotype bias that makes it difficult for people to judge your performance as a serious, character-driven acting work?"

"They might even think you're just a bunch of crazy people yelling at thin air..."

Because they are in a good mood, or because they have become familiar with each other, or perhaps because they can no longer hide their temper.

During the conversation, Li Xiang revealed his sharp tongue to Henry for the first time.

Henry was speechless for a moment before continuing, "You know, even though superhero movies are getting bigger and bigger at the box office."

"But in terms of awards, and even acting reputation, the Academy has already crossed us off, so I'd like to know, do you have any plans to compete for awards with this film?"

Li Xiang truly hadn't expected that Da Chao, standing before him, harbored such great ambitions.

Even before "Superman" was released, he was already thinking about taking two paths: gaining both fame and awards.

However, he has always been ambitious, and there was nothing to hide anyway.

If we can give him a boost, it will only be more beneficial to the final effect of the film.

Moreover, this person's acting skills are currently far inferior to his own, so he naturally has no concerns.

So he slowly nodded: "Of course, not only do we send them, but we send them all over the place. We send them not only from North America, but also from Europe."

Looking at Henry, whose lips were gradually curling into a smile, Li Xiang continued, "Cannes is out of the question, because I will be their judge next year."

"According to the film festival rules, the jury's works cannot participate in the main competition, so I plan to send them to Venice in September, and there is plenty of time for editing."

"We'll wait until December for the official North American release, just in time to compete for the Golden Globes and Oscars."

Henry was taken aback: "You're a judge at Cannes next year?"

"What, am I not worthy?" Li Xiang chuckled, his mood improving somewhat.

"I've won so many awards, what's so strange about me serving as a Cannes judge?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised by your age." Henry quickly shook his head upon hearing this.

"Haha, that's why they say you should become famous early. To be honest, you're already starting late. Good luck!"

Looking at Li Xiang, who was teasing him, Henry felt as if the other person was radiating holy light.

He was dazzled by the fame, the awards, and the money.

Outside the restaurant, paparazzi were still waiting in their car, staring at the restaurant entrance, quietly waiting for the couple to finish their meal so they could capture them leaving.
