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

As we slowly finished our desserts, our Michelin-starred dinner was drawing to a close.

Henry gestured for the waiter to come and settle the bill, then turned to look at Li Xiang with anticipation in his eyes.

"Li, I'm free these few days, how about I show you around Hollywood?"

"It's not that I don't want to rest, it's just that my schedule is too tight."

"I have to leave for New York at five o'clock tomorrow. The VOGUE photoshoot has already been postponed for several days. If I don't go soon, Anna will kill me."

Henry's pupils dilated slightly upon hearing this. If he wasn't mistaken, and considering the current month, Li Xiang was sure to be featured in the most important September issue.

After a brief moment of shock, he nodded understandingly and didn't insist further: "That's a real shame."

"Don't worry, I have a movie coming out at the end of the year, so I'll be staying in the US for most of the second half of the year. If you come to New York, we can meet up."

"I happen to have plans to visit New York soon, and I'll definitely come to see you then. However, I still need to do my part as a host."

"Isn't this meal a perfect example? Just looking at the restaurant's setup and the ingredients, it's definitely not cheap."

Henry, who was already familiar with Li Xiang's way of speaking, didn't mind: "I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."

"Brother, I meant leaving at five in the morning."

Before Li Xiang could finish speaking, Henry interrupted him: "I know, I'm fine with five in the morning too."

Just as the two were about to leave, the restaurant's head chef came over and asked if they could take a photo together.

"Ethan, I heard about your praise of the dishes. I'm very honored to receive your feedback. Here are two VIP passes for you two. You won't need to make a reservation in advance next time you dine here."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang didn't stand on ceremony at all and directly reached out to take it.

After praising the chef several more times, the two walked out of the restaurant side by side.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi who had been waiting outside for hours had already finished several hamburgers.

Upon seeing the two of them, they instantly perked up, snapping photos incessantly.

As soon as the two got into the car, the paparazzi started their car and followed.

But before long, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. The route he was taking was clearly leading back to the hotel, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

But they quickly became dejected, and some even began to sigh softly, while the paparazzi in charge of driving remained remarkably calm.

"What's the rush? I've already bypassed the photo agency and finalized the deal with the National Enquirer. Three hundred thousand... after tax."

"Come with me now, and we'll exchange money for goods."

Li Xiang had no idea that in just a few hours, several paparazzi had made a fortune because of him.

Because he had to get up early for his schedule the next day, Li Xiang quickly tidied up after returning to the hotel and went to bed early.

Meanwhile, in the editorial office of the National Enquirer, the lights were on all night, and everyone was working feverishly.

The printing department worked through the night, racing against time to re-layout and reprint the news, striving to ensure that the story reached every newsstand across the United States.

As for the internet, it's nowhere near as profitable as selling newspapers. Exclusive pricing and brand revenue are clearly far more lucrative.

The next morning, around 5 a.m., the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Henry drove her to the airport on time, where Li said goodbye and boarded the plane smoothly.

As the plane took off, the news of him and the new Superman swept across the United States.

"We can't get through, we can't get through to any of the three of them!"

Zhao Fang was sweating profusely with anxiety, but no matter how many times she dialed the phone, she could only hear the message that the call could not be connected.

This was thanks to the overseas public opinion team that Huace specially built for Li Xiang.

This explosive news, which was rapidly gaining traction in the United States, was compiled into information and delivered to her almost simultaneously.

Although Li Qing was also a little anxious, he remained relatively calm.

She knew Li Xiang the earliest and had a lot of contact with him, so she didn't believe those unfounded rumors.

More importantly, currently only Huace in China is able to obtain such rapid, first-hand overseas information.

"Mr. Zhao, please calm down. Give us some time, and we will definitely be able to handle this matter properly."

Through her previous actions, she had already discovered the preferential treatment given to Li Xiang by the relevant departments.

At least for big scandals like this, where there's no real evidence and people are just making wild guesses based on a few photos, the relevant departments will definitely help suppress them.

After all, what Li Xiang was doing in the United States was no secret to some high-ranking officials; it was all about getting into the Olympics.

"Furthermore, based on the schedule, Li Xiang should have taken a flight to New York this morning to shoot the September issue cover of VOGUE."

"At this time, he must be on a plane, so his phone is naturally unreachable. This news looks scary, but there's actually no solid evidence at all."

But Zhao Fang was far from calm at this moment; her anxiety was no longer just about the company's stock price.

It's more like the sense of urgency they feel when they see their carefully cultivated sun covered in something dirty; after all, they are Chinese.

But she couldn't say these things to Li Qing, so she could only worry while watching the various messages sent by the overseas team.

At this moment, the United States was also thrown into turmoil by this morning news.

Who is Henry Cavill?

Not many people know about it; at least compared to the renowned Li Xiang, the new Superman, who has yet to become a sensation, is as insignificant as a grain of rice.

It is precisely this extreme disparity in their fame that amplifies the explosive power of this news.

If she were to appear in the same frame as Leonardo DiCaprio, well! the buzz would probably be even more outrageous.

Some more serious media outlets have maintained their rationality, recognizing the excessive influence Li Xiang has gained.

Moreover, the published photos didn't provide any concrete evidence; at best, it was just a dinner.

The fact that he personally picked them up and helped them open the car door, in the simplest sense, can only mean that the two have a good personal relationship.

Moreover, Li Xiang did not own any property in Hollywood, so it makes perfect sense for him to drive around to pick him up.

However, these rational comments could not stop the fervor of the general public, mainly because the two were simply too good-looking.

It's important to understand that the same face can have vastly different appeal to audiences before and after becoming famous.

Before he became famous, everyone knew that Henry Cavill was handsome, but he didn't achieve any great success because of his good looks.

Only after Superman is released and becomes a global phenomenon will this face be listed among the world's most beautiful faces; that's the power of celebrity aura.

But now, I'm experiencing this treatment more than a year earlier than expected.

The impact of two equally stunningly handsome faces standing side by side in the same frame is far more than the sum of its parts.

This has led to the emergence of a pink organization dedicated to Li Xiang and Henry on the internet within just two hours.

In short, Li Xiang's scandal has turned this ordinary day into an extraordinary entertainment extravaganza.

The scandal not only swept through the entire American entertainment industry, but also spread to countries around the world via the internet.
