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

After hanging up the call with the former principal, Li Xiang didn't take the subtle reminder in his words to heart, and instead chuckled softly.

Given his current influence overseas, things should have progressed smoothly as they should.

Let others guess what they want; no one can produce concrete evidence to definitively refute him anyway.

If asked, the reason is quite simple: his fame is so great that it naturally attracts the attention of the media and fans.

For the next half day, the phone kept ringing. Uncle Wang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kai all called to ask if he was alright.

The main reason was that his counterattack was too swift and fierce. From the outbreak of the storm to the settling of the matter, only one or two hours had passed.

Many people hadn't even had time to figure out how to stand up and cheer him on before the battle was already over...

The phone rang again.

"You little brat, what are you doing getting into trouble with someone again? You really are a troublemaker."

Huang Lei didn't believe that such a big commotion had happened out of thin air, so he started by saying this.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang simply laughed it off, neither confirming nor denying it; the two of them did share this tacit understanding.

Huang Lei didn't call to lecture Li Xiang; he knew perfectly well how cunning Li Xiang was.

Even before filming "Under the Hawthorn Tree," Li Xiang had already begun planning, and many of the techniques were taught to him personally by his teacher.

Thinking about Little Yellow Duck's current situation, he felt that there was no need to worry about Li Xiang at all, and that he was making this call for other reasons.

"You're having so much fun abroad that you've forgotten all about home. Don't forget your business just because you've got a boyfriend."

"Serious business? What serious business could I possibly have?" Li Xiang was momentarily stunned.

Upon hearing his reaction, Huang Lei knew he had completely forgotten and quickly said, "Wuzhen Theatre Festival."

"Ah!" Only after being reminded like this did Li Xiang suddenly remember.

He once boasted that he would invite a bunch of Hollywood people to come and make an appearance, even if it was just to show his support.

"Haha, I really forgot about that."

"I knew you'd forgotten, that's why I called to remind you. You've been making such a big fuss about your scandals, you probably don't even remember."

The most damaging criticism comes from acquaintances, especially when that person is your teacher.

This is also why Li Xiang didn't dare to call his parents. He knew them all too well; they were definitely the type who loved to watch the drama unfold.

So he quickly changed the subject: "That's easy, I'm in New York right now, I'll make a call in a bit. But is the venue all set up?"

"The venue is fine, it will be completed in winter. Many scenes are still being modified according to your requirements. As for the sense of relaxation, I'm not some old-fashioned person who doesn't know any better."

"When exactly will it be? We still need a precise time."

"How about June 1st? There aren't any major awards, and it directly avoids the Cannes Film Festival's schedule."

"Sure, it's Children's Day! I think this date is great. If the first one goes well, we can use this date for the second one too."

The master and apprentice chatted for a few more minutes, and just as they were about to hang up, Huang Lei suddenly called out to Li Xiang.

"By the way, I heard that Huayi is putting a lot of effort into public relations for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards."

Li Xiang was slightly taken aback: "Oh? How could word get out about this? Your secrecy isn't very good."

"You talk too much, kid... I heard Huayi wants to snatch all four major awards, have you heard about that?"

"No," Li Xiang answered readily; he had indeed never heard of this matter.

"Then why don't you take the initiative to ask around?"

Li Xiang scoffed upon hearing this: "If 'Saint's Lament' can't even win an award, then there's no point in holding the Hundred Flowers Awards."

This is not Li Xiang bragging.

Even if today's incident hadn't happened, there would still be some issues to discuss, given that money can be a powerful motivator.

But now, the Lu family father and son are lying there covered in blood for people to admire, and he asks, who dares to do that?

With his roles in Pietà and Blind Massage, he has already won more than a dozen international Best Actor awards.

If even something of this caliber can't win a small Hundred Flowers Award, then he can only send a wreath instead.

Suppressing his desire to watch the spectacle, he stopped thinking about the awards and put his phone away.

The next two days finally calmed down.

The reporters who were originally surrounding VOGUE were completely drawn to the shocking news of Kristen Stewart's affair with the director.

If Li Xiang and Henry are considered the new darlings of the internet, then the Twilight couple are the true white moonlight in the hearts of American audiences.

Now that his "white moonlight" has collapsed in an unbelievable way, the media no longer cares about Li Xiang, who has always stayed put and never gone anywhere.

Thanks to this major scandal, Li Xiang was relieved of some of the pressure, and he even took advantage of the break to head to the filming location...

But looking at Henry Cavill, who was walking towards her with a smile not far away, and feeling the intense gazes that suddenly focused on her from all directions.

Li Xiang secretly felt that he had been too happy too soon.

Before he could speak, Henry stepped forward first: "I haven't had much to do lately, so I was thinking of coming over as soon as possible to cooperate with all the filming procedures."

Oh......

Although the others didn't utter a sound of surprise, Li Xiang felt as if he had heard it.

Even though he had seen and experienced this in his previous life, Li Xiang was still somewhat at a loss when faced with this situation.

Fortunately, Anna still loved him, and the fashion world's devilish woman gave a soft hum in a nasal tone.

This sound interrupted Henry's spellcasting, and he realized that Anna was also there. He quickly went up to greet her.

"Hello, Ms. Anna, I am actor Henry Cavill. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to film this movie."

Just when everyone thought that Henry Cavill was about to get a cold shoulder.

Anna, however, managed a satisfied smile from her face, which rarely showed any emotion.

"It's great, I'm getting more and more excited for this episode's filming."

"You know, Li went to great lengths to sponsor your clothing this time..."

What the hell? Li Xiang was stunned upon hearing this.

He truly never expected that this old woman would betray him in front of so many people.

Anna naturally noticed Li Xiang's piercing gaze, but she didn't care at all and instead turned to look at him.

"What? Didn't you call Delphia yourself?"

"Yes, but..."

"But what? Hurry up and let's go, I need a cooler place."

As if receiving some kind of signal, Henry first picked up the suitcase that Li Xiang had placed at his feet.

Then he turned to Anna and said, "I arrived early, so I'll lead the way."

After saying that, he led the group back in the direction they came from, leaving Li Xiang standing there, enduring the stares of everyone who kept looking back as they walked away.

"Brother," Xiao Jiang's voice rang in my ears, "I'm a little scared for you..."

"What are you afraid of? Hurry up and follow me!"
