Therefore, popular celebrities are essential; their presence guarantees box office success.
Every year, new heartthrobs emerge, and with the right promotional resources, they enjoy a few years of popularity, allowing their companies to capitalize on the opportunity and make a fortune.
However, these celebrities rise and fall because of their popularity. When the audience is unwilling to spend money on them, the company's resource allocation will be affected, their popularity will be lost, and they will gradually fade into obscurity.
Most of them will be replaced by new idols as the young fans who idolized them back then have grown up or turned their attention to a younger generation.
Meanwhile, Mawei, as the director, has remained firmly in his position, following the established formula and easily making money.
There was a time when he dreamed of creating a great work that could move people and change things, but most people who think like that die halfway through, impoverished and destitute, and end up not even as good as he is now.
Sitting on the white garden chair, always dressed in school uniform, with his legs crossed, he took a sip of red tea in what he thought was a very wicked and arrogant manner, and then put it down.
"Alright! Get ready for the next scene!" Director Ponytail shouted, raising his hand.
"See that? My amazing performance!" Lu, who was always on stage, waved triumphantly to the young female stars over there.
"..." Director Mawei secretly shook his head. This young idol who had just risen to the third tier of popularity was still far from being successful.
At this moment, Qin Jing got into the black car and said to Black Fox and the others sitting in the driver's seat, "I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble."
"It's alright, it's alright. If the director hadn't conceded, I would have spoken to him on your behalf, Xiaojing." Dai Dai pushed up her glasses and said with a smile. Given Penglai Company's dominant position in this production, they could still fight for this much power.
"That's exactly right! Lady Qin Jing is doing this to play her role well, and she's absolutely right!" Xi Semao, who had become Qin Jing's loyal servant, cheered.
“Little brother, I think so too,” Ya Zi said with a big laugh, even though she had been so busy running around that she hadn’t paid any attention to this matter.
"Thank you everyone..." Qin Jing was slightly moved. He had only made the choice based on his own heart, but whether he could play the role of Lelouch well was still unknown.
Qin Jing looked at the black fox and asked, "Are we going back to the monster villa next?"
“No, it’s a rare holiday, let me take you home first,” Black Fox said.
"Hey! Is it okay? But I haven't even finished my work yet." Hearing that she could finally go home, Qin Jing was both happy and a little guilty.
"It's okay. Go home and get some rest. You've been busy filming lately, and I think it's time for you to take a break. After all, it's not good to be too stressed all the time."
"I'll come pick you up then. Contact me by phone if you need anything."
So the black car drove towards a residential area in a corner of Tokyo that Qin Jing was familiar with.
After finishing his sentence, Black Fox patted the black car and left.
The black car stopped in front of the familiar wooden house. Qin Jing got out, carrying a bag of gifts. Looking around, she felt that not much had changed since she left a few months ago.
The flowers that hadn't bloomed yet in the courtyard are now in full bloom.
Qin Jing stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
"Yes, I'm here." A familiar voice came from inside. At this time, Mom should be in the kitchen preparing food.
The door was opened, and Qin's mother, seeing who it was, ran out in surprise and hugged her son tightly.
"Xiao Jing!" Qin's mother touched her son's face, looked him up and down, and saw that he hadn't lost weight and didn't seem to be suffering, so she felt much relieved.
"I'm back, Mom!" Qin Jing hugged her mother and said with a smile.
"Honestly, you should have called earlier if you were coming back," Qin's mother complained.
"I've been busy with work, and today's incident was so sudden," Qin Jing replied helplessly.
"Xiao Kui! Look who's back!" Qin's mother called out to the little girl watching TV in the living room, pulling Qin Jing inside.
"..." Xiao Kui hid behind the sofa, only revealing the upper half of her face, staring at Qin Jing for a long time without saying a word.
At this moment, the color of Xiaokui's hair had gradually changed from crimson to a bright pink. The difference from the beginning was like the difference between the relatively plain pink and white cherry blossoms when they first bloom and the dazzling pink of the falling petals.
But seeing her so energetic is better than anything else.
Qin Jing stepped forward and looked at her younger sister, whose height and appearance seemed to have not changed much since she returned from the hospital.
"Xiao Kui, I brought you a gift." Qin Jing waved the bag in his hand, which was a souvenir he received from the filming location of Black Butler.
"Wow! Cute dog-chan... Hmph!" Xiao Kui took the bag and laughed happily when she saw the plush toy inside.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Qin Jing walked towards her younger sister, wanting to pat her head, but Xiao Kui slapped her hand away.
"Nini! Don't come any closer!" Xiao Kui said, looking down.
"Xiao Kui, you can forgive me now." Qin Jing said helplessly as she followed.
"Hmm..." But when she saw Qin Jing's face, she puffed out her cheeks, shook her head, and walked into the room with the doll in her arms.
Qin Jing followed Xiao Kui into the familiar room. It used to be his and Xiao Kui's nursery, and Qin's parents would sleep on the big bed next to it. As Xiao Kui grew older, it became Qin Jing and Xiao Kui's room, and Xiao Kui slept next to him.
Now that he's left, all his things remain as they were, except that a lot of Xiao Kui's things have been added to the other side.
Just as Qin Jing entered the room and looked at various things with reminiscence, Xiao Kui quietly walked to the door.
With a click, the door was locked.
"What's wrong? Stop being stubborn. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll definitely find a way to satisfy you," Qin Jing asked.
"Nini, is what you said true? Will Nini give me everything that Xiaokui wants?" Xiaokui asked, her head down.
"Of course," Qin Jing replied with a smile. She had felt guilty for suddenly leaving home, but if the child was being a little willful, she would indulge her for now.
"Then...then, Nini! Nini! Kui can't hold back anymore!" Kui shouted, raising her hands high, and suddenly leaped high into the air, pouncing on him.
Qin Jing initially thought it was a joke, but in an instant, she sensed danger.
Having endured the embrace of a whale, the pounce of a dog, the capture of a demon, and attacks from various monsters, he had developed superhuman reflexes. At the first sign of danger, Qin Jing would instinctively roll to the side.
Xiao Kui pounced on the spot where Qin Jing had been standing and bit down hard with her wide-open mouth.
Qin Jing, who was standing nearby, clearly heard the sound of teeth clashing together violently, as if it were in great pain.
Xiao Kui covered her mouth, squatted on the ground in pain, tears streaming from her eyes, and looked at her brother with a wronged expression.
Section 146, Chapter 79: My sister wants to eat me.
"Xiao Kui? What are you trying to do?" Qin Jing asked in surprise. If he hadn't dodged quickly, judging from the sound just now, he might have had a big bite mark on his neck.
"Nini smells so sweet and delicious, let me take a bite, just one bite! Okay, Nini?" Xiao Kui said coquettishly, a glint of red light flashing in her eyes.
Qin Jing finally noticed the changes in her younger sister. Xiao Kui's little tiger teeth had grown very long, and her long hair had turned a bright red, making her look like a vampire from a novel.
He remembered what Su Jiu had jokingly said to him before: 'Your flesh is very tempting to man-eating monsters, they might just suck you dry.'
Could it be that returning to my room now is actually a major crisis?
"Xiao Kui! Didn't you even have a tantrum before?"
"Nini! You ran away without saying a word back then, of course Xiao Kui was very angry, but if you let me take a bite, I'll forgive you!" Xiao Kui opened her mouth wide, jumped high, and pounced on her.
"Your eyes are filled with lust, like you want to eat meat! I refuse!" Seeing that she was about to be caught, Qin Jing made a quick decision and rolled on the spot.
Xiao Kui missed again.
"Nini! Don't dodge! You stingy little thing! It's all because you're too sweet, Nini!" Xiao Kui said, puffing out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, and pounced on her again.
"This isn't about being stingy or not, okay!" Qin Jing rolled away again to dodge Xiao Kui's attack.
"Nini! If you keep doing this, then I'm going to transform into my second form!" Xiao Kui said, puffing out her cheeks.
"Are you from an alien race of warriors? And Xiao Kui, you're trying so hard to eat your brother's blood, it makes him very sad," Qin Jing complained.
"I'll just take a bite, I'm not really going to eat you, what's the big deal!" Xiao Kui pounced on her.
"But it looks like you're trying to drain me dry!" Qin Jing quickly dodged away.
"Take a bite or two, and suck a pound or two of blood, it's okay to fill your cute little sister's stomach, right?" Xiao Kui said cutely, her eyes glowing red.
"But Xiao Kui, you've never been full from eating desserts, have you?" Even though it was cute, Qin Jing resolutely refused.
"Hehe!" Xiao Kui playfully stuck out her little tongue.
"As expected..." Qin Jing slowly backed away, but Xiao Kui cleverly blocked the doorway, making it impossible for him to get around.
"Nini, if you do this, don't blame Xiao Kui for being ruthless!" Xiao Kui called out sweetly. Her long hair turned silver-white, her pupils turned crimson, and her demonic aura multiplied and overflowed. Even her height seemed to have increased, making her look more and more like a legendary vampire.
"Hahaha! I'm bursting with energy! This time I'm definitely going to catch Nini!" Silver-haired Aoi laughed loudly, hands on her hips, just like a villain in a tokusatsu movie.
"Wait! Calm down! Calm down!" Qin Jing felt really bad this time. Xiao Kui was giving him a kind of intimidating power that was almost like Mo Mo's. He backed away and said repeatedly.
At this moment, Qin's mother pushed open the door and looked at the two people inside, complaining, "Honestly, you're all grown up now, stop rolling around on the floor like when you were little. Alright! Your father is back, the food is ready, come out quickly."
"Yes..." After being told off by her mother, Xiao Kui seemed to deflate and her hair turned back to its usual pink color, and she calmed down.
"Have you calmed down?" Qin Jing asked, sensing that Xiao Kui no longer exuded that dangerous aura.
"Um... I'm sorry, Nini," Pink-haired Aoi replied softly. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for so long, and Nini was so alluring, that she couldn't quite control herself.
"Let's go out then," Qin Jing said with a smile, extending her hand to her younger sister.
"Mmm!" Xiao Kui hugged Qin Jing's hand and agreed. As she walked out the door, she whispered, "I'll definitely find a chance to take a bite next time."
"Huh?" Qin Jing looked at Xiao Kui.
"Hehehe." Xiao Kui gave Qin Jing a bright and cute smile.
Ever since he got the fox tail, his hearing has become more and more sensitive, but... it must have been a hallucination.
Qin Jing, holding Xiao Kui's hand, walked outside with a smile.
When I got to the living room, I saw that familiar man.
"Dad, welcome back," Qin Jing said with a smile as she walked out.
Upon hearing the sound, the man paused for a moment, then turned around abruptly.
With a 'thud,' the briefcase fell to the ground. Qin's father slapped it down, excitedly picked up his son, and shouted, "Xiaojing! You're back! Dad missed you so much!"
"Me too!" Qin Jing hugged her father's strong arms, feeling a warmth she really missed.
"Dad, I'm here! I'm here!" Xiao Kui cried, tugging at her father's clothes.
"Okay, okay!" Father Qin squatted down, picked up one child in each arm, and started running around the hall.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Kui laughed happily.
"Alright, alright, stop playing! Dinner's ready." Qin's mother brought the dishes to the table and looked at the three men, father and sons, who were still playing around, with a smile that was a little exasperated.
"Oh dear, Xiaojing has grown quite a bit. It seems that in a few years, Daddy won't be able to carry both of you anymore." Father Qin put the children down.
"Is there any problem at the school over there?" Qin's father asked with concern.
"Yes, no problem. I have a fulfilling life with my roommates every day," Qin Jing said with a smile, such as participating in competitions and researching monster recipes.
"Teacher Su Jiu has taught you very well, that's really great," Qin's father said, relieved.
"No... um?... um." Qin Jing frowned. To teach? Oh well, to put her family at ease, Qin Jing obediently agreed.
"Yes..." Qin Jing thought to herself, 'It's just that the role I'm playing is a bit strange; I really can't bring myself to say it.'
"Oh, it's just a role in a TV series, we've heard about it," said Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
"Huh? Where did you see that?" Qin Jing asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it was Teacher Su Jiu who told us. She calls us every now and then," Qin's mother explained with a smile.
"Haha, I'll be more careful next time," Qin Jing said with a dry laugh.
“I know too, Nini is in the TV series Legal High,” Xiao Kui chimed in.
"Ah... um." Qin Jing covered her face awkwardly, having managed to dodge this topic.
"Don't be shy! No matter what, Dad will always be on your side, Xiaojing," Qin's father said.
“Me too, Mom! Xiao Kui too, right?” Qin’s mother chimed in, encouraging her.
"Yes! Of course... It would be even better if Nini let me take a bite!" Xiao Kui nodded and whispered.
"I don't need this kind of unnecessary sympathy! Besides, I'm doing my best in playing other roles," Qin Jing said in frustration.
"Oh! For example?" Qin's parents asked curiously.
"Uh... dark..."
"black……?"
"...Lelouch, the Black Prince, I played the childhood version of that character." Qin Jing originally wanted to say Black Butler, but she felt that it wasn't a role she could proudly talk about with her family, so she changed her words.
In the end, after working so hard on three dramas, he only has one role that he can talk about with his parents and family. He feels that if he doesn't play this role well, he will have no face to face his elders back home.
Not long after dinner, Qin Jing made a phone call.
