Xu Chun lay on the seat of the van, her face expressionless, and slowly pulled the coat covering her face.
He felt as if four words were etched onto his forehead. "Worse than a beast."
"Brother Xu, why are you covering your head? Aren't you hot?" Xiao Qi opened the lid of the thermos and then made him some tea.
Xu Chun pulled her coat down slightly, revealing only a pair of light-colored eyes; her beautiful amber pupils reflected a beautiful light in the sunlight.
I have a question for you.
Xiao Qi asked without looking up, "What is it?"
Xu Chun carefully chose her words and asked, "Do you know how old Xie Jianyuan is?"
"Your age on your profile should be 22 or 23, what's wrong?"
Xu Chun's lips trembled as if he had nothing but death. He didn't just want to eat the grass near his own nest; he also wanted to eat the grass that was young and tender.
Seeing that his expression was off, Xiao Qi cautiously added, "Of course, this might only be public knowledge."
"Public?" Xu Chun seized on this key word, staring at her with wide eyes, her voice involuntarily rising slightly. "You mean there are also private ones?"
Xiao Qi was taken aback by his strong reaction and stammered, "Some celebrities do that..."
Xu Chun was very uneasy. "So do you think he overstated or understated his claim?"
Xiao Qi swallowed nervously, feeling, for some reason, that the answer she was about to give was extremely important to Xu Chun.
"... Celebrities usually report their younger age, right?" This implies that Xie Jianyuan's actual age is older. Xiao Qi didn't understand why Xu Chun suddenly asked about this, and added, "Of course, this is just my guess. Not all celebrities lie about their age. Brother Chun, you didn't lie, did you?"
Before Xu Chun could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Xiao Qi say that, and her mood plummeted once again.
Xiao Qi looked on helplessly as Xu Chun's expression didn't improve despite her attempts to comfort her; in fact, it worsened.
However, Xu Chun didn't dwell on her emotions for too long. She knew that thinking too much was pointless and that it was better to let things take their course. The most important thing now was the release of the movie "Twin Cities".
Since filming began, "Twin Cities" has been plagued by problems. First, actor Lu Xian was embroiled in a scandal, forcing the filming to be suspended. Then, scheduling issues caused the film to be delayed again and again until recently when a release date was finally set for the end of the year.
To be honest, Xu Chun was a little apprehensive about the reaction after the film's release, even though he already knew that "Twin Cities" had received excellent reviews and won numerous awards in his previous life.
However, that was only before his rebirth. In this second life, many of his life trajectories deviated, creating a butterfly effect. So, it's unknown whether it will have a good or bad impact on the show.
Although Xu Chun was very confident at first, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous and uneasy when the time came.
On the day of the official release, Xu Chun was already waiting at the movie theater early. He was wearing large-framed sunglasses, a dark sweater, and black pants. He looked just like an ordinary young college student.
After buying the ticket, he first took a picture of it with his phone, then uploaded it to his Weibo with the caption #Will I bump into anyone?#
This is a common technique used by celebrities to promote their movies. Since the release date was announced, the cast and crew have been racking their brains to promote the film, asking familiar celebrities to retweet it on Weibo.
Xu Chun needs no introduction. He has been in the industry for a long time, having entered the circle at a very young age. In addition, he is usually amiable, so he has many good relationships with people in the industry. However, these "good" relationships are only at the level of nodding acquaintances. Even so, many celebrities will take the initiative to promote him without waiting for him to say hello.
What truly surprised Xu Chun was Xie Jianyuan's network of connections. He rarely saw Xie Jianyuan getting along well with anyone, but he never expected that Xie Jianyuan knew so many people.
From celebrities to company executives, everyone was forwarding his promotional Weibo. Xu Chun noticed that Wen Lin had also forwarded Xie Jianyuan's Weibo.
Wen Lin: I'm really looking forward to Brother Yuan's performance after watching the trailer! Xie Jianyuan: See you at the cinema on Friday!
Xu Chun ignored the strange feeling in her heart, glanced at it quickly, and then looked away.
"Brother Chun."
Just as the movie was about to start, a tall, thin figure appeared in the field of vision.
Xie Jianyuan wore a loose shirt and trousers, with a down jacket on top, but he didn't look bulky at all. Instead, it made his legs look longer, and he appeared tall and slender.
He handed the hot drink to Xu Chun, his breath turning into mist as he spoke.
"Drink up, let's go in when it's less crowded."
Xu Chun took the hot drink and warmed her hands, feeling much warmer all over. She nodded and thanked him again.
In fact, when a movie is released, almost all the stars in it will come to the cinema to watch it, even if they have already seen the movie at the premiere. They still come to the cinema to experience the atmosphere.
After all, you can truly feel the audience's opinions and evaluations of the film here, so Xu Chun always goes to the cinema to watch her own movies again after they are released. Unexpectedly, Xie Jianyuan also has this habit.
So they simply came together. Now, when Xu Chun is with Xie Jianyuan, she no longer thinks about those miscellaneous things and feels much more relaxed after getting rid of her guilt.
When Xu Chun entered the movie theater, she found herself in an awkward situation: almost everyone around her was a couple, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Xu Chun shifted slightly, feeling a little awkward. The movie hadn't started yet, and she couldn't just stare at a dark screen, so she tried to start a conversation. "Do you know which movies are showing at the same time as 'Twin Cities'?"
Xie Jianyuan smiled slightly and mentioned several movie titles. When Xu Chun heard one of them, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
In his previous life, he remembered that this movie wasn't released at this time, and it wasn't just a few months earlier. If he remembered correctly, this movie should have starred Xu Huaizhou.
