Wu Minlong had a breakthrough.
His film was shot as a series of interconnected productions, and the first one released to cinemas, serving as the beginning of a grand narrative, was an instant hit!
"Another Epic Masterpiece Starring Lin Muxi, Shatters Box Office Records on Global Premiere!"
"Globally Acclaimed! An Epic of Romantic Stargazing from the East!"
Lin Muxi was already a global superstar. This film was directed and acted by Wu Minlong himself, and he boldly cast many new actors. Therefore, everyone was initially concerned about the film's performance, but once you entered the cinema, all those worries would vanish without a trace.
The audience was completely immersed in the cinematic world.
A desolate and strange futuristic city.
Two extreme worlds, one above ground and one below.
A human villain girl, and a salvation team facing the end of the world. When special effects merged with real-life scenes, it delivered an immersive experience never before seen. Everyone was captivated by the characters and shocked by the magnificent yet tragic world depicted in the film.
[Holy crap, Wu Minlong has such huge ambitions?]
[When he said he wanted to create our sci-fi epic, I thought he was bragging, but he actually built a new worldview! And it has our unique Eastern romanticism,呜呜呜, I truly admire him!]
[Technology combined with martial arts is divine, Chinese martial arts are truly amazing!]
Overseas audiences were reminded of the past, when they were once awestruck by Eastern martial arts—
[Oh my god! What was that? Xiao Ci's new movie is absolutely incredible, please, if you have time this weekend, you must go see it.]
[I used to think only Hollywood could produce top-tier works globally, but I was wrong.]
[They truly have ambition, and they have the skill. But good works are immortal, I can completely see the sincerity in this work, not just barren heroism, but a torn world hidden deep within… I am truly deeply moved by this world.]
[In the moment of watching the movie, I completely believed that this world truly existed!]
[It moved me greatly, I will watch it a second time!]
Furthermore, various fan creations related to the film immediately dominated the charts, with fan art and secondary creations flooding major global websites, instantly sweeping across the globe.
As the most popular box-office draw for this film, Lin Muxi naturally reaped the greatest benefits.
Her new drama styling was so cool it nearly made fans faint.
[Sob sob sob! I’m about to faint, help, what kind of ultimate strong ‘a’ is Xiao Ci! I just want to snatch Xiao Ci from Ling Qianhe, I want to carry her away, sob sob sob!]
Fans universally expressed that Ling Qianhe was too manipulative, tying himself to Xiao Ci while she was young and naive.
This guy was afraid of others snatching her away, wasn't he?
However, as Ling Qianhe looked at these comments from fans, and the screen full of people wanting to snatch Xiao Ci from him, a smile flickered across his lips!
[Mine.]
He publicly provoked fans on Weibo and, by the way, announced the early release of "Deadly Woman," meaning they would be competing against themselves.
With Lin Muxi having two films released simultaneously, fans felt like they were celebrating, but they were also worried about the potential conflict between the two films.
[呜呜呜, will the art film have poor box office performance?]
Fans had even prepared to book entire theaters to support Lin Muxi if the box office was indeed poor.
Xiao Ci was their treasure in their hearts, this kind of presence had to be arranged. But fans soon discovered that their concerns were completely unfounded.
Because after the release of the film starring Ling Qianhe and Lin Muxi, it also broke the premiere record for an art film.
Not only that, but the first wave of fans left the cinema in tears.
[呜呜呜呜呜, I used up both my packs of tissues, but this movie is truly too heartbreaking, 呜呜呜, how could it be so tragic, my tears just won't stop flowing.]
[I didn't expect Xiao Ci and Qianhe to portray such emotions. Qianhe playing the silly boy is too heartbreaking. You say he doesn't understand love, but he truly risked his life for her.]
[He just doesn't understand, doesn't understand the world, doesn't know how to protect her. He's like a child, he just wants to desperately hold onto her, but he never thought that his tight grip would only push her into the abyss.]
[Why couldn't they have been given a ray of light? Meng Dongqing didn't have feelings for the silly boy either… 呜呜呜, it's so addictive to watch, both addictive and heartbreaking. In several scenes, I cried uncontrollably, and my friend held me tightly, afraid I would cry myself unconscious!]
Such conversations were everywhere.
Even onlookers who were initially uninterested in the theme couldn't help but ask.
"Is this real?"
"Is it really that heartbreaking?"
Fans, crying uncontrollably, still recommended it.
[Although it's very heartbreaking, it's also very realistic, it's the kind of movie that truly touches you after watching it. And Xiao Ci's acting is simply amazing, she completely portrayed the character's exhaustion. She's like an ordinary person working hard to make a living, but there's something resilient about her.]
[You can definitely see the shadow of every ordinary person fighting against destiny in her. Really, she acted incredibly well this time, it's a breakthrough, acting beyond your imagination.]
[Even though this year isn't over yet, if Xiao Ci isn't awarded Best Actress this year, I will be genuinely angry! This kind of acting deserves an award!]
This comment was upvoted by many, indicating that everyone felt the same way. Curious onlookers, seeing so many people saying this, couldn't resist buying a ticket and sat in the cinema for two hours.
They emerged with eyes swollen like walnuts.
After pondering for a long time, still unable to extricate themselves from the tragic plot of the movie, they simply went out and bought two more tickets, watching Wu Minlong's satisfying sci-fi film twice before finally calming down.
That day, many people walking on the streets had swollen eyes!
It was a lingering effect from watching Lin Muxi's movie!
Fans were heartbroken—and they made demands.
[Live stream!]
[Xiao Ci and Qianhe, live stream together for fan service!]
[Save us, if you don't come out and feed us sweetness soon, we'll truly be tortured to death. Xiao Ci, can you bear to watch us be tortured to death, 呜呜呜, Xiao Ci, please, hurry and do fan service!]
The fans' strong demands were almost deafening.
Even the agent's inbox was flooded with desperate messages, so when Lin Muxi received her agent's call, she glanced at Ling Qianhe opposite her, feeling a little guilty.
"Liv… live stream. I'm currently…"
The agent directly cut off her path of refusal.
"Don't make excuses. I know you're with Ling Qianhe right now. Your fans are practically crying. You usually star in empowering female lead dramas, but this movie is so heartbreaking, with almost everyone having a tragic ending. You and Qianhe have made your fans cry like dogs in the cinema. Wouldn't it be good to compensate your fans properly? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
The agent directly retorted, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
When Lin Muxi heard her agent ask this, she felt even more guilty.
Perhaps…
Should she really live stream?
As she was still thinking about how to answer her agent, a fair and slender hand took her phone, and in a natural tone, said.
"Immediately."
"Put out an announcement, we'll be doing a dual live stream soon."
So confident, it was naturally Ling Qianhe! After hanging up the phone with her agent Ye Tongtong, Lin Muxi looked up at Ling Qianhe with wide eyes. Ling Qianhe gently flicked her forehead, his voice filled with laughter.
"Aren't you afraid the fans will be unhappy?"
Lin Muxi pouted.
"Fans can be coaxed."
Ling Qianhe looked at her slightly flushed lips as she mumbled to herself, his smile deepening. His fingertips slowly touched her rosy lips, and her heart fluttered. She heard him say.
"Why are you so worried?"
"Don't worry, I know it's a live stream, I won't do anything to you."
He said this with certainty.
Lin Muxi still looked hesitant. After much thought, she finally made up her mind.
"Alright then."
"Don't… do anything excessive!"
…
Lin Muxi thought Ling Qianhe wouldn't be too bold during the live stream. The reality proved she had completely underestimated Ling Qianhe's audacity!
Because her agent had announced it beforehand, as soon as Lin Muxi started the broadcast, she was immediately met with a million viewers, and the number of viewers continued to climb, with people constantly entering the stream.
Seeing the two extremely beautiful faces in the broadcast, the first reaction was, "How amazing!" These two are truly amazing, smiling so harmoniously.
But thinking of their previous vows to snatch Xiao Ci from Qianhe, they immediately flooded the comments.
[呜呜呜, my darling husband Xiao Ci!]
[Let go of that Xiao Ci!]
Lin Muxi was so engrossed in reading the comments that she even read this one aloud, chuckling foolishly. Ling Qianhe, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow with dashing charisma, exuding a hint of dominance, and then directly reached out and pulled Lin Muxi’s slender waist into his embrace!
He showed none of the silliness from the movie; instead, he appeared exceptionally intelligent and wise.
In reality, Ling Qianhe's acting skills were indeed superb, embodying every role perfectly.
But he was also an incredibly charismatic man, which formed his unique aura, the reason fans constantly lamented that Ling Qianhe was irreplaceable.
In this world, no one could possibly compare to Ling Qianhe.
Ling Qianhe's fingertips hooked around her waist, then he leaned in close to her, and the fans watching the live stream were stunned!
[This is so intense?]
[Kissing and hugging right from the start?]
[Hiss hiss, is this something I can watch for free? I’m going to go crazy! Really, really, this is too exciting, I feel my blood boiling, 呜呜呜!]
[Kiss her quickly, Qianhe, it’s time to prove you’re a real man!]
Lin Muxi's eyes widened. She struggled to think of what to do, remembering it was a live stream. Ling Qianhe curved his lips, turned to the screen, and spoke in the most elegant tone, uttering the most possessive and fierce words.
"Xiao Ci is mine."
"You can try to snatch her, but it's useless."
Lin Muxi's cheeks instantly turned red. She coughed and then rubbed her nose, her voice very soft.
"The fans are just joking…"
Ling Qianhe shook his head, a faint, deep look flashing in his eyes.
"Joking is not allowed either. No one can snatch Xiao Ci from me."
The fans were shocked.
Is Qianhe this jealous?
He's so domineering, so possessive, so jealous!
This is his real personality! Lin Muxi looked at him helplessly.
"You stream properly."
Then she looked at the camera.
"Hmm, I understand my fans' intentions. Don't mind him! He's just gone crazy—I'll do my best to bring you better works! Don't be angry, you are all my darlings!"
The fans cheered!
"Call her wife!"
"Call her wife! Kiss my wife Xiao Ci!"
Ling Qianhe watched the comments next to her, his aura visibly darkening. His exceptionally handsome and stern face showed profound displeasure, while Lin Muxi cheerfully called out "wife" twice.
"You are all my wives! Is that enough?"
The fans watched Ling Qianhe's face turn almost as black as the bottom of a pot, and they wildly typed "hahaha" in the comments, finding it incredibly amusing.
[I knew who had the higher status between Qianhe and Xiao Ci hahaha, Qianhe just made threats, and now he can only sulk with us hahaha, he's so pitiful!]
[Xiao Ci is at the top of the food chain hahaha, but even though Qianhe is jealous, the way he looks at Xiao Ci is truly so doting, so doting—how can he be so doting!]
[It's that angry, yet helpless look.]
[Is this still the top star Ling Qianhe? Isn't he a king who looks down on the world? Why does his gaze at Xiao Ci make me think of… a big puppy?]
[Qianhe's possessiveness is a known fact… after all, he's the kind of person who excels in everything hahaha…]
[But have you noticed? There are red marks on Xiao Ci's neck. I wonder if it's a mosquito bite, or a hickey…]
Lin Muxi immediately saw this comment. She instinctively touched her neck, and after doing so, she felt it was inappropriate, smiled, and coughed forcefully.
"It's cold, there are mosquitoes…"
"It's not a hickey! Don't guess wildly!"
Ling Qianhe glanced at her, then leaned closer to her and suddenly covered the camera with his hand—then the audience heard loud splashing sounds from the other side of the camera, and the sounds of something intensely entwined.
He truly didn't consider them outsiders at all.
Then, when he released his hand.
The hickey on her neck was vivid and alluring.
Well, the fans instantly understood.
Regardless of whether the marks earlier were hickeys or not.
The current red marks were definitely hickeys!
Qianhe, you know how to tease a man!
