Chapter 1571 His Profession
After she came out, she called Han Xu. “Check if there’s anything unjust going on in the circle. The kind that we can help with.”
Han Xu did not understand what she was going to do. “Miss Fu, what are we doing?”
“I told you to investigate. Let me know when you find anything.”
The reason why Fu Yujia bought Sheng Tang Entertainment was that she had ulterior motives. She wanted to gain the favor of the Lu family and attack Su Bei.
In that case, she had to do as Old Master Lu and the others liked.
This request confused Han Xu, but since Fu Yujia had already said so, he had no choice but to do as she said.
…
Xu Zhiqin’s movie, Wind and Rain, was released soon after filming was completed.
At the same time, Su Bei’s Split was released as well.
And so was Xiao Ming’s Twin Cities.
Xu Zhiqin’s performance was even better than when she was on stage. As expected, she received a lot of good reviews.
As for Su Bei, every one of her works would bring new surprises to her fans. There was no need to elaborate.
Xiao Ming’s Twin Cities triggered heated discussions.
The matter of him being sued by countless victims of Nirvana Entertainment was still vivid in everyone’s minds.
This time, his movie was about a hero who swore to protect his country after it was invaded decades ago. He turned into an undercover agent and joined enemy forces. Because of the biased discussions and opinions of the outside world, he was burdened with a long period of infamy and guilt.
From then on, this hero lived in curses for the rest of his life. No matter how he defended himself, no one believed him.
The movie used a very delicate method to show the burdens he had been carrying all his life. It explored a hero’s life that no one knew or understood.
In the final scene, what the hero had done was finally made known to everyone. He finally received everyone’s praise and respect.
Xiao Ming had always been good at portraying human nature. He was also used to showing his views in movies.
Due to the heated discussions and scandals about him some time ago, this movie was treated as his profession. Film fans also thought that this was a way for him to resist the slander from the outside world.
After the movie was released, it naturally caused a huge reaction.
Fans praised it as, ‘The confession of a n.o.ble director who was slandered by the outside world.’
There were also fans who left comments like: [People like Su Lu of Nirvana Entertainment who only exist for popularity and benefits are not worthy of being compared to Director Xiao. Director Xiao’s talent and artistic value have never been crushed by such secular people. Time and history will give Director Xiao justice.]
Because of this, many people specially criticized Xu Zhiqin’s Wind and Rain because Xu Zhiqin was from Nirvana Entertainment.
“These people are really too much. They brag about not partic.i.p.ating in fanaticism but wors.h.i.+p Xiao Ming like a G.o.d. Even so, they still use typical fan methods to give you bad reviews.” Xiao Ling watched helplessly as the movie’s ratings fell. She was especially angry.
Xu Zhiqin shook her head and said, “We can’t control these people, but I’ve always agreed with President Su. There’s always justice. Xiao Ming will be punished sooner or later.”
Su Bei sat at the side and knocked on the table. “The low ratings are only temporary. The box office sales of Wind and Rain are continuing to rise. This means that everyone acknowledges the quality of the work. The external factors can’t shake the foundation.”
Xiao Ling still felt that it was unfair. “But this time, Xiao Ming has really cleared his name. Everyone thinks that what he did previously was just us slandering him. Everyone’s suffering was for nothing.”
At this point, she remembered that her sister, Xiao Xi, was also the one who took the initiative to withdraw from suing Xiao Ming. She immediately felt that she had no right to say these things.
“Everyone, do your own things first. Xiao Ming has committed many evil deeds. I believe that one day, we’ll be able to find enough evidence to convict him,” Su Bei said.
However, it was not easy to find evidence against him. Even Lu Heting, who was personally helping her, could not find any evidence against Xiao Ming.
It seemed that the entire Xiao family was still very protective of him.
As she was thinking, Su Bei’s phone rang. It was Lin Wenyu.
After Su Bei became busy with Nirvana Entertainment, she hadn’t contacted Lin Wenyu in a long time. When she saw a call from her, she pursed her lips and smiled before answering it.
“Su Bei, can I ask you for a favor?”
“Tell me what it is.”
Lin Wenyu was a little embarra.s.sed, but her tone was very anxious. “My idol is about to hold a concert, but I was busy with surgery that day and forgot to buy the tickets. When I was done, I realized that all the tickets were gone. Even the scalped tickets were sold out! I really can’t find anyone to help, so… Su Bei, can you help me?”
“Who’s so charming that made you fascinated?”
“It’s Guo Xintao. It’s rare for our Tao Tao to hold a concert, and I really want to go. But if you can’t do it, then forget it.” Lin Wenyu had liked Guo Xintao for a long time. Not only was she a loyal fan, but she was also an extremely pa.s.sionate fan. It was just that she usually didn’t show it because of her image as a doctor.
Su Bei remembered that Guo Xintao’s company had business dealings with Nirvana Entertainment. This time, they seemed to have sent a few VIP tickets over. She flipped through the records and found them. She said, “You’re quite lucky. I happen to have tickets. Should I send them to you?”
“Su Bei, I really love you so much! Thank you! But don’t tell Cousin. I’m afraid Dad and Mom will scold me if they find out,” Lin Wenyu pleaded.
Su Bei knew that the Lin family was strict, especially her uncle, Lin Hancheng. His square face was always filled with seriousness. Even though he was very gentle to her now, Su Bei was still a little afraid of him.
After asking for the address, Su Bei sent her two tickets. These two tickets were supposed to be given to her. She thought that since Lu Heting was not interested in them, she could send them to Lin Wenyu.
As popular movies continued to be released, a very important film award show entered the official preparation stage. It was the Golden Crown Film Awards.
When she found out that Xiao Ming was on the list of nominees for the Best Director Award, Su Bei immediately objected.
As an actress, she directly protested to the organizing committee.
“The matter of Xiao Ming harming women hasn’t been investigated yet. I can’t accept his nomination!”
The organizing committee did not want to offend Xiao Ming or Su Bei. They could only comfort Su Bei first. “It’s just a nomination. It’s not certain if he’ll win the award. Su Bei, calm down first.”
