Chapter 1355: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (28)
Although this was a suburban area, there was a cinema about five kilometers away.
So in his mask, sungla.s.ses and baseball cap, Mo Xicheng drove s.h.i.+ Nianyao and they arrived at the cinema.
They bought two tickets. As s.h.i.+ Nianyao was about to enter the theatre, Mo Xicheng suddenly grabbed her hand.
She turned around and saw that he was looking at a couple some distance away. They were holding popcorn and a big cup of soft drink.
There were two straws sticking out of the cup and the couple had their heads lowered over the cup, drinking through the straws.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you want to get some snacks?”
They just had dinner and right now, s.h.i.+ Nianyao was still feeling stuffed. Hence she replied, “No.”
Mo Xicheng, however, said, “I want some.”
Surprised, s.h.i.+ Nianyao asked, “Didn’t you have enough to eat just now?”
He muttered, “Nope.”
“Well then, go get some.”
He nodded and walked to the queue. After he bought popcorn and a soft drink, the two of them held hands and walked into the cinema.
It was dim in the room. The couple made their way to their seats and sat down.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s eyes shone with excitement in the dark as she said, “Ahhhhh, I can finally watch my idol’s movie!”
Mo Xicheng: …
“You have no idea, you act in so few movies, so it’s a rare chance to watch one.”
Mo Xicheng laughed and said, “Very few, that’s true.”
“It’s not just very few. It’s pathetically few. Just when you do really well in a supporting role and have a chance to progress, you go all quiet again.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao sighed and said, “Why is it so difficult to make it big?”
He listened quietly to her lament.
She continued, “You know, we fans have disputes among ourselves too. When we like a particular celebrity, we hope that he makes it big, and I belong to the group of fans that has been following you around for the longest time. All of us have been vouching for you! When we finally heard you were taking a lead role, we were all so excited.”
Mo Xicheng couldn’t help shaking his head when he heard this.
As they chatted quietly, the two people seated in front of them suddenly started to talk.
Both of them were young ladies. Staring at the screen, one of them said, “Here’s something I heard. You know how initially, the male lead for this movie was Shen Liangchuan?”
The other lady nodded and said, “Yes, why?”
“Well, it was supposed to have been Shen Liangchuan, but because Mo Xicheng did some s.e.xual favours to the investor, they took away the role from Shen Liangchuan and gave it to Mo Xicheng.”
“Freaking h.e.l.l, no way! They actually took Best Actor Shen out of the role?”
“I heard that the investor is a lady and super-rich. Her family owns a huge enterprise. Look at Mo Xicheng’s pretty boy face.. tsk tsk!”
“Now that you say that, I also feel that it’s possible Mo Xicheng’s sugar mummy is an old and ugly woman. It could be the reason why he has never done advertis.e.m.e.nts all these years. The entertainment industry is a complex thing.”
“Ah, at first I was really looking forward to this film, but when they changed the male lead, I lost interest. On the big screen, isn’t this Mo Xicheng’s acting a bit stiff? But anyway, I was bored today so I didn’t mind watching the movie.”
The other lady nodded.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao turned to glance at Mo Xicheng after hearing this conversation.
