Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 804 - 806: A Perfect Match

Fans from all age groups follow celebrities, and as celebrities develop at different levels, they attract different fan groups. Nowadays, it’s rare to find someone who only follows a single celebrity from start to finish.

Most fans immerse themselves in a celebrity for a certain period of time, and after the initial passion fades, they are drawn to other stars.

Celebrities grow, and so do their fans.

Some fans get married and have children, and seeing their idols reach significant milestones in life gives them a sense of satisfaction.

He Jinxia doesn’t want to be everyone’s lover forever; she hopes netizens will focus more on her work and less on her personal life.

Of course, the prerequisite is that her work must stand the test of time. If her work is subpar, proclaiming such a stance is just digging her own grave.

On the phone, Jiahui was silent for a while before suddenly exclaiming, "It’s only natural that Brother Sheng Yan likes you; sometimes you two seem quite compatible."

He Jinxia regained her focus and smiled, "Aren’t you mad anymore?"

Jiahui snorted, "There’s nothing to be mad about. Sheng Yan and I have incompatible personalities. If we could be together, we would have been by now. He doesn’t even remember me much.

The first time he contacted me overseas was to get an invitation to an event. I remember you were there too. Thinking back, he probably approached me for an invitation because of you."

Changing her tone, Jiahui suddenly laughed and said smugly, "You’re still my friend. I couldn’t have him, but it’s not a loss if my friend got him, rather than Bai Bing!

If Bai Bing knew it was you, she’d go crazy!

Recently, when you attended an event with Sheng Yan, wearing a mask, Bai Bing went around like a mad dog, biting everyone. If she finds out Sheng Yan got married... Ha ha!"

Jiahui laughed gloatingly; just imagining the scene made her excited!

Feeling the chat was going well, He Jinxia casually mentioned the Wilson incident.

After listening, Jiahui’s previous lightheartedness vanished, and she spoke in a rare, serious tone, "This is quite risky."

She pondered for a moment and said carefully, "Though it’s not good to belittle one’s relatives, my uncle’s personality is a bit off. He insists a movie is good, no matter what others say, if he believes in it.

And for friends he trusts, no matter how bad their situation is, he’ll go all out to help them, even if their films aren’t as good as imagined.

Because they’re all friends, they approach movie viewings with a certain fondness; unless it’s totally against their views, my uncle still considers it good."

He Jinxia frowned. She initially wanted to gauge Jiahui’s thoughts, but after probing, she felt even less confident.

Jiahui’s solemn voice echoed in her ears, "Your concern is valid. Though the ’Devil’s Sea’ series is popular, the third installment didn’t have a great reputation, and even I, an outsider, heard about it.

I saw it back then and felt it was just average. You must seriously review the script for the fourth part. If it turns out to be a bad movie and you still do it, it could greatly impact your career."

He Jinxia responded with a sound of acknowledgment and soon ended the call.

Initially, she planned to get Jiahui’s opinion before consulting Wilson, but now she saw no need for that.

He Jinxia took a deep breath, looked up at the dark night sky outside, and sighed deeply.

Everything will have to wait until tomorrow when she reads the script.

The next day, a light rain fell, and after the rain, the temperature in the Imperial City dropped further.

People bustled on the streets, and every exhale fogged the air with misty white breath.

Just then, Luo You arrived at Dongting Lake Garden, carrying a document envelope.

Upon arrival, he handed the document to He Jinxia, "Take a look first; don’t bother serving me. I’ll get myself a glass of water."

Given the urgency, He Jinxia wasted no words, taking the document and swiftly skimming through the script.

After a dozen minutes, she had roughly finished reading, her expression relaxed, and she turned back to the first page for a more detailed reading.

Reading a good script is like reading a great story.

When reading "Special Action," He Jinxia felt the steadfast, unyielding spirit and the indomitable will!

Reading "Devil’s Sea 4: Mist Jungle," she sensed the grandeur of the sea forest, the thrilling epic scenes! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

These two films: one emphasizes internal spirit, the other external dazzling effects.

Few movies achieve both. In He Jinxia’s view, "Special Action" had a superior plot compared to "Devil’s Sea 4," but the external effects were... lacking.

As she continued to turn the pages, time passed imperceptibly, and eventually, she reached the last page, closing the script, eyes closed, savoring its essence.

Luo You brought his laptop, intending to handle some business, but found he couldn’t concentrate, constantly observing Jinxia from the corner of his eye, his heart fluctuating with anxiety.

Finally, when she finished, Luo You eagerly asked, "How do you feel about the script, is the content okay?"

He Jinxia opened her eyes, pondered for a while, and instead of directly answering, she said:

"This is a script that heavily relies on special effects. If done well, it will be very successful. If not, it will fall into mediocrity. It seems a bit similar to ’Fox Fairy Legend,’ which we got an offer for before."

Luo You hesitated, recollecting the past, and then nodded, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have forgotten, but now that you say it, I see the similarity. However, I think ’Devil’s Sea 4’ has more potential than ’Fox Fairy Legend.’

First, in terms of effects, it builds on the previous three films, meaning many templates are already there, shortening production time significantly. Secondly, the plot: everyone is familiar with the nautical adventure theme.

Compared to ’Fox Fairy Legend,’ which requires understanding the mysterious Eastern background, ’Devil’s Sea 4’ is straightforward, accessible to everyone."

He continued, "I analyzed the failure of ’Devil’s Sea 3’ overnight. The issue wasn’t with the effects, but the dull and tedious plot.

The logic failed, fight scenes were random, and after they ended, there was no substantial conclusion. However, the fourth part won’t be like that. The narrative presents a clear cause and effect, and the reasons for the fights are reasonable, with solid logic..."

After talking extensively, Luo You still remembered He Jinxia and anxiously asked, "What do you think?"

He Jinxia spread her hands, smiling sincerely, "You’ve already said everything I wanted to say. What about you?"

Luo You was momentarily stumped, unable to process, and he stalled.

"So, you think... it’s doable?"

He Jinxia nodded emphatically, placing her hand on the script, and declared solemnly, "I’ll take this film!"

The two struck an agreement!

Having decided to take it on, previous worries were no longer relevant. He Jinxia just needed to adjust her mindset, focusing on immersing herself in the new project.
