Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 834 - 836: Weeping Bitterly

The dukes from various regions, seeing the turmoil, also declared independence, establishing themselves as emperors and gaining the trust of many common people.

Then, the various countries began waging aimless wars; at first, some fought for the unification of the world, but as the war dragged on, the lines between justice and personal gain blurred.

Why fight, and when will the fighting end? Even those engaged in battle were unclear.

The Mortal World was filled with bloodlust, the Heaven was filled with bloodlust, and so were the Six Realms.

In the penultimate episode, the Heavenly forces led by Princess Yu Yin had gained the upper hand, victory seemed within grasp, but unexpectedly, the opposing force’s Yu Yun feigned an attack on Emperor Bai Ze before dying.

Yu Yin saw it and rushed to help, only for Yu Yun to change his target and charge at her with a fierce attack the next moment!

It turned out that from the very beginning, all Yu Yun wanted was Yu Yin’s death!

"No!!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With a roar of anger from Emperor Bai Ze, he held Yu Yin’s body, shedding tears of regret, and so the penultimate episode slowly came to a close.

Xiao Xiangyu’s fans were watching this episode and cried their hearts out. While clutching their phones, venting their sad feelings on Weibo, He Jinxia finally emerged from acting and had time to see the reaction in Huaxia.

Coincidentally, her scenes for today were not many. She had finished her filming, and the remaining time was hers to manage freely.

As she scrolled through the Weibo news, her phone’s WeChat vibrated with an invitation from Yu Yanyu initiating a group video call.

He Jinxia was the first to join in.

Yu Yanyu seemed to be looking at something on his phone and didn’t pay special attention to who joined. He muttered, "So miserable, so many negative reviews, such a touching work and it still gets criticized, really no taste!"

He read out the comments on Weibo, "If the writer gives the main characters a tragic ending, I’m definitely sending razors over, blocking them for life, no explanation needed..."

Yu Yanyu laughed, "Hahaha, tragedy is good, why not a tragedy? It’s more thought-provoking! You just don’t understand the beauty of tragedy."

"I feel like Bai Xuan and Peacock Spirit are the real pair, gentle top, proud bottom, what a match..."

Yu Yanyu snorted, "How could that kid Ren Xiao possibly top me? No, actually, even if we had to be divided, I should be the one on top! Another one with no taste!"

At this moment, He Jinxia coughed, wondering how long this kid would keep talking to himself?

Suddenly, there was a burst of coughing from within the phone, startling Yu Yanyu, who quickly opened WeChat to see it was He Jinxia, and he heaved a sigh of relief, saying with a smile:

"Sister Jinxia, how come you have time today?"

He Jinxia tactfully avoided mentioning what he said earlier, intrigued, she asked, "Why start a group call?"

Yu Yanyu replied bashfully, "It’s the finale today. Everyone’s put a lot into this show, and with it wrapping up today, I just thought of calling you guys to chat. If we have time, maybe we can gather for a celebration party."

He Jinxia understood.

In essence, Yu Yanyu this kid couldn’t bear solitude, and wanted to use the show’s end as an excuse to get everyone together for a gathering.

He Jinxia, far away in a foreign land, could truly do nothing to help with the gathering in Huaxia.

She looked up at the clear sky, and on the screen, Yu Yanyu was still wearing heavy winter clothes, while on her side, it was hot enough to wear short sleeves.

At this time, another new member joined the video call, and it was none other than Qin Siqin.

Upon seeing He Jinxia, Qin Siqin’s eyes lit up and she asked how her filming was going, if it was smooth, and if she was used to it.

He Jinxia responded one by one, while also casually browsing Weibo.

Looking at the crying comments on her phone, she could feel the fans’ grief through the screen, and she couldn’t help but smile as her eyes curved.

The more it hurt, the more wonderful it was, and the more heart-wrenching the cries, the more it showed that the audience could relate, indirectly proving the series’ success.

Although she didn’t promote much before going abroad for filming, she always kept in touch with Luo You, who often relayed the achievements of "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows" to her.

There was no doubt they had bet right!

The special effects of this fantasy drama were outstanding, the plot progression was excellent, the protagonists’ appearances were stunning, and the acting was superb. It successfully attracted fans across both the younger and middle-aged generations!

According to research, many women over fifty were also watching this series.

This winter, "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows" exploded in Huaxia, becoming a phenomenal IP work!

He Jinxia seized the opportunity to establish her position, with several consecutive projects achieving impressive success, and domestic media had already predicted she could be the next female star to make it to the top tier!

Due to the series’ heat, Luo You had once advised the company’s higher-ups to get her a few major endorsements and bombard all of Huaxia to catapult her popularity into the first tier.

Tonghua Entertainment’s top management held three meetings for this matter and ultimately decided to wait a bit longer, thinking there was a certain risk in starting bombarding publicity now. Even if she rose up, there was a risk of an unstable foundation and falling at any time.

The real reason was that He Jinxia didn’t have enough strong pieces of work to present.

From transitioning into an actress to the present, over two years of time, she’s considered a prolific actress, her projects never ceased filming, but very few achieved great success.

She became the lead in the drama industry and achieved remarkable results, but only with "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows".

The weekend series "High Energy Classroom" doesn’t count. It’s impressive among weekend dramas, but on daily broadcasts, it falls short. Due to its niche subject, it didn’t generate a sensation, though it had a good reputation it remained niche.

As for films, she had only one starring film, "Eighteen Years Old Sky," which had impressive results but couldn’t withstand the test in the commercial market.

What is the market?

The most straightforward market response is the box office revenue.

No matter how jaw-droppingly good the reviews are or how bottoming-out it flops, a film needs viewers to hold value.

Higher box office sales mean more money earned. In the eyes of businessmen, the box office is the standard to measure an actor’s value.

"Eighteen Years Old Sky" just hit the quality line, in a year’s film releases, it’s... a bit underwhelming.

In retrospect, He Jinxia’s lead movies hadn’t even been released yet!

With the company’s explanation, Luo You grudgingly accepted the result and waited to see the feedback after the movie’s release before launching full-on publicity.

Although online, He Jinxia’s popularity and heat were high, even higher than some top stars, in the world of actors, ultimately it’s all about the achievements of the works.
