Chapter 543: The Almighty Si Fuqing (1)
Translator: _Min_
In the realm of action sci-fi films, there exists a finite piece of the proverbial cake, and many directors vie for a slice. Yet, none could surpass the duo of Calvin and Xia Zuo.
Despite their notorious rivalry, the pair would sincerely praise each otherās movies when interviewed in public settings.
They were both adversaries and allies.
Fans of science fiction were well aware that Calvin and Xia Zuo were relentless
perfectionists. For just a single scene in their movies, they would conduct on-site inspections personally.
ā¦
Calvinās latest sci-fi venture, set on a planet comprised solely of oceans, had been three years prior.
He had invested in diving gear to explore the seas himself for six months, meticulously crafting the alien creatures that would populate his film.
Their rigorous work ethic resulted in several classic sci-fi films, beloved by fans of the genre.
A well-known film critic and veteran sci-fi enthusiast initially doubted their authenticity, given the less-than-flattering images of the two foreigners.
However, after posting on a movie discussion forum and receiving confirmation, it turned out these ābeggarsā were indeed Calvin and Xia Zuo.
The critic had little knowledge of Si Fuqing, having only heard her name without the need to clarify anything on her behalf. With a following of five million, his influence was significant.
[What the heck, donāt scare me like this.]
[As a fashion design student, Iām just quietly say, despite their shabby appearance, the suits they wore were high-end custom designs, suggesting it was excessive to call them beggars. If they were beggars, then Iām far more destitute.]
[Wow, it really is Calvin and Xia Zuo. I have the comparison photos here.]
[Wait! Does this mean Si Fuqing introduced two internationally renowned directors to Teacher Yuan?]
The situation reversed so rapidly that both onlookers and the fans of Yuan Heping were astonished.
However, this incident wasnāt significant enough to escalate further, with casual netizens simply moving on after a glance.
The ones who relentlessly pursued the matter were the marketing accounts and paid trolls deployed by Xu Jianianās agent.
But with this, the story exploded in popularity.
Yuan Hepingās fans were generally laid-back.
In āSurvival 66 Days,ā Si Fuqing had always taken good care of Yuan Heping, endearing her to his fans.
They had thought Si Fuqing was merely being polite. Little did they expect her so-called introduction of resources would involve international directors, not just offering Yuan a choice in roles but directors themselves.
Fans were aware of Yuan Hepingās efforts to break through internationally for four to five years. Having reached the pinnacle domestically as an actor winning all three major awards, his next frontier was the international stage.
But for someone from Great Xia, penetrating the international market was extremely challenging, requiring both connections and talent.
Yuan Heping had the talent but lacked the opportunity.
No one anticipated that Si Fuqing would lay such an opportunity at Yuan Hepingās feet. Instead of having directors pick actors, she allowed him to choose his directors.
Suddenly, the IDs that had been spreading derogatory comments vanished.
Many netizens flooded Si Fuqingās social media with praises, curious about how she managed to secure the participation of Calvin and Xia Zuo.
[@SiFuqingV: I just got lucky and shared Teacher Yuanās resume with the teams of both directors. I didnāt expect Teacher Yuan to be selected. He is truly remarkable. Please, Teacher Yuan, dazzle the foreigners with your skills and show them the legacy of Great Xiaās martial arts!] Yuan Heping responded with ellipses below.
This silenced the netizens.
[What?]
[This isnāt just getting lucky; itās like a koi leaping over the dragon gate to become a true dragon.]
[How is this even possible? What kind of luck is this?]
[Everyone, letās not speak. Today we worship the lucky koi fish. Fans, hold off your praises and let us bystanders pay our respects first.]
[Putting everything else aside, isnāt Si Fuqing incredibly generous? Who else would give away such opportunities?]
[Well, itās probably as she said. Teacher Yuanās action scenes are far superior to those of the foreigners. Itās his talent that got him noticed.]
Thus, Mousses saw another surge in followers.
They didnāt need to lead the charge; the sci-fi fans took care of the marketing accounts themselves.
Xu Jianianās agent was taken aback by the outcome, finding it unbelievable and feeling a burning sensation on his face, āHow is this even possible?ā Had the resources introduced by Si Fuqing been any less remarkable, he would have found a way to spin it.
But with two international directors involved, how could there be any negativity?
āI always feel somethingās off,ā Xu Jianian expressed concern, āEven if her luck is that good, itās too coincidental to have RM followed by internationally renowned directors, donāt you think?ā
āIsnāt that just good luck?ā the agent responded, visibly annoyed, āOr are you suggesting she actually knows the President of RM and these famous directors? If she did, why would she still be in the entertainment industry?ā
