Chapter 373: Chapter 374: Scheduled Date

"Chen Xiaohui, I love you!"

"Chen! Xiao! Hui!!"

"Chen Xiaohui, how did you lose weight?"

...

He Jinxia was protected in the middle by Cheng Xiaohua, Luo You, and a photographer who had been hastily recruited as part of their entourage, with the ears filled with foreign fans enthusiastically calling her "Chen Xiaohui".

The precise pronunciation of Chinese was difficult for the foreigners, and the moment they tried to say it out loud, they all went out of tune. It took a while for the crowd to chant until He Jinxia could barely make out that they were calling for "Chen Xiaohui".

Luo You kept telling them to make way in a foreign language, trying to squeeze through, but there were too many people blocking their path—they simply couldn’t get out. Forcing their way out would likely result in someone getting hurt in an accident, and overseas, the penalties for such incidents were very strict.

After shouting for a while to no avail, Luo You decisively called the local police for help.

The police responded quickly; perhaps someone had already called them earlier. In less than a few minutes, the police car arrived.

The police held guns in their hands and as soon as they stood by the crowd, everyone immediately dispersed, and He Jinxia, with her head down, entered the police car protected by Luo You and others.

This incident caused quite a stir, and many Huaxia journalists who had been sent to Country M to photograph celebrities received the news and rushed to the police station where He Jinxia was being detained to get the first-hand news.

"Is this the first time a Huaxia artist in Country M had to call for police cars to escape fans?" a paparazzi remarked.

One of the paparazzi chuckled and said, "Actually, this is due to He Jinxia’s team not being careful enough. They didn’t anticipate that ’Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!’ had recently been released in Country M. He Jinxia here has gained a wave of fans. If her team had gotten the news earlier, it probably wouldn’t have come to the point of needing to use a police car to escape."

Other paparazzi added, "No matter what, this is our opportunity. Country M has its fashion week every year, and those female stars, photographed over and over, are just the same few faces. People at home are tired of it. Last year, Zhang Yuyan got famous for wearing a dress with red and green colors on the red carpet. This year, we have He Jinxia calling the police to avoid her fans. This trip to Country M was worth it!"

...

The paparazzi were having a heated discussion outside the police station while He Jinxia was having a tough time giving her statement inside.

An hour later, they finally walked out of the police station.

Paparazzi immediately surrounded them, but Luo You and Cheng Xiaohua calmly blocked them. There were not many paparazzi who had come, so they managed to stay ordered.

Luo You selected a few questions for He Jinxia to answer and then promptly took her back to the hotel by car.

Back in the hotel room, the polite smile that had been on He Jinxia’s face disappeared instantly, and she lay on the bed looking rather deflated.

The feeling of being surrounded by fans was not pleasant at all—not only was she hemmed in by people on all sides, it felt as if she could never break free, and it was extremely frightening.

Had any one of the fans accidentally fallen to the ground, a stampede would have been inevitable, and by then, the news would undoubtedly have taken on a different angle.

Luo You visibly breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Fortunately, the situation was controlled in time. If the police had arrived later, an accident could have very likely occurred."

He Jinxia frowned, recalling a detail, "How did they know to call me Chen Xiaohui?"

Luo You explained, "I only found out after we reached the police station. The film you starred in, ’Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!’, was recently introduced in Country M, and your performance has made you an idol among many overweight individuals there. So when they saw you were coming to Country M, they were especially excited and rushed over to see you."

Cheng Xiaohua realized, "No wonder many of the people blocking us in Country M were overweight. It’s really scary dealing with overweight people, immovable, how could we even talk about getting out?"

Just as He Jinxia was about to say something, Luo You’s phone rang.

"Hello?"

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, fine, I can provide you with exclusive photos and exclusive answers to questions. Just organize the questions and send them to my email... Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Luo You turned to He Jinxia and took the initiative to say, "Do you remember Yidian Entertainment, which sought to collaborate with you over the New Year?"

He Jinxia nodded her head.

Luo You said, "The news about how you had to use the police to escape from fans in M Country has spread to Huaxia, and it’s now trending on social media. Yidian Entertainment wants your exclusive scoop, and I agreed. They also let me in on some news, suggesting that the more noise you make in M Country, the more unexpected rewards you might receive."

He Jinxia’s expression became contemplative, "What does that mean?"

Luo You spread his hands, smiling slyly, "It’s simple, fame!"

"The bigger a scene you cause in M Country, the higher your profile will be, and many collaboration offers will come your way naturally. It’s not hard to figure out why, but Yidian Entertainment going out of their way to remind us, that’s their courtesy."

After thinking for a while, Luo You added, "And they’re in the gossip business, they know a lot of first-hand information in the entertainment circle. They’ve probably noticed some movements in M Country’s entertainment circle recently, so they reminded me to seize the opportunity."

Cheng Xiaohua was confused and quickly asked, "So what exactly is the opportunity?"

Luo You’s response was straightforward, "I don’t know."

Cheng Xiaohua: "..."

Luo You gave her a sharp glance, "We are in M Country, one of the top ten most romantic cities in the world, a cluster of luxury brands, and it’s Fashion Week, a carnival for the fashion world. Whatever we can catch during this period is a gain, so there’s no need to know or even need to know."

Cheng Xiaohua, having been scolded, shrank back and muttered softly, "You’re just saying that because you couldn’t find out, aren’t you?"

Luo You glared at her on the spot, while He Jinxia beside them smiled cheerfully, giving Sister Xiao Hua a thumbs-up.

So there you have it, brother!

In Huaxia, the hashtag #HeJinxiaPoliceEscort quickly fell from the sky to the number one spot on the trending searches, not even sitting warm for ten minutes before it was powerfully overtaken by another trending topic—

"World," official announcement of the release date!

As to the quality of "World," since the audience hasn’t seen the full film, it remains unknown, straining to convince themselves that it was a great film based on the track record of a renowned director.

And "World" shot to the top of the trending searches without even releasing a teaser, all thanks to one person—

A legendary figure in the Huaxia entertainment industry, a global superstar: Sheng Yan, Emperor Sheng!

As if to demonstrate its power, the official page for "World" remained a blank slate even after trending on Weibo, without revealing any news.

Half an hour later, the official Weibo finally sauntered in to post... a cast list.

Netizens, upon seeing that the official Weibo for "World" released a new post, clicked excitedly to check it out, and upon seeing the dense list of actors, felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten something terrible.

[Even a makeup photo would have been fine, ah! We waited and waited for so long, just to get this thing?]

[+1, who doesn’t know that Sheng Yan is the lead actor! I want to see the teaser! I want to see the actors! I want to see the behind-the-scenes!]

[I, I, I’m freaking out, what did I see? Jinxia is actually part of the cast too?! [Shocked][Cheering]]
