Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Collector’s Edition

```

Luo You suddenly felt immense pressure, but since the words were already out, he had no choice but to plough on,

"Just imagine you really need to use the bathroom, but you have to patiently listen to someone finishing their speech before you can go. That person talks for an awfully long time, and you continuously look for an opportunity to interrupt but can’t find one, so you have to keep holding it in."

He Jinxia was still somewhat perplexed, but Dong Qiin, who was nearby, caught on immediately, her eyes lighting up as she exclaimed, "Yes, that’s exactly the feeling!"

In the following moments, the clueless He Jinxia was made to chug several bottles of water to personally experience that sensation.

That feeling was... subtly, delightfully tormenting.

He Jinxia said that when people say there are three urgencies in life, they ain’t kidding. Never again... No, there would absolutely never be a next time!

The fruits of her labor were also evident.

Half an hour later, the scene was successfully completed.

After it ended, Director Dong made a point of coming over to chat with He Jinxia, remarking, "Jinxia, you’ve never acted before, but sometimes on set, I get the illusion that you are another Sheng Yan."

"Your performance doesn’t resemble that of a rookie at all, but rather has the air of a seasoned thespian. Perhaps it’s natural talent. It seems you were born to be an actor."

"It was only during that very scene that I felt you were a newcomer."

She reached out and patted He Jinxia, offering words of encouragement, "Keep it up, act well, I believe in you!"

He Jinxia didn’t quite grasp why Dong Qiin came over to say these things, nor could she glean any useful information from her words, so she responded with an appropriately gracious smile.

Luo You wasn’t quite sure himself when He Jinxia mentioned it later, replying with uncertainty, "Maybe the state you were in during filming frightened her a bit, making her think she was witnessing the birth of a genius. But at the same time, she was skeptical, which made her conflicted."

"Acting geniuses like Sheng Yan don’t come around in Hua Country but once every few hundred years. She didn’t believe you could be the next Sheng Yan. Realizing you also had moments of confusion and challenge, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt the weight lift off her shoulders."

He Jinxia, still not quite following, furrowed her brows, "Why would lifting a weight off her shoulders be a thing? Could an excellent actor actually put pressure on a director?"

Luo You let out a long breath, "Of course. A great actor can affect not only the other actors in the cast but the director as well.

It’s not just about how the script is presented; it’s also about the whole atmosphere of the crew. At the end of the day, it’s the actor’s exceptional talent to blame."

He Jinxia: "..." Suddenly feeling that Sheng Yan was somewhat innocent.

After pondering for a moment, she slowly replied, "So, she came over specifically to express the relief and marvel of falling from genius to mortal?"

Luo You cleared his throat and turned away without answering. For some reason, seeing He Jinxia’s expression made him feel that revealing the truth would be somewhat hurtful.

"Let’s talk about the impact of making it onto the trending list this time..."

At that same moment, on the other side of the ocean, Sheng Yan, who was rushing to attend an event, received a call from his mother.

Mrs. Sheng: "Your ’Charming’ magazine issue has been published over there, right? Hurry and buy a few hundred copies to send over to me!"

Sheng Yan rubbed his forehead, only remembering his mother and Aunt He’s conversation in the group chat from the day before as expected, both wanted to buy several dozen copies each.

He said, "I’ll buy them later, but the copies sold in Europe are in English, and the cover star is different. Are you sure you want them?"

Only then did Mrs. Sheng snap out of her excitement, smacking her head, "Oh my, I’m getting old, my memory’s not what it used to be. I completely forgot that different countries publish different versions of the magazine."

The next second, her tone shifted, and she said with a cheerful lilt, "But I also remember that some newsstands in Europe sell not only the local editions but also the original editions from the magazine’s home country, right?"

Sheng Yan: "...Mom, those are sold as collector’s editions."

Who says you’re getting muddleheaded? You’re as shrewd as ever.

Mrs. Sheng chirped with a laugh, "My dear son, I remember that for these collector’s editions you can pick a photo from inside the magazine to have it sent as a poster. Make sure to choose Jinxia’s photo of ’Charming Women’ in tears, okay!"

After going roundabout, Mrs. Sheng finally revealed her true intentions.

```

What else could Sheng Yan say, he naturally had to agree.

Mrs. Sheng went on telling him to take good care of himself and pay attention to his health before hanging up the phone.

At that moment, Zhang Ming opened the car door, bringing with him a unique piercing chill from outside.

With a "bang," the car door was shut, and he handed Sheng Yan a cup of warm coffee, saying,

"The person in charge of ’Burberry’ magazine just called to apologize to us, saying that the celebrity who was supposed to have the photo shoot with you this morning had their flight canceled due to a storm yesterday, and they could only fly over today, .

The photo shoot this afternoon can’t proceed, they are willing to make some compensation, and postpone the shoot."

Sheng Yan took the coffee and started reviewing Tonghua Entertainment’s quarterly business report on his tablet, replying absentmindedly, "Mm, just handle everything according to the contract for any violation, I will stay in Europe for no more than three days."

Zhang Ming nodded his head, his glance accidentally catching the dense, multi-colored lines on the tablet’s screen, immediately making him feel dizzy.

He quickly averted his gaze, internally exclaiming for the umpteenth time:

How come some people not only are born good-looking and highly intelligent, but they can also hold multiple jobs and excel at all of them?

Some people really are God’s favorites, like the one sitting beside him.

Not only is he great at acting, but he’s also proficient at running a company.

Everyone in the circle knows that while the official CEO of Tonghua Entertainment is a high-level management talent hired by the board of directors at great cost, the company is actually secretly controlled by Sheng Yan.

Life’s winners, that’s what you call people like Sheng Yan.

While Zhang Ming was lost in thought, Sheng Yan’s cool voice suddenly reached his ear: "Go buy me the latest issue of ’L&G Charming Women’ magazine."

Zhang Ming was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Sheng Yan.

He saw Sheng Yan with his head lowered, seemingly nonchalant as he looked at the data, casually uttering those words as if... there was nothing odd about it at all!

"Not the European edition, I want the Hua Country collector’s edition. Go to the specialty store in the eastern district of Silton Street to buy it, that’s the closest place here that sells the Hua Country collector’s edition."

Sheng Yan’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the tablet, paused, and then he continued, "Every collector’s edition lets you choose one of the photos from this issue as a free poster. I want the ’Beauty Crying’ poster of He Jinxia. Buy a hundred copies of the magazine, and make sure you don’t get the posters wrong, one hundred of them."

After instructing everything that needed to be said, Sheng Yan raised his left wrist, looked down at the watch, and said indifferently, "You now have two hours to complete this task."

He turned to look at Zhang Ming and calmly asked, "Is there anything unclear to you?"

Facing that supremely indifferent face, Zhang Ming dared not utter a word of dissent.

From what Sheng Yan had said, he extracted a few key pieces of information—

’L&G Charming Women’ Hua Country collector’s edition, ah, the focus is "Charming Women."

The ’Beauty Crying’ poster of He Jinxia, the focus is the poster.

To buy a hundred copies, the focus is one! hundred! copies!

Grand sir, buying a hundred copies, what are you up to, to buy a copy, give one away, discard one, then tear one up?

At that moment, Zhang Ming had only one thought: Rich, capricious!

Feeling the icy chill coming from beside Sheng Yan, Zhang Ming swallowed hard, gave a hollow laugh, and hastily said, "No, I have no questions, I’ll go buy them right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly opened the car door and ran out.

He was clueless about what was going on with the lord, but he supposed he should first buy what Sheng Yan wanted, after all, it wasn’t his money being spent.
