Chapter 290: Successful Gambling
Qin Xi listened to Gu Chenxing's chatter, and Gu Chenxing looked at him with sparkling eyes, like a puppy wagging its tail for praise. Qin Xi sneered in his heart. After all, he was young, and he usually pretended to be mature and steady, but in fact he was still childish. Qin Xi couldn't help but want to make a joke.
"Oh~ So I told you so much at the beginning, but you only have the answer now?" Qin Xi shook her head and sighed, "It seems that when I was filming [It Happened to Be You] with me, it didn't arouse your interest in becoming an actor at all~"
"I was... I was only busy..." Gu Chenxing was teased by Qin Xi. Thinking back to that "dark history", his face turned red and he couldn't speak clearly.
"How could I have thought so much! Well, I was too young at that time..."
Qin Xi couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, "You're not that old now~"
Gu Chenxing quickly realized that Qin Xi was teasing him. He rolled his eyes at her angrily and muttered, "You're treating me like a kid again~"
Qin Xi recalled his past life. Compared to the Gu Chenxing in his past life who became famous at home and abroad with [Yang Qing Zhou], the Gu Chenxing in this life became famous earlier, but it was not easy. He became famous at a young age with a fast-food fairy tale drama. Although he reaped the benefits of the times, there were more people who were jealous of him, saying that he was unworthy of his position, had bad luck, and relied on his face to make a living. He was surrounded by countless flatterers, and there were countless people who wanted to use his popularity to hype and make quick money.
Under such a double attack of ice and fire, anyone with a weak mind would have been swept away long ago, but Gu Chenxing did not. He could completely ignore the disturbances of the outside world, stick to his original intention, remove all the halos, treat himself as a newcomer, and completely let Director Xu train him. During this year and a half, if he wanted, he could even shoot 5 movies, but he would rather spend all his energy here. Isn't this more rare than his previous life when he was unknown?
"I am older than you, right? In fact, I am your guide into this industry. Since we are so destined to meet, I will give you a few more instructions..."
Qin Xi put away her smile and said seriously, "Being in the entertainment industry is like walking on thin ice, and it is like a passing cloud. No matter how high your achievements are today, they are only temporary. If you can't always be humble and enterprising, constantly improve yourself, and keep up with the times, sooner or later you will fall from your highs. The audience will not be tolerant of you in the future because of your past glory, but will demand more of you with a more demanding eye.
Yue Ying is a recent example. As an actress, there are only a handful of people who have received more honors than her, but just one bad movie is enough to make her be criticized to pieces, not to mention those who violated laws and disciplines. Looking at the current momentum, if nothing unexpected happens, you will stand on the top with [Yang Qingzhou], but the road ahead is still long, and you must cherish your feathers, because you must know that it only takes a moment for the ground to collapse! "
Gu Chenxing was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Xi, who was teasing him the previous second, would give him such a serious instruction the next second. He couldn't help but be quite moved. Now he is in the limelight and everyone around him is congratulating him. The only one who can remind him to take the long-term view is Qin Xi.
Perhaps it was because the path he was walking now was the same one Qin Xi had walked before, so he had a deep understanding of what he needed most now and in the future. Sure enough, she was still good to me and always worried about me~
"Don't worry, I take your words to heart~"
Gu Chenxing said hesitantly, "Looking at the box office performance of [Yang Qingzhou], we don't have to worry about the bet with Meige. Yaohe Investment has almost lost money a long time ago. This time the bet failed. If Yaohe Group doesn't invest heavily to protect him, bankruptcy is inevitable... The two-year period will be up soon~"
Gu Chenxing's heart leaped with joy, he had been watching her for so many years, pursuing her for so many years, waiting for her for so many years, and now he was finally going to become her regular wife!
Qin Xi and he were not thinking the same thing. Qin Xi sighed.
"Yes, after waiting for so many years, I finally waited for this day!"

The new martial arts movie "The Young Boat" during the 2013 Spring Festival achieved major breakthroughs in all aspects. In terms of box office, it reached 18 billion, not only becoming the number one movie in the Spring Festival box office that year, but also successfully ranked among the top three in the Chinese film history box office rankings.
In terms of word of mouth, it is even hailed as a milestone of China's new martial arts movies. It is the pinnacle of martial arts in recent years. Director Xu Lai and the entire team have become famous. Qin Xi has just won the Best Actress award and her status has risen, so the bonus is not big, it is just icing on the cake. Gu Chenxing, on the other hand, has jumped from a top TV drama star to a powerful movie star.
In short, [The Young Boat] was a complete success because of its great reputation. This movie, which was not suitable for the whole family to watch, was watched by families in theaters for a second time, draining the market. Unfortunately, the epic blockbuster [The Beacon Fire] that competed with it at the same time only barely made over 100 million yuan at the box office and lost everything.
As the largest investor and producer, Meige received 30% of the box office revenue. Meige's Finance Department and Qin Xi Studio worked together to urgently calculate the company's net profit for the past three years, because the three high-grossing movies starring Qin Xi, [The Abyss and You], [Tumei] and [The Young Boat] all had Meige's investment, plus the hit TV series starring Mu Fei and Mu Jiaqi, as well as the endorsement fees from stars like Gu Chenxing, Qin Xi and Mu Fei, the net profit has far exceeded 10 billion, not to mention that [The Young Boat] is a Chinese Kung Fu action movie that is very popular among foreign audiences, and is currently negotiating copyright transactions with many countries, and will receive a large amount of copyright fees later.
Meige has fully met the previously agreed listing standards, but considering the financial situation of the investor Yaohe, Meige's legal department has already made preparations. Meige and Shanfeng have already discussed it, and the same is true for Shanfeng Group.
As the agreed date approached, Qin Xi couldn't help but feel a little confused. Everything was going as she expected, but even if Yaohe Investment went bankrupt and owed billions, what would happen? Xu Fang could just retreat back to his father's wings. Yaohe Group would have to pay compensation to save his son, but wouldn't Xu Fang continue to enjoy a good life?
Qin Xi could only go so far. If she crossed the line just to make Xu Fang completely destitute, then what was the difference between her and Xu Fang? Besides, even if Xu Fang was really destitute, would it be enough to offset the suffering she had endured in her previous life? Besides, without her previous life, how could she be here now? And Xu Fang in this life hadn't hurt her that much. After thinking about it, Qin Xi didn't know what she was asking for.
Perhaps it's time to let go of this obsession that has troubled her for so many years. If she doesn't, how can she have a new beginning?
The sound of the door opening interrupted Qin Xi's thoughts, and Sister Meng hurried in.
"The bet was successful!"
Qin Xi was so shocked that she almost lost her balance and knocked over a chair.
"How is this possible? Where did Xu Fang get the money?!"
