Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Everyone’s Idol (16)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jiu could not fall asleep at all and just like that, he laid in bed till daylight. He heard some noises outside and quickly got up to take a look.

In the later part of filming, Su Jiu did not even dare to look at Chuzheng. Chuzheng, on the other hand, looked as if nothing had happened and continued doing her stuff as usual.

Liu Manman’s ankle was swollen and Xie Zhou initially wanted to send Liu Manman to the hospital, but Liu Manman refused. She insisted that she would hang on till the end of filming.

Everybody was impressed by her dedication and their likability towards Liu Manman increased by a lot.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Regarding the matter where Chuzheng bullied Liu Manman, it had already been spread to the whole production team. As such, many disliked her or even held disdain for her attitude, but in consideration of her earlier performance, nobody dared to look for trouble from her.

The last few days of filming mainly consist of completing a few missions such as making a meal… as well as some mini-games.

After two days, filming ended. As such, the managers of the respective artistes waited for them below the mountain.

Pei Yu personally came to fetch Su Jiu.

“Is that Pei Yu?” Du Ming was caught by surprise. “He is Su Jiu’s manager?”

“What kind of background does Su Jiu have?”

“It has been a long time since Pei Yu managed new actors.”

“Isn’t Movie King Xie managed by…” Du Ming suddenly kept quiet. Pei Yu used to be Xie Zhou’s manager.

However, at that moment, Xie Zhou’s identity had not been exposed. In his early days, Xie Zhou did not rely on his family and climbed to the top of the acting industry through his abilities. During that period, Pei Yu contributed a lot to his success as well.

Pei Yu brought him up to fame and no artiste brought up by Pei Yu could surpass Xie Zhou.

“Long time no see.” Xie Zhou initiated the greeting with Pei Yu.

“Mr. Xie, long time no see.” Pei Yu nodded his head politely.

“Didn’t you say that you won’t manage new artistes anymore?” Xie Zhou took a glance at Su Jiu.

“Mr. Xie, you must have remembered it wrongly. I meant that I will not manage new artistes from Huang Fei Entertainment anymore.”

Xie Zhou’s eyes darkened. “Pei Yu, if you come to Huang Fei Entertainment, we can give you better resources and pay.”

“That wouldn’t be needed, Mr. Xie.” Pei Yu looked towards another direction. “President Gu.”

Chuzheng walked over and Xie Zhou furrowed his eyebrows deeper. ‘President Gu?’

Why wasn’t he aware of such a big shot in the entertainment industry?

Chuzheng side-eyed Xie Zhou and directly walked to the car behind him. “Mr. Xie, I will take my leave,” said Pei Yu.

Pei Yu pulled Su Jiu to the car and left speedily.

Xie Zhou furrowed his eyebrows and ordered the assistant beside him, “Do a background check on that Gu Chuzheng.”

The assistant nodded and turned around to leave.

However, Xie Zhou stopped him again. “Wait, check on that Su Jiu as well.”

“Gu Chuzheng is the new president of Jewel Entertainment?” Xie Zhou looked at the photo on the document and furrowed his eyebrows deeper.

Xie Zhou flipped through the pages of the document. “She came from a modest family. How did she suddenly become the new president of Jewel Entertainment?”

“I have investigated and she seems to have inherited some rich family’s wealth however, I couldn’t find out which family it was. Powerful families always keep their secrets hidden so it would be difficult to know the exact details.”

‘Wealthy family…’

‘Gu Chuzheng?’

When Xie Zhou received Chuzheng’s details,”The Allure of the Phoenix Princess” had already started broadcasting on television. Initially, not many people watched this drama, but unexpectedly, after it started it’s broadcast, the ratings suddenly skyrocketed.

It was as if one could see the shadow of this drama everywhere.

Chuzheng initially did not have many fans on Weibo, but suddenly her Weibo was flooded with messages and fans.

[The Spring’s Waterfall: I finally found my goddess’ Weibo! Hahaha! I am the first!]

[The Fall of the Phoenix Tree Leaves: The general played by this Little miss is so cool! Does Little miss need a girlfriend? The type who can sing and warm your bed?]

[The Butterfly’s Flight: She totally fits the image of the female general in my heart. She is too cool! I support this Little miss!]

[A Bamboo under the Autumn Moon: I really look forward to the next episode! Watching dramas is so tiring!]

“The Allure of the Phoenix Princess”became a hit. Although it was a web drama, it became the most popular drama at that time.

The actors in the drama also became popular, including Liu Manman.

It was really rare to see a drama bringing so many actors to fame.

Chuzheng’s fans increased from that pitiful few to a few million. In the end, it even broke the ten million fans record.

Chuzheng’s character was very neutral and did not have any romantic feelings for the male lead. Even if the drama plot required them to act together, sparks did not fly between them. In the end, she protected her country and even saved the female lead and so, her character was very likable.

Moreover, the character suited Chuzheng’s personality and hence, Chuzheng brought her character to life. As such, it was very normal for her to be popular

Even her silhouette which was previously captured on camera hit the top of the headlines again.

Her costume made it easier for them to recognize her.

Yet, while the drama was still hot among the audience, a piece of news suddenly surfaced online.

#Female general from The Allure of the Phoenix Princess is being kept#

Some audiences have already realized it when they saw the list of investors.

In the past, they would usually write the company’s name on the list of investors. Yet, this drama was an exception. The list of investors included a name.

That name was even the name of the actor who acted the second female lead.

The article even wrote about Chuzheng’s background. It mentioned that she did not have any ability and yet she could invest so much money. Previously, she even took on walk-on roles. If it was not because she was being kept, did she have to take on walk-on roles?

[Fall of Dusk: It should be fake. Little miss doesn’t seem to be this kind of person.]

[What’s wrong my lord: Can’t this world let us watch a drama peacefully? Why must they come up with all this nonsense? How annoying!]

[Winter Night: Female celebrities nowadays are not that pure anymore. As a public figure, shouldn’t she set a good example? It looks really bad on her to rely on her sugar daddy to become famous.]

[After Turning into a Centenarian: I won’t believe article reports that were not based on any evidence. Who knows, this article could be fabricated. Reporters nowadays like to write such nonsensical articles.]

The internet got into a huge debate and Chuzheng went onto Weibo to send a message.

[Gu Chuzheng V: I also would like to know which rich man could be so rich that he can be my sugar daddy. If you cannot find one, I can spend money to sponsor you a sugar daddy.]

Chuzheng had actually defended herself with such a sentence. This caught the netizens by surprise.

[The Clouds and the Autumn Waters: She’s so domineering! ]

[Chuzheng’s sweetie: Little miss, I believe you! You are definitely not that type of person!]

[Hayamasai: To be honest, Little miss is too cold. If I am rich, I will definitely like Little miss as a person but I won’t keep her.]

Nowadays, don’t all rich people keep a sweetie by their side to please themselves?

However, from the drama as well as from the bloopers, it could be seen that this Little miss was an ice princess. Who would be willing to spend money to keep such a cold person at home? Do they need free air-conditioning?

[Weeping sorrows: They don’t even have evidence yet they spread the news with every detail vividly described. How disgusting!]

[The Dancing Branches: If she didn’t do it, why would people even talk about it? Flies do not attack an intact egg.]

Chuzheng’s response gave her fans confidence.

‘You said that our Little miss is being kept?’

‘Okay then!’

‘Find the person who kept our Little miss!’

“President Gu, somebody must have paid someone to write that article, do I have to inform the public relations team?” Although Pei Yu was not Chuzheng’s manager, Chuzheng did not have a manager so he came to help her.

“No need.” She was not kept by anyone. These bunch of boring people would not be able to dig anything out.

Did she really have to hire a sugar daddy?

However, little did Chuzheng know, someone really did ‘spend money’ to ‘hire’ her a sugar daddy.
