Chapter 421: Chapter 419 Cried_1

"How is it not possible? You’re underestimating Giant Star Entertainment too much. There must be significant power behind this company!" Mr. Cheng said resentfully.

"If it weren’t for your misleading advice, telling me that disaster movies would never make money, I wouldn’t have refused to invest in it. Now, look at what happened. I invested in your suggestion and ended up almost unable to afford a pair of underwear!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Cheng was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Although "Tsunami" hasn’t been released yet, anyone who isn’t blind can see that this movie is bound to be a hit!

Just with the special effects and Xia Ningxing’s stunning beauty, there’s no reason for it not to be successful!

Moreover, with disaster movies like this, sometimes, as long as the special effects are good, you’re halfway to success. The visual impact of special effects can make people subconsciously forget about the logic.

"Haha, Mr. Cheng, don’t forget you also thought disaster movies wouldn’t make money. Why are you blaming everything on me now?" Lv Shun was already infuriated and couldn’t stand it anymore after being blamed like this.

The two of them ended up fighting like dogs.

Meanwhile, Xia Ningxing was sitting in her office, looking at the dismal box office of "Love on the Island" and couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up.

"Lu, that was a brilliant move."

A single scandal can destroy a film.

And this time, he had exposed so many scandals from that film crew.

"Anyone who dares to bully Baby Xing, I won’t let off even one," Lu Tingli said as he hugged her, his tone very serious.

Xia Ningxing looked at his arms wrapped around her waist and couldn’t help but smile slightly at the corners of her lips.

Feeling cherished was truly wonderful. O(∩_∩)O~~

Then, Xia Ningxing added, "Next, it’s time for our ’Tsunami’ to make its entrance."

Lu Tingli nodded, looking at the date, "Ten more days."

In ten days, "Tsunami" would officially premiere in cinemas.

On that day, the Xia family booked an entire venue at the First Cinema in the Capital and invited Lu’s father, mother, and Old Mr. Lu to watch.

As the movie began, Xia Ningxing’s figure soon appeared on the screen.

"Xingxing is on screen!"

Old Mr. Lu suddenly shouted excitedly, clapping his hands.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xia and the other members of the Xia family couldn’t help but turn their heads toward him.

I mean, Bao’er is clearly our family’s child, when did she become part of the Lu family?

But since the people present were all adults, it wasn’t right to argue with an old man. However, Tuanzi was different; he puffed up his cheeks, feeling he could say anything given his young age:

"Sister is ours!"

"You old man, don’t even think about taking her away!"

Old Mr. Lu folded his arms and shot him a look, "After she gets married, she’ll be part of my family!"

"Hmph! Stinky old man!" Tuanzi couldn’t help but glower at him resentfully.

It hurts in my heart!

Sister will belong to someone else’s family in the future!

"Tuanzi, don’t be so rude to Old Mr. Lu," Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but pat his little head.

"Little brat, did you hear that? Xingxing said you’re not allowed to be so rude to me!" Seeing someone supporting him, Sir Lu triumphantly scolded him.

With a look of worldly sorrow, Tuanzi pouted his little mouth and sighed, "Women belong to their husbands’ family, women belong to their husbands’ family; the ancients did not deceive me!"

"Would you shut up?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but give him a white look and flicked his forehead.

Tuanzi sulked.

"Alright, let’s watch the movie," Xia Ningxing said, rubbing his little head.

After being petted, Tuanzi’s sulking mood disappeared, and he nodded eagerly, "Mmhm, watch the movie!"

As the movie was nearing its end, Lu Tingli suddenly moved closer to Xia Ningxing’s ear.

"Baby Xing, you performed really well."

His warm breath fell on her delicate and fair earlobe.

His voice was deep, magnetic, and so pleasing that it could make one’s ears pregnant.

"Of course!" Xia Ningxing was anything but modest as she lifted her chin, her face beaming. Then she whispered to him, "Before I was reborn, I was the youngest best actress in the history of our world!"

"I’ll give you thirty-two thumbs up," Lu Tingli racked his brain and finally came up with a trendy phrase from the future.

He was good at everything except being trendy; he had no interest in internet jargon or any of the popular stuff.

Looking at him using trendy phrases, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but cover her lips and snicker.

"Thanks for the thumbs up, Lu!"

"You’re welcome."

The two of them kept exchanging pleasantries, eventually unable to help but look at each other and laugh.

"Baby Xing, sorry, I lost control just now..." Lu Tingli’s thin lips approached her ear, apologizing in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.

In fact, it wasn’t a big deal, but him apologizing so solemnly like this actually made Xia Ningxing feel a little embarrassed, "It’s okay, it’s okay, just try not to kiss me in front of so many people next time."

Lu Tingli nodded, "Okay, next time, I’ll only kiss you more when there’s no one around."

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but twitch her lips, "..."

Such shamelessness!

"Oh no! Bao’er is about to be swept away by the tsunami!" Big brother suddenly shouted.

In an instant, everyone’s attention became intensely focused on the movie screen.

At that moment, in the movie, the female lead played by Xia Ningxing, trying to close the door of the safe haven to protect the people inside, was unfortunately swept away by the tsunami.

For this particular performance, the camera zoomed in on Xia Ningxing’s face, perfectly capturing the reactions one would have while being swept away by the tsunami. Coupled with the perfect special effects, it was convincing enough to make the audience believe she was really caught in the waves!

Lu Tingli’s brows deeply furrowed.

Mrs. Xia was even more exaggerated, crying out loud.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she wept profusely.

Xia Ningxing, who was watching the movie, was caught off guard and was startled, quickly passing her tissues while consoling, "Mom! Calm down! It’s just a movie!"

Xia Jiehao also helplessly said, "Yeah, it’s just a movie. It’s all make-believe and special effects. Isn’t our Bao’er sitting here safe and sound? What are you crying for?"

He wiped her tears with a look of helplessness.

"Cough cough cough... I can’t be blamed for this. Bao’er’s performance was too realistic, and the special effects were too convincing. It really took me by surprise," Mrs. Xia realized her overreaction and hastily wiped her tears, slightly embarrassed as she looked around.
