Chapter 422: Chapter 420 Slander_1

Hearing Mrs. Xia saying so, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but cast a smile towards Xu Tian, "Director Xu, it seems our movie has succeeded."

An emotional film that can even bring the audience to tears, isn’t that what success looks like?

Director Xu’s mouth was so wide with a smile that he couldn’t close it, "Exactly!"

After the movie ended, Xia Ningxing said with a smile, "Get a good rest tonight. We’ll wait for the box office numbers tomorrow."

It wasn’t until they left the cinema that they realized not only Mrs. Xia had cried, but many others had as well.

"It’s good that Yueyue eventually came back."

Yueyue was the character played by Xia Ningxing in the movie.

"Right, at first, I really thought Yueyue had perished in the Tsunami. I didn’t expect that at the end of the movie, she would return, just without her legs."

"The male lead is so devoted. When Yueyue was swept away by the Tsunami and her fate was uncertain, he didn’t change his heart and kept searching for her. He also devoted his entire life to researching the Tsunami and finally waited for Yueyue to return, even though they had both grown old with white hair."

"The ending is so heartwarming, with the white-haired male lead pushing the white-haired female lead in a wheelchair along the seaside."

"Yes, I initially thought a disaster movie would be very sad, but I never expected this one to be all about love and righteousness. It instantly fills you with positive energy."

"Indeed, I was feeling very depressed, but this movie cured me right away!"

Hearing everyone’s praise, Xia Ningxing and her companions couldn’t be happier.

The feeling was akin to a mother hearing compliments about her child!

When everyone was heading home, Old Mr. Lu hurriedly made a phone call, "Zhao, go help boost the box office for ’Love on the Island’... How much support should we give... Not too much, just ten million should be fine, otherwise it wouldn’t look good if we got caught manipulating the numbers!"

"!!!"

Ten million wasn’t a lot?

The person on the other end said, "Sir Lu, ten million at the box office would obviously look like we’re artificially inflating it."

"What about eight million then?" Old Mr. Lu frowned.

"Still too much."

"Then how much?"

"One million."

"Isn’t that a bit too little? Sigh, but alright, one million it is."

Sir Lu had to painfully agree, in order to prevent his future granddaughter-in-law from being accused by the media of inflating her box office.

Despite the disbelief, the respectful voice still came through the phone, "Alright, Sir Lu."

Uncle Lu also picked up the phone, "Xu, notify everyone. Tell the doctors, nurses, and their friends and family to support ’Love on the Island.’ I’ll reimburse the movie tickets. Just deduct the money directly from my personal account."

Mrs. Xia and the Xia family were also frantically making calls.

That night, everyone was helping to boost the ticket sales for Xia Ningxing’s movie.

When the next day came.

The box office numbers were out, eight million!

It broke the record for the highest opening day box office at Star Shine.

Seeing the figures, everyone immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause.

"That’s amazing!"

"I can hardly believe it!"

The crowd cheered.

At the top, Xia Ningxing curled her lips in a smile, unsurprised by the box office numbers; she had pretty much guessed this would happen from the marketing phase.

Then she turned to Lu Fan, "Lu Fan, notify everyone in the company to go out for a meal and celebrate later. Everyone’s been working too hard lately; it’s time to relax."

"Okay," Lu Fan nodded.

After the meal, Ji Haichuan was stopped in the parking lot.

The person blocking him was Su Qifei.

"You’re feeling pretty smug now, aren’t you?" Envy flared in Su Qifei’s eyes.

He had fallen into obscurity because of the affair involving his illegitimate child, while this man had risen from an unknown nobody to a superstar, his popularity nearly matching that of A-list celebrities.

If he had known that this drama, which he had refused, would become a hit, he would never have turned it down in the first place.

And now, it has directly benefited that guy!

Seeing his fit of pique, Ji Haichuan’s handsome face revealed a hint of a smile and he nodded directly, "Indeed, quite proud of it."

Su Qifei almost vomited blood and questioned again, "The revelation that I was born of a mistress, it must have been done by your company, right?"

Ji Haichuan’s expression was very calm, and he asked lightly, "Does it matter whether it was done by our company or not? You were indeed born of a mistress, isn’t it normal for that to be exposed?"

"Shut up!" Su Qifei’s sore spot was hit, and he swung his fist to punch him.

But before his fist could land, it was kicked away by Xia Ningxing.

"Daring to bully someone from Giant Star Entertainment, you’ve got some nerve!"

Xia Ningxing glanced at him coldly, then signaled to the stunned Ji Haichuan, "What are you standing around for, let’s go."

"Oh..."

Only then did Ji Haichuan come to his senses, hurriedly following and looking at her with secret amazement.

Her martial skills were too impressive!

At the same time, his gaze couldn’t help but soften.

He had just been saved by a damsel in distress, oh no, the damsel had saved the hero!

But the two who were leaving didn’t notice a camera flash behind them.

These days, Lv Shun had been having people watch Xia Ningxing and Lv Shun, hoping to dig up some dirt on her, then use it to smear "Tsunami" and make it flop as well.

Fortunately, hard work always pays off; he had indeed uncovered a lot of things over these days.

He refused to believe he couldn’t make "Tsunami" flop!

Lv Shun couldn’t help but curl his lips in satisfaction.

Three days later, the blockbuster film "Tsunami" also had a scandal erupt, just like "Love on the Island."

[Pictures don’t lie, Xia Ningxing and Ji Haichuan acting intimately, suspected of dating!]

[Not only that, but Xia Ningxing is also suspected to be kept by the CEO of Giant Star Entertainment!]

[Several former trainees at Giant Star Entertainment revealed that they were fired simply for talking behind Xia Ningxing’s back and they also claimed to have witnessed Xia Ningxing engaging in inappropriate activities with the CEO of Giant Star in the office.]

"Good heavens, is Xia Ningxing two-timing, kept by someone and keeping a young hunk on the side?"

"Thrilling! Thrilling! My nosebleed is about to drop!"

"This girl knows how to play!"

This news instantly became the talk of the town.

In the conference room, after seeing these news, Xia Ningxing spat out her tea.

"I’m being kept by the boss of Giant Star Entertainment?"

"And doing that sort of thing with the Giant Star boss?"

"Ji Haichuan is my little lover? I’m putting a green hat on Giant Star Entertainment’s boss?"

Nonsense!

What a bunch of nonsense!

Xia Ningxing held her forehead, nothing short of admiring the wild imaginations these people had.

A perfect case of making something out of nothing!

Hearing the words "little lover," Ji Haichuan’s face immediately reddened, he took a quick glance at Xia Ningxing and then quickly looked away.

"I have a feeling that this whole situation was definitely cooked up by Lv Shun!" Xu Tian said, furrowing his brows, wishing he could strangle Lv Shun to death.

"Our box office numbers have also started to plummet significantly."

Once a scandal broke out involving the protagonists, even if the production was of high quality, it would still face boycotts.

"We don’t have to worry about fabrications, Lu Fan contact the press, we will hold a press conference and I will personally set the record straight!" Xia Ningxing said, her lips curling into a smile.

Lu Fan nodded.

The news of Giant Star Entertainment holding a press conference caused a big stir, and countless reporters arrived that afternoon.
