Chapter 797: New Rankings
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“In your eyes, I see possessiveness, possessiveness towards me.”
The Night Breeze was so cool that it was mixed with snowflakes, but it could not dispel the heat that was ignited by his words.
The boiling heat flowed into her ears and struck her heart. It was so hot that Yun Xiangxiang, who had burrowed into the bed, could not sleep well just thinking about it.
The song family had retained the custom of keeping a new year’s Eve vigil. Now That Song Mian was keeping a vigil with song chi, the father and son could chat all night long.
Yun Xiangxiang thought that she still had to film tomorrow, so she couldn’t accompany them. However, because of Song Mian’s teasing, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She put on her clothes and got up. She stood by the window and blew on the cold wind for a while. She replied to the person who had sent her blessings. After calming herself down, she fell asleep again.
In the morning, she was not in a good state of mind. Song Mian not only prepared a beautiful bowl of colorful glutinous rice balls for her, but also a refreshing medicinal porridge.
As usual, Yun Xiangxiang posted the glutinous rice balls on Weibo and sent her fans new year’s greetings.
After eating breakfast, Yun Xiangxiang was driven to the production team by Song Qian. As it was New Year, the staff had a hard time.
Yesterday, Yun Xiangxiang and Bo Chao had a discussion in the group. The two of them, as the lead actors, shared some red packets and gave them to the production team.
No matter what position they were in, including those who were present today, everyone had a share of the extras that belonged to their production team.
The money was the same, a few hundred yuan, just for luck.
Fang Nanyuan’s scenes had already been shot, and he could not visit on the first day of the New Year. He happened to be out of work, so he simply came back to the production team.
He even had their hotel’s big chef send over a sumptuous lunch, from the director to the extras, and everyone who saw it had a share.
After eating and drinking, he received a red packet, and that little bit of sorrow from wandering alone in a foreign land during the new year was washed away a lot.
Everyone became even more motivated. A few days later, the film was officially wrapped.
After it was wrapped, Yun Xiangxiang did not have any time to rest. It happened to be the opening day of Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s new year celebration. Although Yun Xiangxiang was a little tired, she was indeed in Beijing. Even if the plane left the country the next day, she was still there.
This year, Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s actor rankings were completely reshuffled. Xue Yu fell from first to fifth in an instant.
Li Man had reached the top, and Yun Xiangxiang was second only to her. Lu Huanong had been removed because of the tax evasion scandal.
Back then, the Hua Xiangrong incident had not removed Lu Huanong from this ranking.
This was a signal. Once Lu Huanong, who was still under investigation, was found guilty of tax evasion, she would not be so simple as being frozen.
In addition to paying back the taxes, she would also have to face termination by Huan Yu century entertainment, as well as compensation for the negative impact on Huan Yu century entertainment.
At the same time, she also had to face a huge amount of compensation for the endorsement that she accepted because of her popularity.
No matter how much money she had, it would not be enough for her to fill this hole.
The one who jumped the fastest was Liang Xinrong. Because of the hot broadcast of “Hero and beauty,”Liang Xinrong used her outstanding acting skills to portray a gentle and virtuous queen who was forced to play politics due to the war.
She could be considered to have become famous after one battle. She had been in Huan Yu century entertainment for two years, and it was not bad for her to have such an achievement after three years of debut.
The four main actors of ‘Hero and beauty’were all celebrities of Huan Yu century entertainment. The other three were not bad either, but they were not as limelight as Liang Xinrong.
“It’s the beginning of another year. Last year, there were some disturbances in Huan Yu century entertainment. I hope that all of you, as actors, can understand that your image is your foundation, and your virtue is your lifeline.
“No matter how great your achievements are, if your image is destroyed, your future as a star is destined to be bleak.
“No matter how high your popularity is, if your morals are at a disadvantage, your future is destined to be hopeless…”
He Zhen stood on the high platform and exhorted all the actors. After saying some sharp words, his tone changed and his attitude softened. “I’m already old, so I won’t provoke you. Next, it’s our annual benefit and the lucky draw.
“In order to have a good omen for the new year, I specially prepared a big gift this year.”
After he Zhen said that, his gaze fell on the tray that was covered with red silk and held by the etiquette lady. His special assistant personally opened it.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This was a piece of Crystal Clear Purple Jade. It was polished and smooth, but it was not inlaid. It had an irregular shape. It was about five to six centimeters long, one centimeter thick, and three to four centimeters wide.
This piece of jade could be sold for at least 20 to 30 million yuan. Yun Xiangxiang did not know how much it was.
She only knew that purple jade was very rare. This kind of jade that was not inlaid could be divided according to one’s preferences.
He Zhen was really willing to spend a lot of money. He estimated that the negative news brought by Xue Yu and Lu Huanong had a great impact on Huan Yu Century Entertainment.
He Zhen was planning to throw a big party and bring some new atmosphere to Huan Yu century entertainment.
Yun Xiangxiang was also a little tempted. She had never wanted to get one so badly.
This kind of thing was really priceless. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.
She thought about how song Mian always brought a string of black jadeite bracelets. She should change it occasionally.
This one should be able to grind out a few smaller beads to make a string.
Other than this purple jade, there were many other big prizes, such as five million cash!
Of course, there were also endorsements, promotion contracts, self-made drama leads, and so on..
“You really like that piece of jade?”Yun Xiangxiang’s gaze was really fervent. Li Man, who was standing beside her, could not help but notice it.
“I like it, don’t you like it?”Such a beautiful thing, no one would dislike it, right?
“I don’t like Jade. If it were a purple diamond, I would go crazy over it.”Li Man was indifferent. In her heart, diamonds were her true love. “If I draw it, I’ll give it to you.”
“I won’t take advantage of Sister Man. If you draw it and give it to me, I’ll think of a way to get you a purple diamond,”Yun Xiangxiang said in a low voice.
She wanted this purple jade too much. She silently estimated who would choose to sell it after they got it.
Most people were still below the third-tier. In this part of the world, money was the most practical thing.
Only the two big stars of Huan Yu Century Entertainment were not short of money. With this kind of thing in their hands, they might be able to give it to a noble one one day in exchange for more resources and convenience. However, with so many people, they would not be so unlucky.., they were chosen by the two of them.
“Do you have a way to get the Purple Diamond?”Li Man immediately became excited. She grabbed Yun Xiangxiang and said, “If I don’t get it, bring me to buy the Purple Diamond!”
The eagerness in Li Man’s eyes was even more intense than Yun Xiangxiang who had just seen the purple jade.
Li Man was not short of money, but she was short of channels. Purple Diamonds were too rare.
Once they appeared, it was not her turn to spend money. They became the property of a real socialite.
“Okay, okay, okay. No matter what the result is, I will help you ask around,”Yun Xiangxiang agreed immediately. She remembered that Bhamra had a few purple diamonds.
She would call him when she got home and ask him to transfer one of them. It should not be difficult.
He was a diamond buyer. He could sell anyone he wanted.. Yun Xiangxiang just needed to not take advantage of the price.
