Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Not everyone who comes out of a talent show is like Xie Xingyan, able to climb to the next level through their own work.

Of the seven members of the Big Dipper, Ling Wushuang became the manager, Gu Zhoubai was held hostage, Xu Yanqing and Qin Yushan became variety show personalities, Kong Sui was stuck in the niche rap scene and found it difficult to break through for the time being, and Zhou Lehui was always favored by the company, but was also overshadowed by Xie Xingyan.

In the past two years, Xie Xingyan is the only artist from Beidou who has risen to the ranks of top-tier celebrities.

With his second original song, "Charming Danger," he gained over 10 million fans by the end of October this year.

"Charming Danger" missed the Silver Lyrics Award in August (too short a time) and is not yet good enough for the Golden Melody Award in October (not famous enough), but it has won many awards at the Music Billboard Awards, the China Record Corporation Music Awards, the Video Platform Entertainment Awards, and the Music Platform Original Song Awards.

On October 26th, Xie Xingyan celebrated her birthday, turning 19 years old by Western reckoning and turning 20 in two months by Chinese reckoning.

That day, he received gifts from his friends.

Xie Xingyan opened one of the gifts and sat down in the gift package with an air of nonchalance, holding a pile of gold stars in her hands—bright, yellow, and expensive stars.

Beside her crossed legs was an open glass jar, half a meter tall and as wide as a hand, filled with gold.

One netizen exclaimed in shock: "Gold! It's real gold! How mysterious! This is the birthday present I wanted! I've been wasting my birthdays all these years!"

Who doesn't like gold?

Xie Xingyan took a photo of the scene.

In the photo, he is wearing light pajamas, almost without makeup, with a slight smile on his lips, and looks to be in great shape.

[Xie Xingyan: This year is almost over, and I'm so happy to have met you. The connection between people really is something that can't be too bad (photo)]

Xie Xingyan didn't tag anyone, but the "you" in her words has left everyone guessing.

Because there hadn't been a collision with celestial bodies for over a month, fans hadn't speculated in that direction.

[This must refer to Zhou Lehui, right? I love seeing Sweet Bean and Cold Bean together! Their face-to-face photos are so cute! You know, Xing really dislikes taking selfies! They're spoiling Huihui so much, it's like a dream come true!]

Why can't it be our Kong Sui? Earlier this year, Kong Sui called Xie Xingyan on a show, asking him to write a song for him, and Xie Xingyan agreed on the spot. Last month, Xie Xingyan even went on a rap show to support Kong Sui, and the two have actually started collaborating on songwriting! Speaking of which, in the world of Beidou, only Xing and Sui can really collaborate on lyrics and composition, right?

[He's definitely a new friend! I bet a spicy snack that it's Wen Qiyue, whom I met on "The Actor Training Class"! Speaking of which, when Xing went to participate in an acting-related variety show, I thought it was Huan Cai forcing him, but I didn't expect he really has a heart for acting! If it weren't for the numerous small awards he won for "Charming Danger," people would definitely be saying Xing is switching careers!]

The "Actor Training Class" was recorded and broadcast smoothly without Jiangxi Heng noticing, and Xie Xingyan, who had become a singer, was invited to participate.

This program is under Song Zhiyue's management, so when Xie Xingyan said he wanted to come and experience the process of actors filming, Song Zhiyue only thought for a second before agreeing.

Why refuse?

A rising star in the music industry, crossing over to participate in an acting program, will only bring viewership to that program.

This episode was filmed over seven days. Xie Xingyan was guided by veteran actors to read the script, understand the character, and form a team. Then, he acted out a scene with a new actor, Wen Qiyue, where brothers turned against each other. That's how the two met.

To be honest, Wen Qiyue's name was mentioned quite a lot in the comments section.

Others may not know, but Xie Xingyan knows very well.

He's not the type to make friends after just one collaboration.

One is a famous singer, and the other is an amateur who has no works yet. There is only one possibility that Wen Qiyue's name is mentioned repeatedly: the other party has hired online trolls to stir up trouble in the comments section.

Xie Xingyan's eyes darkened, and he was about to type something in reply.

I saw a comment from an ID named "4399赛高" that was pushed to the top three.

[I think you're all wrong! Xingbao doesn't like taking pictures, but he has the most photos with Heng! Heng was the one who initially brought Xingbao into the industry with his songwriting abilities. What is Kong Sui compared to that? As a singer, why would Xingbao enter the entertainment industry when he had just surpassed 100 million fans? Because Heng is there for him in the entertainment industry!]

[This is terrifying to think about!]

[The Great Detective!]

[We're all CP fans, we're hopeless]

Xie Xingyan couldn't help but laugh as he watched the replies on this floor grow higher and higher with each refresh.

This thread has gained a notable reply.

[Jiangxi Heng: Happy Birthday]

Xie Xingyan was taken aback.

Netizens were stunned.

The fans were furious.

【Heng, you posted in the wrong place! How can you post a nested thread?! What's the difference between this and liking the original poster?】

[Um...it's possible that Heng wanted to post a comment but accidentally clicked on the top-rated comment, and then it turned into a series of replies?]

Rounding down, that must be the gravitational interaction between stars!

[Haha, I love Jiangxi Heng's generous attitude! I'm really curious if he received any of those gifts?]

Yes, I have.

Xie Xingyan murmured to herself, then looked down at the gold star that had been put back into the jar. A card was tied to the mouth of the jar, and there were familiar words on the card.

Every grain of gold comes from a fragment of a star deep in the universe, and so do you.

Xie Xingyan's name was chosen by himself.

When he joined Solano, his agent told him that his original name was too ordinary and that he needed a nice-sounding name with auspicious connotations.

He looked up at the stars in the sky, then looked down at the scattered stones at his feet.

"Let's call it Xingyan, meaning stars and stubborn rocks."

Others hoped he would become a precious and brilliant star, but Xie Xingyan always felt that he was just a stubborn rock that could be found anywhere.

But Jiangxi Heng told him, "The interior of a star is also full of scattered dust and pebbles, but in the center of the pebbles, there may be pure gold refined by fire."

Xie Xingyan can be stone or gold.

The gift that Jiangxi Heng gave him was telling him this.

Xie Xingyan couldn't resist replying in the nested chat: 【Thanks, you too】

You are also the stone that fills mountains and calms seas in my eyes, the star that hangs high in the sky and will never fall.

The fans exploded for the second time.

Netizens were scratching their heads in frustration.

[What are you? I've scrolled to the bottom of the page, but I haven't seen anything else. What kind of riddle are they playing?]

Straight male hater: [Isn't this obvious? Xie Xingyan's birthday is October 10.26th, and Jiangxi Heng's birthday is December 12.24th. It's clearly wishing him a happy birthday in advance!]

Netizens were shocked: [What? Wishing you a happy birthday two months early? That's way too early!]

This hater is the only one who's truly sober amidst the chaos: [Didn't he see Xie Xingyan's first Weibo post? "The year is almost over!" There are still several months left in the year. He's treating time like it's not even a second. What's two months?]
