The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 140 Movies and television are different.

"Xu Yuan can act in movies? He only has a few TV drama credits, how can he act in movies?"

"Honestly, the old man supported Xu Yuan during his most difficult time, which was really loyal. But a movie is a movie, and it's different from a TV series!"

"Yes, TV dramas can be a bit more 'floppy,' but movies can't. A single glance or gesture can carry a deeper meaning."

"It's difficult for actors in TV dramas to master these skills; they already have their own established performance habits."

"I don't think so. Xu Yuan has always made a name for himself through his acting skills. I actually think movies suit him better."

Netizens are discussing it extensively, with all sorts of opinions.

Overall, however, the response to Xu Yuan's statement was much milder.

Unlike before, when they would be attacked and ridiculed by the entire internet at the drop of a hat.

After all, everyone had wronged Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan's relationship before, and their current attitude is one form of compensation.

However, no matter what they say, the person involved doesn't really care.

Or rather, they've always been indifferent.

Xu Yuan was still on the set of "Mr. Six," doing whatever he was doing.

At noon, Xu Yuan has a habit of taking a lunch break on set.

But now he stood behind his small room, frowning.

There are people inside!

There were some dilapidated little rooms on set, which were for Xu Yuan's use.

He didn't have a van, and the production crew didn't provide him with one either, after all, he's not Director Feng, and his status isn't high enough.

"I'm not going. That person isn't a good person."

"Qinqin, you're not a teenager or a young girl anymore. Without a sugar daddy backing you, how will you get lead roles? The film industry is so competitive now, it's not like it used to be!"

"Then I'll just stop acting in movies. I've already earned enough money."

"The entertainment industry isn't that simple. If you want to make a comeback, you have to accept these rules. Qinqin, this world is different now!"

Silence fell over the room.

It was Xu Qin talking on the phone with her agent.

Someone invited Xu Qin to dinner, but Xu Qin didn't want to go.

In the past, Xu Qin could have simply refused to go; she had the means to do so, both in terms of family background and personal status.

But now, she's forty years old, and she has no more resources!

Moreover, in the entertainment industry dominated by capital, the power of financial backers is growing, and fewer and fewer actors, especially actresses, can remain untainted. Xu Qin is clearly in the process of being corrupted by capital.

However, she is still putting up a stubborn resistance.

But she has never been a staunch believer. Her princess-like temperament, innocent and adorable, also means she is easily fooled, a potential sign of Stockholm syndrome.

Xu Yuan didn't have any special feelings for Xu Qin, but... that was his room.

squeak!

Xu Yuan pushed open the door.

The call in the room abruptly ended.

"I'm going to sleep," Xu Yuan said, looking at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin blushed, unsure of what to do.

Did the man in front of me hear everything?

Many people say that Xu Qin has a princess complex, but that's not true. She used to live like a princess, and it's just her habit, not a disease.

At this moment, she had absolutely no idea how to deal with the situation.

Is Xu Yuan going to sleep?

Why say this to yourself?

Does he also want that version of himself?

"This is my room." Xu Yuan knew that Xu Qin had misunderstood and was about to explain when a shocked voice suddenly came from the phone.

"You're in another man's room? What are you doing? Xu Qin, don't you know your situation? Without a sugar daddy, your acting career is over!" the manager yelled frantically on the other end of the phone. "Haven't you been ruined enough by your love life?"

The agent was extremely anxious.

Xu Qin is a typical woman; she doesn't object to relying on men, and even believes that women should depend on men for their existence.

Many chauvinists especially like women with her personality.

In her youth, she was just like Meng Xiaoxuan is now, with a huge following and a status comparable to a superstar.

But for the sake of her relationship, she chose to retire.

He only managed to make his comeback by getting the role in "Mr. Six" thanks to connections with old friends.

All things considered, I'm barely a veteran first-tier player now.

She must be facing financial difficulties right now, otherwise her agent wouldn't be pushing her so hard.

So, is this older woman preparing to become independent?

She no longer intends to rely on the support of others and wants to survive in this society through her own efforts.

It's encouraging that at forty, she finally attempted to do what normal people do at twenty.

She finally decided that, at an age when she still retained her charm, she should begin to mature.

This change is a good thing.

"Hello!"

Xu Yuan snatched the phone from Xu Qin's hand and said, "Tonight, I have a dinner party with Mr. Zhang from Qianda and Mr. Ma from Alibaba. I'll be bringing Xu Qin along. If you don't have anything else to do, don't disturb my rest."

Beep!

Before the other end could speak, Xu Yuan hung up the phone.

Then he glanced at Xu Qin and gestured towards the door with his lip.

Xu Qin subconsciously walked over and closed the door; she was used to it.

Xu Yuan remained silent.

He shook his head and said, "I'm going to take a nap."

Xu Qin then realized what was happening and blushed.

What was I thinking just now? Xu Yuan told me to leave, not to close the door and do anything else.

boom!

Xu Qin stormed out and fled.

When the two met again in the afternoon, Xu Qin was extremely awkward.

Xu Yuan, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

For some reason, two people who were originally unrelated became different after noon that day.

Xu Qin kept glancing at Xu Yuan furtively, like a young girl experiencing her first love; she seemed to have returned to the age of eighteen.

This is completely inconsistent with her actual age.

Many people online dislike Xu Qin, finding her overly pretentious. But actually, if you think of Xu Qin as seventeen or eighteen instead of forty, it doesn't seem out of place at all.

There is a type of woman who grows up under constant care and love, so much so that no matter how old she is, her mental age is only that of a teenager or a young girl.

Xu Qin is like that.

Xu Yuan shook his head inwardly, determined not to let Xiao Xuan become like that.

A girl's heart is lovely, but if she encounters the wrong person, it can lead to a tragic situation.

……

After filming the afternoon's scenes, the crew went home.

At that moment, a slightly chubby woman with short hair, who looked to be no more than thirty years old but was clearly a strong career woman, rushed over.

Her name is Peng Juan, and she is Xu Qin's agent. She is a prominent figure in the agent circle, with a status in mainland China similar to that of Hong Xilin in Hong Kong and Taiwan, both ranking among the top twenty in the industry.

Xu Qin's successful comeback this time is inseparable from her efforts.

Peng Juan first found Xu Qin, then pulled Xu Qin and rushed towards Xu Yuan.

"Who do you think you are? You're just a second-tier celebrity. Do you even know how important tonight's dinner is to Xu Qin?!" Peng Juan immediately launched into a tirade against Xu Yuan. "Don't waste your time, and don't waste Xu Qin's time. She has a good temper, but that doesn't mean she's easy to bully!"

Xu Yuan frowned.

Has my reputation really gotten this bad?

Peng Juan's attitude seems to be a bit of an overreaction.

Xu Yuan had no idea that from the moment Qi Wei, Li Yuan, and others went on a crazy campaign to support him, he had already become a deadly poison in the eyes of all female celebrity agents!

What a terrible scumbag!

He's a womanizer, and the best part is that he gets female celebrities to blindly support him!

This guy is a devil!
