Chapter 96: Chapter 96: What I Want Is to Slap Your Face on Your Turf (2nd update)
Translator: 549690339
Chen Xiaoyi wrote in his article, “Each of us once had grand ambitions, but under the grind of life, we eventually veered towards mediocrity.” Some people die at twenty but are not buried until eighty.
We are all ordinary people, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, the mistake lies in treating mediocrity as an asset and harboring resentment towards those who are not content with the ordinary. At first glance, “God Slayer” seems like an excellent fantasy movie.
The special effects and details within are impeccable.
Once again, Director Cao Zheng shocked everyone with his almost demonic talent.
But what I saw was not just that.
When Miss Fan stood atop the mountain, confronting the myriad gods alone and slowly spoke that line of dialogue, For the first time, I was moved to tears.
Indeed!
Why should you, in your lofty position, have the right to arbitrarily judge the merits and faults of others?
And when the giant dragon ascended, the entire movie theater gasped in amazement.
It wasn’t just because of the special effects but also due to its romance.
Indeed!
The giant dragon carries the hero to battle those aloof deities.
Isn’t that romantic?
Based solely on this concept, I’m not talking about anything else, but the domestic movies present here are all trash.
As for “War of the Gods,” I’ve seen it too—Miss Hua contributed her exquisite “staring” acting performance.
As for the rest, I have nothing to say.
Because it’s just another movie glorifying emperors and generals.
I like “God Slayer.”
Because it reminds me of my youth.
Back then, we roamed the city’s splendor in our white clothes, riding bicycles, rebellious and seen as problem children by adults.
But we had the heart of the pure and innocent.
In the end, I paid special attention to the screenwriter; in the screenwriter’s column, it was written as Mr. Xue.
Interesting.
You certainly didn’t disappoint me.
Chen Xiaoyi’s article captured the sentiments of most people with its vivid writing.
Therefore, a week after its release, the box office of “God Slayer” rose instead of fell.
And most of the viewers this time were middle-aged men with potbellies.
They might be mired in mundane lives, plodding along day by day.
But once they finished watching, their eyes were full of tears.
Indeed!
Who hasn’t been young?
And the heat of this movie has become a phenomenal spectacle.
Countless people were captivated by Fan Mengxue’s exquisite acting performance.
Especially her scene standing alone against the gods on the mountain, which became an unforgettable memory for many.
Fan Mengxue was affectionately called Miss God Slayer Sister!
Thus,
“God Slayer” made its comeback with the poise of a king, crushing “War of the Gods” underfoot with almost an overwhelming force.
It also slapped the faces of those so-called stars who once scorned and belittled it.
Xie Tianci’s face turned ashen as he read the comments online.
Suddenly, he smashed the screen with a punch.
Then he started pacing back and forth in the room.
Hua Ruyue sat on the sofa sobbing incessantly.
Her heart was filled with resentment at that moment.
Resentment towards Fan Mengxue, resentment towards Stephen, but she did not once reflect on her own faults.
“The Qin Family… haha, what a clever move!” Xie Tianci suddenly sneered.
“And to think, An Qing of the An Family has also gotten involved. What, do they think they can do something to the Xie Family with just one movie?”
Xie Tianci’s face gradually regained its arrogant expression.
It’s just a movie, after all.
He didn’t pay much attention to it.
But with the Qin Family and An Family shadows behind this movie, He had to be prepared.
However, Xie Tianci was not the least bit worried, because this was the provincial city.
On his own turf, who would dare to act recklessly?
Thinking of this, Xie Tianci couldn’t help but feel some relief.
But at that moment, in the hotel where Fan Mengxue was staying, someone else was questioning Xue An with shock.
“Mr. Xue, are you serious about this? That’s the Xie Family’s territory!”
The person who asked was Cao Zheng.
The cause of this was that Xue An was preparing to hold a celebration banquet.
This was to be expected.
After all, ‘God Slayer’ had achieved such brilliant success, it was natural to hold a celebration banquet.
But the place Xue An chose was the Lijing Grand Hotel in the provincial city.
Everyone in the provincial city knew that the Lijing Grand Hotel was the property of the second young master of the Xie Family.
For Xue An to hold a celebration banquet there was really puzzling.
So Cao Zheng asked this question.
Xue An replied with a smile upon hearing the question, “The Xie Family’s territory? No, you’re mistaken, it won’t be for long!”
Cao Zheng wanted to say something more but was pulled aside by Han Yao.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.
Mr. Xue… are you going to make a move?
Of course, Xue An would not let the Xie Family off just because his film had beaten theirs decisively.
Killing someone is quite an easy thing to do.
If Xue An wanted to, Xie Tianci and Hua Ruyue would have died many times over by now.
But it’s easy to kill a person, hard to kill their spirit.
Xue An wanted a completely merciless beating of his opponent.
You’re replacing the female lead, right?
Well then, I will just make my own movie, and then slap your face hard with ironclad facts.
This is the correct way to take revenge.
But now the goal has been achieved.
Therefore, people like Xie Tianci no longer have any value.
Ultimately, immortal cultivation comes down to one thing.
Protecting the ones you love, making your opponents go to hell.
So Xue An will not have any mercy. To him, the Xie Family is just a trifle.
If they are to be killed, so be it.
Moreover, choosing the Lijing Hotel for the celebration banquet was because Xue An felt that if he were going to slap someone’s face, was there anything better than doing it on their own turf?
With this thought in mind, a slight smile appeared on Xue An’s lips.
And Xiao Sha, who was playing with Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, shuddered suddenly upon seeing Xue An’s expression, then crouched down in fright.
It was the only one present that could sense the terror in Xue An’s smile.
As long as the master smiles like that, it definitely means someone is going to be unlucky, Xiao Sha thought to itself.
This time, the celebration banquet Xue An held was very grand.
Not only would the people from the crew come, but many others were also invited.
However, apart from those stars who would come to any celebration banquet when they heard about one, Fan Mengxue also sent out a few special invitations.
Wang Wenjian had been almost living online these days, exchanging viewing experiences with other film fans.
‘God Slayer’ had already become a masterpiece in the eyes of many.
Today was no exception, but as he was discussing, the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find a postman.
Strange, does anyone still write letters nowadays?
Wang Wenjian opened the envelope with suspicion and found a gilded invitation inside.
He opened it and was then petrified.
It was an invitation handwritten by Fan Mengxue herself.
She invited him to attend the celebration banquet as a representative of the fans the next day.
Wang Wenjian was trembling all over.
In truth, he had long passed the age of chasing after stars; his liking for Fan
Mengxue was only because of her elegant demeanor.
But at that moment, Wang Wenjian suddenly became devoted.
How many stars could remember their fans from the beginning after achieving such proud accomplishments?
Chen Xiaoyi felt the same way.
Because of the popularity of her article, she was successfully… fired by ‘Entertainment Weekly.’
Broadly speaking, these bosses still did not dare to offend the Xie Family.
And Chen Xiaoyi didn’t care. After watching the movie that day, she felt stuffy in her heart when she returned home, turned on the computer, and wrote the article almost without pausing.
And when Chen Xiaoyi received the invitation, she was also stunned, then gradually smiled.
Before her eyes appeared the image of the man at the press conference that day, with a calm expression and profound eyes.
Indeed…. you didn’t lie!
