Chapter 1423: Chapter 1175: The Comer Means No Good

The next day.

The movie was officially taken down from theaters.

Qin Continent.

Following director Zhang Lin’s success,

numerous local filmmakers from Qin Continent congratulated Xian Yu on various platforms.

“Congratulations to Teacher Admirable Fish!”

“The best movie from Qin Continent!”

“Thank you, Xian Yu, for your contribution to Qin Continent’s film industry.”

“Let’s celebrate the birth of Blue Star’s first movie to achieve 10 billion in box office revenue!”

“From today onward, Xian Yu will be the leader of Qin Continent’s film industry!”

“I hope to collaborate with Teacher Admirable Fish someday!”

“Teacher Admirable Fish has led Qin Continent’s film scene to rise up!”

Elation!

Shock!

The entire Qin Continent film industry, inside and out, was celebrating this joyous event!

After all, this was the best box office result in the history of Qin Continent’s cinema!

This success belonged to all of Qin Continent; many Qin people contributed to the success of “Kung Fu” at the box office!

…

Blue Star.

The global news was reporting everywhere!

Han Continent film news: [Sweeping the 10-billion box office, “Kung Fu” ends perfectly!]

Qi Continent cinema news: [Xian Yu’s movie “Kung Fu” claims the number one spot in Qin Continent’s film history box office!]

Chu Continent Pioneer Gazette: [Xian Yu, the leading figure of Qin Continent’s cinema?]

Yan Continent Film Weekly: [Non-action star actors can still make great action movies!]

Zhao Continent Star Club: [Statistics conclude “Kung Fu” is currently the highest-grossing film of the year!]

Wei Continent Literature and Art Gazette: [The perfect melding of music and film, Qin Continent’s “Kung Fu” leads this year’s global box office rankings!]

Middle State Art Weekly: [“Kung Fu” has made numerous Qin Continent actors stars!]

…

Yes.

The movie “Kung Fu” brought fame to many people.

The leading actor.

He Sheng has risen to fame!

Since “Flirting Scholar,” this actor has been closely associated with Xian Yu’s branding!

But now,

He Sheng has officially entered the ranks of world-class male actors, and his popularity is no longer confined to Qin Continent!

Recently,

many major film projects from other continents have begun to consciously approach He Sheng, including some prominent directors and screenwriters from Middle State, offering olive branches to this Qin Continent actor!

The leading actress.

Yu Xilu has also risen to fame!

She, too, has collaborated with Xian Yu since “Flirting Scholar.” Back then, her role as Qiuxiang amazed countless Qin Continent viewers.

And now,

Yu Xilu’s portrayal of the mute girl in “Kung Fu” has practically mesmerized every viewer on Blue Star who watched the film. Her beauty transcends the amount of screen time she had, and her popularity even surpasses Earth’s original version actress, Huang Shengyi!

Eye candy?

Even if she’s considered eye candy, Yu Xilu is the most beloved kind. Besides, her acting skills have significantly improved by now!

Furthermore,

many other people have achieved fame too!

For instance, the second male lead who partnered with He Sheng in the movie;

For instance, Jiang Bao, who had little screen time but delivered hilarious moments;

For instance, the two veteran actors who played the landlord husband and wife;

Or even the film’s director Yi Chenggong, who had a brief cameo in the movie.

“Praise Xian Yu!”

“Follow Fish Papa, and there will be meat to eat!”

“Haha, I am now officially an actor in a 10-billion box office movie!”

“Having acted in ‘Kung Fu,’ this credential alone guarantees I can land roles even in other continents!”

“When is Fish Papa making a new movie?”

“I’m willing to act for free.”

“Nonsense, entering Fish Papa’s crew means you shouldn’t even be thinking about paychecks.”

“Both He Sheng and Yu Xilu, the leading actor and actress, were paid below market value.”

…

At home.

To celebrate the success of “Kung Fu,” Mom made a table full of delicious dishes.

Lin Yuan and Big Yaoyao fought over the meat, while Antarctica occasionally caught a few bones to chew below the table.

Finally, Mom couldn’t take it anymore and offered each sibling a pair of chopsticks full of greens.

Their sister laughed so hard she could hardly contain herself.

After dinner,

Lin Yuan went back to his room to browse the web for a while.

Although “Kung Fu” was officially taken out of theaters, there were still many people discussing it online.

What baffled Lin Yuan was:

The liveliest discussions weren’t happening in Qin Continent.

Instead, Middle State showed even higher levels of interest.

To be specific, many Middle State people were expressing frustration:

“Damn it!”

“What happened to vengeance?”

“Why did Xian Yu counter us again?”

“Liu Xing is supposed to be an all-time great director here in Middle State, yet he fell apart so quickly. Our Middle State film industry’s effort to take down Xian Yu failed miserably again!”

“Actually, it’s not entirely Liu Xing’s fault.”

“Qin Continent cinema has always been behind my expectations, but who would have thought Xian Yu could make a movie that grossed 10 billion? This freak excels in music, which is one thing, but who knew he’d also be so damn good at filmmaking!”

“This hurts.”

“He crushed us in the Blue Songlympics with music, but now even with movies we can’t compete with him?”

“We thought we could recover with films.”

“Blame it on our cinema industry—no stronger-than-Liu Xing directors stepped up. While a 10-billion box office movie is unbeatable in Qin Continent, it’s not rare for Middle State to have films reach that benchmark!”

“It’s pointless to discuss that now.”

“Until Xian Yu’s next movie comes out, we won’t have a chance at revenge in films.”

…

Middle State’s feelings toward Xian Yu remain as complex as ever.

They admire him on one hand but can’t help but harbor hostility on the other.

The entire Middle State online community is split into two camps.

One camp doesn’t care about geographical divides—this group of Middle State people has become full-fledged fans of Xian Yu.

The other camp views Xian Yu as Middle State’s public enemy, and this camp’s numbers vastly outstrip the former.

There’s no helping it.

Middle State has led the world for far too long.

Pride has become ingrained in Middle State’s very blood.

Lin Yuan felt it would take him a long while yet to completely conquer Middle State.

Just then.

His phone suddenly rang.

As soon as Lin Yuan answered, he heard Jin Mu’s concerned voice over the line: “Have you seen the news? Lu Yang is publishing a new book!”

Lin Yuan asked, “Who is Lu Yang?”

Jin Mu chuckled wryly: “You’ve snatched away the title of Qin Continent’s number-one writer just a few days ago, and you’ve forgotten him already? He’s the one ranked just behind you on the writers’ leaderboard.”

“Oh, him!”

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered.

Lu Yang was the previous number-one writer of Qin Continent, but after the Harry Potter series concluded, Chu Kuang overtook him in rankings.

Now, Chu Kuang holds the title of Qin Continent’s number-one writer.

Jin Mu continued, “Breaking news: Lu Yang had previously announced his retirement, but no one saw this coming—he’s suddenly making a comeback. He’s already completed a new book and announced that it will be released at the end of next month.”

“Oh.”

“Take this seriously, will you? His comeback implies he’s not here for fun—he obviously intends to make a run at the rankings to reclaim his former title. Right now, you’re his primary competition for that spot.”

“Next month, huh?”

“What? Oh, yes, he’ll release it at the end of next…”

“I’m hanging up.”

“Do you need something?”

“Of course, I need to write a new book.”

Jin Mu froze in place.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had already hung up the phone and quickly opened a document on his computer, typing decisively on the keyboard:
