Brother Dao Took The Entertainment Industry By Storm Fans Beg Me Not To Kill Anymore Chapter 148

[ … words ]

【Wahhh, Hidden Star Shine you have no heart!】

【Who’s crying like a dog? It’s me, yes, it’s me.】

【After watching the latest episode, I’m truly filled with emotion. It’s precisely because of our predecessors’ sacrifices that we have our beautiful lives today. Their sweat and blood built this prosperous era we live in—salute to them!】

【Salute!】

【So when is Meng Zetian going to die off?】

【When will Meng Zetian die? Please, Brother Xiao, don’t take these kinds of scripts in the future. Every time I see his face now, my hands itch to hit something.】

【+1, when watching Zhu Third Brother before, at least it was the face of Zhu Third Brother’s prototype, but this time it’s Xiao He’s own face, and watching it makes me genuinely want to punch someone.】

【Yes, yes, and Brother Xiao himself is quite handsome, but when playing villains his charm goes through the roof. While watching, I simultaneously love Brother Xiao’s looks and acting skills, yet feel full of guilt because of the plot—it makes me really uncomfortable.】

【Huh? What do you like about him? You even like this kind of scum? The domestic entertainment industry is really finished.】

【? Is hating Meng Zetian and liking Xiao He such conflicting things? Don’t be so ridiculous, sis.】

【Six six six, Xiao He just played a villain, why does it feel like netizens want to drag him out for execution? Really eye-opening.】

【Please separate the actor from the role! Don’t project what Meng Zetian did onto our Xiao He! Xiao He himself is just a recent college graduate. Although he looks quite cold on the outside, he’s actually super nice, treats fans and people around him very well, and has done good deeds multiple times that have been officially praised! Please don’t pin Meng Zetian’s crimes on Xiao He—he just has good acting skills, thank you.】

【I’m actually laughing, contemporary netizen IQ: liking Xiao He = liking villain Meng Zetian = approving of what Meng Zetian did = treason】

【Hahaha, the top student solves problems quickly, directly applying formulas for instant results.】

【These comments are killing me, netizens who can’t distinguish between drama and reality have really made it in life, better take some medicine quickly.】

【I get it, these are the same people who as kids tried to cut people with saws after watching cartoons, then grew up to report those same cartoons for corrupting children, right? You believe everything you see on TV? Leave your phone number? I’ll sell you health supplements in your old age.】

【Hahaha, the netizens’ sarcasm warms my heart, decisively going to follow Xiao He.】

【Oh right, that reminds me, I’m also going to follow Xiao He. Xiao He’s acting is really good, I think he has great potential, waiting to see his future career development.】

【Same, waiting.】

In the villa, looking at the online situation while eating dinner, Xiao He shrugged helplessly: “It seems I still need to keep a low profile recently, otherwise I might really get confronted in real life.”

Xiao Chen beside him suggested: “Maybe Brother Xiao could film some more funny short videos for marketing, to guide the public in separating the actor from the role.”

“No.”

Liu Rulan directly rejected Xiao Chen’s suggestion.

“Xiao He has already done marketing with his last short video, there’s no need to continue. Besides, the recent plot is indeed quite serious, and the subject matter is somewhat sensitive. We shouldn’t make a big show of doing other things now.”

They’ve already appropriately captured the heat and traffic they needed to catch. Any more than that could easily backfire.

Liu Rulan wouldn’t let Xiao He follow the same path to failure that others have taken.

Xiao Chen scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: “Right, Sister Liu is more thoughtful.”

Xiao He joined in with praise: “As expected of my Sister Liu.”

Liu Rulan had already successfully built immunity to these two’s flattery, crossing her arms as she said: “Rather than worrying about this, I think another matter is most important right now—”

She looked at Xiao He, her tone serious: “Director Yan just notified me to have you start learning basic combat skills in advance. So on top of the study classes you’ve already signed up for, you’ll have one more course. I’ve already contacted the martial arts school—it’s still the same Teacher Song from before. What do you think?”

Xiao He collapsed powerlessly onto the sofa, instantly losing all energy and means: “Ah, I’m really going to die—”

More studying, more certification exams, plus occasionally needing to coordinate with promotional activities and marketing…

Xiao He often wondered—didn’t he come to the entertainment industry to be a criminal?

How is the current situation so different from what he originally imagined!

Where’s the promised killing and mayhem? Why is it all studying!

He might be one of the most miserable “criminals” ever…

—Wait, if he thought about it differently, in today’s society, those who don’t progress get eliminated. Even criminals need to keep up with the times, follow society’s footsteps, continuously learn new knowledge and skills, so they can commit more perfect crimes next time.

So it’s not his problem—the times have changed, folks!

Liu Rulan paid no attention to Xiao He’s sighs, continuing to dutifully outline the upcoming schedule.

By the time she finished explaining all the arrangements, Xiao He was already lying quietly on the sofa, hands peacefully placed on his abdomen, eyes completely closed, even his breathing slowed down considerably.

Liu Rulan: “…So are you cosplaying a corpse?”

“……”

Xiao He didn’t respond.

Please let him continue quietly being a corpse, thank you.

Liu Rulan put her hands on her hips, having already seen through everything: “Originally there was one more thing, but since you don’t seem very interested, maybe we should just forget about it for now—”

Xiao Chen, who was organizing things, immediately cooperated with an “Eh?”: “But Sister Liu, I already brought the stuff over. If Brother Xiao doesn’t want to know now, should I take it back?”

Xiao He’s ears immediately perked up.

What thing? He didn’t see Xiao Chen bring anything over…

Unable to contain his curiosity, Xiao He sat up again, clearing his throat lightly: “Alright, what is it? I’ll reluctantly listen—”

Liu Rulan had anticipated this, taking the magazine Xiao Chen handed her and placing it in front of Xiao He: “Actually, I should have told you about this a few days ago, but you’ve been so busy recently that it got delayed until now…”

“The latest issue of CKOOL magazine is out?”

Xiao He glanced down at the magazine cover and immediately understood the general situation.

This was from when he had just returned to Shanghai from Haishi. At that time, Xiao He had been invited to be the interview guest for this issue of CKOOL magazine. After the shoot, he got busy with promotion for “Hidden Star Shine” and auditions for new dramas, so in the end, Xiao He had almost forgotten about the magazine.

Now, after about half a month, this issue had finally officially hit the market.

Xiao He picked up the magazine with mild surprise and examined it carefully.

The cover personality for this issue of CKOOL magazine wasn’t Xiao He, but another highly experienced award-winning actor from the industry with billions in box office revenue. After briefly skimming through this big shot’s life story and the magazine editor’s praise, Xiao He finally found the interview about himself in the latter part.

Actually, as an interview guest for a magazine, the questions asked are generally the standard ones—like preferences, studies, family, and some interesting stories from filming. Xiao He had additional questions about his thought process during his several rescue incidents… All these answers had been pre-arranged through communication between Sister Liu and the magazine. Xiao He didn’t even need to answer them personally—he just needed to go and take a few fashionably styled photos to be used as interspersed images, making it quite an easy task.
