Chapter 789

Golden Agent of the Adonis (109)

Chu Xiang shared news about a New Year film and a variety show. She could only pick up some rumors with her current network, but it was different for the company. With Manager Liang’s connections or other people’s networks, they would surely get more accurate information. That was the advantage of having a company as a backer – she didn’t need to run around by herself, as there would naturally be people who could take care of these things.

After the official announcement of Fang Zhenxuan’s endorsement further confirmed his commercial value, they joined the cast and started filming Plot Twist.

Although Fang Zhenxuan went into seclusion again for filming, fans and netizens could still see him on various platforms. In The Legend of Noble Consort Jing, the female lead would occasionally recall scenes with him, and whenever that happened, fans would edit and spread those clips within the circle.

Extreme Mode was also airing once a week, and the program team would usually buy trending topics for each episode. Due to Fang Zhenxuan’s impressive performance, he trended several times, gradually allowing everyone to get to know him as a lively and cheerful young man with a childlike innocence, yet also mature, intelligent, and emotionally intelligent.

He was playful and good at throwing and picking up jokes. In just one season, he surpassed several veteran MCs to become the best partner for the team captain, and he became the central figure of the show. He made the audience fully accept him and look forward to his presence in the next season.

Not long after Extreme Mode finished airing, the final episode of Love’s Dream Journey also aired. Fang Zhenxuan, as a helper, spent a day playing with four couples. In the show, they discussed their views on marriage, and each couple expressed their own perspective, mostly revolving around sweet expectations and a little bit of worry.

When Fang Zhenxuan was asked about it, he responded, “Isn’t it said that there are countless times in a marriage when you want to get a divorce? That’s why I don’t have any fantasies about marriage itself. I won’t get married just for the sake of getting married; that would be meaningless. But I have a beautiful vision of being with someone for a lifetime. I hope… we can trust each other wholeheartedly, and we can confidently entrust our backs to each other. No matter what the circumstances, we won’t leave or give up on each other, and instead love each other deeply. In my opinion, grand weddings, blessings from friends and family, or recognition from the world are not important. The most crucial thing is to find the right person. Once you have the right person, you can have a beautiful love.”

When the four couples heard his words, they all laughed, probably because they thought he was indeed like a child, having aspirations that were a bit detached from reality. In reality, was there any couple that could always stay happy together? Throughout a lifetime, there would always be bumps and conflicts. It was just about mutual tolerance and compromise. To be able to spend a lifetime together, it was not love that mattered the most.

However, Fang Zhenxuan’s aspirations in his words happened to align with the audience’s preferences, especially his expressions and gaze while speaking. They were so genuine that everyone could see that his statement was his genuine belief.

What was this called? It was called being willing to wait for the right one instead of settling for less. Wasn’t rare and difficult love the most precious? Who could be sure that such a love didn’t exist in the world? Who didn’t hope to one day meet the right person themselves? What they wanted was exactly the kind of love that Fang Zhenxuan described!

The unexpected views on relationships from a 22-year-old heartthrob sparked the audience’s curiosity and gained their approval. Everyone started leaving blessings and well-wishes for Fang Zhenxuan under his Weibo account, hoping that he would never compromise in the face of reality. They told him to take his time and to find the right person before entering into a relationship.

It was unknown whether any fans wanted him to delay dating, but for now, everyone’s blessings sounded pleasant. Unlike fans of other young heartthrobs who might say things like “I wish you never find a girlfriend.” Fang Zhenxuan’s fans haven’t uttered such words.

CP fans naturally felt that Fang Zhenxuan and Chu Xiang were a perfect example of mutual trust. However, because Fang Zhenxuan didn’t mention Chu Xiang this time, his statement couldn’t be considered a romantic hint. They didn’t say anything publicly; they simply appreciated it themselves and indulged in their fantasies within the dedicated fan communities, expressing their affection behind closed doors.

Chu Xiang’s TV series, The Legend of Noble Consort Jing, became a hit, with excellent production and no ridicule. It became the hottest costume drama of the year. Extreme Mode itself was a top-rated variety show, and Fang Zhenxuan’s outstanding performance on the show gained him a large number of fans. Even though Love’s Dream Journey had only aired two episodes, it highlighted Fang Zhenxuan’s high emotional intelligence and attracted numerous fans.

Fang Zhenxuan’s Weibo followers reached 15 million! He firmly grasped the high traffic of the summer season, making a high-profile and successful entry into the public’s eye. He left a deep impression and firmly established himself as a second-tier celebrity, becoming the fastest rising star in history.

The advertisements for Aichun Yogurt and ZX watches were launched successively, allowing a vast audience, including those who didn’t watch variety shows, follow dramas, or use Weibo, to notice Fang Zhenxuan. His nationwide recognition was quietly rising, and even during his retreat for filming, his ascent in the entertainment industry never slowed down.

The company quickly responded to Chu Xiang. The New Year’s film she inquired about hasn’t finalized the male lead yet, but Xia Ze’s side has been in contact with the crew. Hong Yao also planned to invest. Therefore, it was highly likely that the male lead for this film would be internally cast without public auditions.

There was another variety show where fathers would participate with their children. However, due to Fang Zhenxuan’s recent popularity, the company and production platform have agreed to let him participate in the show with Xinxin. It would be filmed and broadcasted concurrently, possibly with trips to different cities for each episode.

After discussing with Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan, they decided to sign up for the variety show. Fang Zhenxuan performed exceptionally well on the set of Plot Twist, and the director was especially satisfied with him. Since the company produced the series, they gave him a lot of freedom. Once he finishes his role in the drama, he can go out and shoot others without any scheduling conflicts.

The airing of the variety show was scheduled for autumn. After the summer break, Fang Zhenxuan would have another program lined up. In addition, The Quest for Immortality would be released during the National Day holiday, while Plot Twist would air during the winter vacation. That left only the New Year’s film.

Chu Xiang and the company went over the script and character settings in detail. Fang Zhenxuan said, “Let’s go snatch the good resources that Xia Ze wants!”
