Chapter 443: Song Xin’s Popularity

If Nie Li had known about this earlier, Mo Li would have had more advertisements under her name.
…
“Miss Song, tell us about you and Young Master Tang!”
“Miss Song, are you still in contact with Young Master Tang?”
“Miss Song, we heard that the first person you met after returning to the country is Young Master Tang.”
“Is that true?”
“Miss Song, the rumors say that you broke up with Young Master Tang, is that true?”
“Miss Song, why did you leave the country that year? Do you mind giving us an explanation?”
Because of Song Xin, the attention was immediately drawn away from the Witch of Sun and Moon to Song Xin. Song Xin said nothing but her manager shouted, “I’m sorry but excuse us. We will find a suitable time to answer your questions. Please excuse us!”
Song Xin’s bodyguards pushed back the reporters and escorted them out of the filming set.
“Hello, Director Peng!” Song Xin smiled as she saw the director. Director Peng had no smile for this crazy woman. If anything, his expression turned darker. She was clearly there to ruin his production.
Director Peng was about to explode when he remembered he had cooperated with Song Xin a few years ago when they were both overseas. At the time, Song Xin was still a newbie and many directors loved her. Her later development shocked everyone, she even made a name for herself on the international stage. Even though it was not a day for visitation, and Song Xin had dropped in unannounced, Director Peng had to give Song Xin face. Both professionally and privately, he had to respect Song Xin.
Director Peng did not say anything. He was not going to bow to her but he was not going to chase her away either. Soon Director Peng noticed Song Xin’s expression shifted as she turned to look at Mo Li. Director Peng turned too but realized Mo Li was just looking blankly down the distance.
“Song Xin, why have you visited us today?” Director Peng tried to make his tone as friendly as possible.
“Haha, Director Peng, we’re old friends already. I just returned to the country not too long ago and I’ve been meaning to come to see you. This morning, I met an old friend and she said you’re here so I came to see you. Even after so long, you still look so handsome and spirited!” Song Xin said gently and respectfully.
Since Song Xin gave him face, Director Peng had to give her face too. He coughed and smiled a small smile at Song Xin.
Song Xin was truly a master manipulator. With just a few words, she had made Director Peng forgive her. “I am still the same but you are already the best female actor! I’m surprised that you still remember me!”
Unlike her usual haughty self, Song Xin smiled humbly. “I got my start from taking part in your drama. Without you, I wouldn’t enjoy the status I have today. So you are my savior, how can I ever forget you? I have been so busy and never got the chance to return to the country. It was such a shame that we lost contact over the year but I never forgot what you have done for me. Without you, there will not be Song Xin today.”
When Song Xin left the country, she spent 1 or 2 years just wallowing about. She participated in awful projects. Her first good tv drama was directed by Director Peng. It put her on the map. The turning point in Song Xin’s life came when she took part in a Hollywood blockbuster. It was directed by a famous director and it was a big hit. It even caused a stir when it was introduced back in China.
Even though Song Xin was not the main character, she was the only Asian actor in the cast. She had at least 30 minutes of screen time and was important to the plot. Because of how success the movie was, Song Xin’s popularity rose overnight.
However, it was true that Song Xin got her start with Director Peng’s drama. After all, Director Peng’s drama made her known to the casting director at Hollywood.
Nie Li thought to herself. This Song Xin is impressive.Normally she wouldn’t even look others in the eye but now she is like a completely different person.
In her mind, Song Xin had always believed that she was talented. She would become a star even if no one was there to support and help her. Therefore, she did not suck up to others and she never learned to read other’s facial expression.
In the end, Song Xin was right. She was now at the peak of the industry. She never needed to beg others but others had to beg her!
Song Xin smiled as she went to greet the veteran actors on set. They had worked together before.
Even though Song Xin had a lot of scandals and everyone in the business knew that she was hard to service, they had to give her face due to her status. People had seen her slap her assistant, make unreasonable demands, and so on. Plus, there was also the consideration given to Elder Song.
