Golden Agent of the Adonis (153)
At present, the fan community understood one thing: the fans of the “Chu Family” fandom with its diverse attributes truly felt like a family. No matter which artist under Chu Xiang’s management encountered any issue, they all would unite and become a formidable force. After witnessing Xia Ze’s downfall, no one in the fandom wanted to mess with anyone associated with Chu Xiang anymore.
After the conflicts settled down, everyone’s focus shifted to the idol drama itself. This idol drama was truly enjoyable, especially with Xia Lingling’s portrayal of the supporting female lead, who was so lovable and cute that one would want a best friend like her. The chemistry between Xia Lingling’s character and her on-screen partner also captivated the viewers, even more than the chemistry between the male and female leads. By the end of the drama, everyone remembered her name.
After gaining popularity, Chu Xiang arranged for her to take on the leading role in a youth-oriented movie, where she portrayed a pure, gentle, and youthful college beauty. It perfectly matched her student-like charm. So, Xia Lingling joined another production and worked hard on the set.
While she focused on filming, her popularity continued to rise. The number of idol dramas considered good had been on the decline, and fans who enjoyed idol dramas left comments requesting Xia Lingling to appear in more dramas as the female lead. They hoped she could have dramas airing from the beginning to the end of the year.
At the same time, fans recalled something else: Fang Zhenxuan has never acted in an idol drama since his debut! They vaguely remember Chu Xiang mentioning that he would only film with a good script. At that time, Fang Zhenxuan was still a very new artist, and some people mocked her response to fans.
Now that Fang Zhenxuan was so popular, he could probably pick any idol drama script he wanted, right? But being a film star was different from being a TV star. Fang Zhenxuan had already won the Best Actor award. Would he still act in idol dramas? It felt like it would lower his status, right?
Fans were leaving comments and sending private messages to Chu Xiang, asking if there was a chance for Fang Zhenxuan to act in an idol drama in his lifetime. He was so young and handsome, it would be such a waste if he didn’t star in an idol drama, right? But would it be beneath him now to do so? They really wanted to see one, but they were also worried. What should they do?
When Chu Xiang found some time to read the private messages, she couldn’t help but laugh at the fans. They really cared about their idol’s career, perhaps even more than their own academic performance. She also noticed many CP fans saying they wanted her to act in an idol drama with Fang Zhenxuan. After all, with her excellent acting skills, she could save herself from feeling jealous, and CP fans were dying to see them together.
It was true that after winning the Best Actor award, it wouldn’t be suitable for Fang Zhenxuan to act in an idol drama. Chu Xiang had no plans to let him star in a series anymore. It was better for him to focus on carefully crafting two films per year, with some holidays for rest and personal growth.
However, seeing the fans’ anticipation for an idol drama, Chu Xiang pondered on it and realized it might not be completely off the table. It would be a step down to act in a typical idol drama, but a phenomenal idol drama was a different story. It could become a classic that people talked about even after twenty years. Although such idol dramas were rare, if it was a self-produced project, they could have control over all aspects and make sure there were no issues.
Chu Xiang quickly replied to a comment from a dedicated fan: [For an idol drama, wait for a suitable script. I’ll make one for you in my lifetime.]
Fans couldn’t believe that she would respond to them, considering how busy and popular she was. Their excitement levels went through the roof. What did she mean by “make one for you”? It was like she’s spoiling the fans! Chu Xiang was definitely treating idol dramas as a special gift for her fans. Whenever she surprised them with fan service, it was always a pleasant surprise. Now, they were filled with anticipation for this future idol drama, and so they left comments saying there was no rush. On the contrary, it must be well-prepared and enjoyable.
Some fans believed that acting in an idol drama wouldn’t be good for Fang Zhenxuan’s career, but other fans quickly listed how Chu Xiang had gradually helped boost Fang Zhenxuan’s popularity. When it came to their careers, nobody could interfere with her arrangements. The fans’ trust in her was unwavering. Instead, they started discussing what kind of idol drama Fang Zhenxuan might star in.
Everyone had high expectations for Chu Xiang, so naturally, their expectations for this idol drama were also extremely high. Furthermore, Chu Xiang’s response didn’t mention whether she would appear in it or not, which became a point of speculation. The discussions grew, and the topic of “#WhatKindOfIdolDramaWillChuXiangMakeForFangZhenxuan” unexpectedly trended, reaching the tenth spot in the hot search rankings.
Fang Zhenxuan was surprised when he saw it while at home. Holding a freshly cut fruit platter, he walked over to his girlfriend’s house next door and asked, puzzled, “Why am I trending even when I’m on vacation and not making any appearances? What did you do?”
Chu Xiang ate a cherry and casually replied, “I didn’t do anything. I just replied to a fan’s comment.”
“Really? Is it good to trend like this all the time? Won’t it annoy people?” Fang Zhenxuan was still not quite accustomed to how frequently he was trending. He felt like this time last year, he was still working odd jobs everywhere, and now it seemed like he was in the spotlight.
