Chapter 349 Countryside
Chapter 349 Countryside
Kenting.
After Zhuang Muxi became famous, she persuaded her parents to quit their jobs and helped them rent a large piece of farmland in the New Territories for a long time, investing in it to develop it into a tourist farm.
I don't want to be rich, I just want to find something to do to earn enough to cover my daily expenses.
It was only early February, and the tourist farm was not busy at this time of year. Zhuang Muxi herself had not yet started school, so she returned to her hometown and stayed there until after the Lantern Festival.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
One of her mother's close friends came to visit Zhuang Muxi's grandparents. While they were basking in the sun and chatting, they talked about their mutual friends.
Her mother's best friend was beaming with joy at this moment, and lowered her voice and said:
"I remember that Axia and you used to have a pretty good relationship. You often went to school together. Did you know that her husband had been working on a ship for a few years and had become addicted to alcohol? When he was drunk, he had a bad temper and would beat Axia at any time?"
Mother Zhuang asked in surprise:
"Really? Then why should they stay together? They don't have any children anyway. They can get divorced before they are 45 and still have a chance to find another one."
Her best friend just gave her a weird look and vaguely reminded her:
"I also tried to persuade Axia, but she actually told me that she wasn't beaten often and that she had forgiven her husband. As for why she didn't divorce, there was obviously a reason. Let me remind you, it has nothing to do with money."
Mrs. Zhuang suddenly understood and asked in surprise, "Is he particularly good at that?"
Her best friend nodded her head rapidly and suddenly sighed. It was obvious that she was thinking of her own husband and felt a little lost.
Zhuang Muxi was reading a magazine nearby.
She didn't want to understand these things, but after listening to them she immediately understood. After all, she was not as innocent as before.
Suddenly thinking of Fan Wumian, Zhuang Muxi seriously reflected on herself and considered whether there were any other reasons for her decision to maintain an underground relationship with him.
The next second, I came to the accurate conclusion that it was indeed true.
They are particularly harmonious in some aspects, and Fan Wumian is not only handsome but also has a very good personality, which often makes her subconsciously ignore Zuo Ziyan's existence.
Even though I occasionally felt that it was not suitable, I never considered breaking up, and it has continued like this until now.
But Zhuang Muxi still found it hard to understand why someone would choose to endure a beating in silence just because of his bright spots in that aspect.
When I think about it, I just find it extremely magical.
Her mother's best friend was particularly understanding and continued:
"There are gains and losses. My husband works hard, treats our children very well, and often takes me out to relax. But in fact, at home, he and I have been separated for four or five years. It happens that he often works night shifts and never rests in the same bed with me."
Talking about this topic, Zhuang's mother was full of energy and couldn't wait to ask: "Whose problem is it? You or him?"
". Probably both. When you reach a certain age, the relationship naturally fades. For a while I even suspected that he had someone else outside, but later I found out that many couples are like this."
"That's really hard to solve. It's useless to go to the doctor. I can handle it here."
"."
When women get together, they dare to talk about anything, and their topics are much more obscene than men.
Zhuang Muxi really couldn't bear to listen to what her mother said, so she pretended to look at her phone, then got up and left silently, riding her bike to take a walk on the beach.
Because he is a celebrity, the security on the island is more complicated.
She returned to her hometown in the countryside of Kenting to visit her elders, and her assistant and a female bodyguard also followed her.
My good friend from high school had left the company long ago, and the new assistant was a girl from Guangzhou named Min, who graduated from Zhongshan University.
We met several buses on the way with many tourists standing next to them. From their accents, we knew they were tour groups from the mainland.
Assistant Min chatted:
"There are so many tourists coming here. I have met several groups in the past few days. They all buy pineapple cakes, sugar apples, mangoes and the like."
Zhuang Muxi pushed his bicycle and said with a smile, "Yes, there weren't so many homestays and food stalls before. After the number of tourists increased, business became better. You have to wait in line for a long time to buy a serving of fried capelin."
Assistant Min continued:
"I'm worried that I won't be able to book a flight on short notice. After the Spring Festival is over, many tourists will buy tickets to go back, but you still have to go back to Yanjing to study."
"It seems that it is not suitable for me to continue to practice the piano. I guess I will no longer have a related career. I can only play it as a hobby."
Zhuang Muxi studied piano at the Central Conservatory of Music, and this skill was indeed not very useful, so she said:
"When I get back, I want to talk to my counselor about switching to singing. I don't have to completely change my major, I just need to adjust some of my class schedules."
Just like the teachers in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, they thought there was nothing left to teach Fan Wumian.
The same goes for Zhuang Muxi. Many teachers in her classes mainly focus on theory, and they are not necessarily better than her when it comes to actually performing on stage and getting scored by the judges.
There aren't many majors that interest her at CAFA. It seems that only singing is a major that can be of some help to an artist's career. She can perform on stage and record simple albums. Most importantly, she can find more common topics with Fan Wumian.
Hear the words.
Assistant Min told:
"Okay, I'll call the company and ask someone to help you arrange it. In fact, I've long discovered that others don't care how good you are at playing the piano. They only talk about how beautiful you are and how sexy your body is. Other actors will also be busy releasing albums. When the time comes, you can ask Mr. Fan for a few songs, and he will definitely find time to write them for you."
Zhuang Muxi smiled and said:
"He used to live next door to me and would often sing in his bedroom. When he was recording 'Learn to Meow', he wanted me to help him, but I was too nervous and couldn't sing the way I wanted."
Assistant Min smiled:
"This is too lucky. Now other companies may not be able to invite Mr. Fan to sing even if they spend 100 million. In ancient times, your situation would be considered as the prince's companion. Your position in the company is very stable. If you want to be the leading actress of "My Love from the Star", you probably have a chance to discuss it with Mr. Fan."
Zhuang Muxi also felt that if she asked, there should be no problem, but she couldn't act like a spoiled brat and ask for benefits, so she just replied:
"I was not asked to act. Maybe the role is not suitable for me. A Quiet Place 2 and The Lonely and Great God have not been released yet. They can't give all the good opportunities to me. Other people signed by the company will complain. He has always been good at choosing the right actors for the script."
Being a star does not necessarily mean being good just because you play many roles.
Some actors hone their skills for years and still maintain a stable status.
The resources that Zhuang Muxi obtained were all top-notch, and the entire plot of "A Quiet Place 2" mainly revolved around her.
Fan Wumian once talked to her and said that there was no need to work too hard and that she just needed to keep up the pace of taking on one or two big productions a year, and the rest of the money could be earned from advertising endorsements and high-quality commercial performance opportunities.
Before the New Year, Zhuang Muxi went to the Baidu headquarters to attend the annual meeting of the Baidu search engine company. She spoke on the stage, acted as a guest host and presented several awards. She earned 80 yuan in two hours.
Penguin Group also asked her to endorse a game and gave her stocks equivalent to 400 million RMB, all of which were arranged by Fan Wumian.
The road has been paved long ago, and Zhuang Muxi doesn't need to worry about anything. She can turn to learning singing to find a new hobby for herself to avoid being too bored during school.
I used to practice piano, and my goal was to go to college and participate in international competitions, but now I have no direction at all.
This is Fan Wumian's side.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, he sat in front of the TV watching shows.
It’s a headache to go to a party and perform on stage by yourself, but it’s stress-free to watch others perform.
The student version of "Half Life of Snow" ranked sixth. As a temporarily prepared program, the performance was pretty good. It was rehearsed for less than two weeks, and the performance started a cappella before the accompaniment was written.
Jane Zhang was only responsible for the lead singing tonight, and she deliberately lowered the pitch to coordinate with the forty or fifty elementary school students standing behind her.
This internet-famous song, which was adapted by someone, is not suitable for inclusion in a formal personal album, but it is particularly suitable for performance at the Lantern Festival celebration and can be directly used as a school song.
After being busy for more than two weeks, Jane Zhang had no time to go home for the New Year and only sang on stage for more than three minutes.
The ratings of the Lantern Festival celebrations were also very high, and this opportunity to show her face was particularly rare. Her first solo album had been put into mass production in a closed factory since the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, with a planned production of 150 million copies.
From the numbers, we can see that Fan Wumian is very confident about this album "Yu Xi Tan".
