Chapter 136 Transmigrating and Encountering the "Gossip System" (Online 22)
After the show ended, Liu Yuxi and Jin Chenxu added each other's contact information, and all of them gained fans through the show, which also improved their status as celebrities.
With the revenue sharing from the show's advertising, Liu Yuxi's studio had money, so she started writing scripts and producing TV dramas. For her first project, she chose a low-budget suspense detective film, in which she played the female lead, a police officer.
This role earned her the "Best Actress" award that year, propelling her into the ranks of top-tier actresses. After that, she mostly wrote her own scripts and collaborated with familiar entertainment companies, playing the lead or second lead roles.
Other companies have some big productions, and if they don't have suitable lead actresses in their own productions, they will invite her to participate in order to boost ratings.
After acting in several TV series, Liu Yuxi's studio signed several artists she favored. Except for scripts that she was particularly interested in, she rarely acted in TV series anymore, and mostly acted in movie scripts.
When filming, she sometimes collaborates with other companies. If there are pre-selected roles that will soon be cancelled, she needs to have a suitable reason to discuss replacing the actor with the other company. However, she can't say that she can tell by looking at the actor's face.
At this time of year, she would arrange a suitable role for Wang Xiyi in the drama. Wang Xiyi, being a variety show personality, didn't care about the size of the role; she just wanted to come and have some fun acting and see if she could boost her popularity.
With everyone watching the drama unfold, it's clear that the essence of capitalists is profit-seeking. Without Liu Yuxi saying anything, he simply replaced the actor himself.
When I'm bored, I sometimes go on variety shows that Wang Xiyi participates in as a guest to have some fun.
I keep in touch with Jin Chenxu from time to time, but we work in different circles and have busy schedules. Liu Yuxi is basically always on set, while Jin Chenxu is flying all over the country. So, we can only meet up for a meal when we're both free.
The relationship is still "more than friends, less than lovers." Taking it any further would be impossible without time. Most celebrity couples don't last long because they spend too much time apart.
Most of the women in the entertainment industry who have stable marriages are married to their agents or people outside the industry. In the long run, relationships still require companionship. Liu Yuxi thinks she should wait until she gets older and has less work before considering marriage.
Jin Chenxu is an ambitious person who always seizes every opportunity to improve himself. After all, an idol can't be a role model forever; they always need to reinvent themselves.
Liu Yuxi's agent will inquire about Jin Chenxu's availability when suitable roles arise in film and television productions. His agent is quite considerate of his artists, as their career development is closely linked to their financial future. He is supportive of Jin Chenxu's own ideas and, aside from company-arranged schedules, will allow Jin Chenxu to take on roles offered by Liu Yuxi whenever possible.
On set, besides playing his own role, Jin Chenxu spent his time learning acting skills from veteran actors. As long as you put your heart into it, you will see results.
As his acting skills improved, the audience's perception of him increasingly shifted towards that of an actor. He received more and more role offers, but he always prioritized offers from Liu Yuxi.
If his filming time exceeds one day, he will naturally be with Liu Yuxi that night. For young single men and women, even if they are photographed by paparazzi, it will only add another scandal.
Later, Liu Yuxi also "learned" some music knowledge from Jin Chenxu, and the two collaborated on writing several duet songs, which achieved good results after their release.
Jin Chenxu's fans used to be against their idol dating, but as he got older and started to change his image, or perhaps the fans themselves grew up, they no longer felt any aversion to the rumors about Jin Chenxu and Liu Yuxi. Sometimes they even gossiped about it with others.
When Jin Chenxu turned 35, his fans started to worry about him. Over the years, apart from the rumors with Liu Yuxi, his company and he himself have always ignored them. If there are any other rumors, he and his company will clarify them immediately.
Isn't it obvious? So, although both of them say they are good friends, everyone assumes they are a couple.
But it's been almost twelve years since they participated in "Heartbeat House," and the two still haven't taken things any further, so fans are starting to urge them to get married.
In fact, Jin Chenxu did mention marriage to Liu Yuxi when he was 30 years old, but Liu Yuxi herself was not very confident in maintaining the marriage, probably because she was insecure. She was not afraid of getting married, but she was afraid of getting divorced, and she was also the kind of person who couldn't tolerate any infidelity.
Jin Chenxu didn't pressure her; he just stayed with her, saying that they would discuss marriage when she was ready. As time went on, Liu Yuxi's thoughts did change. Meeting someone who could give you a strong sense of security at all times was truly reassuring.
Especially in the entertainment industry, problems can arise even in just one year, let alone twelve years. So, when Jin Chenxu was 35, the two officially announced their marriage.
Liu Yuxi has always felt that family life is a matter of personal privacy. Therefore, after marriage, fans have noticed that there is less information about the two of them together. However, they can still be seen together in some film and television collaborations, variety shows, and award ceremonies.
In this life, Liu Yuxi gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. At first, Jin Chenxu did not want Liu Yuxi to have children, after all, Liu Yuxi was in poor health, and he was afraid that pregnancy and childbirth would harm Liu Yuxi. Moreover, if the disease was hereditary, it would not be fair to the children.
Later, Liu Yuxi took him on a trip abroad and found a hospital where he had a full-body checkup. Only after seeing the test results did Jin Chenxu feel at ease and start trying to conceive with Liu Yuxi.
The reason for having the test done abroad was that I didn't want people in China to know, since the test results were a bit too healthy and somewhat unscientific!
Liu Yuxi has experienced every stage of her life, from marriage to childbirth. These were things that she had only imagined before, but after experiencing them firsthand, she has many feelings about them.
The difficulties of staying in marriage, the issues of children's education, and the relationship with in-laws—only those who have personally experienced these things have the right to speak on them.
They were relatively well-off, yet they still had all sorts of conflicts and problems in their lives, not to mention her former colleagues in real life.
Back then, she was single and couldn't understand her colleagues' daily complaints about family problems. Thinking about it now, she finds it amusing. If she could go back to that time, she might be able to understand them.
Liu Yuxi lived to the age of 82 before passing away. Fortunately, she left first, after all, they had been together for a lifetime. She thought she could not accept that her beloved had gone before her.
(Originally, it was a story without any romantic pairing because the author had never actually experienced a sweet romance and couldn't properly depict the daily interactions of a normal couple. However, as the story progressed, the atmosphere became so tense that it would seem unfair to the two characters not to have a wedding. So, I glossed over it. Don't take it too seriously; just read it as a story without a romantic pairing.)
