Rong Xu’s gaze slowly shifted away from this lady who was emotionally blaming herself again to look over at Steward Duan that was standing respectfully at the side. It was only at this time did Rong Xu realized that his Aunt and Uncle were also sitting in the drawing room; the Uncle had on a serious face while the Aunt looked away to avoid his gaze. Finally, he turned to look at that black-dressed man standing not far in front of him.

A month ago, Tang Menglan had said that just catching a glimpse Qin Cheng’s face would be even harder than meeting Xia Muyan.

Since then, Rong Xu went to search for some information from this world to study up on his own knowledge regarding the male actor.

The original owner’s memory honestly didn’t even have a wisp of their figure concerning male actors, everything was all on famous actresses. The only few male actors he actually remembered wasn’t some Film Emperor, but instead Zhong Yi and his few third-rate actor friends.

When Rong Xu saw Qin Cheng’s personal data, he suddenly felt that he got an objective.

When Qin Cheng debuted at sixteen, he played in a biographical movie acting as a rock star who died an untimely death in his prime. The director of that film was the top director from Huaxia Entertainment and after the screening, the movie swept up six billion for the box office, cutting down most of the box office art films. Then, later in the same year, Qin Cheng received China’s Golden Phoenix Award, Berlin’s Golden Bear Award, and a nomination for Hollywood Oscars’ Best Male Lead Actor.

Just like that, a sixteen year old newcomer in his first ever movie took the Berlin Academy Award Crown.

Everything afterward was a dazzling history of his rise to fame.

In this world, never was there ever an actor that could make every movie rate 8 points or above. But Qin Cheng achieved it.

In this world, never was there ever an actor who relied on a suspense film to attain 5 billion and above for the China’s box office. But Qin Cheng achieved it.

In this world, never was there ever an actor who was able to get the Berlin Academy Award in successive years. But Qin Cheng achieved it.

These were all achievements he made before his twenties. Till the year when he turned twenty-one, a single shockingly glamorous world of “Musheng” let him snatched the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Male Actor and Oscar Academy Award for Best Actor all in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to get the Berlin Academy Award, otherwise, he would have been history’s one and only grand slam winner with all three major awards.

Qin Cheng’s starting point was too high, his whole path was smooth sailing along the wind; never starring in a TV drama series nor ever deigning to lower himself to act in any movies that are invested with less than five hundred million. Whether within the circle or outside, there were rumors all over. It was said that Qin Cheng came from a huge background, but no matter what kind of imaginations were flying around, these were all just people chasing the wind and clutching at shadows, forever without any real evidence.

He had big behind-the-scenes supporters, but receiving the awards was by relying on his own strength.

Long story short, ever since “Musheng”, Qin Cheng had maintained a “once a year a commercial film, once a year of an art film” pace and leisurely walked through the entertainment circle as he pleased. He was no longer like that model worker when he first debuted five years ago. But to contrary, it was this leisurely that let him get the Best Male Actor Award several times within the next five years and step by step, reached the top summit of the Chinese entertainment industry to become one of the few who stood at the apex.
