Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 885 - 887: Extra Story: Massage

It has been two months since the grand wedding at the beginning of the year.

Jinxia not only won the "Best Actress" at last year’s Venice Film Festival, but also won the "Best Actress" at this February’s Berlin Film Festival!

Double Movie Queen, it has to be said, makes one very envious.

Because of her generous winnings, "Special Action" once again made a fortune, leaving Director Qian grinning from ear to ear, although he felt a bit pained when it came to sharing the profits.

He couldn’t help but pat his head, regretful about how quickly he agreed to give He Jinxia a share of the box office; the amount he gave her could have been used to make a decent film!

Zhang Ming, upon finding out about He Jinxia’s share of "Special Action" box office, nodded repeatedly, sighing that Luo You was an old fox who had improved considerably in making money for stars over the years!

Oh, right, with He Jinxia’s support and Zhang Ming’s intentional or unintentional care, Luo You successfully secured the position in the General Office at the end of last year, keeping him as busy as a spinning top every day, very exhausted.

Sometimes, when he sees Jinxia, he can only greet her in a rush before diving back into the intense work.

This made Jinxia very gratified; her career and marriage are going smoothly, and she hopes those around her will also have smooth sailing in their lives.

This year’s Spring Festival fell in March. Though two months had passed since Jinxia and Sheng Yan got married, online discussions about them never ceased.

Detractors who couldn’t stand it just mindlessly accused Jinxia of getting ahead by relying on a man.

But this statement always met with plenty of rebuttals.

The dedication Jinxia has shown in her career over the past few years is evident to all, taking on one role after another, always either on the way to filming or promoting, never allowing herself a week’s vacation.

Sheng Yan is indeed her lover, but he hasn’t the means to the extent of bribing international judges.

With the "Double Movie Queen" halo, no one would think Jinxia obtained it through Sheng Yan.

Even without Sheng Yan, her life would still be very exciting.

Netizens showed their admiration online for Jinxia’s dual success in career and love, with many complimenting her good fortune.

In her career, she won Movie Queen and smoothly advanced to become a first-tier star, even reaching the two hundredth spot in last year’s global Star Celebrities List!

For someone who has just been promoted to a first-tier star, this ranking is quite impressive; Sheng Yan’s ranking when he first entered the first-tier was only within three hundred.

Although everyone knows her two hundredth ranking is somewhat exaggerated, partially because her husband is the mega-star Sheng Yan, enhancing her score, rankings are based on a celebrity’s overall influence.

And He Jinxia, even if her international film influence isn’t enough, being the wife of a mega-star alone is enough to substantially boost her global prominence.

In love, the love story of Jinxia and Sheng Yan was transformed into many versions.

Regrettably, they were quite low-key after getting married, did not publicly clarify or explain anything, giving a sense of letting rumors die down quietly.

News about the two continued to ferment online, making headlines and trending searches weekly. Even as the year end approached, netizens did not stop discussing, especially as this year’s Spring Festival also features a Jinxia film!

Yes, with Stanlanca’s coordination and Jinxia’s popularity, Stanlanca decided to release "Devil’s Sea 4: Misty Jungle" during Huaxia’s Spring Festival!

Jinxia spent last year’s Spring Festival shooting this film with the "Devil’s Sea 4" crew.

For the Spring Festival, they decorated the ship, unexpectedly making it look quite nice. At that time, an inspired Stanlanca shot a scene related to Huaxia’s Spring Festival.

He specifically brought a ship from Huaxia into Devil’s Sea, wrapped with a lot of red decorations, with festive "Prosperity Up," "Firecrackers," "Papercuts," "New Year Paintings," and more, filled with elements of the Huaxia Spring Festival.

Stanlanca devised a plot where the Captain boards this ship to collect fresh and strange items to amuse the Elf Princess.

What started as a spontaneous idea became a key reason to compete for the Huaxia Spring Festival market, an unexpected turn indeed.

In promotional trailers, this scene was prominently edited to attract attention.

On Jinxia’s side, since winning the award last year, her entire life seemed to fast forward, from trying on dresses, getting married, to hosting banquets, everything rushing forward at a whirlwind pace.

If not for Sheng Yan’s support, she felt she wouldn’t have been able to hold on, as these trifling life details were more fragmentary and irritating than her work.

Life filled with such minutiae can drive one mad!

Finally, after all the wedding affairs, she was notified of a nomination, and flew to Berlin, unexpectedly and yet expectedly winning again.

After returning with the prize, Jinxia heard the news that "Devil’s Sea 4: Misty Jungle" was set for release during the Spring Festival, as the movie’s lead, she naturally had to join the crew’s promotional tour.

There’s hardly any time for rest!

At the start of March, Jinxia, utterly exhausted, returned home to Dongting Lake Garden from the promotional events, and although she declined interviews afterwards, she remained very tired.

During these events, reporters continuously questioned her about her and Sheng Yan, despite Jinxia stating multiple times she would not answer non-movie related questions, like they couldn’t hear, persistently asking, which was mentally draining.

Opening the door, she threw herself onto the sofa without a second thought, exhaling a long breath, her tension finally easing.

Sheng Yan had already returned home; their life after marriage didn’t change much, continuing at Dongting Lake Garden, but Jinxia moved from the "small" house below to the "big" house above, officially starting their cohabitation life.

Aunt Rui, being particularly astute, claimed kindly that she wanted the young couple to nurture their relationship, choosing not to live with them, moving in with Mrs. He instead.

At this moment, without regard for her image, Jinxia lay sprawled on the sofa, half-asleep. Suddenly, she felt someone massaging her scalp, and then her temples were gently kneaded, significantly relieving her headache.

The soothing touch made Jinxia involuntarily sigh in contentment.

Without opening her eyes, she murmured, "You really haven’t specially learned this? It feels so good!"

"When I used to be tired from work, I would massage myself to relieve a headache."

Sheng Yan’s tone remained as cool as always, but his touch emanated warmth.

So soft...
