Chapter 25. Reaction
"The weather is freaking good."
Ren said as he watched the sky outside of the window. He was currently in the lounge area of Top star entertainment.
He had a smile on his face as he watched the sky outside.
There were no clouds in the sky and the sun was shining. Autumn was soon going to come but currently, the sun was shining in the sky and the weather was great.
Just like the weather, Ren's mood was also great and there was a constant smile on his face.
He also had a reason to be happy. The critics reviews were great and the movie was spreading because of word of mouth.
His mood can't be more better. He who had constantly failed in his previous life had finally gotten a success.
Although, it was far from a success right now, it can be considered as one already.
"…..There is still no article about you yet."
Sitting in front of Ren, White bear muttered as he scrolled through his phone.
He was finding articles about Ren but he hadn't found anything yet. There were some articles about Chu Min and Li Xinru but there were none about Ren.
White bear was frustrated because of that.
"Why don't you just put your phone down for a second, I bet there would be some articles later."
"But, Ah, okay. I wonder why there is not one article about you."
White bear reluctantly put down his phone as he said that.
"Well, It must be because not many people had seen the movie. There would be some after sometime."
Ren also wanted to read some articles about himself but he knew that even writing articles have a complex process.
He was not in the limelight before and practically, he was a complete rookie. So, the reporters would have to first gain some information about him.
For this, they would usually contact the management company, Ren is in and obtain some information about him.
Then, they will post their articles. Even reporters had to look more information as they can't write a half-assed article.
"Yo, Ren, I don't know you were also here."
As they were talking with each other, Chu Min and Jiang Wan came in.
Both of them were looking enthusiastic and they both had wide similes on their faces, especially Jiang Wan.
He was the one who had pushed this project and had even recruited Ren, he was smiling because all of his works are going successful.
He was even hoping for a promotion.
"What happened, White bear. Your face didn't look good."
Jiang Wan said as he sat down. He was able to perceive that something was wrong with him.
"It isn't much but I didn't found any article about Ren on the internet. I was a bit worried about that."
"There were not any articles about him. I thought he would have become a hot topic already."
Chu Min also sounded confused when he heard White bear's words. He glanced around the area and then, his vision got fixed on Jiang Wan.
He was the only person who would know the answer to that question.
"Tell us, what is going on? Brother Wan."
If you think carefully about it, it didn't make sense that there was not even one article about Ren.
Various media personals and reporters had attended the VIP screening, it didn't make much sense until..…..the company had some hands in it.
At Chu Min and White bear stares, Jiang Wan also coincided as he said while putting both of his hands in the air.
"I admit it, we were stopping the reporters from writing any articles. I am sorry that I didn't tell you about that."
"Ah, why did you do that?"
"Yeah, I don't think that's reasonable."
Jiang Wan sighed when he heard that and said.
"We did that to create a more shocking reaction
"
"More shocking reaction? What did you mean?"
Ren asked that with a questioning stare.
"We were waiting for more people to watch the movie before publishing the articles. Just think about it, people will get curious about Ren after seeing the movie, he had that much impact in the movie and if we released all the articles at that time. Then, you should know what will happen at that time."
"...It will create a frenzy."
Ren silently muttered that and Jiang Wan heavily nodded his head.
"But if that was the plan, then why don't you told us about it?"
Chu Min asked with curiosity. If they had that kind of strategy, then he should have just told them about it.
There was no reason to hide it.
"Well, I forgot because of the work. Although, the public reaction is lukewarm currently, the insiders are creating much buzz. It's been a long time since a good thriller had came out, that's why it had created more buzz."
He said scratching his head and Ren could sympathise with him seeing his eyes.
Although he sounded normal and there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of tiredness. They were dark circles under his shaggy eyes and he had not even shaved his beard.
He was truly looking like a homeless man.
"You should take more care of yourself..….."
'Ring!' 'Ring!'
As Chu Min was saying that, he was interrupted because of someone phone's ringing.
It was Ren's phone that was ringing.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was his mother that was calling him.
Ren gestured everyone to be quite as he picked up his phone.
"Hello, mother."
-Ren, where are you?
"I am at my friend's house currently. What happened, mother?"
His mother sounded worried, that's why he asked that.
The reason he didn't tell her that he was in the company because he hadn't told his parents about the contract yet.
He wanted to give them a surprise later.
-It's not much but that movie that you were starring in, it has already released, right.
"Yeah, I was hoping that you and father could come with me to watch it."
-Yesh, it's about that. I persuaded your father to watch it and he agreed to, but there was a problem.
"Problem? What happened, mother?"
Ren was worried that his father had gotten involved in something troublesome but his mother next words surprised him.
-Actually, your uncle came to visit us when you were away on shooting, your father accidentally revealed that you were portraying an important role in the movie.
"Huh? Is that all?"
-Yeah, now your uncle and aunt also want to watch the movie with us. Is that okay?
"….Ah, it isn't much of a problem, mother."
-Ah, you are okay with it.
"Yes, mother. Why not we plan to watch the movie together?"
-Hah, then it's only, I will inform your uncle and aunt.
Ren ended the phone with a smile. In his previous life, he had troubled his parents, now, he can finally surprised them and make them proud.
"You are going to watch the movie with your family?"
"Ah, yeah, it seems like my uncle and aunt are also coming."
Ren replied to Chu Min who looked at him with an envious look. His parents were in the countryside, so he can't meet them often.
That's why he was somewhat jealous of Ren who lived with his parents.
"It's good that you are spending time with your family. You have just finished your first movie, now you can enjoy for sometime."
"Thank you, Chief Jiang."
Ren said with a smile as he thought of his family.
