Chapter 66. A future cyclone
'There are a lot of messages.'
Ren thought as he glanced through his phone. Messages from his mother, relatives and even his high school friends were coming at a fast rate.
But Ren choose to ignore them as he opened the forums to check the reactions of people.
-Hey, I never thought he would have that kind of problems.
-Honestly, even I was a bit afraid of him because of his acting, I really thought that he was crazy after watching the film.
-He was pretty cute to be honest.
-Yeah, he had a kind of shy and gentle personality in real life.
-I think I am going to become his fan. There are no good rookies these days except him.
-Lol, the people bashing Xin Ren was now all gone.
-Ahh, he's going to be my new hubby from now on.
-I honestly liked his chemistry with Li Xinru.
-Yeah, do you think something is going on between them.
-I like him and Wu Qing better. They are from the same agency too.
-Why are all the people here talking about his dating life. He's an actor, does anybody know his next movie?
-I don't know anything about it.
-I just checked on the internet but there was nothing there.
'My whole image have kind of changed.'
Ren thought as he went through hundreds of comments.
Previously, his image was kind of scary in people's eyes but with the broadcast, it had been improved tremendously.
It was also beneficial for his drama as Ren was going to play a nice character this time and not a villain.
Before this, Ren had given many interviews with some media outlets and newspapers but there was not much reaction but just after a single show, his image have seem to be changed.
It was because people nowadays are tend to move towards visual media these days instead of print.
Because of many streaming sites these days, some magazines and media newspapers are also entering the visual media.
"Brother Ren, there are many comments about you on the online websites."
As Ren was checking the media websites, Xiao Rin said towards him.
"Really? Do you find some comments?"
Ren said as he glanced at the phone in Xiao Rin's hands.
"Yeah, there are many people who were saying that they were impressed by you. Some even say that they are your fans from now on."
"Really? Show me the phone."
Ren said as he gestured Xiao Rin to pass the phone and after receiving the phone, he started scrolling down to read the comments.
After every good comment about him, Ren became happy and he just casually ignored the people criticising him as they were in the minority.
"It looks like you are famous now."
As Ren was reading the comments, Director Kang came towards him with a smile on her face.
"I honestly didn't knew that my fans would increase just after one reality show."
Director Kang smile mischievously when she heard that and said.
"It's not like your fans have increase just because of Whiz stars, you already have many fans after your debut but they don't have a means to support you. You still don't have a official website or a fandom yet."
"So you are saying that I already have a small fan base."
"Yeah, isn't that obvious? You were great in your debut and I bet that your fans would grew after your drama."
Ren fell in thought when he heard that. For an actor, fans are everything. They are the ones to wholeheartedly support an actor or actress.
You could even say that celebrities and fans have a special relationship and for every celebrity, a fan is a precious thing.
As for Ren, he had inwardly knew that he would have some fans as he was now a celebrity but it was hard to believe it for him as he had never met a true fan of him.
Most of the people who asked for his autographs are not his true fans. He knew that they are just asking for an autograph because he was a celebrity.
That was all but Ren still liked those people. It was way better than his previous life when people don't even know him.
"Why are you in a daze? You have to work hard from now on to satisfy your growing fanbase."
Director Kang said as she saw him in a daze and Ren answered.
"Ah, yeah, I will work more from now on."
"Work hard but keep it into moderation. You have to be healthy to shoot."
"I wish I would have fans someday as well."
As Director Kang and Ren was talking, they suddenly heard Xiao Rin's quite whisper like voice.
She was feeling slightly sad that she don't have any fans right now. Seeing this, Ren said in a soothing voice.
"Don't worry, I bet you will have thousands of fans someday."
"Really?
Xiao Rin asked that with an expression as she was asking 'Is it true' and Ren nodded heavily at that as he thought about his previous life when she had millions of fans.
"Um, can I ask you something?"
Director Kang said as she made a serious expression and Ren nodded and gesture her to ask.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Ren felt like choking on his saliva when he heard that. He was wondering if Director Kang had asked that as a joke but her eyes were definitely serious.
"Why do you want to know that?"
"It's important as many eyes would be on you after the announcement of your drama. It's just to ensure that no scandal would break out. You know, paparazzi are no joke these days."
Director Kang said as she looked at him with narrowed eyes as to find out whether if he is lying or not.
On the other hand, Xiao Rin was also staring daggers at him with a weird and strange gaze.
Ren felt pressured by that stinging gaze but he didn't worried as he don't have anything to hide.
"No, I have already said this to Chief Jiang but I am not dating anyone currently."
"Is it really true?"
Ren nodded heavily at that and Director Kang narrowed eyes finally became normal again.
Xiao Rin stinging gaze was also back to normal and she was looking at Ren with a relieved expression.
"Oh, yeah, Xiao Rin, you don't have a boy…..."
"I don't have one. Never had one."
Xiao Rin answered in an instant before Director Kang can even finish her sentence.
"It's good then. You don't know how much trouble it's for the PR Team when a dating scandal suddenly breaks out. I am glad that you two are not dating..."
Director Kang suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence as she started alternating her gaze at Ren and Xiao Rin.
She did that with a weird look in her eyes and after a while, she muttered in a soft and quiet voice 'There's no way it will happen' and 'Xiao Rin is still a minor'.
Ren looked at her with a strange look as he heard her muttering but he decided to ignore it.
Director Kang also didn't ponder at it any longer as she thought that it was not possible.
It was another thing that if she had gave it some more thought that day, she would have avoided a big cyclone that will come into the future.
But that future was still quite far away….
