Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 46: Eating for free - Retiring from the entertainment industry

Zhou Leng finally returned to his home safely.

Chu Juan and Wang Guangchen were waiting in the living room early. When they saw their son, Chu Juan went up to him and hugged him, crying and laughing. She cried because her son finally made it. Who would say her son was a gigolo in the future? He was an international star. She laughed because her son was a simple-minded man. In the end, his agent drove him home.

A sumptuous dinner awaits the long-lost traveler.

Zhou Leng was sitting at the table and was about to pick up his chopsticks first when his mother hit him on the arm.

"What are you doing? You are already an adult, and Xiaoya hasn't come back yet. Don't think you can get ahead of yourself just because you are famous now."

Zhou Leng said helplessly: "Mom, I am arrogant just because I stole a bite of the food? It has been a long time since I had the food you cooked."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You should wait for them too."

Ten minutes later, the door opened.

When the cute little Ruoruo saw her father, she ran over and threw herself into his arms, saying loudly, "Dad, I miss you so much."

Zhou Leng picked up his daughter, and then followed her example and rushed to Zheng Ya who was standing at the door. After hugging her, he said, "Wife, I miss you so much."

Ruoruo was caught in the middle and laughed out loud.

The family started a warm dinner.

Zheng Ya is now completely accustomed to her parents-in-law coming to her home to cook for her. They have overturned the image of the elders in her mind, and finally let her know that the elders are also warm and happy at home.

A month later.

Zhou Leng began to participate in domestic and international variety shows in order to increase his influence as much as possible before the release of Western Rebellion.

Two months later, the movie was released.

The charm of classic commercial films lies in the wonderful fighting scenes, the unhurried plot, the lifelike special effects, and the correct output of values. All these are present in "The West", so naturally it is a big hit at the box office and has a good reputation.

Zhou Leng completely opened the door to international films with this film. It was also at this time that he signed a contract with director Chris, signing a contract with the other party at a price that was completely different from his current worth. Fortunately, with Zhou Leng's current status, the agency has completely respected his ideas.

There are so many beautiful women and handsome men in the world, and many of them have superb acting skills. If you want to make a name for yourself here, the most important thing is to find your own position. If you want to be beautiful, you have to be incomparably beautiful. If you want to be handsome, you have to be so handsome that both gods and humans can anger you. If you want to act well, you have to be superb and have a thousand faces. Zhou Leng possesses a force that cannot be replicated or compared, and this is how he positions himself.

the following year.

The movie directed by Chris was released, and although the box office was mediocre, he and another leading actor were nominated for Best Actor at the same time. The film festival they were nominated for was a world-renowned one.

The country was in an uproar and the whole nation was paying attention, but in the end Zhou Leng missed the award. It was not because he was incompetent or his acting was bad, but because he was Chinese.

Chuxiong asked him to send a message to apologize at this time, to apologize to those disappointed compatriots and fans.

Zhou Leng said speechlessly:

"Brother, it's not enough for me to feel bad about missing out on the award, I also have to apologize to them. What's wrong with you?"

Chu Xiong has now gotten used to the other person's attitude, and he said in the same tone:

"Look at what others have done. Almost everyone apologizes. Look at the trending search results for 'disappointment', which has been on the hot search list for a whole day."

Zhou Leng said indifferently:

"Disappointment is disappointment. Whoever is capable can do it. Why should I pay for their emotions? They are blackmailing me morally. There are so many actors in China. They try their best. But I alone can't do it."

Chu Xiong was speechless at his words. He could only tell his winning formula:

"Then I'll talk to Xiaoya and see what she thinks."

"Hmph, who are you trying to scare with my wife? I tell you, no one can do that. I won't apologize. Love whoever you want." After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Thirty minutes later.

Chen Yi's account updated the status: "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. I will continue to work hard."

Chu Xiong looked at the man typing obediently and sneered mercilessly and mockingly.

In the next two years, Zhou Leng spent almost all of his time on foreign film crews, creating different roles one after another, and he also increased his international influence with the continuous release of his works.

In Zhou Leng's fifth year on the international stage, a war-themed film he starred in became a huge hit, and he was once again nominated for the Best Actor at the most internationally renowned film festival. This again caused a sensation in China. This was his fourth time to be nominated, and he had been nominated almost every year, but always missed the award.

Zhou Leng was already prepared to run with his wife, and he brought his wife to the event in all her best attire. After all, he also needed a female companion, so he decided to give his wife more exposure.

When the Best Actor Award was announced, Zhou Leng was still joking with his wife, but the camera was pointed at him. Zheng Ya covered her mouth in surprise, and then looked at her husband with excitement.

Zhou Leng himself was much calmer. After all, he had been a runner-up so many times, over and over again, that he no longer felt excited.

When he went on stage to receive the award, Zhou Leng calmly held the trophy and said:

"The speech I am about to give was prepared four years ago. I have been waiting to finish reading it every year since then. Today I finally have the chance."

After the man said this, the whole audience laughed in good faith.

Zhou Leng thanked many people, and finally he said with a smile:

"Today I am standing here, receiving the attention of the whole world. I have achieved my goal. Next I will return to my family and spend more time with my wife and children. I have missed out on my daughter's growth in the past few years and I need to make up for it."

Everyone in the audience looked around to confirm each other's meaning, while netizens outside the screen had already started a heated discussion.

Zheng Ya looked at the man shining brightly on the stage. That was her lover. He had told her many times that he would retire if he won the award. She thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true. This was the man she loved, who ended his career in the brilliance and returned to his family in infinite glory. He never forgot where he started because he was climbing higher and higher. No matter how far he went, he could always find his way home.

No matter how shocked he was, the host continued to the next step, and Zhou Leng hugged his wife tightly after he stepped down and shared the trophy with her.

From now on, the things that people remember most about China are the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Chen.
