Hello Mr. King

“I told you that you’re a lucky star. It’s a happy life with you being here,” Sun Qiluo hugged Yun Xiangxiang. “Give me a few cans when I need to go to a remote area next time.”

“Sure. You will have some if you notify me earlier,” Yun Xiangxiang could still guarantee this.

Wang Yong would probably be quite elated seeing that so many people like his cooking.

“And me,” He Xingzhou swiftly raised his hand.

“How about just giving you guys these as new year presents after this?” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly said smilingly.

“I don’t mind,” Hou Cang said that he had no problem with it.

Everyone else followed suit and nodded. All of them had some money. They didn’t need any expensive gifts either. Tokens of appreciation were the most important things between friends. Yun Xiangxiang’s own homemade canned food couldn’t be bought anywhere else. The food safety and its ingredients surely must have been guaranteed.

As Yun Xiangxiang’s sauces and canned food would be different every day. Sun Qiluo’s expression during mealtime changed from that of looking at death to one of looking forward to it.

It didn’t take long for Wu Zhao and others to notice something wrong. They knew that their group gave themselves some special treatment. Wu Zhao said that he was infuriated. He promptly took away the two cans they opened that day in the end as punishment!

Prohibiting actors from giving themselves special treatment didn’t mean that they couldn’t bring their own food. After having it once, Wu Zhao brought Xiong Ao and Cao Chi along to get some from Yun Xiangxiang every day. From then on, Yun Xiangxiang opened four cans instead of two.

Gifts could blind the wise. After that, Wu Zhao and Xiong Ao didn’t bombard Yun Xiangxiang and others for every single mistake; even if they didn’t turn a blind eye to it.

“I should have made my move sooner if I knew this could shut the Great Villain’s mouth!” Sun Qiluo had regrets written on her face.

Every day was a happy one in the team. Yun Xiangxiang would take her laptop and books along with her to the team. She would grab every single minute to learn meticulously if she didn’t have any scene that day.

Ma Linlin’s trio warmly sorted out every day’s notes and recording before sending them to her online.

Yun Xiangxiang would make a note of the things she didn’t understand and ask Ai Li at night.

She would text Song Mian, call her parents and Yun Lin every day.

Her schedule was filled to the brim.

Finally, “Justice and Selflessness” started screening in Hong Kong at the end of the month. Yun Xiangxiang still followed the film even though she was in a different team.

There were a few films that were screened in Hong Kong. “Justice and Selflessness” were always at the top of the box office. It wasn’t particularly a big hit, but it was absolutely that season’s big winner.

A few of Yun Xiangxiang’s fans went out of their way to watch the Cantonese version. Most of them said that not knowing Cantonese didn’t hamper their experience. They could just watch it again when it was screened in the mainland.

There wasn’t any special praise for “Justice and Selflessness” online, nor did it receive any severe criticism.

“Justice and Selflessness” was like a cup of warm water. Drinking it felt good, but there wasn’t any flavor in it.

A lot of the audience gave a fair evaluation: It was worth the price of admission .

The audience wouldn’t regret going to the screening nor would they be blown away by it.

“It’s my first time seeing this phenomenon,” Sun Qiluo naturally paid attention to Yun Xiangxiang’s film, since she was filming the same film as her now.

“It is quite strange,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect the result to be like this.

It wasn’t because she was expecting a lot from the film. The case would usually be that a film would either receive praise or criticism from the audience. Of course there were neutral comments, but they were the minority.

Praise and criticism actually was rare for “Justice and Selflessness.” There were a bunch of neutral comments though.

It was as if the audience suddenly became rational.

“Whatever. As long as the box office is great, then everything’s fine,” Sun Qiluo said to Yun Xiangxiang.

“En,” Yun Xiangxiang also thought that it was fine this way.

She didn’t want too much of any praise actually. It was fine as long as the majority thought that they didn’t lose anything watching the film.

“Justice and Selflessness” went off-screen with a box office of twenty million yuan. Twenty million yuan might not be the highest box office number in Hong Kong, but it was enough to be in the top ten among movies aired in Hong Kong. The film would be aired during the Christmas period after it was examined.

“This is bad. There are big films from foreign countries airing during the Christmas season,” Sun Qiluo just happened to scroll an online ticket booking app.

“A film must screen when it still retains its popularity. It helps guarantee the box office.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t do anything about this, “It is as fate decrees.”

Yun Xiangxiang also looked at the data she saved for later reading. Even though “Justice and Selflessness” ranked second in the Hong Kong box office, it was vastly behind the foreign major film which was in the top spot.

Yun Xiangxiang knew that it was impossible to take over the Western big films with Hong Kong’s feedback on “Justice and Selflessness.”

It still did not affect her however. “Justice and Selflessness” might have not become a smash hit, but it wasn’t a flop either.

Although it wasn’t as brilliant as “Caring Love” or “University Dream,” it didn’t become a stain on Yun Xiangxiang’s career.

The internet generally acknowledged her and Gao Feng’s acting skills. The plot was the reason why it was so ordinary.

From Yun Xiangxiang’s perspective, she liked this kind of script. However, this kind of script would miss some shock factor if seen from the audience’s perspective.

Shock factors like the death of Wei You and Qi Xiaoran jumping off a building.

Shock factors like the sudden destruction of hope just as she almost welcomed the ray of dawn in “University Dream.”

Jia Hui’s ending might be touching, but it wasn’t really thrilling for the audience.

As far as genre went, “Caring Love” touched on an issue that was followed by most of society. It had a huge target audience.

There was a social factor in “University Dream” too. However, what attracted the audience was how unbelievable and unimaginable it was.

Its result was so brilliant because “University Dream” was primed by the explosive news of her being fought over by five different universities.

It might not be able to reach such a result if it was screened in a different time.

Yun Xiangxiang and the others’ difficult days began when winter started. Yun Xiangxiang received a package at this moment.

The signature and phone number on the package were alien to her. Yun Xiangxiang knew that the package was sent by Song Mian after Ai Li opened it.

There were all sizes of medicine packs that were sorted out in the package. They had sticky notes just like last time.

The larger packs were for making a decoction for the feet. The smaller packs were for making tea. There were also very thin plasters that were meant to be applied on the joints.

She finally got to the insole. Yun Xiangxiang noticed the smell of Chinese medicine when she pulled it out.

She was rummaging through the package when Song Mian called. His first words were, “I sent a package to you.”

“I received it,” Yun Xiangxiang was carrying the insole. “This insole seems to be different than the last one.”

“The one last time was to absorb sweat, prevent slippage, and to protect the feet,” Song Mian answered. “The insole this time is mainly for warmth.”

“Insoles can even keep you warm?” This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang had heard of it.

“There’s inorganic salt, activated carbon powder, and high purity iron powder. They can continuously release heat for twelve hours. I also added herbal extracts such as silvery wormwood. Its medicinal effects would be activated once it got hot. It will eliminate the toxins in your body from the Yongquan acupoint on the base of your feet.

Song Mian explained to Yun Xiangxiang patiently, “You’ll understand it after you use it tomorrow.”
