Chinese Showbiz: From Art-House Actor to King of Commercial Films

In his previous life, Chen Qi was obsessed with making art-house films and cared little for fame or fortune. He even lived by a “three no's” principle: no bad projects, no variety shows, and no celebrity pairings. It took a harsh lesson from reality for him to finally wake up after his family was destroyed. By then, he had already lived most of his life and missed all the best opportunities. Fortunately, he was reborn in the past. In this life, he would make up for his past regrets twice over. And repay the people who had hurt him twice over! Years later, Chen Qi gave an interview. “Mr. Chen Qi, four of the ten highest-grossing films this year starred you. Many media outlets are calling it the ‘Year of Chen Qi.’ What would you like to say about that?” Chen Qi replied modestly, “It's just a little bit of affection from the audience.” “Mr. Chen Qi, six of this year's ten most memorable variety-show moments featured you. How did you manage that?” Chen Qi answered humbly, “I was simply following my heartfelt desire to bring joy to the audience.” “Mr. Chen Qi, you've been paired with several of the most popular young actresses this year. Which of your top ten pairings do you like best?” Chen Qi declared righteously, “Do you think I'm that selfish? My love is selfless.” “I love every one of them!”
