Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star - Chapter 292
Chapter 292. Future? (2)
“You know I always have a dream from childhood! A dream I wanted to complete at all cost and the reason I founded Top star entertainment was also because of that one dream.”
In the CEO’s office, Ren was currently staring at CEO Xu. She was looking back at him with a smile on her face that seem to be holding back many things.
Still, her eyes seen to be blazing with passion. A passion Ren had never seen before. That’s why, he was surprised.
He couldn’t help but ask.
“What is your dream?”
Ren was really curious about it. The dream that had made her start Top star entertainment. What can it be? He thought that it must be a big dream for CEO Xu to be this passionate about it.
CEO Xu smirked when he asked that.
Her eyes grew slightly upturned and she looked at him with a grin on her face.
“Hollywood!!”
“Huh? Hollywood?”
Ren’s eyes grew wide hearing that. He looked at her with astonishment on his face and she continued without changing her expression.
“Yeah, I want to create a star that can stand on top of Hollywood with my own hand. I know you may think that it’s not possible or maybe, you think I’m being childish, but it’s my dream and I want to fulfil it at all cost!”
When CEO Xu said that, Ren noticed the blazing fire burning in her eyes. She was serious about it and Ren also got serious, seeing her like that.
‘A Hollywood star!’
He began to think in his mind.
He didn’t thought that it was not an achievable dream as in his previous life, some Asian celebrities have managed to make a place for them in the west, claiming the title of ‘Global stars’ for themselves.
But it was through music industry, not acting industry.
Even in his past life, he had taken a long time for Asian actors to place themselves in Hollywood and even then, they were only getting supporting roles.
Some female celebrities have even changed to sensual looks to gain more popularity.
‘It’s certainly not easy to gain popularity in Hollywood…’
If we take the example of a cultivation novel, then Chinese and Asian film industry was like the lower and middle realms while Hollywood was the upper realm.
The place where only the best can survive – The international stage!
“So, what do you think about my offer? Entering Hollywood, I don’t think any actor would want to miss the chance to enter Hollywood!”
CEO Xu spoke when Ren was in thoughts. He didn’t open his mouth straightway as he didn’t know how to answer.
It was indeed an enticing offer, but Ren also have many questions in his mind.
“Why me?”
That was the first question in his mind. CEO Xu can easily give this offer to some other actor. Chu Min was the better choice as he was just sweeping Korean and Japanese dramas.
Ren had started his career just two years ago, so he really wanted to know why CEO Xu offered him a chance of entering Hollywood.
“You want to know why I only gave this proposal to you and no one else?”
“Yes!”
CEO Xu leaned back on her leather chair when Ren nodded his head. In her usual posture, she opened her red lips.
“It’s because you are special.”
“I’m special??”
Ren eyes went round hearing that. He stared at CEO Xu like he was asking what she was talking about? She glanced at his expression and stood up from her chair.
Then, she started circling around the room.
“You know the first time I saw your acting, I thought that you were a good actor, but that’s not the only thing I perceived from your acting. I also thought of something else. Maybe, you know it better than anyone else, but Ren, your talent has a… limit!”
Shock!
That was the feeling Ren got when he heard CEO Xu’s words. He himself very well knows that his talent was limited, unlike Xiao Rin who has unlimited acting potential.
But he never thought that CEO Xu would perceive it too.
“Your talent is limited, but you still try to improve yourself. Normally, if someone with a limited talent would try to do that, there would only be one result…”
CEO Xu took a pause before opening her mouth again.
“… He will break, but you are different.”
“Different?”
Ren tilted his head slightly and asked. CEO Xu walked in front of him and leaned back on her desk while staring at him with an unusual gaze.
“I don’t know what, but you have something special. Something that make you break the walls known as limits, despite your limited talent. It’s not something I have seen before…”
‘Gulp!’
Ren gulped hearing that.
He never expected that CEO Xu would be able to discern so much about him. He had been careful, but CEO Xu’s eyes were able to discern everything just by observing him for two years.
The special thing he had was his previous life knowledge and experience.
‘I can notice my mistakes easily because of that.’
As Ren has 20 years of experience, he practically know all his faults and by analyzing himself, he can correct them.
That was also the main reason of his growth, but CEO Xu never guessed that. No one would think that someone has came back from the future.
That’s why, Ren was calm.
“It’s not oily that. Your eye for projects also make you different…”
As Ren was thinking about all that, CEO Xu again started speaking.
“You brought out unknown projects like «The stars above» and «A born star». No one thought that they would be a hit, but you proved them wrong. I felt that you were more special because of that.”
Ren just smiled awkwardly hearing that.
The only reason he choose «The stars above» was because he knew it would be a hit and as for «A born star», it was really a gamble.
But it was a gamble that worked exponentially.
That’s why, even Ren was in confusion on whether his eyes for projects were good or bad. In his previous life, he just took whatever projects came his way, so he never had an option.
‘No matter what, it’s better to choose projects which would succeed…’
Ren thought and raised his head to look at CEO Xu who was also looking at him. Her face was expressionless, but there was a burning passion in her eyes.
Ren felt that pressure more when she again opened her mouth.
“I thought and thought about you and your strange talent, but in the end, I only reached one conclusion – You are a genius too.”
“Uh?”
Ren stared back in confusion hearing that.
“Yeah, you heard it, right? You are a strange genius, but you are a genius nevertheless. That was the only answer I can find. It was also the reason I decided to offer you a chance to enter Hollywood.”
After pondering about it for a long time, CEO Xu had accepted the fact that Ren was really a genius.
The more she observed him, the more he surprised her.
That’s why, she had offered him a golden opportunity that people would die for.
“So, what do you think? Will you accept it or not?”
CEO Xu asked again with upturned eyes.
