She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 272

Chapter 272

Rumors spread like wildfire.

However, there was no response from either of them for the entire day.

They let this rumor, which was marked by the eye–catching word “juicy“, linger on the trending searches.

It wasn’t until the evening that Luna retweeted Zayn’s post.

The following was the text in Zayn’s tweet.

[Since I don’t have a Twitter account and went to bed early last night, I only saw the rumors about me and Luna this morning. Feeling deeply uneasy, I quickly created a Twitter account to clarify things.]

[Luna was filming in my hometown, which was Oxhorn Village in Raverot Town, and that’s how we met. She was very enthusiastic after learning that I was also acting, and she took the initiative to offer me guidance on my acting, for which I was deeply grateful. I see her as an older sister, a friend, and a teacher. When I’m free, I treat her to a meal at my family’s restaurant.]

[Last night, we also dined at my family’s restaurant. Luna’s manager, my brother, and my sister were also dining at the same table. Please don’t misunderstand my relationship with Luna. Even more so, do not spread rumors.]

He also posted a photo of the five of them eating together on Twitter.

In the photo, he was sitting next to Luna. Three other people were sitting at the same table, and their faces were pixelated.

Luna politely included a message when she retweeted this post. [It’s my honor to know a friend like Zayn. Once again, I thank the Donovan family for providing such a perfect filming location for the crew of “High Mountain“, and I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with Zayn in the future.]

As soon as this tweet was posted, it went viral.

Zayn’s newly created Twitter account also surged with followers. In one night, the figure soared from single digit to six digits.

Fans frantically left comments.

[Luna had dinner at Donovan’s Restaurant last night, and Zayn said he treated Luna to a meal at his family’s restaurant last night. In other words, Zayn is also a rich kid, huh? Is he the brother of that mysterious handsome dude who doesn’t show his face in the movie “High Mountain“?]

[So, Zayn is the brother of goddess Athena from Kitmore University, who is the first person in the history of West End to score a perfect score on the SAT, as well as the brother of Alaric, the campus heartthrob and tennis extraordinaire? Oh my god, this family has stunning good looks!]

[You guys haven’t seen the young owner of Donovan’s Restaurant, right? He’s also a stud with good looks and refined poise. He particularly loves smiling and is always smiling at everyone. like him a lot.)

[I heard their parents were also stunning when they were young I’m so envious of the Donovan family’s genes!]

Please, let me see the photos of other members of the Donovan family. They must all be handsome men and beautiful

women…

Following the heated discussions on the internet, the Donovan family’s stunning looks gained widespread attention. “High Mountain” attracted even more attention.

Everyone asked about Zayn’s brother. Just how handsome is the mysterious male lead of “High Mountain“, the older

brother of Zayn? I’m definitely going to watch this movie just for his looks.]

[What I’m more curious about is how delicious the food at the Donovan family’s restaurant is, and just how beautiful the filming location of “High Mountain” is to make Luna unable to forget it.]

As a travel blogger, I’ve already bought an old house at Oxhorn Village. I intend to transform it into a homestay, and I want to stay there for a while every year. That place is just so therapeutic,…]

[Girls, I’ve already bought tickets. When I come back, I’ll let you know how good–looking Zayn’s brother is…]

All of the above comments had whetted the appetite of netizens and viewers.

Amidst such attention, “High Mountain” was officially released.

The period during summer vacation had always been a period where domestic films competed for attention and box office success. New films were released every week. Films from various big productions that featured heavyweight celebrities and top–tier actors were released in succession,

“High Mountain” was a thoroughly pure art film. Moreover, it featured only Luna as the sole star. It was at a complete disadvantage.

However, thanks to the attention it had received in recent months, “High Mountain” received 16% of the screenings on its first day of release and earned nearly 8 million dollars at the box office, accounting for 20% of the box office that day.

What did over 8 million dollars mean in this context?

In the past five years, the highest box office of domestic art films had not exceeded 60 million dollars, and the highest box office in history had not exceeded 200 million dollars.

Remarkably, “High Mountain” received very positive reviews and generated a lot of buzz among viewers after its official release. Its Popcornmeter was 82%.

There were all kinds of praise.

[The farmland scenery in the movie is so beautiful! No matter which angle you look from, it’s picturesque and very down- to–earth, without that high and mighty vibe that shuns the poor. I’m going to hang out with my girlfriends this weekend.] [Folks, does anyone share my feelings? I sat in the theater until the credits were over, and the male lead didn’t even show his face. I’m so frustrated…]

[I absolutely love that flower ramp! I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to take wedding photos there with my boyfriend…] [This is a romance film, right? Even though the male and female leads never said a word of love throughout, not even a kiss…]

[The filming locations in the movie get packed on weekends and holidays. Folks, I strongly suggest you all choose a workday if you want to go…] This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

One snarky film critic pointed out Luna’s acting skills. [How was Luna’s acting? Well, at least in this movie, she didn’t have any acting skills. That’s because she wasn’t acting at all. She was just showing her true soul without reservation.]

A veteran artist praised her. [Luna played a femme fatale and a terminally ill patient before. Her acting was great, but everyone only praised her for acting so well. This is the only movie where no one says she acted well. They only say that the person in front of the camera is the real deal, living life authentically.)

More viewers commented about her looks. [I didn’t expect Luna to look so beautiful without makeup. With her beauty alone, she can be popular for another twenty years.]

The cinema added screening slots for “High Mountain.”

Sitting by the floor–to–ceiling window, she held a cup of coffee with both hands, watching the movie over and over again.

She watched the clips of her appearing in the movie with Jaden.

The two of them stood with their backs to the camera and held hands. Bathed in the gentle morning light, they walked home together along the flowery slope. Their backs were so charming…

In the winter, with snowflakes drifting down, she and Jaden sat by the brazier. Jaden took out a golden–brown roasted sweet potato from the brazier. After peeling it, he handed it to her. The look on her face as she ate the roasted sweet potato was pure happiness, like that of a child…

In the drizzling spring, she held Jaden’s arm and walked through the yellow field of rapeseed flowers with a sense of haziness. That kind of silent and intoxicating romance could even make her melt just by watching it….

She missed the days spent filming in the Donovan family’s farmland.

She also missed Jaden’s voice and the dishes he made.

However, Oxhorn Village had become famous, and the Donovan family’s farmland was very popular. Jaden was extremely busy now and rarely returned to Kitmore City. It was not easy for her to see him.

She muttered, “I really want to spend a few days in Oxhorn Village… Even though Jaden left a room for me in the old residence, he’s so busy. How can I have the nerve to ask him to cook for me every day? It’s been so many days since we last saw each other. How come he didn’t take the initiative to call me?‘
