"Stop reading the newspapers. They won''t write anything nice. They will only find ways to make you angry." Xiang Nan advised Mary.


    In the past week, major newspapers have been serializing news about the two of them, especially Mary''s life story.


    ?These media are indeed very powerful. They got the news from nowhere and almost exposed Mary’s background.


    ??What she has done before, where she has been, and how many people she has dated have all been exposed by the media. It is so outrageous that Xiang Nan has to admire their power.


    Mary was naturally unhappy when these secrets were exposed.


    What''s more, these media haven''t said anything good about her, or they say that she is a lucky girl who got lucky and was lucky enough to be neighbors with Xiang Nan in the slums, so she suddenly flew up a branch and became a phoenix;


    ?Either they say that she must have grabbed hold of Xiang Nan, so Xiang Nan didn''t get rid of her even after he became famous, and he was forced to marry her... She was almost treated like the villain''s boss.


    So every time Mary reads the newspaper, she becomes depressed. But she couldn''t help but watch it, so she got very angry every time.


    “It’s so abominable, they wrote me in such a bad light.” Mary threw the newspaper angrily and said, “Dan, do you also think I’m not good enough for you?”


    "Stop thinking so wildly." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don''t forget that I took the initiative to propose to you. If I thought so, why would I propose to you?


    ?These newspapers just don’t like others and will stir up trouble no matter what. To them, bad news is good news. So the best way is to ignore them.


    ?Well, the weather is getting hot now, and it’s uncomfortable to stay at home. How about going to Alaska? See the aurora and catch trout? "


    When Mary heard this, she smiled and nodded.


    …


    Xiang Nan then took Mary on a trip to Alaska.


    ??It is located at the northernmost tip of the United States. Its area is twice as large as the three eastern provinces, but its population is only more than 700,000. It is really vast and sparsely populated.


    There you can effectively avoid paparazzi interference, and you can also effectively avoid the bombardment of modern media.


    They stayed there for half a month and adjusted their mood by relying on the magnificent and wild natural scenery and the quiet and leisurely seclusion life.


    By the time they returned to New York, there were few reports about them in the newspapers.


    After all, new news happens every day, and they cannot always dominate the headlines.


    Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then released a new song "BeWhatYouWannaBe".


    This is an English inspirational song. It was originally released by Swedish singer Darin Zanyar in 2005 and was very popular in China at that time.


    Xiang Nan also wanted to use this song as an answer to the external media.


    "BeWhatYouWannaBe", become the person you want to be, that is, "you decide your own destiny".


    He wanted to marry Mary, and no matter what the outside world said, it would not change his choice.


    …


    Because half a month ago, the news about Xiang Nan and Mary spread all over the world.


    ?Although it caused them some trouble, it has to be said that it was these scandals that greatly increased his popularity. Many people who did not know him now know his name.


    The new single "BeWhatYouWannaBe" seems to have something to say, so it immediately caused a sensation as soon as it was released.


    As soon as it was released, it reached No. 5 on the Billboard charts. It successfully reached the top the next week and became Xiang Nan''s another number one single. It stayed at the top for five weeks and sold more than five million copies. Quite ideal.


    In addition, in April, Xiang Nan also participated in auditions for many film and television dramas.


    ??Among them are Sam Raimi''s "Spider-Man 3", Marvel''s "The Incredible Hulk" which is planned to start shooting, and Fox Film''s "Night at the Museum", etc.


    Xiang Nan auditioned mostly for the second male role. He knew that although he was the king of music, he could not play the leading role in a big-budget movie.


    First of all, his box office appeal has not been recognized, and no film company dares to star him in a major production that has invested more than 80 million US dollars;


    Secondly, his acting skills have not been recognized by the industry. Therefore, he was naturally not considered for roles that required acting skills. Therefore, Xiang Nan is not greedy, and he often chooses the second male lead role in special effects blockbusters.


    Special effects blockbusters, compared to literary and artistic films, do not require much testing of acting skills. Moreover, the second male lead does not have to carry the box office. If it is a big hit at the box office, he can still get some glory.


    ?However, his little idea was not completely satisfactory, and none of these big productions dared to take the risk of using him. However, two small productions are willing to invite him to star, one is the horror film "Horror House of Wax Museum" and the other is the musical "Dance of My Life".


    Since the production schedules of the two films were separate, Xiang Nan took over both.


    …


    In May, Xiang Nan once again released a new song "goodtime".


    ?This was originally a pop song sung by Adam Young and Carly Rae Jepsen. It became very popular after its release and received a lot of praise.


    ??Now that Xiang Nan is singing, it is naturally more popular, and it has topped the Billboard charts for two weeks in a row. The number of downloads on the online platform has ranked among the top ten in the rankings for ten consecutive weeks. It can be said to be quite popular among young people.


    In June, Xiang Nan participated in the filming of "Horror Wax Museum".


    ?This movie tells the story of six young people who attended a concert and their car had a flat tire on the road, so they went to a small town for help and met a perverted murderer.


    Xiang Nan plays one of the six young men, the heroine’s brother, a man who is very masculine and lives to the end.


    ?According to the director, the reason why he was chosen as the starring role was because Xiang Nan’s hormonal energy could attract female audiences to the theater.


    In addition to him, there are Eliza Cuthbert, who plays Jack Bauer''s daughter in "24"; Judd Padrick, who plays Sam in "Supernatural"; and The famous Beverly socialite Paris Hilton.


    ?She became famous last year after her private video was leaked, and she became a household name and controversial figure in the United States. As a result, she published books and albums, and appeared in movies and TV series, which made her famous.


    ??She plays the role of a slutty second female lead in the movie, who only wants to make out with her boyfriend. Naturally, she cannot escape the laws of horror movies, and all men and women who behave in a slutty manner are bound to die.


    "Horror House of Waxwork" is Xiang Nan''s first starring film. It cost US$30 million and is considered a mid-range production.


    For him, the opportunity to play the leading role in such a large-budget movie is really rare.


    ?Hence Xiang Nan worked very hard and had the courage to take part in some dangerous actions. And his approach also won unanimous appreciation from directors and producers.


    Finally, the filming of the film was completed in July, but it may not be released until next year.
