Hello Mr. King

Chapter 357 - The Movie Queen Joins In

Chapter 357: The Movie Queen Joins In

Yun Xiangxiang smiled politely, not answering to avoid verbally attacking him. This made him more interested instead.

“Have you both met before?” He Wei was also a little uncertain?

Tang Zhiyu was not a person with a messy private life. Even though he was the most desired man to many actresses in the entertainment industry, he never appeared in the entertainment section. His news was mostly in the financial aspect.

The Tang family had always been a sweet piece of pastry in the eyes of the media. However, after Master Tang lost four grandchildren one after another, the Tang family also gradually fell silent.

This silence was not in the business field but the news. In the past, entertainment news always had several stories about the Tang family every few days. Mostly about some members of the Tang family spending time with someone else.

Ever since Tang Zhiyu returned to China, the Tang family almost disappeared from the entertainment section. Many said that Tang Zhiyu followed the family tradition.

He usually never took the initiative to start the conversation with a stranger. Moreover, his gaze on Yun Xiangxiang was as if he saw prey.

No matter how well he hid it, He Wei was a man too. He was a man who could see through a thousand layers, and he keenly caught Tang Zhiyu’s gaze.

“No.” Yun Xiangxiang was sure, “I have never seen him.”

“He seems to have some bad intentions towards you. You have to be careful.” He Wei carefully instructed.

They drove to Chongyu Pavillion, which was a Chinese palace style restaurant. Not only were the dishes exquisite to the atmosphere, but the ingredients were also fresh. The taste respected the original flavor aspect while most of the ingredients’ freshness was retained too.

It was famous in Beijing. The people coming in and out were of high social status. Looking at each car parked there, they were all luxurious — even the cheapest car cost at least seven or eight million.

The expenses here were clearly reflected, but they ran their business normally. There was no wine and solicitation services, and they were up to standard in every way.

They said that the boss had adamant backers, so no one would cause them any trouble. It was an iconic place in Beijing.

Yun Xiangxiang wanted to bring Yun Zhibin and the rest to indulge in this place at least once, mainly for them to experience it.

But if Su Xiuling knew that a meal would cost nearly a million yuan per capita, they would probably be shocked to death.

When Yun Xiangxiang arrived, He Shen and Chen Yinghui were already there. He Shen also brought his wife along. She had a normal appearance, but her aura was scholarly and gentle.

Chen Yinghui brought a person that Yun Xiangxiang did not expect to see—Yu Jinlin.

“Our heroine finally arrived.” Chen Yinghui spoke first, his secretary leading Yun Xiangxiang to her seat.

It was undeniable that the seating arrangements were superb. Next to her was Yu Jinlin, and the seat on her other side was empty as it was reserved for Song Mian.

Next to Song Mian was He Wei, then He Shen’s wife. Next to He Shen was Chen Junjie. Chen Junjie was almost sitting directly across Yun Xiangxiang.

“My apologies, Chairman Chen. My friend is still a little far away from here.” Yun Xiangxiang apologized first.

“It’s alright. It is not time yet. We are just early.” Chen Yinghui was forthright.

Within the exchange of a few sentences, Yun Xiangxiang realized that she was biased to Cheng Yinghui. Perhaps the methods that he used might not have been the most upright, but his tolerance as a patriarch was undoubted.

“Beijing’s traffic is usually a bit congested. It just happens to be the peak time now,” said Yu Jinlin.

“Sister Jinlin, I’ve heard of your name for a long time. It is my honor to meet you.” Yun Xiangxiang raised a glass to her.

“I have been soul sisters with you for a long time as well.” Yu Jinlin was elegant and poised.

She was different from Li Man’s stunning beauty. She belonged in the category of intellectual elegance. Undoubtedly, she was a beauty. She was beautiful in a classical sense, especially her eyes. A roll of her eyes could make people wallow in them.

“I am flattered that Sister Jinlin would say that.” Yun Xiangxiang was humble.

The two smiled at each other. Although they belonged to different companies, they still appreciated and recognized each other’s character.

“Now that you two have met each other, things will be easier to handle.” Chen Yinghui suddenly looked at He Shen, “What do you think of my proposal just now?”

It seemed that before she and He Wei came, they talked about something related to her and Yu Jinlin.

She was a little curious, what kind of relationship did she and Yu Jinlin have?

“I wish to join “Flying Sky.” Yu Jinlin told Yun Xiangxiang herself.

“Ah?” Yun Xiangxiang was a little surprised.

“Do not worry. My age is not the age Xie Manliang wants for the heroine.” Yu Jinlin explained smilingly, “I am just a friendly cameo as Lu Rong’s girlfriend.”

Yun Xiangxiang was even more floored now. Not only is Yu Jinlin making a friendly cameo, she even picked an unpleasant character even though she did fit into that age range.

What was she after? If it was a role that could be added afterward, then it didn’t matter if she was a guest cameo. It could be considered an investment.

If “Flying Sky” did well, they could increase her screen time for the next step. If “Flying Sky” performed below expectations, she held no responsibility as a guest cameo.

But she chose such a role destined to have very short screen time in the first film.

“I have been training recently and have not come across any script that I want to accept. It happens that Old Chen wants to facilitate this cooperation, so I volunteered to join you.” Yu Jinlin explained to Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang wondered if they were in a kept relationship, the way she called Chen Yinghui – Old Chen so naturally and gently.

Moreover, when she saw them getting along in her past life, Yu Jinlin was repulsed by Chen Yinghui’s intimacy.

However, Yun Xiangxiang did not express it on her face, but smiled instead, “I could not ask for more to be able to learn from Sister Jinlin.”

At this very moment, Yun Xiangxiang finally understood why He Shen did everything possible to prevent Yun Xiangxiang from turning against The Era of Stars.

It turned out that Huan Yu Century Entertainment hoped that The Era of Stars would contribute to Flying Sky.

The two companies probably wanted to work together to create an iconic film series in China.

The Huan Yu Century Entertainment company could not carry such a feat on their own, or reach their desired height.

The funds, manpower, and material resources needed behind the scene were too great. If Huan Yu Century Entertainment managed to pull it off, it would be great. But if it could not be pulled off...

Moreover, Huan Yu Century Entertainment had put in all their effort to build up “Flying Sky.” They had a long-term goal, which was for the film industry of China. For the status of Huan Yu Entertainment, the short-sighted might think that Huan Yu Century Entertainment only favored Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu.

With the addition of Chen Yinghui, Yun Xiangxiang could also guess the reason behind it.

Maybe he wanted to make impressive results, and the other was that he didn’t want to gamble.

Of course, he could bet on this venture blowing up in Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s face and take advantage of it.

Another more terrifying result would be if Huan Yu Century Entertainment won. If that outcome were to come to fruition, then The Era of Stars would be under Huan Yu Century Entertainment for a very long time. They might even never be able to surpass Huan Yu Century Entertainment in the future.

They might as well work together and win together instead, dividing the world equally.

Even if they lost, their gain would be more significant than their losses. Both companies could still afford the losses. Neither of them would give the other a chance to rise above their heads.
