Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 129 - 129 Celebration Party

Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Celebration Party

“I’ll bring my wife with me; I don’t think my father-in-law will come,” Xu Yang said.

“Okay, see you then. Once it’s confirmed by you investors, the earnings will be distributed. We’re also preparing for ‘War Panther 2,’ and we’ll be allocating the investment quotas at that time,” Wu Jing said.

“Good,” Xu Yang replied.

The call ended.

That evening, when Zhao Yuxin got off work and came back, Xu Yang told her about the event and asked if she would like to go.

“Go? Of course, I’ll go. There should be quite a few female stars there; I need to keep an eye on you so that none of them can whisk you away,” Zhao Yuxin said with a smile.

“Those female stars, none of them are as beautiful as you. How could I be taken away? Besides, don’t you know what kind of person I am by now?” Xu Yang said with a wry smile.

“I know what kind of person you are, but I don’t know what those female stars are like. What if they throw themselves at you and you can’t resist? With me there, I want to see who dares to come at you. If anyone does, just watch how I deal with her.”

Zhao Yuxin bared her teeth, trying to look fierce, but it didn’t come off that way at all; instead, she looked rather cute.

“Alright, that’s settled then. I actually hope someone will come at me, just to see how you ‘deal’ with them,” Xu Yang laughed, holding Zhao Yuxin in his arms.

“You hope someone will come at you?” Zhao Yuxin’s eyes twinkled with a dangerous glint.

“Uh… What I meant to emphasize was that I want to see how you deal with them,” Xu Yang said, somewhat at a loss for words.

“Humph, you pass,” Zhao Yuxin hummed coquettishly and went into the kitchen to cook.

…

In the blink of an eye, the day of the celebration arrived.

Xu Yang brought Zhao Yuxin to participate.

Today, at the entrance of the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel, a long red carpet was laid out.

Barrier tapes on both sides of the red carpet were held by a large number of security personnel maintaining order, keeping the excited fans on the outside.

The success party of ‘War Panther’ wasn’t attended just by its main creative team.

With the explosive success of ‘War Panther,’ Wu Jing became incredibly sought after.

It could be assumed that at least for the next few years, Xu Yang’s directorial and acting career would not lack big production projects.

Whether directing his own films or starring in others.

Many stars came to support the event, including some very popular ones.

Many fervent fans were very interested in these stars’ appearances.

They had come early to catch a glimpse of their idols.

Many media journalists were invited to the celebration.

Many stars, directors, influential figures, and staff from the film industry walked down the red carpet amid continuous screaming from the fans.

The celebration could be said to have gathered many stars, directors, and industry bigwigs, almost resembling a mini-award ceremony.

Top female stars walking the red carpet drew the highest attention; their every grin, every gesture, and even the smallest wave of the hand elicited incessant screams.

As for the third- and fourth-tier stars, they didn’t get much attention.

One fourth-tier female star resorted to a flashy stunt by having the strap of her dress mysteriously come loose while walking the red carpet, revealing a lot of her pale skin and causing a buzz among the crowd, with media journalists frantically snapping photos.

No matter what, it was content.

The female star achieved her goal, and the media photographers reached theirs—a win-win situation.

However, those who become famous in such a way are doomed not to last.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin didn’t walk the red carpet; they quietly entered from the side after everyone else had.

Inside the celebration venue, Wu Jing was chatting merrily with others.

As soon as Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin entered, Wu Jing’s wife, Xie Bei, noticed them and hurriedly informed Wu Jing before the couple came over to welcome them.

In fact, before Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s arrival, Xie Bei’s main job was to look out for their arrival.

Even when speaking with others, she consistently faced the entrance of the venue.

Both she and Wu Jing were very clear on the importance of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was Wu Jing’s benefactor.

It could be said that without Xu Yang, there would be no Wu Jing as he is today.

The couple was extremely grateful to Xu Yang and would absolutely not allow Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin to feel the slightest neglect.

“President Xu, you’ve arrived,” Wu Jing walked over and immediately grabbed Xu Yang’s hand, appearing very excited.

Xie Bei was also greeting Zhao Yuxin.

After chatting for a while, Xie Bei led Zhao Yuxin away to meet other female celebrities.

Wu Jing, on the other hand, took Xu Yang to meet other investors.

The other investors had already walked the red carpet and entered earlier.

The conversation this time had smiles on everyone’s faces.

With the blockbuster hit of “War Panther,” they were set to make a fortune.

Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei also attended this celebration event.

They were in one corner of the venue.

It was Chen Guanglei who invited Zhao Yulu.

Zhao Yulu originally didn’t want to come.

Because Xu Yang, as the biggest investor of “War Panther,” was certain to attend this celebration.

Moreover, in line with Xu Yang’s character, he would bring Zhao Yuxin with him.

She didn’t want to meet with both of them.

But Chen Guanglei mentioned that many celebrities would attend the event.

Now, with the reputation of Jia Sheng Guild tarnished and Douyin’s official support withdrawn, resulting in a significant drop in the guild’s revenue…

Even after two months, when Douyin officially restored traffic, many viewers still looked down on Jia Sheng Guild.

Coming here presented an opportunity to meet with bigwigs from film production companies, discuss potential collaborations, and explore celebrity endorsements.

If celebrity endorsements were successful, traffic issues would no longer be a concern.

Celebrities bring their own traffic.

Plus, many viewers would buy products simply because of the celebrity’s fame.

The issue of viewers’ aversion to Jia Sheng Guild would also be readily solved.

It has to be said, while Chen Guanglei had not always been reliable, what he said made sense to Zhao Yulu.

As the deputy head of Jia Sheng Guild, Zhao Yulu also had an obligation to manage the guild well.

Therefore, she followed Chen Guanglei and came along.

“Yu Lu, with ‘War Panther’s’ huge success, I heard Wu Jing is already planning ‘War Panther 2.’ Many big investors are interested in investing, and the original investors of ‘War Panther’ are sure to be pushed out,” he said.

“Our Triumph Investments is a major shareholder of Starry Sky Films, a major company in the film industry, and there’s a possibility to get a piece of the action.”

“Later, I’ll introduce you to the boss of Starry Sky Films, mainly to meet him to discuss the matter of celebrity endorsements,” Chen Guanglei said, holding a glass of red wine and sharing the information he had obtained.

When he said the first sentence, a schadenfreude smile appeared on his face.

Xu Yang was an investor in “War Panther,” and if he couldn’t invest in “War Panther 2,” he would definitely feel very disappointed.

After all, given the popularity of “War Panther,” the box office of “War Panther 2” would likely be lucrative.

Thinking of Xu Yang being unable to invest in “War Panther 2,” Chen Guanglei felt quite pleased on the inside.

With the second and third sentences, his face showed a look of smug pride.
