“Zheng Youcai, what are you doing?” Wang Qin quickly stopped him. she disapproved of his rash act. “Don’t rush into things. Just bear with it this time.”
“How can I not rush into things? Bear with it? How can I bear with it?” Zheng Youcai was about to go crazy from anger. “I want to ask Wu Yu what I did to him in college that he wants to target me like this!” He could not understand why Wu Yu wanted to make things difficult for him! Wu Yu was now a famous director. He didn’t lack connections and resources. Many people would invest if Wu Yu wanted to start filming a movie. But what about him? He had been poor for so many years. His first movie was finally going to be released after going through a lot of hardships. However, Wu Yu kept targeting him. Wu Yu wouldn’t stop until he was crushed into dust. This movie wasn’t just Zheng Youcai’s hard work! It was also the hard work of others. He had no idea what kind of deep hatred made Wu Yu keep making things difficult for him.
“Let him go,” When Wang Qin was about to stop Zheng Youcai, Shen Hanxing’s calm voice sounded. Her eyes were cold as she said, “since he wants to go, let him go. Why are you stopping him?”
“Mrs. Ji…” Wang Qin was in a dilemma. She frowned and stomped her feet. “Don’t say something like this now.”
“If Zheng Youcai insists on going, can you stop him?” Shen Hanxing said, “if you let him go, we will be on the news before the premiere ends. I have already thought of the headlines. Let’s say that the director of ‘Missing Girl’, Zheng Youcai, is jealous of director Wu Yu’s lively premiere next door and fights him. What do you think? That could also give Wu Yu a wave of fame for free, allowing more people to know about director Wu Yu’s movies. Of course, Zheng Youcai, if you can’t defeat Wu Yu, returned injured. As the executive director, you will be injured on the premiere day. How auspicious!”
Shen Hanxing was a little angry. Her cold eyes landed on Zheng Youcai. “Go now. Go before the premiere starts.”
Zheng Youcai knew Shan Hanxing was being sarcastic. His legs froze on the spot, and he looked gloomy. “I… I feel annoyed…” It was said that a sword was sharpened every ten years. He had prepared the movie “Missing Girl” for more than ten years. It was not easy for him to craft such a work. He did not fail in the most challenging creation period, the market’s indifference, or the audience’s rejection. Was he going to fail before he was about to succeed?
“What’s the point of feeling annoyed?” Shen looked away, and her voice was firm, “one can defeat ten with one’s ability. If Wu Yu wants to play tricks, let him do it. You rely on your work to speak. The premiere has not even started, and you want to ruin everything. Is that reasonable?”
“Of course, it was not reasonable, but do I still have a chance?” Zheng Youcai thought as he smiled bitterly. “Everyone is at Wu Yu’s side. I’m afraid there won’t even be anything at our premiere.” Zheng Youcai held his head and squatted helplessly and hopelessly on the ground. He said in a hoarse voice, “Without publicity, who would come to watch our movie?” It was the Internet era now, so there was no way for the audience to see it. What was the use of having a good movie? In the end, no one cared.
Zheng Youcai also wanted to rely on his speaking ability, but he was afraid he would not have a chance to speak. All these years, he had been roaming in the industry. It was not that he did not have any friends. Those who could attend the premiere would do it all for the sake of the past, but these people were not enough. Compared to Wu Yu’s overwhelming publicity, their movie was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, creating not even a ripple.
They fell silent. Shen Hanxing frowned, thinking of a way to resolve the situation. At this moment, Ji Yan, who had been looking down at his phone, suddenly lifted his head. He said calmly, “Five minutes later, Time magazine and S City television station reporters will be here. There will also be reporters from the entertainment morning and evening news…”
Zheng Youcai and Wang Qin looked at Ji Yan in disbelief. They were surprised. The few media and television stations that Ji Yan mentioned were all at the top in S City. Ordinary people would not be able to invite them. Even Wu Yu, who had a good reputation in the industry, couldn’t invite these reporters! Zheng Youcai didn’t think he could invite these reporters to their premiere. Was he dreaming?
“Mr. Ji…” Zheng Youcai’s hands were shaking, and his voice was trembling. “Are… Are you serious? This is not the time to joke…” He was about to cry.
