Therefore, when Song Yihe announced his new movie shooting plan, and the two female leads were Meng Fangfei and Shen Wangshu, it did attract a lot of attention.

Song Yihe held a press conference with great pride, his chubby belly sticking out as he looked particularly pleased with himself.

Shen Xuan agreed to invest 80 million, which was much less than what he had promised before, but he was still very satisfied.

A modern suspense drama doesn't really need a lot of money. Anyway, President Shen promised him that when he shoots a special effects fantasy blockbuster and asks his daughter Shu Shu to play a fairy, President Shen will hire a Hollywood special effects team for him!

However, with Director Song in high spirits, the reporters weren't so polite or friendly. One reporter, who looked quite young, stood up and asked, "Director Song, it's said that your films have all flopped in recent years. Why did you have the courage to make such a niche film?" Suspenseful detective dramas are indeed a niche genre. Although Song Yihe had a feeling this film might be a hit, Director Song was a veteran of film flops, and the quality of his scripts was hard to predict. Shen Wangshu was also sitting on the stage as the main character today; lacking the seniority, she sat to the left of Meng Fangfei.

Song Yihe's smug expression froze.

He cursed inwardly, wondering who had sent such a newbie to interview him. Wasn't this a slap in the face to Director Song? At that moment, he chuckled and said, "I have confidence in this film."

Shen Wangshu and Meng Fangfei suppressed their laughter and applauded, showing their support for Director Song.

"Fighting on despite repeated defeats, right?" The young reporter was immediately moved by Director Song's indomitable spirit.

Director Song's facial expression was quite interesting.

"Shushu and I are very optimistic about this film." Song Yihe is not young anymore. If he gets sick from anger, will the film still be made? With the professional spirit of not letting President Shen's investment go to waste, Meng Fangfei took the microphone and said with a smile, "Director Song has put a lot of effort into this film over the years."

She ignored the fact that the script was completed in just two months and blatantly lied, saying, "Shushu and I both watched Director Song working hard on the script, and we both read it. We both think it's very suitable for us and for the audience."

"Those previous movies were just warm-up and preparation for this film by Director Song. They're going to be amazing and you won't want to miss them." Shen Wangshu made a peace sign and tried her best to look cute.

However, she was too stunningly beautiful, and today she was wearing a neutral-style outfit, so her attempt to be cute wasn't very successful. Only Shen Xuan, sitting below, clapped his hands in a very accommodating manner.

At the upcoming press conference, President Shen sat upright with a blank expression and clapped his hands crisply.

The reporters paused for a moment, looking at the handsome, aloof, and seemingly wealthy man with complex expressions.

"Shushu is right," Shen Xuan said calmly.

Meng Fangfei's lips twitched, and she whispered in Shen Wangshu's ear, "This is truly a case of the wife singing in unison with the husband." Who else would fawn over their wife like this? Shen Xuan didn't seem embarrassed at all, and Meng Fangfei didn't know what to say.

Shen Wangshu's smiling eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan, who was supporting her in his own way, and she couldn't hear what Meng Fangfei was saying.

However, this interruption made Song Yihe feel like he had come back to life. He chuckled and invited the annoying little reporter who had sabotaged him to sit down, then pointed to two reporters who seemed experienced and on good terms with him to ask questions, and sure enough, there were no more problems.

However, there were some discordant topics at the press conference. Towards the end, an impolite reporter stood up and asked Shen Wangshu, "Ms. Lü, before you could only play minor roles in some melodramatic dramas, but since you married President Shen, you have been able to play important roles, and now you are the female lead in Director Song's movie. Is your success all due to President Shen's support behind the scenes?"

The previous interview program has already aired, and many people have paid attention to the interaction between Shen Wangshu and Shen Xuan. Those who are observant will naturally notice this issue.

Shen Wangshu was able to play an important role only with Shen Xuan's support.

“My success is due to my husband’s support, of course.” Shen Wangshu’s smile remained unchanged as she said, “However, do you really think that Director Song was just looking for money and didn’t choose a role at all? I got this role because I have the ability.” She winked shamelessly and asked, “The Consort’s performance was not good? But that’s not what the audience said.”

Her answer was witty and charming, yet also composed and poised, immediately eliciting quiet praise from onlookers.

The reporter hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat reluctantly, "I heard that Miss Lü dated Zhou Chen?"

"Do you have a boyfriend right now?" Shen Wangshu asked abruptly.

"This has nothing to do with the press conference, right?"

"My romantic history has nothing to do with the press conference," Shen Wangshu said with a smile.

That reporter, whoever got paid by someone, is trying to stab her in the back; he's far from being a real expert.

"That's right, this is my movie launch." Director Song was feeling a little guilty. After all, he had cast Shen Wangshu as the imperial concubine for funding, not because she had any acting skills. But at this moment, it was best not to talk about such unpleasant topics and let bygones be bygones.

He was somewhat annoyed with the young reporter, but with a smile, he took the microphone from Shen Wangshu and cleverly steered the conversation back to his film. He was a seasoned veteran, no doubt, but he'd been a flop for too long; the reporters had already asked all the polite questions, and now he and Director Song were just staring at each other.

While listening to the reporters' questions with his eyes down, Shen Xuan waved to Zhang Tongzhou, who was sitting next to him.

Mr. Zhang, the general manager of Starlight Entertainment, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
