Chapter 32 Chapter 32

The scene was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the emptied red wine glass.

Who was this young man?! And what was his relationship with Mr. Wen?

Why did Mr. Wen drink the toast he offered?

Many people looked subtly between Gu Xing Shi and Wen Yue.

Sun Hongfei had a feeling of "everyone is drunk, I alone am awake."

He knew it.

Mr. Wen wouldn't drink anyone else's toast, but he would drink Mr. Gu's!

But he still had some doubts in his heart.

Why just drink? Mr. Wen specially came to see Mr. Gu, shouldn't they be more intimate?

And Mr. Gu, seeing his significant other coming from afar to see him, why wasn't he excited at all, was the toast just a toast?

At this moment, he saw Wen Yue take a step forward.

Sun Hongfei immediately clenched his fists.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!

Is he going to hug Mr. Gu!!!

But the next second, he saw Wen Yue walk past Gu Xing Shi and out of the crowd.

The motherly smile on Sun Hongfei's face froze.

What happened?!

He followed Wen Yue's direction blankly, but saw him walking towards a man in a T-shirt and jeans.

The man was about thirty years old, with slightly long hair combed back with a headband, revealing a handsome yet decadent face.

Sun Hongfei inexplicably found the face familiar.

But he suddenly heard an exclamation from the crowd: "Feng Tingyun!!!"

Sun Hongfei was startled.

Feng Tingyun is a well-known genius director in China.

At the age of eighteen, he made his first film, which shocked the international community with its subversive story structure and bizarre and novel audio-visual language, winning several international awards.

In the next fifteen years, he made a total of nine films, each of which was a huge success, especially the one three years ago, which even won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, making his name known both at home and abroad.

Overseas renowned film critics called him "an unrepeatable genius director."

Because his film style is unique, his genius imagination and avant-garde lens language make all his films bear a strong personal mark.

As famous as his films is his personality.

Haughty, strange, and cold.

It is said that he hates social activities very much, and he doesn't even want to attend the wrap party of his own films.

Who would have thought that he would come to such an awards ceremony for a talent show.

Only Tang Ling, seeing Wen Yue's unsurprised look, suddenly realized.

He said that Mr. Wen would suddenly come to this awards ceremony, it turned out to be for Feng Tingyun.

As he guessed, Wen Yue walked straight to Feng Tingyun: "Hello Director Feng, I'm Wen Yue."

Feng Tingyun frowned slightly.

Wen Yue gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

Even though Wen Yue had restrained himself, the aggression he unconsciously emanated still made Feng Tingyun feel threatened.

They were like two male lions meeting in the wild.

The repulsion between the same kind, and the sense of danger to each other, unconsciously produced vigilance and uneasiness.

But compared to Feng Tingyun, who had already erected defensive thorns, Wen Yue was extremely calm and composed.

Feng Tingyun not only ignored Wen Yue, but also retreated half a step in disgust.

The onlookers immediately gasped.

Knowing that Feng Tingyun was arrogant, but they didn't expect him to be so arrogant!

Wen Yue didn't care.

He had known Feng Tingyun's personality, and he always had a lot of patience for such talented people.

Feng Tingyun is an important part of his plan to build an entertainment empire.

In order to win him over, Wen Yue had already prepared a comprehensive plan, and this small setback was also within his expectations.

But to his surprise.

When Feng Tingyun looked at him, he suddenly showed a surprised expression, then ran past him.

"Xing Shi!"

Feng Tingyun's shout directly startled Gu Xing Shi, who was engrossed in eating melons.

Feng Tingyun ran to him, his expression excited and joyful: "Long time no see!"

Gu Xing Shi was stunned.

It took him a long time to remember that the decadent man in front of him was the person involved in the first melon he ate after getting the melon-eating system.

At that time, he hadn't come to Beijing yet.

From the melon-eating system, he learned that Feng Tingyun was betrayed by his friend. The friend was jealous of Feng Tingyun's talent, and after being scolded by Feng Tingyun for leaking the script, he harbored resentment and devised a despicable plan to frame Feng Tingyun.

He took his son to see Feng Tingyun, and while Feng Tingyun was unguarded, he knocked him unconscious and took pictures of him and his son together to slander Feng Tingyun of child abuse.

No one would have thought that he would use his own son as bait, so once exposed, Feng Tingyun would be speechless, not only would his directing career and reputation be ruined, but he would also face imprisonment.

Gu Xing Shi naturally couldn't bear to see this, so he tried to remind Feng Tingyun.

Feng Tingyun didn't believe it at first.

After all, on one hand was a friend he had known for many years, and on the other hand was a stranger who was hiding his identity.

In order to gain his trust, Gu Xing Shi had to show himself.

Although Feng Tingyun was still half-believing, he still made preparations.

Then, as Gu Xing Shi said, his friend, in order to frame him, did not hesitate to destroy his own son.

With Gu Xing Shi's reminder, Feng Tingyun did not fall for the trap, but turned the tables on him, recording it with a camera he had prepared, and chose to call the police.

This friend was sent to prison, and the child's mother, after learning the truth, also chose to divorce him.

After Gu Xing Shi finished eating the melon, he deleted Feng Tingyun's account contentedly, then patted his butt and came to Beijing without any burden.

When Feng Tingyun finished dealing with these messy things, he couldn't find his benefactor when he wanted to repay his kindness.

If it weren't for the fact that he accidentally saw Gu Xing Shi's face on the video tonight, he wouldn't have known that Gu Xing Shi had already come to Beijing.

So he also went out immediately and crossed half of Beijing to attend this kind of banquet that he had always despised.

Facing his burning gaze, Gu Xing Shi put on his usual perfunctory smile.

Feng Tingyun, at this moment, had none of the arrogant and weirdness of a genius director, and enthusiastically chatted with Gu Xing Shi.

The onlookers gasped again.

Who is this young man!!!

Why did even Feng Tingyun come especially for him.

Sun Hongfei also put on a pained mask.

Just got rid of Ning Wen Zhuo, and now another Feng Tingyun!

Mr. Wen's love road has so many thorns!!

Wen Yue's gaze fell on Gu Xing Shi.

He had known before that Feng Tingyun had been looking for someone.

Tonight, he also suddenly received a message that Feng Tingyun was looking for someone to ask where the awards ceremony for "Boy Group Training Camp" was held. Although he was puzzled, he still came with a glimmer of hope.

He waited for a while, but Feng Tingyun didn't show up, and thought the message was wrong.

But unexpectedly, Feng Tingyun actually came.

And, contrary to his usual behavior, he was so enthusiastic towards such a young man.

Wen Yue's gaze was deep and thoughtful.

Tang Ling also saw this scene, he knew how much Wen Yue valued Feng Tingyun, so he quickly checked Gu Xing Shi's information and whispered it in Wen Yue's ear.

Wen Yue nodded slightly, and in a few long strides, he came to the two of them.

"Director Feng knows Mr. Gu?"

Feng Tingyun, who was originally chatting happily with Gu Xing Shi, was interrupted by Wen Yue. Although he was displeased, he only nodded barely: "Yeah."

Although he is arrogant and proud, he is not unintelligent.

No matter how much he dislikes Wen Yue, he can't repeatedly embarrass him, otherwise, wouldn't he be making an enemy for himself for nothing?

Wen Yue was unhurried, easily grasping the rhythm of the conversation.

The two of them, one is the head of the Wen family, the richest man, and the other is the internationally renowned director, both have a strong presence.

When the two talked, it seemed as if a barrier was naturally formed, and no one dared to approach within one meter, only Gu Xing Shi stood aside, as if he was in a daze.

The onlookers were both envious and speechless.

Such a high-level conversation, you actually stand aside and daydream, it's such a waste of resources!!!!

Gu Xing Shi didn't think that much.

He was daydreaming because he was listening to the system's gossip.

【……Although Wen Yue controls the Wen family, his aunts and uncles are not easy to deal with. They have been in Wen's for many years and have many chips in their hands. Wen Yue's success was partly due to his ability, and partly because they were fighting among themselves and did not take Wen Yue, the young nephew, seriously.】

【Now that Wen Yue has gradually established himself, they have also woken up and begun to turn their attention to Wen Yue. However, Wen Yue was already prepared and opened up the entertainment industry. His plan is huge, and he wants to build an independent entertainment empire. Sweet Orange Video, Star Glory Media, these are hardware facilities, and "Boy Group Training Camp" is the software part.】

【Wen Yue has long been eyeing Feng Tingyun, on the one hand to use Feng Tingyun's fame to seize the international market, and on the other hand, he is ambitious and wants to use this to enter the film industry. However, Feng Tingyun doesn't lack investment, people who want to invest in him can line up from here to France, he only has the right to choose, although Wen Yue is rich, but Wen's internal affairs are extremely complex, and he doesn't have any status in the film industry, Feng Tingyun is naturally not interested.】

……

As the system said, Feng Tingyun was not interested in Wen Yue's investment.

Wen Yue naturally realized this, he didn't waste any more effort, but turned his gaze to Gu Xing Shi: "Mr. Gu, do you have anything you want to say?"

"Ah?" Gu Xing Shi raised his head blankly, but saw Wen Yue and Feng Tingyun both looking at him.

What just happened?

Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin were originally having dinner with their teammates, and when they finished eating, they came to find their manager and saw him surrounded by Wen Yue and Feng Tingyun.

Cheng Xin didn't know the two, but Meng Yuan Sheng did.

And he also knew that his manager would often be absent-minded, usually it was nothing, but now facing two big shots, what if his attitude angered them?

He was anxious, about to step forward to help Gu Xing Shi out, but saw Feng Tingyun protectively blocking Gu Xing Shi behind him: "Mr. Wen, this is between us, it has nothing to do with Xing Shi, there's no need to involve him."

Meng Yuan Sheng: "!!!"

He had just arrived and hadn't seen Feng Tingyun's previous performance, and was immediately shocked.

Is this the legendary international director with a terrible temper? Could it be a case of mistaken identity!

The onlookers, however, were already used to it.

Although they didn't know the relationship between Feng Tingyun and Gu Xing Shi, everyone saw his special treatment of Gu Xing Shi.

Many people were already planning to get to know Gu Xing Shi after the awards ceremony ended.

Not to mention, with his relationship with Mr. Wen and Director Feng, he shouldn't be an ordinary person.

Besides, there was another small group of people hiding in the dark, watching with excitement.

Among them were the daughters of investors, girl group artists who came to see the world with the company, and agents and assistants from unknown families.

"Wow!! This is what kind of 2A fighting for 1O plot is this!!!"

"So exciting!!! Mom, the novel I read has come true!!!"

"Oh, Director Feng is so protective! The arrogant wolf king becomes a loyal dog for his love, ah ah ah ah ah so good to ship!!"

"I think Mr. Wen is even better to ship, the height difference, Mr. Wen's arm can directly circle Mr. Gu's waist, gently lift him up and lean him against the wall, then this and that..."

"Doesn't anyone ship double A strong strong?"

The few people who spoke suddenly stopped.

Then they glared at the person who spoke together: "AA love cult get out of danmei!!!!!"

"……"

Compared to those who were shipping crazily, Sun Hongfei was somewhat questioning life.

The conversation between Mr. Wen and Mr. Gu felt too distant, they didn't seem familiar at all.

One is a domineering CEO and the other is a manager, is their acting a bit too good, how are the artists below supposed to live?!

But if it's not acting, could it be…

They broke up!!!

Sun Hongfei felt his heart stop for a moment.

But the more he watched, the more he thought it was true.

Looking at their positions, Mr. Gu and Feng Tingyun stood much closer than Mr. Wen.

Even that vixen...no, Young Master Ning, stood closer to Mr. Gu.

Looking at the way they talked, Mr. Gu didn't even look at Mr. Wen.

Sun Hongfei became more and more terrified.

Oh my god!!

Don't play me like this!!

The promotion path he had finally found, is it just gone?!

And, if they really broke up, how should he treat Mr. Gu in the future!

If his attitude is too good, won't Mr. Wen be unhappy, affecting his career?

If his attitude is bad, if the two of them get back together in the future, he will be even more of an outsider, and it will affect his career even more!

Sun Hongfei was about to crack.

The turmoil around did not affect Gu Xing Shi in the center of the storm.

Compared to the two who were on guard, he naturally patted his stomach and said honestly: "I want to eat something later."

Gu Xing Shi was engrossed in eating melons before and didn't eat anything.

He had just drunk a glass of champagne with Wen Yue, and had been standing for a while, and he was already a little hungry.

Wen Yue's gaze fell on his face, as if trying to discern from his sincere expression whether he was feigning ignorance to divert the topic, or if he was really so carefree.

Feng Tingyun took the opportunity to end the topic and left with Gu Xing Shi.

Wen Yue had no extra expression.

But he didn't expect to be able to talk to Feng Tingyun in this short time, in fact, tonight's harvest had already exceeded his imagination.

He glanced at the two backs again, then said to Tang Ling: "Let's go."

After Wen Yue left, the onlookers who had been cautious also relaxed, and the gossiping voices became louder.

"I was scared to death just now, Director Feng is indeed a famous director, he has seen the world, if it were me in front of Mr. Wen, I would definitely be trembling, let alone giving him the cold shoulder!"

"To me, isn't Mr. Gu the most amazing? He didn't fall behind in front of the two big shots, his calm and composed appearance is really admirable!"

"I heard that Mr. Gu is the new boss of Le Shi, the artists who got first and second place in "Boy Group Training Camp" are from his company. I originally thought it was luck, but now I see that Mr. Gu's courage and skills, what can't he achieve!"

"It seems that we should develop more cooperation with Le Shi in the future..."

……

Gu Xing Shi took some food and walked with Feng Tingyun to a quiet corner.

Without those people rushing to get acquainted, both of them relaxed.

Feng Tingyun couldn't help asking: "Xing Shi, how did you come to Beijing?"

Gu Xing Shi's relationship with Feng Tingyun was quite good before, so he didn't hide it and told Feng Tingyun about receiving his distant uncle's will and taking over Le Shi.

Feng Tingyun frowned.

He had never heard of Le Shi's name, thinking it was some unknown small company, so he said: "If you need my help, just tell me."

Feng Tingyun's personality is clear-cut.

Love makes one want them to live, hate makes one want them to die. If he approves of a person, he will be wholeheartedly good to him.

His words were a weighty promise.

Gu Xing Shi had asked Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin, and both of them liked the stage more, and they didn't feel much about most idols going to film.

For other companies, they would definitely force the two to act in order to make money.

However, Gu Xing Shi didn't have much pursuit of material things, and he also liked to see the two of them fighting for their dreams, so he never thought of forcing them.

Therefore, he was indifferent to this promise that people in the circle would be envious of.

The two of them chatted while eating.

Naturally, they talked about what had just happened.

Feng Tingyun also explained frankly: "I have a new project recently, which is going to be submitted for international awards, and many people want to get a share of the pie, money is not that important, it's just that I have a unique temper, if the investors make too many demands, I'd rather not cooperate."

The system also said to Gu Xing Shi: 【Feng Tingyun had a nickname before, called the "dictator on set", it is said that when he is on set, even the producer can only listen obediently, and the investors even more so, besides giving money, they cannot make any demands, otherwise they will be kicked out of the cooperation sequence.】

【Currently, Feng Tingyun's partners are those who have cooperated with him for many years, especially Yi Nan Film and Television, but the new president of Yi Nan Film and Television has recently taken office. He is the son of the chairman, and has studied abroad for many years. He is very unhappy with Feng Tingyun's dictatorial behavior. Moreover, Feng Tingyun, in order to protect his own right to speak, is very impolite in the contract. It's okay if the box office explodes, but Feng Tingyun's last movie was well-received but didn't sell well, Yi Nan Film and Television didn't get much benefit, the president of Yi Nan is even more unhappy with him.】

【It is said that he is already uniting with several other investors to give Feng Tingyun a lesson, using investment to choke his neck, forcing Feng Tingyun to bow his head. Coincidentally, Feng Tingyun's film is also a well-received but not well-selling award-winning film, and several other investors are also dissatisfied, and their attitude is very ambiguous.】

Gu Xing Shi frowned.

Feng Tingyun noticed his expression and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Gu Xing Shi thought for a while and asked: "How is your relationship with the president of Yi Nan Film and Television?"

"You mean Deng Haiyue?" Feng Tingyun said indifferently, "It's so-so, he studied abroad and got his brains all messed up. He keeps nagging at me, he knows nothing about film!"

If it weren't for the years of cooperation with Yi Nan Film and Television, Feng Tingyun would have changed partners long ago.

Gu Xing Shi said pointedly: "From what you mean, he is quite petty, if your film's funding is cut off by investors in the middle, it should be very troublesome, right?"

Feng Tingyun's expression suddenly became serious.

If someone else said this, he might not take it to heart, but Gu Xing Shi said it, there must be a reason.

Feng Tingyun didn't forget that it was Gu Xing Shi's reminder that saved him from his friend's betrayal and the outcome of his career being ruined.

He just thought, if the funding was cut off during filming, the film might not be able to be completed on time, unable to catch up with the award cycle, and even the box office would be greatly affected.

This is not just a matter of one film, it will even affect his subsequent filming plans, the losses are immeasurable.

His expression became more serious.

Gu Xing Shi seeing this, asked: "What? Is it very difficult? Did you...already sign a contract?"

"That's not it." Feng Tingyun hesitated for a moment, but still said his worries, "The start-up time is very tight, if the investor is changed temporarily, it is also difficult to find a suitable one."

Gu Xing Shi: "Do you want me to recommend?"

Feng Tingyun was a little embarrassed, he was always confident and autocratic, and rarely asked for others' opinions.

But Gu Xing Shi was different, his judgment was always surprisingly accurate, and Feng Tingyun also trusted him.

Gu Xing Shi scratched his cheek.

He had no knowledge of these companies in the circle, but Feng Tingyun only needed an investor who had plenty of money and didn't interfere too much, and he did have an answer in mind.

He asked: "Why don't you consider Wen Yue?"

Feng Tingyun was stunned, and then frowned.

The aggression on Wen Yue made him repulsive, let alone cooperating with him.

But Gu Xing Shi said this…

He pondered for a moment and asked: "Why do you think he is suitable?"

Gu Xing Shi thought about the melons the system said, and said: "He is ambitious and has a strong desire for control, but he always focuses on the big picture and leaves the details to others, and he respects professionals in specific matters. Moreover, Wen's is rich but lacks influence in the film industry, and you complement each other..."

……

Sun Hongfei dejectedly walked towards the balcony.

Thinking that Mr. Wen and Mr. Gu might have broken up.

His promotion path is gone.

His heart ached like a knife.

Especially listening to the crowd at the banquet talking about Mr. Gu, it was like stabbing knives into his heart.

He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he planned to find a quiet corner and sit alone until the banquet ended.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, he heard a familiar voice.

"Why don't you consider Wen Yue?"

It's Mr. Gu!!!

He immediately dared not move, listening to Feng Tingyun's question.

Feng Tingyun obviously didn't like Mr. Wen very much, he could hear his dislike just from his voice.

Then he listened to Gu Xing Shi clearly analyzing for him.

It was analysis, but every word was saying good things about Mr. Wen.

His words revealed his familiarity with Mr. Wen, who would believe it if it wasn't lovers!!!

Sun Hongfei's broken heart was slowly being put back together.

Wuwuwuwu, they still love each other!!!

Sun Hongfei cried with tears streaming down his face.

His career is saved!!!
