Chapter 52
Two days later, Sheng Jinyu attended the press conference for the film "Sound of the Lake".
Before the show started, the screen in the hall was playing the film's preview promotional clip in a loop.
Various media outlets have already flocked to the scene, each finding the best shooting position and waiting for a moment to grab the front-page headlines.
As one of the production investors, Sheng Jinyu was arranged in a very front position, right next to the main cast team on the other side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar face sitting among the leading actors, both male and female. Song Xiao had obviously seen him as well and shuddered with fear, probably because he was afraid that Sheng Jinyu would cause trouble for him because of the last incident where he was drugged.
The director and several people from the production crew came over and took a seat. He spoke in Cantonese and said with a smile that he would ask a few leading actors to come and meet him later. At least he wanted to let the big boss know where the money was spent.
Sheng Jinyu politely waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm just investing money. I want to see the profit. I won't interfere with your filming process."
The director laughed heartily and casually said, "Oh, by the way, the lead author of this film is a newcomer. The script is good and he has great potential. Lao Xiao recommended him to me. I wanted to bring him over to meet you last time."
"Maybe we'll work together more often in the future. I'm giving him a favor by giving him a helping hand. Would you like to meet him later?"
Sheng Jinyu knew that he was talking about Xiao Qingzhuo. In fact, he and Xiao Qingzhuo had a connection.
A famous screenwriter once made a documentary called "Interviews with 50 Celebrities from All Walks of Life". He was also a guest in one episode. The documentary was recorded during the heyday of Sheng Jin's racing career, when he won three consecutive championships.
Afterwards, Xiao Qingzhuo gave him a pair of calligraphy with eight large characters on it:
——The sky is high and the sea is vast, swift as the wind.
He had some good feelings towards this person, so it was okay for him to give him some face.
Sheng Jinyu nodded and agreed to go meet the person after the press conference.
After a while, the lights around dimmed, and after the host maintained order on the scene, a concept trailer began to play on the big screen. It was a clip shot separately to set the tone for the film before the official shooting began.
Sheng Jinyu was not very interested in these. He only vaguely knew that this time they were shooting a romance film, a major S-level project. He only cared about how much return he could get after the investment.
Halfway through the nearly two-minute clip, Sheng Jinyu vaguely understood that this was probably a story about secret love. The whole scene was filled with melancholic blues, which had a certain aesthetic appeal.
He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, frowning. It tasted very bad and was definitely not as good as the hand-brewed tea that Su He made for him.
He put down the teacup, and a monologue sounded in the background music beside his ears. The more he listened, the more familiar it seemed. His eyes fell on the screen, and Sheng Jinyu suddenly stopped.
The teacup at his fingertips fell over, and the remaining tea spilled onto the table, but the surrounding noise was too loud and no one noticed the chaotic scene.
On the screen is a piece of letter paper rendered with special effects. A hand holding a pen makes a rustling sound on the paper. It is a hopeless love letter written by the protagonist to his unrequited lover late at night. The words are simple, but the letter is written with great earnestness and seems to be full of deep feelings.
There were discussions around from time to time, but Sheng Jinyu seemed to hear nothing.
It was so familiar that he had read the letter dozens of times and could even memorize just a few lines.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world? How could the love letter Su He wrote to him be exactly the same as the one in this movie?
Could it be that... Su He copied it from the Internet! ?
Sheng Jin and Qiang calmed themselves down, changed their posture, and leaned back in their chairs, their fingers unconsciously groping for the teacup.
It’s okay, it’s okay. Even if the love letter was copied from the Internet, the feelings are real. Why would he still doubt Su He’s feelings for him now?
The press conference process was quickly completed, and there was inevitably a banquet and social events after it. When Su He was about to leave, he was surrounded by a group of people asking for his autograph.
He also didn't expect that many people in the crew had read his book and were his fans. The crew happened to have prepared some materials, so Su He signed his name one by one and distributed the materials.
As soon as I stood up from my seat, Xiao Qingzhuo came over.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet the investor." Xiao Qingzhuo patted his shoulder.
Su He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is it Sheng Jinyu?"
This time it was Xiao Qingzhuo's turn to be stunned. He smiled and said, "Do you know him?"
"The last time I met the teacher on the set, I followed Mr. Sheng. My job is his assistant." Su He smiled and followed him out.
Xiao Qingzhuo recalled the first time he met him. He thought that Su He was not a crew member, so how could he appear in the areas reserved by the crew? So that's it.
"I was wondering why you haven't been working with me for so long. It turns out you have a good and lucrative job that you can't leave!" Xiao Qingzhuo joked.
"It would be easy if you two knew each other. It would be nice if we could all have a meal together."
As they talked, the two of them walked into the banquet hall. Su He had wanted to tell Sheng Jin about this matter earlier, but after the incident at the hotel that night, he got busy and forgot about it.
Now is a good opportunity to tell him about his other identity. Su He always felt that Sheng Jinyu didn't seem to believe that he was a writer when they were on the boat.
As soon as he entered the venue, Su He saw Sheng Jinyu.
Even among a group of stars with outstanding looks, he is still a presence that can be seen at a glance. He stands in front of the champagne tower with a glass of wine and a cold expression on his face.
Su He hadn't seen Sheng Jin with a calm expression for a long time, and he almost forgot that he was actually a cold-tempered person.
After getting used to his evil smile, she felt a little uncomfortable with his cold and icy demeanor.
Xiao Qingzhuo took half a step ahead of him to greet Sheng Jin and the director, and then brought Su He out step by step.
Su He took a step forward and looked at Sheng Jinyu with a gentle smile on his face: "Mr. Sheng, let me introduce myself again. I am the original author of "Sound Pond"."
He saw Sheng Jin staring at him blankly, his eyes seemingly unable to bend. Xiao Qingzhuo and the director mentioned that they were acquaintances and started chatting in unison.
Su He thought Sheng Jinyu was just too surprised and didn't expect to see him here.
He moved closer to Sheng Jinyu, and there happened to be a piece of material left in his hand, so he stuffed it into Sheng Jinyu's hand with a smile.
I whispered to him, "Well, I wasn't kidding, was I? I'm a real writer, and you're half my financial backer now. This is for you!"
Su He felt that Sheng Jinyu's hand seemed to be trembling slightly.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale!"
He habitually tried to hold Sheng Jinyu's hand, but the other party dodged it without leaving a trace.
Su He missed and looked at Sheng Jin in shock.
Xiao Qingzhuo was still chatting with the director, occasionally patting Su He's shoulder. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, but Su He was staring at Sheng Jin and Mo Mo's faces in a daze, and several question marks slowly popped up in his head.
What did he do to offend this young master?
A few days later, Su He received a call from Assistant Fang, saying that the company suddenly became busy and there were a lot of things to do, so Sheng Jinyu rarely went back.
After he looked up Sheng Jinyu's schedule and adjusted it, he couldn't help but frown. It was too full. Didn't he leave any time for himself to rest?
Su He vaguely sensed that Sheng Jin was not in a good state. He didn't know who had made him in a bad mood, so he looked for an opportunity to approach him and deliver food or documents.
But Sheng Jinyu didn't see him, as if she was really too busy and didn't even have time to see him.
This is very abnormal.
Normally, even if he was in a bad mood and didn't want to see anyone, if Su He insisted on coming up to him, he would never chase him away.
But this time it was different, Sheng Jinyu seemed to be avoiding him.
Su He felt depressed and bit his lip. He didn't know what he had done. It seemed that he was the one who had offended Sheng Jinyu this time.
That night he finally waited for the person to come back, and coincidentally Su He was on the phone at that time.
Across from him was the carefree Shao Fei, his voice roaring: "Some of them are out on dates with their girlfriends. They value women over friendship, so we won't take them! But the timing is a bit coincidental, it's Valentine's Day, otherwise those guys would have ripped you off!"
Su He smiled and said, "It's my duty. Everyone has helped me a lot. If I hadn't been unable to adjust my schedule, I wouldn't have chosen this day. I'd make it up and get together again later."
He was a newcomer who was brought into this circle by Xiao Qingzhuo. He was destined to have a difficult time relying on himself. Shao Fei happened to be a professional match for him and introduced several brothers in the circle to him, including second-generation stars and second-generation directors, who really helped Su He a lot.
"Don't give me that. They are unlucky not to be able to enjoy the banquet hosted by the great writer Su. I will put together a yacht fleet tomorrow and take you out to sea!" Shao Fei shouted in a threatening manner, probably in a noisy place.
While Su He was on the phone, he vaguely felt someone opening the door and coming in. He knew it must be Sheng Jinyu who had returned, so he grabbed his phone and ran out from the side hall.
I didn't see anyone, but I heard a loud door slam. Sheng Jinyu didn't even stay for a moment, and just left like that! ?
Su He was a little panicked. He responded with a few words and hung up the phone. He hurried to the yard, but only saw the back of a car driving away.
He advised himself to think positively, maybe he forgot to bring something and turned back, but what could be so important that Sheng Jinyu had to go back to get it personally?
He waited until midnight, but no one came back. He then called Assistant Fang embarrassedly, like a wife worried that her husband might run away from home in the middle of the night.
Assistant Fang seemed to have been woken up from his sleep, and before he woke up, he subconsciously answered: "Young Master...?" He went home from get off work in the afternoon. He wouldn't stay in the company unless it was something important.
Su He's face darkened as he asked, "Didn't you say he was very busy? He didn't even have time to come back?"
Hearing Su He's cold voice, Fang Tezhu woke up with a start.
It's scary to see someone who never gets angry. Assistant Fang quickly tried to make amends, "Don't worry, Mr. Su. The company has been...very busy lately. The young master might have gone back to work overtime."
"I'm not taking you with me to work overtime?" Su He pressed on.
Special Assistant Fang was almost in tears. He didn't know what had happened between the two of them recently. Sheng Jinyu refused to say, and Su He obviously had other secrets as well. He was afraid that he would sell out his boss if he said something wrong.
Fang Cheng experienced the feeling of being lectured and questioned by his boss's partner in his lifetime.
He stammered and rambled cautiously, and Su He gradually calmed down. He could hear that Fang Cheng really didn't know the answer, so he stopped making things difficult for him.
"I'm sorry, I was a little anxious just now. He just came back and left again. It's late at night. Do you know where he would go?" Su He asked solemnly.
The boss is missing! ?
Fang Cheng was no longer calm and quickly got up and said, "It's been a long time since the young master disappeared without a word. Mr. Yan might understand better. I'll call him now..."
"No need," Su He interrupted him, "I'll fight."
After hanging up the phone with Fang Cheng, Su He dialed Yan Yichen's number instead.
