Two hundred million? Is that a lot?
Shi Luoyin asked in return.
She genuinely didn't understand it, but to others, it certainly sounded like Versailles.
Chen Sheng snorted: "Two hundred million is indeed not much, but the fact that we've already garnered so much attention before we even started airing is unprecedented. Tonight is the premiere, let's see how many tickets we sell!"
The film "Shadow" has garnered a lot of attention.
Although it was just a period drama, it was filmed in a primeval forest, so all the official departments in the north of the city were promoting "Yin".
It's not just this official organization; the Hope Primary School donated by Shi Luoyin is also being promoted by the authorities.
Adding to the buzz surrounding Shi Luoyin's recent incident, this is the perfect opportunity to generate buzz. This is Shi Luoyin's first movie where she plays the lead role, so fans and haters alike will all be there to see it.
The opening weekend box office is a given.
The press conference began, and the audience was filled with media. The host completed the procedures one by one.
Everyone cooperated very well, including Shi Luoyin.
When it was the media's turn to ask questions, the first reporter was particularly sharp.
"Ms. Shi, I would like to ask, where did you get so much money, or who is behind you?"
This question from one media outlet piqued the interest of the others.
After all, everyone is curious.
Qing Chen looked at Shi Luoyin with concern. Shi Luoyin smiled slightly: "Hey, why do you keep asking this? I already explained it. I inherited a huge fortune. Besides, behind me is, of course, my motherland."
Shi Luoyin was not angry at all; instead, she smiled and retorted.
The media followed up: "So, whose estate did you inherit?"
"Huh?" Shi Luoyin looked surprised: "The way you asked that is as presumptuous as if I were asking you if you have any illegitimate children."
"Hahaha!"
Shi Luoyin's words successfully made the whole audience burst into laughter.
The media personnel were somewhat excited, but they still wanted to keep following up. After all, if they could uncover this earth-shattering secret, their lives would be smooth sailing!
"Alright, today is the press conference for 'Shadow,' not a private press conference, so please ask any questions you have about the movie, otherwise we may ask you to leave."
Chen Sheng was very tough.
After all, press conferences are just a formality now; they don't need media hype anymore.
Since the director had already spoken up, everyone had no choice but to ask some irrelevant questions.
The press conference ended rather abruptly.
Just as Shi Luoyin was about to leave, Qing Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Brother Chen? What's up?"
"Luo Yin, are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner," Qing Chen asked somewhat nervously.
【Host! He definitely likes you!】The system suddenly shouted excitedly in Shi Luoyin's mind.
The sound was so loud that Shi Luoyin's head was buzzing.
"Ah, let's eat! Okay."
Inviting someone to dinner is like getting a free meal.
Shi Luoyin just loves things that are free.
"good!"
Qing Chen smiled, a smile that was absolutely radiant.
On the top floor of the tallest building in the capital, Shi Luoyin and Qing Chen sat opposite each other. The simple meal was the equivalent of a year's expenses for an ordinary family.
This is the most expensive restaurant in Beijing.
"Is it good?" Qing Chen didn't eat much; he just watched Shi Luoyin across from him eating haphazardly with a gentle smile.
Shi Luoyin looked up at Qing Chen, then nodded: "Delicious."
Everything's free and delicious!
However, the system didn't seem very happy. It kept inputting the idea that all men are scumbags and no one is any good in Shi Luoyin's mind.
[Host, don't be fooled by Qing Chen's seemingly good appearance. He might be a psychopath behind the scenes. You must be careful; no man is a good one.]
"System, you're like an old lady, your nagging is so annoying."
Shi Luoyin didn't understand why the system was so agitated: "I've already said it, I don't like men."
The system instantly relaxed.
"Then eat more."
He's just like an old father.
When she had almost finished eating, Shi Luoyin slowly stopped.
Looking up, I saw Qingchen's affectionate gaze.
They looked at each other for two seconds.
Shi Luoyin suddenly spoke: "You like me??"
Qing Chen was taken aback, and then a shy expression appeared on his usually composed face.
"Yes... I know we might be a bit too old, but I really like you. I will take care of you. Please give me a chance to pursue you."
Qing Chen looked at Shi Luoyin earnestly and spoke with utmost sincerity.
The system is getting really anxious.
Shi Luoyin, however, remained looking at Qing Chen without speaking.
Qing Chen quickly waved his hand, and the waiter immediately brought over a bouquet of roses and placed it next to Shi Luoyin.
"I don't know if you like roses, but everyone online says that you should start a confession with a bouquet of flowers, so, Luo Yin, can you accept my flowers?"
Shi Luoyin finally reacted.
She looked down at the ninety-nine roses.
"Is this for me?"
"yes."
Qingchen nodded repeatedly. For the first time in his more than thirty years of life, his palms were sweating with nervousness.
"But, Brother Chen, I don't like men."
Shi Luoyin's words froze Qing Chen's smile on his face.
"What did you say?!"
He never expected that Shi Luoyin's reason for rejecting him would be that she didn't like men.
"Luo Yin, I know I might have been abrupt this time, but you didn't need to use that as an excuse to reject me, did you? Do you like women?"
Shi Luoyin continued to shake her head: "No, I don't like it either."
"So what do you like?"
Shi Luoyin rested her chin on her hand and suddenly smiled: "What do I like? I like a prosperous motherland! I want all my citizens to live healthy and affluent lives!"
Qingchen's face darkened.
"I see."
Qing Chen was somewhat annoyed. Looking at Shi Luoyin, he felt as if she was making up an excuse for rejecting him, and a lame one at that.
He stood up abruptly: "I know you don't like me, and I don't want to hear this excuse. I'm a little emotional right now, so I'm leaving first. I've already paid for everything here, so you don't need to worry."
Qing Chen finished speaking quickly, then picked up his suit and strode away.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control of his emotions.
As Shi Luoyin watched Qing Chen's departing figure, her smile gradually faded.
[Host, you like him too?]
“I don’t like him, but I like flowers.” Shi Luoyin reached out and stroked the large bouquet of roses, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"I've never received flowers in my entire life."
【。。。】
For a moment, the system didn't know how to offer any words of comfort.
