Chapter 23 The Movie King
"Can't even handle it?"
Fang Lanxin fiddled with her nails for a moment, looking somewhat disgusted.
"What rubbish."
Ling Ye glanced at the rearview mirror with some surprise, clearly not expecting that Fang Lanxin, with such an elegant appearance, could hide such a filthy mouth.
He coughed, blushed slightly for some reason, and whispered, "Madam, where should we go now?"
"Let's go to the film and television base."
Fang Lanxin replied calmly.
Her desire for the newspaper for the fourth branch of the family was not a whim, but rather because she also planned to invest in the entertainment industry.
No matter the era, entertainment is always the most profitable industry. Since she was going to give up the Huo family's businesses, Fang Lanxin would definitely have to find another way.
She possesses memories of her past life, so she naturally understands where her investment priorities lie.
However, investing shouldn't be done rashly. Fang Lanxin still needs to go to the film and television base to take a good look and find some potential stocks.
Ling Ye didn't understand why Fang Lanxin would go to the film and television base if she had nothing better to do, but he still obediently started the car and headed towards the film and television base.
In this era, most people working at film and television bases are physically strong and rely on their real skills.
Fang Lanxin got out of the car and walked inside. Normally, outsiders were absolutely not allowed to enter such a place.
But Fang Lanxin is not an outsider; she is capital, the wife of the Huo family. Wherever she goes, she should be able to walk on flat ground.
Upon entering, the director immediately went to Fang Lanxin, bowing and scraping: "President Fang, you've arrived?"
Fang Lanxin nodded and sat in front of the monitor with a blank expression, watching the actors' performance.
This is a tragic scene, and the male lead's emotions are very well portrayed; he even cries with genuine feeling.
Just watching this scene was enough to deeply move Fang Lanxin. She smiled and was very satisfied with the actor's performance.
In this day and age, you have to rely on your own real skills to do anything, especially in the acting profession, which is already looked down upon. If you don't work hard and can't make it, then you'll be in even more dire straits.
After the scene ended, Fang Lanxin nodded in satisfaction: "That person's acting was quite good. What's their name?"
"Mr. Fang, this is Lu Chen, the movie star who's been all the rage lately!" the director introduced with a smile.
Fang Lanxin had no involvement in the entertainment industry, so she didn't know this person at all. However, his acting skills were worthy of the title of Best Actor.
"Okay, I'll go talk to him."
Fang Lanxin nodded, got up, and walked towards Lu Chen's lounge.
If you want to start your own film and television company, you need to have a few capable people. Lu Chen is one of Fang Lanxin's targets.
Fang Lanxin stood at the door of the lounge, pushed it open, and went in. She saw Lu Chen covering his face with his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
Is this... still not out of character?
Fang Lanxin stepped forward, handed her a handkerchief, and said gently, "Don't cry, you acted very well."
Lu Chen looked up in disbelief, his red eyes meeting Fang Lanxin's gentle and loving gaze.
Almost instantly, Lu Chen felt a long-lost warmth and kindness emanating from this person.
He instinctively hugged Fang Lanxin's waist and burst into tears again.
Fang Lanxin was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to push him away, but Lu Chen was crying so sadly that she softened and gently patted his head.
"It's just a show, don't cry."
"Wipe away your tears. You're still a dazzling superstar, okay?"
Fang Lanxin's voice was deep and gentle, as if she were coaxing a child, and the faint scent of gardenias emanating from her was even more alluring.
Lu Chen was unable to calm his emotions for a long time, but he still remembered the taste vividly.
Who are you?
Lu Chen finally let go of Fang Lanxin, awkwardly took the handkerchief she handed him, wiped his tears, and pitifully asked her what was wrong.
"I am Fang Lanxin."
"This is my business card."
Fang Lanxin handed over a business card, looking at Lu Chen with tenderness.
"I'm currently preparing to start an entertainment company and I look forward to your joining me."
Fang Lanxin met his red rabbit eyes and felt a pang of tenderness. She reached out and gently rubbed his head before turning and walking outside.
It took Lu Chen a long time to come to his senses. He gently touched the top of his head and lowered his head shyly.
"It tastes like mom's cooking."
Lu Chen hugged himself, inhaling the lingering scent of gardenias on his body, and murmured to himself.
Ling Ye stood by the car, waiting for Fang Lanxin to come out. His gaze fell on the dampness on her shirt, and he frowned: "Madam, what happened?"
"It's nothing, I just ran into a crybaby."
Fang Lan thought of Lu Chen crying, and unconsciously smiled, her eyes becoming even gentler.
Lingye sensed something unusual almost instantly.
His face turned sour, and he then grabbed a towel from the car and vigorously wiped Fang Lanxin's shirt.
"The dogs outside are filthy!"
"Madam, you must be careful from now on!"
Fang Lanxin watched his violent movements and felt his anger. She couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to touch his big, wavy hair.
"Get on the bus, let's go home."
The word "home" calmed the irritable Ling Ye almost instantly.
He immediately became overjoyed, wagging his tail like a puppy. He opened the car door, let Fang Lanxin get in first, and then started the car and drove back to the villa on the hillside.
Lingye was in a good mood throughout the journey, and even whistled casually.
As Ling Ye whistled joyfully, Fang Lanxin's mood also brightened.
The harmonious atmosphere was completely shattered the moment Ling Ye saw Guan Yu!
Ling Ye's eyes were sharp and rebellious, filled with intense dissatisfaction.
He couldn't understand why there were so many stinking flies around his wife!
"Second Master is here?"
When Fang Lanxin saw Guan Yu, she greeted him with a smile.
She placed her hands on Guan Yu's shoulders, blinked at him, and asked, "Second Master, what brings you here? How long have you been here?"
"Stand still."
Guan Yu frowned slightly, took her hand off his, but couldn't bear to let go, so he held her hand and walked into the villa together.
"How's it going with the Huo family?"
Guan Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Lanxin, but he himself did not realize the concern and urgency in his words.
He didn't realize it, but Fang Lanxin did.
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow, looked at Master Guan with a smile, and said in a coquettish tone, "They are fierce and ruthless, and they have been bullying me. Master Guan, you must stand up for me!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu knew that Fang Lanxin was definitely playing tricks on him.
