How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 539 - 247 Night Light Script_2

Sa Beining on stage was acting as an auctioneer for the first time, and after nearly two hours of shouting, he was utterly parched.

But the host’s professionalism had him persevering, and as he looked at the last item being presented on stage, he smiled and said, "This is the last item of the evening, provided by Mr. Sun of Tencent Film, the organizer of today’s event.

I’m sure everyone is dying to know what it is, aren’t you?"

Indeed, that was true...

Not just the stars and businessmen present, but also the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream were curious to know what it was...

After all, this was Tencent, a company with substantial business, and as tonight’s organizer, their finale auction item couldn’t just be something thrown together, could it?

Sa Beining was pleased with the reaction from the crowd and, after keeping everyone in suspense for half a day, finally spoke up.

"Seeing how curious everyone is, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer.

What Mr. Sun has offered is a script.

I believe everyone must be wondering, what’s so special about a script, right?

At first, I thought the same, but after seeing the item’s description, I realized this item truly is the most precious tonight!

Mr. Sun promises that the person who wins this auction can choose any role in this script, and if they pass the audition, they can play that role directly. This film is Tencent’s biggest investment project for 2025, a major production with an investment of up to 550 million!

The starting price is 1 yuan, everyone, please bid with confidence!

Lastly, let me reveal that the material of this script is very special; it has fluorescent properties, and even in the dark, you can see all the text clearly, highlighting an energy-saving, environmentally friendly feature."

As Sa Beining finished, a wave of surprise spread through the audience.

A major production script with an investment of 550 million, and one could choose any role after winning it?

Doesn’t that mean that by getting it, one could appear in this big production? Although there are many big productions in the film industry, there are certainly not many with an investment this large. Such a top-tier resource, who could refuse it?

But the focus of the live stream audience wasn’t on the words "550 million big production."

After all, for them, it didn’t matter much who acted in this film...

Their focus was on the "fluorescent properties"...

Isn’t this the "Night Light Script"?

You have to admit, it always has to be Tencent, the entertainment industry’s biggest capital, to play with any gimmick...

The last time the Night Light Script became hot, Liu Kaiwei and Yang Hanshu hadn’t divorced yet. Although they are now divorced, the main players—Yang Hanshu, and the leading lady of the Night Light Script, Wang Ou—are still here...

The cameraman also knew what to do...

The camera quickly turned to Yang Hanshu and Wang Ou. As for Liu Kaiwei, well, he was long out of the market on Mainland and had run back to Hong Kong Island; nobody knew his worth there, so he didn’t appear at this event...

Under the camera...

Yang Hanshu remained calm, not at all embarrassed by the gimmick being played.

Having been the queen of controversies for over a decade, there was little left that could embarrass her...

As for the other leading lady, Wang Ou, her complexion looked somewhat unsightly. Under normal circumstances, she would have probably left the event by now, but considering this was a charity dinner organized by Tencent, walking out at this moment would be a huge offense to the entertainment industry’s current biggest capital...

Tencent didn’t fear offending Wang Ou or Yang Hanshu.

But both women were afraid of offending Tencent...

Yang Hanshu was somewhat different; she had already become part of the capital and didn’t risk being banned, but Wang Ou, who at best was a second-tier star, would probably be erased from the entertainment industry tomorrow if she dared to make a fuss...

Gu Heng also knew about the "Night Light Script," and couldn’t help casting an amused glance at Yang Hanshu.

The entertainment industry really was quite entertaining...

Just stepping out casually, and you could catch up on all the gossip...

But Yang Hanshu’s reaction was not what the stars present and the audience in the live stream expected; instead of falling silent and trying to turn invisible, she directly bid 2 million—a high price that shocked everyone once again...

And Gu Heng found himself admiring this woman a bit...

No wonder she remains a top influencer in such a fiercely competitive entertainment industry, with controversies swirling around her for over a decade, yet she still occupies the spotlight...

This is purely a strategic retreat...

Spending a huge sum to acquire the script is a way to tell others that she doesn’t care about this matter.

Later, she can buy some paid articles to have marketing accounts promote her magnanimity and even ride the wave of public opinion Tencent created, absorbing some traffic in the process. Tencent will take the opportunity to promote their movie, and they are less likely to cross her, possibly even giving Yang Hanshu a boost...

A surefire win-win situation...

Looking at the other leading lady, Wang Ou, sitting there with a forced smile, it’s clear who’s superior. No wonder she has been in so many hit shows over the years and is still only a second-tier actress. When it comes to tactics and ability, she’s nowhere near Yang Hanshu...

And the stars present show no intention of bidding.

Even though they could pick any role, with Tencent’s dominance, they’d end up with an insignificant minor role at the end of the day—even after spending 2 million? And now, whoever bids is basically challenging Yang Hanshu, putting her in an awkward position. No one wants to do such a thankless task.

Though Yang Hanshu’s capital is not large, capital is capital. With this move, she’s created a significant gap between herself and other ordinary stars, and not many are willing to offend her over some "trumped-up" minor role...

In the end...

Under Sa Beining’s gavel, the Night Light Script was sold to Yang Hanshu for a high price of 2 million, bringing the charity auction to a close and moving on to the last item of the evening, charitable donations...

But Gu Heng had no interest in this part of donating; he had just spent 10 million on a dragon robe and wouldn’t bother with a donation, as no one could find fault in him for not doing so.

And since he’s not a celebrity, he doesn’t need to seize this opportunity for publicity. Under the organizer’s directions, he made his way to the hotel’s presidential suite...

Actually, Gu Heng prefers hotels to his home...

After all, home is always the same, and no matter how wealthy, you can’t just redecorate and change styles every other day, can you?

And as a man who enjoys novelty, the hotel has become Gu Heng’s first choice...

Since he’s gone out, he couldn’t be bothered to return, deciding instead to spend the night at the hotel. With many stars staying there tonight, there might be a chance encounter or something, as who knows for sure...

"Knock, knock, knock..."

As the door knocking sounded, a voice from the event staff could be heard.

"Mr. Gu, here are the items you won at tonight’s auction. Would you like us to keep and deliver them directly to your home, or would you like to take them with you?"

Gu Heng took a glance at the wooden box in the waiter’s hands and took it directly: "No need for that, just hand it over. I’ll try on the dragon robe myself, play a bit of Cosplay."

The waiter didn’t dare to disturb Gu Heng further and respectfully left after delivering the items...

And Gu Heng...

He hadn’t lied to the waiter; he really intended to try on the dragon robe...

If the dragon robe were an artifact, he might hesitate to wear it, but as a mere costume, there weren’t so many concerns.

Although he didn’t pay for it himself, it still cost him 10 million, so he might as well get some experience out of it, right?

Without assistance, it took him over ten minutes to don the intricate dragon robe; now, he stood before the full-length mirror, quite pleased with himself...

The dragon robe fit rather well. While he didn’t feel an emperor’s authority wearing it, it did suggest a bit of imperial presence...

Just as he was about to capture a short video to post on TikTok, the door was knocked on again...

Annoyed at the interruption, Gu Heng frowned as he walked to the door, puzzled to see Yang Hanshu standing outside on the monitor, but still opened the door with a somewhat distant expression.

Caught off guard by Gu Heng in the full attire of a dragon robe, Yang Hanshu was momentarily baffled, but quickly recovered, wearing a bright smile as she said, "I plan to rest at the hotel tonight, and hearing that Mr. Gu was also staying, I thought I’d come by to say hello. And perhaps discuss the script I’ve just won with you. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"

With that, Yang Hanshu took out the Night Light Script she held and waved it in front of Gu Heng...

This wave left Gu Heng bewildered...

What’s the deal?

Was the topic queen planning to recreate the Night Light Script’s scenario, staging a sequel to the script scenario 2.0?
