Rebirth of the Film Emperor's Beloved Wife-Chapter 107.3 - Distressed (3)

Chapter 107.3 Distressed (3)

A week after “War of Power” hit the theatres, total ticket sales surpassed 500 million. As an investor, Su Yanyi definitely earned a large sum while Qin Jiran as an investor all the more did not require a salary and also earned a lot.

For the crew’s celebration party, Guo Zekai tried his best to invite Su Yanyi to participate. Su Yanyi also did not reject him and made an appearance with Qin Jiran.

“President Su, Jiran, come over here, everybody’s been waiting on you guys.” Guo Zekai’s face was full of happy energy and seeing the two of them appear, it became even happier. His role as a director this time was also a big harvest, it could said that he truly gained fame and fortune.

Ticket sales for “War of Power” were really good and opinions on the movie were even better. It could already be confirmed that they would be nominated for the Starlight award. He, as director, had an even higher chance of earning the Best Director Award. His mood was truly especially good.

On the other hand, Qin Jiran was last year’s winner of the Starlight Best Leading Male Actor Award and this year’s film could help him become a consecutive winner of the award. The only thing that was a pity was the about female lead. However, Fan Linger didn’t mind as being able to appear in such a high-selling film was already beneficial for her.

It was just a bit of a pity, Guo Zekai saw Su Yanyi sitting down and curiously asked, “President Su, the movie will be sent to the Starlight Awards, but the name of the screenwriter hasn’t been revealed. What are your plans?”

This film had already hit the cinemas for a week but the name of the screenwriter still hadn’t appeared. It left him as the director and Qin Jiran as the supporting director with more than one job but if the movie was really sent to participate in the awards, based on the plot of the movie, there was a real likelihood of them being able to win the Best Screenwriter Award. Even if this mysterious, great screenwriter didn’t appear, he had to at least have a name right!

In reality, with regards to the screenwriter’s identity, Guo Zekai had already questioned Qin Jiran but Qin Jiran was also clueless, thus the situation was delayed till now.

“Just anyhow fake a name.” Su Yanyi casually mentioned. Upon hearing her words, the people around her were all dazed. Guo Zekai all the more could not even conjure up a wry smile as he looked at Su Yanyi. Anyhow fake a name? This was his first time running into such a situation.

“This wouldn’t be very good right?” Guo Zekai felt that coming up with things should be left to the screenwriters, especially the name of the screenwriter!

“There’s nothing bad about it.” In the first place such a name did not exist, what was not good about it. It’s not as if she could submit her own name right!

“President Su! You can’t be like this. A lot of people are eagerly anticipating the identity of this screenwriter. You don’t look online, a lot of netizens are all asking about this matter, not to mention there are reporters and fellow insiders asking. I can receive tens of calls asking about this in a day. Just do me a favour and tell me please, if not just telling me his pseudonym or his penname would suffice. You can’t actually announce that this screenwriter is anonymous right. I’ve also heard from Qin Jiran that he still has a lot of scripts, all of which don’t have a signature. They should all be written by the same group right? President Su, they can’t go anonymous all the way can they?”

Guo Zekai really had no other choice. Nowadays everyone wanted to be famous and those who managed to become famous had all gathered together but the screenwriter did not leave behind a single clue and those who’ve gathered could only look for the screenwriter. This gave him a headache, especially because a few directors in the same field were asking about this screenwriter, obviously looking for a good script to film. If he said he did not know, others would think that he had sentimental attachment and refused to tell them out of pettiness. Even if he cried out at this injustice, no one would believe him!

In actuality, he himself did not really believe that a director would not know his own screenwriter, but with a truth like this, he also had no choice!

Su Yanyi watched as Guo Zekai woefully sang his complaints and seriously gave it a thought. The songs and scripts given by the System, especially the current drama script and many more things, should have a name. If not, she’d have to face this same trouble later on.

“Let’s call the name of the screenwriter Perfect. If there are any questions with regards to the screenwriter just look for me directly.” Su Yanyi finally thought it through. Since it was from the Perfect Virtues Wife System, then let the name be Perfect, at least it sounded a lot more suitable than “Virtuous Wife”.

“Perfect? The screenwriter’s penname? President Su… this is something you just thought of on the spot isn’t it?” Guo Zekai felt helpless when he heard this name. It was obviously a fake name. What’s more, it was the name of a cosmetics brand. President Su was seriously just going through the motions!

“If you’re not satisfied then just think of a name yourself!” Su Yanyi’s face changed and she gave a cold look at Guo Zekai who immediately shut his mouth. The Queen’s gaze was too scary, this little one could not afford to offend her!

Qin Jiran laughed at the side. This was indeed very puzzling. It seemed that the existence of this screenwriter wasn’t a simple matter, could it be someone from the Su family? But according to how the Su family worked, even if it was someone from the Su family, they wouldn’t be this mysterious. Unless it wasn’t just someone from the Su family but someone who was extremely exceptional!

Qin Jiran was guessing but suddenly thought that his way of thinking was somewhat funny. What did it matter whoever this person was. In the end, it was Yanyi’s decision. Whatever it was, he would support it.

Thus, the screenwriter’s name was somewhat decided. Guo Zekai publicly announced this news after the celebration, after which, many people started looking for this Mr./Mrs. Perfect’s activities. However, even after looking, it seemed as if this person appeared out of thin air. There were no leads whatsoever. The only thing that was known was that this screenwriter known as “Perfect” had a mysterious relationship with President Su and probably only President Su knew who Perfect was.

Since it was a celebration, naturally a lot of alcohol was drunk. Su Yanyi did not drink the antidote this time around so all she could do was to put on a cold face and act profound. Aside from Guo Zekai, no one else dared to offer her a toast. Even if it was Guo Zekai, he was scared of Su Yanyi’s tolerance so all he did was to help pour the wine and after toasting one or two glasses, he continued drinking with Qin Jiran and the other crew members. Although Qin Jiran had a cold expression, his demeanour was not as intimidating as Su Yanyi’s and plus, he was a man and also the leading actor. Naturally, he could not be let off the hook. Under Guo Zekai’s lead, many people offered him a toast. Even though he drank it all with a cold face, he felt somewhat helpless inside, especially when he looked at Su Yanyi as if he was being wronged, as if he was asking Yanyi why she was just looking on without a care for him as he drank.

Actually in the beginning, Su Yanyi really was planning on running interference. If Qin Jiran drank too much, she would be the one to have to drive home! However, this way of thinking was quickly changed because of her memories. Thinking of the silly way this man smiled after drinking too much made Su Yanyi feel that occasionally drinking too much was still okay! At most she would just drive the car. It was just that she wasn’t willing to drive, not that she couldn’t drive!

Thus, the pitiful Qin Jiran could only put on a cold face as he was plied with alcohol. Who asked his esteemed wife to want to see his drunken state!

On the other hand, when everyone saw that Su Yanyi was neither unhappy nor did she put a stop to this, they all the more eagerly plied Qin Jiran with alcohol, resulting in Qin Jiran drinking a bit too much.

“Yanyi…” When he was 70% drunk, Qin Jiran could not resist but to tug at Yanyi’s hand. He was about to have drunk too much, why was Yanyi still pouring more wine for him? Shouldn’t she be stopping him? The Qin Jiran of this moment pitifully looked at Su Yanyi, his eyes carrying a look of being wronged and full of doubt and accusation.

Seeing this scene, Su Yanyi couldn’t continue maintaining a straight face and let out a laugh. In a low voice, she whispered beside Qin Jiran’s ear and said, “It’s okay, drink a bit more, I’ll drive us home.”

Qin Jiran’s expression became more pained and he couldn’t help but to drop his head down onto Su Yanyi’s shoulder. Holding Su Yanyi’s hand tightly, as if he was acting coquettishly, he said, “I can’t drink anymore, I feel a bit dizzy.”

For some reason, though she originally wanted to watch the fun, Su Yanyi suddenly felt a little bit of heartache. Stroking his forehead, she frowningly said, “Then don’t drink anymore. Shall I take you home first?”

Qin Jiran immediately lifted his head and looked at Su Yanyi with bright eyes, as if he was really happy, and nodded his head seriously and said, “En, go home!”

“Can you walk by yourself?” Su Yanyi stood up first and asked with a bit of worry as she looked at Qin Jiran.

“Can!” Qin Jiran stood very stably but his condition was obviously not very normal. His eyes kept falling on Su Yanyi’s person, completely ignoring the existence of everyone surrounding them.

“We’ll be leaving first. We’ll pass the matters here over to you.” Su Yanyi warned Guo Zekai. Seeing that Qin Jiran could walk by himself, Su Yanyi was more at ease. Besides Qin Jiran, there were a lot people who were lying flat on their stomachs or drinking near enough to end up in that state, all of whom required Guo Zekai’s attention.

“No problem, you can rest assured and leave. I’ll arrange everything properly and definitely not let them run into any problems!” Actually, Guo Zekai did not really want to let Qin Jiran go as he wasn’t dead drunk yet but looking at Su Yanyi’s frown, he really did not dare to hold him back. If Su Yanyi got irritated and also plied him with drinks, and he couldn’t outdrink her and ended up collapsing it would be even more embarrassing!

“Yeah.” Su Yanyi held Qin Jiran’s hand as they left. The two of them went to the carpark. On the way there, Qin Jiran walked very stably and did not cause Su Yanyi too much worry. However, Su Yanyi still kept an eye on him as she was scared that he’d knock into something.

Su Yanyi opened the car door and let Qin Jiran into the passenger seat first. She even helped him wear the safety belt before getting into the driver’s seat. Starting the car, they were on their way home.

On the road, Qin Jiran was well-behaved as he sat there quietly without moving though he kept looking at Su Yanyi eagerly and deeply. After looking, he would stupidly laugh to himself with his eyes curved and more than half of his white teeth being revealed.

Looking at the way Qin Jiran was being, Su Yanyi knew that he really had drunk a lot, if not he wouldn’t have revealed such a glorious and cute smile. His smile was full of warmth and innocence as if there were no impurities. It was as if just upon looking, one could experience his incomparably joyful mood. If this man knew that he could smile like this, the tips of his ears wouldn’t definitely turn red wouldn’t they?
