Chapter 765: Could They Really Be Together?

Yan Qing continued to ask, "Do you think this movie will be a big hit?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Whether a movie makes money or not depends on the script to some extent, but marketing is the key."

"As long as the marketing is good, even if you film a pile of crap, it can still make a decent amount of money."

Yan Qing gave a thumbs up, "As expected from a businessman, your thinking is indeed smarter than others."

As the movie began to play, Chen Fan started speaking while watching the opening credits.

"Actually, the movie business is quite a gamble. If you're lucky, one movie could make more profit than a listed company does in several years. If you're unlucky, you might lose everything..."

Yan Qing joked, "I have faith in you. At least so far, I haven't seen you make a losing deal."

"Thank you for your confidence in me."

Yan Qing asked again, "By the way, there's a celebratory cocktail party after the premiere. Your company sent invitations to all of us. Are you going?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "I won't show up. You know me, I prefer to keep a low profile."

Yan Qing nodded, "Then I won't go either."

"I was originally thinking of going to see if I could pick up an actress, but then I thought about how the biggest actress in this movie and you..."

At this point, Yan Qing suddenly glanced at Gao Xiaoxi and wisely stopped talking.

Gao Xiaoxi kept staring at the movie screen, pretending not to hear the two men's idle chat.

But in fact, her ears were perked up, eavesdropping.

Especially the last unfinished sentence from Yan Qing, which immediately made Gao Xiaoxi's nerves tense up.

Who was he talking about?

Was it Wen Wan?

Judging from how Wen Wan was chatting with her brother-in-law earlier, the two seemed very familiar, not at all like the relationship between a boss and an employee.

Although Chen Fan had watched "The Myth" in his previous life, he quickly became engrossed in it again this time.

This was a typical commercial film with very good pacing.

Plus, with Chen Fan's additional investment, the funding far exceeded the investment in his previous life, which gave the director more room to showcase his skills.

At least in many of the grand scenes, they achieved higher quality filming.

The plot of the movie was actually very simple. Jackie Chan played General Meng Yi, escorting Princess Yu Shu played by Wen Wan back to her country. They were ambushed, and the general and princess developed feelings for each other...

Especially the scene on the mountaintop where Wen Wan, playing Princess Yu Shu, danced for General Meng Yi, was absolutely beautiful.

When the scene appeared, there were even gasps of admiration in the theater.

However, as the movie entered the second half, the audience's emotions were stirred up.

General Meng Yi died in battle, and Princess Yu Shu entered the Terracotta Army tomb. For the sake of General Meng Yi's promise, she waited alone in the dark underground world for 2000 years.

Until the end of the movie, Jackie Chan's modern-day character accidentally entered the Terracotta Army tomb.

Just a moment ago, the audience was moved to tears as the two finally met and embraced after going through so much hardship. But in the next second, Princess Yu Shu discovered the truth.

"You're not him..."

"You're not him!"

She decisively chose to push Jackie Chan away, then plunged back into the depths of the Terracotta Army alone, continuing to wait for her General Meng Yi...

As the movie ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Chen Fan also quietly let out a sigh of relief.

The plot of the movie was almost identical to the one in his previous life.

He was surprised that Wen Wan's acting seemed to have improved quite a bit.

As a commercial film, the script was very good, with both laughter and tears.

Combined with Jackie Chan's star power, the movie should have no problem making a profit in the later stages.

As for awards, Chen Fan didn't have any expectations.

He just hoped to use this movie to boost Feifan Media's reputation.

As the movie ended and the crew members took the stage, the applause and cheers from the audience grew even louder.

Yan Qing patted Chen Fan and said with a smile, "The script was well-written. I didn't know you had such skills."

"Say, when are you going to write another script? Let your brother play the lead role. Better yet, invite several actresses, get all the female stars I like to come."

Chen Fan nodded, "No problem. When we film Pan Jinlian's story next time, I'll invite you to play Xi Menqing."

"Get lost!" Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Beside them, Xiao Si, Houzi, and the others excitedly said, "If Brother Qing won't play it, I will! Brother Chen Fan, I'll act for you for free next time."

"Can you invite Li Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Zhao Yazhi, Fan Bingbing, Sun Yanzhi, Zhang Hanyun to act with me..."

"Damn, you're calling so many actresses, can your little body handle it?"

"Mind your own business..."

Seeing these young masters bantering, Chen Fan didn't join in, but turned to look at Gao Xiaoxi beside him.

"So, did you like the movie?"

Gao Xiaoxi nodded, "It was very good. I even cried at the end."

Chen Fan teased, "I didn't know you were so sentimental."

"The acting was too good. Brother-in-law, I didn't expect Wen Wan's acting to be so good."

"I guess that's what they call heaven-sent talent. She was born to be a star."

"And that theme song was so beautiful."

Yan Qing interjected with a smile, "Let me tell you a secret, the theme song was written by your brother-in-law."

"Ah?"

Gao Xiaoxi stared at Chen Fan in surprise.

"Brother-in-law, is it true?"

Chen Fan nodded, "I suppose so."

Gao Xiaoxi's eyes immediately filled with little stars, her expression of admiration impossible to hide.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I think when the movie is released nationwide, this theme song will definitely go viral."

"I don't care if it goes viral or not, as long as the movie makes money."

The interview session on stage ended, marking the conclusion of tonight's event.

Yan Qing invited Chen Fan to continue the night life somewhere else, but Chen Fan declined.

After coming out, Gao Xiaoxi said she needed to use the restroom, so Chen Fan had to wait alone in the lobby.

He received a text message on his phone and took a look.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Chen Fan looked at the message, remaining silent for a few seconds without replying.

After a while, Gao Xiaoxi returned.

"Let's go, brother-in-law."

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, "Xiaoxi, wait for me in the car for a few minutes. I need to say goodbye to everyone. I won't be attending the celebration party tonight, so as the boss, I should explain clearly."

"Oh, okay. Come back quickly."

"Mm-hmm."

Chen Fan handed the car keys to Gao Xiaoxi, then walked back inside alone.

Watching Chen Fan's retreating figure, Gao Xiaoxi pouted, her face full of suspicion.

"Could brother-in-law be going to meet Wen Wan?"

"What exactly is their relationship?"

"Damn! Should I tell cousin about this?"

Gao Xiaoxi suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Because she suddenly realized that if brother-in-law and Wen Wan really had that kind of relationship...

Her cousin might not have any absolute advantage to compete with her.

After all, the other person was a big star, beautiful, with a good figure, and fame. How face-enhancing would it be to be seen with her in public?

Aren't all men concerned about face?

What would happen to her cousin then?

Gao Xiaoxi clutched the car keys, feeling an urge to run after Chen Fan and stop him.

Because she was truly afraid that in the future, her brother-in-law might abandon her cousin.
