編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
"What on earth do you want?"
"Don't panic." Kun Lun continued smiling, but a sheen of a threat had crept into his gaze. "Our boss said that if anything happens to that young lady, you'll spend the rest of your lives in prison!"
An Lin fell down when he tried to de-escalate the situation and was flustered. He calmed down when he heard the man's words.
Cloud Seven had someone to back her up, and he felt better now. Those evil b*stards would do anything to achieve their goals.
If Cloud Seven did fall into their grasp, she would get hurt at best and die at worst. Nothing good would come to her.
"Director An." Kun Lun stood in front of An Lin. "Our boss has an investment deal to discuss with you. Would you be interested?"
…
In the car.
Yu An sat in the seat and panted heavily as she placed a hand on her chest, trying to calm her frantically beating heart.
What a thrilling experience to flee after the fight!
"Chairman Shen." When she calmed down, Yu An regarded Shen Xi worriedly. "Those *ssholes won't let you off the hook."
"It's alright." Shen Xi would not have hit the men if she did not have the courage to do so. She dialed Yuan Yu's number.
"Negotiations failed." Yuan Yu's voice could be heard.
"I hit them." Shen Xi had just finished speaking when her eyes lit up with glee. She added, "You don't have to take care of it, Brother."
Yu An stared in the same direction Shen Xi was gazing at and noticed a silhouette that passed by the French window on the second floor. She recognized who that was. "Isn't that Director An?"
Shen Xi nodded and returned a friendly smile. "We've found someone to support us."
A puzzled Yu An regarded her. Surprisingly, she realized that her company's Chairman Shen, who was often cool and distant, had shown some warmth in her expression.
She turned to look at the man with Director An and grinned.
Yu An knew that he must be an acquaintance of Chairman Shen. He was rather handsome and seemed like an influential figure. She wondered who he was.
…
A week later, the film crew of "The Smiling Nation" was finally established. They published their first tweet on Weibo and announced the cast of the leading and supporting roles.
The director of "The Smiling Nation" was An Lin, who had directed several popular shows with high ratings, especially historical dramas.
The investors had invested five hundred million yuan into this project. According to an insider, unknown actors were cast in this show and the remaining 80% of the budget was spent on the costumes, make-up and props.
Director An Lin tweeted that the show was adapted from the author, Cloud Seven's novel, and he assured audiences that the plot would be faithful to the original.
There were a lot of fans of "The Smiling Nation"'s original story, particularly shippers who loved to find beautiful moments in the solemn tale. They were simply obsessed with the plot.
When they received word about the adaptation, they felt euphoric. It was not easy to secure a film crew and investors that cared for the fans. Thus, the fans retweeted news about "The Smiling Nation" and it became one of the trending topics on Weibo.
Su Mushi received news about the show earlier than the fans. He began to panic. "Mom, Dad, this is a big-budget production directed by An Lin."
Su Yi was aware of it, too. He smirked. "Why are you so panicky? It will flop anyway, despite the high budget."
He wondered who was rich and silly enough to be manipulated by An Lin. This show was confirmed to be a failure and a total waste of money.
"Your dad is right. The screenwriter is a newcomer, a web novel author turned screenwriter, to be precise. As if being a screenwriter is an easy job!" Li Jingran scoffed, then said, "You're already a part of showbiz, so you need to be steady instead of jumping into everything at first sight."
