Ever since he started dating Chen Fei 'er, Lu Chen had been aware that he would be hated by others.
As a popular singer in the domestic pop music industry, Chen Fei 'er was definitely one of the top people in the circle, whether it was her talent, character, or appearance. Naturally, she had many pursuers.
And those who had the confidence and ability to pursue her were definitely not ordinary people.
Unlike many people in the circle who treated love as casual as eating and drinking, Chen Fei 'er was very conservative in terms of love. Although there were several rumors, they were all proved to be fake news or deliberately hyped up.
Therefore, when her relationship with Lu Chen was made public, it caused a great shock in the circle.
Among those who had painstakingly pursued her but failed, there were really too few people who had no grudges or resentment in their hearts.
Lu Chen just didn't expect that he would come across a former pursuer of Chen Fei 'er in Hong Kong.
"Should we teach Cui Xingxian a lesson?"
When coming out of the Genting Hotel, Li Mubai was eager to try. "Let him know that we are not to be trifled with."
Under the leadership of Liu Zhenghao, Jiang Chenghua apologized with tea and took out 10 million as compensation. The two sides shook hands and the storm came to an end.
As for the trouble that Honghua was currently facing, it had nothing to do with Lu Chen.
In general, such an ending was not bad.
But the third young master of the Li family was eager to see the world in chaos. "How dare he have ideas about Sister Fei 'er. Let's beat him up!"
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing. "Forget it."
He already owed the Li family a lot. If he let Li Mubai deal with Cui Xingxian, it would be too immature.
Even if it was to fight back against Cui Xingxian, Lu Chen had to rely on his own strength!
Li Mubai was dissatisfied. "Are we just going to let him go like this?"
Lu Chen shook his head. "No, let's wait and see!"
If he wanted to fight back, he naturally had to fight back through the movie that was currently being filmed. As long as "A Chinese Ghost Story" could win the policy support slot and squeeze out the opponent's "Painted Skin", that would be the biggest victory.
This incident also made Lu Chen realize that not only did he have to shoot his own movie well, but he also had to understand his opponent's situation.
Lu Chen left the task of gathering information to Chen Wenqiang.
He took out the envelope with the 10 million dollar check and handed it to Li Mubai.
Li Mubai couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course it's for you. You contributed the most in this matter. You can't help for nothing, right?"
Li Mubai gave him the middle finger: "Do you think I lack this little money?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Your sister has already called me. Don't be stubborn. Just take it. There's no need to be polite between us."
Li Mubai, who had been exposed, suddenly couldn't hold on anymore. He said with a bitter face, "My sister is too stingy. She asked me to come to Hong Kong to open a company and only gave me a few million. It's not even enough to eat with friends!"
Lu Chen laughed and forced the envelope into his hand. "You can spend it first. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more."
Li Mubai smiled and put away the envelope with a little embarrassment.
The friendship between the two of them really didn't need to be hypocritical and polite, let alone a mere 10 million.
It was late at night, and Third Young Master Li's nightlife had just begun. After taking the money, he called his friends.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't accompany him. He asked Zhang Xiaofang to drive him back to his home in Repulse Bay.
When he got home, Chen Fei 'er hadn't fallen asleep yet. She was doing beauty maintenance.
She was born beautiful, and her skin was better than most people's, but no one's face could stand the ravages of time. Youth couldn't last forever, and could only be delayed through beauty maintenance.
Especially for actors who often put on makeup, skin care was a very important daily work.
"You're back?"
With a mask on her face, she asked vaguely, "How's it going?"
Lu Chen took off his coat, hugged his girlfriend, then sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "We made up."
Chen Fei 'er chuckled and said, "Peace makes money. But then again, what's their purpose in doing so much? Do they want to invest in your film or studio?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, "It was ordered by someone else."
"Ordered by someone else?"
Chen Fei 'er was surprised. She took off the mask and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
It wasn't terrible to have enemies. In the entertainment circle, if you didn't want to be in cahoots with others, you would definitely offend someone. What was terrible was that the enemy was hiding in the dark and stabbing you at the critical moment.
Chen Fei 'er had been in the entertainment circle for more than ten years, and she had seen the sinister people in the circle, so she was particularly concerned.
"It's Huaguan Pictures …"
Lu Chen had to explain, "They are also shooting a film in Hong Kong, and the theme is the same as ours. It's also based on the story in 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio', so there's a direct competition."
"Huaguan Pictures?"
Chen Fei 'er frowned and said, "I've seen the general manager of Huaguan, but Cui Xingxian …"
She shook her head, and there was a trace of disdain in her eyes. "He's arrogant and feels good about himself."
"Let's not talk about this …"
Lu Chen smiled and held her in his arms. "Honey, let's go to bed early!"
Then, he kissed Chen Fei 'er's fragrant lips.
Chen Fei 'er giggled and reached out to cover his mouth. "I haven't taken a shower yet!"
Lu Chen had to let go of her reluctantly.
Chen Fei 'er slowly got up and walked to the bathroom. After a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Lu Chen with a seductive look. "Do you want to go together?"
Lu Chen was overjoyed and jumped up.
It was a charming night.
The next day, the shooting of "A Chinese Ghost Story" continued. Chen Fei 'er, who had begun to get into the mood, performed better and better. The number of NGs was pitifully few, which made Director Wan Xiaoquan very satisfied.
Now that the trouble had been completely solved, the operation of the crew was smooth, and the morale of the crew was high. It was expected that all the shooting would be completed within the limited time.
In the afternoon, Chen Wenqiang brought a piece of information to Lu Chen.
This information, which was not very detailed, surprised Lu Chen more or less, because he only now knew that there were more than 20 film and television agencies in the country that had started shooting new films in Hong Kong. In addition to the films that the local film companies in Hong Kong had already finished shooting or had just started shooting, there were at least a hundred films participating in the competition for policy support next year. The competition was definitely extremely fierce.
According to the information that Chen Wenqiang had learned, in addition to the "Painted Skin" of Huaguan Pictures, there were also "Eternal Love", "Spirit Fox" and many other new films that were similar to the theme of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
"A Chinese Ghost Story" was facing the competitive pressure of strong opponents. Whether it could stand out among these similar films and get the precious pass was undoubtedly still unknown.
But Lu Chen was not afraid of challenges!
