Feng Wuyou was shocked. Her eyes widened as she looked at Chu Yi in a daze.

I was just being impulsive and casually said it. Why did Chu Yi agree? F*ck! He agreed?!! 

Feng Wuyou stood in front of Chu Yi in a daze. A gust of wind blew past, stirring the hair on her forehead. Chu Yi suppressed the smile on his lips. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Feng Wuyou waved his hand. “No, but I want to ask you, why did you agree?”

Feng Wuyou calmed down and looked at Chu Yi. Why would such a handsome and highly educated boy be reduced to being a kept man?

Just as Feng Wuyou finished speaking, Chu Yi lowered his eyes slightly and lowered his voice. “I need money.”

Chu Yi looked like a flower in the mountains, as if he would never bow down to others. Now that he lowered his eyes and looked a little disappointed, it inexplicably made one’s heart tremble.

Feng Wuyou automatically imagined all sorts of miserable backgrounds for Chu Yi. Before Chu Yi could say anything, Feng Wuyou had already moved herself.

She imitated those socialites and patted Chu Yi’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you in the future.”

A smile flashed across Chu Yi’s eyes. “Okay.”

Feng Wuyou looked at the time. It was getting late. “I’m going home. You…”

Feng Wuyou was speaking halfway, when she suddenly remembered her current relationship with Chu Yi. “Do you want to go back with me?”

Didn’t my socialite sisters bring their handsome men back? But thinking of the scene after bringing him home, Feng Wuyou suddenly blushed.

Feng Wuyou roared crazily in her heart. No, I have to call those sisters and ask them how I can appear to be an experienced person.

Chu Yi kept looking at Feng Wuyou. Seeing the sudden frustration yet sudden smile on her face, he was amused and could not help but ask, “Do you need me to do anything?”

As he spoke, Chu Yi took off his glasses and lowered his head to approach Feng Wuyou. His bright eyes actually had a deeper meaning.

Seeing Feng Wuyou’s increasingly nervous expression, Chu Yi even called out, “Sister Sugar Mommy?”

With a snap, Feng Wuyou felt that the string of rationality in her mind had broken. She was completely seduced by Chu Yi’s beauty.

“You… You don’t have to call me that.” Feng Wuyou swallowed her saliva. “I’ll go back first. Rest early. You don’t have to go back with me.”

Feng Wuyou’s intention to bring Chu Yi back was completely shattered by the beauty.

“Let me send you back.” Chu Yi put on his glasses and returned to his gentle and elegant appearance. Before Feng Wuyou could reject him, Chu Yi took Feng Wuyou’s bag and walked forward. Feng Wuyou could only follow.

Feng Wuyou had always been a talkative person, but along the way, Feng Wuyou actually fell into an inexplicable shyness.

She sat in the front passenger seat and pretended to be dead, but her heart was roaring crazily.

What the hell?! What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I find myself a young hunk for no reason?

However, going back on her word now would probably make her lose face. Feng Wuyou’s eyelashes trembled crazily, and it was obvious that she was extremely conflicted.

While waiting for the traffic light, Chu Yi turned to look at Feng Wuyou. A dark look flashed across his eyes. When Feng Wuyou looked up at him, Chu Yi returned to his calm appearance.

“Why are you looking at me?” Looking at Chu Yi’s face that looked like it had walked out of a comic, Feng Wuyou blushed.

Although it was very embarrassing, she could not help but want to say that this young hunk was really good-looking. It was not a loss to keep him. 

“You look good.” The light turned green and Chu Yi started the car.

“…” Feng Wuyou blushed silently, but on the surface, she still had to pretend that nothing had happened. “Your mouth is still quite sweet. Not bad, I’ll transfer the money to you when I get back.”

“Okay.” Chu Yi was very cooperative.

After sending Feng Wuyou to the entrance of the hotel, Feng Wuyou quickly unbuckled her seatbelt as if she was escaping a disaster.

She was about to get out of the car when Chu Yi grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing…” Before Feng Wuyou could finish speaking, a warmth landed on her cheek.

Feng Wuyou widened her eyes and looked at Chu Yi.

!!!!!

Chu Yi, on the other hand, looked innocent. “Isn’t that what happens on television? Is there anything I didn’t do? What else do I need to do?”

“No need, no need.” Feng Wuyou waved her hand frantically and almost ran out of the car. “I’ll go back first. Be careful.”

With that, Feng Wuyou ran back to the hotel without looking back.

In the car, Chu Yi smiled as he watched Feng Wuyou escape. The innocence in his eyes dissipated and there was a hint of evilness.

Xuan Sheng happened to return from the company and bumped into Feng Wuyou, who was running into the hall.

“What are you doing?” Xuan Sheng frowned slightly. “Are you sick? Your face is so red.”

Feng Wuyou looked flustered and lowered her voice to ask Xuan Sheng, “Do you Chinese look restrained on the outside, but in fact, you’re especially unrestrained on the inside?”

Otherwise, why would that beautiful Chinese boy look so elegant and shy, but not be ambiguous when he did things?

“…” Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou, speechless. “It seems that you’re indeed sick. There’s something wrong with your brain.”

“Hmph.” Feng Wuyou could not be bothered to argue with Xuan Sheng. She covered her face that had just been kissed by Chu Yi and felt that this small area was burning with an extremely high temperature.

Meanwhile, Chu Yi’s smiling eyes appeared in Feng Wuyou’s dream for the entire night.

——

After many days of screening, Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian finally came up with the preliminary plan for the studio, and the people were basically in place.

Not only were there more than ten top architects recruited from internationally at high prices, but there were also dozens of experienced post-production staff from China.

Xia Wanyuan even instructed Shen Qian to recruit nearly two hundred inexperienced graduates and specially set up special classes to lead them in advanced studies to replenish their talents for future work.

Such a large transfer of personnel in the industry naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

In particular, the dozen or so top architects poached from the international community were basically famous in the industry. They gathered in China together, causing international dissatisfaction.

Xia Wanyuan was now considered a Chinese person that international netizens were very familiar with.

It was also because she was dedicated to exporting China’s culture that she attracted the dissatisfaction of a large number of anti-Chinese people and many anti-fans on the Internet.

A business backbone of the post-production team had been poached by Xia Wanyuan, so he directly criticized Xia Wanyuan on the Internet, attracting the support of many people.

“Simon was originally an extremely outstanding employee of our company. He was responsible for the main production of the Marvel series that fans of the world are familiar with. Now, Xia Wanyuan has used disgraceful methods to poach him away. She only cares about her own interests and ignored the needs of the vast number of fans. It’s purely a waste to poach such a talent to China.”

[I support simida. China is used to being a thief. Not only did they steal our country’s pickles and traditional culture, but they also stole other people’s employees. They really live up to their reputation as Chinese thieves.]

[ The people of Han Country in front, can you stay where you are? Don’t think that we won’t scold you just because we scold Xia Wanyuan. The people of Han Country do sports fraud. I think it’s as disgusting as China. You’re all the same. ]

[Are there any good movies in China? I don’t think there are any, right? I’ve never seen a Chinese movie screening here. It’s a waste of resources for such a lousy movie to use such a good post-production member.]

Facing the sour comments of foreign netizens, not only did the domestic people not feel angry, but they also felt happy.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s finally their turn to stomp their feet. Over the years, how many core talents have they poached from us? They can’t stand it when we’ve only poached one? Serves them right!! Infuriating them!!”

However, although the netizens felt that Xia Wanyuan’s poaching actions were very venting, they could not help but be worried about Xia Wanyuan’s movie.

[Although I’m relieved, I still want to say that our country’s movies are indeed worrying. We have 1.4 billion people in the country, but overseas, we really don’t have much influence.]

[ Let’s put it this way. If she wants to make a name for herself, she still has to rely on sci-fi movies. The purpose of Xia Wanyuan setting up a studio is probably to push the next sci-fi movie to the world. Without further ado, I’ll prepare the movie tickets for her first. ]

In the studio, Chen Yun and the director had the same thoughts as the netizens.

“The target of ‘Eldest Princess’ is the domestic audience. We don’t have many publicity plans overseas. We’re preparing to leave all our big moves on next year’s sci-fi film.” Chen Yun showed Xia Wanyuan the publicity plan he had already made.

Xia Wanyuan scanned it, her eyes filled with confusion. “Why did you leave the overseas publicity for next year?”

“Because ‘Eldest Princess’ is a traditional ancient movie in China and is destined to not be popular overseas. Instead of wasting time, it’s better to focus on conquering the domestic audience.”

Xia Wanyuan did not agree.

Back then, when she worked with Liu Ling, Xia Wanyuan had wanted to use sci-fi movies to open the overseas market for Chinese movies.

However, after the popular science video on the Internet some time ago,

Xia Wanyuan realized that the foreign audience was not born to resist China’s culture, nor were they born to dislike watching Chinese movies.

It was only because they did not understand and the things they filmed were not attractive enough.

Xia Wanyuan’s popular science videos were completely about unfamiliar Chinese traditional culture. The number of views on the Internet was extremely high. After this period of fermentation, it had already become the most popular popular popular science video on the Internet this month.

This meant that as long as the thing was done well enough, it would definitely be able to attract the audience.

Hence, Xia Wanyuan gave her opinion. “Don’t talk about the future. The science fiction movie is that on its own. I want to push this movie to the world.”

“Huh?” Chen Yun and the director were stunned.

In the history of Chinese movies, it was not that no one had tried this before, but at most, they had pushed the movie to a few neighboring countries in Continent Y.

Pushing Chinese ancient movies to the world? Anyone would say that it was a fool’s dream.

If not for the fact that Xia Wanyuan was sitting in front of them, Chen Yun and the director would have left on the spot.

However, because Xia Wanyuan was sitting in front of them, the two of them did not dare to easily reject her opinion.

After all, Xia Wanyuan was best at creating miracles.

“Then, what are you going to do?” Chen Yun thought for a moment and decided to follow Xia Wanyuan’s train of thought.

Countless experiments in the past had proven that the path Xia Wanyuan took was definitely correct.

“Let’s start with my popular science video.” Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. “Work with me to operate the account on the Internet and expand our influence. Let the international netizens be interested in our country’s traditional culture first, then release the promotional video for ‘Eldest Princess’ bit by bit.”

“Okay!” Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s train of thought, Chen Yun clapped and praised. “Let’s start with that account. I’ll do another publicity plan. You guys chat.”

After receiving Xia Wanyuan’s reminder, many thoughts burst into Chen Yun’s mind. He sat back at his desk and began to type crazily on the keyboard.

The director trembled and was inexplicably excited.

“Um, Wanyuan, are you confident in opening the overseas market?”

“Won’t you know if you try?” Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were firm and confident. No one would doubt the truth of her words.

“That’s good.” The director gasped. “Then, I don’t even dare to think about what will happen in the future. Just thinking about it makes me excited.”

International film history was at least decades ahead of China. To be honest, as a filmmaker, there was no director who did not have the dream of pushing Chinese film to the world.

Chinese directors were respected in China, but to be honest, who would know them internationally?

Not to mention the ostracization and mockery he had received internationally. Director Yang had to endure others’ insults when he went overseas to participate in events. He did not feel good.

However, the international influence of Chinese movies was weak. He had no choice. This was the truth. He had to admit it.

But today, in Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yun’s conversation, Director Yang seemed to have glimpsed another possibility.

He did not dare to imagine what would happen if “Eldest Princess” could really enter the international scene and become the number one movie in China’s road to the world.

Just running through that scene in his mind made his blood boil.

“Alright, Director. The post-production studio has just been established and we still need to work together. I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on it. I have more things to do and might not be able to take care of it.”

“You’re treating me like an outsider. If this movie really succeeds, I don’t know how much I have to thank you!!” Director Yang looked at Xia Wanyuan with excitement.

He was the movie director of “Eldest Princess”. They were bound together for good or bad. If he really succeeded, he would leave his name forever. Not to mention watching the post-production work,

He decided that from today onwards, he would live with the production team with his bedroll. He would go home when he finished his work.
