185: Chapter 185 Five female celebrities fighting over a human body pillow
"..."
Sister Na wisely chose not to pick up on this dangerous topic.
She had a good personal relationship with all five of these women.
Yang Mi was complaining with such humble-bragging; if she were to just go along with it, who knows when these words might reach the ears of Liu Shishi and the others, and she would end up in big trouble.
"By the way, you guys have been married for a while now, when do you plan on having a baby?" Sister Na shifted the topic very smoothly.
Yang Mi brushed her hair back, her eyes dimming slightly: "I don't know. He hasn't brought it up proactively either, so we'll just let it happen naturally. Anyway, we don't... really use any protection, so if it happens, we'll just have it. What about you and Zhang Jie? Do you have any plans?"
Sister Na lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Brother Jie and I plan to do it this year! To prepare for pregnancy, Brother Jie has even quit drinking; he hasn't touched a drop of alcohol for half a year now."
Yang Mi asked curiously: "Does a man drinking have a big impact on conceiving a baby?"
"The older generation says so, and doctors also advise abstaining from alcohol while trying to conceive. For things like this, it's better to believe it than not; it's better to be safe than sorry."
Yang Mi nodded thoughtfully.
Sister Na asked gossiping again: "Then when do you plan to hold your wedding of the century? The fans online are urging you every day to let them send their wedding gifts."
Yang Mi turned her head to look at Lin Chen, who was whispering to Liu Shishi, her eyes complex:
"Hold a wedding... what woman wouldn't want to wear a one-of-a-kind wedding dress and marry the man she loves in a grand ceremony? But... he has never brought it up, and I... I don't dare to force him."
Sister Na was confused and widened her eyes in disbelief:
"No way, Mimi! Where is that queenly aura of yours where you're the only one who matters in the world? How have you become so timid at home? Is your family rule that strict? Holding a wedding is such a normal thing; can't you just act coquettish in bed and bring it up?"
Yang Mi smiled bitterly, helpless, and lowered her voice: "It's not like you don't know how we got married in the beginning; it was all a farce born of a mistake. At that time, everyone thought it was just play-acting, and we would go our separate ways after a year. No one ever thought it would turn into reality."
"Now... I'm afraid that if I proactively bring up the wedding, it will trigger his rejection and resistance toward that absurd past."
"That's impossible, right?" Sister Na looked disbelieving, "Everyone on the internet can see how good Teacher Lin is to you all. How could he fall out with you over a single sentence?"
"You don't understand him."
Yang Mi shook her head, her eyes showing deep reverence, "My husband, his personality seems gentle, but deep down, he is extremely decisive and ruthless. When he loves you, he can spoil you to the heavens and bring the best things in the world to you."
"But if he stops loving you, or feels you've touched his bottom line, he can instantly draw a line between you and him, cold-blooded enough to make you doubt life itself. Things like lingering attachments or being indecisive simply do not exist in his dictionary."
Sister Na watched Yang Mi's anxious and fretful appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Mimi, oh Mimi, do you know what you're like right now?"
Yang Mi looked at her with confusion.
"This is called being blinded by concern! You're too deep in it, and you love too humbly!"
Sister Na poked her arm, frustrated by her lack of improvement, "That's why you're so cautious. You've already registered the marriage, and children are in the plan. Could you really break up just because of mentioning a wedding? You're worrying about nothing!"
Yang Mi was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head with a bitter smile: "You don't understand. This matter... let's find a suitable opportunity to talk about it later."
Sister Na stared at Yang Mi for a long time, then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed:
"Come to think of it, it's really ironic. Back then, you, Boss Yang, were famous in the circle as an Iron Lady. How many young talents lined up to chase you, and you wouldn't even glance at them. Who could have imagined that one day you would be completely wrapped around a man's finger? If this script were written, no one would believe it."
Yang Mi didn't refute her, just looked tenderly at Lin Chen's profile: "Before I met him, I didn't know I could become like this. Alright, stop gossiping."
...
At noon, Mr. He and Sister Na played the role of hosts and treated Lin Chen's family of six to a meal at a high-end restaurant in Changsha.
Halfway through the meal, Du Haitao, who arrived late due to work commitments, rushed over, covered in sweat.
Of the five original members of the Happy Family, except for Li Weijia and Wu Xin who were away on business, the remaining three were all present.
Because there was an important premiere press conference in the evening, everyone was very restrained. They didn't order alcohol during the meal, just drank tea and chatted, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
It must be said that these people from the Happy Family have been able to stand firm for more than a decade in the entertainment industry, where people fawn over the powerful and kick the weak, and where relationships cool quickly when power fades, and they have thrived.
While it is certainly due to the halo of the national-level platform "Happy Camp," the more crucial point is that these people have truly mastered the art of "how to conduct oneself."
Especially Mr. He and Sister Na, who are famous in the industry as the "King of Connections" and for having "great popularity."
If it were just a few individuals showing support, it could be explained as an exchange of interests.
But if most of the stars in the entertainment industry are willing to give them face, it is enough to show that these two truly possess extraordinary charm in terms of their conduct and emotional intelligence.
After they were full, the three of them—Mr. He and the others—very considerately drove Lin Chen's family back to the hotel themselves.
Before leaving, they repeatedly urged them to rest well and recharge for the big event in the evening.
After running around all morning, the five women were indeed tired, so they took this opportunity to take a nap.
Lin Chen's energy was notoriously monstrous; he simply didn't know what it meant to be tired.
But he couldn't even have a moment of peace in the living room; he was directly treated as a human body pillow by the five hungry women and dragged onto the big bed in the master bedroom.
With arms around him on both sides, he was tightly entangled by fair, jade-like arms and long, beautiful legs.
This nap lasted until past four in the afternoon.
After the family of six woke up, they immediately entered battle mode and began washing up, applying makeup, and changing clothes.
The five women finally put on the five sets of haute couture battle robes that Lin Chen had personally customized.
The makeup and hairstyles were, of course, entirely handled by Lin Chen, the max-level grandmaster.
When the final touch of red lipstick was outlined, the five already stunningly beautiful female stars seemed to have been infused with a soul.
Every curve and every touch of color was just right, breathtakingly beautiful, and their aura instantly soared by who knows how many levels.
The top makeup artists and stylists sent by Hunan Satellite TV to assist stood on the side, completely dumbfounded.
Watching Lin Chen's fluid and seamless techniques, they were simply awestruck and admired him to the point of bowing down.
At the same time, a deep sense of despair welled up in their hearts.
This was the gap between a genius and a mortal.
The craft you've painstakingly practiced for ten years is simply a joke in the face of someone else's natural-born talent.
How is anyone supposed to survive like this!
At five in the evening, the core creative team of the "falling goose long fly" Film Crew arrived at the hotel one after another to rendezvous with Yang Mi, who was the largest investor and the female lead.
The lineup attending this press conference was quite extensive.
Besides Yang Mi and Dilraba, who were part of the family, there was the great director Chief Director Zhang Zhiquan, the male lead and current hot star Li Qingfeng, the second male lead and talented young actor Yang Lihua, the third male lead Guan Dawei, and a host of familiar golden supporting actors.
To put it bluntly, for tonight's press conference, these actors were the real protagonists performing on stage.
As for Lin Chen, Tong Liya, Liu Shishi, and Guli Nazha, although they were more famous, they were at most considered a family group, special guests invited to add prestige.
Seeing Lin Chen again, Li Qingfeng and Yang Lihua, the two former "love rivals," acted as pleasant as a spring breeze.
It was as if the petty things from before, like subtly insulting Lin Chen on Weibo and trying to steal his girl, had never happened.
Even when Lin Chen ignored them, they were still able to maintain a perfect professional fake smile and enthusiastically exchange greetings.
Surviving in the entertainment industry relies entirely on acting skills.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox; no one would write their true joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness on their face.
Even if Li Qingfeng and Yang Lihua wished they could swallow Lin Chen alive at this moment, and even if they were so jealous while looking at the stunningly beautiful Yang Mi and the charming and lovely Dilraba that they were about to grit their back teeth to pieces, maintaining a facade of harmony for the sake of profit was a decency that had to be upheld.
In this world, there is absolutely no shortage of malicious villains.
But the true villains are often wrapped in the most hypocritical cloaks.
...
At exactly seven in the evening.
Lin Chen's family of six and the Film Crew's creative team gathered in the hotel lobby and boarded the stretched Lincoln limousines sent by Hunan Satellite TV in batches, heading majestically toward the Hunan Radio and Television Building.
The premiere press conference for "falling goose long fly" was of an extremely high standard and was arranged in the most luxurious Studio 03 of the Radio and Television Building.
This was the designated venue for recording the blockbuster music variety show "I Am a Singer" back in the day, with top-tier audio and lighting configurations.
The red carpet ceremony was arranged on the side plaza of the building.
Although it was just a press conference for a TV series, it couldn't be compared to the hundred-meter-long carpets of film festivals; the length of the red carpet was only a short twenty or thirty meters.
But that couldn't stop the atmosphere at the scene from being explosive!
Security personnel had long since set up cordon lines on both sides of the red carpet, and outside, it was packed three layers deep with frenzied fans and all kinds of media who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Support signs and glow sticks flickered into a sea of stars.
Walking the red carpet is also based on seniority.
The first to appear were the Film Crew's behind-the-scenes team and the screenwriters.
These people might be slightly famous in the industry, but in the eyes of the fans, they were just nobodies.
Only sporadic flashes went off on both sides of the red carpet, and the atmosphere was slightly cold.
After all, who would have nothing better to do than chase after a behind-the-scenes producer?
Next to appear were the supporting actors from the Film Crew.
Among them were many veteran actors whom the audience often saw on TV; although they couldn't name them, they were familiar faces.
The fans at the scene were also very supportive, and a round of applause and cheers that could be considered enthusiastic rang out.
After the supporting actors finished walking, the main event arrived.
