105: Chapter 105 Watching My Girlfriend Perform on the Spring Festival Gala with My Family

On the first day of the New Year, Wu Yue could be described as being in high spirits due to happy events.

He was in a great mood today, humming tunes wherever he went.

Don't ask, because if you do, it's just because his artist is too awesome.

The Spring Festival Movie Season! So what if it's just the ending theme song? In a roundabout way, it's equivalent to battling in the Spring Festival Movie Season!

Most importantly, the rival is Feng Liqian!

That was an artist he had personally brought up; back then, he really thought the good days were coming.

And the result? After taking off, Jinghua Entertainment immediately kicked him to the curb.

The biggest reason, of course, was that Feng Liqian's current manager, Ma Yue, had actively climbed into the bed of a Jinghua executive back then and replaced him.

But honestly, Wu Yue had seen enough of this kind of thing in the Chinese Entertainment Industry; although he hated people like Ma Yue, he could also understand it.

What he minded the most was actually Feng Liqian.

You could say that back then, he didn't have any say, and he couldn't resist what happened, so he could only obey the arrangements.

But what about in private?

Actually, if Feng Liqian had just said a single word in private to Wu Yue like "forced by circumstances" or "couldn't help it," Wu Yue wouldn't look down on him so much.

Perhaps the top celebrity Feng Liqian had long forgotten about this, but for the small fry Wu Yue, it was a hurdle he could never get over in his heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, Lin Chuyan was really promising.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone in the industry was focusing on whether "burning life" and "assassination" would take the number one spot at the box office for the first day, who could have expected that the most viral thing among them would actually be a song?

What made him feel so good that his scalp tingled was that the singer of this song was Lin Chuyan!

Yes, it was someone he managed again!

How about that? Are you convinced?

Perhaps this obsession was ridiculous, but he, Wu Yue, really wanted to prove himself—that he was able to bring up Feng Liqian back then was never an accident!

Jinghua Entertainment, you misjudged. It wasn't just Lin Chuyan you misjudged, but also him, Wu Yue!

He had watched the movie "burning life", and to be honest, he didn't like it much.

But at this moment, he desperately hoped it would crush "assassination" into dust!

To hell with Feng Liqian! To hell with Jinghua Entertainment!

At eight in the evening, Wu Yue still couldn't help but call Lin Chuyan.

"Xiao Yan, it seems the first-day box office for "burning life" has surpassed "assassination"."

Lin Chuyan shrugged: "Anyway, we've already done what we needed to do beautifully. I haven't been paying attention to the box office; they aren't giving us a cut, right?"

"Hey! You can't calculate it like that. Why don't you think about how many movies will want you to sing their ending theme songs in the future?"

"Oh, right... But, there probably won't be many chances to sell it for such a high price, right?"

Lin Chuyan really hadn't thought of that.

Wu Yue shook his head: "We won't sell for low prices either. You have plenty of ways to make money now, no need to stare at movie OSTs and fight others for a living. You can take them, but at this price. If they can accept it, great; if not, forget it. If we don't act, fine, but if we do, we need to make a splash."

"Understood."

Lin Chuyan followed the advice readily.

Wu Yue returned to the original topic: "In short, I chatted with a few friends today. Do you know what they said? They said the biggest variable in the first-day box office was you!"

Lin Chuyan wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing if Wu Yue still minded that person: "Um, Feng Liqian... is his box office appeal not good?"

Wu Yue laughed: "Put word-of-mouth aside for a moment. Originally, everyone was optimistic about the first few days of "assassination" box office, wasn't it because Feng Liqian had so many fans? Now, look, because of you, the first-day box office actually lost! And he calls himself a top traffic star? It's a joke, right? Who could have thought fans wouldn't carry the box office like this. Now the word-of-mouth is out, it might not be a huge disaster, but it's definitely a minor disaster, hahaha. What a Spring Festival Movie Season, to actually have to determine the box office champion from two bad movies, hahahaha!"

The more Wu Yue thought about it, the funnier it was. He wasn't just laughing at "assassination" and "burning life", he was also laughing at the Chinese Entertainment Industry film market. If he didn't find someone to rant to, he would really feel stifled.

Lin Chuyan thought about it: "Uh, let me ask, Feng Liqian's fans won't take it out on me, right?"

Wu Yue paused: "Hiss... that's actually possible."

There's actually such a good thing? Lin Chuyan was suddenly energized.

"Very good, I want to see blood flow like a river." Lin Chuyan pondered for a moment, "How about... I post on Weibo? We are civilized people, we don't need to curse, just be passive-aggressive towards Feng Liqian, what do you think?"

Wu Yue was speechless...

What kind of weird hobby is this for his artist? He just likes to stir up trouble for no reason, right? Or does he have some strange tendencies?

For a moment, Wu Yue even worried about Ruan Xingyu...

Getting sidetracked, getting sidetracked.

"Don't rush, don't rush... wait for the box office to stabilize a bit more. You've been on the trending searches enough today, let's see how the other side reacts first!"

Lin Chuyan thought about it and nodded in agreement: "By the way, if "assassination" fails at the box office, Feng Liqian's transformation can be considered a failure, right? That woman Ma Yue must be furious, right?"

"Hahahaha! That woman has a bad temper! I bet the cups and bowls at home are going to suffer."

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but "hehe" laugh together, laughing quite maliciously.

...

Hanging up the phone in a pleasant mood, Lin Chuyan continued to watch the local TV station's Spring Festival Gala.

Tonight, both Blue TV and Fruit TV had Ruan Xingyu, and his girlfriend even made it onto the Weibo trending search #Ruan Xingyu is so busy# because of it.

He checked, the time was almost up.

Holding the remote control at home, he wasn't panicked at all.

Very good, he changed the channel as if nothing was wrong.

Lin Zhiyuan had no objections, but Su Lanxin was puzzled: "It was fine, why change the channel?"

Lin Chuyan's expression was very calm: "The songs are better here."

Soon, Ruan Xingyu went on stage.

She was wearing a very shiny and bright blue evening gown, elegant and imposing.

The local TV station didn't have too many requirements for song selection, so Ruan Xingyu sang "Similar to Love" and another love song on stage.

Lin Chuyan forcibly restrained his heart that wanted to show off, silently listening to his girlfriend finish singing.

Then he continued to change the channel.

Su Lanxin: "Changing again?"

Lin Chuyan remained calm: "The good ones are finished."

Very soon.

Ruan Xingyu was on stage again...

Su Lanxin: "???"

Lin—feigning calmness—Chuyan continued to perform as if nothing was happening; this was an actor's self-cultivation.

He just explained lightly: "It's very good."

Su Lanxin: "Xiao Yan, do you like her?"

"...Huh?"

Lin Chuyan was shocked.

Was he discovered just like that? That shouldn't be, it doesn't make sense.

"Huh what? Are you her fan?"

"Oh, oh oh, no, just friends, good friends."

Lin Zhiyuan spoke up: "She is Ruan Xingyu, the one we talked about last time. She had rumors with Xiao Yan, has been on the Spring Festival Gala, the one we said Xiao Yan wasn't good enough for."

"Oh, oh, I remember now."

Lin Chuyan: "..."

Speaking of this, Ms. Su Lanxin became interested: "The young lady is on the Spring Festival Galas of two stations at once."

Regarding his girlfriend's career, Lin Chuyan answered every question: "Yes, she said the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was too much of a hassle, so she went to the local station's Spring Festival Gala."

"She looks good too... very pretty, too pretty..." The more Su Lanxin watched, the better she thought she looked, and she couldn't help but ask, "How did you two get rumored together anyway?"

"Why?"

"It just feels like it doesn't make sense, and you aren't in the same world either."

"...Your son was at least popular back in the day, okay. Actually, it's nothing, just that one time, a few people went out to eat, and then we were photographed."

"She looks good, sings well, and is a good friend of yours, that means she's a good person too." Su Lanxin suddenly asked another question, "Is she married? Does she have a boyfriend?"

"...Neither."

"Oh."

Ms. Su Lanxin stopped talking.

Lin Chuyan was driven crazy by his mother's flat reaction, and couldn't help but tentatively ask: "What? Do you want her to be your daughter-in-law?"

Su Lanxin: "It's not anyone's birthday, how can you make a wish?"

Lin Chuyan: "..."

This mouth is so sharp, who on earth learned from whom! Damn it!
