Chapter 647: A Roar That Shattered the Heavens

Celinka was speechless regarding the proud-faced Shang Rongyan.

She had interviewed many socialites, but only Shang Rongyan was always this arrogant. Sitting there, she looked just like a queen. She kept swinging her high heels, her crystal-clear toes pointing upward, clearly in a rather pleasant mood.

Of course she was pleasant, because the mere thought of leaving this godforsaken place made her ecstatic.

"As far as I know, the famous director Nolan has invited you to star in his new film, which people are calling an upgraded version of 'Inception,' featuring dazzling 'time games.' As the female lead, you could be said to be the most dazzling presence in it. So I want to ask... could you reveal some fun things to us?"

After signaling for the lighting and other preparations to be ready, Celinka asked with a professional smile.

Hearing this, Shang Rongyan suddenly smiled even more brightly.

She nodded slightly, pointed a jade finger at Celinka, and said, "Your use of 'most dazzling presence' is very good, very good indeed! Of course I am the most dazzling presence. It was because Nolan was captivated by me that he insisted on inviting me to join the filming."

"I can share one thing, though; he came specifically to find me because of my outstanding performance in my last movie."

Celinka was slightly stunned.

She had done her homework before coming and tried hard to recall the movie Shang Rongyan mentioned.

So she hesitantly opened her mouth and said, "The name of this movie... is it called 'Spider Spirit vs. Spider-Man'?"

"BINGO!"

Shang Rongyan nodded, clearly very satisfied with this.

Celinka wanted to say something but stopped, unable to help thinking of the reviews for this movie on Douban. Some called it "the biggest joke in Chinese cinema this century," giving it an epic low rating. Moreover, she had specifically found the resources to watch it.

The Spider Spirit played by Shang Rongyan was simply a poser.

Too much posing, simply the king of posers, crushing Spider-Man.

After defeating the big boss, she felt it wasn't enough, so she ripped the male lead to pieces and hid her merit and fame.

She really wanted to ask Shang Rongyan what her mental state was like when she participated in this movie. Even she, as a person from the United States, could see that this was a pirated, infringing, spoof, nonsensical movie riding on the coattails of DC.

But, she couldn't say that.

She could only force a smile, unable to bear breaking Shang Rongyan's good mood, and continued to flatter her, "I watched this movie, and it was truly amazing! It can be called a legend of Chinese cinema this century, an epic tear-jerker! Honestly, I cried a full 352 times during it, used up seven boxes of tissues, fainted once, and was even sent to the hospital for emergency treatment at the end."

Shang Rongyan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her smile becoming even more brilliant.

She toyed with her long hair and nodded, "Hehe, that's just standard operation. I advise you to broaden your horizons; my acting skills are far from reaching their limit. There will be plenty of times for you to cry later."

If not for Celinka's decent "acting skills," she would probably have burst out laughing right now.

Since they were filming a daily life scene, in order to make it look more realistic, they specifically had Shang Rongyan turn on the TV, with two old friends chatting casually, creating this kind of casual, lazy atmosphere. However, a piece of news on the TV at this moment caught everyone's attention.

[Now broadcasting today's entertainment news]

[The famous director Nolan announces the upcoming production of a new film, in which the female lead will be played by an actor from Jiuzhou...]

Hearing this, the corners of Shang Rongyan's mouth curled up again.

She shook her head, pretended to helplessly spread her hands, and sighed, "Sigh, this Nolan is really something. I told him not to announce it so quickly; I still need to check my schedule for specific filming dates and can't give him an accurate answer yet. I have many new movies to start filming next year, and I might not have time to go to his side..."

Celinka smiled along with her, her cheeks stiffening, and said exaggeratedly, "Wow, Shang, you are truly excellent! Such a busy person!"

[The actor's name is Yin Yanyan, who is also a very excellent singer. The film 'neon Summer' she participated in has already earned everyone's tears just from the test screenings and previews...]

[The promotional song 'neon,' which she sang herself, has long occupied the top spot on major charts...]

[Please see the detailed report below. According to Nolan, he believes that the acting skills of the originally selected actress were open to question and insufficient to support such a grand production, while Yin Yanyan's acting skills have been unanimously recognized...]

[Bang—!]

Before the host could finish speaking, Shang Rongyan threw the wine glass in her hand.

The moment it hit the TV screen, it shattered upon impact, and the program being broadcast stopped abruptly.

Shang Rongyan was trembling with rage, her deep cleavage heaving continuously. Her face, which had been exquisite to the extreme, was covered with a flush of red from excessive anger, and everyone in the room could hear her gnashing her teeth.

Many people from the production team were here, thirty-odd people in total. Everyone had heard the news from the program just now. Silence, a deathly silence.

It was so quiet that not only could a pin dropping on the floor be heard, but even the sound of blood flowing could be clearly heard. Everyone realized that Shang Rongyan was not in a good mood right now, a very bad mood. She was already furious, at the edge of madness at any moment.

Celinka felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if her throat was being tightly gripped by fate.

She trembled, forced a smile, and said, "That, um... perhaps... it is, um, it should be that the program had a problem, right? Hahaha, right, a problem! This must be some reporter from a small TV station, spouting gossip to attract attention..."

Shang Rongyan took a deep breath. She slowly turned her head back, her words sharp like knives, "This is Jiuzhou TV, they don't spout gossip."

"Uh..." Celinka was speechless for a moment. What to do? What to do? It was too awkward! Toes curling into the floor, what to do? Who can save me?

At this moment, her heart suddenly stirred. She jumped up and said to the people beside her with a shocked expression, "You... did you hear anything?"

Everyone: ??? They shook their heads repeatedly.

Celinka cursed inwardly, then shouted excitedly, "Fire! Our room is on fire! My God, I hear the sound of flames burning! Hurry up and turn off the cameras, leave quickly! Get a taxi and get out now! The luggage is about to catch fire!"

Everyone: !!! Amazing! As expected of a producer, this clever little brain of hers is truly unmatched.

So everyone chimed in: "That's right, this scorching flame is about to burn everything I have to ashes!"

"Damn it! This must be the legendary heart-throb arsonist appearing!"

"Oh my god! Are you talking about the heart-throb arsonist? No wonder I feel like I'm getting spicy... ah no, burning up..."

Everyone hurriedly left the room like a whirlwind. Until only Shang Rongyan was left.

She clenched her pink fists tightly and erupted into an earth-shattering roar: "Ah—!"
