Chapter 679: You Did That on Purpose
Yan Huan closed the door quietly. In the dark, even with her eyes closed, she knew which direction to walk to; hence, she would never bump into anything. This was her own room. She was familiar with the interior arrangement of the room, from the ornaments to where the bed was positioned.
After all, now that the interior of the house was in complete darkness, there was no difference as to whether her eyes were opened or closed.
She walked to her bed and sat down. After a while, she unfolded her blanket, covered herself with it and tried to fall asleep.
However, not long after, she opened her eyes. She began to somewhat understand why Su Muran would want to get married to Lu Qin. Su Muran had a motive; obviously, but Lu Qin had his own ulterior intentions as well.
Linlang was a company with plenty of golden opportunities and resources. Who would not want it? Just like Yan Huan’s fame, Linlang’s reputation depended on obtaining a high number of views and the success of a huge box office hit. However, what seemed surprising to people working in the entertainment industry would be how Linlang was so quick in building up the fame of new actors. Every movie they acted in would solidify their status and popularity. Su Muran had wanted to be famous very badly. With such great resources, why would she not take part in any production? It would be impossible for her to not want it.
Yan Huan sat on her bed as she wrapped her blanket around herself. She then took Lu Yi’s notebook from the top of the bookshelf and placed it on her lap. She flipped it open and started to investigate the current situation of Linlang. In the first few pages, it was written that there would be a change in ownership of Linlang.
Evidently, Linlang had not given a straightforward reply with regard to this matter. A silent response as such would indicate to the public that the change in ownership of Linlang was inevitable. As for the internal operations of Linlang, there were two television dramas currently in production. One of them would be a grand television series about the Qing Dynasty, while the other would be a movie for next year’s New Year Special which was about to start filming.
At the moment, the work schedule for both films was extremely tight. Hence, no matter how the outside world had become, the internal departments of Linlang were extremely calm and collected. Each employee was still carrying out everything that was within their scope of duty. Directors, crews and actors were handling the production of the movies with utmost professionalism. Managers were looking for spokespersons. Lu Yi’s death did not have the slightest impact on the daily operations of Linlang.
Suddenly, the cellphone that Yan Huan had cast aside rang. She picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, noting that it was from Luo Lin.
She accepted the call and placed the phone next to her ear. She still seemed to be lethargic. Her speech was monotonous and flat.
“Are you going to keep playing dead?” Luo Lin’s voice from the phone did not seem harsh. She was just kindly reminding Yan Huan to not go overboard.
“Yan Huan, as of now, someone has the greed to take over Linlang.”
“I know,” Yan Huan continued surfing the web page. If that is the case, let them try. I will let them know the meaning of how getting your hopes up too high will always lead to greater disappointment. I will also let them put in all their effort, just to see them perish in vain.
Luo Lin suddenly felt apprehensive.
“Yan Huan, you’re not doing this on purpose, right?”
“Am I?” Yan Huan nibbled lightly on her red lips. She had accidentally irritated the edge of her lips while doing so. “My body is not in good condition. You are aware of it, right?”
“I guess.” Even though Luo Lin had replied in this manner, she still felt that it was just like what she had suspected. She had nothing else to say and did not ask further questions. She hung up the phone and proceeded with other matters at hand.
Recently, she had asked Yan Huan about the budget of the New Year Special movie. It would be in 3D and the theme would be of a prehistoric civilization. The investments poured into the movie was grand. Moreover, she felt that once the filming of the movie was completed, there might be a chance that it might win an international film award. As of now, she was researching matters such as how to film the movie, the casting of actors and suitable shooting locations with the higher management of the company.
The first casting choice for such a grand film would automatically be Linlang’s top actors. For the main female lead, Yan Huan would be the main candidate. Meanwhile, the main male lead would be Qi Haolin. Zhou Zizhe would also be part of the cast as well. All of them were ideal candidates for this project. Evidently, the company still had plenty of newly recruited actors, of which most of them would need an opportunity to develop their acting career. If they did a great job in the movie, they might be able to attain stardom, in turn bringing in increasing profit for the company.
“I heard that Linlang is making a new film. They are thinking of making it a new year’s special for next year.”
Su Muran’s fingers glide through Lu Qin’s clothes gently. The upper edge of Lu Qin’s shoulders was smooth and fair. However, there were still faint marks on it that indicated that something had happened previously.
An adult man and an adult woman falling in love with each other passionately. This was nothing out of the ordinary. If there was nothing going on between them even till now, this proved that either she had issues; or the problem lay with him.
“Don’t worry. As for the film, once we had obtained the ownership of Linlang, we can film it if we want to. We can also not film it if we don’t want to.”
“Why won’t we film it?” Su Mumu lifted her fingers. Her nails were painted a vivid red; further accentuating how her fingers were as pristine as jade, slender and attractive. It was undeniable that from the outside, Su Muran was attractive. Obviously, she knew how to use her beauty to her advantage.
Nobody knew who was responsible for making all of the important decisions for Linlang. Most of the films in production were meant to draw in a large number of viewers and perform well at the box office. Hence, if this film also nets an income of three billion in terms of its box office gross, then our popularity would skyrocket to the level of legends within the entertainment industry.
When one had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, other matters would not be that significant. The success in the box office would transcend everything else; turning them into living legends in the industry.
“Alright,” Lu Qin gently stroked Su Muran’s hair. “If it is what you desire, then we shall be filming the movies as per your request. If you do not want the movie to be filmed, we can stop the production as you like. Obviously, you will have to be prepared to be worn out. You will definitely be the first choice for the main female lead.”
“Of course it will be me,” Su Muran would definitely accept such an arrangement without any hesitation.
If she was not cast as the main female lead, who would it be? Yan Huan? Yan Huan became useless ever since she lost her man. How would Yan Huan compete against her? Besides, Linlang would soon be under her control. She had really wanted to witness how pathetic Yan Huan would be when Yan Huan was trampled under her feet. She really could not wait to see how Yan Huan would be kneeling and begging her for mercy when the time comes, just like a dog.
“When are you going to ask your grandfather for Linlang?” Su Muran yawned. She was already drowsy. However, under her eyes, there was not even a slight hint of drowsiness.
“Once we get married, Linlang would be grandfather’s wedding gift to us.”
Lu Qin suddenly rolled over, pressing Su Muran under his body. “It would be a waste of such a lovely moment to be discussing such matters. We should take this opportunity to indulge ourselves in pleasure.”
Su Muran would naturally be willing to do so. Lu Qin was excellent in bed, so she loved it very much. Everyone thought that Su Muran was a pure and innocent woman. However, nobody in the world would be completely pure and innocent.
The marriage between Lu Qin and Su Muran was organized in such haste, prompting rumors that suggested that both of them were engaged a shotgun marriage. Sometimes, the rumors believed Su Muran to be pregnant as she would wear clothes that were slightly loose-fitting, complemented with flat footwear.
Besides, their wedding ceremony was going to be extravagant. The venue for their marriage would be on the island in a foreign country. Nobody knew the number of guests at the wedding. However, the live streaming of the wedding seemed to reflect the grandiosity of the event. The daughter of the Su Family was getting married into another family, while the Lu Family was welcoming a daughter-in-law to now be part of the family. Naturally, the event would not be low-key and simple; especially since they even planned to live-stream it.
Of course, there would also be a number of famous celebrities that would be attending the wedding. Su Muran’s bridesmaids consisted of five to six famous actresses. The groomsmen would also definitely be famous figures from the entertainment industry instead of nobodies.
