The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 661: Chapter 265: Auspicious Start and the Second-Year Middle Schooler_3

Zhou Wang finally understood his purpose for seeking him out, and after thinking it over, he replied cautiously, ”If there’s any problem, come find me again. I’ll help you based on the situation.”

”Alright, Mr. Zhou. Well, I thank you in advance...”

Chen He just wanted to test Zhou Wang’s attitude. Seeing this, he felt much more at ease and went on to report Ji Xiaoxi’s recent situation.

According to Chen He, Ji Xiaoxi and him weren’t in much contact anymore. On one hand, Ji Xiaoxi, having just signed with Wuyou Media, was in the rising period of her career and busy with work. On the other hand, it seemed she had some suspicions...

”Mr. Zhou, it’s tough for me, you know. I have to maintain my concern for her without actually crossing the line. Xiaoxi is actually very smart; she might have noticed something odd, but she wouldn’t think that I would be in league with... uh, have connections with you.”

Chen He was in the middle of complaining and spoke too freely. When Zhou Wang looked over with a blank expression, he realized his mistake and promptly corrected himself.

”I know it’s not easy. You’ve worked hard. Rest assured, I never shortchange my people.”

Zhou Wang just patted him on the shoulder and smiled faintly.

After Chen He appropriately expressed his gratitude, Zhou Wang gave his final instruction, ”When you’re on set, keep an eye on Shen Yutong for me. Sometimes, with her temperament, she might endure grievances, but I don’t want to see that happen. Do you understand?”

”Rest easy, Mr. Zhou. Even if you didn’t ask, I’d still do it!”

Understanding the relationship between the two, Chen He quickly pounded his chest and promised.

After finishing his conversation with Chen He, Zhou Wang, hearing Ma Yuan calling him, threw his cigarette butt into the Coke can Chen He handed over and turned to leave.

At this moment, the two other fresh-faced actors, playing the second and fourth male leads, sidled up to Chen He.

”Brother Chen, you seem to be pretty familiar with Mr. Zhou?”

”Yeah, I feel that Mr. Zhou appears easygoing, but isn’t really that approachable. Were you acquainted before to be able to chat for so long...”

Listening to their tentatively probing inquiries, Chen He just smiled faintly and didn’t respond directly.

Since yesterday, everyone’s attitude towards him in the crew had undergone a complete transformation. Even the new director was courteous and polite...

Just this morning, waking up from the big bed and looking at the still charming Yang Hongni in his arms, Chen He sighed inwardly.

The ”superior” life he had longed for was finally beginning to set sail.

And all of this was thanks to that man.

At that moment, Chen He achieved complete mental clarity.

Whoever Ji Xiaoxi, Zhong Xiaoxi, Wang Xiaoxi were to him were fleeting; only the tangible wealth before him could truly be grasped.

So even if he could go back and do it all over, Chen He wouldn’t regret boarding Zhou Wang’s pirate ship. What’s a mere girlfriend’s worth anyway; even if he marries in the future, if Zhou Wang needs him, why not let him be the groom?

He was a villain, but he would be the villain living better than anyone else...

Chen He had already decided; holding tightly onto Zhou Wang’s thigh was henceforth the sole rule of his life.

”Thank you for the trouble.”

Chen He tossed his cigarette butt into a bottle of mineral water and casually handed it to the young actor beside him, then swaggered off.

...

”Action!”

Around ten-thirty in the morning, after everything was ready, with the clap of the slate, the first scene of ”Chu Tianyao” was finally officially underway.

As a rule of thumb, to ensure a good omen, crews often choose a simple scene for the first shoot to ensure smooth filming. So this first scene appeared quite dull in Zhou Wang’s eyes.

The plot was rather cliché, with Shen Yutong, playing the third female lead, encountering the second male lead teasing a respectable woman after descending from the Immortal Sect, then stepping in to uphold justice.

This part of the shoot had no dialogue or acting, just pure stunt work.

Because they had gone through the positions numerous times beforehand and there were no particularly difficult movements, filming progressed exceptionally quickly.

What made Zhou Wang amused was that although Shen Yutong executed flips, they were assisted by wires; she just needed to keep her movements unaltered.

Most of the time, she was hovering in mid-air foolishly waving her arms.

Of course, in the shots it looked like this, but once the filming was complete, they would add special effects, where on screen, one swing of Shen Yutong’s hand would send a flashy array of energy waves flying...

After over an hour of filming, it was finally time for lunch.

Typically, starting from this day, the quality of meals in the crew would decline rapidly. However, since Zhou Wang was still there today, the noon meal was arranged back at the hotel, and the standard was exceptionally lavish.

During lunch, Xia Xiwei, the lead actress who had hurried back from Magic City, also appeared.

When she showed up, Zhou Wang finally experienced what it meant to encounter a top-tier actor.

Besides him and Ma Yuan, the director and veteran actors all stood up promptly to greet Xia Xiwei, calling out ”Teacher Xia” with enthusiasm.

What surprised Zhou Wang slightly was that Xia Xiwei didn’t return alone.

Besides her inseparable assistant and agent, there was another casually dressed young man decked out in luxury brands, sticking by her side. Judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have a very familiar relationship with Xia Xiwei.
