Chapter 167

she turned to Moyao curiously and asked, "Big Brother Moyao, why does he fall asleep as soon as I arrive""He’s no longer alone," Moyao said nonchalantly. Chuchu made an "oh" sound again. Moyao knew s...Chapter 167

"It's so touching..." a film critic said, "It has been a long time since I've seen a movie that can make people shed tears like this. Worth it!"

"For Lin Ning to produce such work is truly unbelievable."

...

"This movie will definitely become popular."

...

The film critics behind her started discussing, and the journalists in front of her also began a lively discussion. The scene today was vastly different from yesterday's viewing of "Crownless King"; yesterday it was filled with laughter, but this movie pulled at everyone’s heartstrings.

After watching "Crownless King," viewers felt that they hadn't had enough. In contrast, "Incomparable Beauty" left people feeling deeply moved and impressed by the poignant beauty of it all.

Cai Xiaojing tightly held onto Warm's hand and said, "Warm, you've succeeded, you've succeeded."

From watching the audience’s reactions today, Cai Xiaojing could predict that there would be many outstanding reviews online and in newspapers and magazines tomorrow. This film was sure to have the best word-of-mouth among this year's New Year films.

The fact that a feel-good New Year film turned out to be a tragedy didn't meet the audience's expectations, but perhaps it wouldn’t achieve the same box office success as "Crownless King." Nevertheless, it would definitely have the best口碑. What Warm needed now was good word-of-mouth.

Box office earnings were merely an added bonus.

She had successfully showcased her talent and potential, which was more important than anything else.

This debut work would surely be a hit.

Warm felt very happy. Besides the movie being excellent, she also found it surprising that Chen Xieru's role had significantly increased in importance. Originally, according to Lin Ning's script, Chen Xieru only had some small scenes and just one or two major scenes. However, after watching the film, it was clear that Lin Ning must have re-edited the footage; originally, Chen Xieru’s scenes were shot around seventh or eighth place, but after editing, her role became almost as important as the male lead's, second only to Warm. Moreover, Chen Xieru performed exceptionally well and didn't look any less impressive under Warm's spotlight.

"Beauties of the City" was originally a女主戲, it's perfectly normal for two women to carry the film. It’s obvious that Lin Ning favors them both. Cai Xiao Jing has a premonition that this will be Chen Xueru's comeback.

Moreover, yesterday she had tea with an agent and casually mentioned that Chen Xueru's shelving order has been lifted; it's possible she might change agents as well. From now on, Chen Xueru may be taken care of by Hu Lisha, another one of An Ning’s top agents.

This film made the lead actress and female supporting actress famous, while Zhou Chengge clearly took a backseat role in it.

Fortunately, he didn't mind. From reading the script at the beginning, he knew that this was a女主戲. He only joined out of respect for Lin Ning’s face, so when it comes to promoting people, Zhou Chengge doesn’t care about it.

After watching the movie, Zhou Chengge walked over and patted Nuanmian's shoulder with a smile, "Congratulations, Nuanmian. You've become an overnight sensation."

The success of a film is usually known after the preview screening, and this one is sure to succeed unexpectedly. Although it might not have the highest box office revenue, its word-of-mouth reputation will certainly be excellent, and it'll definitely leave a deep impression.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou," Nuanmian smiled back.

Then Cai Xiao Jing led her to greet many filmmakers and media people who were full of praise for the film. Nuanmian was relieved and modestly accepted their compliments.

Many fans asked for photos after the interview, and Nuanmian didn't refuse, staying busy for over half an hour.

The crowd had mostly dispersed when Ye Feimo walked up with a somewhat sarcastic expression. Seeing her standing next to Zhou Chengge made him think of the more daring scene from earlier in the film; he squinted his eyes dangerously. Both Zhou Chengge and Nuanmian were smiling, but it looked very wrong to Second Young Master Ye, extremely irksome.

Cai Xiao Jing wisely chose not to speak, while Zhou Chengge proactively greeted Ye Feimo. Ye Feimo shot him a sharp glance; Zhou Chengge was thoroughly confused. Nuanmian didn't know what mood he was in and looked at Cai Xiao Jing innocently. Cai Xiao Jing made a lip shape gesture, causing Nuanmian's lips to twitch instantly.

Was this really necessary

Under Ye Feimo's powerful aura, Zhou Chengge tactfully walked away.

Warm wanted to escape, but Ye Feimo caught her, asking, "How many people were on set when you were filming the intimate scenes"

"About thirty or forty."

"So, about thirty or forty people saw your body"

"Hey, do you have to be so suggestive When the movie comes out, won't everyone across the country see it anyway"

"Are you hinting that I should ban this film"

Warm: "..."

Sigh... Are you a crown prince

Ye Feimo glared at her and said domineeringly, "From now on, no films or TV series with kissing scenes or intimate scenes are allowed."

Warm: "..."

Seeing her pouting face, Ye Feimo sneered and curled his lips, "Is that so enjoyable Is his kiss not as good as mine"

Weakly, Warm asked, "Have you kissed him before How do you know his kissing skills aren't as good as yours"

Cai Xiaojing and Lin Ning couldn't help but laugh. Miss Wen, you are truly talented; what a great question!

Ye Feimo: "... "

Damn brat, your reactions aren't quick enough in other situations, but they're quick enough here.

The anger she had initially felt dissipated after hearing her say this.

Lin Ning and Tang Shuwen were still there, but Tang Shuwen didn't look too good. Wen Ran thought that when Zhao Yuning brought her in with a smile earlier on, it seemed fine, but now her expression was gloomy, as if the smile she wore looked forced.

Cai Xiaojing and Wen Ran walked over to find Lin Ning talking about this film with Director Gu and Su Ran. Lin Ning had been praising Chen Xueru highly and was telling Director Gu that they should get Chen Xueru for the role in "Liang Hongyu."

Wen Ran happened to hear them, feeling very happy as she hurriedly asked, "Director Lin, are you serious Are we really going to get Sister Xueru to act"

"Oh dear, Miss Wen's jealous" Lin Ning raised his voice mockingly. He praised Chen Xueru because he knew how good Wen Ran was; the impact she had on him when he watched her footage was immense and vivid, even after watching it a few times over. But today, seeing her performance on the big screen, apart from Wen Ran, Chen Xueru's acting was also impressive.

Even more surprisingly, in such a spotlight, Chen Xueru could still move the audience emotionally—a feeling he hadn't had during his previous three viewings. He always knew that Chen Xueru was a talented actress; he never expected to be so focused on Wen Ran that he overlooked her talent.

Ye Feimo smiled and glanced at her, to which Wen Ran replied with a smile, "I'm not jealous at all. I'm happy for Sister Xueru. There are some people who lack an eye for talent; they didn't see how good she is, so she hasn't become their cash cow yet."

Wen Ran spoke in a double entendre, and Ye Feimo raised his eyebrows as he said with a smirk, "Be careful what you say. Her ban on taking roles was just lifted."

She glared at him but knew that Ye Feimo was joking around and felt quite pleased. Wen Ran then told Lin Ning, "Director Lin, I think Sister Xueru would be amazing as Lady Hongyu."

Lin Ning and Director Gu laughed heartily together before patting Ye Feimo on the back; Ye Feimo twitched his eye but had nothing to say. Tang Shuwen's face darkened even more. Director Gu asked, "Why didn't Sister Xueru come today"

Wen Ran replied, "She said she was feeling a bit tired and wanted some rest."

"It looks like you two have pretty good rapport," commented Director Gu.

Wen Ran smiled back and said, "Since Director Lin's beautiful ladies are all charming, I naturally got to know Sister Xueru. Then we acted together in the play about Princess Qinglian, of course, so we're very close friends. Sister Xueru is really great; she has excellent acting skills and a wonderful personality."

Cai Xiaojing shook her head—she thought Wen Ran should be promoting herself instead of talking up Chen Xueru.

These people were all Ye Feimo's good friends, who could not be unaware of the relationship between Wen Ran and Ye Feimo. So it was fine that she wasn't trying to promote herself, but this lack of guile really made one feel anxious.athing was beside him, making him feel at ease. He thought he would fall asleep quickly, but there was an underlying unease in his heart. Every time it was quiet late at night, a certain thought stirr...
